OUTWEIGH: In this eye-opening episode of Outweigh, we take a deep dive into the untold truths about the "Cost of Skinny." Leanne reflects on a pivotal moment in her own life, a major spine surgery at just 25 years old, which she endearingly calls the "Cost of Skinny." It's a powerful reminder of how the relentless pursuit of an idealized body image can lead to devastating consequences.

Ignoring the screams for self-care, she pushed herself t...

In the debut episode of the "What's God Got To Do With It" podcast, host Leanne Ellington takes listeners on a deeply personal journey of self-discovery and transformation.

She candidly discusses her lifelong struggles with food, body image, and toxic shame, tracing her introduction to weight watchers at just 8 years old and her ongoing battle with depression and anxiety. Despite losing nearly 100 pounds, Leanne reveals ...
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! It’s important to check-in with yourself: Did you say something unkind and need to apologize for that? Or is this person just upset because they didn’t get the answer they were hoping for? Today's quote obviously inspired this discussion: “We are not responsible for how others feel or react.” (from a @YouNeedTherapyPodcast post about a recent "couch talks" episode) OTHER THINGS DISCUSSED: -Codependency -People pleasing (when you people pl...
OUTWEIGH: One of the biggest myths out there in the Women’s Health ‘world’ is this idea that you should get ‘good’ at trying to CONTROL yourself. I can’t even tell you how many women I speak with that WISH that they simply had more willpower or discipline or perseverance to feel 'in control', and that if they could just figure out how to make THOSE things show up for them, all would be well, and the problem would be solved. 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. The purpose of today's episode is to let listeners know that they will be recording a co-parenting Q&A (with que...

Amy and her cousin, Amanda Rieger Green, just got back from a restorative getaway trip! It was good for the soul in so many ways: laughter, meaningful conversation, time in nature, Lifetime movies, good food, time to EXHALE & more... A quote from Rumi that came up on their trip that will change the way you think: “It's your road, and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.” In other words, if you don't find the courage to go after what you want in life, you'll never get it.

Today’s quote: “Power of empathy: I’m in it with you. I’m not here to fix you. I’m not here to feel it for you. 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...
After searching for someone to be Amy's right hand for the podcast, she found someone who was literally "waiting for her call." In this episode you meet Haley D & if her story (after a string of no's) doesn't give you hope that there's a yes around the corner...well...we don't know what will. Haley D. has a very interesting life & we look forward to getting to know more about her.

Have you heard of PMDD? Amy was diagnosed with it in college and took Zoloft for it. This came up because last week on Thursday’s 4 Things episode Danae Hays talked about being put on Zoloft at 11-years-old. When Amy got on it in college it totally changed her personality (for the 2 weeks out of the month that she was supposed to take it), so she didn’t end up taking it too long. Should we be able to take off of work during our time of the month (IF WE NEED TO) without consequences? TODAY’S QUOTE:“Confidence is 10 percent hard work and 90 percent delusion. I firmly believe that the number o...
OUTWEIGH: Yes.... you heard that correctly. Your life can be amazing, you can be living in gratitude, experiencing joy...AND you can also be coincidingly be going through some sort of mental, emotional, or spiritual [breakdown/breakthrough/existential crisis]. These things do NOT have to cancel eachother out or stay mutually exclusive. But...there are some very important distinctions that you want to keep in mind to make sure that you are leading yourself in the direction of health, freedom, and healing while you navigate this wide array of emotions.. Amy & Leanne are back for the SIXT...

During the pandemic, she used that creative spirit to launch a TikTok filled with different characters ...
Just because you’ve been in therapy for 15 years (or however long) and you still go doesn’t mean something is wrong with you or that it’s not working. Some people seem to think that there is a final destination when it comes to personal growth and that’s just not the case. This topic came up because of today's quote: “Debating if I should continue my healing journey or go insane?” (this made us Lol because it most definitely hits home for some days!) Does Amy have some weird disease?? Amy has an underlying issue that is causing her mouth to be really dry. If anyone has any idea what this ...
OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back again sharing Two Things that can ABSOLUTELY be true at the same time: You can be self-endorsed and uber-confident.... AND still care what other people think of you (or fear judgment). These things do NOT have to cancel each other out or stay mutually exclusive. But...there are some very important distinctions that you want to keep in mind--- especially since there are a lot of messages out there telling you that you "shouldn't" care what other people think about you. Here at Outweigh, we love to give a different perspective, and that's why Amy & Leanne...
