Speaker 1 (00:06):
Good level. Okay, cats up, little food for yourself life.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh it's pretty but hey it's pretty beautiful, many beautiful.
That for a little more.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Up Man said he can cut your kicking with fouring
with Amy Brown, Happy Thursday. Four things Amy here, and
I've got Cryocat with me. Not to be confused with
therapy cat. Hello, Hello, Cryocat. She's come on the podcast before.
We call her Cryocat because I met her at cryotherapy
yep three years ago, probably.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Because I think you were at the end of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, yeah, And we were at dinner the other night
after we went to yoga, and we were having a
conversation about yoga and how I hadn't done that forever
and you were just in such a great moods. We
were talking about that and the things that make us
feel good and water. I was totally dehydrated and not
feeling great and hormonal, and then You're like, you should
put salt in your water, and I'm like, what, I
(01:12):
do not want to do that. And then we were
talking about mushrooms and adaptogens and habits that we both
had that through off our days, Like I learned something
about kat that I did not know, which I thought
was interesting, and we'll talk about that Costco because we're
going to go to Costco for the cheap car wash
and the cheap gas.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And we went to dinner.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Then we went to dinner instead, but then we ended
up going to Costco the next day. Yeah, gratitude. We
talked about acting as if, which acting as if is
a whole other thing that I'm extremely passionate about. In fact,
Kat and Ben and I were sitting around last night
in the living room talking about it. Kat's son is
friends with Stevenson, so they get to play and then
(01:51):
the adults kind of get to talk about fun stuff
like meditation and acting as If. And Leanne Ellington who
has come on the podcast before and she's an expert
when it comes to rewiring the brain, and she was
the first thing guest at my live Nashville shows. And
we're going to do a whole four part series on
acting as If. I cannot wait. Acting as if you
(02:14):
are already yes, where you want to be as if?
All of this is normal. Of course this is this
way because this is what I've wanted it already is,
and so get excited about that. If you're confused by
acting as if or you want to learn more about it.
And then back to our dinner conversation, I just said, oh,
let's take some of this and put it on the podcast.
(02:37):
Do an episode again. Kat's been on before. I like
just chit chatting with her and y'all getting to hear
some of it. Like Kats, we've talked about cryotherapy and
the benefits and other things. But last week Chase was
here and we're in these two chairs across from each other,
and there's an empty couch and we kind of set
it up for the listener, like, hey, you are here,
join us on the couch and you're listening to two
(03:00):
friends talk. And Jase and I talked about stillness and
the mantrass stillness is my superpower, and it went into
all other things because it's just a friend conversation. And
so you're invited to do that again this week with
cryocat and me.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Welcome to Amy's house, So welcome.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
To the couch, which Kara was on a minute ago.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
She's just precious.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
She was the audience and now she's down at my
feet and she's snoring again. This week. I don't know
what it is about her coming to my feet right
here and then falling asleep with her head on the desk,
and then she starts to snore.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
But I love it because at least she's not well.
I just don't want to people, oh yeah, I hear
the snoring. I don't think that it's picking up.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But I feel like we'll be talking and then people
will be like, what's that no noise in the background.
It's like, that's my dog if you hear that. But yoga,
that's where this all started on Friday night, because you
invited me yep to go, and I've gone to Core
Power before, I have had a yoga practice. It used
to be all I did.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Amy is Advance ANSD plus plus. At yoga, you still
had all your moves.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I probably went a little too hard because that's why
I felt depleted. I think because I was already dehydrated,
and then it was a hot yoga flow, so then
I'm even more depleted. And then they gave me since
I hadn't been there in so long, They're like, well,
I guess you can have a free week again to
see if you want to get back into this. So
I was like, I got a free week. I'm going
again the next day's get our Yeah. So I went
(04:26):
on Saturday morning hot yoga, the sculpt one that has weights,
and I was sweating more, but I was still dehydrated.
So it just took me into like a low and
I was very, very sore, especially after the sculpt one
with the weights, although they tell you to grab two
(04:49):
different weight options, and I was like, I'm just gonna
grab three pounds, but then I ended up grabbing a
five pound ya, just to play, and now I'm paying.
I did it to play, and now my body is paying.
And that leads to me busting out the foam roller
last night when you were here. Yes, And that's like
(05:10):
the most amazing thing ever. And I don't know why
I don't ever use it more.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I know as soon as I get on it, my
back's like crack.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Crack, crack my hip in that part on the leg.
What's your Yes, that hurts so bad?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And if you go nice and slow like you're supposed to, oh,
it's hard for me.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It is heaven. And all you gotta do is buy
the phone roller yeah, for what like fifteen dollars on Amazon? Yeah, probably,
and then you don't have to pay for a massage massage,
because that's what I really am. I feel as though
I need a massage of sorts. But here I go.
I got my phone roller.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I know, but I'm so much better if you massage
me and put that pain.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I can take that.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
But inflicting that sort of discomfort on myself with the
foam roller I really struggle with surprisingly.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Did you hear me last night? Yes, yes, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Like but I was watching you, like, well, she's doing it,
but for me, I'm like, somebody else can do that
to me, but I can't do it to myself. It
just hurts.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I know. I feel like I need some ibuprofen from
two of your car classes, which oh yes, well, CAATs
saying my car because she was looking for ibuprofen earlier,
and I was like, shoot, I have tailan all I said,
But you know what, on the passenger floorboard side of
my car, right behind the driver's seat, not passenger side,
(06:35):
driver's side, driver's side, right behind the seat in the
back seat on the floorboard, there is an Ibu profone.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And I'm like, on the floor She says, yes, and
I'm like, in my head, I totally would have done it,
but I'm like, just one, like, no one is not
going to do unless it was what size are we talking?
I don't it's just so normal standard two hundred milligrams.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Don't know. I probably think I had borrowed it from
somebody else and it was in a little baggie and
it dropped and I didn't know where it went. And
then the other day I saw, oh, there it is,
and I'm like, well, keep it there in case I
need it.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, yeah, and I'm not above it, but I was like, well,
two hundred milligrams probably not going to do, so I'll
just pass today.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Which next time I'm at Costco because when we went there,
I forgot how.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Big everything is.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Jumbo. I'm gonna get a jumbo size ibuprofen they have that.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
They're this big. They're like the size of a Mason jar.
Almost Oh my gosh, and you probably get too.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I feel like they would expire before you could use them.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I got, well, like, I don't ever ever take ibuprofen.
This was like my back was just really hurting earlier,
and so that's why I was like, well, since we're recording,
if you have it, I'll take it to be pain free.
Because we didn't get a freeze today too.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Are you mean right now? What are you in pain? I? What? No,
I'm actually very comfortable. Like it went away.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Remember I laid on the floor, went side to side.
You heard a few like and I feel much better.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, the big stuff at Costco, it's almost like you're
a kid in a candy store. I'm just looking at everything.
And we happened to go.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
At six oh seven, and they like, ladies, we close
at six, but you can go, you.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Know, hurry, hurry, And there was tons of people inside.
But then I was so fascinated with everything, and I
think this man working there saw how I was stopping
on every aisle to look at the massive everything, and
he kindly comes up. He's like, what did y'all come for?
And I was like, well, technically we came for the gas,
the car wash, and bubble tea because Dashiro wanted the
(08:37):
joy bubbles or something. Yeah, and he said, oh, we
don't have any bubble tea now we've been out or whatever.
But yeah, we had a cart full of other things
because I was so excited. And then he.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
We kept browsing and then he comes back to us
and goes, can I help y'all find anything, and we're like,
oh no, because we already knew, like you don't have
any He's like, well, okay, Well we close at six, and.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
So then I felt like we were in trouble and
we rassage received.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
We ran down every other aisle to the register, like.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
We would dodge him, Like I wanted to look at
a few more aisles, and anytime I would see him,
I'd be like, run go that way. And then we
checked out and it was fine, but we were not
the last people in the store, and I wanted to
be respectful of that for sure, But it seemed like
they were fine with us being there. That's why they
were listened. But this man, he was not anyway. Don't
sleep on Costco if you have it near you, especially
(09:30):
the cheap gas. But you have to have the Costco
card in order to have access to the gas. You
can't just roll up kat pipe a credit card.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah no, you gotta have your Oh yes, I don't know.
You just froze kind of a set, swipe the Costco
and then insert your payment.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I just never gotten the gas there. I don't realize
mesmerized how more affordable it was or is gas affordable. No,
it's just it was fifty cents less than I think
what I pay at the gas station or my house
for sure. Oh yeah, so it's worth me driving over there.
It's not that far. So I thought we would do
a little four things gratitude because I am grateful for
(10:09):
that tip shopping well, the gas tip, oh yes, and
the car wash tip, which we were going to get
my car washed, but then Ben was already washing Stashira's car.
His favorite thing to do is wash cars, and he
was over here washing her car, and then he washed mine,
and I was like, well, I thank you. That's very nice.
(10:30):
And I think I've mentioned Ben twice already now, and
some people might be like, wait, I'm confused, why's Ben
still there? But he's here.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We still hang out. We're still oh yeah, we all
hung out last night.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
He is still the father obviously to Stevenson and Stashira,
which someone I did a question box on Instagram. Yeah,
and someone said how often did the kids see their dad?
And I didn't publicly answer that, nor did I even reply.
I did come across it, but I like, all the time, Well, yeah,
we're fifty to fifty custody. But even on the days
(11:06):
that are the weeks that are his, because we do
one week on when week off. We still see the
kids during those days, and we don't live far from
each other at all, and the kids are back and forth.
So that is why you may hear me say casually
that he's here, because I already know that a message
might be, oh, you're back together. Back together.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
No, they have the healthiest separation that I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
So gratitude. I have gratitude for a lot of things,
like been a nice relationship for the Costco gas, the
foam roller. I'm going to start with four things gratitude,
and at the end, when we get done, you can
wrap with your four things that you're thankful for. Okay,
I guess I'll make my first thing the film roller
because I'm really crushing on that hard. Yeah. Like now
(11:50):
that I've rekindled my relationship with the foam roller last night,
I can't wait to foam roll like on a daily basis.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I think it would be a game changer.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I want to do it every day. The second thing
would be my meditation this morning, because it was all
about gratitude. Coincidentally, the mantra was appreciation is my true nature,
which is almost acting as if. Yes, because for me,
I do appreciate things, but for someone where appreciation may
not be your true nature. If you make that your
mantra and you're acting as if, then it becomes who
(12:20):
you are. If that's what you really desire, so I'll
give it to you again in case you want it.
Appreciation is my true nature. The third thing I'm thankful
for is this dip that we found on sale at
Whole Foods, which the only reason why I bought it
was because it was on sale, and it was this
cashew queso dip and the brand is Credo or Credo
(12:44):
I don't know Credo, and it is so good I
don't even know how to explain it. It might be the
best cashew caso I've ever had. Did you like it?
I liked it, but I liked the dip that I
got a little better, which yours was cashua too, right? Yes?
Or almond? Uh?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, you're right. I think it's almond. But it was
called not choe.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Cheese, not like notho not Yeah. The fourth thing would
be my measuring cup that I used to drink water
out of, And why is that?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What's so special.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I love it. I don't love it because it's a
measuring cup. I love the handle, yes, and I love
the spout. Well. I don't drink out of the poory part,
you know how sometimes if a glass or anything is
too thick the rim. I don't like drinking out of
a thick, thick rim. This rim, with the width of
(13:39):
this rim is perfect. I love it. And with the handle,
it's great. Actually, I had therapy the other day and
I it had been a minute, and we pulled up
the zoom and this, you know, the camera clicked on me,
and then there she was and there I was with
my measuring cup. She goes, oh, good, good to see
(13:59):
the men cup still here. There's one thing you're consistent with,
that measuring cup, which is great. I'm thankful for the
measuring cup. But I have not been great at drinking water.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Which is crazy, because that is such a great way
to track your ounces. But I don't always have I know.
