Leanne is back as we conclude our deep dive into the Paradox of Worthiness. In this final episode of the series, she unravels the concept of "Self-Endorsement" and explores this idea that it's possible for you to value your own opinion of yourself and God’s opinion of you more so (even just a little bit more so) than someone else’s opinion of you. And how THAT can liberate you from the constant need for external validation. Self-Endorsement is truly about standing confidently in who you are, but more so who God says you are, and seeking approval from God, rather than relying solely on other...

Is it annoying when someone says they're giving 110%? Kat can't stand when people say that, but it doesn't bother Amy. They agree to disagree on this topic, but they both agree that Brene Brown gets it right when she says that in a relationship, it’s never 50/50.

You gave 100%.” – Jim Kwik Back to Brene Brown and relationships...some days one partner may only have 20%, and the other might pick up the slack. Or maybe you and your partner have a combined 40%- and if so, that’s ok! Amy and Kat r...

Financial expert, Rachel Cruze, joins Amy to talk about her new book I'm Glad For What I Have. “It’s ok to have nice stuff, just don’t let your stuff have you” is something Rachel often says, so it was important for her to write this book to spark meaningful conversations with kids about entitlement and contentment.

OUTWEIGH: Nowadays fat has a bad rap. We hate it. We fear it. We name it. We blame it. We shame it. Some people will do whatever they can to destroy it and eliminate its "wrath" from their lives. But who ever said that fat was ugly, or something to be ashamed of? And what if you could work WITH it (learn how to actually take care of it on a nervous system level so you can actually get rid of it if that's what you want to do) instead of working AGAINST it? Since it IS such a prevalent "enemy" in today's world, and since it's not going away anytime soon, we might as well learn about it, right...
