In this week's Weight Loss Wednesday, I'm finishing up holiday Q&A and talking about the situations that make weight loss feel extra difficult this time of year. Full plates, food-centred family gatherings, endless leftovers and that familiar feeling of losing control around food.If the holidays tend to throw you off track, you are not imagining it. This episode is about getting through this season without turning one meal or one day into something bigger than it needs to be.In this episode, I cover:Feeling sad when you cannot finish your plate and how starting with less food or using smaller plates can helpWhy grieving your old relationship with food is real and validWhy pushing feelings down or planning to “eat it later” usually backfiresHow to handle meals when you do not know what is being servedWhy hydration matters and how thirst often gets mistaken for hungerWhat to do when you are hosting and stuck with all the leftoversFreezing meals, giving food away and why throwing food out is not a moral failureNavigating families where holiday gatherings revolve around foodWhy saying “I have no self-control” becomes a self-fulfilling prophecyHow self-control is built through small, repeatable decisionsWhat to do if last Christmas ended in feeling physically awful and mentally worseEnjoying holiday food without deprivation by managing portionsHandling multiple parties without overeating or feeling rudeWhy telling the truth about boundaries is usually enoughLosing weight when you are the main cook and your partner needs to gain weightCarrying the emotional load at home and why putting yourself first mattersManaging wanting all the things when calories are limitedUsing maintenance calories strategically during the holidaysWhat I actually do the day after a binge and what I do not recommendWhy one binge or one hard holiday does not erase your progressThis episode is about awareness, honesty and protecting the progress you have alSupport the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

Modern soda isn't a trend — it's one of the fastest-growing segments in beverage. Now a $1.8B U.S. category, up 83% YOY, according to Circana, modern soda is redefining the carbonated space with functional benefits, low sugar, and health-forward positioning.Two brands were instrumental in creating this market: OLIPOP and Poppi. Together, they introduced consumers to gut-health sodas long before the category had a name — and they helped transform what was once a stagnant soft drink landscape into one of the hottest growth stories in CPG.Today, OLIPOP stands as the category's largest independent player, following Poppi's 2025 acquisition by PepsiCo for roughly $1.95B. OLIPOP is now sold in 50,000+ doors, staffed with 200+ employees, and approaching a $2B valuation. In this episode, OLIPOP Co-Founder, CEO and Formulator Ben Goodwin breaks down how OLIPOP carved out its own lane with a deeper scientific foundation and a product-first ethos that helped propel the entire modern soda movement.

What if your brain isn't in charge? What if your mind, your thoughts, your awareness, your choices—is actually directing your brain, not the other way around? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Caroline Leaf, a communication pathologist, audiologist, and neuroscientist who spent 40 years proving what the medical establishment refused to believe: your mind can rewire your brain. She explains why habits actually take 63 days to form (not 21), why rehearsing trauma keeps you trapped in it, and how a 60-second pause can interrupt panic attacks, people-pleasing spirals, and chronic pain patterns before they take over. Start directing your own neuroplasticity. Healing is just around the corner.

Send us a textThe holidays have a sneaky way of making weight loss harder than usual. In this episode, I'm talking about holiday sabotage, and that includes sabotage from other people and the sabotage we do to ourselves.As the season ramps up, weight loss can feel like it is being challenged from all sides. Family comments, food pushers, passive-aggressive coworkers, unsupportive partners, and people who think your body and your plate are open for discussion. Add old memories, emotional triggers, and holiday stress, and suddenly everything feels heavier than it should.In this episode, I break down what holiday sabotage really looks like and how to deal with it without blowing up your progress.In this episode, I cover: • What holiday sabotage actually looks like • The difference between sabotage and enabling • Why one-size-fits-all advice does not work when it comes to family and social dynamics • How emotional sabotage can be just as powerful as food • When it makes sense to speak up and when it is better to let it go • How sabotage from others can turn into self-sabotage • Why preparation matters more than perfection • How awareness can keep you out of the emotional eating spiralI also explain how to use my 3A Way system during the holidays: Awareness of what is coming Acknowledgement of how it feels Accountability for how you respondThe goal is not to have a perfect holiday season. The goal is to get through it without turning on yourself. Sometimes having a strategy is the strategy.If the holidays feel harder than you expected, you are not failing. You are human. Stop using guilt as a motivational tool and give yourself some breathing room.Thanks for watching. If you found this helpful, please like, subscribe, and share.

