    Podcast Summary

    • Unlocking WorthinessAwareness of personal blocks is crucial for feeling worthy of love. Recognizing and addressing these barriers allows for self-acceptance and the transformation of obstacles into pathways for connection and peace.

      Understanding worthiness involves recognizing the internal blocks that prevent us from accepting love, both from ourselves and from God. These blocks, which can stem from negative self-perceptions, hinder our ability to feel valued and worthy. By becoming aware of these blocks and acknowledging them, we can transform them from barriers into gateways for connection and self-acceptance. This process allows us to experience peace and embrace the love that is already available to us, highlighting the importance of self-care and spiritual support in our journey. Ultimately, recognizing these barriers and seeking divine assistance helps us to cultivate a deeper sense of worthiness and belonging.

    • Holistic HealthTrue health means caring for our whole selves – mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It's about inviting a greater purpose into our self-care journey and breaking free from limiting beliefs tied to appearance.

      Health and self-care are often misunderstood as only physical aspects like diet and exercise. However, true well-being encompasses mental, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions too. It's important to start caring for our inner selves and invite a higher power into our journey. Many struggle to know how to care for themselves holistically or revert to old habits when faced with challenges. This confusion can stem from societal pressures that equate self-worth with appearance. By recognizing this and embracing a more comprehensive approach to health, one can build a healthier self-image and find greater ease in applying self-care as an everyday practice. Understanding the interconnectedness of all aspects of our health can empower us to break free from conventional limitations and foster a deeper, more fulfilling approach to well-being.

    • Health OwnershipPrioritize your personal definition of health beyond body image. Focus on mental, emotional, and physical well-being by creating a self-care routine that works for you. Take ownership of your health journey and avoid relying on external standards. Discovering your path leads to true wellness and fulfillment.

      Start by defining health personally rather than relying on societal pressures like the idea of being skinny. Health is more than just physical appearance; it encompasses mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Instead of using external measures like dieting or workouts that lead to obsession or shame, focus on what truly makes you feel good inside and outside. It's essential to take ownership of your health journey, learning what works best for you, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. By doing this, you develop a healthier relationship with your body and mind, creating a self-care practice that enhances your overall well-being. Remember, nobody knows your body better than you do, so embrace your unique health narrative.

    • Holistic HealthSelf-care encompasses mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Focusing on a peaceful approach rather than societal pressures leads to true well-being and happiness.

      Self-care is more than just physical health; it involves nurturing your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being too. True health means feeling whole, happy, and safe, not just conforming to societal pressures or diet rules. By focusing on creating a peaceful relationship with our health, rather than confusion or restriction, we embrace a more balanced approach. Recognizing our worthiness and God’s view of health can help remove mental blocks that prevent us from feeling well-rounded and content. It’s essential to reflect on how our habits impact our overall health, ensuring they bring joy rather than anxiety.

    • Holistic HealthTo achieve true health and self-care, one must start from within, recognizing our bodies as gifts that deserve honor and respect. This journey involves healing emotional patterns and committing to a proactive approach, rather than relying on quick fixes or external validation. It's about taking ownership of our health and breaking free from unhealthy cycles.

      Health and self-care should align with a renewed mindset focused on honoring our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. It's essential to recognize that real change starts within, and we can't rely on others to improve our habits. By acknowledging that we are responsible for our health, we can shed unhealthy attitudes towards food and our bodies. This is not just about physical appearance or temporary diets; it’s about emotional healing and reclaiming our power. Many struggle with deep-seated patterns, and healing requires a commitment to facing these issues rather than applying quick fixes. When individuals embrace a proactive approach to their overall wellbeing and decide to take ownership of their health journey, they open themselves up to transformation and can finally escape the cycle of feeling trapped. This journey towards health is a deeply spiritual one and demands a commitment to truly honor the lives and bodies we've been given.

    • Holistic HealthHonor your body as a gift by embracing a holistic view of health that includes mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being; take action and rely on God's guidance for true transformation.

