Speaker 1: The best bits of the week with Morgan. It's listener
Speaker 1: Q and daytime. We're Morgan in a show member answer
Speaker 1: almost all your questions. Here we are.
Speaker 2: We've made it over into a part three listener question
Speaker 2: and we answer time. So we're gonna do something fun here.
Speaker 2: Because Eddie kind of started this. He wanted to choose
Speaker 2: his questions.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do some shout outs that I have written down,
Speaker 2: but you get to look through and decide what we're
Speaker 2: gonna answer.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna choose.
Speaker 2: Like three in the beginning, three in the second half,
Speaker 2: unless you we go along in some of them. But
Speaker 2: the shout outs to start, I'm really enjoying the Feeling
Speaker 2: Things podcast with Amy. Amy's skin care routine is fire,
Speaker 2: her skin looks amazing.
Speaker 1: Barbara in Kentucky.
Speaker 2: So those are some shout outs to start get us
Speaker 2: feeling good.
Speaker 1: Now Amy gets to decide, Okay, question.
Speaker 3: The very first one at the top, is she going
Speaker 3: to take a trip to Paris? I hope she does?
Speaker 3: And that's from Morgan and Louisiana and I.
Speaker 1: I so hope.
Speaker 3: So Morgan, I'm manifesting it. This Morgan here got me
Speaker 3: a little Paris book and a scarf to help me
Speaker 3: manifest the trip. And I, you know, I can't say
Speaker 3: for certain it's going to happen this summer, but potentially
Speaker 3: we have two vacation times this summer through the show,
Speaker 3: and maybe one of them will be to Paris.
Speaker 1: I just think you can talk your sister into doing
Speaker 1: it with you.
Speaker 3: It's just our schedules lining up is so difficult. Yes,
Speaker 3: I think I could. She just was in Paris last year,
Speaker 3: so that might be another thing of like, oh and
Speaker 3: between her businesses and her four kids and our schedules.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I have thought a lot lately
Speaker 3: about going alone and not even worrying about if anybody
Speaker 3: else can go, like intentionally going alone, because people say
Speaker 3: that that's awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see, okay, TVD I am. I'm really
Speaker 2: trying to manifest this for her. So hopefully this year
Speaker 2: will be Amy in Paris.
Speaker 3: Barbie and Kentucky. Would Amy ever like to or consider
Speaker 3: getting married again? Yeah, I'd consider it. I like too.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that looks like obviously, but I
Speaker 3: am definitely open to it.
Speaker 1: I would like to. I think we've talked about that before.
Speaker 2: Too. I think you've you've really been open to the
Speaker 2: idea for a long time.
Speaker 3: So, speaking of relationships TP from VA. So maybe Terry
Speaker 3: Terry Bucker from Virginia. Bucker is asking any chance of
Speaker 3: Amy and Alex getting back together? I like happy endings,
Speaker 3: there could.
Speaker 1: Be tbd TP from VA. That was quite the t Well.
Speaker 3: I don't. I mean, I'm just saying I'm not I'm
Speaker 3: open to everything and anything like I'm not again, especially
Speaker 3: because it was such a healthy ending. I think we
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was that we needed a break.
Speaker 3: I don't know. We have held so many variables in
Speaker 3: our lives.
Speaker 1: That who knows, who knows?
Speaker 3: Yes, Like maybe it's just like not like a time thing.
Speaker 3: And I think we're both okay with where we are.
Speaker 3: Things are just so amicable. I don't know. Uh, can
Speaker 3: you talk about how life has improved since we're covering
Speaker 3: from an Ed Bailey in Oklahoma? Well, it improves a lot. However,
Speaker 3: I know how difficult it is to come out from
Speaker 3: an eating disorder. What you do have to look forward to,
Speaker 3: whether it's Bailey specifically or you're asking for someone in
Speaker 3: your life, is such a freedom that I can't describe. Uh,
Speaker 3: it's like the thoughts are have held you captive for
Speaker 3: so long. It's like, you know, the jackals have been
Speaker 3: removed because it's something that stunts you and consumes you,
Speaker 3: so you can't enjoy other areas in life when you're
Speaker 3: constantly thinking about what your workout's going to be, or
Speaker 3: what you've eaten or what you haven't eaten, and if
Speaker 3: you're restricting and then bingji, I mean, it's just a
Speaker 3: constant cycle of like, oh, then the dieting begins tomorrow,
Speaker 3: and it's exhausting. So when you can finally get a
Speaker 3: handle on those thoughts and they become less and less
Speaker 3: and less your brain space you have more capacity for
Speaker 3: things that bring you joy and speaking of meals with
Speaker 3: friends or family, like, you get to actually enjoy that
Speaker 3: instead of internally stressing about the entire situation.
