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.
This week’s Couch Talks reminds us why we love hearing from you! Amy & Kat go over multiple emails: some updates from listeners that have ended up on Couch Talks in the past, Cheryl wrote in and shared her funny “tongue thruster” story from her childhood, and Dave is offering to send us money…no strings attached…so there’s that. Hope you enjoy & have the day you need to have!
