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

OUTWEIGH: In the final part of our holiday series on Outweigh, Amy and Leanne explore the transformative power of self-acceptance as the greatest gift we can give ourselves during the holiday season. 
 
Amy introduces the idea that self-acceptance is often overlooked in holiday conversations, yet it is the key to fully enjoying the festivities. They discuss why prioritizing self-acceptance matters more than striving for self-improvement during the holidays and beyond, emphasizing the shift from self-criticism to self-compassion as a pathway to peace rather than productivity.
 
Leanne shares how this is actually the missing link to find peace within yourself and your body, and she also recounts a powerful story from a client whose embrace of self-acceptance completely transformed their holiday experience, positively impacting their relationships and overall joy.
 
As we close out the series, it's all about reminding you that the greatest gift of all is the freedom to embrace who you are—just as you are.

Amy Answers Emails: Al-Anon Advice, Cancer Support, Eating Disorder Progress, Gratitude & More

OUTWEIGH: “She spent decades caring for everyone else. But at 62, Lisa finally learned how to care for herself.”

Meet Lisa.

For over 20 years, Lisa felt trapped in a relentless food and diet prison. Food carried the weight of shame and guilt, and she was stuck in the endless cycle of dieting, losing, and regaining.

And after the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Lisa poured herself into being a caretaker, forgetting entirely what it looked like to care for herself.

Diets had eluded her.
She felt helpless and isolated, unsure if freedom was even possible.
And she was tired of the Weight Watchers cycle—knowing another round of restriction wasn’t the answer.

But deep down, Lisa had hope. She knew there had to be a better way to heal her relationship with food, her body, and herself.

That’s when Lisa made the decision to commit to herself for the first time in decades.

She took a leap of faith and began her journey to heal her body and mind—not through dieting, but through transformation of her brain.

And the results? Nothing short of life-changing.

In this inspiring interview, Lisa shares:
How she found life again after the loss of her husband.
Why ditching the diet mentality was the key to her freedom.
How, at 62 years old, she reclaimed her health, her confidence, and her groove!

Lisa’s story is proof that it’s never too late to start again—and that freedom is possible at any age.

Subtle Habits That Make People Respect You More (5th Thing)

Amy takes a heartfelt trip down memory lane after reading through some old emails. As she was searching for a recipe, in honor of her mom's birthday, she came across emails that made her laugh, cry and reflect—including a scary moment when her dad went missing for a week. Amy also talks about the concept of “toxic gratitude,” inspired by a recent newsletter from Mike Foster. Hope you enjoy listening and the Cherry Berries on a Cloud recipe is below....you won't regret for one second making this!! 

Cherry Berries on a Cloud
 
6 egg whites
1 tsp, cream of tartar
¼ tsp. salt
 
Beat until frothy, add 1 cup sugar. Beat until stiff (about 15 minutes). Spread in a 9 x 13

8 oz cream cheese
1 cup sugar

Tears, Reflection, Rethinking Gratitude & Cherry Berries on a Cloud

OUTWEIGH: As we close out the year, it’s easy to fall into the trap of measuring our worth by the scale or the “perfect” body we never quite achieved. In this episode of Outweigh, we’re challenging that narrative head-on. Instead of focusing on what your body didn’t accomplish, let’s celebrate the deeper, more meaningful wins that have nothing to do with a number. From emotional growth and boundary-setting to moments of self-compassion and courage, these are the victories that truly matter—and they’re worth so much more than any dress size or diet goal.
 
Join Leanne as we shift our perspective and embrace the idea that real success isn’t about meeting some external standard, but about showing up for yourself with kindness and understanding. It’s time to acknowledge how far you’ve come, even if the scale doesn’t tell the story you expected. Let’s end the year not with judgment and regret, but with genuine pride in who we are becoming—beyond the scale, beyond the body, and beyond the old ways of measuring our worth.

Ending the Year with Self-Compassion: Reflecting and Celebrating Wins Beyond the Scale (Outweigh)

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today’s quote is: “You can be healing and feel broken at the same time. Healing isn’t a destination we reach where we are perfect and at peace all the time. Healing is a journey that involves accepting and embracing ourselves as we break, as we heal, and as we reconstruct.” This quote resonated with Amy and she finds so much comfort with the words: “healing isn’t a destination.” 
 
Today’s chat is based on emails from McKenzie (family drama + people pleasing + feeling lighter after setting a boundary + 5 myths of friendship), Suzanne (microbladed brows by Meegen + seeing the rainbow after the storm), Ann (tips for saving money + how to get your phone back if you lose it + the ZARA pants you need in your life), and Shannon (a reminder to find a way to give yourself a break from day to day life. What does that look like for you?? For Shannon it’s a trip to do some good hiking!!)

Real Stories, Real Hope: Listener Emails That Inspire

OUTWEIGH: In this episode of Outweigh we’re tossing out the tired “New Year, New You” playbook. Instead of sprinting into another year burdened by rules, restrictions, and impossible goals, we’re exploring what it looks like to trade stress for self-compassion and external pressure for true inner alignment. Rather than chasing some perfect version of yourself, what if you focused on creating your happiest year yet?
 
Join Leanne as she talks through why traditional resolutions often fail—and how shifting your priorities from “being better” to actually feeling better can completely transform how you approach the year ahead. Let’s make room for experiences, joy, and nourishment of the mind, body, and soul—no more ‘shoulds,’ just genuine happiness.
