"A human can be given all the tools to acquire freedom and still choose to use a toothpick to dig. "- Amanda Sharp
Why do we make life harder than it needs to be?
In this episode, Amanda & Christy dig into the stubborn ways we sabotage our own growth, cling to control, and let ego run the show — even when freedom is right in front of us.From personal stories of parenting, leadership, and faith, you’ll hear how pride, fear of failure (and even fear of success) can keep us stuck in old patterns. But there is another way: choosing ease, enrolling others into your vision, and trusting that God designed dreams to be lived out in community — not in isolation.
We talk about:
Why resistance multiplies when it “has to be your way”
The surprising truth about fear of success vs. fear of failureHow community, delegation, and humility unlock bigger dreams
Why not every relationship or calling has to be “grueling” to matter
The freedom of keeping your dreams and relationships private until they’re ready to flourish
This episode will challenge you to ask: Are you digging with a toothpick… or finally picking up the tools God has already placed in your hands?
