Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

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.

    Leslie is sending Amy & Kat into their friends trip with two book recommendations…a gripping mystery that's hard to put down, and a thought-provoking story about women in the 1960s (which Amy was excited about because she already ordered that book!!) Then, a listener (we’ll call her B) needs advice on something so many of us have faced: how do you quietly distance yourself from a friendship that's draining you…especially when the kids are involved and the texts keep coming?

    Soul Sessions: Why We Look Outside Ourselves for Truth

    Why do we keep assuming someone else knows better than we do? In this episode, Amanda Rieger Green dives deep into our collective "external hunger"—the pervasive habit of looking outside ourselves for answers, validation, and truth. Whether we are looking to experts, influencers, institutions, or even AI, human beings are constantly seeking external certainty to escape the discomfort of the unknown. But the truth is, we don't need more information; we need a completely new way to relate to what we already know. Pulling insight from the Gene Keys, we explore how grasping for answers keeps our consciousness in a state of "dullness." When we finally loosen our grip on trying to control outcomes, we unlock a magnetic, fluorescent energy within. As the pace of global intelligence and technology accelerates into July and August, our physical bodies and nervous systems are carrying a heavy load. This episode is an invitation to pause, ground, and learn how to float in the uncertainty rather than swim upstream. In this episode, we dive into: The Illusion of the External Expert: Why we assume truth lives at the top of the pyramid. Information vs. Relief: Recognizing when your mind is grasping vs. when your soul needs grounding. Gene Keys Insight: Shifting your consciousness from Dullness to Fluorescence. Nervous System Calibration: Giving your physical body credit for navigating this unprecedented evolutionary speed. Summer Energy Care: Concrete, simple somatic practices to clean and clear your energy field for July and August. The Power of Being Witnessed: Why we cannot walk through this global shift alone.   Host: Amanda Rieger Green Subscribe to Amanda's YouTube HERE!

    Write Your Story: Stop Trying to Make It Good

    One of the primary reasons creatives stay stuck is that we are trying hard to make something “good” I tell aspiring authors I coach that the fastest way to write something terrible is to sit down hoping to write something amazing. Something profound. Something worth reading. Instead, if you sit down intending to tell the truth, the truth will take you exactly where you need to go. It might be messy. It might be painful. It might not inspire millions or make you famous. (Or to your great horror, it might).  But it might become something more than you could have even dreamed about — because it was beyond your consciousness.  Let go of trying to be good / make it good. Instead follow the inspiration, tell the truth, and trust what unfolds. Host: Ally Fallon // @allyfallon // allisonfallon.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    What's God Got To Do With It?: How to Rewire Your Brain in Minutes, Not Years [With Neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren]

    What if you didn't have to manage your anxiety, your trauma, your patterns for the rest of your life? What if you could actually repair the root problem—and move on? In this final episode of our series, Dr. Lee Warren and I talk about the solution. The shift from "holding pressure on the wound forever" to actually stitching it up and letting it heal. The shift from symptom management to root repair. The shift from spending years in therapy just managing to actually becoming the surgeon of your own mind. Dr. Warren explains the consent-to-automate sequence—the missing piece that most mental health approaches don't teach. It's the moment your brain asks for permission to automate a thought, feeling, or reaction. And once you learn to spot that moment, you can withhold consent and install a better automation instead. The brain rewires in seconds to minutes—not years. But here's the key: it's not just about changing your thoughts. It's about rewiring your self-image—the subconscious beliefs that are running the show. Because if your self-image undermines what Scripture says about you, you'll keep defaulting to the old patterns no matter how hard you try. We tie it all back to Ephesians 4, where Paul talks about being "renewed in the spirit of your mind." He wasn't saying "manage your old self forever." He was saying "put on the new self"—an actual identity-level transformation. And that's exactly what Self-Brain Surgery makes possible. This episode is the hopeful one. The practical one. The one that shows you how to stop managing and start repairing. If you're ready to move on with your life, this is the conversation you've been waiting for.

    What's God Got To Do With It? Why Focusing on Your Problems Makes Them Worse [With Neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren]

    What if the very thing mental health culture tells you to do—focus on your trauma, honor your feelings, explore your pain—is actually reinforcing the patterns that are keeping you stuck? In this episode, Dr. Lee Warren and I tackle one of the most controversial (and most important) truths about how the brain works: where you put your attention literally shapes your reality. What you focus on expands. And if you're spending years focusing on your trauma, your pain, your "broken" parts, you're training your brain to keep running those patterns. We talk about the observer effect from quantum physics, how the ACC (the social-emotional brain) operates at the subconscious level, and why your beliefs have to align with what Scripture says about you—not just intellectually, but at the deepest level where your brain is automating your identity. This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending the pain isn't real. It's about understanding that constantly rehearsing "I AM anxious, I AM broken, I AM not enough" is literally giving your brain permission to keep being that. And there's a better way. If you've ever felt like you've been "working on yourself" for years but you're still stuck in the same patterns, this episode will show you why—and what needs to shift.

