Today’s quote: “Therapy should have open houses like elementary school so my therapist can meet everyone I talk about” - @steadfastcounseling 



Inspired by Annie Downs, “That Sounds Fun”, Amy & Kat talk about making a list of things that sound fun to you during the stressful holiday season (rather than just focusing on the things that sound like a drag on your to do list). Ideas include:


Grabbing your favorite coffee drink
Baking chocolate chip cookies
Hiking in the woods 
Reading a good book
Singing carpool karaoke 
Have a game night
Curling up by a fire
Learning something new 



What sounds fun to you?? Make a list! 



Amy & Kat have fun playing The Toast’s “When You Know The Words To The Song” Game 



Other topics discussed:
Cooking for the holidays (links to Amy’s fav recipes below!)
Apple TV’s “Lessons in Chemistry” (spoiler alert!) and other shows that remind us of the double standards women used to face
Do you feel stressed when trying to verify you're not a robot?? 
Amy’s picture frame TV doesn’t actually have a frame…
Amy bought Kat something inappropriate for her Bachelorette party on Etsy 
PTL = Praise the Lord 



Amy’s Recipes: 

Alabama Mac & Cheese

Cinnamon Rolls & Sausage Gravy

Sweet & Salty Grilled Cheese



Bonus quotes: 
“The future is going to be crazy” 
“Today I completed a chore that I’ve been putting off for 6 months. It took 15 minutes. I will learn nothing from this” 
“I love the concept of being somebody’s peace, but unfortunately I’m insane”

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.