Judgment from other people, constant food noise, baking traditions, grief, and pressure to “just eat because it's Christmas” all tend to show up at once.In this Weight Loss Wednesday, I'm answering real listener questions pulled from the vault that are just as relevant now as when they were first asked. This episode is about staying grounded through the holidays, setting quiet boundaries, and continuing forward without sabotaging yourself.In this video, I talk about:• Being judged no matter what you eat and why you cannot win with everyone• Why your weight loss is for you, not for relatives with opinions• Feeling discouraged this time of year and why food becomes emotional support• How to cope with low moods without turning food into the only answer• How to spot higher calorie foods when you cannot ask what is in everything• Holiday baking traditions and how to enjoy them without overdoing it• Why giving baked goods away can save both your progress and your sanity• Handling jealousy when someone close to you is losing weight faster• Weight loss medications, comparison, and staying in your own lane• Why slower weight loss often wins in the long run• Navigating the first holidays after losing someone you love• Creating new traditions while honoring the people who are gone• Avoiding hurt feelings without sacrificing your goals• Why saying less usually works better than explaining yourself• Dealing with family members who pressure you to “just eat”• What food noise really is and why it does not mean you are failing• Recognizing your wins even when food noise is loudThis episode is about protecting both your progress and your mental health during the holidays.

Send us a textIn this episode I dive into part two of my holiday survival series. This stretch between Thanksgiving and New Year's can feel chaotic, emotional, and full of food that pushes every button you've got. So I'm sharing the tools, mindset shifts, and strategies that actually help you stay grounded instead of getting swept into the holiday eating vortex.I talk about the power of incentives and why giving yourself small rewards is not cheating. It's strategy. Whether it is a long soak in the tub or a quiet movie alone, those incentives can carry you through stressful family dinners or long holiday events.You'll hear me break down one of my biggest safety nets too. No grazing. No walking and chewing. No standing at the fridge door while grabbing bites. Getting food on a plate and being present with what you are eating is one of the best ways to stay satisfied and in control.I also walk you through navigating holiday triggers, from difficult relatives to happy memories to grief that sneaks up out of nowhere. I share how I am preparing for my first Christmas without my grandmother and how planning ahead makes a huge difference.Then we get into the mindset traps. The “I'll start after Christmas” trap. The “this is my last holiday before I get serious” trap. The “I already messed up so I might as well quit” trap. I help you see those patterns clearly so you can stop falling into them.Before wrapping up, I offer two tools you can use if the holiday week feels like a true emergency. Weekly calorie spacing, which I don't normally recommend but explain safely if you choose to use it, and going to maintenance calories for the week between Christmas and New Year's so you can enjoy the season without losing control.This episode is all about empowerment, calm, and clarity. You don't have to dread the holidays or feel like you're walking into a trap. You can enjoy Christmas, enjoy the people you love, and come out of it proud of the choices you made.Support the showLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

The Truth About Food Nobody Told You with Matt Beaudin | with Lyndsay Dowd   Some chefs chase fame. Matt Beaudin chased truth. From riverbank fires in Vietnam to volcanic soil in Rwanda, he learned from people whose kitchens often had no walls—only stories, culture, and purpose. Today, he shares that journey with us. In this cinematic and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Chef Matt Beaudin, a world-class culinary leader whose career has been built not in glossy kitchens—but in the kitchens of villagers, fishermen, farmers, and cultures most chefs have only read about. Matt's journey has taken him from the volcanic slopes of Rwanda to riverbank fires in Vietnam, from hidden markets in Hong Kong to back-porch grills in the Caribbean and small island kitchens in Barbuda. He didn't travel to collect stories—he traveled to earn them. Today, Matt is a leading voice in sustainability and conservation, using food as a platform for purpose. In this conversation, he shares how consumer choices shape global supply chains, why real sustainability requires truth—not marketing—and how partnering with the right suppliers can uplift communities and protect the environment. We also dive into his journey from barely graduating high school in a small New Hampshire town to attending the Culinary Institute of America, often called the "Harvard of cooking schools," and becoming a globally respected culinary storyteller. If you care about food, culture, leadership, conservation, or making an impact, this is a must-listen.

