Reminder: You are not responsible for how others feel or react. Just because someone's feelings are hurt, doesn’t necessarily mean you did anything wrong!

I used to think the SAME THING about my own struggles with my weight and my own inability to stick with whatever the ‘diet of the month’ I promised myself I would ...
The first words out of Ben's mouth are: "It's only awkward if you make it awkward" after Amy shares that 1 of the 4 things she's thankful for (during '4 Things Gratitude') is her co-parenting relationship with Ben and being able to celebrate his birthday as a family because some may find it odd that they get along so well, or awkward that they would record a podcast together, but nothing about this is awkward and the only goal is to potentially help others in a similar situation.

I’m here to feel with you and let you know you’re not alone.” -Brene Brown Amy reads a few listener emails: one about connection & sharing things, one about a co-worker conflict, and another about evolving (which FYI: if you’re not evolving, you're dead!) Kat gives us something to keep in mind when it comes to what we share publicly (like on social media or other platforms): “There is this culture that our whole lives can be exposed if we want them to be.” (Sometimes just sha...

OUTWEIGH: Yep....it's true! Even the most confident, self-assured, empowered women can revisit old thought patterns.. This does NOT have to mean anything, it does NOT mean that you have backslid or regressed, and in fact, it's totally normal. What matters most is how you RESPOND (instead of react) to those thoughts. And that's why on this episode of Outweigh, we share some very important distinctions that you'll want to keep in mind around this subject specifically. Amy & Leanne are back again for the SEVENTH episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing...
