Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

In this powerful opening episode, Dr. Lee Warren invites us into the world where faith and neuroscience meet — not in theory, but in real, everyday transformation. As a practicing neurosurgeon, Dr. Warren has operated on the most delicate organ in the human body…yet he reminds us that some of the most life-altering “surgery” doesn’t happen in the operating room at all.

He shares how every thought we think literally reshapes the brain, often without us realizing it. And that’s where Self-Brain Surgery begins: the moment we stop letting accidental patterns drive our lives, and start intent...

This is a time of year that seems to move at lightning speed. it can feel like, if we don’t also move at lightning speed, we’ll fall behind and miss something truly important. What if moving fast isn’t the flex you’ve been told it is?

It might seem like FAST is the way to get more out of life. Think of all the magic we can experience and things we can accomplish if we move at the fastest possible pace! 

But what if we’re wrong about that?

In this weeks...

Does the start of 2026 feel erratic and volatile? You aren’t alone. While we’ve officially entered a 1 Universal Year of fresh starts and new beginnings, we are currently in a massive "recalibration."

In this episode, Amanda dives deep into the transitional energy of January 2026. We explore why the current volatility is actually giving you the data you need for clarity, and how to stay grounded while the world feels like it’s at each other's throats.

[Key Topics Covered]

Amy and Kat kick things off with a voicemail from Julia in Wisconsin. She shares that “fire” is her word for 2026, from firing what’s not serving her to doing “fire girl walks” and leaning into her style with some “fire fits.” This leads to Amy sharing her exhaustion around “in and out” lists on social media, especially when it comes to certain fashion things and home decor. The overconsumption is real right now!! Ashley, a listener from Arizona, sent an email with encouragement for Amy’s possible cowgirl era. She tells Amy what that lifestyle really looks like and why it aligns wi...

Amy and Kat are feeling shook and grateful, but mostly shook after finishing Beth’s Dead. Kat breaks down why the ending didn’t sit right with her, how manipulation may have showed up, and Amy is now torn on how she feels about the whole thing. It’s a crazy storyline for sure and one things for sure: Amy & Kat hope none of this messes with the HEALTHY parasocial relationships they have with ‘Feeling Things’ listeners!! :)

They also play voicemail about a truly gross thing someone did in a store…Kat will want to wash her new underwea...

In a world of endless scrolling and curated highlight reels, staying connected to God’s voice can feel nearly impossible. Social media is a powerful tool, but it’s also one of the loudest and most distracting spaces we navigate daily.

In this episode of What’s God Got To Do With It?, Leanne gets real about the impact social media has on our hearts, minds, and faith walks. From the comparison trap to the constant stream of noise, she breaks down how these digital habits affect our relationship with God—and how we can take steps to recla...

I’ve been practicing something recently that I want to share with you.

It’s pulling me out of survival mode and into pure presence.

It’s asking me to drop the ego I barely knew I was carrying.

It’s helping me get more honest about who I am and what I really need.

It’s not flashy or impressive (quite the opposite). It’s grounding and simple. 

And in case you might want to practice this too, I’m sharing it with you today.

Maybe you don’t need...

Before they get to the listener question, Amy and Kat share their words of the year for 2026. Amy also randomly shares her desire to be a cowgirl, so maybe she’ll have more of those vibes this year as well. TBD. Today’s email is from an anonymous mom struggling to support her son’s love for being in band while her husband openly discourages it. Amy and Kat talk through parenting differences, protecting a child’s spark, and how to navigate these moments without creating deeper fractures in a marriage.

Amy and Kat are feeling motivated and introduce a simple but powerful way to declutter: give your stuff a performance review. Inspired by a tip from a Harvard professor, they talk about how we “hire” items to do a job and how freeing it can be to fire the things that no longer serve you.

They also break down the red flags that your house might have too much stuff, from constantly organizing without results to feeling anxious in your own space. Plus, a listener's voicemail proves that if we don’t clean out our homes as we age...

In today’s episode of What’s God Got to Do With It? we’re diving deep into a struggle we’ve all faced: comparison. Whether it’s scrolling through Instagram, seeing someone else’s success, or feeling like you’re falling short in your own faith walk, comparison is a sneaky thief that steals our joy, gratitude, and connection to God.

Leanne explores the real cost of comparison—how it can plant seeds of envy and even make us question God’s goodness—and explore practical, faith-filled steps to break free. From practicing radical gratitude (and the neuroscience behi...

