OUTWEIGH: The belief that food and body struggles are a life sentence keeps so many women stuck in cycles of frustration and self-doubt. In this episode, Amy and Leanne shine a light on why this story feels so true and how years of diet culture and negative self-talk make struggling feel “normal.” They’ll explore the brain’s role in keeping you stuck and share how small, consistent changes can rewire your patterns and beliefs for good.

Takeaway: Struggling doesn’t have to be your forever story. By understanding how your brain works and shifting your narrative, you can create a future where freedom with food and peace in your body are possible.

Amy & Kat get into how Lion’s Mane (a fluffy mushroom) is becoming a go-to for brain health and ADHD support. Is it really "nature’s Adderall"? Maybe. Maybe not. They also go over several do-able ADHD hacks that might help you in your everyday life and Amy reads a heartfelt email from a listener in Albuquerque who found comfort in laughter after losing a friend. It’s a reminder that even the most random, ridiculous conversations can bring joy when we need it most.

Next time something rubs you the wrong way, ask yourself: "Is this a red flag, or is it just something I don’t like?" Amy & Kat talk about how now not everything we call a red flag is actually a red flag. Sometimes, it’s more like an orange flag and it could turn red, sure, but it could also turn green!! Don't miss out on something awesome because of an ick! 
Speaking of red flags, Amy also opens up to Kat about her silly personality lately...she shares some very weird conversations she's been having lately and they wonder if Amy will be datable after all of this. 

A listener, Melissa, emailed us our quote: “Every time I think I have a new hobby it turns out I just like to buy stuff.”

Here's the Pottery Kit that Kat was talking about!

OUTWEIGH: The belief that happiness and confidence are tied to achieving a specific weight or size is one of the most common lies women tell themselves. In this episode, Amy and Leanne unpack how cultural conditioning and personal narratives convince us that joy is always “one goal away.” They’ll share real-life stories of why chasing a “goal body” doesn’t deliver lasting happiness and how you can start reframing your beliefs to cultivate happiness in the here and now.

Takeaway: Happiness isn’t a destination waiting for you at the end of a diet or goal—it’s something you can choose and create today by focusing on your inner world and aligning with what truly matters to you.
