Insightful, Impactful and inspirational
Amy not only gives space to allow her guests to speak of their faith but offers beautiful insights along the way. This is an amazing podcast that is delicately balanced to not only hear of others traumas but to help us heal from our own.
How powerful….
This show from Amy helps me understand something I struggle with. I have not lived with trauma but I know many people around me have…and I need more compassion and understanding. Hearing Amy’s story and others softens my heart so that I can hopefully be an uplifter and encourager instead of an ignorer. Thank you for having the courage to share.
Honest with a view for complete restoration
Amy is vulnerable, intelligent, and compassionate. She tells her story and allows a platform for others involved with trauma with a goal to comfort, create community and enable healing and insight into our pain and how to be restored.
