Processing Fears Diet Culture Has Given You (Outweigh) Mar 04, 2023

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: Amy starts off with a clip from Kat Defatta's 'You Need Therapy' podcast that went up this week where she processes diet culture and anti-diet culture's wildly polarizing content that has left many of us very, very confused. It's so good!!! You can listen to Kat's full episode called "NEDA Week: Diet Culture vs. Anti Diet Culture" linked HERE!

Without judgment, Amy encourages you to take note of all the fears diet culture has given you about food. Journal what it would feel like to have a drama-free relationship. What would you do with all the brain space you would get back if you stopped obsessing about food? Our desire is for all of us to feel more peaceful around food and our bodies.

This Is Your Sign To Try Something New (5th Thing) Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

“The one who falls and gets up is stronger than the one who never tried. Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying.” ― Roy T. Bennett

Trying something new may:
-Increase your self-confidence
-Open doors to enlightening experiences
-Improve your memory, mood and motivation
-Increase your adaptability and agility
-Also, when we experience something new and like it, our brain triggers a release of dopamine.

Why is it hard to try new things?
-Humans are often afraid of the unknown.
-Familiar things are more comfortable and easier.
-Trying new things requires a lot of effort and courage.

Amy & Kat want to do a “Trying Is Cool” challenge!! Are you in??

Some ideas of things to try:
Bungee jumping
Improv class
Hip hop dance class
Pottery class
Any new habit (daily journal, alarm, meditation)
Going somewhere alone
A tik tok dance
Cooking/baking (host a cooking night at house?)
Cryotherapy
Murder mystery party
New book

Arthur Ashe says: “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

Palliative care nurse Bronnie Ware recorded the top 5 regrets she heard from her patients as she cared for them at the end of life:
•"I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
•"I wish I hadn't worked so hard."
•"I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings."
•"I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."
•"I wish that I had let myself be happier."

You Don’t Have to Live With an Eating Disorder Forever (Outweigh) Feb 25, 2023

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: It is estimated that over 30 million Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime, and something you may not be aware of is that In the United States, eating disorders are the second most fatal mental illness, surpassed only by opioid use disorder. Both of those stats are wild.

It's National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, so NEDA and other organizations will spend the week focusing on people with eating disorders and educating others about eating disorders — both of which are key to change. We highly encourage you to check out the NEDA website for info, tools, support, helplines, etc... It is: nationaleatingdisorders.org

5 Mental Health Self-Help Ideas for you to keep in your back pocket:
-Try Mindfulness
-Keep a Gratitude Journal
-Focus on Sleep
-Soak up Uncomplicated Relationships (for example, your pets!!)
-Tap Into Your Creativity

If you're here because you're curious about whether or not you even have disordered eating behaviors, Mental Health America has an eating disorder test up on their website - the link will also be in the show notes. This test can't diagnose an eating disorder, but it can help you understand where you are. So looking into where you fall with this screening tool could be helpful.

Eating Disorder Test:
https://screening.mhanational.org/screening-tools/eating-disorder/

Sending hugs to everyone. You are not alone. And we hope you get the support you need!

Get a Grip on Your Finances (Older You Will Be Thankful) Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

Amy shuts down when it comes to finances, so she was excited for this chat with personal finance expert Paco de Leon. They talk about the roots of our financial fears, money saving tips, why it feels so good to spend money, joint accounts vs. separate accounts in relationships, emergency funds and so much more!! Changing your relationship with money starts by first examining your thoughts, beliefs, biases, and emotions around money. Paco believes you can’t change your relationship with money until you acknowledge the role those things have played on your views and beliefs on money. Paco, the author of Finance for the People: Getting a Grip on Your Finances and host of ‘Weird Finance’ podcast. Learn more about her work at TheHellYeahGroup.com and she is @TheHellYeahGroup on IG.

It’s Okay To Be a Glow Stick. Sometimes You Need To Break Before You Shine! (5th Thing) Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

This unknown quote is so good: “It's okay to be a glow stick. Sometimes we need to break before we shine.”

The Four Agreements:
Be impeccable with your word.
Don't take anything personally.
Don't make assumptions.
Always do your best.

Listener emails from Taylor (about encouragement) and Laney (sharing book recommendations!)
A celebrity once ate potatoes for two weeks straight as they opened up about the pressures society puts on bodies, so this got Amy & Kat talking about all the different ways to eat potatoes, and what their last meals would be before they die??

Speaking of dying…Alexander the Great’s three dying wishes are inspiring:

Only the very best doctors should carry my coffin: To show that even the best doctors are powerless to cure in front of death.

Scatter my wealth on the road to the graveyard: So everybody can see that riches gotten on earth, stay on earth.

Leave my hand hanging in the wind for everyone to see: To show we are born empty-handed and we leave empty-handed.

Let’s Normalize Food Cravings (Outweigh) Feb 18, 2023

Show notes

OUTWEIGH: Do you feel guilty if you crave something? Well, this is your permission to stop that. You should never feel guilty for craving anything. Laura Lea Bryant is Amy’s guest today and she is all about normalizing cravings!! We need to learn to pay attention to our body and what it’s asking for. It’s also important to keep in mind that it’s natural for cravings to ebb and flow…especially if you’re dealing with heartache, grief, loss or stress. Laura Lea explains why we might be craving certain things depending on our situation/heartache + how cooking can be a part of the healing process! Amy shares that she doesn’t like to cook much, but she made soup (chili) the other day and it was surprisingly therapeutic for her…recipe linked below!
