How do you feel about your self-awareness? 95% of people think that they're self-aware, but only 10-15% actually are! Amy shares a simple fix to increase your self-awareness for a more fulfilled life. This "simple fix" is based on research done by Dr. Tasha Eurich and it all boils down to one word. Amy's cousin, Amanda, joins in on this chat and they both share their experience with this one word and how it's impacted the way they look at their lives. The "Let Them Theory" is so simple, you're going to start using it right away!! It's a simple phrase that will give you freedom! When you say "Let Them" - you're giving yourself permission to let others do whatever it is that they want to do. You are free from trying to control them. This phrase creates emotional peace for you and a better relationship with the people in your life. Shout out to Mel Robbins for teaching this to us! Spreading joy is another thing that can lead to a more fulfilled life. We've teamed up with BUILDING HOMES FOR HEROES to help veteran USMC Corporal Aaron Mankin and his 2 children. Our LIMITED EDITION Patriotic PIMPINJOY Line is on sale tomorrow (FRIDAY, June 9th) at BobbyBones.com and TheShopForward.com/pimpinjoy – 10a eastern / 9 ct / 8 mt / 7 pt. United States Marine Corps Corporal Aaron Mankin enlisted in the military out of his hometown of Rogers, Arkansas in 2003, right at the onset of the war in Iraq. He proudly served his country until he was medically retired in 2008. On May 11, 2005, while deployed near the Syrian border of Iraq, Corporal Mankin's vehicle was attacked with an improvised explosive device (IED). Since then, he has undergone 70 surgeries throughout his recovery to better his face, hands, and arms. He sacrificed so much and deserves this new home so much. Thank you for shopping PIMPINJOY if you're able to help...and you will get these items in time for 4th of July!

Happy Thanksgiving!! Today's the day that Amy's Christmas movie is available to stream on HBO Max. It's a romantic drama called 'Holiday Harmony' and we are freaking out. Amy tells Kat about the eyebrow mistake she made just days before filming. Brooke Shields is in the movie, so maybe Amy was inspired by her brows?? Big mistake, huge. In honor of thanksgiving, Kat & Amy do a special "4 things gratitude" sharing the thanksgiving side dishes + pies + family games + Christmas movies that they're most thankful for! Amy also sat down for 2 separate chats with people from 'Holiday Harmony.' The first chat is with the writer & producer of the movie, Lauren Swickard! The second chat is with the lead actor in the movie, Annelise Cepero (her character is Gail & that's who Amy shares a pivotal moment with during the infamous bathroom scene!)

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today's quote is: "I've learned to hold on to me. My favorite version of myself. Don't lose yours, okay?" - Amy in Holiday Harmony (the Christmas movie that she is in...it comes out on HBO Max in 2 days...eeeeeekkk!!!!) That line isn't exactly what Amy ended up saying in the movie, but that was the original script and we love that it's a reminder to stay true to ourselves....our favorite versions of ourselves!!!!!! This Thursday's 4 Things episode will be a special Thanksgiving episode with Kat joining in a little, along with the writer/producer of Holiday Harmony and the main character...can't wait for y'all to hear that! Amy heard a woman humming while she peed. It wasn't like a musical hum…it was like she was peeing and hummmmmming to make it possible since she was in a public restroom. Seemed like she had to hum to pee. Or it was a meditative type thing. Not sure. Also, did you know we aren't supposed to squat to pee?? Squatting over instead of sitting down on the toilet can change the mechanics of urinating; over time that can increase the risk of lowering urinary tract symptoms including pelvic floor dysfunction and infections. Amy share's an email from a listener that just lost 2 loved ones this year so the grief is super heavy...and she's trying to hold it together for her family & 2-year-old. Amy recommends Megan Devine's grief journal (link below) and Kat shares her thoughts on showing emotion/grieving/crying in front of our kids.

Our first ever LIVE podcast taping went down in Wichita and we had the best time!! It was so awesome to have listeners from all over Kansas join us and even cooler that some traveled from Texas, California, Oklahoma, Colorado, and West Virginia to be a part of this special evening! Amy is on a journey to really LIVE LIFE, to GET UNSTUCK, to MAKE A MOVE, and assess how she wants to SHOW UP in the world, so those are the 4 things she talked about: LIVING LIFE: What does it look like to really live your life? (ft. Dierks Bentley's thoughts on his song ‘Living') GETTING UNSTUCK with @KatDefatta: What have you not been able to admit to yourself? (ft.Walker Hayes' thoughts on his song ‘Beer In The Fridge') MAKING A MOVE with @CristiDozier: What is the next right step for you? (ft. Nicolle Galyon's thoughts on her song ‘Winner') SHOWING UP: How do you want to be remembered? (ft. Little Big Town's thoughts on their song ‘Rich Man') Journaling has been a huge part of Amy's healing the last couple of years, so we are very grateful to have writing prompts for each thing from writing expert & author, @AllyFallon LIVING LIFE: Write a hypothetical journal entry for a day that you're really living your life the way you want to live it. Example: What do you do on that day, who do you talk to, what do you not do, where are you, how do you feel about yourself, what decisions would you make, what conversation would you have? Take 5 minutes to imagine this day and write it as if it already happened. GETTING UNSTUCK: What is keeping you stuck and what it might look like to let go of it? MAKING A MOVE: Make a list of 10 things that would feel like winning to you even though it might look like losing to someone else? SHOWING UP: Imagine this is your last day on earth - who do you want by your side - and what do you hope they remember about you? Books have also been helpful during this time, so Amy put together book recommendations for each thing as well: LIVING LIFE: Hero On A Mission by Donald Miller GETTING UNSTUCK: The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel A. van der Kolk MAKING A MOVE: Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed.

