Feeling Things with Amy & Kat
Feeling Things with Amy & Kat
Nashville Podcast Network
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.
Is It 'Bad Enough' To Ask For Help? (Couch Talks)
We're answering two emails that hit close to home for a lot of listeners. First, Sarah, 32, writes in feeling like a stranger to herself after a lifetime of being whoever everyone else needed her to be, and asks how to actually start figuring out who she is. We talk through some real starting points, from noticing what energizes you to practicing choosing for yourself in small ways. Then Mary, 47, shares a vulnerable question about a long, complicated relationship with food and her body, and asks how you know if something is "serious enough" to get help for, even when you're still functioning and showing up for your life. We talk through why the answer to that question might be simpler than she thinks. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

Comfort Over Cool: Confessions of Getting Older
Amy's feeling proud, while Kat's feeling sad! We confess all the ways we've settled into getting older, from sensible shoes to loving vacuums to not wanting to go to concerts that start too late. Kat takes us through the realization that millennials are no longer "the future" (or the problem child) as Gen Z has officially taken over that title. Plus: a story about the time Amy's mom showed up at school and walked her to class, a mom who told her kids the TV "broke" four months ago, taking a cruise to Antarctica, and this week's Hasbro Moment honoring a teacher whose family tradition of playing Monopoly turned into decades of showing up for a family in need. Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again. Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one?

What's God Got To Do With It?: Removing the Blocks: Self-Acceptance and God's Unwavering Grace
In this episode of the "God Pod", Leanne invites you to redefine "surrender" and actively shift from self-reliance to God's guidance. Diving into the first ingredient AND the first "God Block", the focus is on Self-Acceptance as both an ingredient for a loving Self-Image and a potential block to receiving God's love. Consider this episode a roadmap to recognizing and addressing your own "God Blocks", fostering self-acceptance, and taking practical steps to actually break through the "Paradox of Acceptance"...and how to accept yourself (even with all the messy bits) when you DON'T accept yourself.

Write Your Story: To Learn the Truth, Listen to the Body
The dominant cultural narrative says that truth lies in data, rational thinking and logic.  And so when we set out to heal, we think we need to alter the thoughts, reframe the story, and get the mind under control (and for a while this may even work).  But then there comes a point where the body begins to disagree with the mind.  The body doesn’t care about “right” answers. The body doesn’t care how you’re “supposed” to feel.  The body is unconvinced and unconcerned with positive affirmations.  The body has one objective and one objective only: to express what is inside. What’s true.  And a repressed body will eventually get louder. Much louder.  Are you willing to listen to the truth of the body?     Register for The River Within, a 12 week program with Ally + Ruthie: https://www.ruthielindsey.com/the-river Onsite workshops: https://experienceonsite.com/ Somatic healing work w/ my practitioner, Allison: https://www.healwithallison.com/   Host: Ally Fallon // @allyfallon // allisonfallon.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Soul Sessions: Intentional Friendship, Front-Loading & the Energy of September (with Amy Brown)
This week on Soul Sessions, Amanda Rieger-Green welcomes a very special guest: her cousin Amy Brown, co-host of The Bobby Bones Show and Feeling Things with Amy and Kat, who traveled all the way to Cuenca, Ecuador to visit her. Amanda and Amy dive deep into what it means to be truly intentional in friendship, how the loss of both of their mothers deepened their bond, and why "front-loading" your schedule to protect time with the people you love is worth it. They talk through calling an audible, coping mechanisms disguised as chores (hello, aggressive counter-wiping), book recommendations for reconnecting with fiction, and how September's numerology landing as a 1 month in a 1 Universal Year, amplified into a 10, is asking all of us to engage more fully and show up present in our relationships. Amanda also opens up about a recent, tender loss and what it's teaching her about living in the now instead of waiting for "someday." A warm, funny, and honest conversation about presence, reciprocity, and inhabiting your life with the people who matter most. Host: Amanda Rieger Green Subscribe to Amanda's YouTube HERE!

When Rejection Is Redirection & More (Couch Talks)
We're diving into your voicemails and emails…starting with Samantha's story about how a job she "didn't get" ended up leading her to her best friend, her fiancé, and a promotion (proof that maybe you didn't get what you wanted because you deserve more). We're also unpacking a body language expert's claim that carrying two bags to work makes you look "chaotic" and unprofessional, answering a listener's question about LENS neurofeedback therapy, and Kat's tackling a great question from Mary (a fellow therapist-in-training) about how to balance hosting a podcast with keeping client boundaries intact.

Airport Hammocks, Awkward Congrats & Accidental Reposts
Amy's feeling disappointed, envious, and curious while Kat is just feeling conflicted. Plus: Amy shares an important PSA about Instagram reposts (go check your page, you never know what's on there), Kat tells us why one etiquette expert says "congratulations" on an engagement is actually a faux pas, TSA-approved airport hammocks for your next long layover, a genius gift idea involving printed group texts, and a 70-year-old's texting code cheat sheet that will have you dying laughing (BYOT = Bring Your Own Teeth). Also, this week's Hasbro Moment honors a school counselor whose office full of games has become a safe space for kids to open up, calm down, and feel seen. We're also continuing our Hasbro Moment series, this week honoring a school librarian who creates a true sense of community for her students, and celebrating how games like Jenga, Scrabble, and Trivial Pursuit sneak in real learning through play. Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again. Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one?

What's God Got To Do With It?: Unraveling Worthiness: Breaking Down the 5 'Blocks' to God's Love
Leanne is kicking off a new series based on her own experiences navigating "The Paradox of Worthiness" (as she calls it). As in, how do you feel worthy when you don't feel worthy?There is so much talk nowadays about self-love and worthiness, but the crucial question remains: How do we truly embrace it if all we’ve ever known is the opposite? How do you suddenly feel worthy if all you’ve ever known is feeling unworthy?   In this kickoff to the series, Leanne introduces you to (what she calls) "The 5 Blocks To Love", and how she discovered that when it came to actually FEELING worthy of being loved, that was a really hard concept for her to grasp at first. It felt like something was actually blocking her. And that's when she discovered that there were "5 Blocks" that were hindering her ability to RECEIVE what was already there, and that this was what was actually causing her resistance. She also discovered that removing those blocks catapulted her ability to connect to herself, others, and God. You're going to get an in-depth look at each of these blocks in this upcoming series, but first she dives into the fusion of faith, neuroscience, and self-image as a pathway to feeling worthy and putting yourself in the optimal position to remove your own blocks.  Episodes Mentioned: - The Faith-Brain Connection: Where Self Image Meets Neuroscience- A Scientist Goes Looking For God- How God Helped Me Heal My Fears About Being Alone the Rest of My Life Authors Mentioned: - Curt Thompson: https://curtthompsonmd.com/ - Chip Dodd: https://www.chipdodd.com/   HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com To learn more about Leanne, head over to www.LeanneEllington.com, and to share your thoughts, questions, feedback, or guest suggestions instantly, head on over to www.WhatsGodGotToDoWithIt.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You can call the national suicide and crisis hotline by dialing 988 on your phone.
