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.

    5 Things to Say Instead of “It Will Be Okay” (Hint: Bring Cookies, Not Advice)

    When life feels loud and uncertain, “it will be okay” doesn’t always help. Amy and Kat talk about how to show up without fixing, why validation matters, and what real support looks like. They also share what they’re feeling of the day, what they're reading and watching, including immersion reading and a perimenopause documentary that sparked a conversation about hormones, relationships, and why everything can feel turned way up. Amy reflects on her divorce, what perimenopause may (or may not) have influenced, and why understanding your body matters. Plus, a heartfelt voicemail from a listener in Alberta reminds them why the randomness, laughter, and everyday conversations matter...especially in hard seasons. 5 Things to Say Instead of “It Will Be Okay”: 1. “Gosh, this sounds hard.”Lead with validation instead of solutions. Naming how difficult something feels helps people feel seen rather than fixed. 2. “What do you need from me right now?”Before giving advice, check in. Sometimes people want help, sometimes they just want to be heard...and they may not even know yet. 3. “Sounds like you’re having a very human reaction.”Normalize their response. Fear, anger, sadness, and overwhelm are often appropriate reactions...not signs something is wrong with them. 4. “I don’t know the right thing to say, but I’m here.”Be honest and present. You don’t need the perfect words to offer support...your presence matters more than certainty. 5. “I’m bringing you over cookies.”When asking what someone needs feels like too much, take the guesswork out and do something tangible. Care doesn’t have to be complicated. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE! (FeelingThingsPodcast.com) Sign up for the Feeling Things newsletter HERE! Watch us on Youtube HERE!

    What's God Got To Do With It?: The Spiritual Cost of Food and Body Fixation

    You think your struggle with food is about willpower. Or that your body image issues are just about confidence. But what if the real cost isn’t on the scale, but it’s actually in your spirit? In this powerful episode, Leanne Ellington pulls back the curtain on what food and body obsession is really stealing from you. From missed moments with your kids to constant inner criticism and spiritual disconnection, she exposes how fixation around food and your body hijacks your peace, your presence, and your identity. But this isn’t just about the pain. It’s about the pathway to healing. Leanne reveals how your brain was designed by God to heal, and introduces the science behind how that healing actually happens—through identity rewiring, spiritual renewal, and working WITH your brain instead of against it. This episode will help you:- Understand how food and body obsession hijacks your God-given peace, rewires your brain for fear and shame, and drains your spiritual bandwidth- Finally put words to the invisible war you’ve been fighting—between your faith and your fixation, your logic and your longings- See why white-knuckling through cravings or repeating “I love my body” in the mirror won’t work if your nervous system still feels unsafe—and what to do instead to rewire it at the root Because God doesn’t just want your body free. He wants you free.

  3. Soul Sessions: The Moment That Changes Everything (Saturn & Neptune in Aries)

    Soul Sessions: The Moment That Changes Everything (Saturn & Neptune in Aries)

    On February 20th, we hit a historic threshold. As Saturn and Neptune conjunct at the Zero Point of Aries, the cosmic "fog" of the last few years is finally lifting—but it’s leaving us with a heavy ultimatum: Your intentions are no longer enough. Since 2023, many of us have been swimming in the "Pisces soup"—dealing with exhaustion, escapism, and the loud whispers of the subconscious. We’ve had the dreams, but perhaps not the infrastructure. That ends now. As the planet of structure (Saturn) meets the planet of mysticism (Neptune) at the beginning of the zodiac, the universe is demanding Aligned Action. In this episode/video, we dive deep into: The 0° Aries Significance: Why this "Zero Point" is a global game-changer. From 2012 to Today: How the psychic field opening in 2012 led us to this moment of "Holy Surrender." The Death of the Fantasy: Why we must stop negotiating with our illusions and pick a lane. The Shadow Side: Navigating the "Crazymaking" energy, tyrants, and the lack of compassion in a fiery Aries season. The Spiritual Warrior: How to stand in integrity and use courage as the alchemy for fear. The Question for This New Era: If someone had X-ray vision into your soul, would your external life match your internal truth? It’s time to marry your intention with initiation. Key Dates to Watch: Jan 26: Neptune enters Aries Feb 14: Saturn enters Aries Feb 20: The Conjunction (The Bridge to the New Timeline)   Want to dive deeper into February’s Astrology & Numerology and what this energy means for you?
