Send us a textWholehearted Storywork Part 1Pain changes you. Loss, disappointment, betrayal, or suffering can quietly shape how you see yourself, God, and the world.In this first episode of the Wholehearted Storywork series, Amy introduces the Victim role, not as an identity to reject or a mentality to shame, but as a place in the story where real pain is named and honored.This conversation explores the difference between acknowledging harm and becoming stuck in it, and how Scripture invites you into holy lament rather than denial, blame, or self-erasure.You'll explore: Why being a victim of pain is not a failure of faith.How unprocessed hurt can shape your story.The difference between telling the truth about what happened and living from a victim mentality.Why lament is a faithful and biblical response to suffering.How healing begins with paying attention, not pressure or quick resolutionThis episode is not about fixing your pain or rushing your healing. It's about creating space for honesty, compassion, and the slow work of formation.If you've been carrying a story that hurts (and aren't sure what to do with it), this conversation offers language and a way forward that doesn't bypass your humanity.Being in the Victim role doesn't mean you stay there; it simply means you're telling the truth about where you are.Healing begins when the truth is told in the presence of God's unconditional love.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

Send us a textWhat story are you living right now?Not the one you wish you were in. Not the polished version you post about. The real one. The one where you feel stuck, tired, or uncertain about what comes next.In this series introduction, Amy invites you into a new way of understanding your spiritual formation journey through four key roles we all move through: the Victim, the Villain, the Hero, and the Guide.This isn't about labeling yourself or fixing what's broken. It's about recognizing where you are in your story so you can respond with wisdom instead of shame.If you've been exhausted by trying harder, spiritual intensity that burns you out, or quick fixes that don't last, this series offers something different: a slower, steadier, more compassionate path toward wholeness.Your starting point doesn't have to be your stuck point.This is just the beginning. Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

Send us a textYou'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 itHow intensity-based growth struggles to survive real lifeWhy seasons of disappointment don't mean you're resistantThe difference between performance-driven change and formation that lastsWhat it means to stay with your story long enough for wisdom to take rootThis 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.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

Send us a textMy confession and an invitation to release…As a faithful woman, you aren't burned out because you lack discipline; you're exhausted because you've been carrying a responsibility God never asked you to bear.In this episode, Amy explores the difference between responding to God and taking responsibility for outcomes and how easily faith can slip from love into pressure, control, and performance.This conversation isn't about becoming irresponsible or lowering the bar. It's about releasing the heavy yoke and rediscovering a faith formed by belovedness rather than fear.You'll explore:Why responsibility often becomes a hidden spiritual burden.How Scripture reframes obedience as response, not self-management.What Jesus meant when He said His yoke is easy and His burden is light.How fear, control, and the need for significance quietly shape our faith.Why discipline isn't rejected, but reordered around love.If faith has started to feel heavy, demanding, or joyless, this episode offers language, permission, and a better way forward.Not through striving, but through response.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

Send us a textIf faith has started to feel heavier than life-giving, you're not alone AND you're not doing it wrong.In this foundational episode, Amy defines what Wholehearted living really means and, just as importantly, what it does not mean. This conversation is for the faithful, disciplined woman who has kept showing up… but is quietly tired of spiritual intensity that burns her out instead of forming her.Wholehearted living isn't hype, it doesn't strive out of fear, and it doesn't happen from trying harder.It's a formation process that begins with belovedness, not responsibility, and unfolds slowly through perseverance, wisdom, and grace.In this episode, you'll explore:Why some “old” approaches to spiritual growth stop working over time.How Scripture names divided, weary, and broken hearts, without shame.What it means to love God with your whole heart, mind, and strength without fragmentation.Why do rhythms spiritually form you more deeply than striving or big emotional moments?How discipline can be reordered around love instead of fear or pressure.This episode lays the foundation for the podcast's themes: Enneagram, rhythms, storywork, and a slower, more intentional journey of spiritual formation throughout the year.If you've been longing for growth that doesn't exhaust you, faith that doesn't demand certainty, and transformation that honors your story, then this conversation is for you.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

Rather than forcing answers, this conversation invites you to listen, reflect, and receive wisdom that often comes in the waiting, not before you come to a tidy ending.You'll explore:How Scripture reframes wisdom as something formed through perseverance.Why wise discernment often happens in the company of trusted guides and story witnesses.The role your personal story plays in helping you notice God's movement.How this posture of listening prepares the way for Wholehearted Storywork in the year ahead.You'll also receive a simple 3-question wisdom practice to help you start your next chapter, not with striving, but with ease.Because even when the plan isn't obvious, wisdom is still being offered.Grab your gift for the new year: The Wholehearted Abundance Journalhttps://www.simplywholehearted.com/thejourneytowholeheartedabundanceSupport the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

Send us a textPart 3 of Wholehearted Rhythms for 2026Writing doesn't have to be productive or even preserved to be meaningful.In this episode of The Wholehearted Enneagram Podcast, Amy Wicks reframes writing not as a habit to keep up with, but as a wholehearted rhythm of listening, a way to make space for honesty, gratitude, and discernment while your story is still unfolding.Drawing from her own practice of keeping both a gratitude journal and a “How long, O Lord?” journal, Amy explores why recording our prayers, questions, and thanksgivings over time helps form wisdom, not by rushing clarity, but by tracing your story.In this episode, you'll hear:Why writing is less about processing and more about listeningHow gratitude and lament can belong together on the pageThe benefits of keeping a record, not to preserve everything, but to notice patternsHow writing creates space for wisdom to form over timeA simple, gentle practice for engaging writing as a sustainable rhythmThis conversation is part of the Rhythms for 2026 mini-series, designed to help you stay grounded in God's presence through worship, writing, and wisdom, especially when life feels unclear.✨ Writing creates memory.