That was my next question. Do you travel with it, like,
go to work with it?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No? Maybe I should.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Maybe I should keep one at work because you don't
want that giant one. But you like your little eight ounce, Yeah,
your little carrying measuring cup.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I keep it around the house, but you're right, maybe
I need to buy one for work.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yes, that's what I was going to say, get a
second one.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
And that will help with my new water goal, because
I do have a new goal, yeap, which is like
a cup of water. So eight ounce every hour for
an hour, okay, only for eight hours, like yes, seven
or eight hours.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I want you to be in that sixty to seventy range.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And why Cat's saying I want you to be is
don't worry. Cat's not a trainer or anything, but she's
obsessed with water, like you might be the most obsessed
person that I know with water, which is not a
bad thing. I'm actually very impressed by it. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Way to go good. And I don't even I'm not
even as cuckoo as I used to be about it,
like it used to be the one fifty range, and
I'm like, I'm okay at like a hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And I meanwhile, I'm trying to break fifty fifty ounces,
which is why my goal is seven or eight and
eight times eight would be sixty four sixty four ounces.
That's my goal and that's and I'm gonna spread it
out because you told me about this guy you follow
on Instagram where he said to spread out your water. Yes,
and that's where I got the one cup per hour
(15:41):
instead of I'll be like, oh, shoot, I haven't had water,
and I'll chug down.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
You can't just chug thirty ounces and be like, oh
it's too much.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Right, which is normally what I do, and then by
bedtime it's too late. But I really do feel like
water is some of the reason why I felt so
terrible on Friday and Saturday, like I was low, low low.
I feel like I could blame it on my lack
of water intake, which that doctor is, what's his handle at.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Doctor James d nick d I N I see doctor
James Dinick. I think that's how we would pronounce.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It, yeah, because I think his last name is way
longer and more complicated. But it's just a shortened version.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And he's a no nonsense to the point, pretty easy
to comprehend.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
But what's his thing with like water and like salt?
Because this is what you were talking about it dinner
the other night, with like Himalayan pink Kimalayan sea salt.
But what's his thing with like water and like salt?
(16:45):
Because this is what you were talking about at dinner
the other night, with like Himalayan pink Kimalayan sea salt.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And I've seen him post this for I don't know
how long. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
But didn't you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Always hear like, oh no, sodium, no salt, like avoid?
Is that like a ninety thing maybe?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Or well? I think for some people they do have
to avoid sodium, but I think it's more of a
table salt thing.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Right right, right, But I just but I still couldn't, like, well,
salt in my water. I just couldn't comprehend. But then
as we're talking about this, it's we're both like, well,
may as well.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
No, no, no, you didn't do it yet. I just
did it. No, I'm not there yet.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I don't know because we didn't have salt here.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I also, yes, I'm out of pink sea salt, which
is weird because I put pink sea salt on everything
every kind of way that I make. If I'm making
ghee with grape jelly, I sprinkle sea salt on top.
I don't. I just love a salty sweet situation, which
is why I'm out. And I do need to restock,
(17:45):
but I am not to the point. I'm just trying
to drink water. I'm not to the point where I'm
adding any salt to my water.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
So I guess yesterday before I run, I text you, Okay,
I'm trying this thing. So I cranked a little bit
of it and did ly two ounces because I didn't
want to drink too much before run, right, And I'm like,
that was pretty iffy, and plus I was like, how
much am I even supposed to use? But then today
after yoga, I do keon amino powder and it tastes delicious,
(18:15):
and so I was like, Okay, this is probably the
best thing to put the salt in. So what I
tell you probably four cranks.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yeah, I really think I think you should measure it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
No, I know, I totally should, but sometimes I don't
have the patience. So it's just like, crank, crak, crak crak.
Tried it, couldn't even notice the salt. It was delightful,
still delightful, great flavor.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Welldrugged into Clarify too, because you said before you run
two ounces, you were talking two ounces of water. Yes, yes, yes,
two ounces of salt.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No no, no, two ounces of water maybe a little more.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
But I just didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I had already had my hydration and you know, use
the restroom before I run.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I didn't want to go back to that whole thing.
But he did have this whole post about how the
salt water or the Himalayan pink sea salt in water
cures like all kinds of things like.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
If you're thirsty, drink more salt water.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, hungry, drink more salt water, except for also off
you're hungry, eat well, Yeah, that's true. That's I kind
of wanted to reply to that one and be like,
so what if we're really hungry.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
But here's the one he says, brain fog, drink more
salt water. Never would have thought exhausted, dizzy, no energy,
drink more salt water.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, he's very much about it, and I do think
that his page. I did find it relatable.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Although millions of followers.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
He was talking about you can measure dehydration with your
urine gravity, and I was like, I don't know what
he's talking about. He lost me. He was relatable, and
then now I don't get it, but I googled it
and apparently you'urine gravity you can get like a test done.
It's like a lab resalt at the doctor. So anyway,
like not like I'm ever going to go that done,
(19:58):
but I do you want to be hydrated, So maybe
there is something to this. And I know that we
do need a certain amount of sodium. I just feel
like with all the pead salt I put on my toast,
is that the same thing as putting it in my water?
Oh that's a good question. Maybe I'll send him a
DM and ask him because I know it's it's totally
(20:21):
different than the table salt. Like I got that avocado
toast the other day which was so good. It was
sour dough and avocado, which I've never had this before.
There was honey on top, and this is genius. Yep,
I love it. I love the salty salty, I know.
And it had some cayenne pepper for a little bit
of a kick. And then I took a bite and
(20:41):
there was no sea salt on top, and I nearly
I thought she.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Is such a food critic. It is amazing to watch though.
Like everything she eats, I love to hear the review.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
She goes, well, it just needs salt.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I thought she was going to be like because I
think it's the greatest thing ever. And I thought she
was gonna be so enthusiastic about she's well the salt.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
So by and by food critic, you must mean salt critic,
because that's no, it's other things. There was something else.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh, we had tacos on Friday night and you were like, m,
it's just missing a little something.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Honestly, I think it was missing salt.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Though you said it needs the sauce, like a sauce
that has a.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Little salty sauce. Yeah, a salty sauce if something. So
I needed salt and all we had near us was
one of those little packets of table salt, and I thought, well,
this is going to have to do. And I sprinkled
it on top and it was so good. So point
of this story is, if you're into avocado toast, try
(21:46):
the honey, yes, rizzled on top. Maybe even they make
that MIC's hot honey. Ooh, that's really good on pizza. Yeah,
and it's also really good on like pancakes and stuff
if you like a little bit of a kid like
this morning, literally Stevenson put that on his protein pancakes
that we made him.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Oh, he doesn't mind a little spice.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
No, he likes it. So he made his protein pancakes,
which I was actually thinking about how this morning. Those
pancakes were on my very first episode, my very first
four things. What year was this twenty eighteen, So the
first four things I ever talked about protein, Well, that
was one of the things, and Stevenson came on and
(22:28):
like read the recipe. So we talked about the Superwoman poves,
which do you know what that is? Where you like
stand with your hands on your hip in the mirror
if you're trying to pump yourself up, acting as if
you're already amazing and you've killed it. We talked about
unanswered prayers, We talked about gratitude, but with doctor oz
(22:50):
Oh he was one of the things. And then the
protein pancakes cool, So that was my very first episode,
which the pancakes are really easy to make. By the way,
it's actually coincidentally for ingredients, mashed up banana, which pro tip,
I used to mash it up with a fork inside
the bowl, but now I put it in to a
(23:10):
ziploc bag and it's best to use like a brown
spotted banana because those are sweeter and easier to digest
and stuff so I mash it up and then you
cut a slit in the zip block bag like it's icing,
and then just squeeze it out into the bowl and
then it's already mashed perfectly. Okay, you don't have to
like try to get every chunk with the fork right
and then like scrape it. Yeah, And then you add
(23:32):
two eggs, a scoop of vanilla protein powder, and a
pinch of baking powder, and then you cook them like
you would a normal pancake.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Question, no pinch of pink salts.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I would, but Stevenson doesn't want that. I would. Just
what I would do is when I do the maple
syrup or the honey or so he tops it with
peanut butter and then the MIC's hot honey. I would
top it with peanut butter and maple syrup and a
crank of sea salt. Didn't do that this morning because
out out of it, we're out of sea saw. I
need to get more.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
But and remind me to buy that hot honey.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Mike's Hot honey. Love it so good? Which did you
notice on my kitchen table when you walked in today
that all of the clothes were gone and put away
the laundry. Yeah, because did you see the pile of
mess that was on my kitchen table last night?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I didn't notice the table, but I did notice the
laundry room was very bogged down.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, and it flowed into the kitchen table. Okay, I'm
glad you didn't notice, because it bugs me. I can't function.
I can because let's be honest. I was still functioning yesterday,
but not well. I was irritable, right or.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
But didn't you You tried to give yourself like a
rest day.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, and that's the thing, and it bothered you. I
ignored the laundry for two days. And that's what happens
because other people decide they want to start to do
laundry and they don't finish the process right. They pull
things out of the dryer and then just throw them
on top. They don't fold anything, and by they I
(25:08):
don't know who it is, could be anybody that's inside
the invisible house. Guess I'm not blaming it on my kids,
but or been. But I'm kind of blaming it on
them because I don't know who else it is. But
I'm not here to point fingers. But it was everywhere,
and I had to get it all put away. But
like that's my thing that throws me off. If I
pull something out of the dryer, I want to fold it,
(25:31):
and I feel like I've an underlie there's an underlying
negative vibe that walks around with me until that's done.
And today I completed it and it's done and I
feel better. But what I learned about you the other
night is I didn't know you had an underlying, like
off negative tone.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
If you don't, I don't get up and just leave
the house ever, right, it's no up and out the door.
Oh can I say though about laundry, If you do
just one load a day, it never gets behind you know?
Do you ever do that one load to laundry a day?
Or is it like there's a laundry day.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I do both. There's not one laundry day, but I
feel like I do more loads in one day days
oftentimes it falls on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Well, you have more than I do.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
But even Stevenson, I swear to you, I think it
was just either today or yesterday. I can't remember out
of his mouth because we were in the laundry room
that was having him help me with some stuff. Must
have been today and he said, gosh, this is like
never ending, and I'm like, welcome, yeah, hello, welcome to
how most people feel. I was gonna say most women.
But I'm not putting it all on the women. I
(26:36):
know there's men that do laundry. Bullets, just be real, Honestly,
I feel like there's not a lot of there's Okay,
let me say this carefully because I know there's men
that listen. I feel like there are a lot of
things that would not get done. I'm not talking laundry.
I'm talking oh yeah this time. I'm talking like I
saw things going around on Instagram with the end of
(26:57):
your parties, like all the graduates Wacian parties, the event,
like they everything gets sent to the mom, like like
addressed to addressed to the mom who does all the
birthday present buying, which, man, I know, I'm sure there
are some of you that do. I feel like a
cute disclaimer, but I do feel as though a lot
of times the women are the ones getting all the
(27:20):
things done, like even behind like that you don't It's
like nobody stops and says, oh, how did this get done?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Who wrapped this present? Right? Like? Oh we did? Who
wraps all the Christmas presents, you know, who does all
the Christmas shopping? Who gets all the birthday presents? Who
does the like if it's somebody you know in your
family's birthday or like a cousin in law, whatever, who's
managing that? And I feel as though it often falls
(27:48):
on the woman, whether she's a working woman or at
home with the kids, it still is something that falls up.
But anyway, all that to say, I saw some posts
going around like, hey, be sure to address it to
both parents, like for schools and teachers, like if there's
things you need done, supplies bought, if there's parties happening,
(28:08):
make sure you address it and send it to both
emails if you have them or whatever that looks like
for you. And if you have in your house that
it's divided and conquered and it's said like okay, there's
set tasks. Great, But I do think that there's some just.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
That moms just pick it up right, or women that.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Where it's just like wow, I've never really stopped to
think about how this gets done, but it's always just done.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
And if you're tired of it, maybe try to set
the boundary, like right, would you like this to be
your task, which.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I was just gonna say nine times out of ten,
it's probably the women that are getting it done. But anyway,
you can't leave your house unless you've been up for
two hours.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That's sometimes special occasion could be an hour, just depends
what it is. But I prefer to be up and
moving for two hours before I go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
But why me?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Because my moon is in Taurus and we like slow,
steady start to our day.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Don't rush me.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Nobody rushed me, please.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
But you're also still late to work a little bit.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
But that's because I have a child too, and I
don't think it's fair to him to wake him up
super early for me to be at work on time.
Like you know what I mean, it's I would rather
let him sleep till as close to seven am as
I can. Then it's like, okay, hurry well, okay, I
(29:39):
don't like to be rushed. But then I tell him
hurry up, and he's a Taurus, but I'm like, hurry up, Okay,
you gotta brush your teeth, you gotta let's steal your hair.
