Do you believe in signs from the other side? Amy does & her guest, Gracie Moakler, has a powerful story about a message she recently received from the other side. It's so clear that God was using this sign (from Gracie's sister) as a way to bring comfort and peace when it was very much needed. Amy also shares a message she got from her mom a few days ago (via a cardinal) that was very comforting as well. Side note: Go listen to Kacey Musgraves' song Cardinal ASAP if you haven't listened to it yet...it's so good!! If you don't believe in signs...well don't worry...they chat about other things too!
Gracie is the founder of Emergency Confetti, a mom of 2, and wife to her sweet husband Steve...she wears a lot of hats and at times she wonders what she's gotten herself into. Being a small business owner comes with challenges...but if you want the garden...you've got to pull the weeds (fave quote from the episode!) Gracie has had to learn to expand + to not make her business her identity (i.e. separating herself from hard situations like taking out a big loan to make aforementioned expansion possible) + to not compare herself to other moms/business owners on social media.
Gracie & Amy also talk about they're attempt at little to no clothes shopping this year + joy vs. happiness + 4 things gratitude (Gracie shares a book, a show, a drink and an IG follow that she's thankful for...so maybe there's a 'recommendation' in her gratitude that you'd enjoy!)

Do THIS Next Time You're Angry or Upset (5th Thing)

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to continue the conversation from last week and dives deeper into the question of "Does it ever get easier?".  She argues that restrictive diets and intense exercise plans create a cycle of difficulty and ultimately fail because they train your brain for "hard work" instead of  training it for"ease."  

This week Leanne literally shares a step-by-step checklist for how you can make sure your brain is focusing on creating "ease" by practicing behaviors that are enjoyable, sustainable, and create a sense of freedom.  You can take this "checklist" of practices that cultivate ease (flexibility, consistency, happiness)  contrasted with practices that reinforce difficulty (control, pain, guilt) to make sure that YOUR brain is set up for success.  

By understanding these two categories (when your brain is practicing EASE vs. when your brain is practicing HARD), you can choose the path of least resistance which leads to lasting change and a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.

HOST: Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com // @leanneellington

To learn more about how to turn off the part of your brain that’s obsessed with food or obsessed with your weight and rewire your own brain for peace and freedom,....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.
