Amy sits down with Matt Smallbone, lead pastor of Church of the City in downtown Nashville and author of the new book The Prayer Experiment. Before he was a pastor he spent over a decade touring the world as a bass player with artists including Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, and KING + COUNTRY. 

Matt openly admits he once struggled with prayer himself and what happened when he committed to praying the Lord's Prayer every single day for a year will genuinely surprise you…from this The Prayer Experiment was born.

The Prayer Experiment is a book for anyone who has ever felt like they don't pray right, given up because prayer felt dry and formulaic, or quietly wondered if it even makes a difference. Matt weaves together biblical teaching, honest personal stories, and a little Aussie humor to explore each phrase of the Lord's Prayer. It includes a thirty day guide to help you build a prayer practice that actually sticks. The surprising truth? You never outgrow the Lord's Prayer. It is simple enough for a child, deep enough for a theologian, and strong enough to hold you for a lifetime.

Kat is feeling scattered and Amy is feeling thankful. While, can’t remember why exactly she feels that way, she does know that she hates the saying: “Wet my whistle.” The mention of “whistle” makes the conversation take an interesting turn. Amy is also fully convinced her Oura Ring is going to keep her single forever because her sleep score now matters more than going out. Kat recommends a new game called Play 9 that might be their new favorite thing. A comment made about Amy talking with her hands a lot on an IG live sparks a chat about policing our own thoughts. Plus a list of signs that a friendship feels like home and whether Amy and Kat's friendship checks all the boxes. And new research from Oxford shows most women have about five close friends and what happens to that number when a new relationship comes along.

I watched the most recent cult document released on Netflix over the weekend called Trust Me: The False Prophet.

It is an absolutely disturbing and important show.

It’s the most recent in a long line of cult documentaries and crime podcasts I’ve watched over the years and I have noticed a pattern, a list of behaviors and dynamics that can coerce otherwise intelligent, successful, big-hearted people to do things they would otherwise find abhorrent. 

Most distressingly, none of us are immune. These tactics are common and effective. 

And they are deployed all around us, as we speak. 

So how do we stay in our power? On today’s episode, I share what I’ve learned from many years of working with writers and the powerful tool for accessing agency that is at your fingertips perpetually, no matter who you are.

If you’ve been feeling a lack of agency, stuck in loops of scarcity, or like you’re constantly reacting to life rather than leading it… this episode is your recalibration point.

This week, we move from the fluid emotions of the sacral into the "fire" of the Solar Plexus. As we navigate this period of accelerated energy, this center acts as your internal level—the bridge between your lower instincts and your higher consciousness. What many experience as chronic inflammation, adrenal fatigue, or "foot-in-mouth" syndrome is often a Solar Plexus struggling to metabolize the world around it.

In this episode of Soul Sessions, Amanda explores the "Mighty I Am." Because when you master your seat of power, you stop outsourcing your resourcefulness to others and start magnetizing your reality from the inside out.

This episode explores:

--The Seat of Personal Power: Understanding the Solar Plexus as your calibration point for consciousness and manifestation.

--Metabolizing Life: How your gut isn’t just digesting food—it’s digesting your environment, your experiences, and your day-to-day interactions.

--Fear as a Distortion: Identifying the two primary fear programs—the fear of losing what you have and the fear of not getting what you want.

--The Gut-Brain Connection: The science of serotonin in the gut and how unconscious programming lives in your digestive center.

--Agency vs. Powerlessness: Reclaiming your ability to choose, change your mind, and take personal responsibility for your actions and attitudes.

--The Physical Toll: How Solar Plexus imbalances manifest as chronic inflammation, adrenal strain, and weight fluctuations.

--The Internal Broadcast: Auditing the "shadow" dialogue—what are you unconsciously broadcasting to the world through your fears?

WORK WITH THIS EPISODE

For the next 7 days, focus on your Solar Plexus to shift from reaction to agency:

--The Fear Audit: Ask yourself daily: "What am I afraid of right now?" and "Is scarcity shaping my decision-making?" Awareness is the first step to clearing the distortion.

--Check Your "Input": Be mindful of what you are ingesting—both nutritionally and energetically. Focus on balancing your gut and colon to boost your physical lifeforce.

--Monitor the Dialogue: When you catch yourself in an internal loop or a "foot-in-mouth" moment, pause. Choose a different response to reclaim your agency.

--Visualize Yellow: Envision a bright, steady golden-yellow light at your navel. See it as a level, finding its center and steadying your confidence and resourcefulness.

--Somatic Check-in: Notice where you feel "tight" in your midsection. --Practice deep belly breathing to soothe the interface between your nervous system and your physical body.

In this episode, Leanne launches a special 5-part series on the teenage brain crisis—and why today's teens are struggling in ways we've never seen before.

Nearly 1 in 3 teen girls seriously considered suicide in the past year. 42% of high school students report persistent sadness or hopelessness. This isn't just a mental health crisis. It's a brain wiring crisis.

Leanne explains how social media is fundamentally rewiring the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC)—the self-image brain—for anxiety, comparison, and emotional dysregulation instead of resilience. The patterns being wired into teen brains right now will become the default settings they live with for decades.

But here's the good news: Teen brains are plastic. They can be rewired. And ages 12 to 25 are the most transformable years of life.

Drawing from her own teenage struggles and 15 years of coaching adults through patterns that started in adolescence, Leanne introduces the four critical tools every teen needs to build emotional fitness and resilience before these patterns become permanent.