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today's quote is: “I am at the age now where I can either do a daytime activity or a nighttime activity but I can't, under any circumstances, do both.” Just a fun/funny statement that really hits home for both Amy and Kat (ages 41 and 32) because they definitely have to choose whether they're doing something during the day or at night. Anyone else relate?? Amy then tells Kat about the ‘Whisper Method' that's trending on TikTok…and they both whisper their dreams into the mic before Amy shares 4 emails from listeners: Sara, Chelsea, Crystal, and Maci. These 4 emails led us to talking about spreading joy (PIMPINJOY + never suppressing a generous thought), not giving up on dreams, trying things even if you're scared of failing, and the wonders of South Dakota!

Hi, Here After with Megan Devine fans! This week we're including an episode Amy Brown did with singer/song-writer Walker Hayes and his wife, Laney! We hope you enjoy it! Singer/song-writer, Walker Hayes (who wrote our theme song! + the #PIMPINJOY song 'Joy Like Judy') and his wife Laney join Amy for all 4 things this episode. You might laugh. You might cry. The parents of 6 kids let us in on a lot and we are so thankful that they took the time to share it all. FIRST THING: Amy is obsessed with Walker's song “Don't Let Her”, which was written about Laney. Every girl would love for a guy to write her a song like this. Its genius. Sorta sad. But genius. And very sweet. A must listen!!! SECOND THING: Blessing others is fun. Walker & Laney have been on the receiving end, but now they are on the giving ned. They are paying it forward with their "Be a Craig Fund" that was inspired by their friend (named Craig) that blessed them with a van for their big family at a time when they were financially strapped and they didn't have a car with enough seatbelts for everyone. "Be a Craig Fund" now allows them to pass the blessing of a new car on to other people that need a little help. THIRD THING: Walker & Laney open up about the heartbreaking journey of losing their daughter Oakleigh during birth. They share about how they are getting through the grief process in hopes that it can be helpful to others who may be going through something similar. FOURTH THING: “Life ain't always pretty, but hey its pretty beautiful thing!” Through the good and the bad...Walker & Laney practice gratitude...so they each share 4 things they are thankful for. Be sure to check out WalkerHayes.com for his music, more information on the Be A Craig Fund, as well as the awesome merch mentioned in this episode.

This episode is all about connection & relationships in one way or another! FIRST THING: Is it good or bad for a relationship to have a fight from time to time? The answer is…good!! So in light of that, Amy shares mistakes you're making that escalate arguments with your partner/friend/etc. SECOND THING: Amy is traveling to Southern Pines, NC this weekend to visit some friends that she made in her late 20's while her husband was in the Air Force. She gives little backstories of how she made each friend (as an adult!!) and then she reads us a newsletter she recently received from @LisaHayim about making new friends (as an adult!!). Amy also shares how people can listen to Lisa's 10 tips and tools to making new friends in adulthood: The Truthiest Life is the podcast + the episode is titled: How To Make Adult Friendships! (linked below) THIRD THING: Amy received an email from a listener that wants to have a deeper connection with her dad. Amy has shared before that her own dad was an amazing cheerleader in her life and was around for the most part…but never took the time to truly connect with her. He always provided for Amy & her sister (which he thought was “connection”) so at least he was trying. Amy shares the email and then offers advice from her personal experience. FORTH THING: Apparently now more than ever, we should have a work BFF…it will make us better on the job! Amy shares the 4 benefits of having a work BFF. Link to ‘How To Make Adult Friendships' from The Truthiest Life Podcast HERE! To send Amy an email: 4ThingsWithAmyBrown@gmail.com Link to PIMPINJOY (help build a home for a hero!!)