      We have a responsibility to take care of our bodies, as they are valuable gifts that should be honored. It's essential to recognize that true health goes beyond physical appearance; it encompasses mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. Understanding and redefining health in these broader terms can lead us to make better choices and avoid the traps of excess—whether through food, drink, or unhealthy habits. The scripture reminds us to not fall into the cycles of gluttony and addiction, highlighting that our well-being affects every aspect of our lives. It's crucial to seek God's guidance in this journey, surrendering our own limited definitions of health to embrace a more comprehensive view. We must take action, let go of the waiting mindset, and commit to becoming our best selves by renewing our minds and aligning our health practices with God’s intentions, thus transforming into the confident and empowered individuals we are meant to be.

    • Self-Worth and Divine GuidanceUnderstanding your worthiness for God’s love is vital for self-care. Shift your focus from worldly views to spiritual insights through prayer, inviting God's guidance into your health journey.

      Recognizing your worthiness of God’s love and health is essential for true self-care. Many people prevent themselves from receiving love by focusing on worldly views of health, which disconnects them from their true self. It's crucial to invite God into your journey for healing and guidance. Seeking a spiritual perspective can lead to a healthier self-image. Asking God for revelation and new understanding helps to shift your mindset. Simply praying for insights on your health and self-worth is a powerful step. With continuous prayer and focus on what is spiritually healthy, you can reshape your identity and learn to care for yourself in a meaningful way. Surrendering to God's guidance can ease the burden of self-doubt and lead to a deeper sense of fulfillment. Radical ownership of your self-care, combined with divine help, sets the foundation for truly embracing your worth.

    PART 2: Do You WANT to Stop Dieting, But You Have No Idea What That Even Looks Like (and the alternative terrifies you!)? Let's Talk About It! (Outweigh)

    PART 2: Do You WANT to Stop Dieting, But You Have No Idea What That Even Looks Like (and the alternative terrifies you!)? Let's Talk About It! (Outweigh)

    OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back for Part 2 of this series to help you understand how to get off the diet roller coaster for good.

    So many women WANT to stop dieting, but they don't know how, or they don't know what that even looks like, because it's all they've ever known.

    So this idea of "food freedom" or NOT being on some sort of diet is not only foreign to them, but it's actually pretty scary, because all their brain has known is what it's like to count, measure, restrict, and control.

    Or their brain knows what it's like to bounce to the opposite end of the spectrum, and end up in an uncontrollable cycle of mindless eating, emotional eating, stress eating, or binging, and they just end up feeling super out-of-control.

    This week Leanne is laying out the 5 step crystal-clear path way to finally STOP dieting without feeling like you're going off the deep end if you're NOT on something.

    HOST: @leanneellington

    To learn more about how to turn off the part of your brain that’s obsessed with food or obsessed with your weight and rewire your own brain for peace and freedom,....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

    Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone + Why You Should Never Kiss Your Dog + Gratitude + Mantras & Intentions for 2024 (the Year of Empowerment)

    Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone + Why You Should Never Kiss Your Dog + Gratitude + Mantras & Intentions for 2024 (the Year of Empowerment)

    FIRST THING: Amy read something special her sister wrote called That Time We Tore Down the Fence. Loving your neighbors well, getting outside of your comfort zone, and answering dreams, but never forgetting what you have experienced and learned and loved on the way.

    SECOND THING: Taft Hansen (a medical laboratory scientist/parasitologist) is a guest for this continued conversation about parasites. He sent Amy an email after hearing her episode with Katie Decker and he wanted to contribute. They talk about why you should never kiss your dog, cooking meat properly, parasites in the brain and more.

    3RD THING: Taft's wife Morgan joins in for '4 Things Gratitude' and some good movie, tv and book recommendations come up during it! 

    4TH THING: Amy's cousin, Amanda Rieger Green is on talking about how 2024 is the year of empowerment. She released a Numerology Guide Book that’s special for this year (an 8 year, BTW) and people are loving it, so Amanda gave us the details & also shared with us some mantras and intentions that are good for us to use this year specifically!

