Amy and Kat sit down with Sissy Goff and David Thomas to answer listener questions and talk about their newest book, Capable. They share practical tools for raising capable, resilient kids and answer everything from screen time (did you know a family media calculator exists?) to parenting college aged kids and what to do when your child is capable but just refuses to try. This conversation covers it all. They also tackle how to raise more empathetic kids, what to do when your child's emotional age doesn't match their actual age, and why the WAIT acronym might be the most useful tool ever. Plus a rapid fire round with Sissy and David that is not so rapid but gives some really good insight.

Sissy Goff and David Thomas have been sitting with children and families as therapists at Daystar Counseling Ministries for decades. Through their counseling, podcast, books, and speaking, they have made it their life's work to offer practical help and hope to families.

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.
