Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!!! We got an email from Audrey following an episode we did on Kat's You Need Therapy Podcast called "Changing the Narrative." She asked if we could share thoughts on forgiveness, tools we used to let go of negative feelings, and what we have done to change our screen/filter/script when necessary. 

Please send emails for the 5th thing to [email protected]

This is a conversation that lives in Ep. 2 of the "OG" 4-part OUTWEIGH series from 2020 on the '4 Things With Amy Brown' podcast. If you haven't listened to all 4 parts...we highly encourage you to check it out. Doing that 4-part series introduced us to licensed therapist, @Kat.Deffata, and for that we are forever grateful. Hope you enjoy revisiting (or hearing for the first time) the day Lisa & Amy met Kat...they unpacked a lot that day (especially regarding Amy's ED story) that could be helpful to you! Kat's wisdom in this field is priceless & we appreciate her willingness to share some of her ED story with us as well.

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!!! Amy got an email from Katie in California asking for her to explain "angel tapping" in a 5th thing episode. So Amy & licensed therapist, @Kat.Defatta, do just that. Sometimes your brain will be all over the place and you need to calm down + get centered so you can focus...that's when angel tapping can come into play! Kat also shares other ways to help you process + cope if things are feeling hectic.

Amy reposted a meme on Instagram that said: "Every time the universe sends me a sing, I'm like ok but I think I'll wait for a signier sign." It made a lot of people lol because we can all relate to this in some way or another. A listener that saw this meme emailed in asking how to deal with constantly needing a "signier sign," so Amy & Kat discussed why we need this extra affirmation and what we can do to trust ourselves more.

We live in a world that allows us to filter and/or edit any pictures we put up online (whether on social media or dating apps). It can really mess with our self image. If we keep seeing ourselves filtered over and over again...we are going to be disappointed when we look in the mirror. It's okay to want to like what you look like in a picture, but to what extremes are we going through to get that perfect picture? And what if we displayed our personality more online instead of curating a bunch of perfect pictures? We have the ability to create a firm foundation of who we are and why we are online. When we have that foundation...we are less likely to seek affirmation from people on these platforms because we have it from ourselves.