If you’re a high-achiever who has built your life on hard work, dedication and getting difficult tasks done, you probably can’t imagine what it would be like to allow your life to happen in a way that is organic and easy. 

Just let things happen however they happen???

It might even sound kind of “wrong”. 

You might think to yourself that everything good in your life has been built by the achiever in you who knows how to get great things accomplished. 

But what if all of that power and passion...

Amy is very excited about what she gifted herself for Christmas. Speaking of gifts, she and Kat talk about being a saver or a user when it comes to receiving gifts and what that might say about how you grew up. They also dive into a listener email about a friend who leans on “boundaries” and “self-care” a little too much and how confusing that can be. Amy and Kat break down the difference between healthy boundaries and simply shutting people out.

Have the Christmas or Holiday you need to have!

Amy and Kat’s feelings of the day are all over the map: sentimental, scared, content, and confused…and they spend some time unpacking why. Part of that includes sharing their thoughts on Netflix’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning. They are blown away he was able to get away with all that he did and for so long. They also shift the energy and lighten things up by introducing a simple and helpful acronym that can make small talk feel way less awkward. It’s called the F.O.R.G.E. method…just something to keep in your back pocke...

Amy and Kat unpack an anonymous listener’s question about a friendship that suddenly feels…off. From backhanded comments about Botox to unsolicited opinions about glasses and clothes, this listener wonders: Am I overreacting, or is my friend actually making me feel small? 

Then, an email from Emily, who shares how a new medical diagnosis led her to a moment of deep self-compassion. Her story is a reminder to treat our bodies with kindness…especially when they’re going through something hard.

Also, there’s a false alarm about Christmas!!!!!!!!

Kat’s feeling disturbed, Amy is questioning her dishwasher habits, and a listener email calls out something from last week’s episode.

Today we tackle a challenge that so many of us face but don’t always talk about: how to find true peace in a world overflowing with noise and overstimulation. From the constant pings of our phones and the never-ending news cycle to the mental chatter that never seems to quiet down, it feels like we’re surrounded by chaos. And even when life demands us to be present, the pressure of endless stimulation makes it nearly impossible to find the stillness our souls crave.

If you’re feeling stuck in your writing or in your life, it’s very possible your body and mind are telling two different stories. 

In today’s episode I talk not only about why this happens but also how to reconcile the two, and even share a simple writing exercise to help you do it. 

When you integrate the story your mind and body are telling, deep healing takes place. I hope you enjoy the episode and the extra resources I share below.

What you will learn in this episode:

In this Couch Talks, Amy and Kat explore two very real moments listeners are navigating right now…one about grief, and one about blending families and homes.

They begin with a note from a listener whose father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. In the middle of her husband’s heartbreak, she offered him the phrase Amy and Kat say every week: “Have the day you need to have.” Permission to feel is sometimes the most supportive thing we can give someone.

This leads to Amy sharing a story about Kat affirming her decision to eat an entire b...

Kat and Amy go over the Drama Triangle today! Kat helps us unpack the difference between content vs. context (aka fact vs. the story we write about the fact), why our brains default to meaning-making, and how those stories can lift us above the line into possibility…or pull us below the line into fear, lack, and powerlessness.

Kat explains the 3 unconscious roles of the Drama Triangle: Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor + why each one feels rewarding in the moment, and how they keep us trapped in unhealthy communication loops. Both Amy and Kat share some personal stories on...

In this special episode of What’s God Got To Do With It?, Leanne welcomes the iconic Candace Cameron Bure—beloved actress, producer, bestselling author, and CEO—to share an intimate look at her journey of faith, purpose, and self-discovery. With two highly anticipated holiday films, A Christmas Less Traveled and Home Sweet Christmas, Candace gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the magic of Christmas storytelling and how the themes of healing and finding unexpected purpose resonate deeply in her own life.

But this episode goes far beyond the screen. Candace opens up about the challenges of wearing...

If you’ve ever stopped yourself from doing something because you were afraid, I have a question for you.  

What is *under* your fear?

This might not be the first question you think to ask yourself about your fear. But I recently started looking *behind* my fear and I found something unexpected. 

What I found is dissolving my fears in a way I couldn’t have predicted. 

I’m sharing my story today on the podcast.

Amy & Kat take an unexpected stroll down memory lane talking about the D.A.R.E. program from back in the day. Do yall remember that? It definitely kept Kat clean & also had her freaked out anytime her parents would have one drink haha. 

