Navigating Holiday Gatherings Without Food Guilt (Outweigh) Nov 16, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Welcome to the first part of our holiday series on Outweigh, where Amy and Leanne tackle a challenge that many listeners face during this festive season: navigating holiday gatherings without the burden of food guilt.

As the holidays approach, the temptation of indulgent foods can lead to feelings of being "out of control." We dive deep into understanding the roots of food guilt, often stemming from black-and-white thinking and the typical dieting culture that surrounds us. We'll explore how this "all-or-nothing" mentality not only perpetuates guilt but also fuels a cycle of overeating followed by restriction.

We talk about the importance of shifting from a 'scarcity' mindset—where indulgence feels like a last chance—to an 'abundance' mindset that fosters a healthier relationship with food. And we will share practical strategies and real-life examples from clients' journeys to illustrate this shift, making the holidays a time for celebration rather than guilt.

How This Female Pastor Ditched The Shame & Finally Addressed Her Biggest "Demons" (Outweigh) Nov 09, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Deedee has spent decades as a leader and source of strength in her community, supporting and guiding others while struggling silently behind closed doors. Her battle wasn’t with her role or her responsibilities—it was with food.

For years, food felt like her secret demon—something she couldn’t seem to conquer, no matter how much discipline she tried to muster. Despite her outward success and commitment to helping others, food had a grip on her life that left her feeling ashamed, defeated, and isolated.

Even though she was always giving so much of herself to others, she felt empty and disconnected when it came to her own health and relationship with food. It was a struggle she felt she had to face alone, with no one to confide in. But everything changed when Deedee finally made the choice to confront her relationship with food at its root. She realized that it wasn’t just about dieting or controlling her willpower—it was about healing the emotional wounds and unraveling the stories that were keeping her stuck.

In this episode, Deedee shares her powerful transformation journey of breaking free from the grip of food and reclaiming control of her life. If you’ve ever felt like no one would understand your struggles, or like food has a power over you that you can’t break free from, Deedee’s story is a reminder that true freedom is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

If Positive Mantras Feel Like a Lie, Here’s What You’re Missing (Outweigh) Nov 02, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever stood in front of the mirror, repeating mantras like “I love my body” or “I’m enough,” only to feel that little voice in your head whispering, “Who are you kidding?” In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne Ellington breaks down why the “just think positive” approach doesn’t work—and what’s really keeping you from truly loving yourself.

Leanne gets real about her own struggles—how she grew up battling food and body shame, even after losing nearly 100 pounds, and why it took more than weight loss to break free. She explains why so many women get stuck feeling like self-love and positivity are unattainable, and how those feel-good mantras can actually make you feel worse when your brain doesn’t buy into them.

So what’s missing? It’s the brain wiring beneath the surface that no amount of mantras or affirmations can fix. Leanne shares how negative beliefs and self-criticism get hardwired into your brain and create resistance—leading you to feel like a fraud. And why jumping straight to self-love can backfire if you haven’t addressed those deeper stories and beliefs that are running the show.

5 Things You Should Never Rush + Kat’s Protein Ball Recipe (5th Thing) Oct 29, 2024

Do you trust people too quickly? That is something not to rush for sure. Amy & Kat go over 5 things in life you do NOT need to rush. Amy also shares 5 ways to co-regulate with an animal (sounds odd…but it can actually be very helpful if you’re dysregulated!) They also go over what you feel like when you’re regulated vs. what you feel like when dysregulated.

Today’s Quote:

“Just had to quit my job so I would have enough time to make sure I was eating enough protein.” - Simon C. Holland

Kat’s Protein Balls:

1 cup of old fashioned oats

1 cup of quick cooking oats

¾ cup of honey

1 cup of peanut butter

2-3 scoops of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla preferably)

Chocolate semi-sweet chips to your liking (measure with love….maybe ½ cup)

2 tbsp of ground flax seed

Mix everything in a bowl. Mash up with your hands until it’s all sticking together and roll into balls. Amy thinks sprinkling a little sea salt on top of each ball would be a yummy touch.

"No One Knows I Have A Problem" (Outweigh) Oct 26, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever felt like you’re carrying a heavy secret—one that no one knows about? In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne Ellington dives deep into the struggle that so many women face but rarely talk about: feeling trapped in a hidden battle with food, body shame, and self-judgment.

Leanne opens up about her own experience of being stuck in a “food and body prison” while presenting a happy face to the world. She breaks down how shame isolates us, making us feel broken, and why this isn’t just about food or weight—it’s about the stories we tell ourselves and the shame we carry silently.

Through real-life examples of her clients’ struggles—like the superwoman hiding her midnight binges or the woman avoiding social events out of fear of being judged—Leanne explains why no diet, workout plan, or mantra will break this cycle. The solution isn’t another diet or exercise routine. It’s healing your self-image and rewiring the relationship you have with yourself.

If you’ve ever felt like food struggles were your “dirty little secret” and wondered why you can’t just “get it together,” this episode is for you. Leanne shows how breaking free isn’t about more willpower—it’s about breaking out of the shame prison and reclaiming your sense of self-worth.

Breaking the Cycle of Broken Promises: Reclaiming Your Self-Trust (Outweigh) Oct 19, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever found yourself making promise after promise to “start fresh on Monday” or “stick to your plan this time,” only to fall off track again and again? If so, you’re not alone—and today’s episode of Outweigh is for you. In this powerful episode, Leanne Ellington tackles the struggle that so many women face: breaking the cycle of broken promises and learning how to rebuild self-trust.

Leanne opens up about her own journey and explains how every broken promise and failed diet creates memories that get locked into your brain, forming a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure and eroding your trust in yourself. This cycle isn’t just about food or exercise—it’s about the emotional weight you carry when you feel like you can’t follow through.

Tune in as Leanne shares why typical diet and fitness plans fall short: they address the surface-level symptoms but not the root cause—your brain’s wiring and self-image. It’s not about “fixing” yourself—it’s about transforming your self-image and rewiring your brain for sustainable success and self-trust.

The Brain Science of Sugar Cravings (And How to Reclaim Control) (Outweigh) Oct 12, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Ever felt like a sugar addict? Like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to break free from its grip? In today’s episode, Leanne Ellington dives deep into the brain science behind those relentless sugar cravings and why it’s not about willpower or discipline. She shares her own struggle with food and body image—starting from a childhood weighed down by diet culture—and the truth she discovered along the way: that sugar cravings aren’t about the food at all-- they are about the BRAIN.

Leanne explains how our brains get wired to seek out quick fixes like sugar, social media, or Netflix to soothe emotional discomfort and why these “quick hits” of dopamine leave us feeling overfed but still emotionally and mentally undernourished. This episode will change how you view your cravings and help you understand what your brain really wants (hint: it’s not more sugar!).

Leanne also offers practical tips to rewire your brain and stop the cycle of cravings for good, starting with recognizing your true emotional needs and finding healthier ways to meet them. If you’ve ever felt controlled by food or like you’re stuck in a cycle of restriction, bingeing, and guilt—this episode is for you.

Trapped in Diet Prison for 4 Decades: How This Therapist Found Freedom at 54 (Outweigh) Oct 05, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Susan had been living in a 40-year food and diet prison, and she didn't know how to get out.

Diets eluded her, and even though she had hope that there was a better way to go about her relationship with food, her body, and her health, she was almost at that point that she felt helpless.

Food and her body was a topic that carried a lot of shame and guilt. And she had almost completely convinced herself that this was "just the way things were going to be".

Her relationship with herself and those around her was suffering which added another level of guilt caused by not showing up as the woman, wife, mom, and therapist that she knew wanted to be.

Feeling she had tried everything under the sun, Susan scheduled a call with me and took a leap of faith to finally commit to herself.

Accepting that the road to peace, love and happiness with herself was a long term game, she began taking steps toward healing her body & mind and reclaiming her life-- not committing to another diet.

And as you'll learn, it's never too late!
In this interview she shares how her 54-year old therapist self got her life back, took back her power, and broke free from a 40-year food and dieting PRISON!

A Life-Changing Diagnosis, the Importance of Early Detection, & Living Life Fully with Amy Robach Oct 03, 2024

Amy’s guest today is renowned TV reporter, Amy Robach. It’s powerful to hear how an unwanted career change led to a segment on Good Morning America that changed Amy's life forever. Actually, it didn’t just change her life…it saved it! You’ll also hear the important (behind the scenes roll) that Robin Roberts played in that part of her story.

Amy's story is impactful any time of the year, but especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we're grateful for her willingness to share so that others feel encouraged and that nobody ever feels alone. Amy & Amy discuss:

- The power of NOW & acceptance

- The importance of open conversations about breast cancer

- Emotional challenges women face when making treatment decisions

- Being your own advocate

- Support systems (the role of family & friends)

- How early detection is EVERYTHING!!

- How cancer changes your POV on every aspect of life

- Resilience & growth

Amy Robach is co-host of the podcast “Amy & TJ” alongside her partner T.J. Holmes (both television news anchors!) Following a live mammogram on "Good Morning America" to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Robach, then 40, received a phone call several weeks later, in Oct. 2013, telling her she had stage 2 invasive breast cancer. Very soon after her diagnosis, Robach underwent a double mastectomy, followed by eight rounds of chemotherapy and then breast reconstruction surgery. She has been candid about the challenges of breast cancer treatment, and equally passionate about the importance of early detection and community building for others.

Listener Q&A: The Truth About Orthorexia (Outweigh) Sep 28, 2024

OUTWEIGH: In this final episode of the Outweigh Q&A series, we’re diving into a listener question about Orthorexia. While pretty much everyone knows what an Eating Disorder is, most have never even heard of this thing called Disordered Eating. An even lesser known (and talked about) form of Disordered Eating is something called Orthorexia.
Orthorexia is when someone takes their health to an extreme, and they inhabit an excessive preoccupation or obsession with eating healthy food. According to The National Eating Disorders Association Orthorexia entails: Obsessive focus on food choices, food regarded primarily as source of health rather than pleasure; distress or disgust when in proximity to prohibited foods; periodic shifts in dietary beliefs; moral judgment of others based on their dietary choices; body image distortion; persistent belief that dietary practices are health-promoting despite evidence of experiencing malnutrition...and the list goes on, and on, and on.
And because of all of the misinformation that's being thrown at us, Orthorexia is spreading like a wildfire -- ESPECIALLY in the female population. The EFFECT of all of this? An extremely DISORDERED relationship with food. And if you're like most women out there, you've been exposed to the 'Dark Side' of the health industry for a very long time, and it's super important that you know what to look out for to make sure that YOUR health journey....stays....healthy!
Listen in to an interview with Leanne and Laura Lea Bryant where they unpack this super-important topic (and Laura Lea shares her personal experiences....and her experience as an influencer in the health and wellness world).

She wraps up with strategies to overcome it and sends encouragement to loved ones of someone with ADHD.

You Can Be Glad a Relationship Is Over & Miss the Person Deeply (5th Thing) Sep 24, 2024

Amy & Kat start off with levity by sharing the last texts that made them laugh. However, Kat's text is about something that really hurt her feelings. What she shares is an important reminder of what NOT to say to a woman, but at least she can laugh about it now. Amy practices a line she is working on that may help her get certain needs met...and it might work for you...it's a good line for sure. They also read & discuss a couple of listener emails: one about ending a friendship & another about a weird food combo that is so yummy for fall. Other topics: Reese Witherspoon wearing Sneax (does she really like these shoes??), the word of the week, and here's the list of things that can be true at the same time that Amy shares:

- You can love your parents AND acknowledge the ways they hurt you.
- You can set boundaries AND still be a good employee
- You can be glad a relationship is over AND still miss the person deeply
- You can prioritize rest AND still be successful
- You can need emotional support AND still be a strong person

Are Skinny Jeans Really Back In Style? (5th Thing) Sep 17, 2024

Amy & Kat say wear whatever makes you feel good and also if you like to keep up with trends...word has it skinny jeans are back for fall 2024. Need tips regarding skinny jeans + boots to stay more current this season?? Amy & Kat have you covered...as they've been researching for themselves. They also talk about friendships (per today's awesome quote + Amy tried to convince Kat to watch Emily in Paris), they discover a 'word of the week' while going over styling tips for boots with jeans, they share who to follow on IG for fashion inspo/help & more!

Today's Quote:

“The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve understood how truly important it is to have, not necessarily a big group, but a group that makes you feel big. And I have met some of those amazing women – and also men – that make me feel like the biggest version of myself in the last five years. I always thought that you had to have friends for decades in order to understand you and to stand up for you. And I've learned that when it is that you know who you are as a person and as a woman, and to be able to see that in other people, and encourage them to be the best versions of themselves, and the strongest versions of themselves, they in turn do the same for me.” – Lily Collins (Actress from Emily in Paris)

Fashion tips mentioned are from @bestyledco_...check out their page for all kinds of helpful content....Amy & Kat were watching all of their style tips...they also like @nextdoorlife & @velvetsedge for outfit ideas.

Hope you enjoy and have the day you need to have!

Defining Love, Spotting the Soulless, Secret Crushes, and Unusual Food Pairings Sep 12, 2024

It's an OG style 4 Things episode with Therapy Kat!

First Thing: Amy and Kat explore what ChatGPT would define as the five key qualities of a perfect romantic relationship, imagining how it might answer if it were a relationship expert. Does the internet really know romance though??

Second Thing: Narcissist and Sociopath get thrown around a lot, but what about the real important question: How do you spot someone with no soul? No emotions and no guilt are just a few things to look out for!

Third Thing: Amy is finally ready to talk about her dating life....on Monday's episode of Kat's podcast, You Need Therapy. But that doesn't mean they can't talk a little about it here! They go over 27 signs (or maybe just a few from this list) that a guy may like you as more than just a friend, sharing tips on how to read between the lines. And just like this past Tuesday's 5th Thing episode, there may be another surprise phone call in this 'Thing'!

Fourth Thing: Amy and Kat wrap up with a few weird food combinations that they have heard about or tried. Since producer and editor Houston is typing this, his two favorites (that are not mentioned in this) are a waffle with cottage cheese, add a little salt and pepper and enjoy OR two cooked eggs, folded into an omelette style shape, put some peanut butter on top after it's cooked, and get your entire daily dose of protein in one go!

Your Brain’s Response to Trauma: Finding Strength & Gratitude with Dr. Lee Warren Sep 05, 2024

Did you know that we have 30,000 - 40,000 thoughts per day & most of them are not true? They're made up of a host of chemical signals that we interpret as feelings, which you make meaning out of, based on your past experiences. Amy's guest Dr. Lee Warren (neurosurgeon, veteran & author) is on to discuss our thoughts, our brain's response to trauma & how finding solid ground during a time of suffering is imperative for our brain + overall well being.

Dr. Lee shares his personal journey with the sudden death of his son and how he maintained hope during this season by leaning into his faith + creating positive-thinking neural pathways. Dr. Lee reminds us that two things can be true at the same time...it's not ok when you lose someone you love, but at the same time it is true that you can be happy, connect with new people, and become a more compassionate person.

We love Dr. Lee's 'biopsy your thoughts' exercise...after you have an upsetting thought, ask yourself: “Is this really true?” And then remind yourself, “not everyone in my life is going to do this to me.” By doing this, you put an executive decision in between the stimulus and the response. This will reliably produce better outcomes for you than if you just react to whatever you think or feel.

Lastly, Dr. Lee and Amy talk about why gratitude is so important for the health of your brain and how it is actually the BEST way to combat anxiety. He also shares 4 things he is currently grateful for.

Books Dr. Lee Warren Has Written:

- Hope is the First Dose: A Treatment Plan for Recovering from Trauma, Tragedy, and Other Massive Things HERE

- A Peek Under the Hood: A Brain Surgeon Looks at Life HERE

- and many more! Find them all HERE!

What's God Got To Do With It? The Ultimate Health Strategy Fusing Faith and Science (Outweigh) Aug 24, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 6 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the game plan for success—how to carve out your own winning strategy, while also addressing a crucial piece of the puzzle: earning back your own trust.

You see, even if you had the perfect plan and the most ideal steps laid out, what good would it do if you couldn’t trust yourself to follow through? That’s why we dive deep into earning back your own trust so you can live in alignment and integrity WHILE you go after your health goals.

We often think the alternative to dieting is losing control, but the true alternative is freedom—freedom to nourish your body and soul, to wave the white flag, and declare peace. This episode is about shifting from the mindset of restriction and "repair" to one of healing and "care". We’ll explore how to truly partner with your body and align your mind and heart to create a sustainable, peaceful life. We’ll also tackle those sneaky “Never-Gonna” inner voices that sabotage your success before you even begin. Together, we’ll reframe your approach so that you can build self-trust, stop the self-sabotage, and finally play a game that’s designed for you to win.

HOST: Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com // @leanneellington

What's God Got To Do With It? The Faith-Science Body Image Connection (Outweigh) Aug 17, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 5 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.

This week we’re diving deep into a crucial part of the food and body image conversation—what Leanne likes to call your “body brain.”

If you’ve been following along, you know we’ve been exploring how faith intersects with our struggles around food and self image. Today, we’re turning our focus to the physical side of things, and how your body (and your perception of it) are deeply intertwined.
We’ll be looking at this from both a nervous system and physiological perspective, but we can’t ignore the importance of how you view your body and your relationship with it.
This episode isn’t about offering a quick fix; it’s about helping you understand the deeper layers that contribute to your struggles.

Leanne also shares her personal journey of overcoming her own body image (and chronic pain) battles, so you can see that real, lasting change is possible...but it starts with breaking the chains of your own harsh self-criticism, guilt, and shame.

The hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll feel empowered to start dismantling your own beliefs and step into a new story about your body. Remember, this isn’t just about what you weigh or how you look—it’s about freeing yourself from the heavy burden of judgment and stepping into a place of peace and self-compassion.

