Speaker 1 (00:03):
Happy Tuesday, everybody, Amy here, and this is the fifth Thing,
which used to be total Q and a episode I
would answer your questions, which I'm still doing that here,
but just changed it around a little bit to where
there might just be some email shoutouts that I think
would be beneficial for other people in our four Things
community to hear, because y'all have really amazing opinions or
(00:25):
thoughts or ideas or things that you've heard elsewhere that
you want to share, and this is a place where
I can do that and shout out your emails. So
I will answer questions, but I also might just be
reading an email from some of you. Also appreciate y'all
sending them in. If you have thoughts or questions, send
them to four Things with Amy Brown at gmail dot
(00:45):
com and put fifth Thing in the subject line so
that I see that. We do always start Tuesday episodes
off with a quote. And I'm just going to share
with you all something I posted on shop a Splaws
Instagram account the other day because I do run that account.
Suah is the business that Mary and I have that
supports Haiti. We sell different things, but it has an
Instagram and I run it, so if you'll are on
(01:08):
Instagram and you want to go follow that, that would
be amazing at shop spa ees pw A and a
Spua means hope in Haitian creole in case you're wondering.
But what I posted was actually a repost that someone
had posted at Ja Shetty, so I'll just give him credit,
But here's what he had put up. Self care isn't
just drinking water and going to sleep early. Self care
(01:31):
is taking a break when things become overwhelming, saying no
to things you do not want to do, allowing yourself
to cry, asking for help from those around you, and
doing things that make you happy. So just want to
put that little reminder out there for you all, because
self care is so important, but it looks different for everybody.
But remember it's a lot more than just drinking water
(01:53):
and sleep. Those are just things you should be doing
that's not necessarily self care. And I really feel like
the last few years, more and more people are starting
to realize, including myself, just how important sleep is and
how we need to prioritize it. So that would be
my encouragement to you guys for sure. And speaking of encouragement,
you'll have been a huge encouragement to me already, since
(02:13):
I was telling you all last week that I need
gratitude accountability partners, and you'll have sent me some d
m s and you've been posting and I've gotten some
emails about that, so thank you, and pretty much along
with the four things theme, you just write down on
your phone or in a journal or maybe an r
spa four things journal, if you've got one four things
every day that you're thankful for, or as many days
(02:35):
as you can, and let's just hold each other accountable
for that, because unlast Thursday's episode told y'all that if
you have an accountability partner, you're more likely to accomplish
whatever it is you're trying to get done. Okay, let's
get into the emails. This one is from Linda hey Amy.
Thursday's episode centering on gratitude really hit me. I agree,
gratitude helps lift me up when I'm having a bad
(02:56):
day or a week or a month. I also have
gotten out of the happy of gratitude and I'm working
to take a few minutes each day try to be
grateful again. One of the business podcasts I listened to
is Shark Tanks Damon John where he interviews other business
people Anyway, one question that he asks is what do
you do the first ninety minutes of your day? It's
(03:16):
surprising how many have included time to think on the
day ahead. They schedule the time. This includes family and
personal time. What I'm trying to say is that I
need to schedule time for reflection and gratitude. I'm going
to schedule it for when I'm getting settled in the evening.
Just a helpful suggestion. So, yeah, do you all take
(03:37):
time at the beginning of your day to carve out
exactly how your day is gonna flow? I don't really.
I will say when coronavirus first started getting really crazy
and we were shelter in place, and my husband really
started to help me form a schedule because being at
home all the time and the kids being home, we
really had to focus. So I think I started to
(03:57):
finally make that shift and we're really getting a handle
on my schedule. But I still need to take time
to plan out and carve out even the family time
in the personal time. Is weird? Does that sounds because
it sounds so impersonal to have to carve out when
you're going to be intentional about spending time with your family.
But what I'm trying to do is really shut it
down in the evenings. There are days in the past
(04:20):
where I used to just work kind of all different
hours in the day, and so that would include in
the evening and then late at night before bed. It
doesn't mean I was working literally from sun up to sundown,
but I was taking breaks in between and then revisiting
the work. And now I'm trying to block it in
to a nine hour day and really get everything done
(04:40):
that I need to get done, sometimes maybe even more
hours than that, but also making sure that I get
a workout in and that I get a little break
in there whatever that looks like. I can handle phone calls,
I can handle Instagram stuff. I can work on the podcast,
I can work on a squaw, I can work on
the Bobby Bone Show. There's just different punks that I'm
(05:01):
trying to block out together. But at the end of
the day, when it's five thirty or six o'clock and
it's dinner time, I shut it down and then I'm
not working again until the following day. That's something that
I'm really trying to do. So that would be my
encouragement to y'all if you can do that too. But
when it comes to when you practice gratitude, that's really
up to you. Now, Linda was saying she's going to
(05:21):
carve it out for the evening, but some people it
might be better for you if you wake up and
practice it first thing in the morning, or if you
do it on your lunch break. There really are no rules.
