OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 2 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Care", which  (as you'll learn) is so much more than a "manicures and bubble baths" conversation.

Amy and Leanne give a perspective on Self Care that extends beyond physical health and includes the mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and relational side of things, which is CRUCIAL if you truly want to learn to care for your own needs.

Self-care is not just about diet and exercise but about understanding what it takes to care for yourself in a holistic sense, and that's why they invite you to redefine your own definition of health, starting at the mind, body, spirit, heart level, rather than being solely focused on physical aesthetics or hard work.

Self care is SO personal, and that's why relying on others to dictate your own health and well-being can be limiting and disempowering. Join Amy and Leanne as they pave the way to a more 3-dimensional Self-Care conversation that encompasses taking care of your entire brain and nervous system -- from mind and body to heart and spirit.

Amy talks to Haley about a recent terrorization at her home by teenagers in her neighborhood. They had shirts covering their faces in an effort to remain anonymous, but they messed with the wrong house because Haley is an enneagram 8. She was not going to let this go until she tracked down who these kids were. She called 911, talked to the police & put a campaign up on her social media. In a few short hours she had them identified....don't mess with Haley (or her husband, as he is a lawyer!) These teens probably think they're partaking in something innocent & funny, but their behavior is not okay! Parents: we need to make sure we're talking to our kids about the dangers of these types of "pranks" (someone could get shot...seriously!)

Other things discussed:

- Acceptable pranks (what happened to simply toilet papering houses?)

- One bad decision could change your life

- Ghostbusters

Join Amanda and guest, Dr. Michael P. Masters, for an intriguing conversation today about UFOs, time travel, consciousness, spirituality, human evolution, and so much more!

Amanda has always been curious about pushing the ball forward in humanity. She wants to give people different ideas and ways of looking at what is happening - scientifically, biologically, anthropologically, consciously, and metaphysically - to draw their own conclusions. 

Today’s topics include: 

We encourage you to follow whatever peaks your curiosity! 

About Dr. Masters: 

Dr. Michael P. Masters is a professor of biological anthropology who specializes in human evolutionary anatomy, archaeology, and biomedicine at Montana Technical University. His research examines the premise that UFOs and ‘Aliens’ could be our future-human descendants, returning to visit and study their own evolutionary past. Dr. Masters is the author of 'Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon,' which is a broad-based scientific examination of this idea and 'The Extratempestrial Model,' which further scrutinizes this time-travel theory, with a focus on abductee and contactee accounts in the context of this and other theories put forth to explain this complex and mysterious phenomenon.

In this next episode of "The God Pod", Leanne shows you how to take a faith-based approach to addressing your own food and body struggles, by blending spirituality and faith WITH rewiring your brain for peace-of-mind and freedom. On the surface, it might not seem like the way we relate to our bodies and our eating habits has anything to do with God, but as you'll learn it's ALL related.

She'll draw from biblical wisdom AND evidence-based research to highlight the idea that faith can be a guiding force in breaking free from self-limiting beliefs and finding the strength to overcome addiction-like behaviors with food or sugar.  Faith and spirituality can absolutely play a profound role in your own personal growth and healing, and that's why Leanne's goal is to simply invite you into this new way to approach your struggles and to take away a renewed sense of empowerment, self-love, and faith, as you consider new ways to tackle your own food and body struggles.

So whether you're seeking guidance, inspiration, or a fresh perspective on your own journey, this episode has something valuable to offer everyone.

Today's episode revolves around a post that one of our listeners, Ashley Beck, put up about how the worst of us can show up so easily online. She appropriately titled the post: "A Place for the Worst in Us" and we hope this chat will help us all think twice before we post a rude or snarky comment online.

Ashley starts off asking for help (on Nextdoor) after her home was burglarized. She was hoping to find neighbors who might have video surveillance, etc... The comments were thoughtful at first and then soon went to the place most social media has the tendency to go: meanness and name-calling about elected officials, police, and generalizations about the citizens of Baton Rouge. None of it was helpful or relevant. This leads Ashley to wonder: Have we lost the ability to hold our tongues, to take a step back, to not rush to snap judgment or share every thought that enters our minds?? Her post ends with encouragement as she longs for neighbors who can agree to disagree and respond with civility and respect on important matters like political issues and religious views, and more benign things like hobbies, tone of voice, and food choices, and everything in between.  
Thank you Ashley for this important conversation...we all need to keep this in mind when we're online!

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are here for PART 1 of the 5-part Self-Image series called "Do You Know Your True Value and Worth?", where they take a deep dive into the concept of "Self Acceptance".

This is often the most challenging aspect of our Self-Image to grasp, because many of us are so focused on our flaws, shortcomings, and past mistakes... so accepting ourselves feels foreign.

Amy and Leanne walk you through practical ways to practice true self-acceptance when it comes to embracing yourself without exception, without shame, blame, guilt, or self-rejection, and without comparison-itus or perfectionism.

It's about accepting yourself as you are right now, 'warts' and all, without waiting to achieve certain goals to feel that way. This is so much easier said than done, and that's why they break it down in easy-to-digest baby steps that will meet you where you are in your own self-acceptance journey.
