We’re breaking down the 6 types of people quietly draining your energy: the Constant Critic, the Guilt Tripper, the Fake Supporter, and more. We also cover the "survival strategy" behaviors you didn't realize were trauma responses in disguise (over-apologizing, we're looking at you). Plus, we get into Enneagram Types 7, 8, and 9, unpack the very real "Crush Recession" hitting the dating world (53% of singles report burnout, and we have thoughts), and yes, we talk about the semen jewelry trend that is freaking us out. There's also a Honey-Do Hack, a Wait to Worry segment and Kat watched two documentaries on Netflix: Shipwrecked & Toxic Love Story.

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.

6 People Who Quietly Drain Your Energy, Over-Apologizing & Semen Jewelry (Yes, Really)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/bb7c9fdd-09d9-4a7e-b1e0-b494000b6950/transcript

This week we're tackling a listener question that's been on everyone's mind: is it okay to use AI as your therapist? We break down the real pros and cons, from accessibility to the risk of over-relying on something that can't read a room or hold real accountability.

Then we dig into a gut-wrenching anonymous voicemail from a mom navigating estrangement from one of her sons…we also talk about how social media algorithms may be quietly reinforcing family cutoffs once someone goes down that road.

We lighten things up with a listener's amazing story about her mom, a 1960s nursing student who was so determined to give birth without twilight sleep medication that she bit her lip through labor rather than make a sound, delivered 7 of her 9 kids naturally, and went on to become a Lamaze instructor.

Can You Date Someone You're Not Attracted To? Plus, an Incredible Healing Story (Couch Talks)

Amy is feeling happy (her testosterone pellet finally kicked in and she is feeling like a whole new person!) and Kat is feeling grateful but conflicted after having to tow cars from her therapy office parking lot. She felt disrespected but knew it had to be done. They get into how many unanswered texts is too many before a guy should give up, why you do not need more hobbies but just the right mix, and whether LinkedIn is the new dating app (a new survey found 1 in 8 people have started a romantic relationship through the platform). Plus, the viral fast food TikTok trend where your order is chosen for you, a rude neighbor email from Amy's past, and Amy finds old emails between her and her ex that have her laughing until she is crying.
