This week, Amy and Kat start with a listener voicemail that brings some unexpected joy before diving into underrated love languages that deserve more attention: consistency, attunement, vulnerability, foreplay, and nurture. They also talk about burnout…specifically, the subtle ways it shows up at work and in life. Being “the responsive one” can quietly become part of your identity and why that’s not always something to be proud of. It’s an episode about boundaries, connection, and remembering that responsiveness doesn’t equal value…in work or in love.

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.

Sneaky Signs of Burnout (Plus, Underrated Love Languages)

A caller offers her perspective on a tough topic, why an ex moving on to a new relationship might actually be a hidden gift, even when it stings at first. We also dig into a listener's tricky career dilemma: she loves her current boss and the balance she's built, but has an offer on the table for significantly more money with an unknown boss and company culture. We break down how to weigh a guaranteed good thing against an unknown bigger opportunity.

Plus, we share the 10 signs of a genuinely great boss (only 1% apparently check every box), and answer a quick skincare question about the glycolic acid treatment that's been helping with Amy’s bumpy skin on her legs.

A Surprising Silver Lining + Chasing More Money at Work (Couch Talks)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/bea08404-d00a-4710-9265-b4b601851b28/transcript

Do you touch your hair or fidget with your jewelry at work? We're breaking down a communication expert's take on small nervous habits, twirling your hair, fixing your earrings, playing with loud bangles, and why these tiny, seemingly harmless movements can unintentionally read as nervousness or even flirtation to the people around you. 

We talk about the upcoming Verity movie and get into 7 research-backed morning habits that couples who stay in love tend to share, from a 6-second kiss to connecting before checking your phone.

We got a sweet DM from a listener grateful for the show's prep work ahead of Kat's baby, a hilariously dark confession about making a younger sibling cry on purpose as a kid, and a whimsical mental reframe for creating your own "golden ticket" to a great day.

We're also continuing our Hasbro Moment series, this week honoring a school librarian who creates a true sense of community for her students, and celebrating how games like Jenga, Scrabble, and Trivial Pursuit sneak in real learning through play.

Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again.

Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one? Email heythere@feelingthingspodcast.com or call 877-207-2077, they could get featured on the show, plus a $500 Walmart gift card from Hasbro for classroom supplies.

Grab your favorite Hasbro games like Jenga, Scrabble or Trivial Pursuit & more at Walmart.com!

What Your Fidgeting Says About You + 7 Morning Habits of Happy Couples

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/c3acc80f-93a4-4386-9819-b4b60022662c/transcript

A listener wants to know the difference between relating to someone's story and accidentally one-upping them, where does connection end and competition begin? 

We also tackle a tricky friendship dilemma: a listener whose friend gets loud, aggressive, and mean when she drinks too much on trips, and now keeps inviting herself along to group vacations. 

And finally, we answer a heartfelt letter from a bride whose engagement season has been completely overshadowed, first by a wave of friends getting engaged around the same time, and now by her own dad's upcoming wedding.
