Hobbies, Red Flags & Why Amy May No Longer Be Datable (5th Thing) Feb 04, 2025

Show notes

Next time something rubs you the wrong way, ask yourself: "Is this a red flag, or is it just something I don’t like?" Amy & Kat talk about how now not everything we call a red flag is actually a red flag. Sometimes, it’s more like an orange flag and it could turn red, sure, but it could also turn green!! Don't miss out on something awesome because of an ick!
Speaking of red flags, Amy also opens up to Kat about her silly personality lately...she shares some very weird conversations she's been having lately and they wonder if Amy will be datable after all of this.

A listener, Melissa, emailed us our quote: “Every time I think I have a new hobby it turns out I just like to buy stuff.”

Here's the Pottery Kit that Kat was talking about!

The Lies Women Believe About Their Bodies Part 1: “I’ll Be Happy When…” Feb 01, 2025

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: The belief that happiness and confidence are tied to achieving a specific weight or size is one of the most common lies women tell themselves. In this episode, Amy and Leanne unpack how cultural conditioning and personal narratives convince us that joy is always “one goal away.” They’ll share real-life stories of why chasing a “goal body” doesn’t deliver lasting happiness and how you can start reframing your beliefs to cultivate happiness in the here and now.

Takeaway: Happiness isn’t a destination waiting for you at the end of a diet or goal—it’s something you can choose and create today by focusing on your inner world and aligning with what truly matters to you.

Lies People with ADHD Tell Themselves (And Why They're So Relatable) Jan 30, 2025

Show notes

If you have ADHD (or even if you don’t), you’re going to relate to Amy sharing "15 lies people with ADHD keep telling themselves" and her personal experience with each lie. One of the lies is about screenshots, so Amy takes a look back at the 6000+ screenshots she has on her phone and shares some that might be of interest to y'all....like this recipe for 'No Bake Almond Flax Balls' she found from 2015:

1 cup of dry old fashioned oats
1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips1/2 cup of natural almond butter1/2 cup of ground flaxseed
1/3 cup of raw honey
1 tsp. vanilla

This recipe reminds us of Kat's protein balls. Click HERE to see her recipe + take a screenshot of it only for it to live forever in your screenshots and not be put to use! Ha.
Hope you enjoy this episode and you can slowly but surely get better at NOT believing these lies. Baby steps though....you don't want to get overwhelmed by trying to change too many things at once.

*The list of 15 lies was put together by Alex Partridge, founder of LADbible and host of the ADHD Chatter podcast! Here are all 15 lies:

- A new notebook will solve all of my problems.
- I’ll take a screenshot and look at it later.
- I need to buy some top tier professional gear because this hobby will stay in my life forever.
- I’ll remember this person’s name.
- I’ll put that pile of clothes away later on.
- I definitely have enough time to buy a coffee before work.
- I’ll just save this to my desktop now and organize it later.
- I’ll be there in 5 minutes.
- I can organize two social gatherings in one day and be ok afterwards.
- I’ll remember to cancel that free subscription before my card gets charged.
- I definitely need all these tabs open even though they are so small I can’t read them anymore.
- 30 minutes, that’s definitely enough time to get ready.
- I’m going to put laundry on and empty the machine when it’s finished.
- I’m going to grab something in the other room, and I won’t get distracted by a side quest.
- This is the last time I will buy another reusable shopping bag.

Unhooking from Unrealistic Ideals: Guiding Teens to Find Their Own Path Rather Than Chasing Others’ Approval (Outweigh) Jan 25, 2025

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: In the final episode of our series, Leanne sits down with Natalie Borrell of Life Success for Teens to tackle one of the biggest pitfalls facing today’s youth: the constant battle for external validation. With social media, peer pressure, and cultural standards all shouting for attention, teens’ developing brains are especially vulnerable to body comparisons, perfectionism, and crippling self-doubt. In this episode, Natalie and Leanne break down how these external ideals can distort self-image and push teenagers toward dangerous habits with food and beyond.

They also share actionable strategies for flipping the script—focusing on inner growth, values, and resilience rather than the quick-fix highs of likes, followers, or fitting a narrow beauty standard. The result? When teens learn to stand in their own worth, the pull to “measure up” fades, and the need to chase approval through their body or appearance naturally loses its grip. If you want to see your teen thrive with genuine self-confidence, rather than frantic comparison-itis, don’t miss this conversation.

Your Teen’s Real Hunger: Meeting Emotional Needs When Food Isn’t the Answer (Outweigh) Jan 18, 2025

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: Have you ever wondered why your teen seems to reach for snacks—even when they’re not hungry? In this second part of our series, Leanne is back with Natalie Borrell of Life Success for Teens to dig into the hidden emotional triggers that push teens toward food for a quick dopamine hit. They look at how stress, loneliness, boredom, and anxiety can morph into cravings that have little to do with actual hunger—and how you, as a parent, can offer them alternatives that truly soothe the root cause.

Natalie and Leanne share brain-based strategies to help teens recognize what they’re really feeling, break the pattern of food-as-comfort, and practice healthier outlets for life’s daily challenges. From teaching emotional awareness to rewiring old coping habits, it’s not about willpower or “just say no.” It’s about giving teens the practical tools they need to handle stress without turning to the pantry. If you’re tired of watching your teen battle silent anxieties that show up in a snack bowl, this episode is a must-listen.
