Amy has a goal of creating a home that is full of people & connection...where kids & friends always feel welcome. Her niece, Adelyn, joins her for this chat...sharing her experience growing up in a home that was the 'hangout house' and how her parents are very intentional about cultivating a home that is inviting...where people/teens/friends/family feel welcome even when things aren't perfect! 



Key Takeaways:

- Listen to Crowded Table by The Highwomen.

- Don't overthink it.

- Relax about stuff that doesn't matter in the big picture.

- Always have a few extra stools to add to the table.

- Be involved, curious, ask questions.

- Serving both sides of the counter!

- Root For Each Other (shout out Root House!)

- No matter what, be welcoming. 

- Offer rides.

- Let them make the dang 'smash cake.' 

- Have food on hand and a place where people feel like they can hang out....and it doesn't have to be fancy...HELLO CHEESE TOAST! 

- Think: sausage on the grill, queso in a crock pot & pre-made cookie dough in the oven with a game of corn-hole and everyone around the fire pit. Keep it simple.

- 4 Things Gratitude.



Adelyn is staying with Amy over the summer to complete an internship for her business degree at CU Boulder, so she'll actually be doing 4 episodes with Amy over the month of June talking about various topics! This is episode 1 of 4. Hope you enjoy it!! Adelyn is trying to get Amy to talk about dating for next week's episode! TBD.

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.