    Soul Sessions: Why the Next 3 Months Matter So Much (Summer Energy Update)

    The game is changing, the rules are changing, and this summer is asking you to show up as an embodied spiritual human being. In this Summer Energy Update, Amanda Rieger Green dives deep into the profound evolutionary period taking place over June, July, and August. This season isn't about frantically chasing future goals—it's about conscious participation in who you are becoming right now. Amanda breaks down the unique energetic signature of the months ahead: June: Revelation — A time for internal honesty, deep awareness, and trusting your truth. July: Strength — Finding energetic resilience and staying anchored as things accelerate. August: The Reckoning — Closing old doors while simultaneously stepping into a brand-new chapter. We also explore the curious astrology at play, including Chiron moving into Taurus, and how to navigate the noise of a rapidly changing world without abandoning yourself.  Stop waiting for certainty. It's time to trade the "human doing" for the "human being" and step into greater self-leadership. Who are you becoming? The next 3 months matter.

    When Opposites Attract, The Sudoku Packing Method & More (Couch Talks)

    Amber from Austin is newly married and in a pre-trip standoff…she packs last-minute, her husband packs very early, and the tension gets real before they even leave the house. Amy & Kat travel together and they are VERY different travelers…they talk through finding a middle ground. Then, Amy shares a tip: the Sudoku Packing Method, a 3x3 capsule wardrobe grid that promises 27+ outfit combos from just 9 items that she keeps seeing in her FYP on Instagram. Plus, a voicemail from Darrel, who lost her husband 17 months ago and found unexpected healing and laughter in our episodes…she also gives us an epic quote: “Have the fart you need to have.” Haha.  Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

    Is Your Brain Gaslighting You? Plus Why Women Need 47 Minutes of THIS Each Day

    Kat is feeling pumped and Amy is feeling shooketh because her son made coffee at church with his friends this morning like it was nothing. He's graduating in 2030 and apparently drinks coffee now…cool. Amy shares a study that found that women feel most fulfilled in their relationships when they get 47 minutes of undivided attention from their partner each day. And then Kat goes over some cognitive biases…the halo effect, the sunk cost fallacy, confirmation bias, zero sum bias, and a few others that will make you look at your own thinking a little differently. Some of these you already do without realizing it and once you see them you can't unsee them. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

    What's God Got To Do With It? Why Mental Health Is Getting Worse (Even Though We're Trying Harder)

    We have more mental health resources, more awareness, more support than ever before. So why are anxiety, depression, and suicide rates at all-time highs? In this first episode of our brand-new Spiritual Brain Surgery series, Dr. Lee Warren and I dive into the paradox that's plaguing our culture: more help, worse outcomes. We unpack the stats, explore what's missing from the current mental health model, and ask the hard question: what if the foundation itself is incomplete? Dr. Warren explains why most mental health approaches are built on theory, not on how the brain actually works. We talk about the difference between managing symptoms forever and actually repairing the root problem. And we dig into why knowing the "why" behind your patterns isn't enough if your subconscious self-image is still running the old story. Here's the truth: if your beliefs and self-image undermine what Scripture says about you, it doesn't matter how much therapy you've done or how much you intellectually "know." Your brain will keep automating the old patterns until you learn how to interrupt them at the root. This episode is the foundation for everything we're going to unpack in this series. If you've ever felt stuck—like you're doing all the "right things" but nothing's actually changing—this conversation will show you why, and what's missing.

    Write Your Story: You Have Permission to Get It Wrong

    I don’t know about you but I have a hard time being wrong.  I like to have all my ducks in a row, all my affairs in order, all my t’s crossed and i’s dotted so that nobody can ever come after me for not being intelligent or prepared.  But I’m learning this obsession with being right is getting in the way.    Of my creativity.  Of my love.  Of my ability to grow.    So this week’s episode is exploring the permission to get it wrong.  To mess it up, fail, falter and fall apart.  Until you have permission to get it wrong, you don’t have permission to do much of anything worth doing. So let’s get started.    Host: Ally Fallon // @allyfallon // allisonfallon.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Soul Sessions: Finding Your Anchor in the Void

    Does it feel like you’re navigating life with a blindfold on and your hands outstretched? We are at a massive precipice in humanity and in our personal soul journeys—a true point of no return where the energy is accelerating faster than our minds can process. If you feel present but simultaneously lost, you are not alone. In this transmission, we are exploring what it means to be human, embodied, and radically authentic during a time of rapid technological, cultural, and relational change. We dive into the profound difference between Purpose (linear, finite, goal-oriented) and Meaning (fluid, vast, and evolving), and why what anchored you three years ago simply will not work today. We also unpack the massive cosmic currents rewiring our collective consciousness right now: - The 1 Universal Year / 10 Year Cycle: Paving a brand new frontier, pioneering a new path, and outgrowing the versions of ourselves that no longer fit. - Uranus in Gemini (The next 7 years): The electric, shocking, and fast-paced energy of awakening that is literally rewiring how we communicate, process information, and connect. - The Power of Physical Symptoms: Understanding how anxiety, overwhelm, or physical pain are actually acting as energetic anchoring points for your soul’s evolution. The summer months ahead (June, July, and August) hold profound astrology that will set massive, irreversible changes in motion. It’s time to find what tethers you to your evolving meaning, step into the future human version of yourself, and invite more light into your physical vessel.   Additional Resources:  COMMUNITY: Ready to go deeper?

