Outweigh

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)

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 5 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 Endorsement".

 It's not practical or even possible for anyone (specially women) to completely disregard what others think about them. However, what is possible is learning to value your own opinion of yourself (even just a little bit) more than someone else's opinion of you.

Imagine a world where you might LIKE that validation, but you don't NEED external endorsement to determine your own self-worth, beauty, or desirability. That is the conversation that Amy and Leanne invite you into in this episode, helping you to ultimately reshape your own self-image in a more empowering way.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 4 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 Worth". 

It's crucial to understand what you are "weighing" and measuring in your life, as well as the currency by which you are judging yourself --- especially if you are constantly "weighing" yourself based on external factors like your appearance, jean size, career status, relationship status, fill-in-the-blank --- rather than defining and setting your own 'currency' for self-worth.

Many women have never examined this aspect of themselves, and that's why Amy and Leanne encourage you to reflect on how you are valuing yourself, and in this episode they walk you through creating a self-worth currency that aligns with your personal goals and happiness, rather than relying solely on external 'measuring sticks'.

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for PART 3 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 Esteem", which revolves around the "know, like, and trust" factor of yourself.

Many women struggle with trusting themselves because they make promises to themselves but fail to follow through. And this is the cycle that causes you to lose trust and respect in yourself, and leads you to lack confidence and reliance on your own abilities. Instead of having a relationship of trust, confidence, and belief in yourself, your trust becomes negotiable, and it affects your entire self-image...until NOW!

Amy and Leanne walk you through the process of up-leveling and rewiring your self-image, so you can stop the cycle of making unkept promises, earn back your own trust, and make certain aspects of your life non-negotiable.

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.

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.

OUTWEIGH: In part 2 of this series, Leanne is back with guest Sarai White as they dive into the foundational beliefs that undermine our relationship with fashion (and how these beliefs can be reshaped to foster self-love and confidence). 

They challenge the common notion that you need to meet certain standards or goals before you 'deserve' to look and feel great in your clothes and other myths and common beliefs that come up for women as they are exploring this subject. More importantly they invite you into the powerful transformation that occurs when you recognize your worth right now (not “when you get there” or reach a certain goal)...and embrace fashion through THOSE eyes. 

They highlight the importance of living in the present moment, reminding you that the most special occasion is today. Waiting for some future "when" can hinder your journey towards self-love, and they explore how investing a little extra time in choosing and planning your outfits can make a world of difference in how you feel about yourself NOW.

Lastly, they celebrate the individuality of fashion. It's about defining your own style, not adhering to trends or others' expectations. Your fashion choices should be a reflection of your unique essence, and fashion is (and can be!) a potent tool for nurturing self-love and confidence.

OUTWEIGH: In the first episode of "Beyond the Mirror: Fashion's Role in Self-Love and Body Image," Leanne brings on Sarai White to take you on a journey into the world of fashion as a powerful tool for healing your body image. Drawing inspiration from iconic makeover shows like Oprah, Sally Jessy Raphael, and Ricki Lake, Sarai shares how she first explored the art of dressing for the body you have -- rather than feeling shame about the body that you DON'T have. 

Sarai shares her personal journey from "fitness to fashion" and how it played a role in experiencing herself and her clients (where she witnessed firsthand) the profound impact of choosing clothing that complements and celebrates your unique beauty. 

They'll uncover how it's not just about having a stylist or a massive budget; it's about selecting clothing that enhances your natural features AND contributes to your own healing journey with your body. The best part? You can do the same for yourself!

Throughout this episode, they discuss the importance of understanding your unique body, using clothing as a confidence booster, and providing practical tips on selecting outfits that suit your body type and personal style.

OUTWEIGH: In this eye-opening episode of Outweigh, we take a deep dive into the untold truths about the "Cost of Skinny." 

Leanne reflects on a pivotal moment in her own life, a major spine surgery at just 25 years old, which she endearingly calls the "Cost of Skinny." It's a powerful reminder of how the relentless pursuit of an idealized body image can lead to devastating consequences.

For years, Leanne was fixated on attaining a 'skinny,' 'lean,' 'toned,' or 'hot' body, drowning out the critical signals her body was sending her. Ignoring the screams for self-care, she pushed herself to the brink until her body couldn't take it anymore.

But that wasn't the only cost she paid. The "Diet Mentality" she had embraced for decades had inflicted additional invisible wounds:

★ A Food Prison: Constantly toggling between restrictive eating and carefree indulgence, caught in a cycle of obsession and guilt over every morsel of food.

★ A Body Prison: Feeling trapped in a body that didn't align with her true self, hiding behind oversized clothes, and allowing her body to dictate her life.

★ A Shame Prison: Carrying the burden of shame for struggling with food and body image, believing she was fundamentally flawed.

★ A 'Fat Head': A self-image tainted by negative self-perception, no matter how much weight she lost or how successful she became.

Leanne knows that her experience is far from unique. Every woman stuck on the diet and weight loss roller coaster is unknowingly paying their own "Cost of Skinny." In this episode, we dissect the ins and outs of how to break free from this destructive cycle, providing insights and strategies to help you avoid your own "Cost of Skinny" and embark on a journey toward self-acceptance, self-care, and genuine well-being.
