Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

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 someone asks, “how are you doing?” Do you smile and say “I’m fine”? 

Or do you tell the truth? 

You might have a thousand reasons for holding back your truth in the face of a relatively benign question like “how are you doing?” — some of which may even be justified. But I suppose a better question is: do you know what is true for you? 

Are you in touch with your ow...

Rather than bracing for Mercury Retrograde, we invite you to embrace this period (November 9th-29th) as a spiritual refinement process—a chance to clear static from your frequency and let old, outdated narratives dissolve. With three water signs in retrograde (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), the universe is gifting us a profound psycho-spiritual cleanse.

Here’s what we cover:

Feeling “blah”? You’re not alone. Good news, though? This episode is funny! Kat and Amy dive into everything from rage showers (yep, they’re real) to treadmill meltdowns and the odd debate of “zero” vs “oh” when saying numbers. But the real kicker: can swearing actually make you more authentic? Kat breaks down the surprising psychology behind profanity, and why dropping an f-bomb migh...

Have you ever found yourself thinking, I believe in God, but why do I still have doubts? If so, you’re not alone! In this episode, we tackle a powerful listener question about navigating faith when uncertainty creeps in. We’ll explore why doubt is a normal part of the faith journey, what the Bible actually says about questioning God, and how even some of the strongest believers—like John the Baptist and Thomas&mda...

Do you believe there’s more to life than what you can see? 

If so, how does this affect the way you move through the world? 

Does it impact how you make decisions; how you deal with disappointment; how you make meaning from your story? 

What about not getting what you want? 

In today’s episode, I share a message that came to me through my yoga practice and talk about how it brought peace to a situati...

This week on Couch Talks, Amy and Kat respond to a listener’s voicemail calling out a controversial comment from our recent episode on breast cancer awareness. Amy talks about feeling misunderstood and why curiosity matters more than judgment (yes, Kat quotes Ted Lasso). They also talk about The Pitt possibly being a copy of ER (Kat cried, Amy didn’t), and unpack the idea that “great artists steal.” It&rsquo...

My five year old daughter recently asked me why sometimes we ask God for things and she doesn’t give them to us (I secretly love that she refers to God as female, even though we’ve never gendered God in our house). 

As I processed the answer to her question — and thought about all the things I’ve wanted in my life but never gotten — I recorded this episode. 

This episode is an in-real-time, t...

Deedee has been a pastor for decades, preaching faith, healing, and God’s love to her congregation. But behind closed doors, she was secretly struggling with a battle that didn’t have anything to do with her sermons, but everything to do with food.

For decades, food felt like her hidden demon—something she couldn’t conquer no matter how much she prayed or tried to “willpower” her way through. Despite her deep-rooted faith and dedic...

Amy and Kat respond to a listener who’s feeling...meh. Life looks great on paper: the house, the kids, the routines, but something feels stuck. Is it an early midlife crisis or just part of being in your 30s? The girls talk about how even a beautiful life can feel a little uninspired sometimes, why that’s totally normal, and how to start creating a spark instead of waiting for one to show up.

The Feeling of the Day is forgetful, thanks to Kat leaving her wedding ring at home, which leads to a chat about what happens when she forgets it in public and somehow snowballs into a conversation about whether you’d say something if you saw a stranger having an affair.

Speaking of rings, Amy shares that Kat’s been sending her engagement ring newsletters, even though there’s no engagement news to report. Amy also...

Today we’re tackling a topic that many shy away from but is so essential: the feeling of being angry at God. Yep, we’re going there. It's time to have  an honest conversation about those moments when life deals you such a hard blow that you find yourself looking up at the sky and asking, “Why, God? Why would You let this happen?”

When life is confusing and you don’t have the answers, what is your first response?

Do you get tied into knots trying to figure it out? 

Or are you comfortable with the open-ended nature of things?

Last week I unpacked the power of “I don’t know” and this week I’m continuing the conversation about how life improves when you let it be ok that you don’t know.

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 ...

Are you tired of feeling constantly drained and overwhelmed by other people's stuff? What if spiritual growth didn't have to be a slow, laborious process of "digesting" heavy emotions and energy?

Most people are unconsciously absorbing, processing, and "digesting" every emotion, thought, and energetic push-and-pull they encounter—which leaves them perpetually depleted. In this episode, we're introducing a powerful, high-frequ...
