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.

Same Problem, Different Focus, Better Feeling (Couch Talks)

Amy and Kat answer a listener’s detailed questions about Amy’s laundry routine. Riveting stuff, we know! Lol. It is helpful though if you’re in the process of changing up your routine and you don’t know where to start or how to even use dryer balls! The conversation then shifts into something deeper with a listener's call about fear, retaliation, and why standing up for yourself matters. Another listener wrote in to ask about what Amy watched recently about what happens with the brain on alcohol and sadly Amy can’t find the link, which is frustrating, but maybe one day she will get it.

Let’s Talk Laundry, Fear & Using Your Voice (Couch Talks)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/6f6f71b8-11d1-47a0-9d8e-b3d30037414a/transcript

Amy and Kat are feeling excited and they have both been bitten by the ‘Courtney Cooks’ bug (like Weetabix dipped in chocolate and sweet potatoes with cheese). They break down why viral sensation Courtney Cook Bales has the internet hooked on her unconventional lunches and ponder why her content feels so safe and soothing. Amy also shares a recent book-and-movie spiral sparked by People We Meet on Vacation (the new Netflix movie). After watching the movie, she ordered 4 of Emily Henry’s books and cannot wait for them to arrive! This episode weaves in pop culture, parasocial emails, and a powerful reminder of perspective from Human School Official on IG.

What We Can’t Stop Watching, Reading & Eating (From Viral Lunches to Comfort Reads)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/2520d931-2b92-4d0a-b7f1-b3d1007efc89/transcript

Amy and Kat kick things off with a voicemail from Julia in Wisconsin. She shares that “fire” is her word for 2026, from firing what’s not serving her to doing “fire girl walks” and leaning into her style with some “fire fits.” This leads to Amy sharing her exhaustion around “in and out” lists on social media, especially when it comes to certain fashion things and home decor. The overconsumption is real right now!! Ashley, a listener from Arizona, sent an email with encouragement for Amy’s possible cowgirl era. She tells Amy what that lifestyle really looks like and why it aligns with Amy’s word of the year, which is less. Speaking of that lifestyle, Amy talks about her uncle managing George Strait’s ranch for many years and how her brother wrote a song about his retirement. 

Here’s the fashion/styling account Kat was talking about from TikTok: @5aldwinanna
