OUTWEIGH: If you’ve ever seen your teenager spiral into stress, overwhelm, and food obsession—and felt utterly helpless—this conversation is a game-changer. In today’s episode, Leanne sits down with Natalie Borrell of Life Success for Teens, who’s spent nearly two decades helping students thrive not just academically, but emotionally and mentally. We’ll delve into why so many teens feel out of control around food when life itself feels out of control, and how teaching executive functioning skills like organization, time management, and boundaries can help them reclaim stability—and reduce the frantic energy fueling their anxiety and body struggles.

Get ready to discover real, practical tools your teen can use without piling on more rules or punishments. From establishing daily routines that create emotional breathing room to learning to say “no” and preserve mental space, Natalie and Leanne are sharing a new lens on supporting teens without the pressure-cooker tactics that so often backfire. If you want to guide your teen toward self-trust and genuine calm—rather than crash dieting or body shame—this episode will open your eyes to a radically different approach.

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!)

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