But we always have the clothes out the night before
to make it an easier process for him.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And then he goes on his way.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
But then yes, like technically I should probably leave for
work at seven am to be there on time.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I was just gonna say, you must not have a BOS
I mean sends you home if you're late. No, you do.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
But they're pretty flexible and understanding with my situation. And
I mean I also like work late at night at home.
You know, I've been taking my computer home too, because
I think that's fair, like I'll make up for my
but yeah, it's a big ask to get me anywhere
at seven thirty am.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Right, And you obviously are good at your job and
you do your job and you get it done otherwise
than they would probably be like, Okay, this isn't working.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Thank you design Light, thanks for working with me.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Which I just thought that was something interesting about you
that I didn't know, like you didn't know about me
that I get annoyed by the laundry just getting taken
out of the dryer and thrown on top and nobody
folding it. And you get annoyed if you don't wake
up and have two.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Hours do my routine at your house before you.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Get to leave. And probably something that has helped you too,
because I know you've talked about it, but with your
morning routine and setting up your day for six sas
has been your your mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Oh yes, would you like the routine? Sure it is okay,
you know you'll appreciate this. I have stopped snoozing, so
the alarm goes off. Jump up, open the blinds to
look at the daylight like we're supposed to write for
a circadian rhythm. Brush my teeth, turn the currig on,
take the dog to the bathroom so I get more
of that natural light.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Come back in.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Put the little ca cup in there, which right now
I'm on the Bulletproof brand high Achiever with the Lion's
main mushroom in there. Pour in the vital proteins coconut
and cayenne pepper, k kick and then froth that up.
Drink the coffee. Then have an Alpha ten protein bar
(31:45):
which has more you guessed it, superfood mushrooms, which.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Those are the kinds of mushrooms that are going to
They're like the adaptogen mushrooms, and they're on the more
holistic side of things. So some people might be like, oh,
I don't are you sure? But I have used them before.
Certain powders and I notice a difference in how I feel. So,
(32:09):
but it's not anything hallucinogenic.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Although because this is my work routine, Cat's about to
go to work.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
But I do want to do those or try that.
This is a whole nother podcast episode. But the ketamine
or silas saban, you know what I'm talking a, right,
those are the ones for PTSD to help with. Well,
I don't have PTSD, but it's better say they use that.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yes, Therapeutic mushrooms, yes, and they're controlled. You go to
see a doctor, right or a license yes, therapy person
that can do it. I think one of them is
only legal in Colorado and Oregon. But then the ketamine,
I think is legal in every state, but it has
to be under a doctor's right by someone that is
licensed to I don't know they have to be a doctor,
(32:54):
but they have to be licensed to give it to you,
which I would want, like I don't want to just
be set for you on my own with some something
that's gonna.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Take my mind places. But I do have friends that
have done it, like the guided situation or just I.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Guess they are kind of well, people go to foreign countries.
I think that's the that's the other one by Aluasca.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yes, yes, I do know someone that went to like
South America for that. That was on my bucket list.
Now I don't know to do. No, it's like I'm
already traveling to this another country and then you're gonna
trust that you're getting something. Although I do know people
have done it and they said it is amazing, and
it makes me think of a Nine Perfect Strangers. Did
you haven't seen that? Nine Perfect Strangers? Did you haven't
(33:49):
seen that? Oh? It's so good. It was a book
Nicole Kidman's okay, and it's on Hulu because they made
a TV series about good. I have Hulu.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
That's my homework. Okay, I'm an watch it.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Her name. I think Nicole's character is Masha Masha, and
she makes everyone that's a guest there. They get smoothies,
but I think she's micro dosing them or I don't
even know micro she might be fully dosing them with something.
And then they have these eldercinet or the goats to places.
That's when I first started researching it, like where are
(34:23):
the Is this just fiction or did these prices exist?
Because I would go as long as it's I wanted
to be protected, and I want to be with a professional.
I want to be controlled and preferably legal wherever I
am because I don't want to get caught up in
some sort of a My luck is I would probably
go somewhere where it's safe, but hey, it's underground, and
(34:45):
that I would happen to be there the day that
the Feds were rolling up. We can we can plan
a group trip.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I feel like this is something Amanda would be interested in,
you know.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Like a group activity. Amanda Rica Green, yes, which you
said she's like a mushroom.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
She is, because you know why, She's exactly like the
Alpha ten bars and I guess my morning coffee with
the lions maan. She is like energizing yet so peaceful, calming,
and you feel so motivated after speaking to her.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You know, Amanda's my psychic cousin by the way, because
Kat just had a session with her the other day,
which y'all hung out from time to time when she's
in town, and y'all have vibed really well. Yes, but
she has a new podcast, Yeah, I love it, Soul
Sessions every Wednesday. Yep. Maybe when you listen to the episode,
it's like a shot of mushrooms. It really is.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
I mean, which, did you like your session?
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Absolutely, of course, I think everybody needs one.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I do have listeners that have booked with her before, yeah,
or that when she was on the Bobby Bone Show,
they booked with her, or people that have threw her
found the show vice versa, so they were with her
first and then now they listen because she has clients
all over the world. She used to live in Belize, yes,
and she might be even moving back to South America.
(36:07):
Maybe she'll move somewhere for we can go do it
do mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
So but yes, I was very very happy after our conversation.
I felt confident, confident about life where I'm headed. Oh okay, good, yes, yes, okay.
So back to the mushrooms. So do you want to
hear about some of the different kinds?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Well, yeah, because I don't I know that when I
eat like the Alpha tin bar, I used to have
this powder and I can't remember the name. But like,
I'm not really getting any mushrooms right now except for
in the Alpha ten bars.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, you eat the bite sized bar, which is about
half around four hundred milligrams of super food mushrooms. And
mine has around one thousand. So we have things like
cordyce EPs for sustained energy, Rishi helps with stress, Lion's
main for focus, and I get that through my bulletproof
High Achiever as well. I recently learned that shititaki with immunity.
(37:01):
Then you have turkey tail for gut protection, and I'm
someone that has struggled with horrible gut issues, so that's
a big positive.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Which turkey tail seems like such a funny name to
me for a mushroom, right, But I do like knowing
what they're doing for me instead of just being like, oh,
it's a functional adaptogen or mushroom or which I mean.
I think for each person it's working towards how what
they need. You need it? Yeah, because oshwaganda is that
(37:31):
an adaptagen? I believe so.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
But that comes from a shrub, I want to say.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Like a bush? Yeah in Africa? Oh okay, yeah, I've
talked about Osha Ganda before, but it's been years and
so I don't have It's just something that popped into
my head just now. And when I think of shrubs though,
I think of the how everyone shrubs here in Nashville
are dead and how I spray painted mind green. Yeah,
I saw that with a healthy plant spray paint, so
(37:59):
it's not gonna kill it. But I ran out of
spray paints. I need to buy more because I have
too many dead bushes. But then once you paint them,
they look like.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Does this day like through the rain and everything. So far,
so far, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
So far, so good. Which obviously we're talking about adaptogens
and mushrooms or whatever. But if you're on certain medications
or you're on other supplements that have some of this
stuff in it, I know that you can take too much. Yeah,
so make sure you consult with someone before you just
start being like like if you hear Cat say, oh,
(38:34):
Lion's Maine for focus, You're like, oh, I'm gonna do
lions main, but make sure it can go with any
other things that you're taking.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
That and what's an appropriate milligram for you? Yeah, and
your size and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Which the Alpha ten bars were in the VIP bags
at the live shows in Nashville. Yeah, so that is
where I first started eating them the most. And now
I just bought a forty pack. Well with cat A
forty five doesn't exist, but I bought. Oh that's true. Yeah,
two twenties, which got me free shipping because I spent enough,
(39:07):
and then I did yeah cat tin Kat one zero
Cat ten for what I get ten percent off? Yeah
Cat ten. Yeah, I feel like your discount should be higher.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
At fifty if that's what I said on the show.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Fun fact Cat used to date the.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Founder founder CEO, which says a lot because I still
I love this product. I'm meaning it every single day.
It's truly great, right, I know, And I still eat
it too.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
You know. Sometimes it's like, if there's a breakup, gets
to pick sides.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Not here, not here, not here. Now we're eating the
bars we love them.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Not with him and then not with Ben. My friend
Ali sends out a newsletter and I went ahead and
printed it out because I thought I would read it.
Because it has to do with maybe if you need
a nudge to do something or try something new, or
even if it doesn't make sense to someone like I
don't know, book a retreat to South America to do
(40:05):
a little experience, a therapeutic experience, or you know, try
some mushrooms in your coffee, the legal ones, yes, or
maybe hit up a yoga class. If you haven't a while,
or try a new workout like you did. You didn't
do yoga before that.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
It's very news to you new in the past thirty days.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Yeah, so I'm going to read the newsletter in case
anybody else needs the encouragement, She says, Hey, Amy, but
obviously it went to everyone who subscribes to her newsletter.
The subject line was what my gray hair taught me.
Hey Amy. If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably
heard me talk about how I'm growing out my gray hair,
and unsurprisingly, it's taught me a lot about well everything.
(40:49):
One of the things I've learned is that when you
have an idea to do something like write a book,
start a business, speak on stage, or create a new art,
it often doesn't seem like a very good idea to
any one but you in the beginning, And maybe it
doesn't even seem like that good of an idea to you.
Maybe you keep second guessing yourself and thinking, well, anyone
else think this is cool? But you know deep down
(41:12):
you have to do it, And so, for reasons you
can't even explain to yourself, you keep putting one foot
in front of the other, step by step, day by day,
moment by moment, in the midst of doing that, something
unravels inside of you that you didn't expect would be
a part of the process. You realize that what you're
doing is not about what you're doing. It's not about
the business you're building, or the book you're writing, or
(41:34):
the color of your hair. It's about so much more.
It's about you and how you are changing because of
the thing you've been invited to do. And one day
you look in the mirror and fill a level of
satisfaction and pride for yourself in taking a chance. You
see yourself differently because you are different. You've changed because
(41:54):
this thing that you've done has changed you. So Hey,
if you're thinking of doing a thing but you aren't
aren't sure how it's going to turn out, here's your
nudge to do it anyway. I love it which Ali
is she's growing out her hair. She hasn't been coloring
it at all, so it takes a while because she
was coloring it, so the gray is having to grow
out right, And I think sometimes she feels like I
(42:17):
don't really know how to wear it, pull it back,
or because it hasn't grown fully out where she can
cut out all the color. But it looks so cool
on her.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
No, I think it's a very cool look.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Yeah, we have friends that have that look too, Yes,
we do. I don't have enough gray hair to do that,
although I don't know that mine stup sporadic? I could.
Is it really true if you pull out a gray
four more come back? No, that's a myth.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
It's one follicle. Wouldn't that be nice?
Speaker 2 (42:43):
Though?
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Then our hair would be so thick, you know, like
it could go all gray but be so thick, right,
I don't know. And we were talking earlier. We shed
so much hair, how do we still have hair?
Speaker 2 (42:54):
I'm not sure. So much comes out, and then of
course you know, I'm pull mine, which I'm pulling at
it right right now, but I've got to stop putting
my hand down and listen. I don't know if y'all
happen to know about the gray hair thing, because I
hear sometimes that it's true and sometimes that it's not true,
and so I don't really know what to believe. But
take Ali's newsletter and try salt in your water, or
(43:18):
try foam rolling, or it doesn't have to be complicated,
like write a book. I mean, she was using the
example of growing her hair out gray, but then she
had more serious examples like launching a business, or maybe
you want to make Stevenson's pancakes, or maybe you want
to start a gratitude practice.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
You can even do a ninety day yoga journey through
YouTube things you know, aren't there how to yoga on YouTube,
things like that.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Which the gratitude practice I think sometimes is intimidating to
people because they don't journal or they don't know where
to start. And that that's how it was for me
in the beginning too, and that's why Mary and I
created the Four Things Gratitude journal for Haiti Like we
made it really simple, user friendly. That's why we do
four Things Gratitude here on the podcast, which I did
it earlier. So Kat you can close us out with
(44:06):
four things that you're thankful for.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Okay, I'm going to circle back to some things that
we've already talked about and maybe say my super food
mushrooms because it's made a huge difference with just work.
