Today’s quote is from NEEDTOBREATHE’s song “Dreams”:
 
That's why I throw my bones in the rhythm
Sink my teeth in a good time
Whole lot more than a feeling
I could lose
That's I why I brace myself every minute
Trying to hold on tight for a good ride
Fools like us are only here to prove
You make dreams come true
 
Amy asks the question: when it comes to accomplishing the dreams in your life, where there has been struggle, but you’ve preserved - what comes to mind for you?  
 
As a follow up to Amy’s conversation with her friend, Jeremiah, last week, Kat gives her thoughts on the 7 Primal Questions: 

Am I safe? 
Am I secure? 
Am I loved? 
Am I wanted? 
Am I successful? 
Am I good enough? 
Do I have purpose?

 
Kat’s fiance did something to make her feel insecure when talking in his sleep which leads to a conversation about premarital couples counseling, keeping separate bank accounts, and interdependence (the healthy space between fully independent & co-dependent).

Perfecting the Turn (From "On The Job" with Avery Thompson)

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for our final episode of this series where they dive deep into the science of (what feels like) food 'addiction' within your own brain. They'll explore the role of the ACC, your "social brain," and its powerful need for oxytocin, the love and connection hormone. Learn why your brain might crave sugar, Netflix, or other "drugs" when it's really seeking deeper connection. This episode dismantles the myth of willpower and exposes the emotional root of your struggles. Discover how to replace the "fake connection" with genuine connection and emotional support, leading you towards lasting change and true nourishment for your soul.

To learn more about re-wiring your brain to heal from the all-or-nothing diet mentality for good....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Binge-Free Brain Part 5 - "Overfed Yet Undernourished": Why Your Brain Craves Connection, Not Food (Outweigh)

Amy first met Nada Taha 11 years ago during Nada's time on The Bobby Bones Show...so it's fun to catch up with someone that longtime listeners will know! Nada is a fellow cat lady that is outspoken about everything — marriage and divorce, being a female entrepreneur, mental health, and more!
Amy & Nada chat about:
Nada's TEDx Talk: Why "What do you do?" is the wrong question
Marrying young (Nada got married at 18) and divorce 
Will either of them ever get married again?
Nada's trip to Egypt to better understand her roots
The work Nada has done to be vulnerable, real, authentic
Crying is good (Nada's infamous airport bathroom breakdown)
Evolving, energy & manifesting
You don't have to pick a lane (pursue all your passions, at once, despite societal norms)
Using anger and strength to build your story
Working through the past to strive in the now
Still figuring it out (it = this whole “life” thing)
4 Things Gratitude 

Since Nada's time on the BBS, she's started two creative services agencies, hosted Soundcheck Radio and The Country Chart Show for Apple.
Keep up with her on IG: @NadaMeansNothin.

Pursuing Your Passions, Appointment Crying, Marriage After Divorce & More with Nada Taha

A listener named Val sent us a great email full of amazing quotes that guided Amy's chat with Kat for this episode. Val divided them into 2 categories: serious & funny...we appreciate both (they're all listed below) and in addition to the quotes Kat played a round of "Make It Or Break It" with Amy (to see what she's down with when it comes to dating!)
SERIOUS:
- The tighter we cling to an identity, the harder it becomes to grow beyond it.
- I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be
- You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy.
- Buy less, choose well.
- We all eat lies when our hearts are hungry
- Just because you don't look like somebody who you think is attractive doesn't mean you aren't attractive. Flowers are pretty, but so are Christmas lights and they look nothing alike.
- Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married or own a house as if life was some kind of grocery list. But no one ever asks if you are happy. 

FUNNY:
- I've moved past having a depressive episode. I am actually having a depressive series. Season 8 available now.
- I'm not a licensed interior designer but I just figured out you can make a room look 30% bigger if you put away the 14 loads of laundry on the floor.
- Neighbor said hi again...I'm just gonna move.
- Lucky for me, I don't have enough friends for an intervention
- I don't understand your specific kind of crazy, but I do admire your total commitment to it.
- My room is not dirty. I just have everything on display...like a museum.
- Some of you youths are going to be really disappointed when you discover that turning
- 30 just means that you still have all the same weird interests but you can't turn your head all the way to the left anymore.
- Hey, sorry for being so anxious earlier, I had no idea that everything would be fine.
- I keep telling people that a vanilla soy latte is technically a three bean soup, but nobody understands. They just nod and smile like I'M the crazy one.
- I found out why I'm still single. Apparently, you have to go outside and let people see you.
