Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote: “Power of empathy: I’m in it with you. I’m not here to fix you. I’m not here to feel it for you. I’m here to feel with you and let you know you’re not alone.” -Brene Brown 

 

Amy reads a few listener emails: one about connection & sharing things, one about a co-worker conflict, and another about evolving (which FYI: if you’re not evolving, you're dead!)

 

Kat gives us something to keep in mind when it comes to what we share publicly (like on social media or other platforms): “There is this culture that our whole lives can be exposed if we want them to be.” (Sometimes just sharing a small detail is more powerful than giving it all.)

We’re revisiting our conversation with Walker and Laney after having such a special conversation with Walker earlier this week!

 

Singer/song-writer, Walker Hayes (who wrote our theme song! + the #PIMPINJOY song 'Joy Like Judy') and his wife Laney join Amy for all 4 things this episode. You might laugh. You might cry. The parents of 6 kids let us in on a lot and we are so thankful that they took the time to share it all. FIRST THING: Amy is obsessed with Walker's song “Don’t Let Her”, which was written about Laney. Every girl would love for a guy to write her a song like this. Its genius. Sorta sad. But genius. And very sweet. A must listen!!! SECOND THING: Blessing others is fun. Walker & Laney have been on the receiving end, but now they are on the giving ned. They are paying it forward with their "Be a Craig Fund" that was inspired by their friend (named Craig) that blessed them with a van for their big family at a time when they were financially strapped and they didn't have a car with enough seatbelts for everyone. "Be a Craig Fund" now allows them to pass the blessing of a new car on to other people that need a little help. THIRD THING: Walker & Laney open up about the heartbreaking journey of losing their daughter Oakleigh during birth. They share about how they are getting through the grief process in hopes that it can be helpful to others who may be going through something similar. FOURTH THING: “Life ain’t always pretty, but hey its pretty beautiful thing!” Through the good and the bad...Walker & Laney practice gratitude...so they each share 4 things they are thankful for.

Be sure to check out WalkerHayes.com for his music, more information on the Be A Craig Fund, as well as the awesome merch mentioned in this episode.

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! You should listen to today’s episode for the quotes/memes alone…they share a few good ones for sure (some funny, but also some that lead to a conversation about emotions and managing feelings.) They also address a few listener emails…one specifically about trying to start working out in a healthy way after getting over some disordered eating & unhealthy workout habits. Amy talks about some shows she’s watching: ‘The Thing About Pam’ (a true crime story on Peacock) and Brene Brown’s HBO Max special called ‘Atlas of the Heart.’ Kat shares her fear of getting kidnapped & electrocuted during thunderstorms when wearing glasses and then Amy gives an update on the status of her Outweigh Podcast that focuses on the gray area of eating disorders.

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “Never suppress a generous thought!” (thank you to listener Sara for sending that). After discussing how we can all ignore simple gestures that come to mind at times…Amy shares emails from listeners: Melissa (about baking with kids + an awesome cake recipe!) and Samantha (about how she did her dissertation on gratitude because of the podcast, which is just SO COOL!!!) Amy then talks about her movie role and read something powerful that @cthagod posted on Instagram:

You’re right, 
I was…but I’m not any longer. 
I did…but I don’t anymore. 
I decided…but I changed my mind. 
The world calls it evolution. 
The Scripture calls it sanctification. 
Another great term for it is GROWTH.
You don't have to explain or apologize for it. EVER
