Have you heard of PMI? Short for "premature intimacy". It's when you share too many personal details too early in a relationship.

Kat also shares some wedding updates...like her new exciting idea to do at the end of the evening for a late night treat.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 3 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Esteem", which revolves around the "know, like, and trust" factor of yourself. Many women struggle with trusting themselves because they make promises to themselves but fail to follow through. And this is the cycle that causes you to lose trust and respect in yourself, and leads you to lack confidence and reliance on your own abilities. Instead of having a relationship of trust, confidence, and belief in yourself,...
Amy first learned of the "snail stuff" she puts on her face from her go-to face girl, Keri (@thenashvillebeautygirl) and ever since she's been obsessed. There are so many benefits and since Amy's not an expert....she brought one on Valerie Johnston who is a consultant to Biopelle for product, scientific and training resources. Valerie is highly knowledgeable and experienced and gives us all the details! Amy is simply a fan of this stuff, as are some of you, so she wanted an expert to break things down! "Snail Stuff" = Biopell's Tensage 40 The Radiance Eye Cream Amy loves! You can also hit u...

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 2 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Care", which (as you'll learn) is so much more than a "manicures and bubble baths" conversation. Amy and Leanne give a perspective on Self Care that extends beyond physical health and includes the mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and relational side of things, which is CRUCIAL if you truly want to learn to care for your own needs. Self-care is not just about diet and exercise but about understanding what it ...
Amy talks to Haley about a recent terrorization at her home by teenagers in her neighborhood. They had shirts covering their faces in an effort to remain anonymous, but they messed with the wrong house because Haley is an enneagram 8. She was not going to let this go until she tracked down who these kids were. She called 911, talked to the police & put a campaign up on her social media. In a few short hours she had them identified....don't mess with Haley (or her husband, as he is a lawyer!) These teens probably think they're partaking in something innocent & funny, but their behavior is no...
In this next episode of "The God Pod", Leanne shows you how to take a faith-based approach to addressing your own food and body struggles, by blending spirituality and faith WITH rewiring your brain for peace-of-mind and freedom. On the surface, it might not seem like the way we relate to our bodies and our eating habits has anything to do with God, but as you'll learn it's ALL related. She'll draw from biblical wisdom AND evidence-based research to highlight the idea that faith can be a guiding force in breaking free from self-limiting beliefs and finding the strength to overcome addiction...
Today's episode revolves around a post that one of our listeners, Ashley Beck, put up about how the worst of us can show up so easily online. She appropriately titled the post: "A Place for the Worst in Us" and we hope this chat will help us all think twice before we post a rude or snarky comment online. Ashley starts off asking for help (on Nextdoor) after her home was burglarized. She was hoping to find neighbors who might have video surveillance, etc... The comments were thoughtful at first and then soon went to the place most social media has the tendency to go: meanness and name-callin...
OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are here for PART 1 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Acceptance". This is often the most challenging aspect of our Self-Image to grasp, because many of us are so focused on our flaws, shortcomings, and past mistakes... so accepting ourselves feels foreign. Amy and Leanne walk you through practical ways to practice true self-acceptance when it comes to embracing yourself without exception, without shame, blame, guilt, or self-rejection, and without comparison-itus or...

Today is World Mental Health Day, and that’s why it's the perfect time to talk about the faith-brain connection, and how it has EVERYTHING to do with your own mental and emotional health. In this next episode of The God Pod, Leanne takes you on a journey to explore the profound interplay between faith, self-image, and neuroscience.