Speaker 1: It does take a lot of work.
Speaker 3: I'm not minimizing what goes into that type of freedom,
Speaker 3: but life has improved significantly, drastically, dramatically. I don't know
Speaker 3: what are their words I can use, but yeah, it's
Speaker 3: it is worth the fight. If you can put in
Speaker 3: the work and fight through it, it's worth the fight.
Speaker 3: And there will still be lingering thoughts or moments or
Speaker 3: seasons of I don't know that it just fully goes away,
Speaker 3: ever fully, fully fully, but I would consider myself in
Speaker 3: active recovery and experiencing a freedom that I never thought
Speaker 3: was possible, Like for decades that I just thought, well,
Speaker 3: my brain is just this way, and I'm like the
Speaker 3: only one having these thoughts and this is the way
Speaker 3: my life's going to be.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and that's what I was going to ask.
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong. It's never something that you're
Speaker 2: it's completely gone. No, that's why it's called recovery. You're
Speaker 2: in recovery. You're not recovered, I think. And that's I
Speaker 2: mean for people that have an addiction to other things.
Speaker 2: I mean I've alcohol or and they're sober, they're in
Speaker 2: recovery knowing that every day's a gift. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: a total I mean, they're two different categories, but there
Speaker 2: are some similarities of like then you have this new
Speaker 2: appreciation for life because you're seeing it through a different lens. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So when you're sober from alcohol, you feel that way,
Speaker 2: and it's not that you're sober from food, Like we
Speaker 2: need food to survive. That was always What was so
Speaker 2: tricky is someone in your life might be addicted to
Speaker 2: drugs or an alcoholic, and they can remove that from
Speaker 2: their lives and their life will get better. You still
Speaker 2: have to think about food and working out because those
Speaker 2: things actually contribute to you living healthy life. But when
Speaker 2: you've had an unhealthy relationship with food and an unhealthy
Speaker 2: relationship with working out, it's.
Speaker 1: Like, well, what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 3: Because like you just like eliminate something for my life
Speaker 3: and not ever have it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a double edged word.
Speaker 2: You're you're fighting two battlefronts instead of just the one.
Speaker 2: So that's a really good point for a lot of
Speaker 2: people that are out there probably struggling with that.
Speaker 1: Okay, do one more and then we're going to take
Speaker 1: a break.
Speaker 3: How do if someone said, how do I attract fun
Speaker 3: birds to my birdhouse? I only get pigeons and miners.
Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, pigeons are awesome. Everybody's a hater
Speaker 2: of pigeons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can be a little annoying, but they're cute.
Speaker 3: I think they're cute. But they can be annoying, but
Speaker 3: they probably maybe they want to just see more varieties.
Speaker 1: Because they want to you.
Speaker 3: If you only got pigeons, you might be like, oh,
Speaker 3: I want to see but this person is listening in
Speaker 3: Australia though, So I have no idea. I don't even
Speaker 3: know what a miner is, and I don't know what
Speaker 3: other birds you could get, but let's see what is
Speaker 3: a miner searching up food, like doing research of food
Speaker 3: that is going to attract particular birds in your area,
Speaker 3: or getting bird calls like these little whistles you can get,
Speaker 3: but get specific ones that birds are of a bird
Speaker 3: that's actually in your area that you want to call.
Speaker 3: And Lunchbox got me a gift one year and this
Speaker 3: was something that was on shark Tank, So just google
Speaker 3: birds seed chark Tank and it'll probably come up because
Speaker 3: I don't remember the name of the company. But he
Speaker 3: got stuff specifically for my area, like my zip code.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if the shark take thing is
Speaker 3: a global situation, but they may have a special Australian brand. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: I mean, but if they have a mix for that region,
Speaker 3: I bet they would. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Birds are everywhere and a minor looks like our regular
Speaker 2: birds here, so okay, that's probably what they're referring to.