They go over a heartfelt email from Suzanne offering a beautiful picture of the ups and downs that come with big life changes. Through all the emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, and contentment) she reminds us to embrace the chaos of the holidays, fill our cups, and take things one step at a time. A...

Amy and Kat kick off the episode with a feeling that might hit way too close to home: “I think I might need to cry.” Speaking of crying, science says that if you cry easily it might mean your brain is working better than you think. They break down findings on why people who tear up easily have faster processing, and how “emotion labeling” can calm your brain in just 90 seconds.

They also talk about the inconvenient nature of friendships and relationships (including an airport pickup that went sideways with Amy’s boyfriend), what truly makes a bond healt...

Today we’re diving deep into a topic that resonates with so many of us: why it sometimes feels like our prayers are going unanswered.

Have you ever found yourself pleading with God, pouring out your heart for a breakthrough or a change, only to be met with silence? Maybe you’re asking for healing, clarity, or relief from a burden, but despite your faith and persistence, nothing seems to shift.

We’ll explore what it truly means when God’s response is “Wait” or even “No,” and how these answers are not signs of indifference, bu...

What do astrology and storytelling have in common? 

Both have an amazing way of taking the seemingly disconnected events of our lives and giving them meaning and order.  

On this week’s episode, I interview author, teacher and world-renowned astrologist Debra Silverman and dig into the power astrology offers to organize the experiences of our lives. Together we discover just how much our work has in common.

Whether you are curious about astrology, a devoted student, or an admitted skeptic, this conversation will help you make meaning of your life story.

Amy and Kat kick things off with a viral Thanksgiving game idea they saw going viral. They would like to work-shop the game a little, so maybe you have an idea on how to make the game more mysterious. 

They share two emails. One from a listener, Amy, asking about why we have to give the therapy disclaimer at the start of couch talks episodes and how Kat changed her life after sharing she doesn’t wear underwear with her leggings. The second email is from ‘E in Boston’ and she is curious on thoughts on a vanity...

Amy and Kat show up feeling annoyed, scared, excited, and grateful. A text from Kat’s mom sends her spiraling, Amy’s bracing for something big that’s about to happen, and somehow they end up debating whether it’s a “dopp” or a “doc” kit. They also unpack why “Let me know what you need” can backfire and share helpful things to say instead when someone’s struggling. Then they dig into the truth behind your excuses (spoiler: they’re just fears in fancy outfits), plus a random deep dive on foods that might make you smell better…and worse.

Have you ever wondered if the voice in your head is God speaking—or just your own thoughts, emotions, or fears? If so, you’re not alone. In this episode of Ask The God Pod, Leanne tackles a powerful listener question: How do I know if I’m really hearing God? She breaks down why this can be so tricky, how to discern between God’s voice and our own internal noise, and the key steps to confidently recognizing His guidance.

You’ll learn how to test what you’re hearing against Scripture, recognize the difference between divine peace...

If you’ve ever considered writing a book, you’ve also probably asked yourself this common question: is my idea any good? 

Is the story or topic I want to write about interesting to anyone other than me? 

There are many ways to answer this question and unfortunately, how you answer might determine whether or not you write your book. Imagine if the author of your favorite book had decided, before ever writing, that their book idea was “no good”.  

In today’s episode, I’ll teach you how to answer this question for yourself and...

This final part of our November Astrology series is an energetic crescendo. From November 18th to the 30th, the universe offers a potent mix of piercing clarity, spiritual accountability, and a powerful shift back toward joy. This is the moment to choose your path and commit to the adventure of being human.

Here’s what we cover:

Amy and Kat answer a listener’s question about what “have the day you need to have” actually means…such a good question considering they end every single episode with that phrase! They also settle the great pajama-and-underwear debate and respond to an email that is curious about Amy’s man bashing on the podcast and the Bobby Bones Show.

This episode is a roller coaster in the best way. Kat breaks down a study revealing how Americans actually measure success (spoiler: it’s not fame or money), and Amy explains why Gen Z is “rawdogging boredom” to boost creativity. They also get into China’s new rule requiring influencers to have real credentials, the timeless wisdom of the top regrets of the dying, and two listener calls: one about saying “oh” vs. zero, and one offering a very honest, potentially helpful PSA about labia changes no one talks about. Oh, and the Feeling of the Day? Empowered.

