4 Things with Amy Brown

Kat joins Amy to help her share something that has not been a secret, but that she has kept private so she could heal and take care of her family. She is so grateful for the love and support during this difficult season and hopes that this glimpse into her life will help others going through something similar feel less alone.

Have you heard of PMDD? Amy was diagnosed with it in college and took Zoloft for it. This came up because last week on Thursday’s 4 Things episode Danae Hays talked about being put on Zoloft at 11-years-old. When Amy got on it in college it totally changed her personality (for the 2 weeks out of the month that she was supposed to take it), so she didn’t end up taking it too long. Should we be able to take off of work during our time of the month (IF WE NEED TO) without consequences?

TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Confidence is 10 percent hard work and 90 percent delusion. I firmly believe that the number one most important life skill you can learn is how to do scary things scared.” - Tina Fey

OTHER THINGS DISCUSSED:
-The more self-aware you are...the more you realize how much you don’t know

-Mom-shaming, limited viewpoints (mom-shaming examples)

-This is how Keanu Reeves protects his peace: “1 + 1 = 5?? Ok sure, you’re right.” (he just doesn’t want to waste time arguing with people and doesn’t have time for that as he’s gotten older)

-Impromptu actors/movie game

-What are you too old to tolerate? Amy shares a list of things (i.e. standing at a concert, holding pee, waiting in long lines...)

-Share movie recs with us: [email protected]

It was so fun having listeners in the same room to tape this bonus episode!! Cryo Kat shares some quotes and then Amy & Kat answer a couple of questions from listeners: Shawn wants to know how to step outside his comfort zone to leave his career, and start his own company and create something he's actually passionate about. Ashley asks how to navigate unworthiness even though she's independent and self-sufficient, in relation to building a family and currently in a stable career.

Today's quote is from Annie Gottlier: "When some things go wrong, take a moment to be thankful for the many things that are going right." Amy pulled this from the '4 Things Gratitude Journal' along with this one from Jessica Honniger: "What if all you ever wanted is what you have right now? Gratitude is the byproduct of contentment." Both quotes are so good...Jessica's got Amy thinking about contentment and what that really means. Her favorite definition of it is: peaceful satisfaction!!! However, she did NOT have peaceful satisfaction the other day when she found out how much it was going to cost to fix the leaking pipe at her house OR when she realized there were raisins in her oatmeal cookies. Kat gives her opposing stance on raisins and they both share 4 things they are grateful for in this episode. Focusing on gratitude is a game changer. It doesn't ignore the situation, but redirects things.....to get back to that peaceful satisfaction faster!

They also go over a couple of listener emails from Julie and Katie. Julie wanted to get the 'Lucky Days' poem that Amy's sister, Cristi wrote because she wants to frame it in her house. It's such a special poem, so Amy decided to read it again for those that have never heard it or may need to hear it again. Katie wanted to know where to get the buffalo necklace that was mentioned a few weeks ago!

Hope you enjoy the episode & have the day you need to have!