    The Grass Is Browner, Dying Wishes, Signs From Above, and Your Brain Is Lying To You (Couch Talks)

    Listener Elizabeth writes in about something a lot of people feel but don't say out loud. She's 40-ish, a mom, financially stable, and can't shake the feeling that she should have more by now. She’s curious about the jealousy she feels, the guilt about the jealousy, and how she can make peace with the roads she didn't take. Kat asks the question: What is your dying wish? A beloved car wash owner in Detroit had one dying wish, to make it rain cash from a helicopter over his community one last time. His sons made it happen at his funeral. It also triggered an FAA investigation…but it’s still pretty cool!  Sam from Boston calls in with a sign story that’ll give you chills. Her father-in-law passed away…but he sent a very special sign to the family that he’s still around. Love it!

    Kat is down with a sore throat, a lost voice, an ear infection, and a baby on board all at the same time, so please send her all the love. Amy is feeling grateful today because when Kat couldn't record, she reached out to one of her favorite humans to fill in.

    Solo-Maxxing, Flirting Instead of Complaining, and Voicemails That'll Make You Laugh

    Feelings of the day are torn, confused, excited, and pumped! After they go over the reasons behind all of these feelings, Kat then talks to Amy about the "solo-maxxing" trend, which is the growing movement of people actively choosing to stay single and actually thriving because of it. Then Amy goes over a list of subtle shifts women can make to get a man to play the long game. Some of these are genius. Some of them we would never do. What’s in Amy’s algorithm: a man that spent six years watching nearly 2,000 episodes of Wheel of Fortune to figure out whether husbands who publicly compliment their wives stay married longer. The results are wild. Plus the story of a woman who texted her late father figure's phone number for four years without knowing it had been reassigned, and what happened when the new owner finally wrote back.

    Write Your Story: What Your Creative Resistance Says About You (Hint: It’s Not What You Think)

    Do you ever feel like you’d be more creative if you were simply more disciplined?  Like you need to get your life together to get some creative work done? That if only your proverbial ducks were in a row, then you’d have access to the creative genius you’ve always imagined? What if the opposite is true? In today’s episode, I explore the relationship between creative resistance (procrastination, laziness, lack of discipline, being “stuck”) and creativity itself. And my take is this: maybe you don’t need to be more disciplined to be more creative. Maybe you need to accept the power of procrastination for what it is: an open door to your creative longings. Join me to unlock a radical acceptance of your laziness, your messiness, your procrastination, your avoidance, your hesitation and even your self-doubt.  What if they all belong?   Buy Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way here.

    Soul Sessions: June 2026 Energy Forecast: Revelations & Reckonings

    June 2026 is a curious, intense, and profoundly internal month setting the stage for massive external disruptions later this summer. In this episode, we break down the June energy forecast, exploring the potent 1+7 numerology frequency that brings a massive psychic awakening—along with a heavy shadow of isolation and delusion. We discuss the major astrological shifts, including Chiron entering Taurus (initiating a new 7-year collective wound around money and worth), Uranus squaring the Nodes, and a late-month Mercury Retrograde. This month is a point of no return: stop keeping secrets, tend to your nervous system, and find the community that enriches your soul.

    What's God Got To Do With It? Why Your Teen Doesn’t Know Who They Are Anymore (And How to Help Them Build a Self-Image That Won’t Crumble)