We hesitate to tell our stories for a thousand reasons. It’s vulnerable, for starters, and we hate the feeling of giving others power over us. 

We decide ahead of time that our story isn’t that interesting, that nobody else would care besides us, and that our situation is 100% unique to our experience. 

But what if wisdom is buried inside of your personal story? 

What if keeping your story secret is hiding that wisdom, even from you?

Saturn and Neptune are Retrograde in Pisces, bringing a period of deep introspection—and potential emotional pitfalls. The energy feels foggy, exhaustive, and heavy, putting our defenses to the test.

This astrological transit can stir up old fears and delusions, making past, unhealthy coping mechanisms sound like logical solutions. Be aware: the temptation toward escapism will be high, whether through old addictions like drugs, alcohol, and food, or behaviors like doomscrolling, overeating, or toxic relationships.

This is a cautionary time. Your nervous system may feel frayed and exhausted, and your internal "check engine light" is on...

Amy and Kat hear from listener Maggie who shares a fun fashion philosophy called The Rule of 7…a style tip that just might change how you accessorize. Amy also shares her new use for witch hazel and a new pet peeve of hers! 

Also, listener Sadie left a voicemail with a heartfelt follow-up to last week’s episode, sharing how an unexpected injury helped her embrace a slower pace and ask, “What does this make possible?”

Amy and Kat are both feeling merry this week!! Kat because she just had the staycation of her dreams and she’s already decorated for Christmas (she’s in a season of creating as much joy as possible)! And Amy’s feeling merry because, well, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! However, she had some anxiety pop up around something she thought she’d worked through, so she shares about those feelings as well. Kat reminds her that healing isn’t about being “done” with a feeling…it’s about knowing how to move through it now. When familiar f...

What do you do when the people in your life don’t share your faith—or worse, when they actively pull you away from it? A listener sent in this tough but common question, and today, we’re diving deep into how to navigate relationships while staying strong in your walk with God. Maybe it’s friends who don’t respect your beliefs, family members who challenge your faith, or even a romantic relationship that’s making you feel distant from God. So, how do you love people well without compromising your faith?

In this episode, we’ll break down...

You pray for change, you genuinely want to do better, and yet… you find yourself stuck in the same old habits. Sound familiar? In today’s episode, we answer a listener’s question about why breaking free from repetitive struggles feels so hard—even when we’re actively seeking God’s help. Whether it’s self-sabotage, toxic relationships, negative self-talk, or cycles of fear and doubt, we’ll unpack the three key reasons why we keep repeating patterns: how our brains crave familiarity, how subconscious beliefs shape our actions, and how spiritual battles keep us stuck.

But here’s the truth...

When someone asks, “how are you doing?” Do you smile and say “I’m fine”? 

Or do you tell the truth? 

You might have a thousand reasons for holding back your truth in the face of a relatively benign question like “how are you doing?” — some of which may even be justified. But I suppose a better question is: do you know what is true for you? 

Are you in touch with your own truth? 

Are you able to share it with at least one trusted person? 

And have you considered the po...

Rather than bracing for Mercury Retrograde, we invite you to embrace this period (November 9th-29th) as a spiritual refinement process—a chance to clear static from your frequency and let old, outdated narratives dissolve. With three water signs in retrograde (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), the universe is gifting us a profound psycho-spiritual cleanse.

Here’s what we cover:

Amy and Kat share an email from Grace, a listener from Alaska who opens up about her recovery from an eating disorder and the struggle to let go of “perfect” routines. Grace’s story sparks an honest conversation about control, identity, and what it really means to live in recovery. Amy and Kat share what they would tell their younger selves and offer gentle reminders that healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about peace.

Feeling “blah”? You’re not alone. Good news, though? This episode is funny! Kat and Amy dive into everything from rage showers (yep, they’re real) to treadmill meltdowns and the odd debate of “zero” vs “oh” when saying numbers. But the real kicker: can swearing actually make you more authentic? Kat breaks down the surprising psychology behind profanity, and why dropping an f-bomb might say more about your honesty than your manners. It’s a messy and unexpectedly insightful ride through emotion, language, and laughter.

Have you ever found yourself thinking, I believe in God, but why do I still have doubts? If so, you’re not alone! In this episode, we tackle a powerful listener question about navigating faith when uncertainty creeps in. We’ll explore why doubt is a normal part of the faith journey, what the Bible actually says about questioning God, and how even some of the strongest believers—like John the Baptist and Thomas—had their moments of uncertainty.

