Things That'll Change the Way You Think, Feel & Show Up in This World Aug 31, 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

- Acting As If (special 4-part mini-series that will drop on the 4 Things podcast feed on Labor Day - this coming Monday!)

The Power of Empathy + Are You Oversharing? (5th Thing) Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

Today’s quote: “Power of empathy: I’m in it with you. I’m not here to fix you. I’m not here to feel it for you. I’m here to feel with you and let you know you’re not alone.” -Brene Brown

Amy reads a few listener emails: one about connection & sharing things, one about a co-worker conflict, and another about evolving (which FYI: if you’re not evolving, you're dead!)

Kat gives us something to keep in mind when it comes to what we share publicly (like on social media or other platforms): “There is this culture that our whole lives can be exposed if we want them to be.” (Sometimes just sharing a small detail is more powerful than giving it all.)

Acting As If (New Mini-Series! Coming Soon) Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

Amy Brown is on a never-ending journey of self-discovery – always looking for different perspectives on health, life, and transformation!

This new mini-series will tackle the concept of “Acting As If” – learning to believe the things you WANT to believe and reclaim the reins of the confusing thoughts that can sometimes takeover your mind.

If you're feeling stuck, battling self-doubt, or simply want to take ownership of your life by taking ownership of your thoughts , "Acting As If" is just for you:

How to stop the downward spiraling thoughts from ruling your life
Why your thoughts don’t match up with your feelings
You can't out-smart, out-positive-think, or out-motivate your beliefs
How to work smarter (not harder) to align what you DO with what you SAY

Positive thinking alone doesn't always cut it, there is so much more to it than that – that’s why Amy has teamed up with Self-Image Scientist Leanne Ellington to share a fresh-yet-totally-doable approach so that stepping into WHO WE WANT TO BE… actually becomes possible.

Listen to all 4 episodes next Monday, September 4th for you to listen to while driving home from your long weekend, enjoying your day off, or to download and listen whenever you’re ready for new levels of awareness and growth!

Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time: Part 7 [The Mini-Series] (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) (Outweigh) Aug 26, 2023

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: Yep....it's true! Even the most confident, self-assured, empowered women can revisit old thought patterns.. This does NOT have to mean anything, it does NOT mean that you have backslid or regressed, and in fact, it's totally normal. What matters most is how you RESPOND (instead of react) to those thoughts. And that's why on this episode of Outweigh, we share some very important distinctions that you'll want to keep in mind around this subject specifically.

Amy & Leanne are back again for the SEVENTH episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) where they share their thoughts and takeaways on how you can have BOTH: You can be revisit an old pattern, habit, or circumstance ...AND still be 'evolving' or growing past it (AKA experiencing something that you thought was “part of your past“ does not mean that you HAVE regressed or ARE regressed)

HOST: Amy Brown // @RadioAmy // RadioAmy.com

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

To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....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

Surrender, Know Your Worth & Remember: Every No Brings You Closer to a Yes! Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

After searching for someone to be Amy's right hand for the podcast, she found someone who was literally "waiting for her call." In this episode you meet Haley D & if her story (after a string of no's) doesn't give you hope that there's a yes around the corner...well...we don't know what will. Haley D. has a very interesting life & we look forward to getting to know more about her.

THINGS DISCUSSED WITH HALEY D:

-If you're getting no after no right now...let her story be hope for you

-BravoCon & her theory on Andy + John Mayer

-American Idol (she tried out for it 10 years ago & made it to Hollywood)

-She had a hysterectomy at 33 (hormones, rage, etc...)

-There will be a future episode with her on postpartum

-Mississippi to Nashville for a new life!

-4 Things Gratitude

-Why she walks in silence or with a friend (it's therapeutic, yes, but it's more to do with her new TrueCrime obsession that now has her paranoid)

-Therapy / Knowing Your Worth-Acting As If (special 4 part series coming up!!)

-& MORE

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

How Keanu Reeves Protects His Peace & More (5th Thing) Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

Have you heard of PMDD? Amy was diagnosed with it in college and took Zoloft for it. This came up because last week on Thursday’s 4 Things episode Danae Hays talked about being put on Zoloft at 11-years-old. When Amy got on it in college it totally changed her personality (for the 2 weeks out of the month that she was supposed to take it), so she didn’t end up taking it too long. Should we be able to take off of work during our time of the month (IF WE NEED TO) without consequences?

TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Confidence is 10 percent hard work and 90 percent delusion. I firmly believe that the number one most important life skill you can learn is how to do scary things scared.” - Tina Fey

OTHER THINGS DISCUSSED:
-The more self-aware you are…the more you realize how much you don’t know

-Mom-shaming, limited viewpoints (mom-shaming examples)

-This is how Keanu Reeves protects his peace: “1 + 1 = 5?? Ok sure, you’re right.” (he just doesn’t want to waste time arguing with people and doesn’t have time for that as he’s gotten older)

-Impromptu actors/movie game

-What are you too old to tolerate? Amy shares a list of things (i.e. standing at a concert, holding pee, waiting in long lines…)

-Share movie recs with us: 4ThingsWithAmyBrown@gmail.com

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: Yes.... you heard that correctly. Your life can be amazing, you can be living in gratitude, experiencing joy...AND you can also be coincidingly be going through some sort of mental, emotional, or spiritual [breakdown/breakthrough/existential crisis].

These things do NOT have to cancel eachother out or stay mutually exclusive. But...there are some very important distinctions that you want to keep in mind to make sure that you are leading yourself in the direction of health, freedom, and healing while you navigate this wide array of emotions..

Amy & Leanne are back for the SIXTH episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) where they share their thoughts and takeaways on how you can have BOTH: a happy life AND emotional challenges.

TikTok Star Danae Hays on Turning Childhood Anxiety into Confidence & Comedy Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

Amy’s guest today is the multi-talented content creator, influencer, singer-songwriter, comedian and TikTok star Danae Hays! Danae talks about her journey from softball player at Alabama to social media star to now recording a Country comedy album and developing her own 'one-woman show' with the various characters she's created over the years.
Growing up in Alabama, Danae had a passion for comedy – creating her own Saturday Night Live skits as a kid and being fascinated by video & editing. During the pandemic, she used that creative spirit to launch a TikTok filled with different characters inspired by her life which went viral overnight.

Like many comedians, Danae had some childhood trauma that played a role in her desire to make others laugh. She opens up about anxiety, OCD, being put on Zoloft at 11 years old, conversion therapy, and more. She also shares some very exciting news during '4 Things Gratitude.'

Enjoy this fun chat & have the day you need to have!!