Clarity focus at work has been huge for me. My
second one thing that I mix with the mushrooms is
my coconut collagen vital proteins Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
You mentioned that earlier. That's got you froth up.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Froth it up. And then I add the cayenne. So
if anybody wants to try something funky, put a little
cayenne in your coffee and stir it or froth it,
whichever you prefer.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Didn't the vital proteins or the coconut collagen. They had
it on sale or something the other day.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Oh yeah, anytime I see it on sale, especially at
Whole Foods. When you have Amazon, you get the extra discount.
So I'll just buy three because I hate when I
have to pay full price.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Yeah, the full price. So they go on sale.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
It's like so if I can buy three, then by
the time they have the next big sale, I can
get it again. Now. I did not used to live
like this because I lived in like a oh no,
one at a time, scarcity kind of that, mm hmm.
But now it's like, no, let's just spring for the
best deal. I'll save it. It's going to save money.
It took a lot of practice to get out of
(45:18):
the that's for another day, though. My third thing would
be my probiotic, which I borrowed one the other day
because we take the same come.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Right after yoga. It's like, what is she doing digging
in my back? And I guess, which I don't mind
at all, but I was just no. I said, hey,
let's take a probiotic, and then I say borrow because
of technically I could give you one back, right, we're
on the same but I guess I haven't paid you
back with the probiotics. No, you don't need to, so
I didn't borrow when I took one, but I was
(45:48):
reaching in the jar to get one one for me,
one for you. Yeah. I thought it was so cute,
but you said, oh, have you washed your hand? And
because we had just done a hot yebacast, but I
did wash my hands. But I wasn't judging. I was
just like, oh, well, how bold. She just doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
I wasn't gonna say anything, but I was like, dang,
that's a different side of her.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
I didn't know, and it was fine. No, No, I
washed my hands, And yes, Kat and I both take
the just Thrive probiotics, the S four based, which I
feel like we both love it.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
I've tried so many others, but it's just this is
special because it truly makes it And.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
You didn't even hear about it from me.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
No, I heard it on the Lady Gang and I
used their code right, and then I.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Was like, I have a code.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Oh yeah, and then I was but I think I
heard it on the Lady Gang first. Then I heard
it on yours and was like, oh my gosh, Okay,
this must be just so legit.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Because it's another friend too that takes it and talk
to you about it. Yeah, and so yeah, four things
is the code if you want to try the probiotic
or they also have just calm which can help.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
I didn't try that one because I wanted to see
first the probiotic by itself.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
You know what difference it could make.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
And then now that I'm on this other stuff though,
I guess I don't need Yeah, I'm cold enough.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
But the founder was on and she said to do
just that. She's like, I want people to take the
probiotic for a certain amount of time so that they
can see how that works and then add in.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
But I've heard great things about that combo. It's just
the mushrooms have the calmings. So now I don't know. Again,
we don't want to.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
We're not doctors.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
We're not doctors, and we don't want to overdo our supplements.
My fourth thing would be the new yoga community, the teachers,
the people. They've all been so wonderful and welcoming, and
that's not always the case with gym's. So I've greatly
appreciated joining, and I'm again on my ninety day journey
to see how that changes my mind, body, spirit.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
I think it will.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I think it is already.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
We're already there.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
Yeah we're No, we're not halfway there. We're a third
of the way there. But that's okay. Yeah, she've already
done whole month. I think my first day was April
twenty fourth.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Yeah, I don't go every single day, so I'm somewhere
around twenty five.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Classes since then. If you do want to try to
pick up yoga yoga with Adrian on YouTube, I know
you mentioned YouTube a minute ago, but that's a specific
account where she's got some really good stuff. Okay, up there.
She even has a digestive one and it's only twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Or so yoga for your digestion, sign me up.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
I need to pull that up. I guess I have
done that at home occasionally, but that's very different than
going to a hot yoga class, right, like I went
to with you. Yeah, and you know, Bin's really enjoying
it too. Like we walked out of class and we
walked past the other room because there's two studios, and
you're like, oh, there's just Been right there. And then
I went up to the window and was like, oh,
there he is.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Hey, yeah, and he was in my class this morning.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
Oh he was. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
I didn't know he would be there. And then I
saw the car and was like, okay, great, so PLoP
down right next to it. I know.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
That's why I feel like I'm like, maybe I need
to give him that space. So it's like what he's
been doing for two years now, so it's like his
gym or his yoga. Hey, man, ay Amy's here. I'm here.
He's probably like oh great, Okay, no, but that's the
thing again.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
You guys get along great, I.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Know, but yoga might be where you trying to meet somebody.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
Oh shoot, well maybe you're trying to meet somebody there.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Not yeah, well I have only been to two classes.
But yeah. I did walk by though, and he Been
did look good. I was like, oh, who's that guy?
And I was like, oh, that's been been there. What
if that's how it happens we get back together because
I see him and I'm like, oh, oh hey, just kidding.
Four Things Gratitude Journals. I'll say this since I mentioned
(49:38):
a minute ago. Four Things dot Com is where you
can find them, and all proceeds go to Haiti, specifically
Project Metashare in Haiti. They do great things with education,
maternity centers for new moms, expecting moms, and then also
postpartum care, so in helping the babies. And they're in
(49:58):
rural parts of Haiti where they don't have access to
a lot of healthcare like that, and it's a place
that's near and dear to my heart for sure. And
I think gratitude is a game changer. Last week, Chase
and I were talking about how stillness is my key
to success, that mantra. But in the stillness you find gratitude.
(50:21):
You can focus on gratitude, you can I was going
to say, find yourself, find yourself right, and then you
were free to think of all the things you have
appreciation for, which that in my meditation this morning, it's
guided and it's kind of like she would take you
through different parts of your life, like right, Now I
want you to think about a friend that you're thankful
for or friends. Now, think of a family member you're
(50:43):
thankful for. Now, think of something in your room, your
bedroom you're thankful for. It could be like your sheets,
or your slippers or whatever. Now go to your workplace.
What are you thankful for? It was a twenty minute
thing and like she would just walk you through and
so then your brain was guided to think about all
these different areas where you have things to be grateful for.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
Well, that's just a great how to people. It's hard to, yeah,
write create on your own.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
The Four Things Gratitude Journal is a it's a guide.
It's there's four things. It's not intimidating. Their stickers for
like when you don't have words. And then in the
very back we put prompts similar to the guide. It
it's like it's asking you questions that will prompt you
to write down things that you're thankful for. And so
(51:29):
we made it that way intentionally. We didn't want it
to be overwhelming. I'm thankful to anybody that's ever bought
one the journals that are out nowur is the third edition,
but we actually did two one point zero two point
zero and this is three point oh one point sold out.
Three point zero has two color options yep. And then
once those are gone, those will be gone. But someone
(51:50):
said that they were having a really bad day the
other day. They sent me a DM and that they
decided to go back. They had finished their gratitude journal
and they went back and reread it. Oh wow, and
that it completely turned their day around. And I thought
this might be sound cool. Coolest things I've heard regarding so.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
Little tip that you're the other people that have them. Yes,
read your journal and it could be something too.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
You could do with your family, Like everyone comes up
with one thing depending on how big your family is,
Like you and jet at your house. So each of
you could do two things and you fill out a
page of four or you could do you only do
it four times a week and you do one thing
a day. If if it's overwhelming to think of four
things every single day, you can just divide it up.
Do it as like a dinner around the table activity,
(52:33):
what's one thing you're grateful for today? If you've got
four people in your family, boom. If you've got eight people, well,
do two pages. Yeah, you're good. So again, four things
dot com for that, and then radio ame dot com
for links to well, also the Gratitude Journal you can
find it there. Pimp and Joy stuff which we'll be
doing a campaign soon for building homesper hero leading up
(52:55):
to fourth of July. Working on the details for that now,
so don't have a lot of them for you, but
maybe next week. Mary sent over some really cute Pimp
and Joy designs that I think you're going to love,
but we just don't have everything nailed down yet. And
then what else is up there? Oh? My Amazon Favorites
is up there. I guess I need to add a
foam roller, yeah, because I got mine on Amazon, but
(53:18):
I need to add it so you can click there
and see different things from the eye patches that I love,
the self tanner that I use, all the fun stuff,
the probiotic I have just Thrive on there too, But
the code on Amazon. They have it on Amazon, but
you can't use the four things code, right, So.
Speaker 1 (53:36):
I would go, yeah to the website, use Amy's code
and then do a subscription.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
That's what I'm on. Oh, to just Thrive smart on
a subscription Yeah, oh yeah, then I don't have to
go into it every single time.
Speaker 1 (53:45):
Yeah, I like my products to typically come from the manufacturer.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
Okay, good point, because those bars that you love, ye
the other.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
Not the Alpha ten bars, but some other bars that
I was I was on a subscription for years, like
three years.
Speaker 2 (54:01):
Probably, and I started to like them too. But again
I've shifted to more eating the Alpha ten. But I
like bouncing around because I love the new Go dark
chocolate pretzel bars. Is that gluten free? Yeah, I want
to try a little bite. If you have one, I
have one. We'll go downstairs. Okay, share one. But they're
so good, and I love no cow bars like I
have to rotate.
Speaker 1 (54:20):
I can't do those because the sugar alcohol anymore. But yes,
I know we don't want to burn out, so we
need a rotation. There's one at eros A Macha. I'm
going to buy that this week and then I'll circle back.
Speaker 2 (54:31):
With you to see if it's any good, okay, because.
Speaker 1 (54:33):
I know it has some caffeine and it maybe sixty
five milligrams, which is quite a bit for a bar,
I think, because the Alpha ten has thirty of just
naturally occurring caffeine. But yeah, so I'm always there buying caffeine,
and I'm like I don't want this.
Speaker 2 (54:48):
Back to the bars and Amazon. I'm sure sometimes they're legit,
but you're right that one specific brand I have to
buy from the manufacturer because when I got from Amazon,
they were disgusting. Yep. And I also saw him at
the grocery store, so I decided to buy one and
say so gross. But when I ordered it.
Speaker 1 (55:05):
Straight from them the source, so I was like, what
fresh as can be?
Speaker 2 (55:10):
What's the deal?
Speaker 1 (55:11):
I think storage warehouse shipping something is different?
Speaker 2 (55:16):
Heat yeah, something okay? Well at Radio Amy on Instagram.
And then Kat doesn't have an Instagram, but she has
at Restore in Brooklyn on Sundays from twelve to four.
If you want to go get cry with your fee
or something, meet me if you want to hang out.
If you want to hang out and talk mushrooms and
cordyceps and adaptogens and whatnot. Which don't forget her code
(55:39):
for the alpha tin bars, which the ten is not
the number ten, and the alpha it's T and N
for tennessee. Yep, that can be confusing, but it's not.
We explained it. And then her code is cat ten
Kat one zero for ten percent off. And don't ask
me why she has a code she does because she
dated the guy. Don't forget, but it is cool. Yeah,
(56:01):
I used to go, so I'm grateful for it no
matter what, which I do think is very sweet that
you are supportive of his bars. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
It's a fun journey because I like them a lot.
I like them a lot too.
Speaker 2 (56:13):
Very good. Okay, everybody have the day that you need
to have, Kat anything else?
Speaker 1 (56:19):
Five star of you? Please? I like and subscribe?
Speaker 2 (56:23):
Oh for the podcast, yes, yes, or for both, but yes,
we're trying to be better at that. But you're a
good You're like a good pr person for me. Whenever
we'und in public, we'll be talking to people and Catvill
say Amy has a podcast and I'm like, oh, stop, have.
Speaker 1 (56:37):
Your heart and I'm so surprised that we go to
eros today and I'm like, I'm gonna ask this girl
if she listens to the podcast and Amy.
Speaker 2 (56:43):
He's like, please don't.
Speaker 1 (56:45):
I said, I can't believe you get embarrassed, Like, yeah,
I love to support it, like I just I love
to do that with everybody though, Like if I have
a friend and I believe in their product and what
they're doing in the world, is just like why wouldn't
I want to be like, hey, do you guys listen
to my friend here? Right?
Speaker 2 (57:01):
You're a cheerleader, which I appreciate, so thank you for that,
but just don't do it if I'm around, because I
get embarrassed. But it is okay, yes, to ask for
people to take the time to rate and review if
they want to thank you. You're welcome, okay, y'all, Bye bye,
Good level. Okay, cats up, little food for yourself life.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh it's pretty but hey it's pretty beautiful, many beautiful.
