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.

4 Things with Amy Brown

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?”
 
Alexandra Ballard is the fashion person on Instagram that Amy mentioned: @alexandraballardd. She’s the one that will post outfits you can wear that you likely already have in your closet.

The Rule of 7 for Fashion, Witch Hazel Wonders & What This Makes Possible (Couch Talks)

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 feelings show up again, it doesn’t mean you’re back at the beginning. It’s just a new moment to practice showing up differently…with more awareness, more tools, and more kindness for yourself.
 
Also in this episode: a cozy stovetop simmer recipe (see below!), the move to make out of a second story should there be a fire (random, but helpful), and a thoughtful email from new listener Dave, who shares how burnout shifted his relationship with work and a reminder to actually communicate needs in a relationship…men aren’t mind readers.
 
Smells Like Christmas: A Cozy Simmer Pot Recipe
 
1 large orange, sliced
 
3–4 cinnamon sticks
 
1 cup fresh cranberries
 
1 tablespoon whole cloves
 
2–3 sprigs of fresh rosemary (or a handful of pine needles if you’re feeling extra festive)
 
Water to fill the pot
 
 
 
How To:
 
Combine everything in a medium pot.
 
Fill with water until ingredients are just covered (leave about an inch from the top).
 
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
 
Reduce to low and let it quietly bubble away (uncovered) as long as you’d like.
 
Keep an eye on it and add more water as needed so it doesn’t dry out.
 
Pro tip…you can reuse the same pot a few times! Just pop it in the fridge overnight and add fresh water before reheating.
 
 
 
This little ritual makes your whole house smell like orange, cinnamon, and nostalgia. It’s one of those small, sensory things that makes the holidays feel like the holidays.

Kat’s Creating Joy & Amy’s Revisiting Old Wounds

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: You are not broken. You are not beyond hope. And this cycle doesn’t have to define you. We’ll dive into how Romans 12:2 shows us that real transformation happens through the renewing of our minds, how neuroscience confirms that change is possible, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us beyond sheer willpower. If you’re tired of feeling stuck and want real, lasting change, this episode will give you the tools—and the encouragement—to step into true freedom.

What's God Got To Do With It?: "Why Do I Keep Repeating the Same Mistakes, Even When I Pray for Change?"

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 power and possibility of sharing your truth more broadly? 
 
This is what I’m exploring in today's episode. No matter how impossible it might seem to tell the truth — no matter who you think it might hurt or what you worry would unravel, the old maxim is right: only really the truth can set you free.

Write Your Story: How Radical Honesty Makes You Unstoppable

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:
 
 The Upgrade Invitation: • Why you must engage with the Mercury Retrograde for a 
deep mental and cognitive rewire • , rather than recycling confusion.
 Sagittarius Detox: • From Nov 9th, Mercury in Sag demands a 
mental expansion and belief detox. • What limiting stories have been running the show unconsciously? (Be mindful of spiritual bypassing or excessive optimism!)
 Scorpio Confrontation: • When Mercury slides back into Scorpio on Nov 18th, 
the game changes. • We move from philosophical to embodiment. This is where the 
rubber meets the road • —truth will come to light, and you 
can't avoid the red flags. Psychic Purge: • All three water signs are in retrograde, 
purifying and detoxing our psyche. • We are being cleansed of pain and confrontation that doesn't need to quantum leap with us into 2026.
 Deep Truth Telling: • Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio penetrates the underworld of your psyche, exposing what has been hidden. This is the time to 
integrate your shadows • and excavate old junk that has been buried.
 Power Dates: • A roadmap of crucial days for action, clarity, and receiving luck: 
Nov 12th (watch your mouth), Nov 17th (lucky day), Nov 20th (psychic day), Nov 22nd (Master Number day), • and celebration on 
Nov 30th. 
This November is a pressure cooker—focus internally, clear the static, and trust that your soul is catching up to the mental and psychic upgrade you are receiving.

When Healthy Becomes Harmful: A Listener Caught Between Control and Recovery (Couch Talks)

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.

F-Bombs and Feelings: What Cursing Says About You

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 to grow deeper. We’ll also break down the neuroscience behind why our brains crave certainty and how we can rewire our thought patterns to align with God’s truth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re wrestling with faith and doubt at the same time, this episode will remind you that God isn’t afraid of your questions—and He’s not going anywhere.

What's God Got To Do With It?: "Why Do I Believe in God but Still Struggle With Doubt?"

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:
 
 Emotional Riptides & Courage: • Learn how to navigate the overwhelming energy, the feeling of lack of grounding, and the need for 
courage • to speak your truth and set boundaries.
 The Power of 'NOW': • Why old resentments, past stories, and blame are counterproductive, and how to stay anchored in the 
present moment • where your true power lies.
 Numerology's Wicked Combo: • We explore the energy of the 
2-month • (relationships, balance, intuition) wrapping up a 
9-universal year • (closure). This combination is bringing relationship drama, deep truth-telling, and karmic closure to the surface.
 Relationship Reckoning & Self-Worth: • Understand why this is 
not • the month to mingle if you’re single. Instead, focus on your inner compass, self-worth, and eradicating toxic relationship patterns.
 November 5th Super Full Moon in Taurus: • A hyperactive frequency peak that will shake any faulty foundations related to 
money, resources, your values, and sense of worth. • We discuss how to do an audit of your time, energy, and finances to align with your highest self.
 Planetary Heavy Hitters: • A look at the influence of 
Mars entering Sagittarius • , the revelatory nature of the month, and a hint at the massive energetic detox happening (including the 
3I/ATLAS • asteroid!).

Soul Sessions: November 2025 Astrology: Full Moon in Taurus, Emotional Riptides, & Karmic Truth

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. 
 
If there’s more to life than what we see, then maybe “what we want” is about much more than getting what we want. Sounds simple on the surface but tell that to yourself when you want something and you’re not getting it. 
 
Whatever it is that you want but can’t have right this minute, I hope this episode brings you some peace.

Write Your Story: What Yoga Taught Me About Getting What You Want

A listener email about the 'be a purple thread' analogy inspired today's chat with Amy & Kat. Amy puts her own spin on the concept using food analogies—like salt, vanilla, butter, and pizza crust—to remind you of your importance in this world. This sparks a wild story about Amy's dad getting arrested in Saudi Arabia and a creepy "plain vanilla vs. French vanilla" photographer moment from Amy’s teenage years. Kat recalls last year’s viral video of the boy playing "doorholder #3," reminding us that everyone plays an essential role.
