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 and Kat open the inbox!! One listener explains how she and her husband protected Christmas morning for their family, and the fun tradition of turning the Christmas tree into a New Year’s tree. A mom of two, now pregnant with her third, shares her sunny-side-up birth story and encourages Kat as a new mom. Another listener, inspired by Amy’s hormone journey, asks what kind of doctor to look for. And a mom whose son was born nine weeks early with a heart defect opens up about the heavy feelings after birth, the guilt that followed, and why the postpartum version of you deserves grace.

Holiday Boundaries, Postpartum Guilt & Hormone Help (Couch Talks)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/e5c0bc8b-e487-4208-a944-b500000f6219/transcript

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

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.
