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.

It took me more than a year to hit “play” on the audible file, but by the time I started it, I also finished in a matter of a few days. 

The speed at which I consumed the book, however, does not necessaril...

August is a month of paradox and polarity, a time when two opposing truths can exist at once. You are the architect of your life, actively designing your future, but you are also the architecture—the very design being built. This is a precision point, a potent portal that guides you from being a seeker to becoming the source code of your own reality.

This month is marked by a confluence of powerful energy that feels both imme...