    PART 1: Do You WANT to Stop Dieting, But You Have No Idea What That Even Looks Like (and the alternative terrifies you!)? Let's Talk About It! (Outweigh)

    OUTWEIGH: So many women WANT to stop dieting, but they don't know how, or they don't know what that even looks like, because it's all they've ever known.

    So this idea of "food freedom" or NOT being on some sort of diet is not only foreign to them, but it's actually pretty scary, because all their brain has known is what it's like to count, measure, restrict, and control.

    Or their brain knows what it's like to bounce to the opposite end of the spectrum, and end up in an uncontrollable cycle of mindless eating, emotional eating, stress eating, or binging, and they just end up feeling super out-of-control.

    But again, NOT being ON something scares them, because when they are not ON, they are totally OFF, and as you can imagine, it's one massive vicious cycle and downward spiral.

    And because this topic truly is multi-faceted, Leanne broke it up into 2 parts. Part 1 is about the mindset and heartset and brainset shifts that need to happen to make the strategy-side-of-things Leanne will share in Part 2 even possible.

    So enjoy this episode, and make sure to come back next week where Leanne is going to break it down into 5 crystal clear steps of what that actually looks like to heal from the diet mentality for good.

    Elevate Your Confidence, Style & Power with This Life-Changing Tip

    Elevate Your Confidence, Style & Power with This Life-Changing Tip

    Amy just discovered color matching & it's blown her mind. Her guest, Hannah Garber (a color analyst) breaks it all down for us. Amy met Hannah after she booked an appointment to find out her "season" (she learned she's a 'cool summer' palette, btw) and when Hannah told Amy her underlying skin tone was one that radiates in NAVY BLUE & NOT BLACK Amy was fascinated! She knew she wanted Hannah on the podcast ASAP. Why are we just now learning about this? In a nutshell, we all have certain colors that give us the power to show up with more confidence and look our best. Everything from the way we color our hair, to our makeup choices, the clothing we wear, nail color, jewelry etc.. 

    Amy & Hannah talk about the colors/seasons (winter, summer, spring & autumn), confidence, capsule wardrobes (imagine if getting dressed was easy!!), the science behind it all, how Hollywood uses color matching for character building (shout out Anne Hathoway in Devil Wears Prada) & so much more (like memories of our moms with their signature lip colors & how switching your mascara color from black to brown is a game-changer or vice versa...it all depends on the "season" that you are!) 

    DM Hannah on IG. She'd love to hear from you: @houseofcolournashville_hannah

    How Gwyneth Paltrow Releases Anger & Do You Rank Your Friends? (5th Thing)

    How Gwyneth Paltrow Releases Anger & Do You Rank Your Friends? (5th Thing)

    Today’s quote is from Ally Fallon: “You rarely know the whole story already – when things don’t make sense it’s usually because there’s missing data, untapped information. Maybe someone is keeping something from you, maybe you’re keeping something from yourself. Maybe certain things are none of your business - and maybe you need to wait a little longer to collect more puzzle pieces.”

     

    What are the facts in the story you’ve built in your head? Practice patience – the other pieces of the puzzle are coming.

     

    Amy & Kat “popcorn” through different topics:

     

    • How Kat’s feeling leading up to her wedding!
    • What’s the right way to order your bridesmaids/groomsmen?
    • Survey: 1/3 of Americans feel lonely at least once per week
    • Filling your cup with connection & community
    • Horrible hygiene habits that are way too common
    • Gwyneth Paltrow uses a baseball bat to release anger
    • Emotional intelligence quiz  
    • Gaslighting and the Keanu Reeves mindset (2+2=5)

     

    Will Amy make 2024 the year of no shoes in her house? Only time will tell :)

    Wishing Kat a happy wedding week!!! Check out her episode about The Loneliness Epidemic on You Need Therapy.