Manage Chaos & Unleash Joy + Kat's Narcissistic Trait (5th Thing) Aug 13, 2024

Such a fun chat! Amy & Kat have a special guest...Amanda Rieger Green (Amy's psychic cousin!) Conversation starts around today's quote which is from Alissa Boyer: “You can be the nicest, kindest person, and you still may be the villain in someone else’s story. Have you ever had to deal with someone thinking you're a villain when really you just needed to set a boundary? They touch on how to handle this!

Amy reads a special email from a listener named Susan from Austin and she's also written a really cool book that you may need in your life: Art for Your Sanity— How Art Journaling Can Help You Manage Chaos and Unleash Joy (she wrote this book after hearing Ally Fallon on the podcast...which is so special!!)

Do you have good work boundaries? (i.e. not working at certain times or sending emails during work hours) They each share how they've implemented different rules around when they will send work notes to people....and it's stuff that could be a gamechanger for all!

What's God Got To Do With It? Your 'Food Brain' & Healing the Battle Within (Outweigh) Aug 10, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 4 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.
If you’ve been struggling with disordered eating patterns, restrictive diets, or feeling chained to unhealthy eating habits, this conversation is for you. We talk about how inviting God into your journey can help break those chains, allowing you to step into a new identity rooted in peace, love, and TRUE freedom.
We explore the concept of the "food brain" and how it’s wired to seek comfort and connection through unhealthy coping mechanisms like overeating, mindless scrolling, or other habits that distract from what your soul truly needs.
This episode isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level solutions; it's about understanding the root of your struggles and learning to meet them with compassion, solution-focused care, and faith.
If you’re ready to shift your focus from fighting with your body to truly healing your relationship with food, this conversation will guide you toward that transformation, with God right by your side.

Kat also tells us about "frownies" (wrinkle patches - are they legit or snake oil??) and Amy shares a list of healthy ways to lose track of time (Kat's new hobby lands on this list & we learn that Kat went on a potentially dangerous first date with a guy - before she met Big P, of course!)

What's God Got To Do With It? Reinventing Your Self-Image For 3-Dimensional Health (Outweigh) Aug 03, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 3 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.
Last week, we explored the big picture of this conversation, and this week we narrow the focus to the self-image and identity piece of this food and body puzzle. We discuss the necessity of stepping into a new version of yourself if you really want to achieve true health and freedom in your relationship with food and your body.
We talk about WHY transforming your self-image is crucial on a neuroscience level, and how it's not about what you eat-- but who you truly believe yourself to be.
Only this time around, you're invited to address the roots of your identity and self-image in a way that aligns with God's view of yourself, instead of worldly and societal standards.
And of course, we get a little 'geeky' and explore the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), and its significant role in self-perception, emotional and physical pain, and your coping mechanisms, AND how this is particularly important for women, whose ACCs are more active than men's. Throughout the episode, you'll hear scripture AND evidence-based research that supports the transformative power of faith.
Dive on in to learn how integrating faith and science can lead to building YOUR new identity, free from the burdens of shame and self-rejection, and discover what it truly means to see yourself as God sees you.

What's God Got To Do With It? Connecting the Dots: Science, Faith, Food, and Body Love (Outweigh) Jul 27, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Welcome back for Part 2 of the official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.

Today, we're diving deep into the intersection of faith, science, food, and body image. This is the big picture conversation -- where these themes overlap, so you can simply understand this connection between neuroscience and faith...and how it can lead to meaningful, lasting transformation in our lives.

Leanne shares (for her) how embracing this dialogue meant confronting her skeptical, science-driven mindset and inviting a God-centered perspective into areas she was previously tackling through her own might, and how this approach completed her story and aligned with her fascination with the brain and nervous system.

She addresses topics like: Why do our brains play tricks on us? Why do we do what we do? Why can't we seem to shake life-long habits?

With references to biblical scripture and modern neuroscience studies, Leanne highlights the transformative power of aligning your thoughts with a higher spiritual perspective.

And of course you are invited to invite God into the conversation, recognizing that true transformation involves cultivating a new identity rooted in faith and understanding the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit...and self-image.

From fun recommendations to vulnerable journal entries, Amy & Kat talk about all kinds of things! Amy found a journal documenting her first 8 days of being a mom when her kids arrived from Haiti and, well, after reading through them, she realized her experience was far more difficult than she recalls (case in point: the quote in the title of this episode about the desire to rip a face off...yep THAT is something Amy said to her then husband, Ben, at the time!) Kat shares with us a psychological phenomenon called rosy retrospection which is remembering something more positively than it was actually experienced. That was clearly a tough season for Amy...that led to some laughs with Kat during this episode. They also do a little show & tell sharing some items/things they've been into lately (see links below for some stuff mentioned!) + remember per Kat's things: cross the simple things off your list & if at first you don't succeed.....paint the canvas white and try again!

What's God Got To Do With It? A Woman's Guide To Food & Body Freedom (Outweigh) Jul 20, 2024

OUTWEIGH: We are so excited to bring you the first official crossover series of the "What’s God Got To Do With It?" and Outweigh podcasts.

If you have been listening to Outweigh, you know that THAT podcast is all about helping women break themselves out of the food and body prison, end the dieting madness, and take control of their health for good, but without all that restriction, obsession, and shame…and without dragging it out for years to address it.
And if you’ve been listening to "What’s God Got To Do With It?", you know that it's all about the fusion of where science meets Faith and where faith meets transformation and miracles.

So this crossover series is a beautiful opportunity to talk about the crossover of where science meets food…& body image… & self image struggles…AND where THAT intersects FAITH (or what’s God got to do with allll of that?)
And that’s exactly what this 6 part series is all about:
Part 1 is an introduction and setting up this massive topic.
Part 2 is all about the big picture of where faith meets science meets food & body image.
Part 3 goes deep into the self image and identity that you need to actually step into the version of you that would have THAT health, that would have THAT relationship with food and her body, who would actually be at peace and feel free….…and of course how that fuses with this faith-brain conversation.
Part 4 dives deeper into What God has to do with (what Leanne calls) your ‘food brain’ and disordered eating patterns, and filling voids in your head, heart, and spirit with food (or whatever your drug of choice is)…and it’s a hole that will never be filled by those things.
Part 5 dives into the complicated relationship that women have with their bodies and their body image (and physical pain – a topic often avoided), and how to heal all of that from a faith-meets-science perspective.... AND invite God into the conversation.
And then wrapping it up in part 6, we get into the strategy side of things. As in, what does it look like to use what you’ve learned about neuroscience and faith and healing your relationship with food and your body image to go create a winning game plan that sets you up to win AND one that your brain just learns so you can go live your life, food can be food, and you can feel comfortable in your skin and free from the chains of restricting or punishing your body.
So let’s dive in! Enjoy Part 1.

Are You ‘The Girl Who Cried Wolf? (Here’s What’s REALLY Causing Self-Sabotage) (Outweigh) Jul 06, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever gone to start a new plan or program, and on the surface you’re gung- ho — ready to take it by the reins, deeply committed, and hoping (praying!) that this time really IS different — that this will be ‘the thing’ that changes everything for you… but secretly in the back of your mind, you’re WAITING for it to fail?

Perhaps you’re even outright EXPECTING it to fail, because you know in your heart-of-hearts that even though the plan or the program itself might be different…you know deep down that YOU haven’t changed — that you haven’t gotten your mind, your head, your brain, and your heart aligned in a way that WOULD cause things to be different?

I see this happening ALL the time. Heck, it's exactly how I used to feel each time I started out some new plan or method that (eventually) I just STOPPED talking about it or telling anyone altogether. And in this episode of Outweigh we are going to talk about why this REALLY happens, how to earn back your own trust, and how to never become the "Girl Who Cried Wolf" ever again.

The Best Way to Find Yourself Jul 04, 2024

Do you ever ask yourself: “How can I serve today?” One of the simplest ways to get to your highest self (and out of ego) is to serve others. Leanne Ellington joins Amy for this chat and they each share how they have been selfish in the past (and sometimes still can be!) but they both now very much strive for and strongly align with this affirmation: “I am here to be truly helpful.” The desire to give (and not get) puts us in an awesome energetic state that leaves us feeling more full and in tune with who we truly are!

Amy shares 4 quotes about service that offer solid encouragement as you look for ways to serve others:

- “I start every day by wanting more for others than I do for myself. I think that is how God works, and that is how I think we have to work.” - Wayne Dyer

- “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” - Mahatma Gandhi

- “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” - Muhammad Ali

- “Our prayers for others flow more easily than those for ourselves. This shows we are made to live by charity.” - C. S. Lewis

A Bittersweet Approach to Life & Living Without Regret Jun 13, 2024

Amy’s niece, Adelyn, joins again (ep. 2 of 4) and this time they’re talking about the bittersweet parts of life + living without regret + chasing your dreams + PIMPINJOY (spreading joy to others!) This chat is 2 of 4 that will happen this month and we love having Adelyn’s perspective on life.

Adelyn shares her experience of feeling both the bitterness of her losing her grandma (AKA: Marmie / Amy’s mom) to cancer and the sweetness of the impact and legacy that lives on through PIMPINJOY! Marmie also inspired a research paper Adelyn did this last semester on living without regret because something Marmie realized as she was dying, sadly, was that she didn’t chase her dreams….she didn’t even really let herself dream.

Patriotic PIMPINJOY line launches today! Check it out HERE…everything turned out so cute!!! The Bobby Bones Show partners with Building Homes for Heroes every year to help build a veteran a home. ALL proceeds are donated. Shout out Bobby’s wife, Caitlin, for this year’s designs & The Shop Forward for helping make it all possible. It's all perfect for the 4th of July!

The book that has the quiz Adelyn shares is called Bittersweet: How sorrow and longing make us whole by Susan Cain.

Cultivating Connection One Cheese Toast At a Time Jun 06, 2024

Amy has a goal of creating a home that is full of people & connection...where kids & friends always feel welcome. Her niece, Adelyn, joins her for this chat...sharing her experience growing up in a home that was the 'hangout house' and how her parents are very intentional about cultivating a home that is inviting...where people/teens/friends/family feel welcome even when things aren't perfect!

Key Takeaways:

- Listen to Crowded Table by The Highwomen.

- Don't overthink it.

- Relax about stuff that doesn't matter in the big picture.

- Always have a few extra stools to add to the table.

- Be involved, curious, ask questions.

- Serving both sides of the counter!

- Root For Each Other (shout out Root House!)

- No matter what, be welcoming.

- Offer rides.

- Let them make the dang 'smash cake.'

- Have food on hand and a place where people feel like they can hang out....and it doesn't have to be fancy...HELLO CHEESE TOAST!

- Think: sausage on the grill, queso in a crock pot & pre-made cookie dough in the oven with a game of corn-hole and everyone around the fire pit. Keep it simple.

- 4 Things Gratitude.

Adelyn is staying with Amy over the summer to complete an internship for her business degree at CU Boulder, so she'll actually be doing 4 episodes with Amy over the month of June talking about various topics!

At the End of Your Rope? Don't Give Up, What Is Coming is Better Than What Is Gone May 30, 2024

Last week we had Walker Hayes on for the 3rd time and this week we have Steven Young back for a 3rd time.

The theme of today's episode was a surprise to Steven and it's truly special hearing him share in this way (through 4 different poems/stories....a gift of his that Amy wanted to highlight) and the discussions of hope + healing that follow each one. The 4 poems/stories are linked below if you want to reference later or share with others:

1- May 1st, What Was Almost the Beginning of the End

2- 68 Years of Yesterdays

3- When the Petals Die...

4- That Still Small Voice
Amy & Steven also talk about ways you can support our homeless friends during the summer months or any time of year for that matter. One of the ways won't cost you a penny. :)

We All Eat Lies When Our Hearts Are Hungry (5th Thing) May 14, 2024

A listener named Val sent us a great email full of amazing quotes that guided Amy's chat with Kat for this episode. Val divided them into 2 categories: serious & funny...we appreciate both (they're all listed below) and in addition to the quotes Kat played a round of "Make It Or Break It" with Amy (to see what she's down with when it comes to dating!)

SERIOUS:

- The tighter we cling to an identity, the harder it becomes to grow beyond it.

- I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be

- You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy.

- Buy less, choose well.

- We all eat lies when our hearts are hungry

- Just because you don't look like somebody who you think is attractive doesn't mean you aren't attractive. Flowers are pretty, but so are Christmas lights and they look nothing alike.

- Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married or own a house as if life was some kind of grocery list. But no one ever asks if you are happy.
FUNNY:

- I've moved past having a depressive episode. I am actually having a depressive series. Season 8 available now.

- I'm not a licensed interior designer but I just figured out you can make a room look 30% bigger if you put away the 14 loads of laundry on the floor.

- Neighbor said hi again...I'm just gonna move.

- Lucky for me, I don't have enough friends for an intervention

- I don't understand your specific kind of crazy, but I do admire your total commitment to it.

- My room is not dirty. I just have everything on display...like a museum.

- Some of you youths are going to be really disappointed when you discover that turning

- 30 just means that you still have all the same weird interests but you can't turn your head all the way to the left anymore.

- Hey, sorry for being so anxious earlier, I had no idea that everything would be fine.

- I keep telling people that a vanilla soy latte is technically a three bean soup, but nobody understands. They just nod and smile like I'M the crazy one.

- I found out why I'm still single. Apparently, you have to go outside and let people see you.

Binge-Free Brain Part 4: It's Not Just in Your Head! Understanding the Physical Effects of Emotional Pain (Outweigh) May 11, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for Part 4 of Binge-Free Brain where they explore the mind-blowing connection between emotional and physical pain. Did you know a key area of your brain, the ACC, houses a large number of receptors for both? This means emotional hurt can literally feel like physical pain, which can trigger us to seek comfort in food. We'll delve deeper into the concept of "sensory mismatch" and how it relates to fibromyalgia and other conditions.

How to Better Understand Yourself May 09, 2024

Amy starts off with '4 Things Gratitude' sharing with you 4 things she's currently thankful for & hopefully through her gratitude you'll learn about some things to check out & then she shares some words of wisdom from Ally Fallon that will lead living life with more purpose & confidence.

FIRST THING: She's selling her house & here's the YouTube video she references "Declutter Your Home: The Ultimate Guide to Selling Fast | How to Get Rid of Your Stuff." (this is helpful for anyone...not just if you're selling your home!)

SECOND THING: Amy changed the energy of her home to an 8. What does that mean?? Well, read this Address Numerology blog that Amanda wrote and listen to this episode where Amanda told Amy about why she needs to change her home from a 2 to an 8 and it will all make more sense!

THIRD THING: Amy has felt so pulled together lately thanks to her new Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott jewelry. All of the pieces are so cute, cowgirl vibes & ranch inspired because 'country is cool again!' Girls trip to Austin anytime soon? Go by the Yellow Rose store hat bar and get custom hats to always remember the trip....so fun!

FOURTH THING: Ally Fallon's book launch party was on Tuesday night, so Write Your Story: A Simple Framework to Understand Yourself, Your Story, and Your Purpose in the World is officially out in the world and ready for people to read. Donald Miller read his forward for the book at the party and I loved his opening lines: "Years ago, I met a psychologist who gave me some advice about choosing friends. She said this: 'choose people who have a story to tell, rather than those who tell stories.'" Such a good quote. Ally feels strongly that writing our stories helps us understand ourselves so we can live with more purpose and confidence.

FUN FACT: Ally's Write Your Story Podcast is on Amy's network, so she's highlighting an episode that Ally put up last month that further dives into why writing our stories is so helpful....even if we never plan on anyone else reading it. This is such a good listen If you feel like you’re telling the same story over and over again....like the details may change (new boss, new partner, new hometown) but the cycle of the story keepings repeating itself.

Binge-Free Brain Part 3: Beyond Biology - How Your Female Brain Shapes Your Relationship with Food (Outweigh) May 04, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Ready to understand Binge Eating from the perspective of the female brain specifically? Part 3 of Binge-Free Brain dives into the fascinating science of the female brain. Did you know the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) plays a crucial role in our desire for connection, and when that need isn't met, it can lead to bingeing? We'll explore the key brain regions that differ between men and women, explaining why women are actually MORE susceptible to emotional eating. This episode will empower you to see binge eating as a response to unmet needs -- NOT a personal failing -- paving the way for a more compassionate and effective approach to healing.

The Power of Innocent Confidence & More with Mackenzie Porter May 02, 2024

There’s no such thing as having it all. Every success takes sacrifice. Amy’s guest today is actress, singer, song-writer, wife & brand new mom, Mackenzie Porter! With her packed career and being in entertainment, Mackenzie definitely asked herself: “Can I have a baby and continue my work?” (a thought none of us should have, but we most certainly do!) This leads to a quote from Shonda Rhimes that we love: “Whenever you see me somewhere succeeding in one area of my life, that almost certainly means I am failing in another area of my life.” Her point being there’s no balance or “having it all” because perfection is impossible and we need not have those standards or be expected to do it all…just work hard and do our best where we are in each moment.

Mackenzie grew up on a bison and cattle ranch in Canada….so obviously Amy asks her if she knows the Bison Storm Analogy! They also talk about how Mackenzie started taking piano, violin and singing lessons at just 4-years-old, her acting career (Amy loved the show Travelers she was in on Netflix a while back), what it’s like to work with actors and other singers, shooting her shot with Walker Hayes, her new album ‘Nobody’s Born With a Broken Heart’ + songs on it, how writing is therapeutic, not comparing ourselves to others on social media & 4 Things Gratitude: Mackenzie shared 1) what she’s thankful for today, a show she’s obsessed with, a song she loves and a drink that’s been bringing her joy during this season of life!

Enhance Mental Clarity, Change the Energy of Your Home (Address Numerology) & More with Amanda Reiger Green Apr 25, 2024

Changing up small habits in your day can create big changes in your life (this is the power of conscious neuroplasticity) & that's the first thing that Amy gets into with her guest (who is also her cousin) Amanda Reiger Green.

