4 Things with Amy Brown

Alcohol, Botox, Finding Your Word of the Year & More (5th Thing)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/c0758728-763a-48f5-9044-b25e003742b4/transcript

In order to create space for growth and alignment...we must shed things that no longer serve us.

FIRST THING: Amy reads a special email from a listener, Kristin, who shares an update on her eating disorder. Her story is a powerful reminder of how far we can come when we commit to growth.

SECOND THING: Amy's giving facial fitness a go as she takes a break from Botox (because she fears muscle atrophy!!) and she's just working out her face from videos on YouTube. Below are a few that she likes so far. As for Botox, she shares some tips on how to avoid muscle atrophy if you're still getting injections (which she likely will do again one day herself!)

10-Minute Exclusive Face Fitness Practice

5 min massage for changing your face! 

10 Minute Face Yoga To Do Each Evening To Lift And Firm The Skin

THIRD THING: Amy opens up about her personal decision to stop taking Adderall for ADHD and Spironolactone for her face. Medications like Adderall and Spironolactone have their place and can be highly effective, but it’s essential to evaluate their role in your life continually.

FOURTH THING: Amy shares a quote that fits the theme of today's episode. "Shedding is necessary. Letting go of what no longer serves us creates space for growth, for new things to flourish." -Unknown

Today’s quote: “Therapy should have open houses like elementary school so my therapist can meet everyone I talk about” - @steadfastcounseling 

 

Inspired by Annie Downs, “That Sounds Fun”, Amy & Kat talk about making a list of things that sound fun to you during the stressful holiday season (rather than just focusing on the things that sound like a drag on your to do list). Ideas include:

 
Grabbing your favorite coffee drink
Baking chocolate chip cookies
Hiking in the woods 
Reading a good book
Singing carpool karaoke 
Have a game night
Curling up by a fire
Learning something new 

 

What sounds fun to you?? Make a list! 

 

Amy & Kat have fun playing The Toast’s “When You Know The Words To The Song” Game 

 

Other topics discussed:
Apple TV’s “Lessons in Chemistry” (spoiler alert!) and other shows that remind us of the double standards women used to face
Do you feel stressed when trying to verify you're not a robot?? 
Amy’s picture frame TV doesn’t actually have a frame…
PTL = Praise the Lord 

 

Bonus quotes: 
“The future is going to be crazy” 
“Today I completed a chore that I’ve been putting off for 6 months. It took 15 minutes. I will learn nothing from this” 
“I love the concept of being somebody’s peace, but unfortunately I’m insane”
