You've had insight before. The clarity, conviction, and even real momentum. And yet, somehow, it didn't last.

If you've ever wondered why meaningful change feels so hard to sustain, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Amy explores why insight alone—no matter how true or powerful—rarely leads to lasting transformation. Not because you failed, but because insight was never meant to carry the full weight of change on its own.

This episode gently reframes skepticism as wisdom-in-the-making and invites you to consider a different path forward & one rooted in formation rather than intensity.

You'll explore:

• Why insight often sparks change but can't sustain it
• How intensity-based growth struggles to survive real life
• Why seasons of disappointment don't mean you're resistant
• The difference between performance-driven change and formation that lasts
• What it means to stay with your story long enough for wisdom to take root

This isn't a call to try harder or hope faster. It's an invitation to slow down, notice patterns, and consider what kind of change can actually be carried over time.

If you've been protecting yourself from false hope (or wondering why past breakthroughs faded), this episode offers language, clarity, and a steadier way forward.

Not through reinvention. Through spiritual formation.