Ready to bring these tools to your school or teen? Head over to TeenagerBrain.com to request a free sample lesson. You'll see exactly how the Teenager Brain curriculum works and test-drive a full lesson yourself.

We're looking for our next 25 pilot schools for Fall 2026. This is a 4-week plug-and-play emotional fitness program that teaches students how to regulate their emotions, separate truth from lies, and build a self-image that lasts—without adding to your workload.

Amy and Kat sit down with Sissy Goff and David Thomas to answer listener questions and talk about their newest book, Capable. They share practical tools for raising capable, resilient kids and answer everything from screen time (did you know a family media calculator exists?) to parenting college aged kids and what to do when your child is capable but just refuses to try. This conversation covers it all. They also tackle how to raise more empathetic kids, what to do when your child's emotional age doesn't match their actual age, and why the WAIT acronym might be the most useful tool ever. Plus a rapid fire round with Sissy and David that is not so rapid but gives some really good insight.

Sissy Goff and David Thomas have been sitting with children and families as therapists at Daystar Counseling Ministries for decades. Through their counseling, podcast, books, and speaking, they have made it their life's work to offer practical help and hope to families.

Kat is overwhelmed by ‘stroller TikTok’ and genuinely scared of Waymo cars. Amy is sitting with some shame after totally bombing a “feelings” quiz. Amy’s reminded of a reel she saw a woman post about being the “single friend” and then Kat shares a list of things she does not understand including why iced coffee costs more than hot, how superglue never gets stuck in the bottle, and how dry cleaning works. Amy discovered an app called Yuka that scans the barcodes of your food and personal care products and rates them on ingredient quality and it’s addicting (Kat warns that this app might not be good for everything depending on where they are with disordered eating.)

In this episode, Leanne explores the question: “What would it look like to trust God with my body?” Drawing from her personal journey and the experiences of many women, Leanne delves into the idea that trusting God with our bodies isn't about achieving perfection but about surrendering control and embracing our God-given worth.

Leanne outlines five transformative shifts that can lead to healing: ceasing the pursuit of worthiness through self-fixing, discerning God's voice over shame, moving from control to stewardship, partnering with God in our journey, and anchoring our identity in Christ rather than our reflection. This episode serves as a compassionate guide for those seeking freedom from body image struggles, reminding them that peace and healing are possible through a partnership with God

If you’ve been feeling over-reactive, stagnant, or like your emotions are a tidal wave you can’t quite control… this episode will help you understand why.

Right now, we are collectively moving from the "doing" of the root into the "feeling" of the sacral. What many experience as emotional leakage, overexplaining, or a constant need for external validation is actually a sacral chakra that is either blocked or overflowing without a container.

In this episode of Soul Sessions, Amanda moves the conversation into the fluid center of the body. Because once you learn to use your emotions intelligently, they stop being something that overpowers you and start becoming your greatest superpower for manifestation and direction.

This episode explores:

• Emotional Intelligence vs. Emotional Overwhelm: Learning to see feelings as information rather than immediate instructions.
• The Power of Receptivity: Why western "hustle" culture blocks the sacral and how to attract opportunities, money, and love by doing less and receiving more.
• Identifying Emotional Leakage: How overexplaining, seeking social media validation, and replaying mental dialogues drain your life force.
• The 21-Second Rule: Why sitting with a trigger for less than a minute can shift you from a reactive state to emotional neutrality.
• The Physical Connection: How the sacral impacts the hips, pelvis, lower back, kidneys, and reproductive system.
• Reclaiming Sovereignty: Moving away from putting your happiness in the hands of your spouse, children, or friends and getting back into the driver’s seat.
• Magnetizing Reality: How clear emotional energy acts as a signal to the field to bring in health, wealth, and community.

This is not about denying your feelings or becoming "numb."

This is about becoming the person who leads their energy, rather than the person being led by their triggers.

WORK WITH THIS EPISODE

For the next 6–7 days, focus on your sacral chakra:

• Pause Before Reacting: When triggered, sit with the feeling for at least 30 seconds before responding to a text, email, or person.
• Practice the "Simple No": Notice where you feel the need to overexplain or justify your boundaries. Practice a clear "No, I can't," without the extra energy.
• Check Your Hips: Notice tension in your pelvis or lower back; use the jaw-opening exercise while holding your belly to release the connection between your voice and your center.
• Visualize Orange: During your morning or evening routine, envision a vibrant orange light in your lower abdomen, anchoring your sense of "deserve-ability."

This week I asked my 4 year old a question that I realized was actually for me:

How much would it take for you to be happy? 

As I watched him wrestle with this big question, I realized I have the same dilemma he does, the same dilemma all human beings face as we think about how we will love and live: do we surrender everything to discover love? 

Or do we fight for what’s “rightfully” ours? 

Do we defend ourselves and our possessions no matter the cost? 

The conversation stuck with me and got me thinking about a childhood book I loved, about the Garden of Eden (of all things) and about what a life of meaning really requires.

A listener named Lori writes in with a genuinely uncomfortable situation that happened at her mother in law's hospice bedside and it opens up a really honest conversation about family dynamics, boundaries, and knowing when to speak up and when to let something go. A caller named Ashley sets the record straight on Mahjong…it is less of a fun game and more of a full brain workout. Heather from Canada calls in to report that nobody in Canada wears shoes in the house and it is just completely normal there. Plus Amy and Kat talk about the new book Yesteryear which dives into tradwife culture in the most unexpected and brilliant way.
