OUTWEIGH: Two years after our case study from last week, Suzanne came back to share what’s happened since her Stressless Eating journey—and the transformation goes far beyond food and body image. In this powerful follow-up, she reveals how healing her self-image not only gave her peace with food but also opened the door to calling in true love. What once held her back—her deep-rooted struggles with self-worth—became the very thing that helped her step into the healthiest, most fulfilling relationship of her life. Suzanne and Leanne reflect on the full-circle moment of her journey and the ripple effect of true self-acceptance. Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, inspiration, and a reminder that lasting change is possible.

Amy and Kat always feel the need to give the full backstory when telling a story. Sometimes their friends can get bored with all the details, so Amy and Kat chat about ways that will help them be more concise (If you have ADHD, this might help you too!) 

They also discuss an interesting question that Kat’s husband asked her over dinner: “What is something you thought was normal when you were younger, but then you became an adult and realized not all families do this thing?” Kat and Amy both have some things that come to mind from their childhood, as well as a wild Thanksgiving tradition they heard about….which leads to Amy’s weird post life plan that involves apples. 

Amy and Kat revisit last week’s episode about adding whimsy to your day, and Amy shares a new whimsical moment she has added while brushing her teeth this morning. 

Lastly, they discuss a list of items we should NOT be buying our 40’s.

HAVE THE DAY (OR DINNER) YOU NEED TO HAVE!

OUTWEIGH: In this special case study episode of Outweigh, Leanne sits down with Suzanne, a woman who spent decades trapped in the exhausting cycle of dieting, binge-eating, and self-rejection. Despite her external success, she felt stuck—knowing deep down that life had more to offer but unsure how to break free from the vicious cycle of food and body struggles. Apprehensive but ready for change, Suzanne took a leap of faith and joined Stressless Eating. In this raw and inspiring conversation, she shares the pivotal shifts that helped her finally forgive herself, love herself, and step into the freedom she once believed was impossible.

Amy first heard of ketamine therapy while at a brow appointment with Meegen Pearson (founder of beautybymeegen.com) so Meegen is back on the podcast for a heartfelt and honest conversation that spans beauty, healing, and resilience. They both get into their personal (but not expert!) experiences with ketamine therapy and then they pivot completely to talk about how Amy's lack of botox is changing her brows (she might need a microblading makeover!) Meegen also shares her journey into areola tattooing for breast cancer survivors, a passion inspired after her mom was diagnosed and she also urges people to stay aware because colon cancer took her dad from her far too soon (early detection is everything!) 

For more information about Meegen’s work, including microblading, lip blushing, and areola tattooing, visit beautybymeegen.com or @beauty.by.meegen on IG.

A listener sent in a segment idea: "Things that are saving my life right now” (thanks Melissa!!) so Amy and Kat shared some stuff they’re loving at the moment! This is the main focus of the episode, but they do get into other things!

QUOTE:
“There’s a study that shows that having a 12 minute talk with a friend can change your whole way of thinking. This is a reminder that I always have 12 minutes for you.”

Here’s the Biopelle Snail Serum (Tensage 40) that Amy’s used for a couple of years that Kat just recently became obsessed with…use code HAPPY for 20% off! 

And here’s the Radiance Eye Cream (code HAPPY should work for this too!) 

Amy is LOVING this Lift & Snatch Brow Pen (she’s using Ash Brown, but might try out other colors to see if they’ll be a better fit!)

OUTWEIGH: The belief that food and body struggles are a life sentence keeps so many women stuck in cycles of frustration and self-doubt. In this episode, Amy and Leanne shine a light on why this story feels so true and how years of diet culture and negative self-talk make struggling feel “normal.” They’ll explore the brain’s role in keeping you stuck and share how small, consistent changes can rewire your patterns and beliefs for good.

Takeaway: Struggling doesn’t have to be your forever story. By understanding how your brain works and shifting your narrative, you can create a future where freedom with food and peace in your body are possible.

FIRST THING: Ever put something off for way too long even though you know you want to do it? Amy breaks down why we do this to ourselves and how to stop.

SECOND THING: The first thing is about something you WANT to do, but what about tackling things you NEED to do? Amy's got encouragement for you (and herself) so y'all can just "do the dang thing."

THIRD THING: If you're in a season of waiting: just because you can’t see progress doesn’t mean nothing’s happening.

FOURTH THING: Amy talks about the ADHD paradox (because wow, it explains SO much!!)
