  • 147. Post Traumatic Growth; Remembering YOU
    Have you been caught in the loop of everything you've lost since the betrayal or your life-saving divorce? It’s so easy for our brains—especially when we’re still in survival mode—to focus on what’s gone and what may never be again.In this episode, I want to gently shift that lens with you. I’ll help you see that healing and growth don’t come from ignoring your pain—they come from reclaiming what’s still yours. Your strength. Your voice. Your wisdom. Even if those parts feel buried right now.I’ll talk about how trauma wires the brain to detect threat, how your nervous system plays a huge role in your healing, and how post-traumatic growth becomes possible when you start to notice what you haven’t lost. I also share a few personal stories that shaped this journey for me.Why your brain focuses on loss (and how to shift it)The difference between reflecting and ruminatingHow to start identifying what’s still within youWhy nervous system safety is the foundation of growth_______________________________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING ✨📍 Dating From Within WorkshopJune 12–14 | 6–8pm CST (Live Zoom)Learn how to date yourself first, reconnect with who you really are, and feel confident before dating again.

  • 44. When Trusting Yourself Is Too Hard
    Join me today in my summer music month series where I will share songs that played a key role in my healing journey. Join the conversation by sharing YOUR empowering song on Apple or Spotify reviews so other women can build their healing playlist!Today's song choice is the first song that really helped me lean back into trust, when I couldn't trust myself, or anyone else after betrayal. I didn't even want to trust God, but I knew I had to start somewhere, or I'd end up nowhere. Lauren Daigle's Trust in You created that shift within me to lean into trust again after divorce. It was still hard to trust myself and others, so I thought I would start with trusting a higher power. For me, that's God. This song spoke to my soul, saved me from despair and gave me hope that there was a way out of it, a way forward, and a way back to peace. What song is helping you to have an EMPOWERED DIVORCE?GET YOUR SPOT TODAY!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Believing in You ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- AUGUST 2nd!
