Episode 5 – Overcoming Anxiety and Depression through Spiritual Practices with Amanda Hietter
What if the pain of your past was actually the path to your purpose?
In this raw and faith-filled episode, Amanda Hietter opens up about her remarkable journey from childhood trauma, addiction, divorce, and years of spiritual disconnection—into a life of freedom, peace, and divine purpose. Through deeply vulnerable storytelling, Amanda shares how abuse at a young age distorted her sense of worth and identity, and how decades of anxiety and depression ultimately brought her to a breaking point—and a breakthrough.
Now the founder of Across the Horizon Travel, Amanda helps others heal and reconnect through spiritual retreats and transformative travel experiences. In our conversation, we explore the powerful role that spiritual practices like prayer, gratitude, and setting boundaries played in her recovery, and how trusting God—even when it doesn’t make sense—can lead to unimaginable miracles.
If you or someone you love is walking through darkness, this episode offers a powerful reminder: you are never too far gone for God’s grace to reach you.
