Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

OUTWEIGH: We are back with another follow-up to a topic that Amy and Leanne talked about a few weeks ago: How to have BOTH: a healthy relationship with food and your body AND begin to work towards the goals that are important to you (aka getting stronger, fitter, etc).  In that episode, Amy and Leanne explained that you absolutely can go set goals for yourself, but they invite you to take a sabbat...

FIRST THING: Do you have people that you can share the good & the messy with, without judgment? If not, you need to find your people!! SECOND THING: Do you want to be inspired by stories of resilience & perseverance? If so, this episode is filled with stories of people overcoming adversity. THIRD THING: Have you ever wondered if Tim Tebow is the real deal? Well, founder of myLIFEspeaks, Mi...

Do you know what you really want in life or do you only know what society tells you that you should want? Amy & Kat chat about several different things this week, but the most important part of their conversation is the reminder to ask yourself this question anytime you’re making a decision (especially a big “life” decision): “What part of me wants to do this and why?”  Years ago, Amy was doin...

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is here today with a follow-up to a topic that Amy and Leanne talked about a few weeks ago. How to have BOTH: a healthy relationship with food and your body AND begin to work towards the goals that are important to you (aka getting stronger, fitter, etc).  In that episode, Amy and Leanne explained that you absolutely can go set goals for yourself, but they invite you to take a sab...

Amy's guest is the guy that every girl we know follows on socials, Trey Kennedy!! Trey is a comedian, singer, actor, influencer and he is funny, cool, nice...all the things!! THINGS DISCUSSED: How Trey got his start (as a comedian / influencer) 4 Things Gratitude (Trey shared 4 things he's thankful for)  Growing up in the church (evolving from fundamentalist roots)  Is Trey funny because of hard t...

Amy thinks she has her attachment style figured out, but Kat challenges Amy’s self-assessment. Secure attachment is the goal for all of us, and while there’s hope for that, most of us are either avoidant, anxious or disorganized. Do you know your attachment style? An episode of Mel Robbins’ podcast is what got Amy started on attachment styles. You can listen to it HERE .   Quotes from this episode...

OUTWEIGH: Can you love food AND maintain a healthy relationship with food? We absolutely think so! And that's why we are here to talk about this very important distinction.  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--- especially since there are a lot of mixed messages out there about...

“Wonder is the root of love, the lack of wonder is the root of violence.”  Is there a way to create boundaries with someone who wishes to cause harm? Can you love them and hold them accountable? Do you have to fight for a just world for everyone? Valarie Kaur is no stranger to violence. As a Sikh, as a woman, as a person of color, violence has shaped both her activism and her deep sense of communi...

Happy 4th! While Amy’s out, enjoy this special reading Amy’s psychic cousin, Amanda, did for Morgan from the Bobby Bones Show as part of her new podcast, Soul Sessions!    Morgan Huelsman, Digital Director for The Bobby Bones Show, joins the show today for a reading!   Morgan is turning 30 and looking for what’s next in this upcoming chapter of her life. Amanda shares insights on Morgan’s perfecti...

OUTWEIGH: You can be on the journey to self-love and self-worth... AND still have really crappy thoughts about yourself show up. Yep....it's true! Even the most confident, self-assured, empowered women can have "ugly" thoughts about themselves. This does NOT have to mean anything, and in fact, it's totally normal. What matters most is how you RESPOND (instead of react) to those thoughts. And that'...

Something happened to Amy after she had a really good cry the other day, an epiphany of sorts, and it has her feeling very thankful for everything that led to her breakdown. Claire, Amy's friend that joined in on this episode (who also happens to be a cognative therapist), says what Amy experienced after all of her tears totally makes sense. Amy and Claire talk about the power of a good cry, grati...

Morgan Huelsman, Digital Director for The Bobby Bones Show, joins the show today for a reading!   Morgan is turning 30 and looking for what’s next in this upcoming chapter of her life.

