Summary

 Amplify Hope Today is a raw and deeply human podcast hosted by Simon T. Bailey and Sherri Wear, two longtime friends who have navigated success, grief, divorce, entrepreneurship, faith, reinvention, and resilience side by side for more than two decades. In a world where fear is loud and uncertainty feels constant, this show explores why hope must be intentional. Through honest conversations about the topics most people avoid—loss, identity shifts, leadership under pressure, rebuilding after tragedy, trust, communication, and the courage to begin again—each episode invites listeners to expand their capacity, strengthen their resilience, and live and lead with clarity in permanent uncertainty. This is not surface-level positivity. It is a practice of choosing goodness, taking action, and becoming hopeful so you can be helpful.Amplify Hope Today Christianity Personal Development Personal Success Social Sciences Spirituality

    11. Stop Overthinking and Finally Trust Yourself with Dawn Mariotti
    May 3 2026
    Are you stuck in overthinking, self-doubt, or constantly waiting until you feel “ready” to take action?

    In this episode of Amplify Hope Today, we sit down with mindset coach and author Dawn Mariotti to break down how to trust your intuition, overcome fear, and finally move forward with confidence.

    Dawn shares her journey from struggling with learning disabilities and self-doubt to writing her books The Mindset Shift and You Already Know, and how she transformed her identity to step into the life she always dreamed of.

    In this conversation, we cover:
    • How to overcome self-doubt and stop second-guessing yourself
    • Why overthinking keeps you stuck (and how to break the cycle)
    • How to build self-trust through small daily habits
    • The truth about “feeling ready” and why action comes first
    • How to listen to your intuition and trust your gut decisions
    • Practical mindset shifts to move from fear to confidence
    If you’ve been consuming courses, information, or advice but still feel stuck… this episode will challenge you to stop preparing and start doing.

    Because clarity doesn’t come before action. It comes from it.

  • 10. Feeling Stuck? Let Go and Trust God Instead

    10. Feeling Stuck? Let Go and Trust God Instead
    Apr 26 2026
    Are you struggling to let go of control and trust God with your life?


    In this powerful episode of Amplify Hope Today, we dive into what it really means to surrender your plans, release anxiety, and trust that God’s plan is better than anything you could design yourself.

    Sherry shares how one simple mindset shift—“I only want for me what God wants for me”—completely transformed her life after loss, grief, and years of feeling stuck. Simon opens up about his own journey through disappointment, comparison, and learning to release control.

    This episode is for anyone who:
    • Feels stuck in life or unsure of their next step
    • Is battling anxiety, fear, or the need to control outcomes
    • Is walking through grief, transition, or identity shifts
    • Wants to deepen their faith and trust in God’s plan

    You’ll learn:
    • How to surrender control and trust God daily
    • Why forgiveness is essential for moving forward
    • How to identify and release what you’re holding onto
    • The connection between fear, stress, and control
    • Practical steps to experience peace, freedom, and clarity

    This conversation blends faith, personal growth, and real-life experiences to help you move from striving to surrender—and from fear to freedom.

    If you’ve ever asked, “Why isn’t my life going according to plan?”—this episode will give you a new perspective.

    9. Fix Communications Issues Before it’s too late
    Apr 19 2026
    Why do relationships fail—even when there’s no major betrayal?

    In this episode of Amplify Hope Today, we sit down with licensed psychotherapist Colette Fehr, author of The Cost of Quiet, to break down the hidden patterns that slowly destroy connection in relationships.

    We explore:
    • Why emotional disconnection is the real cause of most relationship breakdowns
    • The danger of conflict avoidance and “keeping the peace”
    • How childhood trauma and attachment styles impact communication
    • The pursuer vs. withdrawer dynamic in relationships
    • How to express your needs without causing conflict
    • The “address, share, repair” framework for healthy communication
    • Why small conversations matter more than big ones
    • How to rebuild trust, emotional safety, and intimacy
    Whether you’re navigating marriage, friendships, parenting, or leadership, this episode will give you practical tools to communicate better, resolve conflict, and build stronger relationships.
