This week on Couch Talks, Amy and Kat respond to a listener’s voicemail calling out a controversial comment from our recent episode on breast cancer awareness. Amy talks about feeling misunderstood and why curiosity matters more than judgment (yes, Kat quotes Ted Lasso). They also talk about The Pitt possibly being a copy of ER (Kat cried, Amy didn’t), and unpack the idea that “great artists steal.” It’s messy, open-hearted, and all about growing through discomfort.

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.

A listener is dreading her annual friends trip with former coworkers and wants to know if it's okay to just stop going. Amy & Kat weigh in. Then, two emails about ADHD bring on a bigger conversation…Katelyn was diagnosed after becoming a mom and wants to hear more about how Amy & Kat navigate ADHD and motherhood, and Sawyer is trying to support her brother Cedar who was just diagnosed at 41 and is grieving the years he didn't know. Amy shares resources including a book by Kim and Penn Holderness that makes ADHD actually digestible. Plus, Jen from Houston calls in with a “salt tip” for Amy and her experience with Twilight births.

Amy is feeling frustrated and Kat is feeling exhausted, but they show up….so yay! First up, Michelle from Florida keeps a list in her phone of everyone she's feuding with and caps it at 10 people. Kat weighs in on whether that's actually unhealthy or more nuanced than it sounds. Then, Sam from Boston calls with a story about her mom's blind date that took a wild turn when her date showed up just to say his dad died and he had to leave, and they've now been happily married for 13 years. Amy then shares her one and only true blind date story and how that ended up! Amy & Kat also cover the top 20 most common lies we all tell, the real reason you shouldn't be on your phone at the gas pump, and a powerful voicemail from Brittany, who chose to respond with grace instead of anger when dealing with a toxic situation with her mom.

The Most Common Lies We Tell, A Wild Blind Date Story & More

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/82fe44a9-c1d2-4af1-a164-b4870011d73f/transcript

A listener wants to know how to truly forget a wrong that was done to them, not just forgive, but actually move on. Amy & Kat dig into what forgiveness really means and why "forgive and forget" might be setting us up for the wrong expectation. Then, a heartbreaking email from Alixe in DC who has been seeing the same therapist for nearly six years, lost her grandmother unexpectedly, and her therapist simply stopped responding. Her cat has since been diagnosed with cancer and she is left wondering whether to reach out one more time or start over entirely. Amy & Kat weigh in, and Kat offers her perspective as a therapist. Plus, a wedding email that ended up in the wrong inbox…Congratulations Jessica and Mark!