You just have to figure out what's going to be
best for you in your day. But if you've got
a lot of successful business people going on this podcast
talking about how they carve out time in the first
ninety minutes of their day, maybe we need to start
(05:43):
paying attention to that. Okay. Next email is from Jennifer. Hey, Amy,
I'm behind on the podcast and just heard you say
on a June episode that you lost followers and listeners,
So I wanted to write and say that you are
on the right side of history. I appreciate your episodes
addressing important issues like racism. I agree with you what
you said at one point that you hope the ex
listeners will keep their hearts open to hearing about others
(06:05):
experiences and one day they come back. I think I'm
a lot more liberal than most of your followers, So
I want to tell you that we exist. You have liberal,
leftist Democrat followers. I am thirty one, live in North Carolina,
grew up in California. I'm white, but I'm an immigration lawyer,
so I see racism secondhand every day. Well, Jennifer, thanks,
(06:27):
I really sometimes yeah, don't always think I have a
very diverse group of listeners, But I love when I
get notes from people that may look different than I'm
picturing you guys to be. And it's not because I
want you all to be any particular way. I just
assume and I shouldn't do that. And so I'm so
(06:48):
thankful for this email and thankful for the diversity, and
I want to hear all different kinds of opinions. And
even if I say something that you want to counter
or share thoughts on, like, we can have thought full conversations,
and I think that it's important that we keep dialogue
going and not necessarily about this. I don't think we're
disagreeing about anything here, but who knows. I may say
(07:11):
something in the future, and if you can send me
a thoughtful email about it, who knows if I'll agree
with you. But we can have dialogue. I know that
I've certainly had that about certain topics and I appreciate it.
And I know that most of you listening, I'll just
go and say, all of you, because that's my help,
are kind and thoughtful and forward thinking and want to
(07:33):
be a part of a bigger picture and make people's
lives better, big or small, whatever that looks like for you.
So thank you Jennifer for the email. And I just
came across this quote from Robert F. Kennedy, like it
was put up somewhere where I was searching something, and
I was like, you know what that kind of pertains
to this, So I'm just going to share it with
(07:53):
you all. Each time a man stands up for an ideal,
or acts to improve the lot of others, or strive
x out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple
of hope and crossing each other from a million different
centers of energy and daring those ripples to build a
current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression
and resistance. So just know that a ripple joined with
(08:17):
a bunch of other ripples can really create something big.
So don't feel like anything you're doing is like it's
not really going to make a difference, Like no, it
all adds up. Next email is from Melissa. Hey, I
hope you're well. How would you and Lisa recommend sharing
the Outweigh series with someone? I know a few people
that could benefit from it, but I don't want to
(08:38):
hurt their feelings or potentially push them further into disordered
eating by sharing. I want to thank you and Lisa
so much for doing that way. I've never had an
eating disorder, but there have been seasons of my life
where my habits definitely fall into disordered eating. The series
was so helpful and thought provoking. Melissa, I would say,
maybe you just send it to a bunch of friends,
(09:01):
whether they have I mean, I wouldn't just pinpoint the
friends that have the eating disorders. Just think of anybody
in your life. I feel like even if you have
never had any issues, you could still benefit from knowing
maybe with some of your family members, or your best
friends or your co workers could be going through And
then I don't think they'll get offended as long as
(09:21):
you're not like here, you really need to listen to this,
this is for you. I think you just share with
them like, Hey, this is something I listened to and
it was really helpful to me and thought provoking. So
I'm sharing it with a bunch of my friends because
I think it's an important conversation for a lot of
us to be having right now. I don't think that
the series would trigger them. I mean, we do have
(09:43):
the warning in the beginning, and that is my hope
that nobody listening would get triggered, and we try to
be really thoughtful about that. But most I think it's
awesome that you were able to take away some stuff
from it, and I think it's awesome that you're wanting
to keep your friends in mind. But send it to
a bunch of people and just be honest with them
that it was helpful and thought provoking to you and
(10:03):
leave it at that. If they listen, they listen. If
they don't, they don't, and if they do, maybe then
they feel like now they have somebody they can talk to,
and that would be you, because sometimes people feel like
there's nobody they can go to that will understand what
they're thinking and feeling and doing. And there's so much
shame around eating disorders and disordered eating that a lot
of times it's not talked about. And that's what we
(10:25):
want to do, is break that stigma that it's okay
to talk about it and you're not alone, and that
a life without a disordered eating outweighs everything. So we
want everybody that's shackled by something like this to find
freedom from it. Okay. Next email is from Savannah. Hey, Amy,
(10:52):
can you give some advice on how you handled your
emotions and heart during your fertility journey. I'm going through
our current pregnancy loss and struggling with others announcing their pregnancies,
attending baby showers, et cetera. It can be so hard
to keep the faith and find joy. Would love your perspective. Well, Savannah,
First of all, I'm really sorry that you're having to
go through that. I have not experienced pregnancy loss, although
(11:14):
I have experienced fertility issues and wasn't able to ever
get pregnant, but losing a pregnancy. My heart is with
you and many others I know that are listening. That
can relate. But when your friends start to announce their
babies left and right, so it seems, and then yeah,
you get invited to showers, it is hard, I know,
(11:35):
but you also want to be happy. For your friends.
