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.

When a Boundary Meets a Big Life Event: How to Show Up Without Losing Yourself (Couch Talks)

Amy & Kat answer questions from listeners about how to handle growing distant from friends you don't want to lose, how to maintain a friendship when you're in completely different stages of life, Amy’s experience with Al-Anon for someone that’s curious about it, book recommendations, their favorite ADHD hacks, and what happened with Amy and her boyfriend. They also read two listener emails: Mahaya from Oklahoma shares a book that might change how you think about uncertainty and decision making, and Emily from North Carolina writes in after finishing The Correspondent with the kind of email that reminds us why we do this.

Your Questions, Our Answers: Friendship, ADHD, Al-Anon & More (Couch Talks)

Love makes people do weird things and we're getting into all of it. Biting, tickling, farting, and whatever else happens when you're truly comfortable with someone. Plus, Kat is feeling grateful for the overwhelming sunscreen recommendations that came flooding in, and Amy is in a full good mood thanks to a new 10-minute self tanner that changed everything.

Then... dumpster diving. A mom and daughter hit the jackpot behind Home Goods and walked away with a car full of brand new items, tags still on, completely free. Area rugs, ceramic vases, fleece blankets, baking dishes. They go over a list and the pro tips you need if you want to try it yourself. Sunday is apparently the day to go!

And listener Susan from Austin writes in with a beautiful note, a baby name idea for Kat, a Canyon Ranch recommendation, and the kind of encouragement that reminds you why we do this. Thank you, Susan.

Weird Things People Do That Are In Love, The 10-Minute Tan & More

Amy’s algorithm exposed her to purity culture hot tubs with worship music…which led to Kat sharing her algorithm…it’s all pregnancy and baby stuff all the time (i.e. Kylie Jenner gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy.) Amy went over a list of insults so intelligent you don’t realize you’ve been roasted until a few thoughts later. Sam from Boston called in sharing her go-bag hack for contact lens wearers, and Heidi emailed giving us the full mineral sunscreen download after three years of family testing.
