Check out these related podcast episodes here and here.

What if the secret to finding love is letting go, not holding tighter?

In this episode, I sit down with Amy Loftus, a singer-songwriter and actress turned coach who helps women break free from cultural programming and embrace their desire for marriage. She shares her own path from chasing achievement and validation to finding fulfillment in partnership and writing her book, Eve’s Second Chance.

We talk about what it means to soften, slow down, and restore receptivity. Amy opens up about praying for her husband before she met him, the role of faith and surrender in her journey, and the practical shifts that helped her move from independence to connection.

You’ll Learn:

• The hidden cost of chasing achievement, independence, and external validation
• Why shame around wanting marriage keeps so many women feeling isolated
• How prayer and surrender shifted Amy’s approach to love and partnership
• The difference between manifestation and devotion to a higher power
• Practical ways to shift from control and strategy into receptivity
• The power of language in masculine and feminine communication
• Why signaling, not pursuing, can transform the dating experience
• How equity, not equality, keeps relationships alive and balanced
• The role of seasons in aligning priorities around career, marriage, and family
