Rewriting the Story of Hard Things

How Do You Measure "Enough"

Amanda reflects on the familiar question most of us carry: Is this Enough? She explores how growth often hides in the everyday, only becoming visible when we zoom out—through end of school‑year photos, handwriting progress, or home project before and after's. Amanda reframes “enough” as something that shifts with purpose and season, inviting listeners to offer themselves grace, rest without guilt, and trust the slow unfolding of growth. She also shares a peek at what’s ahead: summer guest conversations and her October retreat in Minnesota, Petals & Pines: The Art of Being Present.

Rethinking the "Right Way"

This episode of Where the Road Runs Out explores the idea that there’s no single “right way” to learn, create, parent, or live. Inspired by moments with her kids—her son solving math his own way and her daughter creating art for the joy of it—Amanda reflects on how often we doubt ourselves and compare our path to others, especially in a world filled with highlight reels. She invites listeners to observe their thoughts for a few days, label which ones are useful or not, dig into the deeper fears beneath the unhelpful ones, and practice reframing them into something more supportive. Even shifting one thought can build trust in your own timing, wisdom, and unique way of moving through the world.

How to Move Forward When You’re Stuck

When you’re standing at a crossroads with too many good ideas and not enough clarity, this episode offers a grounded way forward. Amanda reflects on decision paralysis, the stories that keep us stuck, and the simple practice of returning to your why, questioning your assumptions, and choosing one path to explore through action. A gentle reminder that clarity comes from doing—and that you don’t have to close the door on the ideas you’re not choosing yet.

Guided Meditation: Rainfall and Renewal

In this gentle spring meditation, Amanda invites you into a much‑needed pause—like a warm Midwestern rain that slows everything down. Through vivid imagery of darkening skies, soft raindrops, and sunshine breaking through, you’ll release busy thoughts, settle your mind, and remember that growth is happening even in the quiet moments. This short practice is a reminder that the in‑between seasons matter just as much as the bright, blooming ones.

Rewriting the Story of Hard Things

Amanda explores the difference between struggle and suffering—and why so much of what weighs us down is shaped by our beliefs. Inspired by a teaching that “80% of suffering is exaggeration,” she shares a personal story about her family cabin and walks through the ABC Method to reframe negative thoughts. This episode invites you to notice where unnecessary suffering shows up in your life and approach those beliefs with curiosity and compassion.