But here’s the good news: Doubt doesn’t mean you’re failing in your faith. It’s an opportunity t...

November is an intense month of energetic reckoning and massive personal upgrade. Astrologically, numerologically, and intuitively, this first part of the forecast dives deep into the emotional currents, relationship breakthroughs, and the power of the November 5th Full Moon.

What's Inside This Episode:

Do you believe there’s more to life than what you can see? 

If so, how does this affect the way you move through the world? 

Does it impact how you make decisions; how you deal with disappointment; how you make meaning from your story? 

What about not getting what you want? 

In today’s episode, I share a message that came to me through my yoga practice and talk about how it brought peace to a situation where I’m not getting what I want.

This week on Couch Talks, Amy and Kat respond to a listener’s voicemail calling out a controversial comment from our recent episode on breast cancer awareness. Amy talks about feeling misunderstood and why curiosity matters more than judgment (yes, Kat quotes Ted Lasso). They also talk about The Pitt possibly being a copy of ER (Kat cried, Amy didn’t), and unpack the idea that “great artists steal.” It’s messy, open-hearted, and all about growing through discomfort.

My five year old daughter recently asked me why sometimes we ask God for things and she doesn’t give them to us (I secretly love that she refers to God as female, even though we’ve never gendered God in our house). 

As I processed the answer to her question — and thought about all the things I’ve wanted in my life but never gotten — I recorded this episode. 

This episode is an in-real-time, thinking-out-loud kind of an episode. More of a “questions” kind of episode than an “answers” kind of episode. 

But maybe, as I talk...

Deedee has been a pastor for decades, preaching faith, healing, and God’s love to her congregation. But behind closed doors, she was secretly struggling with a battle that didn’t have anything to do with her sermons, but everything to do with food.

For decades, food felt like her hidden demon—something she couldn’t conquer no matter how much she prayed or tried to “willpower” her way through. Despite her deep-rooted faith and dedication to serving others, food seemed to have a stronghold on her life, leaving her feeling ashamed, defeated, and disconnected.

Even though...

Are you struggling with an intense consciousness upgrade? If you're experiencing burnout, unexplained physical aches, emotional heaviness, or rapidly accelerating synchronicities, this episode confirms you are deeply committed to your evolutionary path—and exactly where you need to be.

The current energetic climate is intense! Amanda breaks down the forces at play, including the significance of a 9-year in numerology and major astrological movements (Neptune retrograding into Pisces, Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus), which are collectively forcing old fear-based stories ("I'm not good enough," "I'll never have enough money") to surface.

In this episode, yo...

Amy and Kat respond to a listener who’s feeling...meh. Life looks great on paper: the house, the kids, the routines, but something feels stuck. Is it an early midlife crisis or just part of being in your 30s? The girls talk about how even a beautiful life can feel a little uninspired sometimes, why that’s totally normal, and how to start creating a spark instead of waiting for one to show up.

This week, Amy and Kat start with a listener voicemail that brings some unexpected joy before diving into underrated love languages that deserve more attention: consistency, attunement, vulnerability, foreplay, and nurture. They also talk about burnout…specifically, the subtle ways it shows up at work and in life. Being “the responsive one” can quietly become part of your identity and why that’s not always something to be proud of. It’s an episode about boundaries, connection, and remembering that responsiveness doesn’t equal value…in work or in love.

Are you tired of feeling constantly drained and overwhelmed by other people's stuff? What if spiritual growth didn't have to be a slow, laborious process of "digesting" heavy emotions and energy?

Most people are unconsciously absorbing, processing, and "digesting" every emotion, thought, and energetic push-and-pull they encounter—which leaves them perpetually depleted. In this episode, we're introducing a powerful, high-frequency approach: Metabolizing Energy.

Think of your soul as a sophisticated processor. Instead of slow spiritual digestion (which takes time and work to move through your body), metabolizing is the chemical process that quickly turns matter (de...

Human beings don’t deal well with uncertainty, which is why a mystery draws you in and why a cliffhanger on a TV show can keep you watching well past your bedtime. 

Your brain is wired for answers. 

Yet life is full of uncertainty. So how do we manage this tension? 

When a story is unfolding and you wonder, “how will this end?” Or when the big questions of life go unanswered and you lie awake wondering, Who is God? What am I here for? What does all of this mean?