Then the second thing they get into is wild...Amanda explains 'Address Numerology' (a way to change the energy of your home through numbers. i.e. Amanda tells Amy what number to use to sell her house since she's about to put it on the market, and then what number to use to make her new house feel more organized!)

Speaking of organization...the third thing is about cleaning out closets (and making space in your mind) because Amanda was finally able to go through her mom's clothes (she passed away over a year ago) and donate them to the right person.

Fourth thing is CONNECTION (and the importance of it) so if you're in Austin...check out Amanda's Live 'Soul Sessions' Podcast Event (May 7th) for an evening of empowerment, connection, inspiration, and healing! Amanda will be doing live psychic readings, answering Q&A, and helping people gain clarity on their purpose and meaning.

The Only Way Out Is Through with Gracie Moakler Apr 18, 2024

Do you believe in signs from the other side? Amy does & her guest, Gracie Moakler, has a powerful story about a message she recently received from the other side. It's so clear that God was using this sign (from Gracie's sister) as a way to bring comfort and peace when it was very much needed. Amy also shares a message she got from her mom a few days ago (via a cardinal) that was very comforting as well. Side note: Go listen to Kacey Musgraves' song Cardinal ASAP if you haven't listened to it yet...it's so good!! If you don't believe in signs...well don't worry...they chat about other things too!

Gracie is the founder of Emergency Confetti, a mom of 2, and wife to her sweet husband Steve...she wears a lot of hats and at times she wonders what she's gotten herself into. Being a small business owner comes with challenges...but if you want the garden...you've got to pull the weeds (fave quote from the episode!) Gracie has had to learn to expand + to not make her business her identity (i.e. separating herself from hard situations like taking out a big loan to make aforementioned expansion possible) + to not compare herself to other moms/business owners on social media.

Gracie & Amy also talk about they're attempt at little to no clothes shopping this year + joy vs. happiness + 4 things gratitude (Gracie shares a book, a show, a drink and an IG follow that she's thankful for...so maybe there's a 'recommendation' in her gratitude that you'd enjoy!)

"Does It Ever Get Easier?" - Part 2 (Outweigh) Apr 13, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to continue the conversation from last week and dives deeper into the question of "Does it ever get easier?". She argues that restrictive diets and intense exercise plans create a cycle of difficulty and ultimately fail because they train your brain for "hard work" instead of training it for"ease."
This week Leanne literally shares a step-by-step checklist for how you can make sure your brain is focusing on creating "ease" by practicing behaviors that are enjoyable, sustainable, and create a sense of freedom. You can take this "checklist" of practices that cultivate ease (flexibility, consistency, happiness) contrasted with practices that reinforce difficulty (control, pain, guilt) to make sure that YOUR brain is set up for success.
By understanding these two categories (when your brain is practicing EASE vs. when your brain is practicing HARD), you can choose the path of least resistance which leads to lasting change and a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.

"Does It Ever Get Easier?" - Part 1 (Outweigh) Apr 06, 2024

OUTWEIGH: On this week's episode of Outweigh, Leanne tackles a question on every woman's mind stuck in the diet-and-weight-loss cycle: "Does it ever get easier?" Leanne challenges the idea of quick-fix diets and restrictive plans, arguing that they simply create more of the yo-yo effect that you're desperate to break free from AND leave you feeling like a prisoner in your own body.

Instead, she proposes a different approach: focusing on the "why" behind your struggles with food and body image. By becoming a master of your thoughts and habits, you can break free from the "diet mentality" and start creating sustainable change. The episode offers a seed of hope, suggesting that true ease comes from changing your thinking, not through sheer willpower and deprivation.

Why Amy's Losing Trust in Men, Kat's Money Saving Tip, Sad News About Dry Shampoo & More (5th Thing) Apr 02, 2024

Today's quote:

“When you are not used to being confident, confidence will feel like arrogance. When you are used to being passive, assertiveness will feel like aggression. When you are not used to getting your needs met, prioritizing yourself will feel selfish. With that being said, your comfort zone is not always a good benchmark.” — Words from a psychotherapist (Shared on IG By: Mariana Self Love Coach)

Amy shares an email from Martha asking about the hair mask Ashley Wahler recommended when she was on the podcast: "I was driving during this episode and couldn’t take notes! What was the hair oil and hair mask she mentioned? Thank you!"

Here you go Martha: Ashley recommended the Kerastase Elixir Hair Oil and you can find it HERE. Amy also shares with Kat why Ashley is not a fan of dry shampoo. If you missed the episode with Ashely it's definitely worth listening to. Click HERE to listen!

Kat talks about practicing patience with her Anthropologie orders (she's obsessed with that store) and how she's able to save so much money with her "method" + her clothing subscription...which leads to Amy talk about updating her closet to her 'summer colors' and the patience required for that (the 'summer colors' is from another episode worth listening to about a color analysis Amy had done of her underlying skin tone. Click HERE to listen! Speaking of podcasts to listen to...Amy's been obsessed with the 'Something Was Wrong' podcast - she's already listened to 3 seasons and this lines up with an email we got from Tammy: "Amy, I was with someone who lied to me for 12 years. After he passed away I found terrible videos of his betrayal." Ugh, that's terrible. We feel for Tammy on this one.

Other things discussed:

- Parachute (a movie that's coming out this weekend about eating disorders)

- A Good Year (movie from 2006 starring Russell Crow that Amy just watched and loved)

- One Day (a show on Netflix...warning: you will cry!)

- Voicemail from Heather recommending we look into playing padel (apparently, it's the fastest growing sport in the world!)

The Worst Self-Help Advice + Amy’s Mystery Rash + When Ignorance is a Blessing (5th Thing) Mar 26, 2024

“What you don't know can be your greatest asset if you let it. If you are thinking, I have an idea, and I want to start, but I don't know how it's supposed to be done, that’s your gift. If you don’t know how it’s supposed to be done, that will ensure that you will do it differently. Real innovation only happens when you do it differently than everyone else has been doing it. Don't let it intimidate you because it’s really your greatest gift.” That is today’s quote from Sara Blakely (founder of Spanx) and Kat shares how ignorance has been great for her career path as well.

Amy & Kat also go over the “Worst Self-Help Advice You Can Receive” and share little thoughts after each thing on the list:

- Never give up

- If you want it done right, do it yourself

- Find your purpose

- No pain, no gain

- Good things come to those who wait

- Time heals all wounds

Side note: Amy has a weird rash on her chest…and she doesn’t know what is causing it. Anyone else have something just pop up on their chest randomly throughout the day? Like it’s there and then it’s gone and then it’s back again??

4 Gut Instincts You Should Not Ignore (5th Thing) Mar 19, 2024

Kat asks Amy what she learned this last year of her life since she's now 43 years old (as of this week) and she also asks about a fun memory from the year (since it was a rough year around the sun with the divorce and all!) Have you ever rubbed your eyelids?? Because that's a thing you'll learn about in this episode...and it's something Amy enjoys very much!

Quote:

“Some people talk to you in ‘their free time’... and some people ‘free their time’ to talk to you. Make sure you know the difference.” -Someone’s Grandpa

They also talk about 4 gut instincts we should not ignore:

1) A Sense That You Are Not Well:

For example, Amy felt "off" so she got blood work and turns out she has very low testosterone (like very, very low!!) and that is causing her to feel very spacey. She's getting some cream to run on the back of her leg, so we shall see if that helps.

2) Excitement About An Opportunity:

Excitement is your intuition’s way of saying that something about that opportunity is resonating with your soul (so don't let your logical mind talk you out of something you feel is aligned for you!!)

3) A Feeling Of Danger:

When you feel an immense sense of nervousness, take it seriously (better to be safe than sorry!)

4) Being Drawn To Someone:

People are in our life for a reason, a season or a lifetime! (IYKYK: Amy is going to frame this for Kat's office because Kat doesn't think it's that deep, but Amy does haha)

Ashley Wahler on The Hills, Addiction Recovery, & Shooting Her Shot with Keith Urban Mar 14, 2024

Ashley Wahler, celebrity hair stylist and TV personality, and wife to Jason Wahler (known for his appearances on Laguna Beach and The Hills) joins Amy on today’s episode.

Ashley talks reality TV, her husband’s experiences with addiction, and learning how to be a partner to someone in recovery – including facing her own codependency issues and educating herself on alcoholism as a disease.

When you are in the depths of dealing with someone with addiction, it is a lonely place to be. Jason’s addictions led to them losing everything, and led Ashley to lose who she was – feeling depressed and soulless, and living with someone in the depths of their disease with no tools to fix it.

Ashley learned that struggling alone is not an option and that recovery is a disease that touches the whole family. She is now helping and supporting others with the Family Recovery Foundation who offer free zoom meetings with a licensed therapist to any family dealing with addiction.

PLUS – Ashley dishes on her hair stylist secrets: her favorite hair dryer, why you shouldn’t be using dry shampoo, how hot your hair tools should be, and how much hair shedding is normal!

PART 2: Do You WANT to Stop Dieting, But You Have No Idea What That Even Looks Like (and the alternative terrifies you!)? Let's Talk About It! (Outweigh) Feb 24, 2024

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back for Part 2 of this series to help you understand how to get off the diet roller coaster for good.
So many women WANT to stop dieting, but they don't know how, or they don't know what that even looks like, because it's all they've ever known.
So this idea of "food freedom" or NOT being on some sort of diet is not only foreign to them, but it's actually pretty scary, because all their brain has known is what it's like to count, measure, restrict, and control.
Or their brain knows what it's like to bounce to the opposite end of the spectrum, and end up in an uncontrollable cycle of mindless eating, emotional eating, stress eating, or binging, and they just end up feeling super out-of-control.
This week Leanne is laying out the 5 step crystal-clear path way to finally STOP dieting without feeling like you're going off the deep end if you're NOT on something.

HOST: @leanneellington
To learn more about how to turn off the part of your brain that’s obsessed with food or obsessed with your weight and rewire your own brain for peace and freedom,....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com

Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone + Why You Should Never Kiss Your Dog + Gratitude + Mantras & Intentions for 2024 (the Year of Empowerment) Feb 22, 2024

FIRST THING: Amy read something special her sister wrote called That Time We Tore Down the Fence. Loving your neighbors well, getting outside of your comfort zone, and answering dreams, but never forgetting what you have experienced and learned and loved on the way.

SECOND THING: Taft Hansen (a medical laboratory scientist/parasitologist) is a guest for this continued conversation about parasites. He sent Amy an email after hearing her episode with Katie Decker and he wanted to contribute. They talk about why you should never kiss your dog, cooking meat properly, parasites in the brain and more.

3RD THING: Taft's wife Morgan joins in for '4 Things Gratitude' and some good movie, tv and book recommendations come up during it!

4TH THING: Amy's cousin, Amanda Rieger Green is on talking about how 2024 is the year of empowerment. She released a Numerology Guide Book that’s special for this year (an 8 year, BTW) and people are loving it, so Amanda gave us the details & also shared with us some mantras and intentions that are good for us to use this year specifically!

PART 1: Do You WANT to Stop Dieting, But You Have No Idea What That Even Looks Like (and the alternative terrifies you!)? Let's Talk About It! (Outweigh) Feb 17, 2024

OUTWEIGH: So many women WANT to stop dieting, but they don't know how, or they don't know what that even looks like, because it's all they've ever known.
So this idea of "food freedom" or NOT being on some sort of diet is not only foreign to them, but it's actually pretty scary, because all their brain has known is what it's like to count, measure, restrict, and control.
Or their brain knows what it's like to bounce to the opposite end of the spectrum, and end up in an uncontrollable cycle of mindless eating, emotional eating, stress eating, or binging, and they just end up feeling super out-of-control.
But again, NOT being ON something scares them, because when they are not ON, they are totally OFF, and as you can imagine, it's one massive vicious cycle and downward spiral.
And because this topic truly is multi-faceted, Leanne broke it up into 2 parts. Part 1 is about the mindset and heartset and brainset shifts that need to happen to make the strategy-side-of-things Leanne will share in Part 2 even possible.
So enjoy this episode, and make sure to come back next week where Leanne is going to break it down into 5 crystal clear steps of what that actually looks like to heal from the diet mentality for good.

Elevate Your Confidence, Style & Power with This Life-Changing Tip Feb 15, 2024

Amy just discovered color matching & it's blown her mind. Her guest, Hannah Garber (a color analyst) breaks it all down for us. Amy met Hannah after she booked an appointment to find out her "season" (she learned she's a 'cool summer' palette, btw) and when Hannah told Amy her underlying skin tone was one that radiates in NAVY BLUE & NOT BLACK Amy was fascinated! She knew she wanted Hannah on the podcast ASAP. Why are we just now learning about this? In a nutshell, we all have certain colors that give us the power to show up with more confidence and look our best. Everything from the way we color our hair, to our makeup choices, the clothing we wear, nail color, jewelry etc..

Amy & Hannah talk about the colors/seasons (winter, summer, spring & autumn), confidence, capsule wardrobes (imagine if getting dressed was easy!!), the science behind it all, how Hollywood uses color matching for character building (shout out Anne Hathoway in Devil Wears Prada) & so much more (like memories of our moms with their signature lip colors & how switching your mascara color from black to brown is a game-changer or vice versa...it all depends on the "season" that you are!)

How Gwyneth Paltrow Releases Anger & Do You Rank Your Friends? (5th Thing) Feb 13, 2024

Today’s quote is from Ally Fallon: “You rarely know the whole story already – when things don’t make sense it’s usually because there’s missing data, untapped information. Maybe someone is keeping something from you, maybe you’re keeping something from yourself. Maybe certain things are none of your business - and maybe you need to wait a little longer to collect more puzzle pieces.”

What are the facts in the story you’ve built in your head? Practice patience – the other pieces of the puzzle are coming.

Amy & Kat “popcorn” through different topics:

How Kat’s feeling leading up to her wedding!
What’s the right way to order your bridesmaids/groomsmen?
Survey: 1/3 of Americans feel lonely at least once per week
Filling your cup with connection & community
Horrible hygiene habits that are way too common
Gwyneth Paltrow uses a baseball bat to release anger
Emotional intelligence quiz
Gaslighting and the Keanu Reeves mindset (2+2=5)

Will Amy make 2024 the year of no shoes in her house? Only time will tell :)

Wishing Kat a happy wedding week!!! Check out her episode about The Loneliness Epidemic on You Need Therapy.

Food Struggles Are My “Dirty Little Secret” (Outweigh) Feb 10, 2024

OUTWEIGH: When it comes to the diet mentality, body shame, disordered eating, and all the internal stress and chaos that comes alongside all of that, for so many women this is their deepest held secret.

This struggle with food, their body, the war in their head, the fight in their hearts, and the shame. All that shame about their body, feeling so out of control all the time, feeling like a failure….for so many women, no one even knows what's really going on!

★ No one knows how much they are REALLY struggling and suffering.

★ No one knows how much time and energy they are spending thinking about what they should or shouldn’t eat, what they should wear — or what they can wear that fits or doesn’t look tight.

★ No one knows how much time they are thinking about how bad they actually feel.

★ No one knows that they aren’t even fully present in their lives— that even though they are there in the flesh and blood, they aren’t really ‘there’ -- they aren’t fully present.

What’s even worse is: no one is talking about this OR how to get past it.
In today’s episode of Outweigh Leanne takes a look at this overlooked subject, but also shares the “What I know now that I wish I knew then” steps to actually get PAST it.

Friendship Breakups & Advocating for Your Health (5th Thing) Feb 06, 2024

Today’s quote: “The view is always better from the high road – and there’s less traffic!”

Amy & Kat answer two questions from a listener email:

How should we feel if a friendship ends?

A lot of people don’t talk about ending friendships, but it can feel like more of a loss than someone we’ve been dating (even if you knew it was the right decision for yourself)!

It’s a VERY normal experience for a friendship to end (and it can really suck). Kat reminds us that grieving is not about getting over something – it’s about learning live with the loss.

How can get your doctor to take your symptoms seriously?

Amy is in perimenopause and is getting her hormones tested to try to figure out the right way to treat her symptoms. There’s a lot of shame around menopause especially if you’re doctor isn’t taking your symptoms seriously or is disregarding your concerns.

Reminder! You are allowed to have information & ask questions about your own health!! Don’t feel bad advocating for yourself and if you need to, find a new doctor who will listen to you!

PLUS – beauty mishaps: Veet for eyebrows and Preparation H for undereye?!

Things You Should Never Say To Your Partner (5th Thing) Jan 23, 2024

Today’s quote is from Brené Brown: “choose discomfort over resentment.”

Amy and Kat discuss Brené’s habit of using a “boundary ring” where she spins her ring around three times before she makes a decision as a way to keep her from saying yes when she really means no.

It’s 25 days until Kat’s wedding and she’s chasing down 100 RSVPs because of this very “forward” thing she did with her invites.

Amy shares a list of things you should never say to your partner:

Don’t use “never” and “always”
Instead of “yes, but” use “yes, and”
Don’t compare: “you should be more like _____”
Avoid dismissals like “you’re overreacting”, “calm down”, and “this is not that big of a deal”

One of Amy’s goals this year is trying to be a better adult and Kat talks about the process of growing up and “getting” old” in her latest episode of You Need Therapy.

Owning Your Worth in the Face of Haters (Outweigh) Jan 20, 2024

OUTWEIGH: We are back for Part 2 in "Unfiltered Confidence: Navigating Self-Discovery Within Recovery," where Leanne interviews Suzanne, a living testament to the transformative journey of overcoming disordered eating and toxic shame.

In "Owning Your Worth in the Face of Haters," they delve into the post-recovery journey, exploring self-endorsement and the profound ability to own your journey and not veer from your vision, even when others don't understand (and even in the presence of "haters".)

Suzanne candidly shares her personal experiences, offering a firsthand account of how she learned to navigate the complex terrain of self-image and confidently embrace her own worth, even when others were actively speaking against her. It's a powerful conversation that unravels the intricacies of self-discovery beyond the physical, empowering you to cultivate unshakable confidence and freedom in your own life.