    In this final episode of the Teenager Brain series, Leanne dives into the root of it all: the identity crisis. Teens today don't have a stable sense of self. They don't know who they are, what they value, or what they stand for. And their sense of self rises and falls with every like, every comment, every comparison. One day they're confident. The next day they're convinced they're not enough. And you're watching it happen—not knowing how to help them. Here's what makes it even worse: Nobody knows what's real anymore. Your teen is scrolling Instagram, comparing themselves to someone's "perfect" skin—but they don't know it's a filter. They're comparing themselves to someone's "perfect" body—but they don't know it's AI-generated or Photoshopped. They're measuring themselves against a standard that doesn't even exist. Their self-image is being shaped by lies. By filters. By comparison culture. And they have no stable sense of who they are. But here's the good news: We can teach students how to build a self-image that's rooted in internal truth—not external validation. Leanne peels back the curtain on the 4-step system taught inside the Teenager Brain curriculum—the system that builds emotional fitness, which builds emotional resilience: Step 1: Regulate – Go from panic to calm in under 30 secondsStep 2: Separate – Separate truth from lies, data from dramaStep 3: Narrate – Take ownership of your story instead of letting your brain spin worst-case scenariosStep 4: Use Your Inner Compass – Build a self-image rooted in who you are, not what the world says about you This is what happens when we teach students the 4-step system. Not perfection. Not eliminating hard things. Just giving students the tools to build emotional fitness—which builds emotional resilience—before these patterns become decades of struggle. Ready to bring these tools to your school or teen? Head over to TeenagerBrain.com to request a free sample lesson. You'll see exactly how the Teenager Brain curriculum works and test-drive a full lesson from the perspective of both the student and the facilitator. We're looking for our next 25 pilot schools for Fall 2026. This is a 4-week plug-and-play emotional fitness program that teaches students how to regulate their emotions, separate truth from lies, and build a self-image that lasts—without adding to your workload. The window is open. Their brains are ready. The time is now.

    Your Questions, Our Answers: Friendship, ADHD, Al-Anon & More (Couch Talks)

    Amy & Kat answer questions from listeners about how to handle growing distant from friends you don't want to lose, how to maintain a friendship when you're in completely different stages of life, Amy’s experience with Al-Anon for someone that’s curious about it, book recommendations, their favorite ADHD hacks, and what happened with Amy and her boyfriend. They also read two listener emails: Mahaya from Oklahoma shares a book that might change how you think about uncertainty and decision making, and Emily from North Carolina writes in after finishing The Correspondent with the kind of email that reminds us why we do this.

    Weird Things People Do That Are In Love, The 10-Minute Tan & More

    Love makes people do weird things and we're getting into all of it. Biting, tickling, farting, and whatever else happens when you're truly comfortable with someone. Plus, Kat is feeling grateful for the overwhelming sunscreen recommendations that came flooding in, and Amy is in a full good mood thanks to a new 10-minute self tanner that changed everything. Then... dumpster diving. A mom and daughter hit the jackpot behind Home Goods and walked away with a car full of brand new items, tags still on, completely free. Area rugs, ceramic vases, fleece blankets, baking dishes. They go over a list and the pro tips you need if you want to try it yourself. Sunday is apparently the day to go! And listener Susan from Austin writes in with a beautiful note, a baby name idea for Kat, a Canyon Ranch recommendation, and the kind of encouragement that reminds you why we do this.

    Purity Hot Tubs & Insults To Keep In Your Back Pocket (Couch Talks)

    Amy’s algorithm exposed her to purity culture hot tubs with worship music…which led to Kat sharing her algorithm…it’s all pregnancy and baby stuff all the time (i.e. Kylie Jenner gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy.) Amy went over a list of insults so intelligent you don’t realize you’ve been roasted until a few thoughts later. Sam from Boston called in sharing her go-bag hack for contact lens wearers, and Heidi emailed giving us the full mineral sunscreen download after three years of family testing.

    Is Your Phone Making You Less Attractive? Also, Your Texting Habits Reveal More Than You Think

    Kat’s feeling excited and Amy’s feeling thankful! Amy also gets real about a candid confession from an ex who called her out for being on her phone too much during their relationship, which leads perfectly into the episode's first big topic. They break down exactly what your "OK" texts say about you. Whether you're sending a firm "OK." with a period, a passive-aggressive thumbs up, or a flirty "OKAYYY," your texting habits reveal more than you think. That conversation opens the door to a fascinating new study on phubbing, the habit of ignoring the people in front of you in favor of your phone, and how putting your device down can actually make you more attractive, warmer, and more likable to the people around you. On a lighter note, Amy and Kat make a case for bringing back the lost art of popping in on your friends, because sometimes the best hangs are the ones nobody planned. They also tease a potential vacation together and share a genius travel hack for scoring deeply discounted trips on reservations that other people had to give up. And finally, a listener named Ashleigh from Georgia calls in with an important food safety PSA: those frozen peas you've been tossing straight into your seven-layer salad? Yeah, you need to cook them first. Consider yourselves warned. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE! (FeelingThingsPodcast.com) Sign up for the Feeling Things newsletter HERE!

    Write Your Story: On Creativity and Capitalism

    Can you make money from your creativity? Of course.  But does capitalism get in the way of your creativity? Also, I will argue, yes.  On today’s episode I take up a conversation that has been going on for centuries: a conversation about the tension between art and commerce.   Or as I will call it: creativity and capitalism. Except this time I take the conversation beyond how to create a beautiful thing detached from revenue to discuss how to live a life from a place of utter truth and authenticity, which is the ultimate pillar of creativity.  In a world obsessed with the bottom line, this isn’t easy but it’s more important than ever.  Link to Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way HERE!

