OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to continue the conversation from last week and dives deeper into the question of "Does it ever get easier?".

OUTWEIGH: On this week's episode of Outweigh, Leanne tackles a question on every woman's mind stuck in the diet-and-weight-loss cycle: "Does it ever get easier?" Leanne challenges the idea of quick-fix diets and restrictive plans, arguing that they simply create more of the yo-yo effect that you're desperate to break free from AND leave you feeling like a prisoner in your own body. Instead, she proposes a different approach: focusing on the "why" behind your struggles with food and body image. By becoming a master of your thoughts and habits, you can break free from the "diet mentality" ...
As humans, experiencing challenges is part of life and facing those challenges head on is evidence of resilience.

Today's quote: “When you are not used to being confident, confidence will feel like arrogance. When you are used to being passive, assertiveness will feel like aggression. When you are not used to getting your needs met, prioritizing yourself will feel selfish. With that being said, your comfort zone is not always a good benchmark.” — Words from a psychotherapist (Shared on IG By: Mariana Self Love Coach) Amy shares an email from Martha asking about the hair mask Ashley Wahler recommended when she was on the podcast: "I was driving during this episode and couldn’t take notes!

“What you don't know can be your greatest asset if you let it. If you are thinking, I have an idea, and I want to start, but I don't know how it's supposed to be done, that’s your gift. If you don’t know how it’s supposed to be done, that will ensure that you will do it differently. Real innovation only happens when you do it differently than everyone else has been doing it.

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back for Part 2 of this series to help you understand how to get off the diet roller coaster for good. So many women WANT to stop dieting, but they don't know how, or they don't know what that even looks like, because it's all they've ever known. So this idea of "food freedom" or NOT being on some sort of diet is not only foreign to them, but it's actually pretty scary, because all their brain has known is what it's like to count, measure, restrict, and control. Or their brain knows what it's like to bounce to the opposite end of the spectrum, and end up in an uncontroll...

Amy just discovered color matching & it's blown her mind. Her guest, Hannah Garber (a color analyst) breaks it all down for us.

In a nutshell, we all have certain colors that give us the power to show up with more confidence and look our best. Everything from the way we...
Today’s quote is from Ally Fallon: “You rarely know the whole story already – when things don’t make sense it’s usually because there’s missing data, untapped information. Maybe someone is keeping something from you, maybe you’re keeping something from yourself. Maybe certain things are none of your business - and maybe you need to wait a little longer to collect more puzzle pieces.” What are the facts in the story you’ve built in your head? Practice patience – the other pieces of the puzzle are coming. Amy & Kat “popcorn” through different topics: How Kat’s feeling leading up to her...
