Show notes

The Co-Founder and President of Siete Chips, Veronica Garza, is here to talk with Amy about how she created an amazing brand of delicious grain-free Mexican food from a health based dietary need that she had.

People say not to mix business and family, but for the Garza family their business is their family and we absolutely love that! They live by their core value of “Family first, family second and business third,” and everyone from their customers to their business partners are included in their family. Amy & Veronica talk about all their amazing products and why celebrities are so obsessed with Siete.

Amy and Veronica then talk about how a brand that started with just chips has created such a powerful social media presence and how you feel nothing but love and passion from the company.

Finally, we know Amy is always thankful for Siete Chips, but what is Veronica grateful for?

Show notes

Amy & Kat both share hi/low moments from their lives (and why it’s important for us to bring up the lows) + recipes you need in your life right now + a dash of wisdom for your holiday sanity (you’re allowed to have boundaries even over Thanksgiving & Christmas!) + more!

“When you text your friend: ‘We got this! Knowing damn well we don’t got this and we both need vacation, therapy, a cocktail, and/or a nap!’” - random meme that made Amy laugh (so she made it today’s quote!)

Speaking of needing a cocktail…Kat is bringing it with the best holiday treat recipe. While what she shares is for adults, you could totally make it as a mocktail or do the peppermint rim on a good ‘ol cup of hot chocolate. Recipe is below (along with Amy’s mac & cheese recipe if you need a last minute dish for Thanksgiving!)

Kat’s ‘Peppermint Espresso Martini’ Recipe:

- 2 parts vodka

- 1 part coffee liquor

- 1 part peppermint mocha creamer

- 4 espresso ice cubes (Kat used Trader Joe’s iced coffee concentrate & poured in an ice cube tray!)

- Mix in blender

- Dip the rim of each glass in melted semi sweet chocolate chips and then immediately dip in crushed candy canes!

Amy’s ‘Alabama Mac & Cheese Yo!’ Recipe:

- 8 oz large elbow macaroni noodles

- 2 tbsp butter

- 1 c half & half

- 1 c milk

- 3 eggs

- 8 oz extra sharp cheddar

- 4-6 oz good parmesan (grated)

- 5 slices American cheese

Preheat the oven 350 degrees. Cook macaroni in salted, boiling water for 8 minutes. Butter iron skillet* and spread 4 oz cheddar on the bottom of the pan. Set aside. Mix half & half, eggs, and milk together in a separate bowl. Butter cooked noodles and mix in parmesan cheese. Layer noodles on top of cheese in an iron skillet. Pour egg mixture over noodles and make sure all are coated. Add slices of American cheese and remaining cheddar on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and then at 400 for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

*Iron skillet is recommended, but totally optional. Can be done in a regular baking dish if that is all you have!

How to Handle "Food Pushers" and Unwanted Comments About Your Body (Outweigh) Nov 23, 2024

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: In the second part of our holiday series on Outweigh, Amy and Leanne address a challenging topic: handling "food pushers" and unsolicited comments about your body during family gatherings.

Amy introduces the discomfort and triggering nature of these situations, while Leanne helps listeners understand the motivations behind food pushing—often rooted in cultural norms or personal love languages—and explains how unsolicited comments about weight typically reflect the other person's issues rather than your own.

Together, they provide practical tips for setting boundaries without guilt, offering polite yet firm responses to food pushers and examples of how to address unwanted comments about your body respectfully while protecting your peace.

To further support you, there's also a helpful PDF with scripts and cheat sheets, equipping you with the tools you need to navigate these tricky situations during the holidays confidently.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