That for a little more.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Up Man said he can cut your kicking with fouring
with Amy Brown, Happy Thursday. Four things Amy here, and
I've got Cryocat with me. Not to be confused with
therapy cat. Hello, Hello, Cryocat. She's come on the podcast before.
We call her Cryocat because I met her at cryotherapy
yep three years ago, probably.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Because I think you were at the end of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, yeah, And we were at dinner the other night
after we went to yoga, and we were having a
conversation about yoga and how I hadn't done that forever
and you were just in such a great moods. We
were talking about that and the things that make us
feel good and water. I was totally dehydrated and not
feeling great and hormonal, and then You're like, you should
put salt in your water, and I'm like, what, I
(01:12):
do not want to do that. And then we were
talking about mushrooms and adaptogens and habits that we both
had that through off our days, Like I learned something
about kat that I did not know, which I thought
was interesting, and we'll talk about that Costco because we're
going to go to Costco for the cheap car wash
and the cheap gas.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And we went to dinner.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Then we went to dinner instead, but then we ended
up going to Costco the next day. Yeah, gratitude. We
talked about acting as if, which acting as if is
a whole other thing that I'm extremely passionate about. In fact,
Kat and Ben and I were sitting around last night
in the living room talking about it. Kat's son is
friends with Stevenson, so they get to play and then
(01:51):
the adults kind of get to talk about fun stuff
like meditation and acting as If. And Leanne Ellington who
has come on the podcast before and she's an expert
when it comes to rewiring the brain, and she was
the first thing guest at my live Nashville shows. And
we're going to do a whole four part series on
acting as If. I cannot wait. Acting as if you
(02:14):
are already yes, where you want to be as if?
All of this is normal. Of course this is this
way because this is what I've wanted it already is,
and so get excited about that. If you're confused by
acting as if or you want to learn more about it.
And then back to our dinner conversation, I just said, oh,
let's take some of this and put it on the podcast.
(02:37):
Do an episode again. Kat's been on before. I like
just chit chatting with her and y'all getting to hear
some of it. Like Kats, we've talked about cryotherapy and
the benefits and other things. But last week Chase was
here and we're in these two chairs across from each other,
and there's an empty couch and we kind of set
it up for the listener, like, hey, you are here,
join us on the couch and you're listening to two
(03:00):
friends talk. And Jase and I talked about stillness and
the mantrass stillness is my superpower, and it went into
all other things because it's just a friend conversation. And
so you're invited to do that again this week with
cryocat and me.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Welcome to Amy's house, So welcome.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
To the couch, which Kara was on a minute ago.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
She's just precious.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
She was the audience and now she's down at my
feet and she's snoring again. This week. I don't know
what it is about her coming to my feet right
here and then falling asleep with her head on the desk,
and then she starts to snore.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
But I love it because at least she's not well.
I just don't want to people, oh yeah, I hear
the snoring. I don't think that it's picking up.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But I feel like we'll be talking and then people
will be like, what's that no noise in the background.
It's like, that's my dog if you hear that. But yoga,
that's where this all started on Friday night, because you
invited me yep to go, and I've gone to Core
Power before, I have had a yoga practice. It used
to be all I did.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Amy is Advance ANSD plus plus. At yoga, you still
had all your moves.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I probably went a little too hard because that's why
I felt depleted. I think because I was already dehydrated,
and then it was a hot yoga flow, so then
I'm even more depleted. And then they gave me since
I hadn't been there in so long, They're like, well,
I guess you can have a free week again to
see if you want to get back into this. So
I was like, I got a free week. I'm going
again the next day's get our Yeah. So I went
(04:26):
on Saturday morning hot yoga, the sculpt one that has weights,
and I was sweating more, but I was still dehydrated.
So it just took me into like a low and
I was very, very sore, especially after the sculpt one
with the weights, although they tell you to grab two
(04:49):
different weight options, and I was like, I'm just gonna
grab three pounds, but then I ended up grabbing a
five pound ya, just to play, and now I'm paying.
I did it to play, and now my body is paying.
And that leads to me busting out the foam roller
last night when you were here. Yes, And that's like
(05:10):
the most amazing thing ever. And I don't know why
I don't ever use it more.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I know as soon as I get on it, my
back's like crack.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Crack, crack my hip in that part on the leg.
What's your Yes, that hurts so bad?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And if you go nice and slow like you're supposed to, oh,
it's hard for me.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It is heaven. And all you gotta do is buy
the phone roller yeah, for what like fifteen dollars on Amazon? Yeah, probably,
and then you don't have to pay for a massage massage,
because that's what I really am. I feel as though
I need a massage of sorts. But here I go.
I got my phone roller.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I know, but I'm so much better if you massage
me and put that pain.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I can take that.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
But inflicting that sort of discomfort on myself with the
foam roller I really struggle with surprisingly.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Did you hear me last night? Yes, yes, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Like but I was watching you, like, well, she's doing it,
but for me, I'm like, somebody else can do that
to me, but I can't do it to myself. It
just hurts.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I know. I feel like I need some ibuprofen from
two of your car classes, which oh yes, well, CAATs
saying my car because she was looking for ibuprofen earlier,
and I was like, shoot, I have tailan all I said,
But you know what, on the passenger floorboard side of
my car, right behind the driver's seat, not passenger side,
(06:35):
driver's side, driver's side, right behind the seat in the
back seat on the floorboard, there is an Ibu profone.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And I'm like, on the floor She says, yes, and
I'm like, in my head, I totally would have done it,
but I'm like, just one, like, no one is not
going to do unless it was what size are we talking?
I don't it's just so normal standard two hundred milligrams.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Don't know. I probably think I had borrowed it from
somebody else and it was in a little baggie and
it dropped and I didn't know where it went. And
then the other day I saw, oh, there it is,
and I'm like, well, keep it there in case I
need it.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, yeah, and I'm not above it, but I was like, well,
two hundred milligrams probably not going to do, so I'll
just pass today.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Which next time I'm at Costco because when we went there,
I forgot how.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Big everything is.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Jumbo. I'm gonna get a jumbo size ibuprofen they have that.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
They're this big. They're like the size of a Mason jar.
Almost Oh my gosh, and you probably get too.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I feel like they would expire before you could use them.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I got, well, like, I don't ever ever take ibuprofen.
This was like my back was just really hurting earlier,
and so that's why I was like, well, since we're recording,
if you have it, I'll take it to be pain free.
Because we didn't get a freeze today too.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Are you mean right now? What are you in pain? I? What? No,
I'm actually very comfortable. Like it went away.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Remember I laid on the floor, went side to side.
You heard a few like and I feel much better.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, the big stuff at Costco, it's almost like you're
a kid in a candy store. I'm just looking at everything.
And we happened to go.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
At six oh seven, and they like, ladies, we close
at six, but you can go, you.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Know, hurry, hurry, And there was tons of people inside.
But then I was so fascinated with everything, and I
think this man working there saw how I was stopping
on every aisle to look at the massive everything, and
he kindly comes up. He's like, what did y'all come for?
And I was like, well, technically we came for the gas,
the car wash, and bubble tea because Dashiro wanted the
(08:37):
joy bubbles or something. Yeah, and he said, oh, we
don't have any bubble tea now we've been out or whatever.
But yeah, we had a cart full of other things
because I was so excited. And then he.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
We kept browsing and then he comes back to us
and goes, can I help y'all find anything, and we're like,
oh no, because we already knew, like you don't have
any He's like, well, okay, Well we close at six, and.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
So then I felt like we were in trouble and
we rassage received.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
We ran down every other aisle to the register, like.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
We would dodge him, Like I wanted to look at
a few more aisles, and anytime I would see him,
I'd be like, run go that way. And then we
checked out and it was fine, but we were not
the last people in the store, and I wanted to
be respectful of that for sure, But it seemed like
they were fine with us being there. That's why they
were listened. But this man, he was not anyway. Don't
sleep on Costco if you have it near you, especially
(09:30):
the cheap gas. But you have to have the Costco
card in order to have access to the gas. You
can't just roll up kat pipe a credit card.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah no, you gotta have your Oh yes, I don't know.
You just froze kind of a set, swipe the Costco
and then insert your payment.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I just never gotten the gas there. I don't realize
mesmerized how more affordable it was or is gas affordable. No,
it's just it was fifty cents less than I think
what I pay at the gas station or my house
for sure. Oh yeah, so it's worth me driving over there.
It's not that far. So I thought we would do
a little four things gratitude because I am grateful for
(10:09):
that tip shopping well, the gas tip, oh yes, and
the car wash tip, which we were going to get
my car washed, but then Ben was already washing Stashira's car.
His favorite thing to do is wash cars, and he
was over here washing her car, and then he washed mine,
and I was like, well, I thank you. That's very nice.
(10:30):
And I think I've mentioned Ben twice already now, and
some people might be like, wait, I'm confused, why's Ben
still there? But he's here.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We still hang out. We're still oh yeah, we all
hung out last night.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
He is still the father obviously to Stevenson and Stashira,
which someone I did a question box on Instagram. Yeah,
and someone said how often did the kids see their dad?
And I didn't publicly answer that, nor did I even reply.
I did come across it, but I like, all the time, Well, yeah,
we're fifty to fifty custody. But even on the days
(11:06):
that are the weeks that are his, because we do
one week on when week off. We still see the
kids during those days, and we don't live far from
each other at all, and the kids are back and forth.
So that is why you may hear me say casually
that he's here, because I already know that a message
might be, oh, you're back together. Back together.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
No, they have the healthiest separation that I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
So gratitude. I have gratitude for a lot of things,
like been a nice relationship for the Costco gas, the
foam roller. I'm going to start with four things gratitude,
and at the end, when we get done, you can
wrap with your four things that you're thankful for. Okay,
I guess I'll make my first thing the film roller
because I'm really crushing on that hard. Yeah. Like now
(11:50):
that I've rekindled my relationship with the foam roller last night,
I can't wait to foam roll like on a daily basis.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I think it would be a game changer.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I want to do it every day. The second thing
would be my meditation this morning, because it was all
about gratitude. Coincidentally, the mantra was appreciation is my true nature,
which is almost acting as if. Yes, because for me,
I do appreciate things, but for someone where appreciation may
not be your true nature. If you make that your
mantra and you're acting as if, then it becomes who
(12:20):
you are. If that's what you really desire, so I'll
give it to you again in case you want it.
Appreciation is my true nature. The third thing I'm thankful
for is this dip that we found on sale at
Whole Foods, which the only reason why I bought it
was because it was on sale, and it was this
cashew queso dip and the brand is Credo or Credo
(12:44):
I don't know Credo, and it is so good I
don't even know how to explain it. It might be the
best cashew caso I've ever had. Did you like it?
I liked it, but I liked the dip that I
got a little better, which yours was cashua too, right? Yes?
Or almond? Uh?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, you're right. I think it's almond. But it was
called not choe.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Cheese, not like notho not Yeah. The fourth thing would
be my measuring cup that I used to drink water
out of, And why is that?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What's so special.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I love it. I don't love it because it's a
measuring cup. I love the handle, yes, and I love
the spout. Well. I don't drink out of the poory part,
you know how sometimes if a glass or anything is
too thick the rim. I don't like drinking out of
a thick, thick rim. This rim, with the width of
(13:39):
this rim is perfect. I love it. And with the handle,
it's great. Actually, I had therapy the other day and
I it had been a minute, and we pulled up
the zoom and this, you know, the camera clicked on me,
and then there she was and there I was with
my measuring cup. She goes, oh, good, good to see
(13:59):
the men cup still here. There's one thing you're consistent with,
that measuring cup, which is great. I'm thankful for the
measuring cup. But I have not been great at drinking water.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Which is crazy, because that is such a great way
to track your ounces. But I don't always have I know.