Amy Duggar King is an author, entrepreneur, and television personality from TLC's 19 Kids and Counting. She grew up side-by-side with the Duggars, spent years inside the world the public only saw on TV, and has since become a bold advocate for healing, truth-telling, and breaking generational cycles. We dive into Amy's book, Holy Disruptor, where she reveals the secrets, manipulation, and gaslighting she endured inside the Duggar world and in her own home. She talks honestly about being labeled “Crazy Cousin Amy,” the trauma she carried off-camera, and what it took to finally step into freedom. Amy opens up about her relationship with her grandfather, an emotionally abusive father, and what life was really like on the show. She shares what it was like to live through the fallout of her cousin Josh's scandals and arrest, the pressure to stay silent, and the cost of finally using her own voice. Most powerfully, Amy shares how she has held onto Jesus through everything. How she rebuilt her faith after being hurt by Christians, and why disrupting deception can be a deeply holy act.

Send us a textIn this episode, I kick off the first part of my Surviving the Holidays series. With Thanksgiving landing this week and the rest of the season barreling toward us, I wanted to give you tools that help you stay grounded, keep your sanity, and protect your progress. The holidays can be exciting, stressful, emotional, nostalgic, overwhelming, or all of the above. Food is everywhere and so are the feelings that come with it. This episode is all about helping you get ahead of that instead of feeling steamrolled by it.I talk about how my own experience with holiday eating has changed since losing the weight and why the season feels so different now. Food is still a big part of the holidays for me, but learning how to be satisfied with less, both physically and emotionally, has made the season much less intimidating.I also get into how deeply the holidays are tied to stress, pressure, and memories, and how all of that affects your eating. I share the safety nets I use to cut down my December stress and explain why reducing stress earlier in the season can help you avoid the mindless eating that comes with overwhelm.We also talk about tracking during the holidays, even on the messy days. Going over your calories is not the same as going way over them, and the only way to see the difference is to keep tracking. This is where awareness comes in. If you have not listened to episode 12 on the 3A Way, I recommend going back to that one too.I wrap up with an important reminder about exercise. You do not earn your food with workouts, and trying to build in exercise to compensate for holiday eating is a losing strategy. Your body burns what it burns. That doesn't change because it's December.Part two of this Surviving the Holidays series comes out next Monday with more strategies and practical ways to fit those special holiday foods into your calorie budget without feeling deprived. I also have a brand new Weight Loss Wednesday up this week with more of your questions.If you need anything, you know where to find me. And if you are in the States, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.Looking for help on your weight loss journey? I've created a couple of resources:• My NEW Membership Community Flamingo Forum!

In this episode of Health Gig, Doro and Tricia welcome Dr. Efrat LaMandre, better known as Dr. E, the NP with a PhD. Dr. E talks about her transition from conventional medicine to functional medicine, driven by her wife's health and struggles they confronted during doctor visits. Dr. E talks about becoming a "medical disruptor," challenging medical gaslighting and symptom-focused care instead of root-cause concern. Dr. E empowers listeners to take ownership of their health journeys, particularly within a healthcare system that often overlooks their lived experiences.

In this transformative episode, Lyndsay Dowd sits down with Dr. Iris Crawford, the world's leading authority on the Pre-Hormone System and one of the most trusted voices in women's hormonal health. Known as The Hormone Boss, Dr. Crawford reveals the truth about menopause, perimenopause, burnout, fatigue, and why conventional medicine is still operating from outdated hormonal science. Dr. Crawford opens up about her journey from growing up in poverty to becoming a nationally recognized naturopathic physician dedicated to empowering women with real answers. She explains why most women enter menopause already hormonally imbalanced—and why a "just do HRT" approach is not only incomplete but can be ineffective or harmful. This episode breaks down the stress response system, the pre-hormone system, and why accurate hormone ratio testing is the missing key to helping women reclaim their energy, mood, and mental clarity. Dr. Crawford outlines her proven six-month protocol, designed to repair hormone production at the root. Whether you're navigating hormonal changes, burnout, or searching for answers your doctor can't explain, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and hopeful.

