Feeling Things with Amy & Kat is a podcast for anyone who’s ever had feelings—or wants to. Hosted by Amy Brown and therapist Kat Van Buren, this is a space where nothing is off-limits. From deep reflections on childhood to pop culture obsessions to what’s happening in the world, all feelings deserve a seat at the table—big, small, awkward, joyful, confusing, and everything in between. At its core, it’s real friends having real conversations about real feelings. Some episodes go deep, some stay light, but all are rooted in curiosity, honesty, and connection. In a world that moves fast, sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause... and feel things.

Amy is feeling proud and excited, while Kat is just plain grateful. After their feelings of the day, Amy shares a wild follow-up: when Kat’s near-abduction story aired on the Bobby Bones Show, a listener called in to say the exact same parking-lot scheme happened to her days later. Amy questions whether Mercury in retrograde is real after she and Kat had completely opposite days, and they go through common thoughts that feel helpful but might be overthinking in disguise. Plus, a listener’s tip for running a book club, a check-in on this month’s read, a book recommendation for expecting moms, and the signs you own too much stuff and it’s time to declutter.

Parking Lot Scams, Mercury in Retrograde & Overthinking

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/defeebc4-4196-41fc-81eb-b4fe008fa2ff/transcript

Hello, Feeling Things Listeners! We want to share a new show you might enjoy, it’s My Brother David!!!

About the Show: David is 48 and lives in Toronto with his wife, two kids, and two dogs. He is a small business owner, the father of two, a second degree black belt in Hapkido, has never listened to a podcast and is dying of pancreatic cancer.

His little sister Sarah is 37 and lives in Chicago with her husband, three kids, and cat. She is an artist, educator, activist, grief worker, trauma informed practitioner, avid podcast listener and desperate to be of some use to her big brother.

David is in pain, on drugs, and doesn’t know what to do with his time. Sarah suggests he listens to podcasts. David suggests (then insists) they make one.  

And so begins Sarah and David’s hilarious, irreverent and unflinching journey to follow the ups and downs of David’s disease. How long does David have left? Does Sarah’s background with grief work help at all when grief hits so close to home? What are protein numbers? How does one use a microphone? Is the minimum wage too low or too high? Will the Blue Jays ever win the World Series? Is that gas or diarrhea? What does life look like when you know you’re going to die?

As Sarah grapples with the challenges of her own grief, her relationship with her brother, and how to make a podcast, David’s no-holds-barred personality illuminates how to look death squarely in the face. 

Listen here and subscribe to My Brother David on the iHeartRadio App or wherever you get your podcasts!

Introducing: My Brother David

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/3488dec0-161d-4c4d-9027-b4f901869b47/transcript

A friend starts telling you a story you’ve already heard, and it’s a long one. Do you speak up, or smile and let her finish? Amy and Kat debate what to do in that awkward moment, then share a simple gossip check-in Amy did with her son, Stevenson. Is what you’re about to say true, kind, and necessary? Turns out the guide might be even more helpful for adults.

Plus, a little dating life talk, your sweet feedback on the episodes with Chase, a quick newsletter update for those who’ve been missing it, and a voicemail from a listener in corporate sales who pushes back on our over-apologizing episode. Her take? Authority plus humility equals strength, and sometimes a simple “I’m sorry” means more than a “thank you.”

Here is the EXACT Gossip Check-In That Amy Did With Stevenson:

→ Is what I’m about to say true, kind, and necessary?

→ Why am I sharing this? Am I trying to feel connected, fit in, or get a reaction?

→ How would I feel if it were about me? Would I want someone else to say this about me?

→ Is this getting someone help? If someone is unsafe, tell a trusted adult instead of gossiping.

→ Am I sharing to entertain or judge? If to make someone look bad or get attention, it’s gossip.

 

Have a question for us? Send it our way and we might answer it on the show!