    Soul Sessions: How to Heal Your Throat Chakra and Speak Your Truth

    Unlock the power of your pure tone. In this episode of our chakra deep dive, we explore the Throat Chakra —the gateway of manifestation and the seat of your authentic frequency. It is about more than just the words you speak; it is the voice inside your head, the perspective you hold, and the magic you weave into your physical reality. We discuss how to move past the "internal programs" of self-doubt and scarcity to find the gravitas and magnetism that come from speaking your truth. From the physical connections of the jaw, neck, and ears to the upcoming shifts of Uranus in Gemini, we cover how to calibrate your communication for the new age of intuition. In this episode, we cover: The Anatomy of the Throat: Why neck pain, jaw tension, and ear issues are linked to your expression. Internal vs. External Voice: Identifying the "fear voice" and returning to your soul’s pure tone. Imbalance Triggers: How people-pleasing, over-explaining, and social anxiety block your frequency. The 3 Checkpoints: A powerful tool to use before you speak to ensure clarity and alignment. Epigenetics & Frequency: How your cells respond to the vibrations of your thoughts and words. The Magic of Authenticity: Using words as an inexhaustible source of healing and transformation. Journaling Prompt for this Week: Where am I speaking from my pure tone, and where am I still editing my truth to manage others? Additional Resources:  Ready to go deeper?

    What’s God Got To Do With It?: Why Your Teen’s Emotions Are All Over the Place (And What’s Really Happening in Their Brain) [Teenager Brain Series Part 4]

    In this episode, Leanne dives into emotional dysregulation—why your teen melts down over the smallest things and can't bring themselves back down. When a teen experiences something that feels threatening, stressful, or overwhelming, their brain's alarm system (the amygdala) goes off and sends them into fight-or-flight mode. Their heart rate spikes, their breathing gets shallow, and their prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for rational thinking and emotional regulation—goes offline. That's why your teen can't "just calm down" when you tell them to. Their "sound mind" is literally offline. And here's the thing: In teenagers, the prefrontal cortex is still under construction. It's not fully developed until around age 25. So when a teen's brain goes into fight-or-flight, it's even harder for them to bring themselves back down. But here's the good news: We can teach students how to regulate their nervous system. We can teach them how to go from fight-or-flight to calm in under 30 seconds. Even if they've never been able to calm down before. Even if meditation doesn't work for them. The way we teach it at Teenager Brain is different—it's a foolproof way to access the nervous system through the sensory system, and anyone can do it. Leanne shares powerful examples of what changes when students learn to regulate—from handling friend drama without spiraling, to processing a bad grade without melting down, to navigating social media rejection without falling apart. This is what happens when we teach students how to regulate their nervous system. Not perfection. Not eliminating hard things. Just giving students the tools to process their emotions, respond instead of react, and be emotionally available to themselves.

    Are You a Hummingbird or Jackhammer? The Answer Could Help Find Your Passion (Couch Talks)

    Whitney writes in raving about Jones Road Beauty's Miracle Balm and What the Foundation. Amy shares she’s obsessing over her new face tanner, SaltyFace. Listener Corin shares a hilarious and heartwarming story about raising her daughters with open period conversations…including her 12-year-old's unforgettable suggestion to practice tampon use with a drilled watermelon. And Heather, calling in from Canada at 53, weighs in on a recent hot topic: naming your daughter after yourself. Then, Amy and Kat dive into Elizabeth Gilbert's (Eat, Pray, Love) fascinating "Hummingbird vs. Jackhammer" theory…are you someone who laser-focuses on one passion for life, or do you flit from interest to interest, collecting experiences along the way? Neither path is wrong, and the answer just might help you find exactly where you're supposed to be. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

    Signs You're Spiraling & Why We All Need a Weenie Stick

    Amy and Kat are feeling wow'd, worried, and relieved. Amy’s Aura Ring is flagging mild stress and Kat has a new scary TV show rec: Widows Bay. Amy wants to know: What are you loving right now? Email or call…we want to know what you’re loving!! Her current obsession is green peas, so the bar is low. Surprisingly, peas have impressive health benefits. Kat shares that she’s loving frozen mango cubes. Pro Tip: Let them sit out of the freezer for about 5 minutes and then eat. A caller from Spicewood, Texas checks in with her home defense strategy…which includes a .38 caliber, bear spray, and as a child, a stick she called a weenie stick for reasons that are exactly what you think. Naturally, now we all need a weenie stick by our beds at night. They also get into signs you’re spiraling, the origin story of the bendy straw, a voicemail about the Chick-fil-A protein hack and another voicemail that reminds us that childhood trauma is more universal than we think.  Have the day you need to have!   Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

    Soul Sessions: Stop Bypassing Your Emotions: Clear Your Heart & Reclaim Your Agency

