If you’ve ever felt the tension between who you were taught to be and who you truly are, you’re not alone. For years, Amanda Davison spoke about marriage through her work with A Wife Like Me. But after working with thousands of women, a deeper pattern emerged: many women weren’t struggling because they were failing as wives—they were struggling because they had been taught to both silence and neglect themselves. This podcast explores what happens when women begin to question the spiritual pressures that taught them to shrink. Through honest conversations, personal reflections, and thoughtful interviews, Amanda explores topics like religious conditioning, identity, boundaries, relationships, and the courage it takes to live authentically. This podcast is for women who are untangling themselves from expectations that no longer fit—and learning to trust the One who created them. It's is a space for curiosity, healing, growth, and freedom.