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
Speaker 2: right back, all right. So we got some more questions here,
Speaker 2: Amy Howe is botox free going? I'm pregnant, so I'm
Speaker 2: also on my natural journey.
Speaker 3: Uh oh, I did get I don't know what it's called,
Speaker 3: but in December I got Hm it's like a Korean botox,
Speaker 3: but I haven't had I got it. What's it April now?
Speaker 3: So I got it in December and I'm kind of
Speaker 3: I really liked it.
Speaker 1: So wait, so is it still a regular botox injection
Speaker 1: or is it different?
Speaker 3: Well, it's not botox. Botox is a is a brand,
Speaker 3: it's a type. So this is some Korean It's supposed
Speaker 3: to be similar. So I did go a year or
Speaker 3: more without botox botox as was lasering off my brows.
Speaker 3: But then and I it's holding up in my forehead
Speaker 3: a little bit, but around my crow's feet it's already gone.
Speaker 3: But I'm not I mean, I may go back and
Speaker 3: get more, but I'm not sure yet.
Speaker 1: I think that.
Speaker 3: Uh my, well, I guess I can talk about this
Speaker 3: because Kat has but she's pregnant. My friend Kat, she
Speaker 3: but she stopped getting botox before her pregnancy, so she
Speaker 3: already went through the acceptance of what that was like,
Speaker 3: you know, just it's more so just getting used to
Speaker 3: your face again. And I think once you would get
Speaker 3: comfortable with that, then it's okay. So she went into
Speaker 3: it before her pregnancy and so now, but I would
Speaker 3: imagine had she stopped, and then she's all hormonal and
Speaker 3: then she's dealing with that at the same time, and
Speaker 3: then other pregnancy things, which she opened up on our
Speaker 3: podcast talking about some of the things people don't talk about.
Speaker 3: And she's a therapist that specializes in body image, and
Speaker 3: she's like, I am really struggling with how quickly and
Speaker 3: rapidly my body is changing and it's very hard and
Speaker 3: I don't I'm not comfortable, my clothes are not fitting.
Speaker 3: I'm gaining more weight than other girls that I'm seeing
Speaker 3: online that you have these cute little bumps, And she's like,
Speaker 3: I don't even look pregnant. I just look like I'm
Speaker 3: gaining weight. And she's like, and it's really hard, and
Speaker 3: so she wanted to put that out there because she's like,
Speaker 3: I don't really feel like I hear people talking about
Speaker 3: this and it sucks no.
Speaker 2: Because everybody talks about the joy and your glow up
Speaker 2: that you're having when you get pregnant.
Speaker 1: It's like you're glowing now, And she wouldn't. She was like,
Speaker 1: I'm also happy.
Speaker 3: This is like a yes and it's not a butt
Speaker 3: like She's like, I would not change a thing. And
Speaker 3: I'm just not one of those girls online like oh
Speaker 3: look at my cute little bump, you know. And she's like,
Speaker 3: and it sucks and it's hard. So I think if
Speaker 3: she was processing also like and I can't give up boatoks,
Speaker 3: but she had already gotten used to that and had
Speaker 3: that acceptance and we can all have tools, like we
Speaker 3: have wrinkles because we're getting older. I was annoyed the
Speaker 3: other day because I felt so super pale and the
Speaker 3: sun's coming out now and I'm wearing shorts for the
Speaker 3: first time, and I was annoyed because I didn't it
Speaker 3: was too lazy and I didn't want to put myself
Speaker 3: tainer on. And I was texting with Cat about it,
Speaker 3: and I was like, but you know what, also like
Speaker 3: it is what it is, like I'm white, like and
Speaker 3: that's it may sound weird, but that's a simple tool
Speaker 3: and your toolbox of like, oh, also it's okay to
Speaker 3: have wrinkles, Like it's it's okay to be your age.
Speaker 1: It's also okay to get botox.
