Redefine to Align Part 3: How To Redefine 'Stress' (Outweigh) Dec 30, 2023

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: In the 3rd episode of the "Redefine to Align" Series, Amy and Leanne are back to redefine typical definitions of "stress" and the notion that stress is this inevitable and uncontrollable force in our lives.

While stressful circumstances arising is indeed inevitable, Amy and Leanne invite you to break free from the misconception that stress must be a constant companion or a dominant force in your life.

By examining the ways in which our nervous systems become accustomed to heightened states, they explore redefining stress (and how you react to it) so that you can recognize that stress doesn't define you; rather, it's a learned response that can be unlearned. It's about cultivating a new relationship with stress and gathering the tools to help you break free from its grip and reclaim control over your well-being. Only then can you start aligning with the version of yourself that you truly want to be.

Change The Way You Think, Feel & Show Up In The World Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

Amy and her cousin, Amanda Rieger Green, just got back from a restorative getaway trip! It was good for the soul in so many ways: laughter, meaningful conversation, time in nature, Lifetime movies, good food, time to EXHALE & more...

A quote from Rumi that came up on their trip that will change the way you think:

“It's your road, and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.”

In other words, if you don't find the courage to go after what you want in life, you'll never get it. Amanda is personally working through this as we speak!

OTHER THINGS DISCUSSED WITH AMANDA:

- Taking 5 minutes per day to meditate (also loaded on your 4 Things feed today is a free 5-min meditation led by Amanda. Try to do it every day this week because it will be a game-changer!)

- Challenging yourself to feel better & create balance

- Recognizing the call to action and TAKING THE ACTION

- Knowing that everyone is going through something even when from the outside they seem to have it all together

- Taking the word “bad” out of your vocabulary

- The data is in the doing (and you only get data by TRYING/DOING)

- Having courage to look back at your past to move forward

- Forest bathing, grounding, negative ions

- Paying attention to who you can be your best, silliest, light-hearted self around (shout out Danae Hays & Lispy Linda!)

- Therapy & knowing your worth

Listen. Enjoy. Like. Subscribe. All the things. And most importantly, have the day you need to have!

Unraveling Worthiness (from “What’s God Got To Do With It?” with Leanne Ellington) Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

While Amy’s on break, enjoy this episode from “What’s God Got To Do With It?” with Leanne Ellington - part of the Amy Brown Podcast Network!

Leanne is kicking off a new series based on her own experiences navigating "The Paradox of Worthiness" (as she calls it). As in, how do you feel worthy when you don't feel worthy?
There is so much talk nowadays about self-love and worthiness, but the crucial question remains: How do we truly embrace it if all we’ve ever known is the opposite? How do you suddenly feel worthy if all you’ve ever known is feeling unworthy?
In this kickoff to the series, Leanne introduces you to (what she calls) "The 5 Blocks To Love", and how she discovered that when it came to actually FEELING worthy of being loved, that was a really hard concept for her to grasp at first. It felt like something was actually blocking her.
And that's when she discovered that there were "5 Blocks" that were hindering her ability to RECEIVE what was already there, and that this was what was actually causing her resistance. She also discovered that removing those blocks catapulted her ability to connect to herself, others, and God.

You're going to get an in-depth look at each of these blocks in this upcoming series, but first she dives into the fusion of faith, neuroscience, and self-image as a pathway to feeling worthy and putting yourself in the optimal position to remove your own blocks.

Acting As If (THINKING) When Downward Spiral Thoughts Rule Your Life (1 of 4) Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

PART 1 of 4: Are you feeling stuck or battling self-doubt? Do you want to take ownership of your life by taking ownership of your thoughts? If yes and yes, then "Acting As If" is for you! Amy Brown & Self-Image Scientist Leanne Ellington designed this 4-part series to help you shift your thoughts, so that “Acting As If” becomes possible for your brain to adopt. In each episode, you get effective strategies to break free from the grip of negativity & gain insights on nurturing an "emotionally healthy" brain.
In PART 1 you learn:
👉Why "Acting As If" is not a matter of positive affirmations or fake-it-til-you-make it.
👉Rewiring your brain for peace in the chaos
👉Distinguishing the data vs the drama of your situation
👉How to give yourself your own "reality check" to stop the downward spiral of thoughts in your brain.
We can all struggle with downward spiraling thoughts:
"Why did I eat that?"
"Why didn't he call me?"
"Why can't I stop that?"
"Does that make me a bad mom?"
"Why should I bother? Is this just how it will always be?"
Things like "fake it ‘til you make it" + turning everything “into a positive" will NOT outsmart your brain...and there’s a reason why.

Redefine to Align Part 2: How To Redefine 'Boundaries' (Outweigh) Dec 23, 2023

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 2 of the "Redefine to Align" Series, where they explore the complex topic of boundaries— which is an integral part of self-discovery, but also an often-misunderstood part.

While society often portrays boundaries as external limitations imposed on US, Amy and Leanne want to challenge that narrative and unravel the misconception that boundaries are merely external barricades, emphasizing that true boundary-setting originates from within.

They explore the concept that what may appear as a boundary problem is often rooted as an integrity problem, and they guide you to reevaluate your relationship with your own personal limits. This episode was designed to empower you to redefine boundaries not as restrictive walls, but as liberating expressions of self-respect and authenticity so you can align with the version of yourself that you TRULY want to be.

Trading Up: Exchanging External Judgments For Your God-Given Value Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

Leanne is back as we conclude our deep dive into the Paradox of Worthiness. In this final episode of the series, she unravels the concept of "Self-Endorsement" and explores this idea that it's possible for you to value your own opinion of yourself and God’s opinion of you more so (even just a little bit more so) than someone else’s opinion of you. And how THAT can liberate you from the constant need for external validation.

Self-Endorsement is truly about standing confidently in who you are, but more so who God says you are, and seeking approval from God, rather than relying solely on others' opinions. Leanne encourages you to break free from society's definition of approval and external validation, renew your mind, and invite God into the process through prayer.

As she wraps up this series, the invitation is clear: explore a new perspective, be patient with yourself, and trust the unfolding journey of self-discovery as you identify what you need for your head, heart, and spirit.

Redefine to Align Part 1: How To Redefine 'Success' (Outweigh) Dec 16, 2023

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: Welcome to the "The Redefine to Align" Series, a new 4 part series here on Outweigh where we are going to dive headfirst into the transformative journey of redefining typical words or paradigms in our lives that might NOT be aligning us in the direction we WANT to go.

Amy and Leanne are here to help you navigate the challenging landscape of the holiday season, where societal pressures and external expectations often dictate your sense of accomplishment, and this first episode was designed to be a source of hope and inspiration to redefine YOUR own definitions of success.

Their goal is simply to challenge the conventional notions tied to success, unraveling the 'typical' narratives that are tied to success -- things like weight loss, food choices, and exercise metrics -- that often overshadow the intrinsic value within each of us, and take us OUT of alignment.

By examining these subtle yet profound shifts in your mindset, what would happen if you detached from external validations and began cultivating a more authentic definition of success —-- one that resonates from YOU and where you are in your journey? THAT is the journey they are inviting you into.
