Ashley Wahler, celebrity hair stylist and TV personality, and wife to Jason Wahler (known for his appearances on Laguna Beach and The Hills) joins Amy on today’s episode.
Ashley talks reality TV, her husband’s experiences with addiction, and learning how to be a partner to someone in recovery – including facing her own codependency issues and educating herself on alcoholism as a disease.
When you are in the depths of dealing with someone with addiction, it is a lonely place to be. Jason’s addictions led to them losing everything, and led Ashley to lose who she was – feeling depressed and soulless, and living with someone in the depths of their disease with no tools to fix it.
Ashley learned that struggling alone is not an option and that recovery is a disease that touches the whole family. She is now helping and supporting others with the Family Recovery Foundation who offer free zoom meetings with a licensed therapist to any family dealing with addiction.
PLUS – Ashley dishes on her hair stylist secrets: her favorite hair dryer, why you shouldn’t be using dry shampoo, how hot your hair tools should be, and how much hair shedding is normal!

There’s no such thing as having it all. Every success takes sacrifice. Amy’s guest today is actress, singer, song-writer, wife & brand new mom, Mackenzie Porter! With her packed career and being in entertainment, Mackenzie definitely asked herself: “Can I have a baby and continue my work?” (a thought none of us should have, but we most certainly do!) This leads to a quote from Shonda Rhimes that we love:  “Whenever you see me somewhere succeeding in one area of my life, that almost certainly means I am failing in another area of my life.”  Her point being there’s no balance or “having it all” because perfection is impossible and we need not have those standards or be expected to do it all…just work hard and do our best where we are in each moment. 
 
Mackenzie grew up on a bison and cattle ranch in Canada….so obviously Amy asks her if she knows the Bison Storm Analogy! They also talk about how Mackenzie started taking piano, violin and singing lessons at just 4-years-old, her acting career (Amy loved the show Travelers she was in on Netflix a while back), what it’s like to work with actors and other singers, shooting her shot with Walker Hayes, her new album ‘Nobody’s Born With a Broken Heart’ + songs on it, how writing is therapeutic, not comparing ourselves to others on social media & 4 Things Gratitude: Mackenzie shared 1) what she’s thankful for today, a show she’s obsessed with, a song she loves and a drink that’s been bringing her joy during this season of life!

Howdy: You're a Nutcase (5th Thing)

OUTWEIGH: Feel like your mind and your thoughts are holding you hostage when it comes to eating when you're not even hungry? Part 2 of our Binge-Free Brain series tackles the surprising truth: your beliefs about food are shaping your habits, not the other way around. We'll explore 3 common beliefs that can fuel binge eating, like "food makes me feel better" or "I'm powerless against cravings." Discover how to challenge these limiting beliefs and rewrite your food story for lasting change.

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 2: "Food Makes Me Feel Better" Debunking the Lies Your Subconscious Tells You (Outweigh)

Changing up small habits in your day can create big changes in your life (this is the power of conscious neuroplasticity) & that's the first thing that Amy gets into with her guest (who is also her cousin) Amanda Reiger Green.
Then the second thing they get into is wild...Amanda explains 'Address Numerology' (a way to change the energy of your home through numbers. i.e. Amanda tells Amy what number to use to sell her house since she's about to put it on the market, and then what number to use to make her new house feel more organized!)
Speaking of organization...the third thing is about cleaning out closets (and making space in your mind) because Amanda was finally able to go through her mom's clothes (she passed away over a year ago) and donate them to the right person.
Fourth thing is CONNECTION (and the importance of it) so if you're in Austin...check out Amanda's Live 'Soul Sessions' Podcast Event (May 7th) for an evening of empowerment, connection, inspiration, and healing! Amanda will be doing live psychic readings, answering Q&A;, and helping people gain clarity on their purpose and meaning.