New York Times Best Selling Author, Donald Miller, is our guest and Kat Defatta joins in on the conversation too, as she is a big Donald Miller fan! Amy recently read Donald's latest book, Hero On A Mission: A Path to a Meaningful Life, and asked him to come on the podcast as soon as she finished it! Amy's sister, Cristi, also loved the book, so she chimes in with a question (via text) for Don about procrastination! He shares a tip/trick that works best in his life to make sure he doesn't put things off! Don also breaks down the 4 characters in every story: victim, villain, hero, and guide. These 4 characters live inside us and hopefully we can be self-aware each day to know how we're showing up in the world. Spoiler: Amy feels like she often shows up as a victim and Don talks through that with her! Don also shares his '4 Things Gratitude' with Amy & Kat and gives us a book, a movie, a food, and an instagram account that he's thankful for! You'll love his answers! A few quotes we love from this episode: "What big thing is this preparing me for?" - Don - "What does this make possible?" - Don - "Weigh your press, don't read it." - Willie Nelson Don put up a recent instagram post (@DonaldMiller) that inspired Amy to share the roots of PIMPINJOY in this episode too, as some people are not familiar with the backstory of this movement/campaign/merch line.

Welcome to the ‘5th Thing' with Amy & Kat! Our quote for today is from our producer Houston! He sent us a quote saying: “it's just a bad day, not a bad life” but he couldn't remember where he heard it…so we searched it up and it seems as though it's a Johnny Depp quote…Lol. - Amy & Kat spend this episode answering rapid-ish (nothing rapid about it, lol) questions: - Favorite thing to do for self-care / favorite way to recharge? - Can you post a link to jeans from the PIMPINJOY photoshoot? - What's saving your life right now? - What mascara do you use? - What is a benefit of Eating Disorder Recovery that you didn't expect to find? - Favorite show to binge? - Favorite perfume? - Current coffee order?

Before they get into numerology & Amy's birthday, they talk about 'THE GIFT OF TIME' and what that means for them as Amanda's mom has just entered the hospice phase of her cancer journey. Making space for others and others making space for you is so important! You also need to make sure you're making space for yourself {it's okay to focus on you - which is exactly why Amy's going away alone for her birthday weekend!!!} They wrap up their conversation talking about Amy's birthday wish of sending some love to the orphanage in Haiti where her kids lived for many years.

Amy Brown, an award winning radio co-host, podcaster, and philanthropist, sits down with Paula to talk about her journey to success, identifying the trusted voices to lean on when taking a leap of faith, and overcoming struggles with unique approaches. Amy has been a co-host of iHeartMedia's “The Bobby Bones Show” for the last 15 years, broadcasting internationally to millions of people daily, but before that she had zero experience in the field, a job she enjoyed and a pay raise in her future; and yet she decided to press into her fear and take a chance on a job that excited her. She also opens up about the influence her mom has had on her life and how the #PimpinJoy movement grew from a motivational mantra during her mom's battle with cancer to a clothing and accessory line that benefits organizations and initiatives in Haiti. The mother of two also shares her journey to adoption after dealing with infertility issues and what she has realized four years later that she hopes other families will keep in mind. She also opens up about her struggles with depression during the pandemic and how she discovered that puzzles held the key to a new slice of happiness.

"There's always good that can come from the bad." Cohost of the nationally syndicated Bobby Bones Show and host of Love What Matters Podcast: Amy Brown is a ray of sunshine as she shares vulnerably with us about her life. From her father walking out on her family to her mother dying of cancer: Amy is a shining example of finding blessings in all of life's experiences. SHOW NOTES: Her dad leaving was a devastating experience that ultimately transformed her life in a positive way. "There's always good that can come from the bad." "My mom was an example of hard work while still making time for me and my sister. Every morning before work, she and her friends gathered at our house and prayed for us. That's a really cool memory for me." "Sometimes you have to be patient to see the blessings that will come from a bad experience." "My mom never spoke ill of my dad. That was so important." As a radio host, when Amy's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, her audience knew and was interested in the journey. They started #PimpinJoy movement to celebrate how they all live with joy; her mom's motto was "I'm going to choose joy." When her mom was diagnosed for the 3rd time, she said: 'Lord, I won't pray for you to take it away, use it for good.' Walker Hayes wrote Joy Like Judy. Check out the video here. You can get #PimpingJoy gear here - a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the St. Judes or City of Hope. Listen to Amy's Love What Matters Podcast here. AMY BROWN'S LIVE INSPIRED 7 1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? Interrupted and Seven both by Jen HatMaker. They changed my perspective on life in general. Sometimes as Christians we can get too legalistic on things and be too much about what we are against instead of what we are FOR. Her books helped me dig a little deeper and have my faith interrupted. If you feel like you are just going through the motions, read these books to get a way to love the world better. 2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do? Build a new orphanage in Haiti. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? My computer. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Robin Roberts. I've always been inspired by her as a female in broadcasting and her journey with cancer and breaking barriers for black women. My kids are Haitian, they are black, so I want them to have role models like her. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Choose joy. From my mom. I've learned the difference between happiness and joy in the last few years and how to choose it. Be joyful but also live in and recgonize the hard times so you don't miss the opportunity to learn and grow from them. 6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? It's okay that he dumped you. Don't let yourself be defined by something else. Work on yourself. Don't worry about what everyone else wants or needs you to be. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? Choose joy. Have hope. *** If you enjoyed today’s episode: Subscribe (automatically get new episodes), rate & review (help spread the word!) this podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
