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.

4 Things with Amy Brown

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 -- simply by knowing about it -- as just this ONE part of the brain influences everything from self-perception and emotional pain to coping mechanisms and physical pain.
 
Inviting God into the conversation right away, she shares how this region of the brain drives our need for acceptance and connection while also playing a big role in your coping mechanisms or habits which you feel are "out of control".
 
And it's not just theory either, as she shares evidence-based scientific studies that show how faith has been proven to drastically impact everything from self-esteem and addiction recovery...to the alleviation of physical pain, and how THIS can hold the keys to your own mental and emotional health.
 
Ultimately, she's simply inviting you to 'try on' this idea that faith can be a catalyst for healing, strength, and transformation in the realm of mental and emotional well-being.

What's God Got To Do With It?: The Faith-Brain Connection

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.

empowering • truths you've been uncovering.

courage, hope, and faith • over the coming wave of disillusionment and self-pity brought by Saturn and Neptune moving into Pisces. Pluto direct is your saving grace, offering the dose of energy needed to rise up.
 Your Frequency is Your Currency: • Your presence, thoughts, and actions are actively 
writing the future • . Discover how to recalibrate your energy field to intentional living and 
radical authenticity • , ensuring your highest timeline is being woven right now.
 Radical Rebellion: • Explore what it means to equip yourself with your 
"soul armor" • and why your personal, spiritual evolution is the ultimate act of defiance. We discuss how to arm yourself against apathy, escapism, and the "weapons of mass distraction" that lead to emotional detachment.
 Lightning Bolt Clarity: • With Pluto out-of-bounds in its orbit, operating outside the norm, October promises 
lightning bolt moments of visionary clarity • . Use this window to define your 
hopes, wishes, and dreams (11th house themes) • and set a trajectory for an authentic, higher timeline.

Soul Sessions: Pluto Direct in Aquarius: Your Moment for Radical Courage & Soul Revolution

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 to get there. 
 
But I think it’s worth a try, don’t you? 
 
Come along with me on today’s episode where I discuss this very topic and invite you to practice with me: going slow and finding pleasure in everything.

Same Problem, Different Focus, Better Feeling (Couch Talks)

In Part 3 of our Four Horsemen series, we dive into contempt, the most dangerous predictor of relationship breakdown. Kat breaks down what contempt sounds like, why it’s referred to as “relational poison,” and how it impacts both emotional and even physical health. Most importantly, we go over the antidote from Dr. Gottman: building a culture of admiration and respect. Plus, Amy’s Feeling of the Day is sad, but it’s giving her some helpful information about herself and her relationship.

The Single Biggest Predictor of Divorce (Part 3 of How Relationships Begin to End: The Four Horseman)

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 from attempting to change her beliefs purely through scientific and emotional tools...to inviting God into the conversation. 

She shares her initial struggles with self-worth and the fear of "being alone the rest of her life", and details how she crafted new beliefs that resonated with her core self and how she "backed them up" with carefully-chosen scripture. 

Leanne's journey from skepticism to faith, from doubt to trust, ultimately culminated in a profound transformation, including the unexpected and beautiful development of a loving relationship, and this episode invites you to explore your own beliefs and see where "faith meets science" can help you reshape your own self-perceptions.

What's God Got To Do With It?: How God Helped Me Heal My Fears About Being Alone the Rest of My Life

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 human impulse to relieve the pain and pressure of our stories, to find resolution, and I’ll also explore what happens when we allow the middle of the story to be exactly what it is: confusing, unsettling, upsetting and painful. 
 
Are you in the middle of a story? 

What would it be like to soften into the middle and let it change you?

Write Your Story: The Wisdom of the Middle

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. This is a powerful time for death and rebirth, and it's essential to give yourself space to grieve the past as you step into your new identity.
 
This episode explores how to:
 
 • Embrace the 
paradoxical energy • of the month—finding balance and harmony in a period of intense transformation.
 • Work with the 
1/9 numerology • to navigate new beginnings with discernment while honoring the need to release old patterns.
 • Tune into the body to release emotional and physiological blockages, especially around sadness and heaviness.
 • Harness key astrological transits to your advantage, including:
 • The powerful 
Aries Full Moon on October 6th • , which may reveal jarring truths and push you to embrace your inner truth.
 Pluto moving direct on October 13th • and 
Venus entering Libra • , inviting you to reflect on your journey and infuse your life with beauty and harmony.
 • The 
Libra New Moon on October 21st • , a harmonic reset for setting intentions around peace, cooperation, and beauty.
 • The shift from 
Sun in Libra to Sun in Scorpio on October 22nd • , a move from external beauty to the depths of your soul.
 • Learn to surrender, ask for help, and trust that you have exactly what you need for this journey.
 
Join us to learn how to be teachable, shed outdated belief systems, and set the stage for a delightful October. Don't let gravity steal your light—choose joy for the sake of joy.

Listener Updates, Tongue Thrusters, and the Weirdest Email We've Ever Received (Couch Talks)

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 criticism can trigger us, and walk through the antidote of taking responsibility for your part. You will hear tips for pausing, owning your piece, and keeping conversations from turning into blame games. This episode will help you stay connected and turn tense moments into opportunities for understanding.