    Do you want to clearly express who you are, process your feelings and emotions, and be able to engage with the world in a way that is grounded but also clear, meaningful, and purposeful? This week, we move from the fluid, emotional depths of the sacral into the Heart Chakra—the sacred bridge between our physical reality and our highest consciousness. Right now, we are collectively being asked to move from the "Human Doing" back into the "Human Being." In this episode of Soul Sessions, Amanda explores how the heart is far more than just a center for kindness; it is an electromagnetic powerhouse and the gateway to 5th Dimensional energy. When we clear the heart, we stop living from our conditioning and start living from our essence, allowing manifestation to click into place with multi-dimensional speed. This episode explores: The Bridge Between Worlds: Understanding the heart as the meeting place between your lower physical chakras and your upper spiritual centers. The Paradox of Expansion: Why touching your deepest pain and suppressed sadness is the exact key to experiencing infinite love and oneness. Human Being vs. Human Doing: Shifting from the "administration" of your life to the legacy of your soul. Why are you really here? The DNA of the Heart: The physical connection between the heart’s anatomy, your DNA, and how breathing into your chest clears the pineal gland to activate intuition. Breaking Time and Space: How to recognize those "glitch in the matrix" moments of pure bliss where the 5D frequency takes over. Clearing the Log Jam: How to identify ancestral, karmic, and genetic conditioning that manifests as tension in the ribs, lungs, and thoracic spine. The Witness Effect: The science of "Paying it Forward" and why witnessing kindness provides a bigger energetic spike than even receiving it. WORK WITH THIS EPISODE For the next 7 days, focus on the bridge of your Heart Chakra: The 4-Second Inhalation: Inhale deeply through your nose for 4 seconds. Feel your chest expand and visualize your spinal fluid traveling from your sacrum up into your brain, washing your pineal gland and clearing the "log jam." Body Awareness: Notice any tightness in your intercostal muscles (between the ribs), shoulder blades, or chest. When you feel tension, acknowledge the emotion behind it—whether it’s sadness or joy—without bypassing it. Acts of High Frequency: Perform one random act of kindness with "no strings attached." Notice how the energetic exchange shifts your frequency and the frequency of those who witness it. Visualize Emerald Green: During your morning routine, envision a vibrant green light (Jade or Emerald) emanating from your chest, acting as a signal to the field that you are open to receive and ready to lead from love. Reclaim your agency and authority by standing in your truth—whether that is the weight of sadness or the radiance of joy.  By refusing to bypass your emotions, you bridge the gap to the mystical and the otherworldly. Embrace your frequency, live it honestly, and watch how it transforms everything you touch! Additional Resources:  Ready to go deeper?

    What's God Got To Do With It? Why Your Teen Can’t Focus Anymore (The Dopamine Addiction No One’s Talking About) [Teenager Brain Series Part 3]

    In this episode, Leanne exposes the attention crisis that's affecting every single teenager right now—and reveals what social media platforms know about teen brains that most parents and educators don't. The average teen now spends between four and five hours a day on social media. And teens who spend three or more hours a day have double the risk of anxiety and depression. Heavily addicted younger teens show two to three times the risk of suicidal behavior. But it's not just about the time. It's about how their brain is interacting with the content. Every swipe, every like, every new video delivers a hit of dopamine—the "feel good" neurotransmitter. And over time, the teenage brain learns to crave that dopamine hit. It becomes addicted to the scroll. And when the scroll stops, the brain goes into withdrawal. Leanne breaks down the three major forces rewiring teenage brains: dopamine dysregulation, chronic distraction and the death of deep focus, and comparison culture that ties self-worth to external validation. But here's the good news: Dopamine dysregulation can be reversed. Attention can be retrained. And self-worth can be rebuilt from the inside out. Leanne shares powerful examples of what changes when students learn to notice the dopamine trap, separate their worth from their likes, and retrain their attention—so they're not slaves to the scroll anymore.

    Write Your Story: Listen to your life. She Is speaking.

    When you are in a situation that is uncomfortable or unwanted — a job, a relationship, a season of grief or pain — the tendency is to push that experience away.    You look for a way out. You look for a solution.  You look for a quick fix.  You look for an escape door.    But this event or experience has something it wants to show you. It is teaching you.  Picture this event in your life as a loving friend, leaning in to whisper something important. Something intimate. Something you might be afraid to hear… But something that will change your life forever.  Will you listen? Or will you plug your ears?

    Coffee Creamer, Dance Parties & Why the Small Stuff Is Actually Everything (Couch Talks)

    After sharing listener Taylor's incredible 300-day deployment update last week, she wrote in again with more details on what finding herself actually looked like, and it is the most practical and beautiful list. Her dad also sent in a sweet note about her, and we think that is just the sweetest thing ever. Taylor mentions "grace" in her update, which reminds Amy of the blog post her sister Cristi wrote about grace many years ago when they had a blog together. Amy reads the post inspired by their mom's death and a nearly empty bottle of soap called Pure Grace. Plus a listener named Amy from Fort Gibson, Oklahoma has had a reminder in her phone since August of 2025 to share her egg story, and she finally called in. And fun fact: babies apparently smile in the womb when their moms eat carrots and scowl when they eat kale, which honestly tracks. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

    How to Not Get Murdered, Walking in on Your Parents & The Chick-fil-a Protein Bar

    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 murdered by a serial killer’ part of this episode.

