Descripción

You know exactly what you want to say. You’ve rehearsed it a hundred times. But when the moment comes — you go quiet. In this episode, Amanda gets honest about the conversations we keep putting off in our closest relationships and why staying silent is costing us more than we think. She shares her own story of pushing through postpartum depression, working from home with an infant, and spending two months too long afraid to tell her husband she needed out — and what happened the moment she finally said it out loud. This episode is a reminder that growth means being honest not just with yourself, but with the people you chose to do life with. Welcome & Who This Episode Is For (00:00:00) Amanda opens with a direct word Have You Been Putting Off a Hard Conversation? (00:00:45) Have you been avoiding a conversation with your spouse or partner because you’re afraid of the response or the outcome? You’ve run through every scenario — and still can’t say it. Amanda’s Story: Newlywed, New Baby, and Running on Empty (00:01:45) Married, pregnant, navigating postpartum, and working from home with a newborn while supporting women in crisis Hitting the Boiling Point (00:03:30) Amanda finally told her husband — this is not working for me. It’s a paycheck but my mental health is struggling. His response? Why We Stay Quiet (00:04:45) We’ve already played out every possible response in our heads and we’re terrified of one of them. So we stay quiet and convince ourselves we’re fine — while it gets heavier every day. What Silence Actually Does to Your Relationship (00:06:00) He thinks everything is okay because you’re not saying otherwise. You cannot be frustrated with someone for not responding to a conversation you never had. You Were Never Meant to Carry This Alone (00:07:15) Keeping everything inside isn’t protecting anyone — it’s blocking you. You cannot fully step into who you’re called to be while carrying things you don’t have to carry alone. Faith, Hurt, and Why Speaking It Out Loud Shifts Everything (00:08:30) The hesitation is real and Amanda isn’t dismissing it. But this is where faith comes in. Tool #1: The Capacity Check-In (00:09:30) Amanda and her husband rate themselves by percentage throughout the week. A hard conversation at 30% won’t go the way you want. Knowing each other’s capacity changes everything. Tool #2: The Weekly Intentional Check-In (00:11:00) Fifteen to thirty minutes, just the two of you. Something you struggled with, something you appreciate, and something you noticed and are grateful for. Simple. Intentional. It works. Tool #3: Pray Together (00:12:15) For the couples who are believers — pray together about what you’re facing individually and collectively. It doesn’t have to be long or perfect. Just intentional. The Conversation Amanda Kept Putting Off (00:13:15) She sat in it two months longer than she had to. When she finally said it, her husband told her to leave the job. That was it. Two months of unnecessary stress — gone in one conversation. Whatever Your Conversation Is — Have It (00:14:30) Going back to school, starting a business, something that hasn’t been sitting right — give the people in your life the opportunity to actually understand you. Your Voice Matters. Use It. (00:15:30) Closing encouragement and how to connect with Amanda or become a guest on She’s Ready For More. Quotes From This Episode: “We cannot be frustrated with someone for not responding to a conversation that we never had.” “You cannot fully step into who you are called to be while carrying things that you don’t have to carry alone.” Stay Connected!

When God Says You’re the Blueprint| Sharonda Harden

What does it look like to lose almost everything and still say yes to God? In this episode, Amanda sits down with Sharr Harden, founder of the Saved Now What Movement , a faith community for women ready to stop surviving and start thriving. Sharr shares her journey through new age religion, the back-to-back loss of her mother and grandmother, depression, and a pruning season that nearly broke her. Then God told her she was the blueprint and she had to build from scratch what she’d been searching for. This is a conversation about radical obedience, identity in Christ, and what it really means to give God your yes. In this episode: • Losing her mother, grandmother, and stability in rapid succession • Leaving new age religion and returning to faith • How a six-month social media fast transformed her identity • Building the Saved Now What Movement from nothing • Why your obedience isn’t just for you , someone is waiting on your yes Connect with Sharonda Book: https://a.co/d/09ojDGmw [https://a.co/d/09ojDGmw] SNWM website: https://savednowwhatmovement.org/ [https://savednowwhatmovement.org/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1CkJnzgois/?mibextid=wwXIfr [https://www.facebook.com/share/1CkJnzgois/?mibextid=wwXIfr] Personal IG: https://www.instagram.com/altard_sharr?igsh=b2txYjQ1bHFuMmRi [https://www.instagram.com/altard_sharr?igsh=b2txYjQ1bHFuMmRi] SNWM IG: https://www.instagram.com/saved_now_what?igsh=MXkxZzJranNjMHhzNw== [https://www.instagram.com/saved_now_what?igsh=MXkxZzJranNjMHhzNw==] Stay Connected!
