Speaker 1 (00:03):
Okay, so up to things. We're going to really try
to make this a fifteen minute Q and A still
has never happened. But also I've got a idea for
the Tuesday episodes. I needed to remind me that I
want to start doing this. Chase is here with me,
but I want to start the Tuesday Q and A
episodes off with a quote idea. So I have my
(00:26):
quote ready for today. It's from Mother Teresa and it's kind.
Words can be short and easy to speak, but their
echoes are truly endless. And so it's just a reminder
like if you're kind to somebody, whether it's a stranger
or somebody you know, when you say something like it
could be the one thing that turns their day around.
(00:46):
It could be the one thing they needed to hear.
It could be the thing that they're going to hear
over and over that echo in their head of like
oh so and so that person said this to me,
and that might be something that just echoes for them.
So and it's really simple, I mean, like Mother Treth,
short and easy to speak. Okay, So first question is
(01:07):
from this one's from Molly. Okay, she wants to know
have you read Jessica Simpson's book If not, you totally should.
I think you would like it. Okay, Well I didn't
read it, but I listened to the audio version. Does
that count these days? I was so obsessed with finishing
it that I was listening to it while I was
getting ready, while I was working out, while I was driving.
(01:28):
I got through that pretty quickly, and I was very impressed.
I learned all kinds of things about her that I
had no idea. I think sometimes we assume because some
people can be so public, and there was a time
growing up well I mean, you know, not not she
was like a childhood start to me, but like in
(01:48):
some of my formative years, like I was watching her
and I thought I knew everything about her because you know,
they invited us into their home on Newlyweds, and then
her nick we're getting a divorce, and I was devastated,
and you know, it was all the things, but I
just thought I always knew what was going on with
her and the crazy things that had happened to her,
And really it just was a reminder that you have
no idea, You have no idea what people are going through,
(02:10):
um famous or not famous. So I was reminded of
the word grace to keep that in mind for people. Um,
that's something I try to remind myself a lot about
and we bring it up here on the podcast because
I think it's important. You never know, Like I think,
there was even times recently where I was seeing how
(02:31):
she was she would act, and by recently, I mean
maybe in the last five years or so. I don't
know when that interview was from her when she was
on Ellen where she was totally out of it, but
she addresses that in the book, and I remember watching that.
I mean, like, what is wrong with her? Like she's crazy?
But she's not. I mean, yes, she had some stuff
(02:52):
going on, but you know, we all can and will
and do at some point. And when you take it
all the way back to some of the stuff that
she had to deal with in her childhood and then
how she learned to cope with things and deal with
things with alcohol and pills and whatnot, it all makes
sense and you just have it's like, oh, and then
(03:16):
hearing it from her perspective, I just kept thinking, grace, grace, grace,
and she was so good. You need even as a
guy like I think that you would like it. Probably well,
I'm intrigued just a little bit because I remember the Newlyweds, right, yeah,
the in TV show, And I was like, I mean
when you were kind of mentioning that it was so
in depth, I'm like, no, I mean she gets into
(03:38):
it when she did John Mayer and what her divorce
was really like I think we thought we knew, but
we had no idea. Um kind of like isn't that
the tagline for Real World or it was when that
show was on. It's like, you think you know, but
you have no idea and you know that's that. Yeah,
(03:59):
I feel like that be her tagline. It could have
been called Jessica Simpson an open book. You think you know,
but you have no idea. And I feel like that's
you learn a lot about people when they put out,
you know, a book like that where they go all
the way back and share with you the ins and
outs of their life and their story and um, what
what made them who they are? And I thought she
has been through a lot, but I found to be interesting.
(04:21):
She's like, I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't change any
of it. And because she's grown from it and it
led her on the path to where she is today,
and yeah, and she's a pretty successful business one. Yeah,
her Jessica Simpson Lane is a billion dollar companies. That's
what I thought I read, which I would have never
She's extremely honest in this book, and yeah, she talks
(04:42):
about that and Chucks. But when she dated Tony Romo,
I mean there was stuff that she brought up about
him where I was like, all the Dallas fans were
haters that my husband is a big Dallas Cowboys fan.
And I remember people treating her so poorly, and you know,
she didn't they didn't want her games. And I didn't
really realize this at the time that she addresses how
Tony never stuck up for her, and I was like, oh, dang, lame.
(05:07):
But she has a story about him in his house,
and like, checks you have to. I don't want to
ruin it if you want to listen to it. But
and then I cried at the end, just so that
you know, yeah, Mary just finished it too. I saw her.
