Amy was inspired by a conversation with her girlfriends at her birthday party this week to share a chat that Kat had with Justin Baldoni about some of the harmful messages that our culture's idea of masculinity creates. Justin came out with a book, titled Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity, and started the Man Enough Podcast in 2021 in an effort to further undefine masculinity and offer freedom to those who have been hurt by the current popular beliefs of what being a man looks like. In this episode you will hear about some of those beliefs and gain a better understanding of why we need to start shifting how we view masculinity.

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.

Amy and Kat unpack an anonymous listener’s question about a friendship that suddenly feels…off. From backhanded comments about Botox to unsolicited opinions about glasses and clothes, this listener wonders: Am I overreacting, or is my friend actually making me feel small? 

Then, an email from Emily, who shares how a new medical diagnosis led her to a moment of deep self-compassion. Her story is a reminder to treat our bodies with kindness…especially when they’re going through something hard.

Also, there’s a false alarm about Christmas!!!!!!!!

Kat’s Feeling Disturbed + Our December Mantra: Take Care of Your Money, Your Chicken, Your Mentals

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/6911f4a1-beeb-47cc-a522-b3b500b04a92/transcript

In this Couch Talks, Amy and Kat explore two very real moments listeners are navigating right now…one about grief, and one about blending families and homes.

They begin with a note from a listener whose father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. In the middle of her husband’s heartbreak, she offered him the phrase Amy and Kat say every week: “Have the day you need to have.” Permission to feel is sometimes the most supportive thing we can give someone.

This leads to Amy sharing a story about Kat affirming her decision to eat an entire bag of sharable M&Ms and an Auntie Anne’s pretzel from the Denver airport (FYI: the one in Terminal C is the best Amy says she’s ever had!) When Amy wondered how many servings of M&Ms she’d just eaten, Kat replied with: “You had the amount of servings you needed to have.” GOOD REPLY, KAT!!!

Then they dive into a second email from a listener wrestling with a big life transition: moving into her partner’s home as they prepare for marriage…kids, mortgages, logistics and feelings all included. How do you make someone else’s house feel like your home? Should she ask to be added to the deed? Is combining households always this complicated? They answer these questions (their opinions!) and Amy shares feelings she’s having about her boyfriend and this exact topic.