That was my next question. Do you travel with it, like,
go to work with it?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No? Maybe I should.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Maybe I should keep one at work because you don't
want that giant one. But you like your little eight ounce, Yeah,
your little carrying measuring cup.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I keep it around the house, but you're right, maybe
I need to buy one for work.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yes, that's what I was going to say, get a
second one.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
And that will help with my new water goal, because
I do have a new goal, yeap, which is like
a cup of water. So eight ounce every hour for
an hour, okay, only for eight hours, like yes, seven
or eight hours.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I want you to be in that sixty to seventy range.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And why Cat's saying I want you to be is
don't worry. Cat's not a trainer or anything, but she's
obsessed with water, like you might be the most obsessed
person that I know with water, which is not a
bad thing. I'm actually very impressed by it. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Way to go good. And I don't even I'm not
even as cuckoo as I used to be about it,
like it used to be the one fifty range, and
I'm like, I'm okay at like a hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And I meanwhile, I'm trying to break fifty fifty ounces,
which is why my goal is seven or eight and
eight times eight would be sixty four sixty four ounces.
That's my goal and that's and I'm gonna spread it
out because you told me about this guy you follow
on Instagram where he said to spread out your water. Yes,
and that's where I got the one cup per hour
(15:41):
instead of I'll be like, oh, shoot, I haven't had water,
and I'll chug down.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
You can't just chug thirty ounces and be like, oh
it's too much.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Right, which is normally what I do, and then by
bedtime it's too late. But I really do feel like
water is some of the reason why I felt so
terrible on Friday and Saturday, like I was low, low low.
I feel like I could blame it on my lack
of water intake, which that doctor is, what's his handle at.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Doctor James d nick d I N I see doctor
James Dinick. I think that's how we would pronounce.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It, yeah, because I think his last name is way
longer and more complicated. But it's just a shortened version.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And he's a no nonsense to the point, pretty easy
to comprehend.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
But what's his thing with like water and like salt?
Because this is what you were talking about it dinner
the other night, with like Himalayan pink Kimalayan sea salt.
But what's his thing with like water and like salt?
(16:45):
Because this is what you were talking about at dinner
the other night, with like Himalayan pink Kimalayan sea salt.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And I've seen him post this for I don't know
how long. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
But didn't you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Always hear like, oh no, sodium, no salt, like avoid?
Is that like a ninety thing maybe?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Or well? I think for some people they do have
to avoid sodium, but I think it's more of a
table salt thing.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Right right, right, But I just but I still couldn't, like, well,
salt in my water. I just couldn't comprehend. But then
as we're talking about this, it's we're both like, well,
may as well.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
No, no, no, you didn't do it yet. I just
did it. No, I'm not there yet.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I don't know because we didn't have salt here.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I also, yes, I'm out of pink sea salt, which
is weird because I put pink sea salt on everything
every kind of way that I make. If I'm making
ghee with grape jelly, I sprinkle sea salt on top.
I don't. I just love a salty sweet situation, which
is why I'm out. And I do need to restock,
(17:45):
but I am not to the point. I'm just trying
to drink water. I'm not to the point where I'm
adding any salt to my water.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
So I guess yesterday before I run, I text you, Okay,
I'm trying this thing. So I cranked a little bit
of it and did ly two ounces because I didn't
want to drink too much before run, right, And I'm like,
that was pretty iffy, and plus I was like, how
much am I even supposed to use? But then today
after yoga, I do keon amino powder and it tastes delicious,
(18:15):
and so I was like, Okay, this is probably the
best thing to put the salt in. So what I
tell you probably four cranks.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yeah, I really think I think you should measure it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
No, I know, I totally should, but sometimes I don't
have the patience. So it's just like, crank, crak, crak crak.
Tried it, couldn't even notice the salt. It was delightful,
still delightful, great flavor.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Welldrugged into Clarify too, because you said before you run
two ounces, you were talking two ounces of water. Yes, yes, yes,
two ounces of salt.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
No no, no, two ounces of water maybe a little more.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
But I just didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I had already had my hydration and you know, use
the restroom before I run.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I didn't want to go back to that whole thing.
But he did have this whole post about how the
salt water or the Himalayan pink sea salt in water
cures like all kinds of things like.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
If you're thirsty, drink more salt water.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, hungry, drink more salt water, except for also off
you're hungry, eat well, Yeah, that's true. That's I kind
of wanted to reply to that one and be like,
so what if we're really hungry.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
But here's the one he says, brain fog, drink more
salt water. Never would have thought exhausted, dizzy, no energy,
drink more salt water.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, he's very much about it, and I do think
that his page. I did find it relatable.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Although millions of followers.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
He was talking about you can measure dehydration with your
urine gravity, and I was like, I don't know what
he's talking about. He lost me. He was relatable, and
then now I don't get it, but I googled it
and apparently you'urine gravity you can get like a test done.
It's like a lab resalt at the doctor. So anyway,
like not like I'm ever going to go that done,
(19:58):
but I do you want to be hydrated, So maybe
there is something to this. And I know that we
do need a certain amount of sodium. I just feel
like with all the pead salt I put on my toast,
is that the same thing as putting it in my water?
Oh that's a good question. Maybe I'll send him a
DM and ask him because I know it's it's totally
(20:21):
different than the table salt. Like I got that avocado
toast the other day which was so good. It was
sour dough and avocado, which I've never had this before.
There was honey on top, and this is genius. Yep,
I love it. I love the salty salty, I know.
And it had some cayenne pepper for a little bit
of a kick. And then I took a bite and
(20:41):
there was no sea salt on top, and I nearly
I thought she.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Is such a food critic. It is amazing to watch though.
Like everything she eats, I love to hear the review.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
She goes, well, it just needs salt.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I thought she was going to be like because I
think it's the greatest thing ever. And I thought she
was gonna be so enthusiastic about she's well the salt.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
So by and by food critic, you must mean salt critic,
because that's no, it's other things. There was something else.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh, we had tacos on Friday night and you were like, m,
it's just missing a little something.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Honestly, I think it was missing salt.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Though you said it needs the sauce, like a sauce
that has a.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Little salty sauce. Yeah, a salty sauce if something. So
I needed salt and all we had near us was
one of those little packets of table salt, and I thought, well,
this is going to have to do. And I sprinkled
it on top and it was so good. So point
of this story is, if you're into avocado toast, try
(21:46):
the honey, yes, rizzled on top. Maybe even they make
that MIC's hot honey. Ooh, that's really good on pizza. Yeah,
and it's also really good on like pancakes and stuff
if you like a little bit of a kid like
this morning, literally Stevenson put that on his protein pancakes
that we made him.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Oh, he doesn't mind a little spice.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
No, he likes it. So he made his protein pancakes,
which I was actually thinking about how this morning. Those
pancakes were on my very first episode, my very first
four things. What year was this twenty eighteen, So the
first four things I ever talked about protein, Well, that
was one of the things, and Stevenson came on and
(22:28):
like read the recipe. So we talked about the Superwoman poves,
which do you know what that is? Where you like
stand with your hands on your hip in the mirror
if you're trying to pump yourself up, acting as if
you're already amazing and you've killed it. We talked about
unanswered prayers, We talked about gratitude, but with doctor oz
(22:50):
Oh he was one of the things. And then the
protein pancakes cool, So that was my very first episode,
which the pancakes are really easy to make. By the way,
it's actually coincidentally for ingredients, mashed up banana, which pro tip,
I used to mash it up with a fork inside
the bowl, but now I put it in to a
(23:10):
ziploc bag and it's best to use like a brown
spotted banana because those are sweeter and easier to digest
and stuff so I mash it up and then you
cut a slit in the zip block bag like it's icing,
and then just squeeze it out into the bowl and
then it's already mashed perfectly. Okay, you don't have to
like try to get every chunk with the fork right
and then like scrape it. Yeah, And then you add
(23:32):
two eggs, a scoop of vanilla protein powder, and a
pinch of baking powder, and then you cook them like
you would a normal pancake.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Question, no pinch of pink salts.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I would, but Stevenson doesn't want that. I would. Just
what I would do is when I do the maple
syrup or the honey or so he tops it with
peanut butter and then the MIC's hot honey. I would
top it with peanut butter and maple syrup and a
crank of sea salt. Didn't do that this morning because
out out of it, we're out of sea saw. I
need to get more.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
But and remind me to buy that hot honey.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Mike's Hot honey. Love it so good? Which did you
notice on my kitchen table when you walked in today
that all of the clothes were gone and put away
the laundry. Yeah, because did you see the pile of
mess that was on my kitchen table last night?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I didn't notice the table, but I did notice the
laundry room was very bogged down.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, and it flowed into the kitchen table. Okay, I'm
glad you didn't notice, because it bugs me. I can't function.
I can because let's be honest. I was still functioning yesterday,
but not well. I was irritable, right or.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
But didn't you You tried to give yourself like a
rest day.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, and that's the thing, and it bothered you. I
ignored the laundry for two days. And that's what happens
because other people decide they want to start to do
laundry and they don't finish the process right. They pull
things out of the dryer and then just throw them
on top. They don't fold anything, and by they I
(25:08):
don't know who it is, could be anybody that's inside
the invisible house. Guess I'm not blaming it on my kids,
but or been. But I'm kind of blaming it on
them because I don't know who else it is. But
I'm not here to point fingers. But it was everywhere,
and I had to get it all put away. But
like that's my thing that throws me off. If I
pull something out of the dryer, I want to fold it,
(25:31):
and I feel like I've an underlie there's an underlying
negative vibe that walks around with me until that's done.
And today I completed it and it's done and I
feel better. But what I learned about you the other
night is I didn't know you had an underlying, like
off negative tone.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
If you don't, I don't get up and just leave
the house ever, right, it's no up and out the door.
Oh can I say though about laundry, If you do
just one load a day, it never gets behind you know?
Do you ever do that one load to laundry a day?
Or is it like there's a laundry day.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I do both. There's not one laundry day, but I
feel like I do more loads in one day days
oftentimes it falls on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Well, you have more than I do.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
But even Stevenson, I swear to you, I think it
was just either today or yesterday. I can't remember out
of his mouth because we were in the laundry room
that was having him help me with some stuff. Must
have been today and he said, gosh, this is like
never ending, and I'm like, welcome, yeah, hello, welcome to
how most people feel. I was gonna say most women.
But I'm not putting it all on the women. I
(26:36):
know there's men that do laundry. Bullets, just be real, Honestly,
I feel like there's not a lot of there's Okay,
let me say this carefully because I know there's men
that listen. I feel like there are a lot of
things that would not get done. I'm not talking laundry.
I'm talking oh yeah this time. I'm talking like I
saw things going around on Instagram with the end of
(26:57):
your parties, like all the graduates Wacian parties, the event,
like they everything gets sent to the mom, like like
addressed to addressed to the mom who does all the
birthday present buying, which, man, I know, I'm sure there
are some of you that do. I feel like a
cute disclaimer, but I do feel as though a lot
of times the women are the ones getting all the
(27:20):
things done, like even behind like that you don't It's
like nobody stops and says, oh, how did this get done?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Who wrapped this present? Right? Like? Oh we did? Who
wraps all the Christmas presents, you know, who does all
the Christmas shopping? Who gets all the birthday presents? Who
does the like if it's somebody you know in your
family's birthday or like a cousin in law, whatever, who's
managing that? And I feel as though it often falls
(27:48):
on the woman, whether she's a working woman or at
home with the kids, it still is something that falls up.
But anyway, all that to say, I saw some posts
going around like, hey, be sure to address it to
both parents, like for schools and teachers, like if there's
things you need done, supplies bought, if there's parties happening,
(28:08):
make sure you address it and send it to both
emails if you have them or whatever that looks like
for you. And if you have in your house that
it's divided and conquered and it's said like okay, there's
set tasks. Great, But I do think that there's some just.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
That moms just pick it up right, or women that.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Where it's just like wow, I've never really stopped to
think about how this gets done, but it's always just done.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
And if you're tired of it, maybe try to set
the boundary, like right, would you like this to be
your task, which.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I was just gonna say nine times out of ten,
it's probably the women that are getting it done. But anyway,
you can't leave your house unless you've been up for
two hours.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That's sometimes special occasion could be an hour, just depends
what it is. But I prefer to be up and
moving for two hours before I go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
But why me?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Because my moon is in Taurus and we like slow,
steady start to our day.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Don't rush me.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Nobody rushed me, please.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
But you're also still late to work a little bit.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
But that's because I have a child too, and I
don't think it's fair to him to wake him up
super early for me to be at work on time.
Like you know what I mean, it's I would rather
let him sleep till as close to seven am as
I can. Then it's like, okay, hurry well, okay, I
(29:39):
don't like to be rushed. But then I tell him
hurry up, and he's a Taurus, but I'm like, hurry up, Okay,
you gotta brush your teeth, you gotta let's steal your hair.
