Feeling “blah”? You’re not alone. Good news, though? This episode is funny! Kat and Amy dive into everything from rage showers (yep, they’re real) to treadmill meltdowns and the odd debate of “zero” vs “oh” when saying numbers. But the real kicker: can swearing actually make you more authentic? Kat breaks down the surprising psychology behind profanity, and why dropping an f-bomb might say more about your honesty than your manners. It’s a messy and unexpectedly insightful ride through emotion, language, and laughter.

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’s algorithm exposed her to purity culture hot tubs with worship music…which led to Kat sharing her algorithm…it’s all pregnancy and baby stuff all the time (i.e. Kylie Jenner gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy.) Amy went over a list of insults so intelligent you don’t realize you’ve been roasted until a few thoughts later. Sam from Boston called in sharing her go-bag hack for contact lens wearers, and Heidi emailed giving us the full mineral sunscreen download after three years of family testing.

Purity Hot Tubs & Insults To Keep In Your Back Pocket (Couch Talks)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/552d452b-91f8-491c-9539-b4510033390f/transcript

Kat’s feeling excited and Amy’s feeling thankful! Amy also gets real about a candid confession from an ex who called her out for being on her phone too much during their relationship, which leads perfectly into the episode's first big topic.

They break down exactly what your "OK" texts say about you. Whether you're sending a firm "OK." with a period, a passive-aggressive thumbs up, or a flirty "OKAYYY," your texting habits reveal more than you think. That conversation opens the door to a fascinating new study on phubbing, the habit of ignoring the people in front of you in favor of your phone, and how putting your device down can actually make you more attractive, warmer, and more likable to the people around you.

On a lighter note, Amy and Kat make a case for bringing back the lost art of popping in on your friends, because sometimes the best hangs are the ones nobody planned. They also tease a potential vacation together and share a genius travel hack for scoring deeply discounted trips on reservations that other people had to give up.

And finally, a listener named Ashleigh from Georgia calls in with an important food safety PSA: those frozen peas you've been tossing straight into your seven-layer salad? Yeah, you need to cook them first. Consider yourselves warned.

Whitney writes in raving about Jones Road Beauty's Miracle Balm and What the Foundation. Amy shares she’s obsessing over her new face tanner, SaltyFace. Listener Corin shares a hilarious and heartwarming story about raising her daughters with open period conversations…including her 12-year-old's unforgettable suggestion to practice tampon use with a drilled watermelon. And Heather, calling in from Canada at 53, weighs in on a recent hot topic: naming your daughter after yourself. Then, Amy and Kat dive into Elizabeth Gilbert's (Eat, Pray, Love) fascinating "Hummingbird vs. Jackhammer" theory…are you someone who laser-focuses on one passion for life, or do you flit from interest to interest, collecting experiences along the way? Neither path is wrong, and the answer just might help you find exactly where you're supposed to be.
