Our first ever LIVE podcast taping went down in Wichita and we had the best time!! It was so awesome to have listeners from all over Kansas join us and even cooler that some traveled from Texas, California, Oklahoma, Colorado, and West Virginia to be a part of this special evening! Amy is on a journey to really LIVE LIFE, to GET UNSTUCK, to MAKE A MOVE, and assess how she wants to SHOW UP in the world, so those are the 4 things she talked about:



LIVING LIFE: What does it look like to really live your life? (ft. Dierks Bentley’s thoughts on his song ‘Living’)



GETTING UNSTUCK with@KatDefatta: What have you not been able to admit to yourself? (ft.Walker Hayes’ thoughts on his song ‘Beer In The Fridge’)



MAKING A MOVE with@CristiDozier: What is the next right step for you? (ft. Nicolle Galyon’s thoughts on her song ‘Winner’)



SHOWING UP: How do you want to be remembered? (ft. Little Big Town’s thoughts on their song ‘Rich Man’)





Journaling has been a huge part of Amy’s healing the last couple of years, so we are very grateful to have writing prompts for each thing from writing expert & author, @AllyFallon



LIVING LIFE: Write a hypothetical journal entry for a day that you’re really living your life the way you want to live it. Example: What do you do on that day, who do you talk to, what do you not do, where are you, how do you feel about yourself, what decisions would you make, what conversation would you have? Take 5 minutes to imagine this day and write it as if it already happened.



GETTING UNSTUCK: What is keeping you stuck and what it might look like to let go of it?



MAKING A MOVE: Make a list of 10 things that would feel like winning to you even though it might look like losing to someone else?



SHOWING UP: Imagine this is your last day on earth - who do you want by your side - and what do you hope they remember about you?





Books have also been helpful during this time, so Amy put together book recommendations for each thing as well:



LIVING LIFE: Hero On A Mission by Donald Miller 



GETTING UNSTUCK: The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel A. van der Kolk



MAKING A MOVE: Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. 



SHOWING UP: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

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.