But we always have the clothes out the night before
to make it an easier process for him.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And then he goes on his way.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
But then yes, like technically I should probably leave for
work at seven am to be there on time.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I was just gonna say, you must not have a BOS
I mean sends you home if you're late. No, you do.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
But they're pretty flexible and understanding with my situation. And
I mean I also like work late at night at home.
You know, I've been taking my computer home too, because
I think that's fair, like I'll make up for my
but yeah, it's a big ask to get me anywhere
at seven thirty am.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Right, And you obviously are good at your job and
you do your job and you get it done otherwise
than they would probably be like, Okay, this isn't working.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Thank you design Light, thanks for working with me.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Which I just thought that was something interesting about you
that I didn't know, like you didn't know about me
that I get annoyed by the laundry just getting taken
out of the dryer and thrown on top and nobody
folding it. And you get annoyed if you don't wake
up and have two.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Hours do my routine at your house before you.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Get to leave. And probably something that has helped you too,
because I know you've talked about it, but with your
morning routine and setting up your day for six sas
has been your your mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Oh yes, would you like the routine? Sure it is okay,
you know you'll appreciate this. I have stopped snoozing, so
the alarm goes off. Jump up, open the blinds to
look at the daylight like we're supposed to write for
a circadian rhythm. Brush my teeth, turn the currig on,
take the dog to the bathroom so I get more
of that natural light.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Come back in.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Put the little ca cup in there, which right now
I'm on the Bulletproof brand high Achiever with the Lion's
main mushroom in there. Pour in the vital proteins coconut
and cayenne pepper, k kick and then froth that up.
Drink the coffee. Then have an Alpha ten protein bar
(31:45):
which has more you guessed it, superfood mushrooms, which.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Those are the kinds of mushrooms that are going to
They're like the adaptogen mushrooms, and they're on the more
holistic side of things. So some people might be like, oh,
I don't are you sure? But I have used them before.
Certain powders and I notice a difference in how I feel. So,
(32:09):
but it's not anything hallucinogenic.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Although because this is my work routine, Cat's about to
go to work.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
But I do want to do those or try that.
This is a whole nother podcast episode. But the ketamine
or silas saban, you know what I'm talking a, right,
those are the ones for PTSD to help with. Well,
I don't have PTSD, but it's better say they use that.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yes, Therapeutic mushrooms, yes, and they're controlled. You go to
see a doctor, right or a license yes, therapy person
that can do it. I think one of them is
only legal in Colorado and Oregon. But then the ketamine,
I think is legal in every state, but it has
to be under a doctor's right by someone that is
licensed to I don't know they have to be a doctor,
(32:54):
but they have to be licensed to give it to you,
which I would want, like I don't want to just
be set for you on my own with some something
that's gonna.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Take my mind places. But I do have friends that
have done it, like the guided situation or just I.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Guess they are kind of well, people go to foreign countries.
I think that's the that's the other one by Aluasca.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yes, yes, I do know someone that went to like
South America for that. That was on my bucket list.
Now I don't know to do. No, it's like I'm
already traveling to this another country and then you're gonna
trust that you're getting something. Although I do know people
have done it and they said it is amazing, and
it makes me think of a Nine Perfect Strangers. Did
you haven't seen that? Nine Perfect Strangers? Did you haven't
(33:49):
seen that? Oh? It's so good. It was a book
Nicole Kidman's okay, and it's on Hulu because they made
a TV series about good. I have Hulu.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
That's my homework. Okay, I'm an watch it.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Her name. I think Nicole's character is Masha Masha, and
she makes everyone that's a guest there. They get smoothies,
but I think she's micro dosing them or I don't
even know micro she might be fully dosing them with something.
And then they have these eldercinet or the goats to places.
That's when I first started researching it, like where are
(34:23):
the Is this just fiction or did these prices exist?
Because I would go as long as it's I wanted
to be protected, and I want to be with a professional.
I want to be controlled and preferably legal wherever I
am because I don't want to get caught up in
some sort of a My luck is I would probably
go somewhere where it's safe, but hey, it's underground, and
(34:45):
that I would happen to be there the day that
the Feds were rolling up. We can we can plan
a group trip.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I feel like this is something Amanda would be interested in,
you know.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Like a group activity. Amanda Rica Green, yes, which you
said she's like a mushroom.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
She is, because you know why, She's exactly like the
Alpha ten bars and I guess my morning coffee with
the lions maan. She is like energizing yet so peaceful, calming,
and you feel so motivated after speaking to her.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
You know, Amanda's my psychic cousin by the way, because
Kat just had a session with her the other day,
which y'all hung out from time to time when she's
in town, and y'all have vibed really well. Yes, but
she has a new podcast, Yeah, I love it, Soul
Sessions every Wednesday. Yep. Maybe when you listen to the episode,
it's like a shot of mushrooms. It really is.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
I mean, which, did you like your session?
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Absolutely, of course, I think everybody needs one.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I do have listeners that have booked with her before, yeah,
or that when she was on the Bobby Bone Show,
they booked with her, or people that have threw her
found the show vice versa, so they were with her
first and then now they listen because she has clients
all over the world. She used to live in Belize, yes,
and she might be even moving back to South America.
(36:07):
Maybe she'll move somewhere for we can go do it
do mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
So but yes, I was very very happy after our conversation.
I felt confident, confident about life where I'm headed. Oh okay, good, yes, yes, okay.
So back to the mushrooms. So do you want to
hear about some of the different kinds?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Well, yeah, because I don't I know that when I
eat like the Alpha tin bar, I used to have
this powder and I can't remember the name. But like,
I'm not really getting any mushrooms right now except for
in the Alpha ten bars.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, you eat the bite sized bar, which is about
half around four hundred milligrams of super food mushrooms. And
mine has around one thousand. So we have things like
cordyce EPs for sustained energy, Rishi helps with stress, Lion's
main for focus, and I get that through my bulletproof
High Achiever as well. I recently learned that shititaki with immunity.
(37:01):
Then you have turkey tail for gut protection, and I'm
someone that has struggled with horrible gut issues, so that's
a big positive.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Which turkey tail seems like such a funny name to
me for a mushroom, right, But I do like knowing
what they're doing for me instead of just being like, oh,
it's a functional adaptogen or mushroom or which I mean.
I think for each person it's working towards how what
they need. You need it? Yeah, because oshwaganda is that
(37:31):
an adaptagen? I believe so.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
But that comes from a shrub, I want to say.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Like a bush? Yeah in Africa? Oh okay, yeah, I've
talked about Osha Ganda before, but it's been years and
so I don't have It's just something that popped into
my head just now. And when I think of shrubs though,
I think of the how everyone shrubs here in Nashville
are dead and how I spray painted mind green. Yeah,
I saw that with a healthy plant spray paint, so
(37:59):
it's not gonna kill it. But I ran out of
spray paints. I need to buy more because I have
too many dead bushes. But then once you paint them,
they look like.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Does this day like through the rain and everything. So far,
so far, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
So far, so good. Which obviously we're talking about adaptogens
and mushrooms or whatever. But if you're on certain medications
or you're on other supplements that have some of this
stuff in it, I know that you can take too much. Yeah,
so make sure you consult with someone before you just
start being like like if you hear Cat say, oh,
(38:34):
Lion's Maine for focus, You're like, oh, I'm gonna do
lions main, but make sure it can go with any
other things that you're taking.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
That and what's an appropriate milligram for you? Yeah, and
your size and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Which the Alpha ten bars were in the VIP bags
at the live shows in Nashville. Yeah, so that is
where I first started eating them the most. And now
I just bought a forty pack. Well with cat A
forty five doesn't exist, but I bought. Oh that's true. Yeah,
two twenties, which got me free shipping because I spent enough,
(39:07):
and then I did yeah cat tin Kat one zero
Cat ten for what I get ten percent off? Yeah
Cat ten. Yeah, I feel like your discount should be higher.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
At fifty if that's what I said on the show.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Fun fact Cat used to date the.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Founder founder CEO, which says a lot because I still
I love this product. I'm meaning it every single day.
It's truly great, right, I know, And I still eat
it too.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
You know. Sometimes it's like, if there's a breakup, gets
to pick sides.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Not here, not here, not here. Now we're eating the
bars we love them.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Not with him and then not with Ben. My friend
Ali sends out a newsletter and I went ahead and
printed it out because I thought I would read it.
Because it has to do with maybe if you need
a nudge to do something or try something new, or
even if it doesn't make sense to someone like I
don't know, book a retreat to South America to do
(40:05):
a little experience, a therapeutic experience, or you know, try
some mushrooms in your coffee, the legal ones, yes, or
maybe hit up a yoga class. If you haven't a while,
or try a new workout like you did. You didn't
do yoga before that.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
It's very news to you new in the past thirty days.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Yeah, so I'm going to read the newsletter in case
anybody else needs the encouragement, She says, Hey, Amy, but
obviously it went to everyone who subscribes to her newsletter.
The subject line was what my gray hair taught me.
Hey Amy. If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably
heard me talk about how I'm growing out my gray hair,
and unsurprisingly, it's taught me a lot about well everything.
(40:49):
One of the things I've learned is that when you
have an idea to do something like write a book,
start a business, speak on stage, or create a new art,
it often doesn't seem like a very good idea to
any one but you in the beginning, And maybe it
doesn't even seem like that good of an idea to you.
Maybe you keep second guessing yourself and thinking, well, anyone
else think this is cool? But you know deep down
(41:12):
you have to do it, And so, for reasons you
can't even explain to yourself, you keep putting one foot
in front of the other, step by step, day by day,
moment by moment, in the midst of doing that, something
unravels inside of you that you didn't expect would be
a part of the process. You realize that what you're
doing is not about what you're doing. It's not about
the business you're building, or the book you're writing, or
(41:34):
the color of your hair. It's about so much more.
It's about you and how you are changing because of
the thing you've been invited to do. And one day
you look in the mirror and fill a level of
satisfaction and pride for yourself in taking a chance. You
see yourself differently because you are different. You've changed because
(41:54):
this thing that you've done has changed you. So Hey,
if you're thinking of doing a thing but you aren't
aren't sure how it's going to turn out, here's your
nudge to do it anyway. I love it which Ali
is she's growing out her hair. She hasn't been coloring
it at all, so it takes a while because she
was coloring it, so the gray is having to grow
out right, And I think sometimes she feels like I
(42:17):
don't really know how to wear it, pull it back,
or because it hasn't grown fully out where she can
cut out all the color. But it looks so cool
on her.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
No, I think it's a very cool look.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Yeah, we have friends that have that look too, Yes,
we do. I don't have enough gray hair to do that,
although I don't know that mine stup sporadic? I could.
Is it really true if you pull out a gray
four more come back? No, that's a myth.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
It's one follicle. Wouldn't that be nice?
Speaker 2 (42:43):
Though?
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Then our hair would be so thick, you know, like
it could go all gray but be so thick, right,
I don't know. And we were talking earlier. We shed
so much hair, how do we still have hair?
Speaker 2 (42:54):
I'm not sure. So much comes out, and then of
course you know, I'm pull mine, which I'm pulling at
it right right now, but I've got to stop putting
my hand down and listen. I don't know if y'all
happen to know about the gray hair thing, because I
hear sometimes that it's true and sometimes that it's not true,
and so I don't really know what to believe. But
take Ali's newsletter and try salt in your water, or
(43:18):
try foam rolling, or it doesn't have to be complicated,
like write a book. I mean, she was using the
example of growing her hair out gray, but then she
had more serious examples like launching a business, or maybe
you want to make Stevenson's pancakes, or maybe you want
to start a gratitude practice.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
You can even do a ninety day yoga journey through
YouTube things you know, aren't there how to yoga on YouTube,
things like that.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Which the gratitude practice I think sometimes is intimidating to
people because they don't journal or they don't know where
to start. And that that's how it was for me
in the beginning too, and that's why Mary and I
created the Four Things Gratitude journal for Haiti Like we
made it really simple, user friendly. That's why we do
four Things Gratitude here on the podcast, which I did
it earlier. So Kat you can close us out with
(44:06):
four things that you're thankful for.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Okay, I'm going to circle back to some things that
we've already talked about and maybe say my super food
mushrooms because it's made a huge difference with just work.