Have you ever wondered, Does God really care about my relationship with food? Isn’t He more concerned with bigger, more spiritual things? If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone.

In this episode of What’s God Got To Do With It?, we’re tackling a topic that hits closer to home than most of us realize: our relationship with food—and why God cares about it.

This isn’t a conversation about diets, calories, or “good” vs. “bad” foods. Instead, we’re digging deeper to explore how your relationship with food is tied to your bel...

A listener writes in feeling lost at 27 after making big changes in her career, friendships, and identity, but Amy and Kat’s answer goes way beyond one age or season. They talk about what it looks like when life is “under construction”: messy, uncertain, and full of potential. Whether you’re 27 or 57, this episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t always look pretty, but it’s leading somewhere good.

Next Friday, October 10th is World Mental Health Day, and that’s why it's the perfect time to talk about the faith-brain connection, and how it has EVERYTHING to do with your own mental and emotional health.

In this next episode of The God Pod, Leanne takes you on a journey to explore the profound interplay between faith, self-image, and neuroscience. Leanne breaks down (in simple science terms) how just influencing ONE specific part of the brain (the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), or the "social brain" as she calls it) can change the game for you -- si...

The Universe is demanding your deepest commitment. Pluto, the planet of transformation, death, and rebirth, stations direct in Aquarius on October 13, 2025, after its retrograde journey since May 2nd. This shift is more than just an astrological marker; it's a monumental power surge and an evolutionary mandate to step into your highest truth.

This episode is a profound, timely deep dive into the potent Pluto in Aquarius energy (which lasts until 2043!) and how its stationing direct impacts you—especially if you have strong Aquarius or Leo placements.

What We Explore in This Episode:

What if your life was meant to feel good?

I don’t mean that in a “if you can dream it, you can do it!” kind of a way as much as I mean… what if your life—as it is—was meant to be pleasurable? 

What if you could learn to slow down enough to see every single day, every breath, every new opportunity, every inconvenience, every hiccup, even every heartbreak as an absolutely gripping reminder that you get to be here and to experience this?

If you’re like me, it’s not always easy...

Plus, Amy’s Feeling of the Day is sad, but it’s giving her some helpful information about herself and her relationship.

Do you have beliefs that are holding you back that (no matter what you try), they continue to have a stronghold on you?

In this week's episode of the God Pod, Leanne Ellington shares her personal journey of transforming beliefs through the unique intersection of where "faith meets science"...and where "science meets faith", as we start to unravel how faith and science intersect in transforming your deepest-held beliefs about yourself.

She shares a unique process to transform your own beliefs, but also takes you on a deeply introspective voyage, and candidly discusses her transition...

When you’re in the middle of your story and it appears that no resolution is on the horizon, it’s easy to assume that you must be doing something wrong. 

Maybe if you were stronger, wiser, or more "positive" you would be able to find a solution and bring your story to resolution. 

But what if the point of the story is not to resolve the story?

What if the unresolved, chaotic, painful middle of a story is exactly where you belong? 

In today’s episode I’ll talk about our very hu...

Ready for a shift? While September brought intense, logistical energy, October 2025 ushers in a new flavor. We're moving from literal lessons to a rhythmic, transformative dance. This month is about finding lightness, levity, and joy even amidst deep change.

You'll feel a powerful pull to be playful and adaptable as you navigate a paradoxical blend of intense energy and profound grace. The numerology of a 1 month in a 9 year speaks to a cycle of endings and new beginnings, requiring both forward momentum and a willingness to shed what no longer serves you.

Amy and Kat continue to unpack Dr. John Gottman’s famous ‘Four Horsemen of the apocalypse’ for relationships which has helped him be able to predict the failure or success of a relationship with a 90% accuracy rate. Week 2 is Defensiveness. It is that quick “it’s not me, it’s you” response that shows up when we think we are being criticized. Amy and Kat talk about how defensiveness sneaks in when we are stressed or protecting our ego (especially for Amy!!), and why it makes conflict worse instead of solving it. They share real-life examples, explain how even a hint of crit...

When Carley found herself constantly thinking about food—either obsessing over dieting or feeling like a failure for not being able to stick with anything—she knew something had to change. She was sick of the all-or-nothing mindset, the endless rules, and the guilt that always followed. But as the youngest woman to ever go through the Stressless Eating program, she also knew she didn’t want to carry this struggle into the rest of her life.