Self-Forgetfulness, Sourdough Bread, Vision Boards & More Jan 18, 2024

Amy was given a book about self-forgetfulness from her friend, Jeremiah Carter, so he is on with her to talk about the meaning of it. Whether we admit it or not, we all care to varying degrees what people think of us. The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness (by Timothy Keller) is a little gem of a book that will have you considering how busy most of us are measuring up all of our words, actions, and responses to both the standards of those around us and our own standards. It’s a short read with a powerful message. Amy and Jeremiah also talk about homemade sourdough bread (and Amy's favorite way to eat it), a movie recommendation, visualization/manifestation gratitude and more!

Can You Take a First Date to a Wedding? (5th Thing) Jan 16, 2024

How is it already mid-January?? So yeah, time flies. But we are our own pilots according to Michael Altshuler: "The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot." Kat is piloting and navigating her wedding big time right now and Amy doesn't have a Hinge update for us....but there's still time for her to find a Hinge date for Kat's wedding. Something Amy is currently trying to pilot: Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!

Amy bought a cookbook that is all chocolate chip cookie recipes. It's called The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book - it's by Katie Jacobs and it's genius. There's recipes for classic chocolate chip cookies and more unique ones but also recipes for stuff like chocolate chip cheesecake and a cookie dough milkshake. There's tips and tricks shared as well. Could be a great birthday present for someone this year...someone in your life that loves cookies.

Speaking of cooking, do you use plastic or wood cutting boards? Amy & Kat also talk about why we shouldn't be using plastic cutting boards!

Signs You May Have Parasites + How Do We Get Them + Why Amy's Doing a Full Moon Cleanse Jan 11, 2024

Where do parasites come from? What is hair analysis? Why don't they show in a stool test or colonoscopy? What is the significance of cleansing around the full moon? How do you get ready to parasite cleanse? These are just some of the questions answered in today's episode about parasites with Integrative Health Practitioner, Katie Decker.

Katie's Bio: I live and play in Southern Utah with my incredible husband Taz and our 3 girls.

What Amy's Doing to Not Die Alone (5th Thing) Jan 09, 2024

Amy has a big change to announce that is sort of painful to say out loud....at least for her...haha. It's very much out of her comfort zone. Change is good, though, per the quote for this episode: “Change is painful, but not as painful as being stuck somewhere you don’t belong." (a listener, Melissa, emailed us this quote & we love it)

Amy & Kat answer these prompts...they could be fun for you to answer for yourself with your partner or friends as well:

This Year I really want to...

What I order for the table...

I go crazy for...

Another prompt...list 3 movies...you have to eliminate 1. Below are Amy's 3:

- Gladiator

- The Notebook

- Hitch

Which one would you eliminate?
Amy also has a movie review for a movie that came out 23 years ago. She never watched it because she assumed she wouldn't like it. She assumed wrong!

Redefine to Align Part 4: How To Redefine 'Results' (Outweigh) Jan 06, 2024

OUTWEIGH: In this 4th and final episode of the "Redefine to Align" Series, Amy and Leanne talk about the dynamics of redefining results, and they explore the nuanced relationship between time, intensity, and sustainable change.

In this episode, they shine a light on the common pitfall of succumbing to the "Short-Term Gratification Trap", where the allure of immediate pleasure often overshadows long-term well-being...AND your long-term happiness.

They dissect the unconscious choices that lead to a pattern of trading short-term happiness for longer-term discontent, examining the underlying mental and emotional things that are also at play.

By unraveling the interplay of time and intensity, Amy and Leanne simply want to empower you to grasp a new understanding of results—-- one that prioritizes sustainable growth over short-term goals that "suck you in", so that you can break free from the Short-Term Gratification Trap and redefine the very essence of results in your own life.

The Faith-Brain Connection: Where Self Image Meets Neuroscience (from “What’s God Got To Do With It?” with Leanne Ellington) Jan 02, 2024

While Amy’s on break, enjoy this episode from “What’s God Got To Do With It?” with Leanne Ellington - part of the Amy Brown Podcast Network!

In this episode, Leanne takes you on a journey to explore the profound interplay between faith, self-image, and neuroscience. Leanne breaks down (in simple science terms) how just influencing ONE specific part of the brain (the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), or the "social brain" as she calls it) can change the game for you -- simply by knowing about it -- as just this ONE part of the brain influences everything from self-perception and emotional pain to coping mechanisms and physical pain.

Inviting God into the conversation right away, she shares how this region of the brain drives our need for acceptance and connection while also playing a big role in your coping mechanisms or habits which you feel are "out of control".

And it's not just theory either, as she shares evidence-based scientific studies that show how faith has been proven to drastically impact everything from self-esteem and addiction recovery...to the alleviation of physical pain, and how THIS can hold the keys to your own mental and emotional health.

Ultimately, she's simply inviting you to 'try on' this idea that faith can be a catalyst for healing, strength, and transformation in the realm of mental and emotional well-being.

Acting As If (FEELING) When Your Thoughts Don’t Match How You Feel (2 of 4) Jan 02, 2024

PART 2 of 4: Ever wonder why your thoughts and feelings don't sync up? Amy & Leanne share a fresh-yet-totally-doable approach that will help you reclaim the reins of confusing thoughts in our head…so that stepping into WHO YOU WANT TO BE actually becomes possible!
In PART 2 you learn:
👉Why it's not your CIRCUMSTANCES that dictate your reality, it's your THOUGHTS, and how every single thought CAUSES a feeling-- not the other way around.
👉Why your Self Image knows how you really feel, so before you can "act as if" or "believe a new reality", it's got to FEEL good, FEEL true, and resonate.
👉How to truly flip "negative emotions" on their head and find the gold in what it's trying to teach you.

Redefine to Align Part 3: How To Redefine 'Stress' (Outweigh) Dec 30, 2023

OUTWEIGH: In the 3rd episode of the "Redefine to Align" Series, Amy and Leanne are back to redefine typical definitions of "stress" and the notion that stress is this inevitable and uncontrollable force in our lives.

While stressful circumstances arising is indeed inevitable, Amy and Leanne invite you to break free from the misconception that stress must be a constant companion or a dominant force in your life.

By examining the ways in which our nervous systems become accustomed to heightened states, they explore redefining stress (and how you react to it) so that you can recognize that stress doesn't define you; rather, it's a learned response that can be unlearned. It's about cultivating a new relationship with stress and gathering the tools to help you break free from its grip and reclaim control over your well-being. Only then can you start aligning with the version of yourself that you truly want to be.

Change The Way You Think, Feel & Show Up In The World Dec 28, 2023

Amy and her cousin, Amanda Rieger Green, just got back from a restorative getaway trip! It was good for the soul in so many ways: laughter, meaningful conversation, time in nature, Lifetime movies, good food, time to EXHALE & more...

A quote from Rumi that came up on their trip that will change the way you think:

“It's your road, and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.”

In other words, if you don't find the courage to go after what you want in life, you'll never get it. Amanda is personally working through this as we speak!

OTHER THINGS DISCUSSED WITH AMANDA:

- Taking 5 minutes per day to meditate (also loaded on your 4 Things feed today is a free 5-min meditation led by Amanda. Try to do it every day this week because it will be a game-changer!)

- Challenging yourself to feel better & create balance

- Recognizing the call to action and TAKING THE ACTION

- Knowing that everyone is going through something even when from the outside they seem to have it all together

- Having courage to look back at your past to move forward

- Forest bathing, grounding, negative ions

- Paying attention to who you can be your best, silliest, light-hearted self around (shout out Danae Hays & Lispy Linda!)

Unraveling Worthiness (from “What’s God Got To Do With It?” with Leanne Ellington) Dec 26, 2023

While Amy’s on break, enjoy this episode from “What’s God Got To Do With It?” with Leanne Ellington - part of the Amy Brown Podcast Network!

Leanne is kicking off a new series based on her own experiences navigating "The Paradox of Worthiness" (as she calls it). As in, how do you feel worthy when you don't feel worthy?
There is so much talk nowadays about self-love and worthiness, but the crucial question remains: How do we truly embrace it if all we’ve ever known is the opposite? How do you suddenly feel worthy if all you’ve ever known is feeling unworthy?
In this kickoff to the series, Leanne introduces you to (what she calls) "The 5 Blocks To Love", and how she discovered that when it came to actually FEELING worthy of being loved, that was a really hard concept for her to grasp at first. It felt like something was actually blocking her.
And that's when she discovered that there were "5 Blocks" that were hindering her ability to RECEIVE what was already there, and that this was what was actually causing her resistance. She also discovered that removing those blocks catapulted her ability to connect to herself, others, and God.

You're going to get an in-depth look at each of these blocks in this upcoming series, but first she dives into the fusion of faith, neuroscience, and self-image as a pathway to feeling worthy and putting yourself in the optimal position to remove your own blocks.

Acting As If (THINKING) When Downward Spiral Thoughts Rule Your Life (1 of 4) Dec 26, 2023

PART 1 of 4: Are you feeling stuck or battling self-doubt? Do you want to take ownership of your life by taking ownership of your thoughts? If yes and yes, then "Acting As If" is for you! Amy Brown & Self-Image Scientist Leanne Ellington designed this 4-part series to help you shift your thoughts, so that “Acting As If” becomes possible for your brain to adopt. In each episode, you get effective strategies to break free from the grip of negativity & gain insights on nurturing an "emotionally healthy" brain.
In PART 1 you learn:
👉Why "Acting As If" is not a matter of positive affirmations or fake-it-til-you-make it.
👉Rewiring your brain for peace in the chaos
👉Distinguishing the data vs the drama of your situation
👉How to give yourself your own "reality check" to stop the downward spiral of thoughts in your brain.
We can all struggle with downward spiraling thoughts:
"Why did I eat that?"
"Why didn't he call me?"
"Why can't I stop that?"
"Does that make me a bad mom?"
"Why should I bother? Is this just how it will always be?"
Things like "fake it ‘til you make it" + turning everything “into a positive" will NOT outsmart your brain...and there’s a reason why.

Redefine to Align Part 2: How To Redefine 'Boundaries' (Outweigh) Dec 23, 2023

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 2 of the "Redefine to Align" Series, where they explore the complex topic of boundaries— which is an integral part of self-discovery, but also an often-misunderstood part.

While society often portrays boundaries as external limitations imposed on US, Amy and Leanne want to challenge that narrative and unravel the misconception that boundaries are merely external barricades, emphasizing that true boundary-setting originates from within.

They explore the concept that what may appear as a boundary problem is often rooted as an integrity problem, and they guide you to reevaluate your relationship with your own personal limits. This episode was designed to empower you to redefine boundaries not as restrictive walls, but as liberating expressions of self-respect and authenticity so you can align with the version of yourself that you TRULY want to be.

Trading Up: Exchanging External Judgments For Your God-Given Value Dec 19, 2023

Leanne is back as we conclude our deep dive into the Paradox of Worthiness. In this final episode of the series, she unravels the concept of "Self-Endorsement" and explores this idea that it's possible for you to value your own opinion of yourself and God’s opinion of you more so (even just a little bit more so) than someone else’s opinion of you. And how THAT can liberate you from the constant need for external validation.

Self-Endorsement is truly about standing confidently in who you are, but more so who God says you are, and seeking approval from God, rather than relying solely on others' opinions. Leanne encourages you to break free from society's definition of approval and external validation, renew your mind, and invite God into the process through prayer.

As she wraps up this series, the invitation is clear: explore a new perspective, be patient with yourself, and trust the unfolding journey of self-discovery as you identify what you need for your head, heart, and spirit.

Redefine to Align Part 1: How To Redefine 'Success' (Outweigh) Dec 16, 2023

OUTWEIGH: Welcome to the "The Redefine to Align" Series, a new 4 part series here on Outweigh where we are going to dive headfirst into the transformative journey of redefining typical words or paradigms in our lives that might NOT be aligning us in the direction we WANT to go.

Amy and Leanne are here to help you navigate the challenging landscape of the holiday season, where societal pressures and external expectations often dictate your sense of accomplishment, and this first episode was designed to be a source of hope and inspiration to redefine YOUR own definitions of success.

Their goal is simply to challenge the conventional notions tied to success, unraveling the 'typical' narratives that are tied to success -- things like weight loss, food choices, and exercise metrics -- that often overshadow the intrinsic value within each of us, and take us OUT of alignment.

By examining these subtle yet profound shifts in your mindset, what would happen if you detached from external validations and began cultivating a more authentic definition of success —-- one that resonates from YOU and where you are in your journey? THAT is the journey they are inviting you into.

Earning Back Your Own Trust With God As Your Co-Pilot Dec 12, 2023

Leanne is back to continue exploring this complex topic of worthiness, diving into the paradox of feeling worthy when you DON'T feel worthy. Once again Leanne talks about the 5 Blocks to God’s love, originally introduced as a 'Self-Imaging' formula, and how these blocks, if not addressed, can hinder your experience of love and worthiness.
This episode focuses on the fourth ingredient and God block: Self-Esteem, where she teaches about understanding Self-Esteem as more than just confidence, but a profound interplay of "knowing, liking, and trusting" yourself.
She explores this concept that most people are walking around very untrusting of themselves, because somewhere along the lines they stopped believing themselves when they made promises to themselves. And this causes them to not only STOP trusting themselves, but to also LOSE respect for themselves, believing themselves less and less the NEXT time they commit to something. And THAT is what damages your Self-Esteem.
She takes you on a deep-dive of how to repair your integrity if you've gotten into the habit of making promises to yourself without actual follow-through. She also shows you how to invite God into this conversation to explore the power of promise-keeping when it comes to restoring your Self-Esteem.
Leanne encourages and invites you to create a new definition of Self-Esteem, only this time around taking your "spiritual integrity" into account and seeking God's perspective on getting back in alignment with yourself WHILE you embrace the concept of taking radical ownership of your own Self-Image...and the spiritual journey towards God-inspired integrity.

Before You Judge Someone, Walk a Mile in Their Shoes (5th Thing) Dec 12, 2023

Amy & Kat both share how life experiences have helped them have more compassion and understanding for what someone else might be going through. Kat tells us the difference between a complaint and criticism (this is important to know for any relationship!)

Today's quote: “Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes." ― Jack Handy

Listener email: Amy read a note from a listener who's had a hard year. Hopefully you feel encouraged after hearing it to have the holiday season you need to have.

The Truth About Your Fat - Part 4 (Outweigh) Dec 09, 2023

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to close out our The Truth About Your Fat series, where she takes you on a tour of the 5 categories of fat and fascia that you might have.

These 5 'types' just further emphasize that fat and fascia are interconnected, and their relationship can impact your overall health and well-being.

Leanne's goal for this episode is to simplify the often-complex topic for you, making it accessible and relatable, so you can stop fighting your body and, instead, focus on learning how to take care of it and embrace a new, more positive body image.

The episode is the perfect 'tour' of the multifaceted aspects of fat and fascia and how they influence our overall health and well-being and will hopefully encourage a shift in perspective towards health & self-care and a better understanding of your body's complex mechanisms.

Nobody Really Knows What They're Doing (Part 1 with Camille Alston: Country Artist Manager Turned Apparel Designer & Entrepreneur) Dec 07, 2023

PART 1 of Amy's chat with Camille Alston is about 'How I Built This' - Camille made other people’s dreams come true in the music industry for 15 years (managing artists like Kelsea Ballerini & Brett Eldredge) and then she stepped away from her career to follow a passion for classic & witty gender-neutral style. In 2020 she founded N.B. GOODS and people are loving her nostalgia-driven brand that specializes in accessories, apparel, and gifts in Nashville, TN. Her story will encourage you to also chase your dreams & remind you that nobody knows what they're doing.....we're all just figuring it out as we go!

FUN FACT: Camille and Amy were on 'Building Roots' together (season 2, episode 2) when Amy's sister and her husband brought their show to Nashville. If you missed the night it aired on HGTV the episode is called 'A River Runs Through It' and you can stream it on HBO MAX.

PART 2 This will air next week and will focus less on business and more on Camille's personal life (specifically, the loss of her father and how he's very much still with her, guiding her in spirit.) It will air next Thursday. Such a good chat. You won't want to miss it.

Currency of the Soul: God's Truth About Your Divine Worth Dec 05, 2023

Leanne is back to continue exploring this complex topic of worthiness, diving into the paradox of feeling worthy when you DON'T feel worthy. Once again Leanne talks about the 5 Blocks to God’s love, originally introduced as a 'Self-Imaging' formula, and how these blocks, if not addressed, can hinder your experience of love and worthiness.

This time however, the spotlight turns to the third ingredient and God Block: Self-Worth, as Leanne emphasizes the importance of understanding what you're "weighing and measuring" to define your own worth. She shares personal experiences of tying self-worth SOLELY to external factors like appearance, relationships, and achievement, and how goal-setting can be great, but if that's the ONLY place you are finding your worth, that's where the trouble lies.

Leanne encourages and invites you to create a new definition of self-worth, only this time around taking a "spiritual currency" into account and seeking God's perspective on your divine worth, teaching you how to embrace the concept of taking radical ownership of your own Self-Image... while inviting God into the process as your co-pilot and divine partner.

Why Relationships Are Never 50/50, the App We All Need, Christmas Traditions & More (5th Thing) Dec 05, 2023

Is it annoying when someone says they're giving 110%? Kat can't stand when people say that, but it doesn't bother Amy. They agree to disagree on this topic, but they both agree that Brene Brown gets it right when she says that in a relationship, it’s never 50/50. Percentage talk came up because of today's quote: “On the days you have only 40%, and you give 40%. You gave 100%.” – Jim Kwik

Back to Brene Brown and relationships...some days one partner may only have 20%, and the other might pick up the slack. Or maybe you and your partner have a combined 40%- and if so, that’s ok! Amy and Kat remind us that we can line up activities that meet you where you are that week. You gave 100%.” – Jim Kwik yourselves! Amy also shares a listener tip for a useful app she found called ‘Just Watch’. It’s a helpful resource to find where your favorite tv shows are playing, so you can find which streaming app you need! Kat and Amy discuss sharing passwords with significant others, and their favorite traditions around the holidays! What foods they like to make and what Christmas movies they like to watch! Amy and Kat both recommend following @Peaceful_barb if you're not already. She's great!
Have the day you need to have!!

