This is the start of a 4 part series of Amy and Kat unpacking Dr. John Gottman’s famous ‘Four Horsemen of the apocalypse’ for relationships which has helped him be able to predict the failure or success of a relationship with a 90% accuracy rate. Part 1 is Criticism, the one that often shows up first and sets the tone for conflict. Amy has her own issues with getting defensive and even gets her boyfriend on the phone to confirm. Kat explains why criticism is different from a simple complaint, how it sneaks in through exaggeration, “should” statements, jokes, and tone, and why it can actually be a clumsy bid for connection. You’ll learn Gottman’s antidote, the Gentle Start-Up, with clear “I feel / I need” examples to help you express concerns without blame. Whether you’re married, dating, or navigating family and friendships, this episode will help you spot criticism early and swap it for communication that keeps relationships strong.

Feeling of the Day: Angry (and Kat has every right to be!)

When Carley found herself constantly thinking about food—either obsessing over dieting or feeling like a failure for not being able to stick with anything—she knew something had to change. She was sick of the all-or-nothing mindset, the endless rules, and the guilt that always followed. But as the youngest woman to ever go through the Stressless Eating program, she also knew she didn’t want to carry this struggle into the rest of her life.

In this episode, Carley opens up about what it felt like to be trapped in a cycle of food obsession, why she finally decided to get help, and how she rewired her brain to break free. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice out there or wondered if you’d ever find peace with food, Carley’s journey will show you that real, lasting change is possible—at any age.

In this episode, Amanda explores what it means to be a Rainbow Warrior and how this archetypal energy can help us navigate a time of massive transition. As we move through the eclipse season, our systems are breaking down, but new light and abilities are also coming through. We're reminded that our human experience is sacred, and we have a duty to ourselves and to the planet.

Discover how to connect with your own inner power, anchor in new light, and become a harbinger of renewal. We dive into the profound symbolism of the Rainbow Warrior across different cultures, from Aboriginal lore to the concept of Kundalini energy and Earth’s ley lines. Learn how this mythic archetype can help you bridge linear and multidimensional time, and why it’s connected to the sacredness of water.

We’ll Discuss:

• The Power of Intention: How to intentionally express care, and also recognize your own capacity to give and receive it.
• Talisman Energy: What a talisman is and how everyday objects or moments can carry magic and serve as reminders of your higher resonance.
• Transmutation with Tiger's Eye: Why this powerful stone is a great tool for detoxing heavy energy and moving forward with courage and boldness.
• The Rainbow Warrior Archetype: Understanding the ancient, cross-cultural symbol of the Rainbow Warrior or Serpent, and how it's connected to uplifting consciousness, creation, and destruction cycles.
• Collective Responsibility: Why the changes you're going through are not just about you, but about anchoring new light into the collective consciousness.
• Reflection Questions: Consider what's coming into alignment for you, who has reflected your own light back to you, and how you can pay it forward today.

Tune in to learn how to embody the Rainbow Warrior and send the frequency of love, clarity, and courage out into the world.
