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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

“I Want to Rip Your Face Off” & More (5th Thing) Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

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!

Have the day you need to have and come back Thursday for the 4 things episode! Bye!!

Oh & check out You Need Therapy Podcast when you're done listening to this!

Big Magic (today's quote was also from page 13 of this book and it's a list of the many ways in which we might be afraid to live a more creative life!)

Tissue Box Cover (this is the cutest thing that Amy only was attracted to finally order because she's sick & only $7.99)

Chic Toilet Bowl Brush & Holder (random but you may need this & it's so good/chic for $12.99)

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

Show notes

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.