Things We Get Wrong About Money with Rachel Cruze Nov 30, 2023

Financial expert, Rachel Cruze, joins Amy to talk about her new book I'm Glad For What I Have. “It’s ok to have nice stuff, just don’t let your stuff have you” is something Rachel often says, so it was important for her to write this book to spark meaningful conversations with kids about entitlement and contentment.

Amy & Rachel also talk about the top things we get wrong about money, creative side hustles, money ‘trends’ that are draining our bank accounts, when to discuss money when dating, and recommendations for listeners (especially women) who need to ask for a raise.

ABOUT RACHEL:

Rachel is a two-time #1 national bestselling author (Know Yourself Know Your Money and Love Your Life Not Theirs: 7 Money Habits For Loving The Life You Want.) She's also the Host of The Rachel Cruze Show and co-host of Smart Money Happy Hour.

Loving For No Reason, Where Jay Shetty Got It Wrong, Amy's Weird Rash & More (5th Thing) Nov 28, 2023

Is watching TV together the lowest form of intimacy? Amy & Kat break down a comment made by Jay Shetty about TV being the lowest form of intimacy for couples. Kat reminds us that this blanket statement has the potential to make people feel shame or question what is working for them in their relationship. Depending on what you both enjoy, tv watching might be a great way for you to connect with your significant other! When an expert shares something like this, approach it like an idea, not a fact. Kat shares that she loves watching shows and also listening to audiobooks with her fiancé while they are on a walk together. They might not be talking in those moments, but they are still enjoying something together and it leads to conversations afterwards. Amy and Kat also chat about some recent health scares they’ve both had, including Amy’s rash on her temples, and Kat’s confession of having 11 cavities after not going to the dentist for 5 years! PSA: Flossing is important! Don’t skip it!

Today’s Quote is from a sign in someone’s front yard: “I love you. You are probably thinking you don’t even know me, but if people can hate for no reason, I can love for no reason.” Kat is considering putting a little sign outside of her therapy practice. Amy suggested putting up a therapy joke: "Why did Waldo go to therapy? To find himself!"

Divine Partnership: Health & Self-Care With God's Support Nov 28, 2023

Join us as Leanne continues to explore the complex topic of worthiness, diving into the paradox of feeling worthy when you DON'T feel worthy. Once again Leanne talks about the 5 Blocks to God’s love, originally introduced as a 'Self-Imaging' formula, and how these blocks, if not addressed, can hinder your experience of love and worthiness.

This time however, the spotlight turns to the second ingredient and God Block: Self-Care, as Leanne challenges 'conventional' views of health by emphasizing a 3-dimensional approach—mental, emotional, and spiritual care—as the foundation for physical well-being. She encourages you to redefine health and self-care, while inviting God into the journey and addressing the cultural misconceptions that often lead to harmful practices, and she paints a picture of shifting from the world's take on health...to a more all-encompassing, God-centered one.

It's time to toss out the one-size-fits-all approach, and figure out your unique recipe for health and well-being. But this time around: inviting God in as your Divine Partner.

The Truth About Your Fat - Part 2 (Outweigh) Nov 25, 2023

OUTWEIGH: In Part 2 of this series, Leanne is back to discuss the often-misunderstood topic of body fat and its relationship with fascia. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and appreciating fat, as it plays a crucial role in the body's functions and should not be stigmatized.

She also delves into the science behind fat and fascia, breaking it down very simply, but also highlighting how they are not just passive tissues but play active roles in metabolism, hormonal regulation, and more. She also walks you through how fascia, a connective tissue, can interact with fat, affecting issues such as fat storage and fat loss.

Leanne's goal is to empower you to take care of your body (and this includes your fat and fascia), and to help you unravel the mysteries of body fat and fascia to help you improve your overall well-being and relationship with your body.

Finding Interdependence In Your Relationship, The 7 Primal Questions, Making Dreams Coming True (5th Thing) Nov 21, 2023

Today’s quote is from NEEDTOBREATHE’s song “Dreams”:

That's why I throw my bones in the rhythm

Sink my teeth in a good time

Whole lot more than a feeling

I could lose

That's I why I brace myself every minute

Trying to hold on tight for a good ride

Fools like us are only here to prove

You make dreams come true

Amy asks the question: when it comes to accomplishing the dreams in your life, where there has been struggle, but you’ve preserved - what comes to mind for you?

As a follow up to Amy’s conversation with her friend, Jeremiah, last week, Kat gives her thoughts on the 7 Primal Questions:

Am I safe?
Am I secure?
Am I loved?
Am I wanted?
Am I successful?
Am I good enough?
Do I have purpose?

Kat’s fiance did something to make her feel insecure when talking in his sleep which leads to a conversation about premarital couples counseling, keeping separate bank accounts, and interdependence (the healthy space between fully independent & co-dependent).

Removing the Blocks: Self-Acceptance and God's Unwavering Grace Nov 21, 2023

In this episode of the "God Pod", Leanne invites you to redefine "surrender" and actively shift from self-reliance to God's guidance. Diving into the first ingredient AND the first "God Block", the focus is on Self-Acceptance as both an ingredient for a loving Self-Image and a potential block to receiving God's love.
Consider this episode a roadmap to recognizing and addressing your own "God Blocks", fostering self-acceptance, and taking practical steps to actually break through the "Paradox of Acceptance"...and how to accept yourself (even with all the messy bits) when you DON'T accept yourself.

The Truth About Your Fat - Part 1 (Outweigh) Nov 18, 2023

OUTWEIGH: Nowadays fat has a bad rap. We hate it. We fear it. We name it. We blame it. We shame it. Some people will do whatever they can to destroy it and eliminate its "wrath" from their lives. But who ever said that fat was ugly, or something to be ashamed of? And what if you could work WITH it (learn how to actually take care of it on a nervous system level so you can actually get rid of it if that's what you want to do) instead of working AGAINST it? Since it IS such a prevalent "enemy" in today's world, and since it's not going away anytime soon, we might as well learn about it, right?

Unfortunately no one is talking about that side of it. What you eat and how you move is PART of the equation, but it doesn’t cover the whole picture. Not even close! And I truly believe (and science will back me up!) that your health, body, and emotional struggles are simply EFFECTS of something going on ‘higher up’ in your brain and nervous system (SEE ALSO: That system of systems that dictates EVERYTHING!). And in this 4 part series, we are going to talk about a subject matter that baffles most women and causes more shame and sadness than any topic I’ve encountered: The Truth About YOUR FAT (and what you can actually do about it)

Unraveling Worthiness: Breaking Down the 5 'Blocks' to God's Love Nov 14, 2023

Leanne is kicking off a new series based on her own experiences navigating "The Paradox of Worthiness" (as she calls it). As in, how do you feel worthy when you don't feel worthy?
There is so much talk nowadays about self-love and worthiness, but the crucial question remains: How do we truly embrace it if all we’ve ever known is the opposite? How do you suddenly feel worthy if all you’ve ever known is feeling unworthy?
In this kickoff to the series, Leanne introduces you to (what she calls) "The 5 Blocks To Love", and how she discovered that when it came to actually FEELING worthy of being loved, that was a really hard concept for her to grasp at first. It felt like something was actually blocking her.
And that's when she discovered that there were "5 Blocks" that were hindering her ability to RECEIVE what was already there, and that this was what was actually causing her resistance. She also discovered that removing those blocks catapulted her ability to connect to herself, others, and God.

You're going to get an in-depth look at each of these blocks in this upcoming series, but first she dives into the fusion of faith, neuroscience, and self-image as a pathway to feeling worthy and putting yourself in the optimal position to remove your own blocks.

Make The Holidays Fun, Amy’s Favorite Recipes, Kat Learns What PTL Means (5th Thing) Nov 14, 2023

Today’s quote: “Therapy should have open houses like elementary school so my therapist can meet everyone I talk about” - @steadfastcounseling

Inspired by Annie Downs, “That Sounds Fun”, Amy & Kat talk about making a list of things that sound fun to you during the stressful holiday season (rather than just focusing on the things that sound like a drag on your to do list). Ideas include:

Grabbing your favorite coffee drink
Baking chocolate chip cookies
Hiking in the woods
Reading a good book
Singing carpool karaoke
Have a game night
Curling up by a fire
Learning something new

What sounds fun to you?? Make a list!

Amy & Kat have fun playing The Toast’s “When You Know The Words To The Song” Game

More on what GOOD INSIDE explores:

-Prioritizing Resilience over happiness for our kids
-Creating “connection capital,” a reserve of positive feelings we hopefully build up with our children, which we can pull from in times of struggle or when the relationship between us gets strained
-Detecting and reducing shame
-Telling kids the truth and why information empowers kids, not scares them

Own Your Strengths, Add Green To Your Wardrobe, Put Sunscreen On Your Neck, & More (5th Thing) Sep 06, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is from Adam Grant: “Downplaying your achievements is not the antidote to appearing arrogant. Humility is acknowledging your weakness, not denying your strengths. Generosity is elevating others, not diminishing yourself. Owning your success doesn’t make you a narcissist…it makes you a role model." Such a good quote and Amy was able to use it to motivate herself before a big meeting this last week (along with the wonder woman pose!) Allowing yourself to know what you know is a beautiful place to be (if you can get there) and we have Jennifer Garner to thank for that reminder!

Other things from this episode:
-PSA: Put sunscreen on your neck!!!
-Did you know that green can make you feel optimistic and refreshed?? Amy shares the cute green blazer that she will be ordering since @NextDoorLife told us that green = refreshed!!
-Can spiders bite through clothing??
-How to set up your “Medical ID” on your iPhone (your watch/phone could save your life!)
-Checking in on your heart rate (and it’s something we should be aware of/knowing your body!)
-Raise your hand if you relate to this: “Don't ever be scared to cancel plans with me. I’ll hop back in bed so fast!”

You Don't Have To Be In The Spotlight To Be Successful with Tim Shurrer Sep 01, 2022

Amy is pumped to finally connect with Tim Shurrer!! Is your definition of success leaving you restless and empty? Tim can help with that and he's on to talk about his new book: The Secret Society of Success!

There’s a message getting a lot of airtime these days. It says to be successful, you have to step into the spotlight, climb the ladder, become the boss, or chase whatever version of success that’s been dangled in front of you.
But what if there’s another way? What if fame, money, and power aren’t all that we should be chasing?
In The Secret Society of Success, Tim Schurrer invites you to reevaluate your definition of success and learn a new, freer way to go about achieving it. How do you learn this approach? With the Secret Society as your guide—a community of people who know how to make an impact, whether they have the spotlight or not. The Secret Society will teach you to
• define success for yourself;
• contribute to your team without minding who gets the credit;
• make an impact that spans far beyond yourself, regardless of the size of your platform;
• navigate living in the tension between contentment and striving;
• go from feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and restless in your job to being confident in the value you bring to the team; and
• discover meaning and fulfillment in the work that you do.
Through powerful stories of people like the CEO of Apple Tim Cook, NBA all-star LeBron James, Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, and people whose names you’ve never heard of, you will discover that the success you’re looking for is within your reach, wherever you are and whatever your role.

Tim knows what it takes to build a winning team. He spent almost a decade of his career launching two brands—StoryBrand and Business Made Simple—as COO alongside New York Times bestselling author Donald Miller. Before that Tim worked at TOMS as well as Apple Inc. He is the host of the Build a Winning Team podcast, where he offers listeners actionable advice as he interviews some of the top leaders in business. Tim lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife, Katie, and their two kids.

Turn Obstacles Into Opportunities, The Friendship Deck, & More (5th Thing) Aug 30, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is from an IG post that @GabbyBernstein put up about seeing obstacles in life as detours in the right direction (when you choose to see life this way “you can begin to find a deeper meaning and personal growth amidst the discomfort.”) This reminded Amy of a book she read a couple of years ago called ‘Obstacle Is The Way’ that she highly recommends!

Kat introduces us to ‘The Friendship Deck’ in this episode!! “If you are craving more realness and authenticity in your friendships, but don’t know where to start, the Friendship Deck is for you.” She went through some of the cards with Amy to show what it’s like to use these cards to learn more about your friends and feel more connected!!

Amy’s Embarrassing Mishap, Grieving Is Not Selfish, New Beginnings, Stalking Mel Robbins & More (5th Thing) Aug 23, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “just keep swimming…just keep swimming” from Dory in Finding Nemo (a listener, Chelsea, included this quote in their email and we love it!) Amy actually had to apply the “just keep swimming” motto during an interview she recently did with Dr. Becky Kennedy…something embarrassing happened and Amy was mortified…but she had to just keep trucking along (she was geeking out to even be chatting with @DrBeckyAtGoodInside - IYKYK!!!) Amy’s interview with Dr. Becky will air mid-September FYI for those of you that are also excited about it. Then, Amy & Kat dove into some emails: one from Ithzel (a listener that was diagnosed with cancer) updating us that she will be able to pursue her dream more of becoming a CRNA. Chelsea’s email about grieving a miscarrage…we know this is an email that someone else out there needs to hear because it’s never selfish to take the time to grieve and do what you need to do for yourself!! They also discuss Amy doing a ‘4 Things Live’ event and filming an episode of ‘Building Roots’ (Amy’s sister’s show on HGTV!!)

OUTWEIGH: Certified Eating Disorder Specialist & Registered Dietitian, Melissa Giovanni, is our expert for the next 3 weeks! Today’s chat (episode 2 of 3) is about having a healthy relationship with exercise in recovery...for some of us it's hard to even comprehend what that even looks like because working out has been our eating disorder "buddy" for years and years.

Botox & Body Image: Am I A Fraud If I Get Botox? (Part 1) Aug 11, 2022

“Am I a fraud if I get botox?” That is the question Dylan Murphy (@DylanMurphy.rd) has been asking herself the last few months. She helps clients with their body image every day…so she was conflicted when it crossed her mind to get botox for the first time. In this episode Dylan and Amy talk about botox & other cosmetic work from the right mindset → doing it to feel more confident vs. doing it because without it your body image is negative.

The Whisper Method, Best Email Ever, No Regrets, Why Amy Is Headed To South Dakota, & More (5th Thing) Aug 09, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “I am at the age now where I can either do a daytime activity or a nighttime activity but I can’t, under any circumstances, do both.” Just a fun/funny statement that really hits home for both Amy and Kat (ages 41 and 32) because they definitely have to choose whether they’re doing something during the day or at night. Anyone else relate?? Amy then tells Kat about the ‘Whisper Method’ that’s trending on TikTok…and they both whisper their dreams into the mic before Amy shares 4 emails from listeners: Sara, Chelsea, Crystal, and Maci. These 4 emails led us to talking about spreading joy (PIMPINJOY + never suppressing a generous thought), not giving up on dreams, trying things even if you’re scared of failing, and the wonders of South Dakota!

Two Friends Talking: Happiness + Irritability + Shania Twain + Simple Pleasures Aug 04, 2022

Amy's friend Sundi (@MockingBirdOnBroad) is back on! She was visiting Amy in Nashville from N.C. and they decided to take some of their off mic conversations to the mic because Sundi has been feeling particularly irritable and she wanted to know if she's the only one?? Amy assures her that she's most definitely not alone in this!

A few good quotes from this episode:

"Staying positive doesn't mean you have to be happy all the time."

"You're never going to be as young as you are...at this very moment."

"Life is really hard at times...but good can come from it."

They also fangirl over Shania Twain because they watched her new Netflix documentary together and it is so good! They definitely recommend watching that along with another documentary about the founder of Victoria's Secret (Angels & Demons on Hulu). Then Amy has Sundi share 4 things she's currently thankful for (shout out to friendships & the simple pleasures in life!!)

Permission To Disappear, Genetic Testing, Finding Purpose In Life’s Curveballs, TV Show & Game Night Recommendations (5th Thing) Aug 02, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “It is okay to disappear until you feel like you again.” Kat had to sit with this quote for a second because fully disappearing from life and all of life’s responsibilities is not something she would suggest…but taking time for self-care is very important and you may 100% need to step away from life at times to give back to yourself…refill your cup!! There is also no need to force yourself to show up if you don’t absolutely have to…so that is how we are comprehending this quote. Amy then shares an email from a listener whose dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and his particular type got her curious about genetic testing. Shockingly, at age 31, her tests revealed she does in fact have cancer. Our hearts are heavy for this listener…but we hope her email will motivate us all to be proactive with our bodies and that we’ll be encouraged by her mindset. She shared that she's not a big believer in “everything happens for a reason,” but she very much appreciates what Donald Miller taught us in a previous episode when facing challenges: “What is this preparing me for?” Amy & Kat also share what self-care looks like for them, what TV shows they’re loving right now, and some fun game recommendations…because everyone needs a good game night from time to time!!

How To Know If You Have An Eating Disorder + Questions to Consider When Thinking About Body Image with Ashley Vicari (Outweigh) Jul 30, 2022

OUTWEIGH: For this chat with licensed therapist Ashley Vicari (episode 3 of 3 with her), Amy and Ashley talk about identifying whether or not you have an eating disorder or body image issues. *Most* eating disorder diagnoses share a common basis surrounding body image: an over-evaluation of shape and weight (meaning that someone with an eating disorder tends to put a lot of their eggs into the body image basket, so much so that it impairs their everyday lives!!)

Ashley also shares with us '10 Questions to Consider When Thinking About Body Image' and breaks down each question further inside the episode:

-What are my body rules?
-Where did these rules come from?
-What function do these rules serve for me? Are they keeping me safe? Hidden?
-Can I practice non-judgement when looking at or thinking about my body?
-Am I able to see the purpose my arms, legs, stomach, etc. serves?
-Even if I do not like my body, what would respecting my body look like?
-Do I plan on living with my body rules all my life?
-How would my life be different if I respected my body?
-What matters most to me outside of my size, weight, and/or appearance?
-What role does the media or social media play in the way I view my body and what steps can I take to reduce or eliminate the harm of these images or messages?

