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.

Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or trapped in an erratic cycle of high and low energy? You are not alone. In this episode of Soul Sessions, Amanda Rieger Green explains why the old rhetoric of "healing old wounds" and "fixing blockages" is shifting. We are entering a new era that requires us to upgrade our inner operating system, drop internal competition, and find true cellular cohesion.

If you've been feeling stuck, unfoc...

There is a fertilizer for your creativity so powerful, so transformative, that it will wholly change the way you experience your life and your art. 

This vital nutrient can make you unstoppable and prolific.

The problem is, most of us are avoiding it. (Myself included). 

We tiptoe around it, sidestep it and organize our lives hoping we never have to experience this thing that is ultimately a portal to our most creative se...

Why do we turn to food, alcohol, shopping, or even busyness when life feels overwhelming? In this episode, Chip and Leanne dive into the real reason we numb—what we’re actually trying to escape or avoid—and how society conditions us to suppress rather than process emotions. They break down the neuroscience behind coping mechanisms, revealing why they provide short-term relief but lead to long-term suffering. If yo...

Addiction isn’t just about substances—it’s about the ways we cope with pain, stress, and unmet needs. In this episode, Chip Dodd and Leanne unpack how behaviors like emotional eating, over-exercising, workaholism, and social media addiction follow the same addictive patterns as substances. They explore the difference between coping mechanisms that help us heal versus those that keep us stuck, and how the brain wir...

AI isn’t exactly new anymore, but the questions around it are only getting more personal.

As it becomes more woven into our work, creativity, communication, and everyday lives, it’s worth asking: what are we comfortable handing over, and what should remain deeply human?

In this episode, I’m not talking about the usual fears around AI taking creative jobs or writing all future books. I’m interested in somethi...

Why do we keep assuming someone else knows better than we do?

In this episode, Amanda Rieger Green dives deep into our collective "external hunger"—the pervasive habit of looking outside ourselves for answers, validation, and truth. Whether we are looking to experts, influencers, institutions, or even AI, human beings are constantly seeking external certainty to escape the discomfort of the unknown.

But the truth is, we don't...

One of the primary reasons creatives stay stuck is that we are trying hard to make something “good”

I tell aspiring authors I coach that the fastest way to write something terrible is to sit down hoping to write something amazing. Something profound. Something worth reading.

Instead, if you sit down intending to tell the truth, the truth will take you exactly where you need to go.

It might be messy. It might be painful....
