Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

This week we're tackling a listener question that's been on everyone's mind: is it okay to use AI as your therapist? We break down the real pros and cons, from accessibility to the risk of over-relying on something that can't read a room or hold real accountability.

Then we dig into a gut-wrenching anonymous voicemail from a mom navigating estrangement from one of her sons…we also talk about how social media algorithms may b...

We’re breaking down the 6 types of people quietly draining your energy: the Constant Critic, the Guilt Tripper, the Fake Supporter, and more. We also cover the "survival strategy" behaviors you didn't realize were trauma responses in disguise (over-apologizing, we're looking at you). Plus, we get into Enneagram Types 7, 8, and 9, unpack the very real "Crush Recession" hitting the dating world (53% of singles report burnout, a...

The idea of surrender has never appealed very much to me. 

I’ve found more value in qualities like desire, passion, creativity, and personal agency. 

But lately life has pushed me to the place where surrender is my only option. 

And I’m learning not only why surrender matters but when it matters. Because surrender alone isn’t the answer to all of your problems (or mine).

But when the moment of surre...

If willpower alone isn’t enough to stop numbing, what is?

They share the first steps to recognizing an unhealthy coping pattern, decoding what it’s really telling you, and shifting from avoidance to awareness. This episode is all about embracing discomf...

Something major is shifting in our orientation, motives, and direction. Over the next 1.5 years—moving through the remainder of 2026, into 2027, and through Spring 2028—humanity is entering a massive evolutionary wave. New sensory perceptions are coming online, asking us to completely reorganize our cells, DNA, emotional intelligence, and energy fields to navigate the compounding acceleration of information and collecti...

She felt disrespected but knew it had to be done. They get into how many unanswered texts is too many before a guy should give up, why you do not need more hobbies but just the right mix, and whether LinkedIn is the new d...

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...

Buckle up—July 2026 brings the wildest, most volatile, and most radiant astrological and numerological energy of the entire year. We are witnessing a massive consciousness split, a literal tearing of the energetic field where planet earth is separating into two parallel realities: an ego-driven, mass-algorithm existence versus a heart-centered, utopian timeline. This month, your main assignment is to become an emotionally reg...

Do you know the rules of ge...
