-What is Wintering???

-Learning to adult after divorce

 

Plus, “The Bear”, guilt over not making elaborate dinners, and the recipes Amy & Ally are loving right now! 

 

Ally’s suggested journal prompt for feelings of embarrassment / shame / guilt / regret: 

• Identify what you're feeling or how it feels in your body 
• Identify stories or moments in your life where you remember feeling this way 

 

Quote from Bill Crawford: “Regret acknowledges that I made a mistake, shame says I am a mistake and guilt is what others use to try to make us feel ashamed.”

 

Listen to Ally’s Write Your Story episode about the concept of wintering: “What’s Happening When It Feels Like Nothing Is Happening”.

Today’s quote is from Brené Brown: “choose discomfort over resentment.”

 

Amy and Kat discuss Brené’s habit of using a “boundary ring” where she spins her ring around three times before she makes a decision as a way to keep her from saying yes when she really means no.

 

It’s 25 days until Kat’s wedding and she’s chasing down 100 RSVPs because of this very “forward” thing she did with her invites.

 

Amy shares a list of things you should never say to your partner:

• Don’t use “never” and “always”
• Instead of “yes, but” use “yes, and”
• Don’t compare: “you should be more like _____”
• Avoid dismissals like “you’re overreacting”, “calm down”, and “this is not that big of a deal”

 

One of Amy’s goals this year is trying to be a better adult and Kat talks about the process of growing up and “getting” old” in her latest episode of You Need Therapy.

It's a powerful conversation that unravels the intricacies of self-discovery beyond the physical, empowering you to cultivate unshakable confidence and freedom in your own life.

Amy was given a book about self-forgetfulness from her friend, Jeremiah Carter, so he is on with her to talk about the meaning of it. Whether we admit it or not, we all care to varying degrees what people think of us. The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness (by Timothy Keller) is a little gem of a book that will have you considering how busy most of us are measuring up all of our words, actions, and responses to both the standards of those around us and our own standards. It’s a short read with a powerful message. Amy and Jeremiah also talk about homemade sourdough bread (and Amy's favorite way to eat it), a movie recommendation, visualization/manifestation gratitude and more!

How is it already mid-January?? So yeah, time flies. But we are our own pilots according to Michael Altshuler: "The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot." Kat is piloting and navigating her wedding big time right now and Amy doesn't have a Hinge update for us....but there's still time for her to find a Hinge date for Kat's wedding. Something Amy is currently trying to pilot: Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!

Amy bought a cookbook that is all chocolate chip cookie recipes. It's called The Chocolate Chip Cookie Book - it's by Katie Jacobs and it's genius. There's recipes for classic chocolate chip cookies and more unique ones but also recipes for stuff like chocolate chip cheesecake and a cookie dough milkshake. There's tips and tricks shared as well. Could be a great birthday present for someone this year...someone in your life that loves cookies.

Speaking of cooking, do you use plastic or wood cutting boards? Amy & Kat also talk about why we shouldn't be using plastic cutting boards!

OUTWEIGH: We are back to kick off this new series "Unfiltered Confidence: Navigating Self-Discovery Within Recovery," where we embark on a profound exploration with Suzanne, a living testament to the transformative journey of overcoming disordered eating and toxic shame. 

The first episode in this series is called "Navigating Life Beyond the Checklist," our conversation delves into the shift from external accomplishments to internal growth. Suzanne shares insights on the pivotal distinction between "who she wanted to be" versus "what she wanted/needed to do", and how that was a major shift in creating her identity and her own self-discovery.

They got into the specifics of how "doing less is doing more" and share how unraveling the power of simplicity could be your super-power when it comes to your own healing and well-being journey.

They also talk about how removing toxic influences can pave the way for a more authentic and fulfilling life, and throughout the episode, Suzanne offers personal anecdotes and milestones, illustrating the journey from a checklist-driven existence to a life guided by authenticity and inner peace.