    Soul Sessions: May Energy Forecast: Why Your Limitations are Actually Instructions

    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 stationing retrograde and Mars entering a harsh square with Pluto at the end of the month, May is a call to put on your own oxygen mask first so you can show up without resentment. In this forecast, we discuss: The Power of the 6 & 1 Numerology: Why personal responsibility is the key to your health and happiness this month. Astrology Deep Dive: Navigating the Scorpio Full Moon, Uranus in Gemini’s impact on your nervous system, and the "lay low" dates for the Mars-Pluto square (May 25–27). Relationship Discernment: How to identify where you are over-giving and how to invite true symbiosis and joy back into your life. Honoring Limitations: Why your boundaries aren't failures—they are instructions for your future self. May is the month to be the "Oak Tree": Deeply rooted in the earth, yet reaching toward the sky.

    Write Your Story: Stop Thinking About Your Audience

    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 I think this through in real time and follow along as I try once again to find the creative spark that often gets buried by what we think other people want.    Host: Ally Fallon // @allyfallon // allisonfallon.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    What's God Got To Do With It? Your Teen Is Struggling…But the School Can't Help Them (And It's Not Their Fault)

    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, leading to record burnout rates. 60% of teens who receive mental health support get it exclusively at school. So when the system is overwhelmed, students fall through the cracks—and parents feel stuck with nowhere to turn. Leanne pulls back the curtain on what's really happening in schools, why teachers and administrators are drowning despite working their butts off, and why this is a systemic problem no one could have seen coming. But here's the good news: There IS a solution. And it doesn't require hiring more counselors, years of therapy, or overhauling the entire system. It just requires teaching students the tools to regulate themselves. Leanne shares real examples of what changes when students learn to regulate their emotions in under 30 seconds, separate data from drama, and build a self-image that doesn't crumble—so parents and teachers aren't carrying it all.

    Thriving Not Just Surviving & What To Do When Your Boss Overshares (Couch Talks)

    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 Gerald R Ford which just set the record for the longest deployment since Vietnam. She wrote in last year with a game plan to not just survive but thrive and she is writing back to say the Lord answered that prayer…300 days later! Her words at the end of this email are something everyone needs to hear whether you are in a hard season or not. Here’s part of the email that Taylor left that we loved: “I am so sorry this is part of your story. I know it seems scary.. AND you were made for this. This season will be a gift because it will force you to see what really matters and you’ll get to build your life around it. Feel the feelings and also if you can have any joy or fun in your day- fight for it. It’s good for you. Don’t wait for this season to end to enjoy life.. you are strong enough to do both.. to face this hard thing and enjoy your life while doing it. It’s okay to say no and honor your limitations, it’s even better to let people in to help you. You have what it takes to do this, because it doesn’t have to be done perfectly, you just have to show up. There will be hard moments but they will not last. So grieve the season’s pain, and get up and face the day. HAVE THE DAY YOU NEED TO HAVE. And you may just find out that this season turned you into the person you wanted to be all along.” Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

    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 praying the Lord's Prayer every single day for a year will genuinely surprise you…from this The Prayer Experiment was born. The Prayer Experiment is a book for anyone who has ever felt like they don't pray right, given up because prayer felt dry and formulaic, or quietly wondered if it even makes a difference. Matt weaves together biblical teaching, honest personal stories, and a little Aussie humor to explore each phrase of the Lord's Prayer. It includes a thirty day guide to help you build a prayer practice that actually sticks. The surprising truth? You never outgrow the Lord's Prayer. It is simple enough for a child, deep enough for a theologian, and strong enough to hold you for a lifetime.

    Signs Your Friendship Feels Like Home & Will Amy’s Oura Ring Keep Her Single?

    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 called Play 9 that might be their new favorite thing. A comment made about Amy talking with her hands a lot on an IG live sparks a chat about policing our own thoughts. Plus a list of signs that a friendship feels like home and whether Amy and Kat's friendship checks all the boxes. And new research from Oxford shows most women have about five close friends and what happens to that number when a new relationship comes along. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

    Write Your Story: The Antidote to the Cult Mentality Is Closer Than You Think

    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 would otherwise find abhorrent.  Most distressingly, none of us are immune. These tactics are common and effective.  And they are deployed all around us, as we speak.  So how do we stay in our power? On today’s episode, I share what I’ve learned from many years of working with writers and the powerful tool for accessing agency that is at your fingertips perpetually, no matter who you are.  Host: Ally Fallon // @allyfallon // allisonfallon.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Soul Sessions: What Are You Unconsciously Broadcasting? (& How to Reclaim Your Power)

