Talking Sh*t About People Limits YOU

Episode 23 - 04/08/26

Integrity is not just about showing up on time or doing what you said you would do. It goes deeper than that.

In this episode of Welcome to Your B-Side, Dr. Amy Lindsey breaks down why integrity – real integrity, through and through to the bone – is directly connected to your health. When you are out of integrity, there is a current of stress running beneath the surface of your life that your body, mind, and spirit are absorbing. And most people never connect the two.

Dr. Amy starts with a conversation at a French nail salon, moves through a discussion about judgment, gossip, and what it actually costs you to limit other people, and lands on something bigger: you do not get to go after your wildest dreams and the life you want while simultaneously boxing other people in and taking advantage of them. That is not integrity. And it will cost you.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why integrity goes far deeper than being on time or keeping your word, and what it actually means for your health

  • How being out of integrity creates a hidden current of stress that impacts your physical, mental, and spiritual health

  • Why limiting and judging other people is the same as limiting yourself, and how that connects to your confidence and your dreams

  • What it looks like to love a culture while betraying the people who created it, and why that does not have integrity

  • Practical things you can do right now to live with more integrity toward other people and yourself