In this episode, Carley opens up about what it felt like to be trapped in a cycle of food obsession, why sh...

Do you ever get the feeling like you’re telling the same story over and over again? The details may change (new boss, new partner, new hometown) but the cycle of the story stays the same.

I’ll share my own experience with finding myself in this rut and talk about how to move when you’re ready to finally make an edit.

Amber sent us an email about something we’ve all felt. That little spiral when a friend takes forever to text you back and you start wondering if you did something wrong. Amy & Kat talk about how our brains love to make up stories, and how we won't know what's really going on unless we ask them. Amy immediately relates to this listener and shares her experience. They also make up some fun, new acronyms that might come in handy when you're starting to spiral. Speaking of acronyms, is it not cool to text 'lol' anymore? Apparently, it's "ick" alon...

This is the start of a 4 part series of Amy and Kat unpacking Dr. John Gottman’s famous ‘Four Horsemen of the apocalypse’ for relationships which has helped him be able to predict the failure or success of a relationship with a 90% accuracy rate. Part 1 is Criticism, the one that often shows up first and sets the tone for conflict. Amy has her own issues with getting defensive and even gets her boyfriend on the phone to confirm. Kat explains why criticism is different from a simple complaint, how it sneaks in through exaggeration, “should” statements, jokes, and tone, and why it...

Have you ever felt derailed by failure in your life? 

Perhaps it was the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, a public embarrassment, or a mistake that cost you more than you felt ready to lose. 

Or maybe you don’t experience failure much. It’s possible you tiptoe around failure, making sure that you’re never too far out on a limb so as not to fall. 

In that case, you might feel blocked or stuck, too insulated to experience failure but too protected to receive real freedom or joy. 

Are you feeling a call to let go and surrender? September is a powerful 9 universal month in a 9 universal year, a time of sacred closure and profound transformation. Join us as we explore the energy of the number 9 and its connection to karmic cycles, tapping into infinite wisdom, and refining your personal frequency.

In this episode, Amanda shares a deeply personal journey of sacred closure in a place that holds significant karma. She discusses how certain geographical locations, jobs, or even relationships can act as rites of passage, holding space for your soul's true frequency.

What do disciplining a child, teaching preschool and taking good care of yourself have in common?

The answer might surprise you. 

This week’s episode is inspired by a parenting technique that seemed too simple to actually work. But as soon as I watched this alarmingly unsophisticated tactic have wild success with my four and five year olds—and their friends—I had to ask myself: maybe there’s value in even the adults taking a break?

How long should the break be? Why is this straightforward tool so powerful?

Perhaps it has to...

Welcome to Eclipse Season! This cosmic period is all about beginnings and endings happening simultaneously, and it can initiate a powerful six-month cycle of change. While the start of this season can feel drastic or dramatic, both on a global and personal level, being aware of these energetic shifts can help you take the edge off and embrace the process.

This year, the energy is amplified by September being a "9" month in a "9" year. In numerology, the number 9 represents surrender, letting go, trusting, and acceptance, which perfectly mirrors the feeling of eclipse season. It’s a time to...

The Feeling of the Day is regret... Amy and Kat are both feeling it. Kat is second-guessing her new haircut, while Amy regrets “crashing out” on her son for eating an entire bowl of pineapple (and reminding him he really needs to diversify his fruit). In the middle of their remorse, Kat tosses out the question: What’s something you’d still do if you were only 60% good at it? They also respond to a listener's email asking what the point of the new podcast even is, and share another wild story from a listener about getting hit on at the g...

Do you ever feel an inherent tension between the pull of your creative passions and the need to pay for groceries? 

When you think about developing the more creative parts of your life and yourself, do you get stuck worrying if it's selfish, entitled, or unwise to give into these desires? 

Do you feel that your spirit gets deadened or dulled sometimes by the monotony of day to day living? 

Do you sometimes settle for following “rules” that you believe will get you stability, security and ultimately a happy life?

More than a year ago, someone recommended I read the memoir called How to Stay Married by Harrison Scott Key. It reminded them, in some ways, of my memoir from 2017 about a marriage crisis, called Indestructible.

It took me more than a year to hit “play” on the audible file, but by the time I started it, I also finished in a matter of a few days. 

The speed at which I consumed the book, however, does not necessarily reflect how I felt about the story. There are certain elements that must be present in a nar...