I think that what you've got to do first and
foremost is acknowledge those feelings. And depending how close you
are to some of these people announcing their pregnancies or
having showers, it's okay for you to express what you're
feeling and for them to be a part of that.
And even with your partner or your husband, boyfriend, whatever
(11:55):
it looks like for you, that they know that everything
that you're feeling. That way, they can have the freedom
to share with you what they're feeling. Because it's a
very heavy, confusing time, especially if you don't know exactly
what is wrong, or even if you do know what's wrong,
it's still hard. Maybe do you have a counselor that
you could speak to, or have you thought about going
(12:18):
to therapy? I wish I had done more therapy when
I was going through that. At the time, I didn't
at all. I definitely try to handle it on my
own or a group of friends you could speak with,
or anybody else in your circle that has experience fertility issues.
And then kind of knowing what are all your options?
Are you seeing a doctor to try to figure out
a plan, and knowing what you guys can be doing
(12:41):
and then I mean, just don't blame yourself. Make sure
you're not doing that. I feel like my husband and
I both did that and it's just a huge waste
of time. I mean, and try to stay as optimistic
as possible, but also be realistic. Don't like live in
a fairy tale obviously. I mean, I think you know
the reality being that you've gone through such loss already,
(13:01):
but try to stay positive and don't let the negative
just overwhelm you. And then when you have those emotions,
like gosh, do you have outlets for some of these
things that you're feeling and going through, So finding some
healthy ways to deal with some of the stuff. I
just know that it's hard, and I want you to
take care of yourself because the stress and anxiety that
(13:22):
is around that is real too, which is not good
for us at all. So make sure that you're taking
care of yourself, which the self care quote at the
beginning of the episode definitely is something that you could use.
And just best of luck to you. I know it's hard. Um,
maybe you start exploring other options like foster care or adoption,
(13:42):
and that could be the journey to parenthood for you. Guys.
That's how my husband and I became parents and we
never pictured that being what we were going to do,
but gosh, it's it's been awesome. So you never know
the doors that will open for you once you make
peace with what's happening in your fertility journey. But sending
you hugs for sure, and I appreciate y'all sending your
(14:05):
emails as always. Again, hit me up at four Things
with Amy Brown at gmail dot com or an Instagram
at Radio Amy, and don't forget the shop is spat
Instagram because I'm gonna try to be more interactive on
their speaking of carving out time and carving out time
to make sure that I help with d m s.
They're all of them. And if you want to create
a four Things tote or still don't know for sure
(14:28):
if Friday is going to be happening, but we're we
might launch four Things customized t shirts and I can
help you all come up with words and order and
design for different things. So you can send me d
m s on shops spat as well. And if you're
getting a reply on there, it is me. People are
asking is this really Amy or who am I talking to?
And that's me? So I hope you all have a
great rest of your week, and I'll see you on Thursday.
(14:51):
I'll be putting up my interview that I did with
Glenn and Doyle, who is author of Love Royer, a
couple of other books, but I've read Love Oyer and
unt and of course i was talking to her about
Untamed because that was her latest book. So if you
are interested in that, make sure you check out Thursday's episode. Alright,
see then th
Happy Tuesday, everybody, Amy here, and this is the fifth Thing,
which used to be total Q and a episode I
would answer your questions, which I'm still doing that here,
but just changed it around a little bit to where
there might just be some email shoutouts that I think
would be beneficial for other people in our four Things
community to hear, because y'all have really amazing opinions or
(00:25):
thoughts or ideas or things that you've heard elsewhere that
you want to share, and this is a place where
I can do that and shout out your emails. So
I will answer questions, but I also might just be
reading an email from some of you. Also appreciate y'all
sending them in. If you have thoughts or questions, send
them to four Things with Amy Brown at gmail dot
(00:45):
com and put fifth Thing in the subject line so
that I see that. We do always start Tuesday episodes
off with a quote. And I'm just going to share
with you all something I posted on shop a Splaws
Instagram account the other day because I do run that account.
