A Bittersweet Approach to Life & Living Without Regret Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

Amy’s niece, Adelyn, joins again (ep. 2 of 4) and this time they’re talking about the bittersweet parts of life + living without regret + chasing your dreams + PIMPINJOY (spreading joy to others!) This chat is 2 of 4 that will happen this month and we love having Adelyn’s perspective on life.

Adelyn shares her experience of feeling both the bitterness of her losing her grandma (AKA: Marmie / Amy’s mom) to cancer and the sweetness of the impact and legacy that lives on through PIMPINJOY! Marmie also inspired a research paper Adelyn did this last semester on living without regret because something Marmie realized as she was dying, sadly, was that she didn’t chase her dreams….she didn’t even really let herself dream.

Patriotic PIMPINJOY line launches today! Check it out HERE…everything turned out so cute!!! The Bobby Bones Show partners with Building Homes for Heroes every year to help build a veteran a home. ALL proceeds are donated. Shout out Bobby’s wife, Caitlin, for this year’s designs & The Shop Forward for helping make it all possible. It's all perfect for the 4th of July!

The book that has the quiz Adelyn shares is called Bittersweet: How sorrow and longing make us whole by Susan Cain.

Signs You’re an Open-Minded Person (5th Thing) Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

Amy & Kat go over signs of open-minded people vs. close-minded people and that leads to an unexpected chat about cults. It all stemmed from the quote for this episode: "The trouble with having an open mind is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." — Terry Pratchett

Dancing for the Devil: 7M TikTok Cult (doc on Netflix both Amy & Kat have watched)

Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism (book Kat recommends)

Cultivating Connection One Cheese Toast At a Time Jun 06, 2024

Show notes

Amy has a goal of creating a home that is full of people & connection...where kids & friends always feel welcome. Her niece, Adelyn, joins her for this chat...sharing her experience growing up in a home that was the 'hangout house' and how her parents are very intentional about cultivating a home that is inviting...where people/teens/friends/family feel welcome even when things aren't perfect!

Key Takeaways:

- Listen to Crowded Table by The Highwomen.

- Don't overthink it.

- Relax about stuff that doesn't matter in the big picture.

- Always have a few extra stools to add to the table.

- Be involved, curious, ask questions.

- Serving both sides of the counter!

- Root For Each Other (shout out Root House!)

- No matter what, be welcoming.

- Offer rides.

- Let them make the dang 'smash cake.'

- Have food on hand and a place where people feel like they can hang out....and it doesn't have to be fancy...HELLO CHEESE TOAST!

- Think: sausage on the grill, queso in a crock pot & pre-made cookie dough in the oven with a game of corn-hole and everyone around the fire pit. Keep it simple.

- 4 Things Gratitude.

Adelyn is staying with Amy over the summer to complete an internship for her business degree at CU Boulder, so she'll actually be doing 4 episodes with Amy over the month of June talking about various topics! This is episode 1 of 4. Hope you enjoy it!! Adelyn is trying to get Amy to talk about dating for next week's episode! TBD.

At the End of Your Rope? Don't Give Up, What Is Coming is Better Than What Is Gone May 30, 2024

Show notes

Last week we had Walker Hayes on for the 3rd time and this week we have Steven Young back for a 3rd time. Steven is the Founder of 'Home Street Home' and he has a very bittersweet story of redemption (he was homeless for 5 years and then 10 years ago made a change and started a ministry serving the homeless!) You'll hear some of Steven's story weaved into today's episode, but if you want more of his fascinating life story in full....listen to his 2 previous chats with Amy: ep. 96 (from Dec 2019) and ep. 256 (from June 2021)

The theme of today's episode was a surprise to Steven and it's truly special hearing him share in this way (through 4 different poems/stories....a gift of his that Amy wanted to highlight) and the discussions of hope + healing that follow each one. The 4 poems/stories are linked below if you want to reference later or share with others:

1- May 1st, What Was Almost the Beginning of the End

2- 68 Years of Yesterdays

3- When the Petals Die...

4- That Still Small Voice
Amy & Steven also talk about ways you can support our homeless friends during the summer months or any time of year for that matter. One of the ways won't cost you a penny. :)
