In Part 3 of our Four Horsemen series, we dive into contempt, the most dangerous predictor of relationship breakdown. Kat breaks down what contempt sounds like, why it’s referred to as “relational poison,” and how it impacts both emotional and even physical health. Most importantly, we go over the antidote from Dr. Gottman: building a culture of admiration and respect. Plus, Amy’s Feeling of the Day is sad, but it’s giving her some helpful information about herself and her relationship.

Do you have beliefs that are holding you back that (no matter what you try), they continue to have a stronghold on you?

In this week's episode of the God Pod, Leanne Ellington shares her personal journey of transforming beliefs through the unique intersection of where "faith meets science"...and where "science meets faith", as we start to unravel how faith and science intersect in transforming your deepest-held beliefs about yourself.

She shares a unique process to transform your own beliefs, but also takes you on a deeply introspective voyage, and candidly discusses her transition from attempting to change her beliefs purely through scientific and emotional tools...to inviting God into the conversation.

She shares her initial struggles with self-worth and the fear of "being alone the rest of her life", and details how she crafted new beliefs that resonated with her core self and how she "backed them up" with carefully-chosen scripture.

Leanne's journey from skepticism to faith, from doubt to trust, ultimately culminated in a profound transformation, including the unexpected and beautiful development of a loving relationship, and this episode invites you to explore your own beliefs and see where "faith meets science" can help you reshape your own self-perceptions.

When you’re in the middle of your story and it appears that no resolution is on the horizon, it’s easy to assume that you must be doing something wrong. 

Maybe if you were stronger, wiser, or more "positive" you would be able to find a solution and bring your story to resolution. 

But what if the point of the story is not to resolve the story?

What if the unresolved, chaotic, painful middle of a story is exactly where you belong? 

In today’s episode I’ll talk about our very human impulse to relieve the pain and pressure of our stories, to find resolution, and I’ll also explore what happens when we allow the middle of the story to be exactly what it is: confusing, unsettling, upsetting and painful. 

Are you in the middle of a story?

What would it be like to soften into the middle and let it change you?

Ready for a shift? While September brought intense, logistical energy, October 2025 ushers in a new flavor. We're moving from literal lessons to a rhythmic, transformative dance. This month is about finding lightness, levity, and joy even amidst deep change.

You'll feel a powerful pull to be playful and adaptable as you navigate a paradoxical blend of intense energy and profound grace. The numerology of a 1 month in a 9 year speaks to a cycle of endings and new beginnings, requiring both forward momentum and a willingness to shed what no longer serves you. This is a powerful time for death and rebirth, and it's essential to give yourself space to grieve the past as you step into your new identity.

This episode explores how to:

• Embrace the paradoxical energy of the month—finding balance and harmony in a period of intense transformation.
• Work with the 1/9 numerology to navigate new beginnings with discernment while honoring the need to release old patterns.
• Tune into the body to release emotional and physiological blockages, especially around sadness and heaviness.
• Harness key astrological transits to your advantage, including:
• The powerful Aries Full Moon on October 6th, which may reveal jarring truths and push you to embrace your inner truth.
• Pluto moving direct on October 13th and Venus entering Libra, inviting you to reflect on your journey and infuse your life with beauty and harmony.
• The Libra New Moon on October 21st, a harmonic reset for setting intentions around peace, cooperation, and beauty.
• The shift from Sun in Libra to Sun in Scorpio on October 22nd, a move from external beauty to the depths of your soul.
• Learn to surrender, ask for help, and trust that you have exactly what you need for this journey.

Join us to learn how to be teachable, shed outdated belief systems, and set the stage for a delightful October. Don't let gravity steal your light—choose joy for the sake of joy.

Amy and Kat continue to unpack Dr. John Gottman’s famous ‘Four Horsemen of the apocalypse’ for relationships which has helped him be able to predict the failure or success of a relationship with a 90% accuracy rate. Week 2 is Defensiveness. It is that quick “it’s not me, it’s you” response that shows up when we think we are being criticized. Amy and Kat talk about how defensiveness sneaks in when we are stressed or protecting our ego (especially for Amy!!), and why it makes conflict worse instead of solving it. They share real-life examples, explain how even a hint of criticism can trigger us, and walk through the antidote of taking responsibility for your part. You will hear tips for pausing, owning your piece, and keeping conversations from turning into blame games. This episode will help you stay connected and turn tense moments into opportunities for understanding.

When Carley found herself constantly thinking about food—either obsessing over dieting or feeling like a failure for not being able to stick with anything—she knew something had to change. She was sick of the all-or-nothing mindset, the endless rules, and the guilt that always followed. But as the youngest woman to ever go through the Stressless Eating program, she also knew she didn’t want to carry this struggle into the rest of her life.

In this episode, Carley opens up about what it felt like to be trapped in a cycle of food obsession, why she finally decided to get help, and how she rewired her brain to break free. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice out there or wondered if you’d ever find peace with food, Carley’s journey will show you that real, lasting change is possible—at any age.

In today’s episode I talk about what to do when you seem to be stuck in the same frustrating story on repeat. I’ll share my own experience with finding myself in this rut and talk about how to move when you’re ready to finally make an edit.

In this episode, Amanda explores what it means to be a Rainbow Warrior and how this archetypal energy can help us navigate a time of massive transition. As we move through the eclipse season, our systems are breaking down, but new light and abilities are also coming through. We're reminded that our human experience is sacred, and we have a duty to ourselves and to the planet.

Discover how to connect with your own inner power, anchor in new light, and become a harbinger of renewal. We dive into the profound symbolism of the Rainbow Warrior across different cultures, from Aboriginal lore to the concept of Kundalini energy and Earth’s ley lines. Learn how this mythic archetype can help you bridge linear and multidimensional time, and why it’s connected to the sacredness of water.

We’ll Discuss:

• The Power of Intention: How to intentionally express care, and also recognize your own capacity to give and receive it.
• Talisman Energy: What a talisman is and how everyday objects or moments can carry magic and serve as reminders of your higher resonance.
• Transmutation with Tiger's Eye: Why this powerful stone is a great tool for detoxing heavy energy and moving forward with courage and boldness.
• The Rainbow Warrior Archetype: Understanding the ancient, cross-cultural symbol of the Rainbow Warrior or Serpent, and how it's connected to uplifting consciousness, creation, and destruction cycles.
• Collective Responsibility: Why the changes you're going through are not just about you, but about anchoring new light into the collective consciousness.
• Reflection Questions: Consider what's coming into alignment for you, who has reflected your own light back to you, and how you can pay it forward today.

Tune in to learn how to embody the Rainbow Warrior and send the frequency of love, clarity, and courage out into the world.

Amber sent us an email about something we’ve all felt. That little spiral when a friend takes forever to text you back and you start wondering if you did something wrong. Amy & Kat talk about how our brains love to make up stories, and how we won't know what's really going on unless we ask them. Amy immediately relates to this listener and shares her experience. They also make up some fun, new acronyms that might come in handy when you're starting to spiral. Speaking of acronyms, is it not cool to text 'lol' anymore? Apparently, it's "ick" along with no-show socks. Ugh.