Send us a textThis Christmas tale isn't just a story; it's a mirror.In The Redemption of Mrs. Scrooge, you'll meet Jade, a mom quietly shaped by fear, control, and scarcity, doing her best to manage life, relationships, and expectations… until grace gently interrupts her story with unexpected generosity and hope.This modern retelling explores what happens when our patterns are exposed, not to shame us, but to free us.Performed as a dramatic reading by my mom, Paula West, this story captures the heart of the Wholehearted Enneagram:How fear shapes our coping strategies,How control can masquerade as wisdom,And how Christ lovingly rewrites our stories with truth, tenderness, and joy.As you listen, I invite you not to analyze, but to notice.What feels familiar.What stirs resistance?What invites release?Because peace isn't found in what you can control…it's found in what you're willing to lay down.RESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

Send us a textThis episode is written to gift you a little extra joy amidst the holiday noise. It features a fictional Christmas story, read aloud by my sister, Annaliese Hinking, that speaks to the parts of us feeling weary from constantly doing, stretching, pleasing, and trying to hold it all together. “To Grandmother's House We Go” follows Etta, a warm-hearted, overextended mom, as she navigates family expectations, emotional overload, and the quiet yearning for rest she struggles to articulate. Yet, amid the clatter of dishes and the insight gained from an unexpected conversation, Etta begins to let go of an old belief: that love must be earned to be kept.If you've ever felt responsible for everyone else's experiences, if the holidays bring both tenderness and tension, or if you simply need a moment to breathe and feel understood, this story is for you. May it provide you with more than just comfort. May it encourage you to receive love, not for what you do, but simply because you are here.Looking for more seasonal resources?

Check out my latest Masterclass:    How To Go From Sick To Superman (Masterclass)  

Thinking about reducing or stopping psychiatric medication? It may not be the right approach for everyone, but for someone considering it, there's much to keep in mind.For instance, many individuals who adopt ketogenic therapy and other metabolic strategies often find themselves in need of reducing medication. But how can they do it safely and with minimal risk?In part 2 of our 2-part series on med tapering, Dr. Bret Scher and ‪@GeorgiaEdeMD‬ dive deep into how to safely and effectively taper psychiatric medications, offering guidance, caution, and hope for those exploring this path.Tapering antidepressants, antipsychotics, or mood stabilizers can be one of the most complex challenges in mental health care and it can come with serious risks. Dr. Ede breaks down what most clinicians miss about withdrawal, and why “slow and steady” isn't just advice, it's a necessity. She also explains how strategies like ketogenic therapy and other lifestyle interventions can support brain stability during the process.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ Why individuals are looking to reduce or remove medication✅ The potential risks of not safely tapering✅ The “no sudden movements” rule and the concept of hyperbolic tapering✅ Tools and resources for safer dose reductions (compounding pharmacies, taper strips, and more)✅ How to increase your chances of feeling better with no or less medication✅ The role of metabolic health, nutrition, sleep, and stress management in effective tapering✅ What to do if your doctor is hesitant or resistant to adjusting your medication✅ Why you may want to consider avoiding supplementing during a taper

Psychiatric medications have become a standard of care for many mental illnesses. For some, these medications can be life-changing. For others, they may offer little relief, cause intolerable side effects, lose effectiveness over time, or even worsen symptoms.Regardless, many individuals eventually seek to reduce or discontinue psychiatric medication use—often without adequate support. Unfortunately, most clinicians receive limited training in how to guide patients through safe, personalized tapering protocols and the existing guidelines often fail to reflect real-world experiences.In part one of our new two-part series, Dr. Bret Scher and psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede delve into a critical yet under-discussed topic: how to taper psychiatric medications safely.In this episode, you'll learn:Why people consider tapering (side effects, loss of benefit, life changes, etc.)Why safe psychiatric medication tapering is importantHow the brain adapts to meds (homeostasis) and how that impacts taper speedWhy personalization in medication management is importantHow to tell the difference between withdrawal and a true relapseHow to prepare: education, team support, and trusted resourcesAlmost everyone will need to adjust the dose of a medication at some point, even if only to try a different medication. Some will want to try to come off psychiatric meds entirely. It's not a journey to take alone. Safe tapering is not a DIY process. We strongly encourage working with a knowledgeable healthcare provider who can help you personalize the approach, choosing the right pace, plan, and monitoring strategies to protect your health. In addition, we recommend resources below that can help.The goal isn't simply to stop a medication, it's to feel and function at your best. And the safest route is the one that's tailored to you.
