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.
Amy's feeling eager, Kat's feeling refreshed, and they’re getting into all the things! First up: the three traits that make someone instantly likeable (hint: it's not just being nice). Then, how does Maternal Instinct compare to Love Trapped?? Amy shares sneaky ways toxic people test if they still have access to you after they've hurt you, without ever actually apologizing, plus what to do about it. And finally, describing yo...

Thanks for following along!

What if the very thing mental health culture tells you to do—focus on your trauma, honor your feelings, explore your pain—is actually reinforcing the patterns that are keeping you stuck?
In this episode, Dr. Lee Warren and I tackle one of the most controversial (and most important) truths about how the brain works: where you put your attention literally shapes your reality. What you focus on expands. And if you're spend...
The game is changing, the rules are changing, and this summer is asking you to show up as an embodied spiritual human being.

Amanda breaks down the unique energe...
Amber from Austin is newly married and in a pre-trip standoff…she packs last-minute, her husband packs very early, and the tension gets real before they even leave the house.

We have more mental health resources, more awareness, more support than ever before. So why are anxiety, depression, and suicide rates at all-time highs?
In this first episode of our brand-new Spiritual Brain Surgery series, Dr. Lee Warren and I dive into the paradox that's plaguing our culture: more help, worse outcomes. We unpack the stats, explore what's missing from the current mental health model, and ask the hard question: wh...
I don’t know about you but I have a hard time being wrong.
I like to have all my ducks in a row, all my affairs in order, all my t’s crossed and i’s dotted so that nobody can ever come after me for not being intelligent or prepared.
But I’m learning this obsession with being right is getting in the way.
Of my creativity.
Of my love.
Of my ability to grow.
So this week&rs...

If you feel present but simultaneously lost, you are not alone.
In this transmission, we are exploring what it means to be human, embodied, and radically authentic...
Listener Elizabeth writes in about something a lot of people feel but don't say out loud. She's 40-ish, a mom, financially stable, and can't shake the feeling that she should have more by now.

Amy & Kat go over some listener questions and emails. First, a listener is trying to conceive while three family members are pregnant at the same time. The jealousy is real and so is the guilt about feeling jealous. Then a blindsiding breakup over text after six months of dating. He's 39 with two kids. A TEXT. Amy and Kat have feelings about that. Another listener asks for marriage communication advice so we break it down the o...
Feelings of the day are torn, confused, excited, and pumped! After they go over the reasons behind all of these feelings, Kat then talks to Amy about the "solo-maxxing" trend, which is the growing movement of people actively choosing to stay single and actually thriving because of it. Then Amy goes over a list of subtle shifts women can make to get a man to play the long game. Some of these are genius. Some of them we would never d...
Do you ever feel like you’d be more creative if you were simply more disciplined?
Like you need to get your life together to get some creative work done?
That if only your proverbial ducks were in a row, then you’d have access to the creative genius you’ve always imagined?
What if the opposite is true?
In today’s episode, I explore the relationship between creative resistance (procrastination, laziness...
June 2026 is a curious, intense, and profoundly internal month setting the stage for massive external disruptions later this summer.

We discuss the major astrological shifts, including Chiron entering Taurus (initiating a new 7-year ...
In this final episode of the Teenager Brain series, Leanne dives into the root of it all: the identity crisis.
Teens today don't have a stable sense of self. They don't know who they are, what they value, or what they stand for. And their sense of self rises and falls with every like, every comment, every comparison.
One day they're confident. The next day they're convinced they're not enough. And you're watching it happen—no...

They also read two listener emails: Mahaya from Oklahoma shar...
Love makes people do weird things and we're getting into all of it. Biting, tickling, farting, and whatever else happens when you're truly comfortable with someone. Plus, Kat is feeling grateful for the overwhelming sunscreen recommendations that came flooding in, and Amy is in a full good mood thanks to a new 10-minute self tanner that changed everything.
Then... dumpster diving. A mom and daughter hit the jackpot behind Home Good...
Amy’s algorithm exposed her to purity culture hot tubs with worship music…which led to Kat sharing her algorithm…it’s all pregnancy and baby stuff all the time (i.e. Kylie Jenner gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy.) Amy went over a list of insults so intelligent you don’t realize you’ve been roasted until a few thoughts later. Sam from Boston called in sharing her go-bag hack for contact len...