Today’s quote is from Anne Lemott: “Help is often the sunny side of control.” This led Amy to think of a scene from Jerry Maguire: “help me help you.” Kat reveals that she has never seen Jerry Maguire….what??? Amy gives her homework to watch it with Big P. There’s also a line in the movie that a lot of people found very romantic, but it is actually asking someone else to make you happy and that’s...

OUTWEIGH: We are back again sharing Two Things that can ABSOLUTELY be true at the same time: You can be on the journey to self-love and self-worth (and not have self-worth tied to your appearance)....AND still care about what you look like.  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---...

Motivational speaker & author, Lizzie Velasquez { @littlelizziev }, is on for all 4 things. FIRST THING: Lizzie was born with an extremely rare congenital disease. It prevents her from accumulating body fat and gaining weight. Her parents were told by doctors when Lizzie was born, she wouldn’t be able to do simple things on her own and live a “normal life." There are a lot of things in this wo...

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote gives us a reminder of things we need to never feel guilty about (but yet we somehow do at times). Then we get into personal boundaries and answer some emails about: eye patches/pimple patches, bird seed recommendation, and how to deal with all the things.    HOSTS: Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmy Kat Defatta // @Kat. Defatta //...

OUTWEIGH: Yes.... you heard that correctly. You can be pro body-image (and pro-self worth and body-positive) ....AND still have health goals you want to reach. 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...

Do you ever ask yourself: “How can I serve today?” One of the simplest ways to get to your highest self (and out of ego) is to serve others. Leanne Ellington joins Amy for this chat and they each share how they have been selfish in the past (and sometimes still can be!) but they both now very much strive for and strongly align with this affirmation: “I am here to be truly helpful.” The desire to g...

Amy hosted an event the other night with Kelsea Ballerini and Kelsie mentioned this quote: “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.” Amy shared it as the quote for this episode and the main idea behind “reason, season, lifetime” is that all relationships, regardless of their length, have some sort of purpose. Kelsea also has a song about ride or die friendships “If You Go...

OUTWEIGH: Comments like “Eat a burger!!” (when someone thinks a person needs to gain weight) or “Are you really going to eat that burger?”(when someone thinks a person needs to lose weight) are not okay. However, these comments happen (sometimes to often), and how we respond is up to us. Licensed therapist, Kat Defatta, joins Amy for this episode and she encourages curiosity over judgment when com...

How do you feel about your self-awareness? 95% of people think that they’re self-aware, but only 10-15% actually are! Amy shares a simple fix to increase your self-awareness for a more fulfilled life. This "simple fix" is based on research done by Dr. Tasha Eurich and it all boils down to one word. Amy's cousin, Amanda, joins in on this chat and they both share their experience with this one word...

This chat ended up being a PSA to set up your emergency contacts in your phone ASAP if you haven't already done it. However, you might want to make sure that you select people that will actually respond if an SOS gets sent out. Amy for sure needs to rethink hers...since she basically could have been murdered or kidnapped this weekend...and nobody would have saved her.  Other topics: - Don't sleep...

OUTWEIGH: We're bombarded with pressure to look a certain way. It can be overwhelming and constantly worrying about your appearance can distract you from living your life. Amy wants you to feel empowered by rejecting these thoughts and to start practicing radical self-love! To help you REFRAME things, Amy shares positive affirmations/mantras that will help you on your journey towards loving yourse...

"If you’re thinking of doing a thing but aren’t sure how it will “turn out” here’s your nudge to DO IT ANYWAY!!!" Cryo Kat, not to be confused with Therapy Kat, is Amy's guest and they are talking about so many things....some of them you may even want to try....so take this chat as your nudge to go for it! They talk about everything from yoga to adaptogenic mushrooms to foam rolling to pink salt i...

Amy once went away for a 3-day intensive at a hotel with a therapist that she had never met before because she was so desperate to process an immense amount of pain she was dealing with. She knew that avoiding it would eventually make her sick…like cheesecake zipped up in a Chanel purse. Our negative emotions get zipped away when we don’t deal with them and sit rotting in our bodies. Pain is a par...
