Show notes

Something happened to Amy after she had a really good cry the other day, an epiphany of sorts, and it has her feeling very thankful for everything that led to her breakdown. Claire, Amy's friend that joined in on this episode (who also happens to be a cognative therapist), says what Amy experienced after all of her tears totally makes sense. Amy and Claire talk about the power of a good cry, gratitude, gardening, "spending commandments" from @Your.RichBFF (so you don't regret a purchase), 4 things you can do to protect your summer self-care from @KatieGustafson.co, pre-marital counseling, adoption, @TheNashvilleBeautyGirl (ZO Skinhealth + Biopelle), Stachira running Amy's Instagram account for links, and more!!

The Bobby Bones Show’s Morgan Huelsman on Changing the World, Finding Love, and What’s Next for Her Career Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

Morgan Huelsman, Digital Director for The Bobby Bones Show, joins the show today for a reading!

Morgan is turning 30 and looking for what’s next in this upcoming chapter of her life. Amanda shares insights on Morgan’s perfectionism, recognizing where she can relinquish control and learning how to find the fulfillment, sense of peace, ease and freedom she desires.

It’s a year of decisiveness for Morgan; a time to trust her gut & be spontaneous. Amanda encourages Morgan to lean into excitement, focus on using her voice, and take risks.

Amanda holds space for Morgan to talk candidly about trust issues built up over the years - both professionally and personally.

After being in challenging relationships and having not so great dating experiences, Morgan is struggling to find her person. She opens up about looking for love but having the fear many of us share at some point or another- “what if my person is not out there?” or “what if there’s not someone that knows how to love me for me?”

What’s next for Morgan’s career? Amanda shares some exciting opportunities on the horizon…she’s in her dream job, but what comes next? What does it look like?

Morgan’s fiery grandmother comes through with supportive messages and reassurance that she will help Morgan her person - someone who will finish her sentences and be a perfect match just like her grandma and grandpa.

You Don't Complete Me, I Complete Me (5th Thing) Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

Today’s quote is from Anne Lemott: “Help is often the sunny side of control.” This led Amy to think of a scene from Jerry Maguire: “help me help you.” Kat reveals that she has never seen Jerry Maguire….what??? Amy gives her homework to watch it with Big P. There’s also a line in the movie that a lot of people found very romantic, but it is actually asking someone else to make you happy and that’s not romantic…it’s unhealthy.

ALSO DISCUSSED:
-How to achieve work/life harmony??
-Questions you can ask yourself to shift perspective for harmony
-Amy & Kat’s favorite songs
-Email from Emily about slow blinking to bond with cats…which led to Kat’s second homework assignment: slow blinking to Big P to see if he responds to it like cats do.

Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time: Part 2 [The Mini-Series] (Outweigh) Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: We are back again sharing Two Things that can ABSOLUTELY be true at the same time: You can be on the journey to self-love and self-worth (and not have self-worth tied to your appearance)....AND still care about what you look like.
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--- especially since there are a lot of messages out there telling you that you "shouldn't" ever focus on your appearance or that it is 'vain' to care what you look like.

Here at Outweigh, we love to give a different perspective, and that's why Amy & Leanne came together for the SECOND 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 on the journey to self-love and self-worth (and not have self-worth tied to your appearance)....AND still care about what you look like.

Little Lizzie: Defining Yourself. Bullying. Teaching Moments. Gratitude. Jun 22, 2023

Show notes

Motivational speaker & author, Lizzie Velasquez {@littlelizziev}, is on for all 4 things. FIRST THING: Lizzie was born with an extremely rare congenital disease. It prevents her from accumulating body fat and gaining weight. Her parents were told by doctors when Lizzie was born, she wouldn’t be able to do simple things on her own and live a “normal life." There are a lot of things in this world that people allow to define them (job, culture, age, role in life, appearance, etc.)...Lizzie talks about what defines her and how she encourages others to discover their purpose.

SECOND THING: No matter who you are, people will try to create their own labels to put on you. Lizzie shares her experience with this & how she handles bullying...specifically when a photo was being used of her on the TikTok #NewTeacherChallenge. “If you are an adult who has a young human in your life, please do not teach them that being scared of someone who doesn’t look like them is OK." -Lizzie.

THIRD THING: Lizzie is all about using some of the bad things that happen as a “teaching moment." Many people find it difficult to stay in the moment during conflict. Lizzie shares how she stays the course and speaks truth without allowing the lies to creep in about self-worth.

FOURTH THING: Lizzie shares 4 things she is currently thankful for!

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: Yes.... you heard that correctly. You can be pro body-image (and pro-self worth and body-positive) ....AND still have health goals you want to reach. 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.

Amy & Leanne come together for the FIRST 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 healthy relationship with food and your body....AND work towards the goals that are important to you.

The Best Way to Find Yourself Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

Do you ever ask yourself: “How can I serve today?” One of the simplest ways to get to your highest self (and out of ego) is to serve others. Leanne Ellington joins Amy for this chat and they each share how they have been selfish in the past (and sometimes still can be!) but they both now very much strive for and strongly align with this affirmation: “I am here to be truly helpful.” The desire to give (and not get) puts us in an awesome energetic state that leaves us feeling more full and in tune with who we truly are!

Amy shares 4 quotes about service that offer solid encouragement as you look for ways to serve others:

- “I start every day by wanting more for others than I do for myself. I think that is how God works, and that is how I think we have to work.” - Wayne Dyer

- “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” - Mahatma Gandhi

- “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” - Muhammad Ali

- “Our prayers for others flow more easily than those for ourselves. This shows we are made to live by charity.” - C. S. Lewis

Also, everyone give Leanne a warm welcome as Amy’s new ‘Outweigh’ podcast co-host! Whoop!!! ‘Outweigh’ is our weekly dose of service…we hope you’ll check out our “Two Things Can Be True” mini series that starts this Saturday!! 4 episodes will be released over the next 4 Saturdays. Then there will be a break with some interviews and then 4 more will start in late July.

All Relationships, Regardless of Length, Have a Purpose (5th Thing) Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

Amy hosted an event the other night with Kelsea Ballerini and Kelsie mentioned this quote: “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.” Amy shared it as the quote for this episode and the main idea behind “reason, season, lifetime” is that all relationships, regardless of their length, have some sort of purpose. Kelsea also has a song about ride or die friendships “If You Go Down (I’m Going Down Too)” so Amy & Kat discussed what they would be willing to do for each other…“Goodbye Earl” style???

ALSO DISCUSSED:
- Amy’s story about a worker at her house that made a murder joke (which led to a note from a listener that works at ADT reminding us you can make temp codes for workers!)
- List of smart tips for living alone, but honestly they are good tips for families to implement too! Example: “Say hello + goodbye out loud when arriving or leaving your house as if you’re talking to a real person. That way people don’t assume you live alone.”
- Email from Tiffany about how we don’t have to allow other people’s perceptions of things to rule our lives.
- Email From Heather about Amy’s psychic cousin’s new podcast: Soul Sessions with Amanda Reiger Green
- Amy told Kat about the ‘Let Them Theory’ that was discussed on last week’s 4 things episode

Be Curious, Not Judgemental (Outweigh) Jun 10, 2023

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: Comments like “Eat a burger!!” (when someone thinks a person needs to gain weight) or “Are you really going to eat that burger?”(when someone thinks a person needs to lose weight) are not okay. However, these comments happen (sometimes to often), and how we respond is up to us. Licensed therapist, Kat Defatta, joins Amy for this episode and she encourages curiosity over judgment when comments like this come up. Healthy conflict for the win!