Lunchbox, Amy, & Robin Roberts Share Their Gratitude + Holding On Too Tightly + The Butterfly Analogy + Relationship Advice Jul 28, 2022

Lunchbox joins Amy for a little intro chat before she gets into the 4 THINGS for this episode. It’s “OG” style with 4 totally different topics. Hope you enjoy it!

FIRST THING:

Can we love without attachment? Amy always loves the newsletters her friend @LisaHayim sends out. The one she sent this week asked that very question and was helpful to Amy, so she reads the newsletter to you. If you’re holding onto anything too tightly…the premise Lisa wrote about will be very good for you to hear! Questions to ask yourself: “Can we arrive, recognizing it’s not permanent (and let it be!) so we can flow into our NEXT destination when it's time? How much easier would it be then to pivot careers? End dead relationships? Make the needed change in our lives? How much LESS STALE would it all FEEL?!?!?!?!”

SECOND THING:

If you've listened to the podcast for a while, you know Amy is a huge fan of Robin Roberts (she's even come on as a guest before) and this week Amy geeked out when Robin posted about the 4 Things Gratitude Journal that Meri and Amy made to support Haiti. Robin was doing her Monday Motivation post...when she pointed to her "glam fam" in the room and told them that she had written them in as one of the things she was thankful for that morning and she patted the journal on the counter...OUR JOURNAL. So cool! This got Amy thinking about how she often has guests share 4 things they are thankful for...but she doesn’t always go into why we have them do that and it's all based on the ‘4 Things Gratitude’ journal and how we want to encourage you to practice gratitude when you can too! Meri and Amy were intimidated by journaling so they created a journal that is simple and even has stickers & prompts for the days that you might not have words. Amy then shares 4 things she’s currently thankful for! You can do this too…in any notebook that you already have or type it into your phone. If you’re interested in the actual ‘4 Things’ journal that supports Haiti…you can click here: https://www.theshopforward.com/products/4-things-gratitude-journal-2-0

THIRD THING:

Amy’s therapist recently shared with her a quick version of the butterfly analogy...so she googled it to read the whole thing to you. If you're in a season of life that's hard and you wish it would just hurry up and pass you by…this thing is for YOU!!! Hearing this will remind you why it's important to not rush the process!!

FOURTH THING:
Last week our guest was a relationship expert and therapist, Dr. Alexanra Solomon, but we didn't focus on romantic relationships…we got some emails wishing we had talked about that. A couple of listeners specifically emailed in curious about “what couples fight about the most & why” and “the best advice for someone getting into a relationship.” Amy reached out to Dr. Solomon to get her answers to these questions. And then on a related note…Amy shares a list of things people in HAPPY relationships almost never do…listen to see if you do any on the list!

Mountains Are Worth The Climb. Amy’s Salsa Chicken. Necklaces You Need. Bucket List Trips. (5th Thing) Jul 26, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “I know you have a big mountain to climb right now. And it’s scary and intimidating and seemingly almost impossible. But the beautiful irony of this, is that by the end, this will probably have you feeling more alive than any other mountain before this. You are going to surprise yourself.” This led to a whole conversation around altitude (for dummies) because Amy was recently in Colorado climbing mountains. Amy also read some emails from listeners: a couple of them talking about Amy’s infamous Chicken Salsa/Salsa Chicken recipe (this simple dinner ended up being a ‘God tap’ for one listener in particular!!) & another asking about a locket necklace Amy has been wearing with her Star Necklace (both linked below!) Then Amy & Kat shared their bucket list trips!

What To Do If You Think Your Child Has An Eating Disorder with Ashley Vicari (Outweigh) Jul 23, 2022

OUTWEIGH: We're excited to have licensed therapist Ashley Vicari back as the expert with Amy! In this episode (ep. 2 of 3) they navigate what to do if you think your child has an eating disorder. There's a blog that Ashley wrote called: 'Teens & Eating Disorders: 5 Helpful Tips for Better Understanding Your Teen' and Amy has Ashley break it down for us.

As a parent or caregiver, your support is imperative. Below are a few tips you can use to assist your teen as they move through their journey of adolescence and aid in preventing symptoms of disordered eating.
1. Repeat After Me: It’s Not Just A Phase
2. Acknowledge the Pressures of Social Media
3. Notice Their Emotions and Behaviors; They Want You To
4. Get Involved – You Are Their Parent, Not Their Friend
5. Honor Their Bravery and Honesty
Eating disorders are unfortunately all-too common among teenagers. This is partly because the pathways which lead to disordered eating are often far too easy for teens to fall into. As parents and guardians, we must have the tools to recognize these paths so we can offer guidance when it’s needed most.

Mistakes Don’t Define Us. Chick-fil-A Cravings. Family Camp. Encouragement From Our Friends. (5th Thing) Jul 19, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “On the voyage, don’t get too attached to the raft.” Related to that, Kat shares one of her favorite stories about “the log in the water” which is a super helpful analogy that you’ll definitely appreciate. Amy then goes over some listener emails that led to chats about the following things: slip-ups in life don't define you, our chick-fil-a orders, jam vs. jelly, fiction book recommendations, Young Life family camp, kind notes of encouragement, and Kat’s WEIRD hobby of reading negative reviews online.

The problem isn’t social media; it’s the kind of power you’re giving it.

Morning Habits That Ruin Your Sleep Cycle, Things To Let Go of to Be A Happier Person & More (5th Thing) Jul 12, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “Everyone compliments the jumpsuit when you wear it out, but when you get to the bathroom, it’s just you and your choices.” Lol. So true, so true! Amy then shares with Kat a pile of stories she’s saved over the last week about the following things: tips to help you fall asleep, morning habits that ruin your sleep cycle, millions of people hit the snooze button every morning (why science says that’s a problem), things to let go of to be a happier mom (or person if you’re not a mom), and why people are more likely to befriend someone with a similar body odor (shout out to Amy’s fave perfume: Bacarat 540).

Aubrie’s questions for Amy: “What book are you reading right now? Or do you have a favorite book that you would recommend? Favorite Starbucks drink right now? What have you learned most about yourself lately? Will George Strait ever come on the podcast? What would you do to prepare for something like that?” Hope you enjoy this little Q&A whether you listen to it on a ‘Sunday Stroll’ {shout out ‘The Walk Thing’ — iykyk!!} or not! :)

What Works Better Than Dieting + Embracing Your Natural Body Size (Outweigh) Jul 09, 2022

OUTWEIGH: Last week Amy shared that the average adult will try 126 diets in their lifetime. That’s crazy!! This week, Amy focuses on how the diet industry is targeting us (especially women!) and we must be aware of their messaging so we don’t fall for it. So what works better than dieting?? Developing a healthy relationship with food, appreciating what we GET to eat, and not being afraid to eat our favorite dessert or the french fries we love! Focus on adding to our lives instead of taking away from our lives! Easier said than done, but hopefully this episode will be an encouragement to you and will get you one step closer to ditching the diets. A big fear that comes along with that, though, is gaining weight. Amy shares an email from an Outweigh listener that is concerned about just that. Amy plans to have an expert on to dive into this more…but in the meantime you’ll hear Amy’s personal thoughts and this reminder: your natural body size is the weight you are without crazy diet rules & restriction. If you gain weight by enjoying food and eating adequately for your body…then that is the body you were meant to have. We have a choice to embrace that concept or spend our lives fighting it…it’s up to us!

Don’t Miss Out On 95% Of Your Life Just To Weigh 5% Less + Tips For Holiday Weekends! (Outweigh) Jul 02, 2022

OUTWEIGH: It's 4th of July weekend…so Amy took a trip down memory lane sharing ways she used to treat this holiday while living with an active eating disorder. Her life looks very different now…so she wanted to dedicate this episode to YOU living your best life this weekend by giving some tools to take with you to the celebrations/parties/BBQs. She goes over 5 food tips for the holiday weekend (hint: starts with eating breakfast!!!) and went over a list of foods that are bad for you (spoiler alert: it’s foods that you’re allergic to, or have mold on them because foods are neither good nor bad).

Don't Waste Your Fancy. Date Yourself. Cocktail Ideas. Friendship & Fashion. Jun 30, 2022

Amy sat down with the girls from @NextDoorLife, Reagan & Polly (neighbors turned BFFs navigating life one outfit, meal, party & kid drama at a time!)
FIRST THING: How did @NextDoorLife come to be? The girls breakdown how being neighbors & friends turned into a business for them! We love their tips on mixing high/low items to make a great outfit and Polly's motto: "Don't waste your fancy" (i.e. dress up more or use the good dishes from time to time!!)

SECOND THING: What does "dating yourself" look like? Polly loves to buy herself flowers and Reagan treats herself to fun drinks & good chocolate. They also take care of themselves with good boundaries & the enneagram to better know/understand each other!

THIRD THING: The girls share their go-to cocktail ideas and Amy shares her most recent obsession: a paloma (a tequila-based drink with grapefruit-flavored soda!)

FOURTH THING:4 Things Gratitude!! Reagan & Polly each share 4 things they are thankful for!

High Five The Girl In The Mirror, Carrots Are Not Chips, & Asking Yourself: What Does This Make Possible? (5th Thing) Jun 28, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is from a song called 'Winner' by Nicolle Galyon: “high five for the girl in the mirror” (go stream this song asap…it’s so good!) This leads to a chat about listening to albums all the way through & CDs from back in the day! Amy showed up to Kat’s office to record this episode with a lot of snacks…so they do a mini snack review session (where Kat shares that she gets obsessed with bars to the point where she can't ever eat them again!) SIDE NOTE: When saying almond do you pronounce it ALL-MOND or AL-MOND?? (there’s a debate if anyone out there in the world even says it the latter way!) After more snack talk (about how Kat used to pretend carrots were chips) they get into how Kat was able to apply the perspective Donald Miller shared with us a couple of weeks ago for when something doesn’t go as planned: WHAT DOES THIS MAKE POSSIBLE? Also, discussed in this episode (that is heavily about snacks, as you can tell) is the origin of Siete Foods (an amazing tortilla, chips & more company that Amy loves!!), Amy's new found "need for speed," a live podcast tour update, and a new hobby Amy wants to get into!

Responding To Diet Talk + Why 75 Hard & “What I Eat In A Day” Posts Are Annoying + Recognizing A Binge & Shutting It Down with Dylan Murphy (Outweigh) Jun 25, 2022

OUTWEIGH: Advocating for yourself in a gracious way during recovery is totally okay. Amy & Dylan talk through some ways you can respond to diet talk. Also, why do people put up “what I eat in a day” posts?? Our advice: unfollow or mute those accounts…they are not helpful in recovery! They wrap by sharing how to recognize a binge and shut it down. Eating disorder thoughts still pop up in recovery…hopefully fewer and farther between.

Stop Limiting Yourself, Chase Your Dreams, Meet New People, Keep Cookie Dough In The Freezer & Skittles In Your Purse (You'll Thank Us Later) with Sundi McLaughlin Jun 23, 2022

Amy's friend, Sundi (not to be confused with Cundi) McLaughlin, is on to chat about all the things! It's so hard to sum up all that you'll hear in this episode because they go over so much good stuff...just two girlfriends chatting it up about life & friendship over coffee!! In a nutshell though: if you want to chase a dream (and don't know how), want to make friends (and don't know how), need to communicate better (and don't know how), need blush & lipstick...but all you have is Skittles to make it happen (and don't know how), need to make cookies in a pinch (and don't know how), need to kill a roach (and don't know how), have to deal with a military spouse being deployed (and don't know how), want to stop limited thinking (and don't know how) then THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU!!!! Sundi also shares 4 things she is currently thankful for! :)

Taking Care of Each Other, Casseroles, Gadgets for Good Sleep, & More (5th Thing) Jun 21, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is from our producer Houston. It is unknown who first said it…but it goes like this: “At the end of each day…life should ask us: “Do you want to save the changes?’” Amy asks Kat if she knows her neighbors and this led to a chat about a post @JennieAllen put up about casseroles, taking care of others (like our neighbors!), and not feeling like we are bothering people!!!! Amy & Kat also dive into leftover ‘rapid-ish fire Q&A’ questions from last week and they share some good things…including gadgets for good sleep, self-tanner stuff, a clothing subscription company, and more!!

Finding Support & Joy (Even With Food) + If You’re Making Black Bean Brownies, Ask Yourself Why + Guilt Doesn’t Belong On Your Plate with Dylan Murphy (Outweigh) Jun 18, 2022

OUTWEIGH: Dylan Murphy is back this week (part 2) and we’re so excited! Find a safe space to talk about your eating disorder or disordered eating behaviors. Someone that is not a therapist…a friend or family member that is in the weeds with you that can be an ear…but will also call you out on things if need be. If you don’t have a friend you can talk to about this stuff and therapy isn’t an option for you right now…following anti-diet dietitians like Dylan or Kat Defatta because they offer encouragement in their posts and even things that will call you out in a way (set you straight!!)

What are the joys of your life? Are you isolated from them? When you’re wrapped up in an eating disorder…you are likely so obsessed with it that there’s not much room for pleasure in life! Get curious about what actually brings you joy…that will help you unlock what’s important to you and that can help quiet ED thoughts (which occupy most, if not all, of your day!)

Finding joy with food is an amazing thing…but sometimes we only allow ourselves a brownie if it’s made with black beans (while those can be yummy too…what’s your motivation behind choosing to eat them…that is the question?!!)

P.S. You are not alone in any of your ED thoughts!

P.S.S. Guilt doesn’t belong on your plate…just the foods you love and there is more that you are meant to give to the world than counting calories!

Meaningful Connections + Is It Good or Bad For A Relationship to Have a Fight From Time to Time? (+ Tips For Arguing, Lol) Jun 16, 2022

This episode is all about connection & relationships in one way or another!

FIRST THING: Is it good or bad for a relationship to have a fight from time to time? The answer is…good!! So in light of that, Amy shares mistakes you’re making that escalate arguments with your partner/friend/etc.

SECOND THING: Amy is traveling to Southern Pines, NC this weekend to visit some friends that she made in her late 20’s while her husband was in the Air Force. She gives little backstories of how she made each friend (as an adult!!) and then she reads us a newsletter she recently received from @LisaHayim about making new friends (as an adult!!). Amy also shares how people can listen to Lisa's 10 tips and tools to making new friends in adulthood: The Truthiest Life is the podcast + the episode is titled: How To Make Adult Friendships! (linked below)

THIRD THING: Amy received an email from a listener that wants to have a deeper connection with her dad. Amy has shared before that her own dad was an amazing cheerleader in her life and was around for the most part…but never took the time to truly connect with her. He always provided for Amy & her sister (which he thought was “connection”) so at least he was trying. Amy shares the email and then offers advice from her personal experience.

FORTH THING: Apparently now more than ever, we should have a work BFF…it will make us better on the job! Amy shares the 4 benefits of having a work BFF.

Aha! Moments, Mantras For Anxiety, Color Trends For Summer, Yes Days, & More (5th Thing) Jun 14, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is from William Paul Young: "If anything matters everything matters.” A listener included this quote in an email that she sent regarding an Aha! moment she had (saying “no” to something she didn’t want to do!!) after listening to a recent ‘5th Thing’ episode. We love hearing Aha! moments from y’all…it’s so encouraging for others to hear as well. We also share mantras that can help you out when you’re feeling anxious, what sound we would choose if we could only hear 1 thing for the rest of our lives (hard question!), color trends for the summer, whether or not you can buy your therapist a gift, another email from a listener about how she had a “yes day” with her son, and we end with this reminder: “Don’t be a screenshot!!” You’ll have to listen to find out exactly what that means! :)

Change Will Not Happen Unless You Choose It with Dylan Murphy (Outweigh) Jun 11, 2022

OUTWEIGH: Food Freedom + Body Image Dietitian, Dylan Murphy, is joining Amy for the next 3 weeks. We hope today’s chat encourages you no matter where you are on your eating disorder journey. Recovery is hard, but you have to want it for yourself. You have to choose it. Dylan says: “In deciding to recover or walk away from diets, that doesn’t mean you have to feel 100% ready or excited about it. Basically you just reach a point where you recognize the life you are living isn’t the fullest life that you know you could live. It’s hard. But you don’t have to do it alone.” Outweigh is here to come alongside you and we hope the episode resonates with you.

Victim Mentality, Self-Awareness, & Creating a Meaningful Life with Donald Miller Jun 09, 2022

New York Times Best Selling Author, Donald Miller, is our guest and Kat Defatta joins in on the conversation too, as she is a big Donald Miller fan! Amy recently read Donald's latest book, Hero On A Mission: A Path to a Meaningful Life, and asked him to come on the podcast as soon as she finished it! Amy's sister, Cristi, also loved the book, so she chimes in with a question (via text) for Don about procrastination! He shares a tip/trick that works best in his life to make sure he doesn't put things off! Don also breaks down the 4 characters in every story: victim, villain, hero, and guide. These 4 characters live inside us and hopefully we can be self-aware each day to know how we're showing up in the world. Spoiler: Amy feels like she often shows up as a victim and Don talks through that with her! Don also shares his '4 Things Gratitude' with Amy & Kat and gives us a book, a movie, a food, and an instagram account that he's thankful for! You'll love his answers!

A few quotes we love from this episode:

"What big thing is this preparing me for?" - Don
- "What does this make possible?" - Don

Using Breathwork In ED Recovery with Samantha Skelly (Outweigh) Jun 04, 2022

OUTWEIGH: Samantha Skelly, Pause Breathwork CEO & Founder, is our guest today. She shares with us her eating disorder journey and how breathwork led to healing & recovery. Samantha had been on 50 different diets in 4 years, she was always excited about going to bed so that she wouldn't think about dieting & anxiety…not a fun place to be…but so many of us can relate! She then started reading books and listening to people who had gotten past their ED, and then found breathwork, which was the final piece of the puzzle to get her into full recovery! Breathwork can be a great tool for those with eating disorders or disordered eating behaviors.

