    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!

    Write Your Story: Where Book Ideas Really Come From

    You might think that when you sit down to write a book, you use mostly your brain, your intellect, or your thoughts to concoct the perfect argument, the most interesting story. I believe there’s more to it than that.  I’ve written 14 books and helped hundreds of authors write, edit and publish their works and I’ve witnessed an invisible and inexplicable x factor responsible not only for bringing the idea to you, but also for growing that idea to fruition.  While I don’t know how to name this “x factor” or to define it, I have experienced it again and again and can’t imagine writing a book without it.  If you have a book you’re meant to write, maybe you don’t need to be “smart enough” or “good enough” to make it happen. Maybe all you need is to listen closely to what this “x factor” is trying to say. Host: Ally Fallon // @allyfallon // allisonfallon.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    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.

    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?

    Midlife Crisis or Just Feeling Meh? (Couch Talks)

    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.

    Meeting Ourselves Where We Are (F-Bombs and Feelings)

    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. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

    What's God Got To Do With It?: From Theory to Transformation: Becoming Your Own Surgeon

    In this final part of the series, Dr. Warren brings it all together — turning the science, the faith, and the commandments into a daily, livable, empowering practice. He shares how hope is the first dose, but action is the medicine. How transformation isn’t an event, but a series of tiny, faithful choices. And how to become the kind of person who notices, names, and rewires thoughts in real time—right in the middle of stress, uncertainty, fear, and life happening. This episode is about reclaiming agency… with God as your guide. It’s about partnering with the One who designed your brain for healing. And it’s about stepping into a version of yourself that is clearer, calmer, more grounded, and more connected to God than ever before. If you’ve ever wanted a roadmap for what inner healing looks like day-to-day, this conversation is it.

  8. Write Your Story: Why Now Is the Time to Start Writing

    31 JAN

    Write Your Story: Why Now Is the Time to Start Writing

    From the 14th floor of a hotel room in downtown Nashville while the entire city is under a layer of ice, I send you this not-so-subtle nudge to use your voice. You may have told yourself that you’d write your book “someday,” or that you aren’t a real writer anyway, or that nobody would listen to what you have to say, or that you’d speak up if you had a bigger platform.  The truth is that your words are needed now more than ever.  Regardless of your politics or life circumstances, the most effective and profound way you can join the revolution of this time is to pick up your pen and become the change you want to see in the world.  This is your benediction.
