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 with a sweet note from Kari, a listener sharing a unique discovery: a suction-cup window birdhouse that allows for a front-row seat to nature without disturbing the nest. She also shares one of her favorite takeaways from the podcast: "never suppressing a generous thought."

Amy then reminds us about the “Blessings Jar” that Kat gave her a few years ago! Such a good gift idea if you need something special for a friend. Speaking of friends, we need to be hanging out with our people more because a Geriatric Psychologist said this: “Stop waiting to feel social. You do not wait to feel inspired to brush your teeth. Socializing after 40 is no longer entertainment; it is Cognitive Maintenance. You must force interactions with the same cold discipline you use for a mortgage payment. If you do not pay the social rent, your reality eventually gets evicted." This leads to a conversation about @monthlymomsclub gatherings that Amy gets invited to—and how she NEEDS to start attending for “cognitive maintenance."

Tracy in Denver sent a voicemail sharing a transformative "mother-daughter" breakthrough that shifted their relationship from friction to connection: the simple act of asking, "Are you calling to vent, or are you calling for advice?" Amy and Kat discuss how this one question can save relationships, prevent "toe-stepping," and ensure everyone gets exactly what they need.

Socializing is No Longer Optional, The Question That Helps Relationships & More (Couch Talks)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/3e2f969f-8f94-470c-bede-b3f600ba0fac/transcript

Today’s episode is a survival guide for your body, your safety, and your peace of mind. Amy & Kat talk about how a simple 12-minute walk with a friend is the ultimate nervous system reset…but it’s not all sunshine and strolls. They share chilling tips from a former FBI agent on the 4 specific behaviors that make someone a target for kidnappers. If you’ve ever "politely" responded to a stranger or stuck to the same walking routine, you need to hear this.

Plus, we’re celebrating Kat’s anniversary! They break down the traditional gift themes thanks to the book Kat is reading: Rock, Paper, Scissors. Amy shares why women over 40 should be pounding the stairs (literally) for bone health, the hidden psychology of why voice memos are "time-hijacking" your friends, and finally, navigating the heavy mental load of the Epstein Files.

First up is an email from a husband, who’s on the other side of early therapy and discovering something not talked about enough: the guilt and regret that can show up after self-awareness. Amy and Kat talk through the emotional J-curve of growth, why feeling worse can actually mean you’re healing, and how to hold accountability without getting stuck in shame. The second email is from an empathetic mom navigating a high-conflict co-parenting situation and the fear of going back to court. She asks the question so many people silently carry: How do I stay steady when I cry under pressure? Kat gives tips on how to ground yourself when your nervous system wants to take over. Also, discussed in this episode is avoiding the feeling of anger, book recommendations (Theo of Golden) and more.
