We kick things off with an email from a husband who’s made it through the early stages of therapy and is facing something people rarely talk about: the guilt and regret that can come with new self-awareness. Amy and Kat walk through the emotional J-curve of growth, why feeling worse can actually be a sign you’re healing, and how to take responsibility without sinking into shame. Next up, a big-hearted mom dealing with a high-conflict co-parenting situation and the fear of heading back to court asks what so many of us quietly wonder: How do I stay composed when I tend to cry under pressure? Kat shares ways to ground yourself when your nervous system tries to take the wheel. Plus, we talk about avoiding anger, a book recommendation (Theo of Golden), and more.

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.
