From Food & Body Prison to Authentic Self-Love: Suzanne’s Transformation Mar 01, 2025

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: In this special case study episode of Outweigh, Leanne sits down with Suzanne, a woman who spent decades trapped in the exhausting cycle of dieting, binge-eating, and self-rejection. Despite her external success, she felt stuck—knowing deep down that life had more to offer but unsure how to break free from the vicious cycle of food and body struggles. Apprehensive but ready for change, Suzanne took a leap of faith and joined Stressless Eating. In this raw and inspiring conversation, she shares the pivotal shifts that helped her finally forgive herself, love herself, and step into the freedom she once believed was impossible.

Beauty, Healing and Resilience with Meegen Pearson Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

Amy first heard of ketamine therapy while at a brow appointment with Meegen Pearson (founder of beautybymeegen.com) so Meegen is back on the podcast for a heartfelt and honest conversation that spans beauty, healing, and resilience. They both get into their personal (but not expert!) experiences with ketamine therapy and then they pivot completely to talk about how Amy's lack of botox is changing her brows (she might need a microblading makeover!) Meegen also shares her journey into areola tattooing for breast cancer survivors, a passion inspired after her mom was diagnosed and she also urges people to stay aware because colon cancer took her dad from her far too soon (early detection is everything!)

For more information about Meegen’s work, including microblading, lip blushing, and areola tattooing, visit beautybymeegen.com or @beauty.by.meegen on IG.

A listener sent in a segment idea: "Things that are saving my life right now” (thanks Melissa!!) so Amy and Kat shared some stuff they’re loving at the moment! This is the main focus of the episode, but they do get into other things!

QUOTE:
“There’s a study that shows that having a 12 minute talk with a friend can change your whole way of thinking. This is a reminder that I always have 12 minutes for you.”

Here’s the Biopelle Snail Serum (Tensage 40) that Amy’s used for a couple of years that Kat just recently became obsessed with…use code HAPPY for 20% off!

And here’s the Radiance Eye Cream (code HAPPY should work for this too!)

Amy is LOVING this Lift & Snatch Brow Pen (she’s using Ash Brown, but might try out other colors to see if they’ll be a better fit!)

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: The belief that food and body struggles are a life sentence keeps so many women stuck in cycles of frustration and self-doubt. In this episode, Amy and Leanne shine a light on why this story feels so true and how years of diet culture and negative self-talk make struggling feel “normal.” They’ll explore the brain’s role in keeping you stuck and share how small, consistent changes can rewire your patterns and beliefs for good.

Takeaway: Struggling doesn’t have to be your forever story. By understanding how your brain works and shifting your narrative, you can create a future where freedom with food and peace in your body are possible.

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: From constant comparison to impossible expectations, this episode dives into the lie that your worth is conditional—tied to your looks, achievements, or success. Amy and Leanne discuss why the comparison game is unwinnable, how societal pressures keep us stuck, and what it takes to find peace and contentment in your unique story.

Takeaway: Your worth isn’t something you have to earn or prove. It’s inherent and unshakable. This episode will help you shift from perfectionism and people-pleasing to a mindset of self-acceptance and celebration.