Send us a textIn this week's Weight Loss Wednesday, I'm tackling another round of your questions. I love these episodes because they let me answer the things you're genuinely struggling with in real time. Keep sending them in. They really do shape what this podcast becomes.I start with a question I know so many of us wrestle with: how to stop second-guessing the plan every time someone else has an opinion. Whether it's oats, keto, fasting or the latest shiny little diet gimmick, the noise never stops. I talk about why that noise is so loud, how diet culture keeps repackaging century-old nonsense, and why the simplest approach really is the one that works. Oatmeal isn't sabotaging you. Bacon and bubblegum aren't magic. Stick to the calories. That's the only thing that matters.From there, I jump into frozen meals. Yes, I eat them. Yes, some are healthy. And yes, some are absolutely not healthy, but also still delicious and easy. The beauty of them is the convenience and the accuracy. The calories are right there and that makes life so much easier on the days when you just need simple and doable.We also talk about the ten-day egg diet. I love eggs. I truly do. But eating just one food for ten days? Not my vibe. I explain why single-food diets aren't sustainable, why balance matters, and a little bit about my own digestive quirks that mean vegetables are a non-negotiable for me.Then I answer a really important question about tracking. Does logging your food help on your weight loss journey? Absolutely. I talk about why it works both practically and emotionally, and why I genuinely believe calorie tracking is the only real shortcut that exists in weight loss.There's also a thoughtful question from a pregnant listener about whether to keep working the plan during pregnancy and postpartum. I share my own experience with pregnancy, loss and nursing, and why I would personally focus on nutrient density and medical guidance rather than weight loss during that time.And finally, I answer a question about my new gratitude journal and how it fits into my daily routine. I talk about how it's separate from my regular journaling, why gratitude became such a huge part of my life after getting sick, and how it can actually influence a weight loss journey in some really Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

Most people assume their blood sugar is “fine” because their fasting glucose was normal at their annual physical.But here's the truth…

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm talking about something that has shaped my life in ways I didn't even understand until years later, something my husband calls an "environment of yes". After I got sick, Shahn made a conscious effort to surround me with as much positivity and choice as possible. He created yeses in a season of my life that had been nothing but no, and it changed everything for me.Today I'm pulling back the curtain a little to share what that looked like, why it mattered, and how you can use the same idea to make losing weight easier on yourself, especially when the process feels restrictive, frustrating, or draining.I walk through what recovery was really like: the physical and emotional toll, the identity crisis, the guilt, the grief, the monster thoughts in the mirror, and the weird contradiction of feeling overwhelmingly grateful and completely traumatized at the same time. I also talk about what it meant to rebuild my life after losing my autonomy for months, and how powerful it was when someone kept handing me small moments of yes.Then I connect it back to weight loss. Because weight loss can feel like an unending series of no's: no to food, no to comfort, no to old coping mechanisms, no to autopilot eating. And when we feel boxed in, restricted, and stripped of choice, we rebel. Diets count on that, but your success doesn't have to.Creating your own environment of yes helps you stick with hard things without feeling trapped. It might be saying yes to snacks you prepped ahead of time. Yes to a meal you planned for. Yes to a choice you get to make, not a rule someone else handed you. Yes to something that feels good when so much of this process feels hard.You can't escape the hard. But you can balance it. You can build pockets of positivity into your day so you don't burn out on the negative. Hard is hard and pain is pain, but the more yeses you give yourself, the more you'll be able to keep going.If you're feeling boxed in, restricted, frustrated, or fed up, this one is for you.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send us a textIn this tenth Weight Loss Wednesday episode, I'm answering your questions about navigating the final stretch of the year. The last quarter can feel intense, emotional, chaotic and tempting all at once, and I want to help you move through it with clarity instead of panic.I talk through everything from holiday body checking to seasonal darkness, guilt and shame spirals, maintenance expectations, and finding accountability without feeling boxed in.

Maintenance doesn't mean coasting, but it also doesn't mean panic.• Building accountability into your routine without feeling restrictedWhy restriction is individual, how to identify what it looks like for you, and small tactical shifts that can help you stay committed without feeling trapped.• A personal question about my hairYes, I talk about the pink. And the red. And the purple. And everything in between.If you're feeling the pressure of the last quarter, this episode gives you tools, reassurance and a plan.

Send us a textIn this episode, I talk about something most people don't even realise is an option on a weight loss journey. We act like when things get hard, the only choices are to keep going or to give up. But there is a third option that can save your progress, protect your mental bandwidth, and stop you from falling back into that old start again cycle. I call it damage control mode.I explain what damage control actually looks like, why it's not the same as quitting, and why it's definitely not the same as starting again on Monday, in January, or on whatever random future date we like to convince ourselves is perfect. This isn't giving up. This is stepping back just enough to stop yourself from burning out and undoing all your progress.I walk through the mindset shift required to do this well, why being intentional is the key difference, and how to use damage control mode to maintain your weight when life is overwhelming. I also share how to work out your maintenance calories, what to track, and how this choice respects the effort you've already put in.If you've ever hit a wall and thought I can't keep doing this, this episode will show you how to pause without spiralling. Damage control mode keeps you moving forward, just in a different gear.Looking for help on your weight loss journey? I've created a couple of resources:• My NEW Membership Community Flamingo Forum!