Speaker 3: It's also okay to try whatever Korean thing I tried
Speaker 3: that I injected that's similar to botox. I just don't
Speaker 3: know the exact name because there's like disport, there's botox,
Speaker 3: and then whatever this is. Uh, And you know, I
Speaker 3: think it's okay to do either. And the life you're
Speaker 3: growing is far more important than the botox, so you'll adjust.
Speaker 2: It's funny you say that about the realization, like, oh yeah, whit.
Speaker 2: I like, there's a lot of things that I won't
Speaker 2: wear unless I have a spray tan on, Like I
Speaker 2: have specific clothes that I will not wear if I
Speaker 2: do not have Ye.
Speaker 3: I know I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2: I feel so uncomfortable being so fair skinned. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: why I don't know. I'm the same way.
Speaker 3: I don't And you know, you see those videos all
Speaker 3: the time like, oh I thought I was depressed and
Speaker 3: then I just went got a spray tan. I'm fine. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm totally fine.
Speaker 2: It changes everything everything, and it bothers.
Speaker 1: Me that it changes that much for me, Like it
Speaker 1: showed uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: That's how psychological the whole thing is. So if we
Speaker 3: had somehow been conditioned to think that our pale skin
Speaker 3: was beautiful, or all of us just accepting our skin
Speaker 3: for the way that it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they haven't, so real I completely understand.
Speaker 1: That's why. Also I'm not fan of summer. I don't
Speaker 1: like wearing dresses unless I have a spray tan. And
Speaker 1: it's a lot of efforts.
Speaker 3: So you know what I realize about us and our
Speaker 3: insecurities and things that we want to do to alter
Speaker 3: our you know selves in any way, whether it's a
Speaker 3: spray tan or botox or whatever.
Speaker 1: Some people like you would.
Speaker 3: Probably wear one of your non tan outfits and I'd
Speaker 3: be like, oh, Morgan, looks cute, right, I'm not thinking
Speaker 3: anything about it. I have another friend who hasn't been
Speaker 3: getting botox, and I mean it's been a minute, like
Speaker 3: and I feel like she looks the same, but she
Speaker 3: doesn't see that, and I'm like, you look the same.
Speaker 3: I just wish we could see ourselves how other people
Speaker 3: see us.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's just a good reminder. We have our own
Speaker 1: filters of ourselves like we should be.
Speaker 2: And it's funny. My fiance literally said this. He's like,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't say that to one of your friend Why
Speaker 2: are you saying that to yourself? And I'm like, you're right,
Speaker 2: but I can't help it. So here I am. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's end on a really fun one. What is she
Speaker 2: most proud of? This is from Sierra in New York.
Speaker 3: Gosh, my kids. Right now, my daughter's finished with high
Speaker 3: school pretty much. I mean, it's almost done, and we've
Speaker 3: got a sneak peek at her grades and she made
Speaker 3: all as except for one class if that's not for
Speaker 3: me to share, which I mean, that's up to her.
Speaker 3: But I'm just so proud of her grades and her
Speaker 3: finishing high school and figuring out what's next for her.
Speaker 3: And then my son's also doing well in school, and
Speaker 3: they both have a good reputation with the school staff,
Speaker 3: I guess, And I don't mean, I don't think they're
Speaker 3: lying when they talk about how they interact with people
Speaker 3: at school, and that just warms my heart. And then
Speaker 3: Stevenson's killing it at track. So right now it's just them,
Speaker 3: and I mean, I can't take any credit for I'm
Speaker 3: proud of them, so I don't know if that somehow
Speaker 3: I'm proud of myself for supporting them in the ways
Speaker 3: that I could to get them to wear they are.
Speaker 3: But it's all them. But it's cool to see them
Speaker 3: flourishing in their own little ways.
Speaker 1: Well, you did have a role in that.
Speaker 2: You are their mom, so yeah, it was definitely just
Speaker 2: them that you did play a part in all of that,
Speaker 2: and I think the stability and consistency that you provide
Speaker 2: them is a big part of that. And to be
Speaker 2: where they are now, so it's probably cool to look
Speaker 2: back on just where they started to where they are now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but also a little bit emotional as they are starting
Speaker 2: to grow up and become their own, full fledged human
Speaker 2: beings and go out into the world.
Speaker 3: I know it's kind of crazy.
