Episode #52 When Everything Falls Apart: The Hidden Gift Inside Your Hardest Season

What do you do when life makes absolutely no sense—when everything you’ve tried fails, the universe goes silent, and you feel completely alone? In this raw and powerful conversation, I sit down with Amanda Graham—comedy writer, public speaker, and irreverent author—who spent 11 years in what she calls “The Wilderness.” A season of isolation, loss, and unanswered prayers that nearly broke her… until she learned how to find the dots that connect struggle to purpose. This episode will light a fire under you if you’ve ever thought: “Why isn’t this working? Why me? What now?” You’ll hear: 🌲 What the “Wilderness” really is—and why almost everyone faces it 🧩 How to recognize the “dots” that make sense of your hardest seasons 🙏 The surprising shift Amanda made when prayers seemed to go unanswered 💌 The small, simple practice that created life-changing connection (yes, it involves Post-its!) 🚪 How to ask for help the right way (and why most of us do it wrong) 🔥 Why rejection is actually your doorway to redirection If you’ve been waiting for a sign that things can turn around—this conversation is it. 👉 Connect with Amanda at itsamandagraham.com  and on Instagram @minefieldness
