Hey, I’m Amy Davis.
Ministry Wife, Mountain Mama of 3, Creator, Artist and Certified CBT Life Coach!
I have spent the past 25 years in full-time ministry, helping women of all ages connect deeper with God!
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed in the chaotic, busy seasons of life.
When I stopped homeschooling after 13 years, I expected more time to slow down and figure out what was next for me, but instead, life sped up! Quickly my time was filled with errands, impromptu lunches, random house projects, volunteer work and more.
I was busy with good things, but they kept me from really seeking what God had for me next. Maybe you’ve been there too—wondering what’s next, feeling like time is slipping away without real purpose...
Then, I learned how to set goals and create habits that helped build confidence. I learned how to renew my mind and reset my emotions, God’s way. When I started taking actions to balance every area of my life, I discovered so much more of God's love for me, and it has changed my life!
Now, I share simple strategies that help women in midlife get consistent in pursuing God, discover their purpose to serve others.
If you’re ready to create habits that bring joy, deepen your faith, and help you step into God’s plan with confidence, you’re in the right place.
It is time to generate joy in midlife, my friend!
So, reheat your lukewarm coffee, grab a notebook and pen, and let's dive in!

5 | How I Got Joy Wrong For Years
Generate Joy In Midlife | Simple Habits For Spiritual Growth | Women, Growth mindset, Faith, Biblical Encouragement, Identity, Healthy Relationships
07/02/23 • 21 min
In this episode I am sharing all about how I got joy wrong for years! Yes, it has been super humbling and raw sharing my failures to you - but I believe it is so important to shine the light on these actions I have taken, because I talk to women every week who are taking these same actions trying to produce joy in their own lives... and it does not work!
We all want to be more joyful, more confident, more content, more satisfied with the life we have been given... but sometimes we think we do not know what steps to take to experience these things in our lives.
🤦♀️ No, I have not figured it all out, but I do know what is NOT working...
And guess what? 💡All is not lost! The Lord has a plan, a process, a purpose for you... He who began a good work in you (and me) will be faithful to complete it... to JOYFULLY complete it! He loves you!
If you have been trying to create joy from your own strength - this episode is for you!
