Still & Standing Podcast™ (formerly Redefine Your Struggle™) by, Amy McCann
🎙️ Still & Standing™
"Emotional and relational infrastructure for people with a lot on the line."
You’ve held it all together—through service, leadership, caregiving, or rebuilding what life disrupted. We’re here to help refine your resilience through real-time, real-life practice.
Still & Standing™ isn’t about staying calm.
It’s about standing in self-honesty when strength feels worn out.
It’s about learning to still ourselves through life’s pressure points and choosing presence over performance.
This podcast invites you to pause, reimagine what resilience means, and rediscover the kind of strength that connects—not isolates.
Because true leadership doesn’t chase significance. It’s a decision to live in wholeness with love, honesty, and authentic, lasting resonance.

When Credentials Disappoint: What Hiring for Presence Taught Me
🎙 When Credentials Aren’t Enough and Longevity Loses Its Appeal
Bonus Episode | Still & Standing Podcast
Description:
How do we avoid disappointment before it begins?
In this short bonus episode, I explore two often-overlooked blind spots: assuming longevity equals success, and assuming credentials guarantee connection.
Whether interviewing a long-married couple or hiring for care, it’s easy to lean on surface-level signals of trust based on years together or work experience.
But what if presence matters more?
I share a behind-the-scenes story from my experience hiring home health nurses and how bringing a beginner’s mind to the table helped me move beyond repeated disappointment to find not just competence, but high-quality, long-term care partners.
This episode invites you to reconsider how you evaluate connection — and how curiosity may be the missing piece when credentials fall short and connection doesn’t follow.