What To Do When Loved Ones Display Eating Disorder Behaviors (Outweigh) May 28, 2022

OUTWEIGH: Week 3 with Crystal Lunenschloss (MS, RDN, LDN, CEDRD) is all about addressing this listener email that Amy recently received:

Amy, I have a good friend who, pretty clearly, is battling an eating disorder. When we go out to eat somewhere, she often asks the server many questions about what’s in the food and then orders something and doesn’t eat any of it. She makes excuses saying she’s “never hungry”, but I, as her friend, am worried. She is underweight and I have noticed some of the behaviors you have talked about from your days with disordered eating. Do I gently say anything to her, perhaps that I am concerned? Or do I not say anything at all? I just hate seeing her this way and want to let her know that I am concerned, but in a loving manner. Do you have any idea on how to approach her about the situation? I would love your thoughts!!! Thanks, Anonymous (we omitted her name for privacy)

Crystal became a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian to help people reconnect and heal their relationship with food and their bodies and we are SO THANKFUL that she joined us the last 3 weeks with her wisdom. We look forward to having her back on!

What Is Breathwork & Why We Need It with Samantha Skelly May 26, 2022

CEO + Founder of Pause Breathwork, Samantha Skelly, is Amy's '4 Things' guest today and she's here to enlighten us on what it would look like to incorporate breathwork into our daily routines. After a life-changing trip to Bali, where she was introduced to breathwork, she made it her life's mission to teach the world to breathe...and she says that breathwork will be bigger than meditation & yoga!

She even leads us through some breathwork during the episode. We hope you enjoy this and add breathwork to your tool box of things you can bust out if you're feeling anxious &/or stressed.

The Power of Empathy + Are You Oversharing? (5th Thing) May 24, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote: “Power of empathy: I’m in it with you. I’m not here to fix you. I’m not here to feel it for you. I’m here to feel with you and let you know you’re not alone.” -Brene Brown

Amy reads a few listener emails: one about connection & sharing things, one about a co-worker conflict, and another about evolving (which FYI: if you’re not evolving, you're dead!)

Kat gives us something to keep in mind when it comes to what we share publicly (like on social media or other platforms): “There is this culture that our whole lives can be exposed if we want them to be.” (Sometimes just sharing a small detail is more powerful than giving it all.)

Walker & Laney Hayes: The Best Love Song. Blessing Others. Grieving the Loss of a Child. Practicing Gratitude. May 20, 2022

We’re revisiting our conversation with Walker and Laney after having such a special conversation with Walker earlier this week!

Singer/song-writer, Walker Hayes (who wrote our theme song! + the #PIMPINJOY song 'Joy Like Judy') and his wife Laney join Amy for all 4 things this episode. You might laugh. You might cry. The parents of 6 kids let us in on a lot and we are so thankful that they took the time to share it all. FIRST THING: Amy is obsessed with Walker's song “Don’t Let Her”, which was written about Laney. Every girl would love for a guy to write her a song like this. Its genius. Sorta sad. But genius. And very sweet. A must listen!!! SECOND THING: Blessing others is fun. Walker & Laney have been on the receiving end, but now they are on the giving ned. They are paying it forward with their "Be a Craig Fund" that was inspired by their friend (named Craig) that blessed them with a van for their big family at a time when they were financially strapped and they didn't have a car with enough seatbelts for everyone. "Be a Craig Fund" now allows them to pass the blessing of a new car on to other people that need a little help. THIRD THING: Walker & Laney open up about the heartbreaking journey of losing their daughter Oakleigh during birth. They share about how they are getting through the grief process in hopes that it can be helpful to others who may be going through something similar. FOURTH THING: “Life ain’t always pretty, but hey its pretty beautiful thing!” Through the good and the bad...Walker & Laney practice gratitude...so they each share 4 things they are thankful for.

Be sure to check out WalkerHayes.com for his music, more information on the Be A Craig Fund, as well as the awesome merch mentioned in this episode.

Body Image Is About Your Brain (Not Your Body) (Outweigh) May 14, 2022

Never Suppress a Generous Thought + Amy’s Movie Role + Don’t Ever Apologize For Growth (5th Thing) May 10, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “Never suppress a generous thought!” (thank you to listener Sara for sending that). After discussing how we can all ignore simple gestures that come to mind at times…Amy shares emails from listeners: Melissa (about baking with kids + an awesome cake recipe!) and Samantha (about how she did her dissertation on gratitude because of the podcast, which is just SO COOL!!!) Amy then talks about her movie role and read something powerful that @cthagod posted on Instagram:

You’re right,
I was…but I’m not any longer.
I did…but I don’t anymore.
I decided…but I changed my mind.
The world calls it evolution.
The Scripture calls it sanctification.
Another great term for it is GROWTH.
You don't have to explain or apologize for it. EVER

Understanding Hormones & Cycle Syncing With Brooke Rozzie May 05, 2022

Amy's guest today is Brooke Rozzie, an expert in Cycle Syncing and understanding how hormones fluctuate throughout the different seasons of our monthly cycle. If women can understand their cycle and why we feel the way we do during different times of the month, everything makes so much more sense! (It is NOT in our head and we aren't going crazy!) - This is literally our very own superpower that is completely underutilized! Brooke likes to relate a woman's cycle to seasons of the year:

WINTER = Period (end of luteal, start of follicular)

*Hormones are low. Wanting to go internal. Need more rest than usual.

SPRING = Post Period (follicular stage)

*Estrogen on the rise. Energy + Libido increasing. Handling stress well.

SUMMER = Ovulation (end of follicular, start of luteal)

*Estrogen at peak. Libido + Energy is high. More spontaneous! This is the time when you "can" get pregnant and also the time you are most "in the mood".

FALL = Pre-Period (luteal stage)

*Progesterone on the rise. May notice an increase in hunger + sleep. May feel more creative and want to organize.

Brooke breaks all of this down with Amy and they end with Brooke doing '4 Things Gratitude' (sharing 4 things she is currently thankful for!!)

Super Hungry Before Your Period? Here’s Why, With @BrookeRozzie Apr 30, 2022

Our guest today is @BrookeRozzie (nutritional and fitness coach + expert in women’s hormones). Amy asked Brooke to start off with a little bit of her eating disorder story from her childhood and how she got into recovery. Brooke is a hormone expert…so she also shared why it’s important to not restrict when you’re leading up to your cycle…you need the calories! If you’re craving certain things or you’re more hungry than usual during that time…it makes sense…and we need to listen to our bodies! Amy shared her experience of restricting when her body for sure needed more calories and that ultimately would lead to a binge for her. Learning to navigate what eating adequately looks like as you enter recovery is difficult…but it is possible!!

Kailey Dickerson: Articulating Emotions. Working Hard & Connecting With Others. Faith & Her Marriage to Russell Dickerson. Apr 28, 2022

Kailey Dickerson sits down with Amy to talk about all the things: what it’s like being married to Russell Dickerson (who is about to go on tour with Tim McGraw), gratitude, different seasons of life (getting cozy with carbs in the winter + taking long walks in the summer + experiencing anguish after a miscarriage + articulating emotions + helping build Russell’s country music career). Kailey shared her desire to have a podcast (Coffee With Kailey) so that she could connect with more people…on a deeper level than when she’s out on the road with Russell. Speaking of Russell, she talked about their faith, how they got together, wedding details, and building the house of their dreams! Amy wrapped things up by pulling some random “Concrete Conversations” card questions for Kailey to answer!!

Pressure To Make Diet Choices From Social Media & More Apr 23, 2022

Amy shared a rundown of things she saw online this week that were an encouragement to her and good reminders for us all to keep in our back pockets!
Reminders like:

Social media is not a dietitian.
Eat like you won't binge later.
Food is not something that has to be earned.
Compliments that have nothing to do with weight.
Some diet behaviors start off innocent.

Make A Difference. Lifesaving Work For Pregnant Women. Therapy & Manifestation. Not Fitting Into The Box. Apr 21, 2022

FIRST THING: Amy’s dear friend @GracieMoakler came on for an encouraging little chat about how we are all doing things (big or small) that MAKE A DIFFERENCE for others…even though we may not realize it!

SECOND THING: Did you know a simple $30 ‘birth kit’ could be what saves a woman’s life during childbirth in rural parts of Haiti? Amy sat down with Stephanie Caro from ‘Project Medishare’ to talk about the lifesaving work they’re doing for pregnant women, new moms & babies (one in every 80 women in Haiti die from childbirth and pregnancy-related causes). Right now ALL @ShopEspwa items are supporting their efforts & our goal is to pay for as many birth kits as possible…so if you’re shopping for Mother’s Day…shop with purpose.

THIRD THING: We got an email update from a listener that started therapy after listening to Amy & Kat and she shared that it's changed her life…Amy is going to have her on an upcoming episode to tell us more about her experience! This led to a big life update on Amy’s end annnnnnd SHE IS GOING TO BE IN A MOVIE!!!! Did Amy manifest this???? (more details to come on this crazy plot twist in her life)

FOURTH THING: Amy shared something from @LisaHayim that really resonated with her about ditching the need to label the way we think/eat/move and more. We don’t have to fit neatly into boxes…we have permission to explore, to learn, to be, to think, to show up for ourselves without being afraid to leave our “designated box.” Thank you, Lisa, for this wisdom!

Have The Day, Week, Or Month You Need To Have. Do You Spend Your Weekends Escaping Life or Building The Life You Want?? Crema Mexicana, Toast, Walnuts & Carrot Cake. That Costco Life. Some Love For Kat’s Laugh. (5th Thing) Apr 12, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Amy loves Kat’s saying: “Have the day you need to have,” but Amy took it a step further by sharing that she’s having the week or maybe even the month she needs to have!! Amy then read an email from a listener (Ashley) that included a good quote for this episode: "Instead of spending your weekend escaping the life you have, consider spending your weekend building the life you want.” They spent some time talking about that quote before getting into another listener email (from Sierra) about Amy’s obsession with sour cream…she has a recommendation for Amy: Crema Mexicana. This led to talking about toast, walnuts, carrot cake, Kat’s fav biscuit bars, and being a Costco member! This chat ended with a nice email (from Karri) about Kat’s laugh…yay for kind notes!

Amy’s guest today is New York Times Bestselling Author: Shauna Niequist! You may know her from her amazing books like: Cold Tangerines, Bittersweet, Bread & Wine, Savor, Present Over Perfect and her latest book: I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet (which comes out Tuesday, April 12th). Amy’s sister is Shauna’s biggest fan, so this episode starts off with Amy tricking/surprising her sister with Shauna and it’s the sweetest!!!!! Then they get into Shauna’s newest book: I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet...which was originally a family mantra…and a new way of thinking for all of them!

4 things required for this new way of thinking:

CURIOSITY.

COMPASSION.

SELF-COMPASSION.

COURAGE.

Shauna explained why each thing is an important tool. Amy then shared with Shauna something from the book that really resonated with Amy about being easily delighted (Chapter 22: Put Yourself in the Path). Shauna then shared 4 things she is thankful for right now!

Fun Is Good. Things That Get Us Fired Up. Nipple Tattoos. Snail Secretion Face Masks. Nutrition & Infertility. Kat Has a Boyfriend. Shoplifting. Supporting Haiti. (5th Thing) Apr 05, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! They kicked things off with a Dr. Seuss quote: "Fun is good!” and then got into some more concrete conversation cards and answered questions like: What were you known for in High School? What is an impactful book you've read and why? In an ideal world, what is one habit you'd like to do everyday, and why? What is a topic that gets you fired up?" That last question transpired into people that get mad at Amy for supporting Haiti instead of America (that really gets her fired up!!!) More questions: What product is currently your favorite? Amy shared about some snail secretion masks she’s been using lately that are super moisturizing! Other things discussed: Kat has a new boyfriend, pizza toast, shopping at Aritzia (where they don’t have mirrors in the dressing rooms!), and listener emails (one about nipple tattooing and another about nutrition/infertility/adoption). They closed out with another conversation card question: Have you ever accidentally shoplifted???

Eating Disorders & Feelings of Shame Apr 02, 2022

If you struggle with feelings of shame around your eating disorder, you are not alone and that's the point that Amy drives home in this episode! She started off by sharing an encouraging email from a listener named Sarah (who kindly reminded us that we have the power to tune out "disordered talk" so that we don't end up engaging in toxic behaviors that we're exposed to). Amy also shared a blog post from one of our favorite eating disorder therapists, Jennifer Rollin, that gives a handful of compassionate responses to eating disorder thoughts that we might be having. Amy had a lot of shame around her binge/purge behaviors for many years, but now she knows that the more we speak up about eating disorders, the more we can start to eliminate the shame and stigma. Amy wrapped things up by suggesting Episode 95 of the Brain Over Binge Podcast (Creating Motivation to Stop Binge Eating) if you're frustrated that you haven't been able to fully stop binge eating (a place that Amy was in for several months when she first started her recovery journey!)

4 Things With @Mosheh: Want An Easy Way to Stay In the Know Without Watching the News or Getting On Socials? Amy Has 4 Reasons Why You Need Mosheh’s Newsletter In Your Life!! Mar 31, 2022

Amy's favorite way to get news is through Mosheh Oinounou {@Mosheh} so she is very excited that he now has an email newsletter called: Mo News Newsletter!!! It arrives in her inbox a few times a week to help her "stay in the know" with what is going on in the world. Amy shared her favorite 4 things about Mo News Newsletter: 1. He is the best person to follow on Instagram for news...but getting the news in email form helps for the days that Amy is trying to take a break from Instagram/social media. 2. Mosheh has always given us the news in a digestible way & his newsletter is no different! 3. He mixes in pop culture...which is a nice break from the heavier stuff! 4. His Friday newsletters include: what he's watching, reading & eating. Amy has found good shows to watch, articles to read, and snacks to buy at the grocery store because of this fun little addition to the newsletter! They wrapped up this conversation with gratitude & Mosheh shared 4 things he is currently thankful for!

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is from Mark Twain: “Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72.” This led to a conversation about spontaneously being a kid & being told to “act your age” (Kat shared a post that she put up about this and it hit the spot!) Amy then read a nice email from a listener named Blakely that had a request for when Amy interviews Shauna Niequist (Amy shared that she will be granting this listener her wish!!).

It’s Time To Do Eating Disorder Recovery Differently with Kristie Amadio Mar 26, 2022

Certified eating disorder coach Kristie Amadio is our guest today. After 14 years of battling her eating disorder and seeking treatment in both Australia and New Zealand—where she was told she was ‘chronic’ and should expect to struggle with food and body image issues for the rest of her life—Kristie flew to America for intensive treatment and made a full recovery. Kristie was stunned by the gap and unequal access to support and resources both here and overseas, so she resolved to make cost effective support available to everyone, no matter where they lived. By working online and living with people in recovery all around the world, Kristie Amadio is adding a new dimension to the platform used to treat eating disorders.

“All you need is to have the curiosity of what it would be like to not have an eating disorder in order to start your journey to recovery.” - Kristie Amadio

March Affirmations. Numbers. Face Shaving. Protecting Passwords. You’re Not Lazy & Being Busy/Exhausted Doesn’t = Your Worth. Single People & Boundaries. (5th Thing) Mar 22, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Amy’s friend sent her a list of ‘March Affirmations’ and the one for 3/22 (today) is “Even here, I am growing!” Amy also wanted to share a few more: “I will bloom how I was meant to” (3/17) and “I am free to dream a new dream” (3/18). This led to a conversation about numbers and Amy referred to a note she got from her “psychic cousin” about the episode they recorded together last week fittingly being numbered episode #340. Amy share’s some of her skincare routine (per an email) and that leads to the girls talking about shaving their faces! Another listener emailed in asking Amy to share the name of the app she uses to store all of her passwords (a very helpful tool!). Amy & Kat then wanted to make sure everyone listening knows that being busy/exhausted doesn’t = your worth. You don’t have to chase that type of life & that doesn’t make you lazy!!!!!!! Kat then shared something that Shauna Niequist told her that was really powerful for her to hear about being a single person & setting boundaries!

Is Recovery Ever Going To Be Worth It? Hijacked Foods. If You’re Looking For Fear You’ll Find It. Letting Go of an Eating Disorder. Mar 19, 2022

This episode is all about recovery and hope! Being in recovery is not easy and some may wonder “is recovery ever going to be worth it?” Amy is just starting to feel the shift after 2 years of recovery…so she opened up to Kat DeFatta (today’s guest) about the “hijacked foods” that she now feels okay bringing back into her life (i.e. green juice, lemon water, kale, etc…). Letting go of an eating disorder is never easy…but it’s possible…it takes time and hard work…but it is possible…and recovery (spoiler alert) is worth it.

Making space for others and others making space for you is so important! You also need to make sure you're making space for yourself {it's okay to focus on you - which is exactly why Amy's going away alone for her birthday weekend!!!} They wrap up their conversation talking about Amy's birthday wish of sending some love to the orphanage in Haiti where her kids lived for many years. Some concerns have popped up this month regarding security, water, education and certain needs for a few of the kids needs {i.e. new wheelchairs}, so all #PIMPINJOY items and all ESPWA + 4 THINGS items are supporting this effort...all proceeds...per usual!

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! They kicked it off talking about some needs at the orphanage in Haiti that Amy’s kids used to live at & that the Bobby Bones Show is working on a plan to help (so details to come on that later this week!). Amy and Kat then started talking about Stevenson’s (Amy’s son) new obsession: Snoop Dogg’s music!! Amy obviously supports this since Snoop is from her childhood and it’s fun to listen to! They got an email from a listener named Stacy that led into talking about reviews of the podcast/feedback + feeling warm around people (what people make you feel warm???), but they also discussed feeling warm in your pants (iykyk). Next email was from Crystal who asked 3 questions regarding self tanner, ADHD, and getting back into working out!