I know that she was listening to it as well,
but I just saw that she posted on Instagram like
earlier today that she finished it. So I haven't messaged
her yet to see if she cried but I did.
(05:29):
There was a surprise at the end, but I was
not expecting and it made me cry. So really, it's good.
That's okay. I like it. Follow up with you on this, yes,
all right, let's keep this moving. The next one is
from page Hey Amy, I love your podcast and I
listened first thing when it comes out. I was wondering
how you wake up so early and still seem to
(05:51):
have so much energy throughout the day. I never seemed
to feel well rested and struggle to wake up early.
Do you take any vitamins or supplements to help you
sleep or give you energy? Well, first of all, I
think you start with the sleep, Like, let's look at
how much sleep are you getting? Are you getting the
seven to nine hours? I know, nine seems crazy because
we've just I know, it seems like that's what you're
(06:13):
supposed to get, but that seems impossible, so you maybe
get six or seven. But really people say, now our
goal should be eight or nine, and that's I'm trying
to make sleep such a priority, which waking up super
early that means I go to bed super early, and
we and I always have because of the morning show.
But you know, even on the weekends if I don't
have to be up late, I still my husband and
(06:35):
I are trying to get in bed early, just so
we don't break that routine, in that rhythm. Uh. So
start with sleep. Let's look at how much water are
you drinking. I think, um, water and take can be
huge on energy levels. And then are you eating regularly
and adequately for your body or giving it the fuel
that it needs. Food is fuel, and I think sometimes
(06:57):
as a society we can run off caffeine. I know
I have been guilty of this, but once I started
to shift into not being like scared of eating and food. Um,
I you know, instead of just drinking a bunch of
coffees all day or Macho Late's or tea to kind
of curb my appetite, I I've had more energy. So
(07:19):
make sure you're not turning to caffeine. If you feel
a slump, like, maybe it's really that you need an
apple because that can energize you just as much as
a cup of coffee. Uh. And then also the supplements
I take, Like I've told you before, I take a
probiotic every day, UM, occasionally take food in zigns. I
take magnesium before I sleep, and then I take Ashwa
(07:39):
Ganda during the day. And the brand that I like,
I have brands up on my Amazon page for all
those like radio Amy dot com if you want to
find those things, and then the austraa Ganda. I like Himalaya.
It's an organic supplement that you can take that boost
your energy and reduces stress. So it's something that I've
(08:00):
been into. I used to do a powder form and
throw it in my smoothies, but I wasn't always having
a smoothie every day, so now I just take it
in the pill form. So Himalaya is the company and Oshwak.
You may even hear I do commercials here on the podcast.
There was one point I think they had like a code.
Maybe the code was Amy check up, give that a try,
(08:22):
and like you got a free bottle, but I don't
know if they there was only a limited number of
bottles of that. So those are the only supplements that
I take. UM. Besides I guess its iCal proteins considered
a supplement UM, which I've started to try. Ancient Nutrition.
It's another brand that makes collagen and UM. I also
just started some of their probiotics too, because I ran
(08:43):
out of my Kimberley Snyder ones. So, but I don't know,
just another brand for you to check out if you
see it at the store. I actually like it because
I do not like all collagen powders. Some of them
taste nasty even though they say unflavored, they're not heads up. Okay,
(09:11):
A good stuff. The next one is from Madison. Hey, Amy, So,
I'm looking to see if you have any great go
to recipes for protein shakes or smoothies. I'm getting a
little burnout on my chocolate spinache and avocado combo that
I do every day. Oh yeah, I mean you gotta
mix it up. I could see getting burnt out for sure.
But I guess if you already have chocolate protein powder,
I would recommend throwing in some fresh mint and make
(09:34):
it like a mint chocolate chip shake. But if you're
really burn out, then you might need to get some
vanilla protein powder. And I like Garden of Life. They
make a good one. The Garden of Life actually makes
a good one that my kids love. It's what I
make their protein being cakes out of. And it's vanilla
chi that sounds good. That is a good one. And
(09:55):
you could maybe do that with some almond mill and
frozen blueberries or a frozen banana and a little bit
of spinage or greens in there. So be well by Kelly.
She has a lot of good smoothie recipes up on
her blog if you want to go check those out.
But I mean, I just kind of try not to
(10:17):
think about it too much, play around with it, play
around with different things. Don't be scared. The only thing
I say with smoothies, and I try to watch it. Nothing.
I don't even think anything is bad. But even if
you go to be well by Kelly's, you'll see a
lot of hers don't have fruit. But she's trying to
watch you spiking your insulin level and so that's why
she's not throwing a bunch of fruit in her smoothies.
