Your Story Has Power — with Guest Carrie DeGrandmont

In this episode of The Resilient Mother Podcast, Carrie DeGrandmont joins me for an inspiring conversation about how the hard things we live through become the very tools we use to lift and serve others.

🎙️ Season 3, Episode 29
Resilient by Choice: One Step at a Time
✨ Hosted by Catherine Tyson-Sewell
🎧 Featuring special guest: Amy Mandelj

This week on The Resilient Mother Podcast, co-host Catherine Tyson-Sewell leads us through a soul-stirring conversation with the incredibly courageous and creative Amy Mandelj.

Amy’s journey is a testament to what it means to be resilient by choice. Diagnosed with chronic illness, navigating mental health, and discovering she’s neurodivergent during COVID, Amy could have easily checked out. But instead, she made a powerful decision—to keep going, one step at a time.

💬 In this episode, you’ll hear:

[04:15] Amy’s COVID revelation—and why she couldn’t stop her mind from creating
[07:30] Life with a neurodivergent brain and what that means for purpose-driven women
[10:55] The emotional weight of medication and what motivates Amy to rise each day
[13:40] Catherine’s powerful encouragement: “If she’s moving, what excuse do we have?”
[17:20] Why thriving isn’t about perfection—it’s about intention
[21:00] Embracing rest without guilt and honoring your own version of resilience
[25:00] Choosing purpose over pity and why that choice inspires generations
This episode will remind you that your pain has purpose, and you don’t have to be fearless to be faithful to your path.

🧡 Amy’s story is your reminder:
Even on the hard days, you can choose to rise. You don’t need all the answers—just the next right step.
