Amy Adams

What if your biggest health problem… isn’t food—but what you’re feeding your mind? In this episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex sits down with Amy Adams to unpack the concept of “digital sugar”—the constant overstimulation from social media that’s quietly shaping your attention, your habits, and even your relationship with God. Most people know how to avoid junk food. Few know how to avoid junk input. And the cost is deeper than distraction—it’s disconnection. In this conversation, you’ll learn: -Why social media acts like “sugar for your soul” -How overstimulation rewires your brain and drains your purpose -The hidden link between dopamine, attention, and spiritual dryness -How to break free from the approval trap in fitness and life -The difference between stewardship vs. weight loss goals -Why most people fail (and how lead vs. lag goals change everything) -A practical framework to reconnect your body, mind, and spirit daily Amy also shares her personal journey from obsession and neglect to consistent, faith-driven stewardship—and how stepping away from social media transformed her life in just weeks. This isn’t about quitting technology. It’s about reclaiming your attention—and giving it back to God. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Why This Conversation Matters 01:00 – What Is “Digital Sugar”? 03:30 – How Social Media Drains Your Soul 06:30 – Dopamine, Cravings, and Why You Can’t Stop Scrolling 09:30 – Why You Still Feel Empty After Consuming Content 12:00 – The “Broccoli vs Junk Food” Spiritual Problem 15:00 – How Long It Takes to Detox Your Mind 18:00 – Head vs Heart: Why Most People Feel Disconnected 20:30 – Emotional Movement Practice (Practical Tool) 25:00 – Naming Emotions + Confronting Lies with Truth 28:00 – The Approval Trap (And How It Shows Up in Fitness) 32:00 – Obsession vs Neglect: The Cycle Most People Live In 36:00 – Identity vs Approval (The Gospel Answer) 40:00 – Stewardship vs Weight Loss 43:00 – Lead Goals vs Lag Goals (Why You Keep Failing) 47:00 – Daily Framework for Consistency (HMS System) 52:00 – Why Grit Is the Missing Discipline 56:00 – How to Get Connected with Amy 58:30 – Prayer + Closing 🎯 Calls To Action 👉 Start your 40-day transformation: Faithful Fitness Devotional https://faithfulfitnessdevo.com 👉 Join the Faithful Fitness community: https://faithfulfitness.co 👉 Build your routine, track your growth, and stay accountable: Download the Faithful Fitness App 👉 Connect with Amy Adams and explore her work: https://purposelydesigned.org Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support .

Episode Summary: In this episode of the #SiblingsToo Podcast, host Nancy Morris talks with Dr. Peter Yates and Amy Adams about their scoping review on sibling sexual abuse (SSA), a critical step in consolidating fragmented research on this under-explored issue. By mapping the current knowledge base, their work identifies gaps in research, clarifies definitions, and lays the groundwork for improved understanding and future studies, making it an invaluable resource for addressing SSA more effectively. Dr. Yates and Amy Adams discuss the complexities of defining SSA, revealing 27 different definitions in the literature and stressing the importance of clear, consistent language to avoid stigma and misinterpretation. They also examine prevalence rates, with adult disclosures ranging from 1.6% to 7%, highlighting the urgent need for increased societal awareness and targeted research. The conversation underscores the limitations of existing studies and calls for more rigorous approaches to fully understand SSA's onset, patterns, and long-term impacts. About the Guest(s): Dr. Peter Yates: Dr. Peter Yates is a lecturer in social work at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland. With a background in working in a specialist service assisting children and young people exhibiting harmful sexual behavior, Dr. Yates has dedicated his research to studying sibling sexual abuse, primarily focusing on cases involving boys abusing their siblings. Amy Adams: Amy Adams is a doctoral researcher at the University of Birmingham, centered on family and sibling dynamics. Her current research delves into the relationships between siblings where one child has caused harm and another has been harmed, providing insight into the complex dynamics within such families. Key Takeaways: Definition Complexity: The myriad definitions of sibling sexual abuse contribute to challenges in research and interventions, highlighting the need for a universal understanding to improve clarity and response. Prevalence Insights: Existing research reveals significant rates of SSA disclosure in adulthood, underscoring the need for societal acknowledgment and systemic approaches to dealing with such cases. Family Dynamics: The conversation delves into the factors correlating with SSA, emphasizing that it transcends socio-economic boundaries and often correlates with wider family disruptions. Need for Comprehensive Research: The episode stresses the importance of conducting more in-depth studies, including longitudinal research to establish causal pathways and effective interventions. Education and Intervention: Dr. Yates and Adams advocate for educational efforts starting early in childhood to prevent SSA, aiming for holistic family interventions tailored to support every family member affected by SSA. Notable Quotes: "Because it's such a difficult concept to pin down… what we don't want to be doing is stigmatizing children and children's sexual behaviors unnecessarily." - Dr. Peter Yates "In terms of disclosure, most disclosures come in adulthood, not from children at the time of the incident." - Amy Adams "The idea that some people can touch children's bodies… can include and name specifically brothers and sisters." - Dr. Peter Yates "Sibling sexual abuse can take place in any families from across the socio-economic spectrum." - Dr. Peter Yates "We need
