Feeling of the day: Relieved (from Kat!) and Amy’s asking the question: does the process know that we are trusting it? They share 3 ways that will help you “trust the process” when things seem overwhelming. This isn’t about blind optimism or pretending things are fine. It’s about staying in motion, borrowing hope when yours runs low, and taking the next right step even when clarity hasn’t arrived yet. Plus, a listener email that clears up an Emily Henry book question Amy had last week and also shares other authors & books we might like.

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.

Does the Process Know We’re Trusting It? (3 Things That’ll Help You Keep Going)

A listener had a mortifying public moment...and somehow ended up on a date because of it. You'll have to hear the full story to believe it. It’s so crazy and we’d feel so embarrassed, but also grateful?? Haha. 

We hear from a caller who confesses she pre-cleans her house before the cleaners arrive, and yes, you are not alone if you do this too. A listener encourages Amy to cut her hair, plus we answer a question that was asked by many: what is a drink dropper?! 

We also get into a tricky question from a listener who works as an overnight cleaner: she found something disturbing left behind by a group of teens at a school she cleans, and now feels strangely embarrassed to even report it to her male supervisor. We try to unpack where that shame is coming from.

Your Worst Day Might Be a Setup for Something Good (Couch Talks)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/45644c56-304b-4126-a692-b4ab015caf92/transcript

Amy’s gushing about a book that might be the best read of the year, no spoilers, just pure obsession. Then we dig into some research-backed data on family dinners and why something as simple as eating together regularly can lower kids' aggression, reduce disordered eating, and even boost grades and self-esteem.

We also get into a genuinely useful parenting hack for avoiding yes/no questions that invite pushback (and yes, we tested if it works on spouses too), plus Quiet Hours at Sephora, a sensory-friendly shopping option way more people than you'd expect could benefit from.

And we share an incredibly moving email from a listener nominating her local teacher, whose classroom was damaged in recent flooding but who's kept showing up for her students anyway. We're kicking off something special with Hasbro over the next several weeks to help honor her and teachers like her.

Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again.

Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one? Email heythere@feelingthingspodcast.com or call 877-207-2077, they could get featured on the show, plus a $500 Walmart gift card from Hasbro for classroom supplies.

Grab your favorite Hasbro games like Hungry Hungry Hippos, Connect 4, Trouble, & more at Walmart.com!

New Favorite Book of the Year + A Habit That Could Change Your Kid's Future

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/004a10ea-8cc9-48f2-a6c3-b4a20185721f/transcript

Why does relaxing feel so hard? Why does sitting on the couch for 20 minutes feel like a moral failure? We break down the guilt of "unfinished" downtime, the pressure to turn every hobby into a side hustle, and why rest isn't something you have to earn. Plus, a listener question on feeling worthy that isn't tied to what you can do for others.

We also share some workout recs that came in for Amy's weightlifting journey, plus a voicemail from a listener who wants Kat to know just how powerful (and even euphoric) an unmedicated birth experience can be, straight from someone who's done it twice.
