4 Things with Amy Brown

“Can we stop screwing around and just frost the whole pop tart? We have the technology!” This is a quote that Amy feels at her core. However, Kat, brings a more serious quote about seeking peace for yourself instead of trying to change others!!! Deep! Then Amy & Kat chat about all kinds of things from hiding important documents in the freezer, to end of life thoughts about being so difficult to please, to cheering on our people...

Kat joins Amy to help her share something that has not been a secret, but that she has kept private so she could heal and take care of her family. She is so grateful for the love and support during this difficult season and hopes that this glimpse into her life will help others going through something similar feel less alone.

OUTWEIGH: Amy has had many disordered eating behaviors over the last 25 years, binge eating being one of them. A couple of questions Amy had early on in her recovery from binge eating were: "What is the difference between binge eating and overeating?" and "How can I tell the difference between the voices of my lower brain (that causes binges) and my higher brain (that could stop me from the binges)?" She answers both of those quest...