Clarity focus at work has been huge for me. My
second one thing that I mix with the mushrooms is
my coconut collagen vital proteins Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
You mentioned that earlier. That's got you froth up.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Froth it up. And then I add the cayenne. So
if anybody wants to try something funky, put a little
cayenne in your coffee and stir it or froth it,
whichever you prefer.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Didn't the vital proteins or the coconut collagen. They had
it on sale or something the other day.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Oh yeah, anytime I see it on sale, especially at
Whole Foods. When you have Amazon, you get the extra discount.
So I'll just buy three because I hate when I
have to pay full price.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Yeah, the full price. So they go on sale.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
It's like so if I can buy three, then by
the time they have the next big sale, I can
get it again. Now. I did not used to live
like this because I lived in like a oh no,
one at a time, scarcity kind of that, mm hmm.
But now it's like, no, let's just spring for the
best deal. I'll save it. It's going to save money.
It took a lot of practice to get out of
(45:18):
the that's for another day, though. My third thing would
be my probiotic, which I borrowed one the other day
because we take the same come.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Right after yoga. It's like, what is she doing digging
in my back? And I guess, which I don't mind
at all, but I was just no. I said, hey,
let's take a probiotic, and then I say borrow because
of technically I could give you one back, right, we're
on the same but I guess I haven't paid you
back with the probiotics. No, you don't need to, so
I didn't borrow when I took one, but I was
(45:48):
reaching in the jar to get one one for me,
one for you. Yeah. I thought it was so cute,
but you said, oh, have you washed your hand? And
because we had just done a hot yebacast, but I
did wash my hands. But I wasn't judging. I was
just like, oh, well, how bold. She just doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
I wasn't gonna say anything, but I was like, dang,
that's a different side of her.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
I didn't know, and it was fine. No, No, I
washed my hands, And yes, Kat and I both take
the just Thrive probiotics, the S four based, which I
feel like we both love it.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
I've tried so many others, but it's just this is
special because it truly makes it And.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
You didn't even hear about it from me.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
No, I heard it on the Lady Gang and I
used their code right, and then I.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Was like, I have a code.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Oh yeah, and then I was but I think I
heard it on the Lady Gang first. Then I heard
it on yours and was like, oh my gosh, Okay,
this must be just so legit.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
Because it's another friend too that takes it and talk
to you about it. Yeah, and so yeah, four things
is the code if you want to try the probiotic
or they also have just calm which can help.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
I didn't try that one because I wanted to see
first the probiotic by itself.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
You know what difference it could make.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
And then now that I'm on this other stuff though,
I guess I don't need Yeah, I'm cold enough.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
But the founder was on and she said to do
just that. She's like, I want people to take the
probiotic for a certain amount of time so that they
can see how that works and then add in.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
But I've heard great things about that combo. It's just
the mushrooms have the calmings. So now I don't know. Again,
we don't want to.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
We're not doctors.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
We're not doctors, and we don't want to overdo our supplements.
My fourth thing would be the new yoga community, the teachers,
the people. They've all been so wonderful and welcoming, and
that's not always the case with gym's. So I've greatly
appreciated joining, and I'm again on my ninety day journey
to see how that changes my mind, body, spirit.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
I think it will.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I think it is already.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
We're already there.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
Yeah we're No, we're not halfway there. We're a third
of the way there. But that's okay. Yeah, she've already
done whole month. I think my first day was April
twenty fourth.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Yeah, I don't go every single day, so I'm somewhere
around twenty five.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Classes since then. If you do want to try to
pick up yoga yoga with Adrian on YouTube, I know
you mentioned YouTube a minute ago, but that's a specific
account where she's got some really good stuff. Okay, up there.
She even has a digestive one and it's only twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Or so yoga for your digestion, sign me up.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
I need to pull that up. I guess I have
done that at home occasionally, but that's very different than
going to a hot yoga class, right, like I went
to with you. Yeah, and you know, Bin's really enjoying
it too. Like we walked out of class and we
walked past the other room because there's two studios, and
you're like, oh, there's just Been right there. And then
I went up to the window and was like, oh,
there he is.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Hey, yeah, and he was in my class this morning.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
Oh he was. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
I didn't know he would be there. And then I
saw the car and was like, okay, great, so PLoP
down right next to it. I know.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
That's why I feel like I'm like, maybe I need
to give him that space. So it's like what he's
been doing for two years now, so it's like his
gym or his yoga. Hey, man, ay Amy's here. I'm here.
He's probably like oh great, Okay, no, but that's the
thing again.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
You guys get along great, I.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Know, but yoga might be where you trying to meet somebody.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
Oh shoot, well maybe you're trying to meet somebody there.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Not yeah, well I have only been to two classes.
But yeah. I did walk by though, and he Been
did look good. I was like, oh, who's that guy?
And I was like, oh, that's been been there. What
if that's how it happens we get back together because
I see him and I'm like, oh, oh hey, just kidding.
Four Things Gratitude Journals. I'll say this since I mentioned
(49:38):
a minute ago. Four Things dot Com is where you
can find them, and all proceeds go to Haiti, specifically
Project Metashare in Haiti. They do great things with education,
maternity centers for new moms, expecting moms, and then also
postpartum care, so in helping the babies. And they're in
(49:58):
rural parts of Haiti where they don't have access to
a lot of healthcare like that, and it's a place
that's near and dear to my heart for sure. And
I think gratitude is a game changer. Last week, Chase
and I were talking about how stillness is my key
to success, that mantra. But in the stillness you find gratitude.
(50:21):
You can focus on gratitude, you can I was going
to say, find yourself, find yourself right, and then you
were free to think of all the things you have
appreciation for, which that in my meditation this morning, it's
guided and it's kind of like she would take you
through different parts of your life, like right, Now I
want you to think about a friend that you're thankful
for or friends. Now, think of a family member you're
(50:43):
thankful for. Now, think of something in your room, your
bedroom you're thankful for. It could be like your sheets,
or your slippers or whatever. Now go to your workplace.
What are you thankful for? It was a twenty minute
thing and like she would just walk you through and
so then your brain was guided to think about all
these different areas where you have things to be grateful for.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
Well, that's just a great how to people. It's hard to, yeah,
write create on your own.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
The Four Things Gratitude Journal is a it's a guide.
It's there's four things. It's not intimidating. Their stickers for
like when you don't have words. And then in the
very back we put prompts similar to the guide. It
it's like it's asking you questions that will prompt you
to write down things that you're thankful for. And so
(51:29):
we made it that way intentionally. We didn't want it
to be overwhelming. I'm thankful to anybody that's ever bought
one the journals that are out nowur is the third edition,
but we actually did two one point zero two point
zero and this is three point oh one point sold out.
Three point zero has two color options yep. And then
once those are gone, those will be gone. But someone
(51:50):
said that they were having a really bad day the
other day. They sent me a DM and that they
decided to go back. They had finished their gratitude journal
and they went back and reread it. Oh wow, and
that it completely turned their day around. And I thought
this might be sound cool. Coolest things I've heard regarding so.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
Little tip that you're the other people that have them. Yes,
read your journal and it could be something too.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
You could do with your family, Like everyone comes up
with one thing depending on how big your family is,
Like you and jet at your house. So each of
you could do two things and you fill out a
page of four or you could do you only do
it four times a week and you do one thing
a day. If if it's overwhelming to think of four
things every single day, you can just divide it up.
Do it as like a dinner around the table activity,
(52:33):
what's one thing you're grateful for today? If you've got
four people in your family, boom. If you've got eight people, well,
do two pages. Yeah, you're good. So again, four things
dot com for that, and then radio ame dot com
for links to well, also the Gratitude Journal you can
find it there. Pimp and Joy stuff which we'll be
doing a campaign soon for building homesper hero leading up
(52:55):
to fourth of July. Working on the details for that now,
so don't have a lot of them for you, but
maybe next week. Mary sent over some really cute Pimp
and Joy designs that I think you're going to love,
but we just don't have everything nailed down yet. And
then what else is up there? Oh? My Amazon Favorites
is up there. I guess I need to add a
foam roller, yeah, because I got mine on Amazon, but
(53:18):
I need to add it so you can click there
and see different things from the eye patches that I love,
the self tanner that I use, all the fun stuff,
the probiotic I have just Thrive on there too, But
the code on Amazon. They have it on Amazon, but
you can't use the four things code, right, So.
Speaker 1 (53:36):
I would go, yeah to the website, use Amy's code
and then do a subscription.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
That's what I'm on. Oh, to just Thrive smart on
a subscription Yeah, oh yeah, then I don't have to
go into it every single time.
Speaker 1 (53:45):
Yeah, I like my products to typically come from the manufacturer.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
Okay, good point, because those bars that you love, ye
the other.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
Not the Alpha ten bars, but some other bars that
I was I was on a subscription for years, like
three years.
Speaker 2 (54:01):
Probably, and I started to like them too. But again
I've shifted to more eating the Alpha ten. But I
like bouncing around because I love the new Go dark
chocolate pretzel bars. Is that gluten free? Yeah, I want
to try a little bite. If you have one, I
have one. We'll go downstairs. Okay, share one. But they're
so good, and I love no cow bars like I
have to rotate.
Speaker 1 (54:20):
I can't do those because the sugar alcohol anymore. But yes,
I know we don't want to burn out, so we
need a rotation. There's one at eros A Macha. I'm
going to buy that this week and then I'll circle back.
Speaker 2 (54:31):
With you to see if it's any good, okay, because.
Speaker 1 (54:33):
I know it has some caffeine and it maybe sixty
five milligrams, which is quite a bit for a bar,
I think, because the Alpha ten has thirty of just
naturally occurring caffeine. But yeah, so I'm always there buying caffeine,
and I'm like I don't want this.
Speaker 2 (54:48):
Back to the bars and Amazon. I'm sure sometimes they're legit,
but you're right that one specific brand I have to
buy from the manufacturer because when I got from Amazon,
they were disgusting. Yep. And I also saw him at
the grocery store, so I decided to buy one and
say so gross. But when I ordered it.
Speaker 1 (55:05):
Straight from them the source, so I was like, what
fresh as can be?
Speaker 2 (55:10):
What's the deal?
Speaker 1 (55:11):
I think storage warehouse shipping something is different?
Speaker 2 (55:16):
Heat yeah, something okay? Well at Radio Amy on Instagram.
And then Kat doesn't have an Instagram, but she has
at Restore in Brooklyn on Sundays from twelve to four.
If you want to go get cry with your fee
or something, meet me if you want to hang out.
If you want to hang out and talk mushrooms and
cordyceps and adaptogens and whatnot. Which don't forget her code
(55:39):
for the alpha tin bars, which the ten is not
the number ten, and the alpha it's T and N
for tennessee. Yep, that can be confusing, but it's not.
We explained it. And then her code is cat ten
Kat one zero for ten percent off. And don't ask
me why she has a code she does because she
dated the guy. Don't forget, but it is cool. Yeah,
(56:01):
I used to go, so I'm grateful for it no
matter what, which I do think is very sweet that
you are supportive of his bars. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
It's a fun journey because I like them a lot.
I like them a lot too.
Speaker 2 (56:13):
Very good. Okay, everybody have the day that you need
to have, Kat anything else?
Speaker 1 (56:19):
Five star of you? Please? I like and subscribe?
Speaker 2 (56:23):
Oh for the podcast, yes, yes, or for both, but yes,
we're trying to be better at that. But you're a
good You're like a good pr person for me. Whenever
we'und in public, we'll be talking to people and Catvill
say Amy has a podcast and I'm like, oh, stop, have.
Speaker 1 (56:37):
Your heart and I'm so surprised that we go to
eros today and I'm like, I'm gonna ask this girl
if she listens to the podcast and Amy.
Speaker 2 (56:43):
He's like, please don't.
Speaker 1 (56:45):
I said, I can't believe you get embarrassed, Like, yeah,
I love to support it, like I just I love
to do that with everybody though, Like if I have
a friend and I believe in their product and what
they're doing in the world, is just like why wouldn't
I want to be like, hey, do you guys listen
to my friend here? Right?
Speaker 2 (57:01):
You're a cheerleader, which I appreciate, so thank you for that,
but just don't do it if I'm around, because I
get embarrassed. But it is okay, yes, to ask for
people to take the time to rate and review if
they want to thank you. You're welcome, okay, y'all, Bye bye,