(10:38):
And when you buy a smoothie out you kind of
need to um watch out for that because they'll load
them up with fruit. And fruit is great for you,
but it can be high in sugar. So it just
depending on if you don't want to like crash after.
But everybody is different. But doesn't mean you can't have
fruit in there, but just play around with the ingredients
(10:59):
that do you have a good do you like I'm
pretty simple. I do a banana strawberries and a lot
of spinache, and then like protein, I do a protein shakes. Separate.
It's really to get because I'm bad at getting this
load spinache in there. That smart um mango is another
(11:20):
good one with vanilla, Like if you have a plain
vanilla um protein powder and then you do like some
frozen mango and maybe like a chunk of frozen pineapple
or something, it tastes like a pin of colata. So
try that. Those are good ones. Maybe add some rum.
Just kidding, all right. Last one's from Tracy. Hey, what
(11:42):
is the snack you said you were addicted to on
the Bobby Bones Show the other day? Hip something? It's hippies.
H h I P p e A s like hip
pas and they're like these, I don't know, almost like cheetos.
But for your version. Again, I'm learning myself and this
(12:03):
is new for me, and you'll learn on the Disordered
Eating podcast that we have coming up, like trying not
to categorize foods as bad and good. Um, even just
now talking about putting fruit in the smoothies, like I
was trying to be careful with my language because I'm
learning and I want to shift the way I speak
to you and I speak to myself about food and
you know, what is your body asking for and what
(12:25):
is going to be nourishing to your body? And yeah,
so I don't want to call it like a healthier Cheeto,
because then that's me implying that cheetos are bad. But Lisa,
who is the Well Necessities is her Instagram handle at
the Well Necessities and she's going to be um doing
the Disordered Eating series with me and I am so
(12:46):
excited about it. But she will help us understand why
that not why avoiding that type of language is important
mentally for you if you if you have a weird
relationship with food, if you don't, then ignore me. It
on Hippies is the name, and they're really good, and
my favorite flavor is vegan white cheddar. They have them
at Target and wherever. But that's what the snack I'm
(13:08):
addicted to, like they're for my kids, but then I
end up eating them all and then my kids don't
have snacks other snacks that I'm really into right now,
which this isn't what we brought up on the Bobby
Bone Child but Bobby Bone Show. But I will say
purely Elizabeth Chocolate Sea salt granola. Oh, it's so good.
It's my jam um rice cakes with almond butter and honey.
It's so good. Uh like sea salt popcorn. I like
(13:32):
either Boom Chicken pop or skinny pop. We buy them
in a little single, couldn't I say that single snack
sized packs, which are good. And my kids also like
those two. And then I am obsessed with endangered species
almond and sea salt dark chocolate bars right now. It's
I just tried it here and it's so good. Normally
(13:54):
with the endangered species, I eat the eight percent dark.
But I was at the store and the almonds. He
saw it spoke to me and I was like, I
guess I'd better buy it. I know it's only, but
that's okay. I will live. And oh, it's so good.
It's like that perfect mix of like salty chocolate. And
definitely try that out if you. I mean, I got
(14:16):
at the turnip truck, but I know Whole Foods has it. Target?
I think, oh, actually the bar we eight I got
it Target, so boom. I thought I got it a
turnip truck, but Target has it. We're at fourteen minutes
in sixteen seconds, and that's all the questions, So like,
what should we ramfle about for? Don't you try to
buy yourself twenty seconds and wrap it up? Okay? So um,
(14:38):
that's awesome. Yeah, if anybody knows Jessica Simpson trying to
get her on the podcast, I think be amazing. After
listening to her book, I want to sit down with her.
And one time I saw her at a restaurant and
I did not say hi to her. It was probably
two thousand eight, two thousand nine, maybe it could have
(14:59):
been two thousand in but she was at Chewies in Austin,
at the O G. Chewies on Barton Springs, the original,
and she was sitting in a booth with some people
and I was there with my friend Jill, and we
were sitting at the bar eating and I was like,
oh my gosh, there's Jessica Simpson. And I literally had
on Jessica Simpson's shoes, but I mean I couldn't. I
didn't want to. Like the rule you don't talk to
people when they're eating or they're with their family. You
(15:21):
realize you're going to ramble about Jessica. Now, now we're
in fifteen minutes in fifteen seconds, So I hope you'll
have an amazing Tuesday. Don't forget that Mother Teresa quote
that I told you about. Be kind to people. Say
kind words because um, they're easy to speak, but their
echoes are truly endless. Not mistake
