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

Show notes

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

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

Amy tells Kat her belief that she’s simply not a romantic person…but she wants to be. What does one do when they want to learn something? They google it, of course.

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

Show notes

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.

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

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

Show notes

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!
BONUS QUOTE:
“I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.”
– Joanna Maciejewska

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

Show notes

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.

Between Amy's mouthguard and new mouth tape, Kat's not sure she'll get a boyfriend!

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!)
