In this episode of Thriving Beyond Belief, Cheryl welcomes Amy Weinland Daughters—author, humorist, and unexpected time traveler—for a powerful and playful conversation about identity, healing, and the stories we tell ourselves.

In 2014, Amy was a 46-year-old stay-at-home mom in Dayton, Ohio, simply heading back to Houston for Thanksgiving and an estate discussion with her parents. But what happened next was anything but simple. Through an extraordinary twist, Amy is transported back to 1978 and given 36 surreal hours with her childhood family—including her 10-year-old self. What unfolds is a funny, emotional, and deeply reflective journey where old wounds resurface, perspectives shift, and healing begins.

Together with Cheryl, Amy opens up about how reliving her past brought new clarity to difficult family relationships and reshaped her understanding of self-worth, memory, and forgiveness. They discuss how humor and honesty go hand-in-hand in transformation—and how even the wildest detours can lead us to the truth we need most.

Amy’s background includes a Business degree from Texas Tech, a decade in corporate purchasing, and a leap into writing while living in England. She’s now the author of Dear Dana and You Cannot Mess This Up, two books that explore connection, identity, and the hilarity of being human.

This conversation is a reminder that your story matters—no matter how messy, magical, or unexpected it may be.

Lost Art of Resting—- I explore the essential yet often overlooked practice of resting, a cornerstone of thriving in all facets of life. Through personal reflection and experiences, I emphasize the multi-dimensional aspects of rest—spiritual, emotional, and physical—that together, support a vibrant and fulfilling existence.

  • Spiritual Rest: I delve into the importance of reconnecting with one’s spiritual roots to find peace and direction. I share how moments of solitude, prayer, and meditation not only rejuvenate the spirit but also fortify us against life’s tumults. It’s about creating spaces to listen and respond to what God might be whispering to our hearts.
  • Emotional Rest: Here, I discuss the necessity of emotional boundaries to maintain balance and health. I talk about the power of saying no and the freedom found in prioritizing personal mental health. Through practices like journaling and engaging in meaningful conversations, I’ve found ways to declutter my emotional world, making room for more authentic joy and less imposed stress.
  • Physical Rest: I emphasize how vital it is to respect our bodies through restorative practices. Whether it’s committing to regular sleep schedules, integrating gentle exercises like yoga, or simply taking time to breathe deeply, I highlight the importance of listening to our physical needs and responding with kindness and care.
  • Integrating Rest into Everyday Life: I conclude the chapter with practical strategies for incorporating rest into a bustling lifestyle. I share how small pockets of rest can be seamlessly woven into the fabric of our daily routines, enhancing overall well-being without compromising our commitments and productivity.

The Lost Art of Thinking – Chapter 3

Thriving Beyond Belief: Courageous, Rooted, Thriving Women Paperback – October 26, 2022

by Cheryl Scruggs (Author)

Today’s episode – The Lost Art of Thinking

You can thrive and live an abundant life in every area and in every season. You can practice the lost arts of being a vibrant human being. And you can be energized and enjoy more of what matters most spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally, and relationally.

The closer a courageous, rooted, and thriving woman gets to realizing her life’s purpose, the more she understands that abundant living is nothing like what she once thought it was. It’s not perfect circumstances; it’s perfect peace within those circumstances. Thriving Beyond Belief gives women practical tools to improve every relationship they have by doing the hard work of knowing “the real you” and learning to be vulnerable. Deep satisfaction comes from women knowing who they are, overcoming their fears, facing the difficult stuff of life, and making lasting change. And it all starts with the journey of knowing and understanding who God made them to be.

No matter where you’ve come from, what you’ve experienced in the past, or the mistakes you’ve made—you can learn to thrive the rest of your life. This book shows you how.