    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 higher consciousness. What many experience as chronic inflammation, adrenal fatigue, or "foot-in-mouth" syndrome is often a Solar Plexus struggling to metabolize the world around it. In this episode of Soul Sessions, Amanda explores the "Mighty I Am." Because when you master your seat of power, you stop outsourcing your resourcefulness to others and start magnetizing your reality from the inside out. This episode explores: --The Seat of Personal Power: Understanding the Solar Plexus as your calibration point for consciousness and manifestation. --Metabolizing Life: How your gut isn’t just digesting food—it’s digesting your environment, your experiences, and your day-to-day interactions. --Fear as a Distortion: Identifying the two primary fear programs—the fear of losing what you have and the fear of not getting what you want. --The Gut-Brain Connection: The science of serotonin in the gut and how unconscious programming lives in your digestive center. --Agency vs. Powerlessness: Reclaiming your ability to choose, change your mind, and take personal responsibility for your actions and attitudes. --The Physical Toll: How Solar Plexus imbalances manifest as chronic inflammation, adrenal strain, and weight fluctuations. --The Internal Broadcast: Auditing the "shadow" dialogue—what are you unconsciously broadcasting to the world through your fears?   WORK WITH THIS EPISODE For the next 7 days, focus on your Solar Plexus to shift from reaction to agency: --The Fear Audit: Ask yourself daily: "What am I afraid of right now?" and "Is scarcity shaping my decision-making?" Awareness is the first step to clearing the distortion. --Check Your "Input": Be mindful of what you are ingesting—both nutritionally and energetically. Focus on balancing your gut and colon to boost your physical lifeforce. --Monitor the Dialogue: When you catch yourself in an internal loop or a "foot-in-mouth" moment, pause. Choose a different response to reclaim your agency. --Visualize Yellow: Envision a bright, steady golden-yellow light at your navel. See it as a level, finding its center and steadying your confidence and resourcefulness. --Somatic Check-in: Notice where you feel "tight" in your midsection. --Practice deep belly breathing to soothe the interface between your nervous system and your physical body.   RESOURCES + NEXT STEPS How to Metabolize Energy for Strong Energetic Boundaries (listen here) April Energy Forecast (watch here) Root Chakra & Nervous System Upgrade (watch here) Sacral Chakra & Energy Leakage (watch here)   Ready to go deeper?

    What's God Go To Do With It?: Your Teen’s Brain Is Being Rewired by TikTok (Here’s What 2 Hours a Day Is Doing)

    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 Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC)—the self-image brain—for anxiety, comparison, and emotional dysregulation instead of resilience. The patterns being wired into teen brains right now will become the default settings they live with for decades. But here's the good news: Teen brains are plastic. They can be rewired. And ages 12 to 25 are the most transformable years of life. Drawing from her own teenage struggles and 15 years of coaching adults through patterns that started in adolescence, Leanne introduces the four critical tools every teen needs to build emotional fitness and resilience before these patterns become permanent. Ready to bring these tools to your school or teen? Head over to TeenagerBrain.com to request a free sample lesson. You'll see exactly how the Teenager Brain curriculum works and test-drive a full lesson yourself. We're looking for our next 25 pilot schools for Fall 2026. This is a 4-week plug-and-play emotional fitness program that teaches students how to regulate their emotions, separate truth from lies, and build a self-image that lasts—without adding to your workload.

    Amy and Kat sit down with Sissy Goff and David Thomas to answer listener questions and talk about their newest book, Capable.

This conversation covers it all. They also tackle how to raise more empathetic kids, what to do when your child's emotional age doesn't match their actual age, and why the WAIT acronym might be the most useful tool ever. Plus a rapid fire round with Sissy and David that is not so rapid but gives some really good insight. Sissy Goff and David Thomas have been sitting with children and families as therapists at Daystar Counseling Ministries for decades. Through their counseling, podcast, books, and speaking, they have made it their life's work to offer practical help and hope to families.

    Showing Up for Your Single Friends & Why We Still Don't Understand Dry Cleaning

    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 cleaning works. Amy discovered an app called Yuka that scans the barcodes of your food and personal care products and rates them on ingredient quality and it’s addicting (Kat warns that this app might not be good for everything depending on where they are with disordered eating.)

    What's God Got To Do With It? What Would It Look Like to Trust God With My Body?

    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 worthiness through self-fixing, discerning God's voice over shame, moving from control to stewardship, partnering with God in our journey, and anchoring our identity in Christ rather than our reflection. This episode serves as a compassionate guide for those seeking freedom from body image struggles, reminding them that peace and healing are possible through a partnership with God HOST: Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com // @leanneellington  To learn more about Leanne, head over to www.LeanneEllington.com, and to share your thoughts, questions, feedback, or guest suggestions instantly, head on over to www.WhatsGodGotToDoWithIt.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