In her new memoir, Holy Disruptor, Amy Duggar King shines a bright light on her difficult relationship with the Duggar family during and after shooting “19 Kids and Counting,” and gets honest about her own troubled past. Amy is on a crusade to break the generational cycle of trauma that has become a hallmark of the Duggar clan. She talks with me about watching her cousins struggle under the strict rules of the ultra-conservative IBLP; how she feels about being labeled “Crazy Cousin Amy” on the show, and what happened when she confronted Josh Duggar in the wake of his horrific sex scandals.

Send us a textIn this episode I am talking about what to do when you feel stuck, flat, or like you have lost your footing a little bit in your weight loss journey. This is not about starting over. I am not interested in the start stop cycle and I know you're not either. This is about refreshing your approach, clearing the mental clutter, and getting grounded again so that you can keep going.Sometimes we hit a point where it feels harder than it should. We feel like we are doing the right things but the scale is not moving or our momentum has dipped. It happens. It's normal. It does not mean you have failed or that you need to scrap everything. It simply means it is time to reset your basics, tighten your foundation, and remind yourself of what actually works.In this episode, I walk through the practical checks I do when I need a refresh, the mindset shifts that help me stay in forward motion, and how to keep this feeling temporary instead of turning it into a restart.In this episode I cover:Why a refresh is not a restartChecking your TDEE and app settings for accuracyWhen to move from eyeballing to measuringSpread, sprinkle, pour foods and how they creep up fastLetting yourself have the food you love without restrictionWater intake and why it still mattersStaying present and mindful with your foodHow to manage the mental and emotional side when it feels toughThe reminder that this only lasts if you stop tryingLooking for help on your weight loss journey?

Send us a textIn this week's Weight Loss Wednesday, I'm answering your questions about some of the most common challenges on the journey, from feeling shame around tracking to the pressure to get your macros just right.I talk about how to handle the guilt that can come with calorie tracking, why it's so important to see the truth instead of avoiding it, and how to stop the exhausting cycle of starting and stopping.I also explain why I believe calorie awareness matters more than macro math, what really causes weight regain, and how my 500-calorie deficit approach kept me on track during both of my major weight loss phases.Other questions this week include the difference between secondary and type 2 diabetes, and whether I've had loose skin removal surgery after my weight loss.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

JB White returns with a whirlwind RattlerGator Report, weaving weather, sports, and politics into one of his most colorful episodes yet. Kicking off with prayers for Jamaica as a massive hurricane barrels toward the island, JB reflects on faith, preparation, and the balance between divine protection and human reason. From there, he dives into the University of Florida's coaching shakeup, firing up about boosters, agents, and why the Gators deserve a visionary leader in the new “general manager” era of college football. As the show unfolds, JB connects the chaos in sports to Trump's broader role as the “Disruptor in Chief,” reshaping gambling, global finance, and culture itself. With his trademark humor, history lessons, and straight talk, JB ties it all together, proving that whether it's football, hurricanes, or the world economy, it's all part of the same game of power, timing, and discernment.

When Kathy Chester lost her eyesight in one eye on Mother's Day over twenty years ago, she had no idea this would be the beginning of her journey with multiple sclerosis. As a former gym owner and lifelong athlete, her first instinct was to "run it out"—pushing her body harder in hopes of defeating the disease through sheer determination. Today, that fighting spirit has evolved into something far more powerful.Kathy joins us to share her transformation from newly diagnosed patient to empowered advocate as the host of the MS Disrupted podcast and coach for people living with chronic illnesses. Her philosophy challenges conventional thinking: instead of focusing on limitations, she asks "what am I willing to lose?"—a question that sparked her movement-focused approach to managing MS and rheumatoid arthritis.The conversation delves into the complex emotional landscape of chronic illness, particularly the anxiety that often accompanies diagnosis and progression. All three speakers acknowledge the struggle to extend grace to themselves despite readily offering it to others. Kathy emphasizes the importance of connecting with people who truly understand this unique anxiety, noting that support from those with similar experiences provides validation that well-meaning but uninformed supporters cannot.From practical advice about distinguishing between normal exercise soreness and disease symptoms to red flags when evaluating potential partnerships with health companies, Kathy offers invaluable insights gained through both personal experience and professional expertise. Her expanded support group acknowledges that autoimmune conditions often appear in clusters, creating spaces where people with multiple diagnoses can find comprehensive understanding.Whether you're living with chronic illness, supporting someone who does, or simply interested in transforming how we approach health challenges, Kathy's disrupting philosophy offers a refreshing perspective.

