Snacks You Need In Your Pantry. Living Life To Its Fullest. Mental Health Overload. Rules To Live By. Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

FIRST THING: Is sour cream a snack?? Jk jk. It’s not, but it almost made Amy’s list of snacks she’s loving right now because she eats it so much lately. Kat and Amy give you 4 snacks you need to add to your pantry ASAP! Link to the Dang Chips Amy talks about HERE!

SECOND THING: Amy gave more details about her first-ever live podcast event. The night will take you on a journey through 4 questions in search of a more fulfilling, joyful life:

• What does it look like to really live your life?

• What have you not been able to admit to yourself?

• What is the next right step for you?

• How do you want to be remembered?

Amy has been working through these questions herself, as she desires to:

LIVE LIFE.

GET UNSTUCK.

MAKE A MOVE.

SHOW UP.

Get your tickets tomorrow (Friday, 9/23) at www.selectaseat.com/amy for an intimate night talking about living life, getting unstuck, making a move, and learning how to show up!

THIRD THING: Kat tells us a little bit about her latest ‘You Need Therapy Podcast’ episode titled: “Are We Going Through Mental Health Overload with Liz Plank.” And here’s the podcast description: Why does everything seem hard, bad, scary, and exhausting these days? Have we taken "it's ok to not be ok" too far? Are our boundaries becoming too rigid and are we losing the ability to find grace within our human relationships? These are all things Kat and Liz discuss and things that could be the missing piece to the puzzle that you keep looking for in the next self-help influencer, wellness coach, or tiktok therapist.

FOURTH THING: Amy shares a list of ‘Rules to Live By’ that she received from a friend!

-Avoid the need to make others think I am right

-Never give unsolicited advice - it’s always received as criticism

-Don’t look for or expect personal slights or criticism. If I’m looking for them I will find them in abundance.

-Extend love, comfort and understanding rather than demand to be loved comforted and understood

-Always act on principle - not on thoughts, feelings, or even good motives

-Be unfailingly courteous

-The high road is never the wrong road

-Don’t have big deals regardless of how much my ego wants me to believe things are a big deal

-Leave policing and judging to those paid to do so

-You’re already OK and you’re the one that doesn’t know it.

-Figure out what your job is -what their job is - what God’s job is - and let everybody do their job.

Breaking The Cycle & Becoming A Better Parent with Dr. Becky Kennedy Sep 15, 2022

Show notes

Amy's geeking out because she follows Dr. Becky on IG (@DrBeckyAtGoodInside) and her posts have helped Amy out numerous times...so she couldn't be more excited that Dr. Becky now has a book out!!! Before they get into what her book is all about...Amy did a little '4 Things Gratitude' icebreaker to get to know Dr. Becky better (she told us a book, tv show, food/drink, and an Instagram follow that she's currently thankful for...you will love the stuff she shares!!)

Dr. Becky's book is 'Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be' and Adam Grant's endorsement sums up nicely what you can expect from it: "Warning: reading this book might make you a better parent. Whether you're struggling to get your toddler to calm down or your teenager to open up, Becky Kennedy is a fountain of wisdom. She strikes the ideal balance between affirming your best instincts and challenging you to rethink your worst reactions."

In addition to talking about what GOOD INSIDE is all about...Amy and Dr. Becky discuss two things being true at the same time, breaking the cycle, self-care, the importance of repairs, how we define our job as parents, connecting with teens, and more!

More on what GOOD INSIDE explores:

-Prioritizing Resilience over happiness for our kids
-Creating “connection capital,” a reserve of positive feelings we hopefully build up with our children, which we can pull from in times of struggle or when the relationship between us gets strained
-Detecting and reducing shame
-Telling kids the truth and why information empowers kids, not scares them

www.GoodInside.com for all things Dr. Becky...including a link to her book!

Be Grateful Not Hateful + Turning Foresight Into Hindsight + Using ADHD To Your Advantage + Mindful Snoozing (5th Thing) Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is from Dierks Bentley’s latest song ‘Gold.’ The last line of the chorus is: “it might be gravel, but it feels like gold.” Also, if you’re not following @MyTherapistSays on IG, you’re missing out. They posted a meme the other day that said: “when you realize you don’t want to be responsible for anything anymore and you just want to nap and be small.” Lol. Yes, naps are gold!!!

Amy and Kat went over some listener emails today from Emily (she has 6 things she loves about Kat!!) + from Sarah (our new BFF reminding us to connect her with a fellow listener, Ithze!! - we love our community of listeners so much!!!!!!!!!) + Danielle (asked for help because she wants to quit snoozing!)

Also discussed: the new app “Be Real” (trying remain cool by being on this app that all the kids are on), the new 4 Things Gratitude Journal 3.0 that Amy & Meri are working on to support Haiti (thanks to everyone sending us quotes for the journal like this one: “what makes you grateful, not hateful”), living life with palms up or palms open (one of our favorite takeaways from the 4 Things Tim Schurrer interview), a Mel Robbins (shocker!!! haha!) thought on ADHD, and fragmented sleep/what can you get excited to get out of bed for??!!!

Own Your Strengths, Add Green To Your Wardrobe, Put Sunscreen On Your Neck, & More (5th Thing) Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is from Adam Grant: “Downplaying your achievements is not the antidote to appearing arrogant. Humility is acknowledging your weakness, not denying your strengths. Generosity is elevating others, not diminishing yourself. Owning your success doesn’t make you a narcissist…it makes you a role model." Such a good quote and Amy was able to use it to motivate herself before a big meeting this last week (along with the wonder woman pose!) Allowing yourself to know what you know is a beautiful place to be (if you can get there) and we have Jennifer Garner to thank for that reminder!

Other things from this episode:
-PSA: Put sunscreen on your neck!!!
-Did you know that green can make you feel optimistic and refreshed?? Amy shares the cute green blazer that she will be ordering since @NextDoorLife told us that green = refreshed!!
-Can spiders bite through clothing??
-How to set up your “Medical ID” on your iPhone (your watch/phone could save your life!)
-Checking in on your heart rate (and it’s something we should be aware of/knowing your body!)
-Raise your hand if you relate to this: “Don't ever be scared to cancel plans with me. I’ll hop back in bed so fast!”
