Financial expert, Rachel Cruze, joins Amy to talk about her new book I'm Glad For What I Have. “It’s ok to have nice stuff, just don’t let your stuff have you” is something Rachel often says, so it was important for her to write this book to spark meaningful conversations with kids about entitlement and contentment. 

Amy & Rachel also talk about the top things we get wrong about money, creative side hustles, money ‘trends’ that are draining our bank accounts, when to discuss money when dating, and recommendations for listeners (especially women) who need to ask for a raise. 

ABOUT RACHEL:

Rachel is a two-time #1 national bestselling author (Know Yourself Know Your Money and Love Your Life Not Theirs: 7 Money Habits For Loving The Life You Want.) She's also the Host of The Rachel Cruze Show and co-host of Smart Money Happy Hour.

Is watching TV together the lowest form of intimacy? Amy & Kat break down a comment made by Jay Shetty about TV being the lowest form of intimacy for couples. Kat reminds us that this blanket statement has the potential to make people feel shame or question what is working for them in their relationship. Depending on what you both enjoy, tv watching might be a great way for you to connect with your significant other! When an expert shares something like this, approach it like an idea, not a fact. Kat shares that she loves watching shows and also listening to audiobooks with her fiancé while they are on a walk together. They might not be talking in those moments, but they are still enjoying something together and it leads to conversations afterwards. Amy and Kat also chat about some recent health scares they’ve both had, including Amy’s rash on her temples, and Kat’s confession of having 11 cavities after not going to the dentist for 5 years! PSA: Flossing is important! Don’t skip it!

Today’s Quote is from a sign in someone’s front yard: “I love you. You are probably thinking you don’t even know me, but if people can hate for no reason, I can love for no reason.” Kat is considering putting a little sign outside of her therapy practice. Amy suggested putting up a therapy joke: "Why did Waldo go to therapy? To find himself!"

Have the day you need to have!!

Join us as Leanne continues to explore the complex topic of worthiness, diving into the paradox of feeling worthy when you DON'T feel worthy. Once again Leanne talks about the 5 Blocks to God’s love, originally introduced as a 'Self-Imaging' formula, and how these blocks, if not addressed, can hinder your experience of love and worthiness.

This time however, the spotlight turns to the second ingredient and God Block: Self-Care, as Leanne challenges 'conventional' views of health by emphasizing a 3-dimensional approach—mental, emotional, and spiritual care—as the foundation for physical well-being. She encourages you to redefine health and self-care, while inviting God into the journey and addressing the cultural misconceptions that often lead to harmful practices, and she paints a picture of shifting from the world's take on health...to a more all-encompassing, God-centered one.

It's time to toss out the one-size-fits-all approach, and figure out your unique recipe for health and well-being. But this time around: inviting God in as your Divine Partner.

OUTWEIGH: In Part 2 of this series, Leanne is back to discuss the often-misunderstood topic of body fat and its relationship with fascia. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and appreciating fat, as it plays a crucial role in the body's functions and should not be stigmatized. 

She also delves into the science behind fat and fascia, breaking it down very simply, but also highlighting how they are not just passive tissues but play active roles in metabolism, hormonal regulation, and more.   She also walks you through how fascia, a connective tissue, can interact with fat, affecting issues such as fat storage and fat loss. 

Leanne's goal is to empower you to take care of your body (and this includes your fat and fascia), and to help you unravel the mysteries of body fat and fascia to help you improve your overall well-being and relationship with your body.

THIRD THING: Kat shares two of her favorite dessert recipes that will be making an appearance at her holiday get-togethers. FOURTH THING: Kat touches on body image around the holidays!

Today’s quote is from NEEDTOBREATHE’s song “Dreams”:

That's why I throw my bones in the rhythm

Sink my teeth in a good time

Whole lot more than a feeling

I could lose

That's I why I brace myself every minute

Trying to hold on tight for a good ride

Fools like us are only here to prove

You make dreams come true

Amy asks the question: when it comes to accomplishing the dreams in your life, where there has been struggle, but you’ve preserved - what comes to mind for you?  

As a follow up to Amy’s conversation with her friend, Jeremiah, last week, Kat gives her thoughts on the 7 Primal Questions: 

• Am I safe? 
• Am I secure? 
• Am I loved? 
• Am I wanted? 
• Am I successful? 
• Am I good enough? 
• Do I have purpose?

Kat’s fiance did something to make her feel insecure when talking in his sleep which leads to a conversation about premarital couples counseling, keeping separate bank accounts, and interdependence (the healthy space between fully independent & co-dependent).

In this episode of the "God Pod", Leanne invites you to redefine "surrender" and actively shift from self-reliance to God's guidance. Diving into the first ingredient AND the first "God Block", the focus is on Self-Acceptance as both an ingredient for a loving Self-Image and a potential block to receiving God's love.

Consider this episode a roadmap to recognizing and addressing your own "God Blocks", fostering self-acceptance, and taking practical steps to actually break through the "Paradox of Acceptance"...and how to accept yourself (even with all the messy bits) when you DON'T accept yourself.

OUTWEIGH: Nowadays fat has a bad rap. We hate it. We fear it. We name it. We blame it. We shame it. Some people will do whatever they can to destroy it and eliminate its "wrath" from their lives. But who ever said that fat was ugly, or something to be ashamed of? And what if you could work WITH it (learn how to actually take care of it on a nervous system level so you can actually get rid of it if that's what you want to do) instead of working AGAINST it? Since it IS such a prevalent "enemy" in today's world, and since it's not going away anytime soon, we might as well learn about it, right? 

Unfortunately no one is talking about that side of it. What you eat and how you move is PART of the equation, but it doesn’t cover the whole picture. Not even close! And I truly believe (and science will back me up!) that your health, body, and emotional struggles are simply EFFECTS of something going on ‘higher up’ in your brain and nervous system (SEE ALSO: That system of systems that dictates EVERYTHING!). And in this 4 part series, we are going to talk about a subject matter that baffles most women and causes more shame and sadness than any topic I’ve encountered:  The Truth About YOUR FAT (and what you can actually do about it)

Have you heard of Seven Primal Questions by Mike Foster? Amy's sister, Cristi, told her to get this book and take the quiz. Amy did and ended up with "Am I Wanted?" as her primal question (same as her sister!) Cristi highly recommends this book as part of a journey towards understanding yourself more and expressing yourself from a more authentic place.

Am I safe? 

Am I secure? 

Am I loved? 

Am I wanted? 

Am I successful? 

Am I good enough? 

Do I have purpose?

Amy's friend Jeremiah Carter joins her for this chat and they talk about the primal questions & so much more.