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! After some Ukraine info & support updates…they kicked things off with some @elarroyo_atx sign quotes (always the best when you need a good laugh) which led to talking about early morning meet ups on Saturdays and how media consumption is totally different for “kids these days”. Amy had to explain to Kat how a pager used to work back in the day! First email they got into is from Sarah, who shared ‘4 things’ she wanted Amy & Kat to know, and that led to conversation about several things (including Amy’s missing Texas A&M ring, gratitude journaling, how Kat makes notes in her phone for things she’s thankful for, and ‘ The Doggie Lama’!) Next email is from Michelle, who shared a little bit about her ‘war with food’ and how she’s working to have a better relationship with it. Amy talked about how she eliminated dairy in her disordered eating days and now that she’s allowing it again, she is currently obsessed with sour cream! And more!!!!!

Well, Amy sat down with New York Times bestselling author, Eve Rodsky, and Dr. Aditi Nerurkar {MD, MPH, physician, speaker & correspondent} to talk about just that!!

NEDA Week Q&A Covering: Overeaters Anonymous + Vyvanse for BED + What To Do When Stressed & Want To Engage In Eating Disorder Behavior Feb 26, 2022

It is 'National Eating Disorder Awareness' Week. NEDA Week helps spread awareness, reduces the stigma, and educates others about eating disorders, so Amy (@RadioAmy) sat down with Kat Defatta (@Kat.Defatta), a licensed therapist that specializes in eating disorders, to do just that by answering some questions on the topic. In this episode you will hear their thoughts (personally and professionally) on OA (overeaters anonymous), using Vyvanse for BED (binge eating disorder), and what to do when you are over stressed and want to engage in a maladaptive coping skill or eating disorder behavior. Both Amy and Kat want you to know that you are not alone and help is available. To spread that message we just have to start talking about it more. Visit NEDA.ORG to find more resources that can help guide you or a loved one on a path that can lead to a life of recovery.

Signs Your Relationship With Food & Body Image Needs Support. Commenting On Bodies. Tips For Traveling In Eating Disorder Recovery. The Mindset Needed To Give Up Dieting. Feb 24, 2022

Being that it's National Eating Disorders Awareness Week...this week's 4 things will be focused on bringing awareness to eating disorders and hopefully provide some hope and support to those affected by eating disorders. This topic is important to Amy because she spent much of her life with an eating disorder and didn't think recovery was possible. Now in recovery for over 2 years now, she wants the same for others. So today she shares 4 things from 4 different resources that have been helpful in her recovery so you'll know about them. FIRST THING: Amy shared a blog post that TheWellful.com put up sharing some signs that it's time to get support for your relationship with food and body image. She loves following @TheWellful on Instagram and we recommend you do the same! The account is run by Brenna O’Malley, RD; a Virtual Anti-Diet Dietitian offering Intuitive Eating & Body Image support!!! SECOND THING: Amy read an email that she got from an ‘Outweigh Podcast’ listener (a podcast she co-hosts with @LisaHayim that comes out every Saturday). Amy wanted to share this note as a reminder to stop commenting on people's bodies and to remind you that OUTWEIGH can be a tool in your toolbox to offer a little support! The email is titled: Co-worker Comment Alert!, so make sure to listen to this so you don’t end up being THAT type of co-worker! THIRD THING: Another person that has been a great resource for Amy during recovery is @Jennifer_Rollin! She is an Eating Disorder Therapist, author of ‘The Inside Scoop on ED Recovery’ and founder of @theeatingdisordercenter! Jennifer shared some tips for traveling in eating disorder recovery and since spring break will be here soon...these tips might come in handy or maybe you even keep them in mind if you're not traveling until the summer. OR maybe you have no travel plans at all....these are still helpful tips that can be applied to everyday life at home! FOURTH THING: The final resource Amy shared with you is Kathryn Hansen's website: BrainOverBinge.com. There you'll find her blog posts, links to her podcast and you can see more about her book (there's even a recovery/study guide option to go along with the book). The Brain Over Binge book was huge for Amy in the early stages of her recovery! She read the book and then did some ‘Fork the Noise’ courses with Lisa and finally built those new neural pathways helping keep her on track. Amy also gets Kathryn's ‘Brain Over Binge’ newsletters (which are normally short and to the point, offering that right amount of encouragement), so she shared one of those with us today on the mindset you need to give up dieting!

Stop Saying Sorry. Impacting Others. Cultish. The Walk Thing. (5th Thing) Feb 22, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! This episode’s quote about working mom guilt led to a whole conversation about our responsibility to use our words wisely around kids because they are listening…whether it’s apologizing for working (which you don’t have to do) or speaking negatively about your body or expressing food guilt…if kids don’t hear us say it...they won’t have the need to apologize for such things when they are adults. Kat and Amy also talked about women apologizing too much in general…so let’s stop saying sorry if it’s not actually something we need to be sorry for! Other topics from today’s chat include an update on the kid Amy mentored over 10 years ago (a listener found him!!!), impacting others, the book Cultish and a new bonus episode that is coming soon called ‘The Walk Thing.’

“Think Before You Post” Pledge. Technology Contract For Kids. Expectations & Prevention. Gratitude. Feb 10, 2022

Founder of Shape the Sky, Ryan Klingensmith, is on to talk about the Technology Contract he created for parents to use with their kids. FIRST THING: Amy and Ryan talked about the “Think Before You Post” Pledge. Kari Ann Leventopoulos is the kid behind this pledge and she started it because “kids are becoming unhealthy and addicted to their smartphones.” SECOND THING: Having a conversation with your child about the Technology Contract (linked below) is the first step in the process, so Ryan walks us through what that talk looks like (this part is included in the actual contract, so no need to take notes! It prints out with the contract...making it very easy to have the conversation!) THIRD THING: Ryan goes over the terms of the contract! If your children have smartphones, it’s important that they sign this contract to set guidelines and expectations for safe smartphone and social media use. FOURTH THING: Ryan shared 4 things he is thankful for (tv show, book, instagram follow & drink).

Can Running A Marathon Be Healthy? Jan 29, 2022

Michelle Pillepich is a Registered Dietitian AND personal trainer who knows that exercise (even intense exercise!) CAN be JUST AS healthy for the mind and body as gentle movement. This year, she ran the New York City Marathon– but she shied away from showing it on her social media channels. With some reflection, she realized that it’s important for people to know that YOU CAN RECOVER and ALSO do “intense exercise.” She never restricted, didn’t beat herself up over the number, and honored her body along the way. We also cover the different levels of treatment available for eating disorders and the benefits of group coaching.

Morning Habits. Mini Book Club. Teen Slang. The Pod Club. Jan 20, 2022

Amy’s sister, @CristiDozier, joined for the first 3 things!! FIRST THING: Amy shared a list of morning habits that doctors & psychologists wish we would do and then asked Cristi to share her morning routine!! From making our beds to practicing gratitude…what is something you do every morning that sets your day up for success?? SECOND THING: Cristi is obsessed with Donald Miller’s new book: Hero on a Mission so she gave her little pitch on WHY we all need to read it (or listen to it) ASAP. Amy then recommended Katie Couric’s book: Going There. It’s inspiring her to think about certain dreams/goals and giving herself permission to explore them at 40-years-old. THIRD THING: Parent’s Magazine put out a list of “teen slang,” so Amy gave Cristi a quiz to see if she’s up to speed on communicating with her 4 kids. FOURTH THING: Amy’s friend, Jo Piazza, is back on to talk about her new podcast: The Pod Club. It’s a new weekly show bringing recommendations from podcast insiders on what you should be listening to next.

Being Kind Is Contagious. So Is the Lack of Being Kind. (5th Thing) Jan 18, 2022

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! An email from Aimee in Indianapolis started off today's chat because the encouragement she shared is a reminder we all could use: "a little recognition can go a long way!!" Aimee's email also included a saying from Vince Lombardi that was used as the quote for this episode: "Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence." Amy & Kat then decided that "being kind" could replace "confidence" and that would fit perfectly for today's convo too: "Being kind is contagious. So is the lack of being kind." Another email we shared came from Kristy in Saratoga and she asked for quick/easy/healthy dinner ideas for busy weeknights...so Amy and Kat shared a few of their go-to options!

A listener (the one that made Amy a quilt of all of her dad's shirts after he passed away) sent Amy a really thoughtful note about things not lining up as perfectly as we would like them to. Amy wanted to read the note to everyone because it was such a good reminder as we start the new year to have a healthy perspective when it comes to perfection or things turning out as perfect as possible. We also have two guests today: Michelle Myers & Somer Phoebus. They are moms, wives, entrepreneurs, best friends, and co-leaders of She Works His Way - a discipleship community for working women. They also recently co-authored a book together called She Works His Way (linked below). Michelle & Somer shared with us different 4 THINGS they are thankful for (a book + an instagram follow + a tv show + a fave drink) and they also talked about the work/life balance myth...something they focus on in their new book!

Decision Making Tools (5th Thing) Nov 30, 2021

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today they discussed this email about “signs” (when it comes to decision making) that was sent in by a listener: “One way to think about the ‘sign’ is - if your decision is ‘no,’ take a minute to pretend that ‘no’ is your decision. How does that make you feel? Do you feel relieved, at peace, happy? Or, do you feel sad, doubtful, regretful? If you can't decipher how you feel, you could also try to picture your life 1 year (or however long) after making your ‘no’ decision. Do you imagine yourself better off, or not? I thought Kat with her background as a therapist might also have some advice!”

Self Image: From Social Media to Dating Apps Oct 02, 2021

We live in a world that allows us to filter and/or edit any pictures we put up online (whether on social media or dating apps). It can really mess with our self image. If we keep seeing ourselves filtered over and over again...we are going to be disappointed when we look in the mirror. It's okay to want to like what you look like in a picture, but to what extremes are we going through to get that perfect picture? And what if we displayed our personality more online instead of curating a bunch of perfect pictures? We have the ability to create a firm foundation of who we are and why we are online. When we have that foundation...we are less likely to seek affirmation from people on these platforms because we have it from ourselves.

Taking the Path of Least Resistance. Filling Yourself With Love. Choosing Sooner: Permission to Feel Joy. Gratitude. Sep 16, 2021

Serena Dyer Pisoni {author & daughter of the late Dr. Wayne Dyer} is on for all 4 things. Serena & her sister, Saje, wrote a book to carry on their dad's legacy called “The Knowing: Eleven Lessons to Understand the Quiet Urges of Your Soul" and Amy goes over a few of the lessons with Serena. FIRST THING: Serena shares what it means to "take the path of least resistance" & why that lesson is good for us. It allows us to let go of the way we think things should be & gives us the opportunity to surrender to situations in our life, without giving up! SECOND THING: Fill yourself with love is the next lesson. When somebody “squeezes you” — what's going to come out? What are you filling yourself up with? If you fill yourself up with love...then love will come out! THIRD THING: Serena shares what "choose sooner" means & gives an example of what that might look like in your life. Her dad used to tell the story of a man who went out dancing the night after finding out his soldier son had died in war. When asked how he could do it, the man said, “At some point, I’m going to have to move on from my sorrow or it’s going to kill me. I’m just choosing sooner.” The lesson: Have permission to feel joy even in hard times & live your life. FOURTH THING: Gratitude time!!! Amy has Serena share a book, a tv show, an Instagram follow & a food or drink that she is currently thankful for!

Survey Says: We Want To Break Pandemic Habits. We Don’t Feel Like Grown Ups. We Keep Snacks On Hand. We Are Embarrassed to Buy Certain Items. Aug 12, 2021

Leanne Ellington joined Amy for all 4 things today for a variety of topics/surveys. FIRST THING: According to a recent survey 61% of us have picked up "unhealthy" habits that we're trying to break. They include "too much screen time," poor eating habits, and sleeping too much or too little. The good news is that 65% of Americans have also developed a HEALTHY pandemic habit that they plan to continue. These are things like washing your hands more frequently, being better connected with friends and family, staying home when you're sick, and wearing a mask when sick to protect others. SECOND THING: How old were you when you first felt like a true ADULT? A new poll found 7% of us still DON'T feel like grown-ups . . . or around 1 in 14 people. The most common age when we feel like an adult is 18, and the second most common answer was YOUNGER than 18. So a lot of us grew up fast. The rest of the top five ages are 21, 25, and 20. THIRD THING: 69% of people say they ALWAYS have snacks on them when they're on-the-go. Speaking of snacks, if you were a kid in the '90s, you were munching on some pretty amazing snacks. And not all of them have gone extinct. Amy & Leanne go over nostalgic snacks from the '90s that you can still buy on Amazon! FOURTH THING: Have you ever been so embarrassed to buy something that you added other random stuff just to distract the cashier? You're not alone. 75% of people admitted to trying to hide embarrassing items among a larger purchase . . . and 89% would rather buy those things online, even if it was more expensive. The survey asked what items people were shy about buying . . . and it was mostly stuff that felt too personal, or might make them seem unclean or unhealthy. Condoms were #1, followed by emergency contraceptives . . . bed bug spray . . . head lice treatment . . . hemorrhoid cream . . . diarrhea relief . . . pregnancy tests . . . adult diapers for incontinence . . . period products . . . and cold sore treatment.

Grief counselor, psychotherapist, writer, grief advocate & communication expert, Megan Devine {@refugeingrief}, is on for all 4 things today! Megan is dedicated to helping people live through things they never thought they’d have to face. In 2009, she watched her partner, Matt, drown. FIRST THING: Megan shares her experience with grief and how it changed her life & relationships with others!

SECOND THING: Journaling through grief with Megan’s latest book: “How to Carry What Can’t Be Fixed.” THIRD THING: Megan debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, “happy” life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it. FOURTH THING: Megan shares with us 4 things she is grateful for. She also shared with us that gratitude is a companion to grief...not something you can do to get rid of any grief.

FIRST THING: New York Times bestselling author & antiracist activist, Ibram X. Kendi {@ibramxk}, talked with Amy about his new podcast that just launched called “Be Antiracist.” Ibram is all about freeing humanity from racism & we hope you enjoy today’s chat. SECOND THING: Amy shares a “Tell Me Something Good” story about a 94-year-old Alabama grandmother that got to try on a wedding dress 70 years AFTER her big day. In 1952 when she got married, black women weren’t allowed in bridal shops, so she never got to have that experience. THIRD THING: @TheShopForward has an ‘Ally Fund’ and ALL proceeds from each item are donated to organizations fighting racial injustice in all forms. As Angela Davis said, "it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be antiracist." We will continue to listen, learn, and stand up against systemic racism. We need to be the change.

It prevents her from accumulating body fat and gaining weight. Her parents were told by doctors when Lizzie was born, she wouldn’t be able to do simple things on her own and live a “normal life."

SECOND THING: No matter who you are, people will try to create their own labels to put on you.

THIRD THING: Lizzie is all about using some of the bad things that happen as a “teaching moment." Many people find it difficult to stay in the moment during conflict. Lizzie shares how she stays the course and speaks truth without allowing the lies to creep in about self-worth. FOURTH THING: Lizzie shares 4 things she is currently thankful for!

Open Mindedness. Imposter Syndrome. Random Recommendations. Gratitude. Jun 17, 2021

FIRST THING: Amy’s brother, David, joins her to discuss Stanford Professor Paul Saffo's “Strong Opinions, Weakly Held” process...which is: “Allow your intuition to guide you to a conclusion, no matter how imperfect — this is the ‘strong opinion’ part. Then –and this is the ‘weakly held’ part– prove yourself wrong. Engage in creative doubt. Look for information that doesn’t fit, or indicators that point in an entirely different direction. Eventually your intuition will kick in and a new hypothesis will emerge out of the rubble, ready to be ruthlessly torn apart once again. You will be surprised by how quickly the sequence of faulty forecasts will deliver you to a useful result.” SECOND THING: Licensed therapist & host of You Need Therapy Podcast, @KatDefatta, is on to discuss “Imposter Syndrome” with Amy. THIRD THING: Random recommendations...a new affordable styling option & new TV shows Amy is enjoying. FOURTH THING: Gratitude!! Amy shares ‘4 things’ she is thankful for and hopes that you’ll take the time to do the same...you can even email her the things you’re grateful for: 4ThingsWithAmyBrown@gmail.com

Happy Birthday Outweigh! This month marks the one-year anniversary for the Outweigh podcast. To honor the moment, we’re sharing the first ever episode of Outweigh where Amy explains the birth story of OUTWEIGH. Lisa and Amy get raw about how language matters, giving details from their own personal lives how intended compliments towards their bodies ended up reinforcing unhealthy behaviors. Lisa opens up with her personal disordered eating story with orthorexia-sharing how it began and hid perfectly beneath seemingly innocuous "healthy habits" as well as fundamental changes she made to overcome it. She also shares her heartfelt letter to her younger self.

We’re joined by our first expert, eating disorder therapist Jennifer Rollin (@jennifer_rollin) who explains what disordered eating is and how you can best care for yourself or a loved one you witness struggling. We'll also have two special guests, Andrea and Claire bravely share their personal stories and powerful letters to their younger selves. Amy closes out with helpful tips to surviving COVID quarantine talk without drowning in diet culture noise.

Treat Yo Self with @lauraleabalanced Jan 16, 2021

In keeping with the theme of discarding diet culture rules, Laura Lea started making 'treat videos' to practice eating and sharing foods that used to be off limits. Her journey to this point wasn't easy, but what food freedom means to her, right now, is this: if she wants something that is conventionally considered ‘indulgent’ or ‘unhealthy’, she has it, she enjoys every bite until she's satisfied, and she doesn't create meaning or stories or value judgments about it before, during or after. We hope this chat about her 'treat videos' and the meaning behind them is helpful to those of you who would love to have cake as you please, even for breakfast!

@wellnessalexis says You’re Too Smart to Diet Oct 31, 2020

Alexis Barber of @Wellnesslexis is 21-year-old Black content creator, and she’s decided that both she and you are too smart to diet.
