A listener, Natalee, emailed asking about the Happy Light that Amy uses, so they also talk about that and then Kat goes over 5 habits of the successful. How many of them do you do?

Here is the Happy Li...

We’re digging into the hidden reason why “just listen to your body” often fails women who’ve used food to cope with stress, loneliness, or chronic dieting for decades.

Today’s quote: “Therapy should have open houses like elementary school so my therapist can meet everyone I talk about” - @steadfastcounseling 

Inspired by Annie Downs, “That Sounds Fun”, Amy & Kat talk about making a list of things that sound fun to you during the stressful holiday season (rather than just focusing on the things that sound like a drag on your to do list). Ideas include:

OUTWEIGH: In this episode of Outweigh we’re tossing out the tired “New Year, New You” playbook. Instead of sprinting into another year burdened by rules, restrictions, and impossible goals, we’re exploring what it looks like to trade stress for self-compassion and external pressure for true inner alignment. Rather than chasing some perfect version of yourself, what if you focused on creating your h...

Well, this podcast is a community that is here for each other with all kinds of reminders that you're not alone. Amy especially feels this when she gets to meet y'all face to face and when she reads your emails. Today's episode is from our comm...

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “You can be healing and feel broken at the same time. Healing isn’t a destination we reach where we are perfect and at peace all the time. Healing is a journey that involves accepting and embracing ourselves as we break, as we heal, and as we reconstruct.” This quote resonated with Amy and she finds so much comfort with the words: “heali...

OUTWEIGH: As we close out the year, it’s easy to fall into the trap of measuring our worth by the scale or the “perfect” body we never quite achieved. In this episode of Outweigh, we’re challenging that narrative head-on. Instead of focusing on what your body didn’t accomplish, let’s celebrate the deeper, more meaningful wins that have nothing to do with a number. From emotional growth and bounda...

Amy takes a heartfelt trip down memory lane after reading through some old emails. As she was searching for a recipe, in honor of her mom's birthday, she came across emails that made her laugh, cry and reflect—including a scary moment when her dad went missing for a week.

OUTWEIGH: “She spent decades caring for everyone else. But at 62, Lisa finally learned how to care for herself.”

Meet Lisa.

For over 20 years, Lisa felt trapped in a relentless food and diet prison. Food carried the weight of shame and guilt, and she was stuck in the endless cycle of dieting, losing, and regaining.

And after the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Lisa poured herself into being a car...
