Before they get to the listener question, Amy and Kat share their words of the year for 2026. Amy also randomly shares her desire to be a cowgirl, so maybe she’ll have more of those vibes this year as well. TBD. Today’s email is from an anonymous mom struggling to support her son’s love for being in band while her husband openly discourages it. Amy and Kat talk through parenting differences, protecting a child’s spark, and how to navigate these moments without creating deeper fractures in a marriage.

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.

Our Words of the Year + When Relationships Feel Divided (Couch Talks)

Amy and Kat are feeling motivated and introduce a simple but powerful way to declutter: give your stuff a performance review. Inspired by a tip from a Harvard professor, they talk about how we “hire” items to do a job and how freeing it can be to fire the things that no longer serve you.

They also break down the red flags that your house might have too much stuff, from constantly organizing without results to feeling anxious in your own space. Plus, a listener's voicemail proves that if we don’t clean out our homes as we age, we can end up with so much stuff that we won’t even recognize when our own things are being wrapped up and gifted back to us. Lol. 

P.S. Listen to Beth’s Dead if you haven’t already done so!

What Items in Your House Do You Need to Fire? A Performance Review for Your Stuff

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/766f3fca-fac5-4ee9-a744-b3c300cd0adf/transcript

Amy is very excited about what she gifted herself for Christmas. Speaking of gifts, she and Kat talk about being a saver or a user when it comes to receiving gifts and what that might say about how you grew up. They also dive into a listener email about a friend who leans on “boundaries” and “self-care” a little too much and how confusing that can be. Amy and Kat break down the difference between healthy boundaries and simply shutting people out.

Have the Christmas or Holiday you need to have!

Merry Christmas, Gift Psychology, and When Self-Care Turns Into Ghosting (Couch Talks)

Amy and Kat’s feelings of the day are all over the map: sentimental, scared, content, and confused…and they spend some time unpacking why. Part of that includes sharing their thoughts on Netflix’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning. They are blown away he was able to get away with all that he did and for so long. They also shift the energy and lighten things up by introducing a simple and helpful acronym that can make small talk feel way less awkward. It’s called the F.O.R.G.E. method…just something to keep in your back pocket especially if you’re attending Christmas parties!
