Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

• Chasing Dreams, Double Standards, and Somehow...Conjugal Visits (Couch Talks)

  Amy and Kat share a listener email from Julia in Wisconsin. Julia is getting ready to hike 1,200 miles solo (a dream she’s been chasing for years) and she’s tired of people asking what her husband thinks about it. Amy and Kat talk about how to respond when people project their fears or outdated ideas about relationships onto your dreams, and why you don’t need to defend living a big, brave life. There are way more interesting questions like: What is she going to eat? Will she hike with others she meets along the way? Where will she sleep? What if you encounter a bear? How often does her husband get to visit her? We hope this chat offers some encouragement for anyone working toward something others might not understand. You don’t need permission to be proud of yourself. Also, Kat gets an update from Amy on the Face Fitness trial that she signed up for at the first of April.

• Feelings Aren’t Facts, Stretching vs. Compromising, and Why Talking to Yourself Is Actually Genius

  Amy and Kat dive into the important reminder that feelings aren’t facts. Yes, feelings give us information, but they don’t always tell us the whole truth. They also talk about why confusion might actually be a sign you're growing, why talking to yourself out loud is a good thing (according to science!), and how to build curiosity instead of judgment when emotions get messy. Plus: Amy shares a funny story about stretching, Kat breaks down what to do when a therapist gives you the ick, and a beautiful email about finding hope during a hard fertility journey Remember: your feelings are real…but you get to decide how much they drive the car!! Have the day you need to have!

• Divorced, Disappointed, and Debating a Confrontation (Couch Talks)

  Amy and Kat respond to an email from a listener navigating a tough post-divorce situation. Her ex-husband’s behavior (especially around their daughter’s upcoming wedding) is testing her patience. He hasn’t offered a dime to help, and their adult kids are pulling away from him for a long list of reasons. Now she’s asking: Do I stay in my lane… or finally say something? Amy and Kat talk through boundaries, money, and how to support your kids without taking responsibility for what someone else refuses to do. Plus, something fun: They play a voicemail from a listener who called in with advice about her own breast augmentation — a nice follow-up to last week’s listener question. We love when listeners help each other out!

• Adult Dating, the Desire to Be Wanted & Leaning Into Fear

  Amy shares a personal story about the fears she had dating her boyfriend (a widower with three kids) and how her primal question of "Am I wanted?" came to the surface. Kat takes us through the emotion of gladness and why joy can sometimes feel just as scary as fear. Fear and gladness are the final 2 core feelings, so make sure to listen to the previous episodes if you missed the other 6 feelings. Per usual, Amy & Kat share the gifts and impairments of each emotion (including the feeling of the day!) Hope you enjoy the stories, therapy takeaways, and remember: if you have a “Lunch with Leslie” type situation pop up……it may just change your life!!!! Have the day (or feelings) you need to have!

• Breast Implants, Body Confidence, & The Inner Tug-of-War (Couch Talks)

  Amy & Kat are answering a question from a listener who’s considering a breast augmentation. She’s navigating that familiar tension of wanting to feel more confident in her body…while also wanting to accept it as it is. Kat (who happens to be a therapist specializing in body image) offers insight on how to explore the why behind a choice like this, the difference between need vs. want, and where body-based decisions can lead emotionally. Amy shares her own experience and they also touch on topics like: breast implant illness, the long-term reality of having implants, and what it looks like to make a confident, informed decision.