Suah is the business that Mary and I have that
supports Haiti. We sell different things, but it has an
Instagram and I run it, so if you'll are on
(01:08):
Instagram and you want to go follow that, that would
be amazing at shop spa ees pw A and a
Spua means hope in Haitian creole in case you're wondering.
But what I posted was actually a repost that someone

But here's what he had put up. Self care isn't
just drinking water and going to sleep early. Self care
(01:31):

(10:52):
can you give some advice on how you handled your
emotions and heart during your fertility journey. I'm going through
our current pregnancy loss and struggling with others announcing their pregnancies,
attending baby showers, et cetera. It can be so hard
to keep the faith and find joy. Would love your perspective. Well, Savannah,
First of all, I'm really sorry that you're having to
go through that. I have not experienced pregnancy loss, although
(11:14):
I have experienced fertility issues and wasn't able to ever
get pregnant, but losing a pregnancy. My heart is with
you and many others I know that are listening. That
can relate. But when your friends start to announce their
babies left and right, so it seems, and then yeah,
you get invited to showers, it is hard, I know,
(11:35):
but you also want to be happy. For your friends.
I think that what you've got to do first and
foremost is acknowledge those feelings. And depending how close you
are to some of these people announcing their pregnancies or
having showers, it's okay for you to express what you're
feeling and for them to be a part of that.
And even with your partner or your husband, boyfriend, whatever
(11:55):
it looks like for you, that they know that everything
that you're feeling. That way, they can have the freedom
to share with you what they're feeling. Because it's a
very heavy, confusing time, especially if you don't know exactly
what is wrong, or even if you do know what's wrong,
it's still hard. Maybe do you have a counselor that
you could speak to, or have you thought about going
(12:18):
to therapy? I wish I had done more therapy when
I was going through that. At the time, I didn't
at all. I definitely try to handle it on my
own or a group of friends you could speak with,
or anybody else in your circle that has experience fertility issues.
And then kind of knowing what are all your options?
Are you seeing a doctor to try to figure out
a plan, and knowing what you guys can be doing
(12:41):
and then I mean, just don't blame yourself. Make sure
you're not doing that. I feel like my husband and
I both did that and it's just a huge waste
of time. I mean, and try to stay as optimistic
as possible, but also be realistic. Don't like live in
a fairy tale obviously. I mean, I think you know
the reality being that you've gone through such loss already,
(13:01):
but try to stay positive and don't let the negative
just overwhelm you. And then when you have those emotions,
like gosh, do you have outlets for some of these
things that you're feeling and going through, So finding some
healthy ways to deal with some of the stuff. I
just know that it's hard, and I want you to
take care of yourself because the stress and anxiety that
(13:22):
is around that is real too, which is not good
for us at all. So make sure that you're taking
care of yourself, which the self care quote at the
beginning of the episode definitely is something that you could use.
And just best of luck to you. I know it's hard. Um,
maybe you start exploring other options like foster care or adoption,
(13:42):
and that could be the journey to parenthood for you. Guys.
That's how my husband and I became parents and we
never pictured that being what we were going to do,
but gosh, it's it's been awesome. So you never know
the doors that will open for you once you make
peace with what's happening in your fertility journey. But sending
you hugs for sure, and I appreciate y'all sending your
(14:05):
emails as always. Again, hit me up at four Things
with Amy Brown at gmail dot com or an Instagram
at Radio Amy, and don't forget the shop is spat
Instagram because I'm gonna try to be more interactive on
their speaking of carving out time and carving out time
to make sure that I help with d m s.
They're all of them. And if you want to create
a four Things tote or still don't know for sure
(14:28):
if Friday is going to be happening, but we're we
might launch four Things customized t shirts and I can
help you all come up with words and order and
design for different things. So you can send me d
m s on shops spat as well. And if you're
getting a reply on there, it is me. People are
asking is this really Amy or who am I talking to?
And that's me? So I hope you all have a
great rest of your week, and I'll see you on Thursday.
(14:51):

couple of other books, but I've read Love Oyer and

Untamed because that was her latest book. So if you