Send us a textIn this Weight Loss Wednesday, Charlotte answers more listener questions about everything from loose skin to sweeteners. She gets into the mindset shifts that make weight loss sustainable, the math behind TDEE, and why the slow-cooked frog might just be your new favourite metaphor.In this episode:How much control we really have over loose skin (and what actually helps)Why self-loathing after yo-yo dieting is a spiral that can be interruptedWhat happens to your TDEE as you lose weight and how to make the transition easierThe “slow-cooked frog” strategy for calorie reductionA realistic take on artificial sweeteners and low-fat productsA personal question about pets (and why the answer involves three little boys and no lizards)Key takeaways:Genetics play a major role in loose skin, but losing slowly, staying hydrated, and moisturising can help.Self-loathing is unproductive. It's aimed at a past version of you that no longer exists.Adjusting your calorie intake gradually is far more sustainable than big cuts.Sweeteners and low-fat products can be useful tools, not villains.Weight loss is hard, but it doesn't have to be miserable.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

What's it like to survive chaos at home, culty control next door, and a national TV spotlight that labels you “crazy cousin”—all before breakfast? In this episode, we sat down with Amy Duggar King to talk about finally telling her real story after years of reality TV, IBLP dogma, and generational trauma behind the Duggar family empire. Amy gets candid about finding her voice after childhood abuse, navigating gaslighting on and off the set, and why her memoir aims to help others break free from toxic family systems. From confronting red flags and speaking out about Shiny Happy People to choosing peace, healing, and faith on her own terms, Amy shares what it means to be a “holy disruptor” when the world wants you to keep smiling for the cameras.

Send us a textIn this episode, Charlotte continues her “Weight Loss Nevers” series with numbers 7, 8, and 9 — three more things you should never do when trying to lose weight.She starts with the idea of never eating when you're not hungry, digging into how emotional hunger, boredom, and habit can all blur the lines between needing to eat and wanting to eat. Charlotte explains how awareness develops in stages, and how learning to pause and ask questions helps you take control of your choices.Next, she covers why you should never eat food you don't like. She challenges the idea that weight loss means eating “healthy” foods you hate, and reminds listeners that sustainability comes from enjoying what you eat while still making nutrient-dense choices.Finally, Charlotte closes with why you should never only focus on the long game. Big goals are motivating, but they can also feel overwhelming. She shares how smaller milestones and everyday wins help you stay consistent, confident, and focused on lasting progress.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

What does it mean for American media when someone like Bari Weiss is tapped to lead one of the country's legacy news outlets? Rafael Mangual, Jesse Arm, Carolyn Gorman, and Kerry Soropoulos analyze Paramount's acquisition of The Free Press and the appointment of Weiss as editor-in-chief of CBS News. The panel explores Weiss's track record of challenging orthodoxies and what her rise signals for journalism's future. They also discuss California's shifting political dynamics, spotlighting Representative Katie Porter's potential gubernatorial run.

For years, viewers of 19 Kids and Counting watched the Duggar family portray a picture of traditional Christian values. But behind the reality-TV smiles was a darker story of manipulation, control, and hidden abuse. While sisters like Jill and Jinger Duggar have spoken out, this week's guest offers a perspective we've never heard before. Amy Duggar King—known to millions as “Cousin Amy”—was there nearly every day, woven into the Duggar world. But even as she navigated the toxic dynamics within her famous extended family, she was returning home to her own secrets and struggles. For years she lived under labels she didn't choose, branded “Crazy Cousin Amy” while quietly enduring coercion and gaslighting. Now, with her new book Holy Disruptor, Amy is ready to share her story fully and honestly. In this conversation, she opens up about what it was like growing up surrounded by deception, how she learned to reclaim her voice, and why disrupting toxic cycles is not rebellion—it's sacred.
