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

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.
