Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

Amy is feeling curious about a couple of things, while Kat is feeling nostalgic and vindicated. Listeners weigh in on whether Amy should keep reading The Names and the opinions are split. Kat wonders if she can name her baby after herself, which feels weird, but men do it all the time! We learn that Amy walked in on her parents as a kid, which is a very unexpected fact being that it comes up during the ‘How to not get murdere...

April felt like things were being ripped at the seams, but May 2026 brings a different kind of intensity. It is a month of deep embodiment, psychological complexity, and intuitive awakening. While the tone is softer than last month, it is far from simple.

In this episode, we dive into the Universal 6 Month (in a 1 Year) and explore how to navigate three massive energetic themes: Reciprocity, Limitations, and Intuition. With Pluto s...

It’s no secret I’ve been stuck in my creativity lately (and my fertility).

So as a way to reignite my life force energy, I’m going back to the basics. I’m forgetting about my audience and moving toward what makes me happy. 

Which has me thinking:

If you’re creating your art for an audience, is it really art? 

Is creativity with a specific end in mind really creativity at all? 

Join me as...

In this episode, Leanne dives into why schools have become mental health first responders—and why they're not equipped to handle it.

96% of schools report skyrocketing mental health needs, but only half have the staff to address them. Counselors are managing caseloads of 400-600 students. And teachers—who became educators to inspire minds—are now carrying the emotional weight of 30+ students every single day, lead...

Amy yelled at a kid flying through her neighborhood today and she has zero regrets. A listener writes in about a boss who vents about motherhood in ways that feel uncomfortable and she genuinely wants to know if she is being too judgmental or if her feelings are valid. Amy and Kat talk through it. Then a letter from Taylor in Virginia Beach that will be the biggest encouragement to you. Taylor's husband is deployed on the USS Geral...

Amy sits down with Matt Smallbone, lead pastor of Church of the City in downtown Nashville and author of the new book The Prayer Experiment. Before he was a pastor he spent over a decade touring the world as a bass player with artists including Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, and KING + COUNTRY. 

Matt openly admits he once struggled with prayer himself and what happened when he committed to prayi...

Kat is feeling scattered and Amy is feeling thankful. While, can’t remember why exactly she feels that way, she does know that she hates the saying: “Wet my whistle.” The mention of “whistle” makes the conversation take an interesting turn. Amy is also fully convinced her Oura Ring is going to keep her single forever because her sleep score now matters more than going out. Kat recommends a new game cal...

I watched the most recent cult document released on Netflix over the weekend called Trust Me: The False Prophet.

It is an absolutely disturbing and important show.

It’s the most recent in a long line of cult documentaries and crime podcasts I’ve watched over the years and I have noticed a pattern, a list of behaviors and dynamics that can coerce otherwise intelligent, successful, big-hearted people to do things they wou...

If you’ve been feeling a lack of agency, stuck in loops of scarcity, or like you’re constantly reacting to life rather than leading it… this episode is your recalibration point.

This week, we move from the fluid emotions of the sacral into the "fire" of the Solar Plexus. As we navigate this period of accelerated energy, this center acts as your internal level—the bridge between your lower instincts and your...

In this episode, Leanne launches a special 5-part series on the teenage brain crisis—and why today's teens are struggling in ways we've never seen before.

Nearly 1 in 3 teen girls seriously considered suicide in the past year. 42% of high school students report persistent sadness or hopelessness. This isn't just a mental health crisis. It's a brain wiring crisis.

Leanne explains how social media is fundamentally rewiring the ...

Amy and Kat sit down with Sissy Goff and David Thomas to answer listener questions and talk about their newest book, Capable. They share practical tools for raising capable, resilient kids and answer everything from screen time (did you know a family media calculator exists?) to parenting college aged kids and what to do when your child is capable but just refuses to try. This conversation covers it all. They also tackle how to rai...

Kat is overwhelmed by ‘stroller TikTok’ and genuinely scared of Waymo cars. Amy is sitting with some shame after totally bombing a “feelings” quiz. Amy’s reminded of a reel she saw a woman post about being the “single friend” and then Kat shares a list of things she does not understand including why iced coffee costs more than hot, how superglue never gets stuck in the bottle, and how dry c...

In this episode, Leanne explores the question: “What would it look like to trust God with my body?” Drawing from her personal journey and the experiences of many women, Leanne delves into the idea that trusting God with our bodies isn't about achieving perfection but about surrendering control and embracing our God-given worth.

Leanne outlines five transformative shifts that can lead to healing: ceasing the pursuit of w...

If you’ve been feeling over-reactive, stagnant, or like your emotions are a tidal wave you can’t quite control… this episode will help you understand why.

Right now, we are collectively moving from the "doing" of the root into the "feeling" of the sacral. What many experience as emotional leakage, overexplaining, or a constant need for external validation is actually a sacral chakra that is either blocked or over...

This week I asked my 4 year old a question that I realized was actually for me:

How much would it take for you to be happy? 

As I watched him wrestle with this big question, I realized I have the same dilemma he does, the same dilemma all human beings face as we think about how we will love and live: do we surrender everything to discover love? 

Or do we fight for what’s “rightfully” ours? 

Do we de...
