Advertise on podcast: Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

A listener is feeling a little blah, so Amy and Kat are here to help. On paper, life looks great: the house, the kids, the routines. But something feels stuck. Is it an early midlife crisis, or just part of being in your 30s? The girls talk about how even a beautiful life can feel a bit flat sometimes, why that’s completely normal, and how to go out and create a spark instead of waiting for one to find you.

Kat is out on maternity leave with her sweet new baby, Zoey, so Chase is filling in! Amy shares why she’s grateful for Chase, and Chase opens up about his own feeling of the day, while admitting he wasn’t even sure feelings were real. Turns out they are; they just aren’t facts. Let them ride shotgun, but don’t put them in the driver’s seat… ya know?? This one is a totally free-flowing conversation, and it goes everywhere: what it was like sitting next to Nicole Kidman during a movie, the great no-shoes-in-the-house debate (Chase HATES that Amy made this a rule), and why Chase thinks about death a lot while Amy… really doesn’t.

I watched my two young kids have their first experience with monetizing their art and I walked away with one conclusion.  Art deserves to be celebrated, sold and reciprocated (financially). I haven’t always felt this way.  I’ve wrestled with the question of what art is worth. Or rather, I’ve felt a strange need to keep my creativity and capitalism separated.  But in today’s episode, I’ll share why I think it matters that you not just see your art as valuable in general — but as worth actual dollars. In what ways can you sell your art without shame?   Aime McKnee    Host: Ally Fallon // @allyfallon // allisonfallon.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A listener asked us to talk about something so many women quietly carry: the weight of the household, especially the financial responsibility and the pressure that comes with it. Plus, a few of our favorite financial voices to follow on IG. We're also answering a question from a 38-year-old mom who has lots of friends but no "best friend." Is that normal? And should she have one? Kat shares a book recommendation that might change how you think about your people. And we have an update that made us so proud: a listener who was nervous about leaving her little girl for the first time ended up deployed on an earthquake relief mission and shares what got her through.

Ever been in a terrible mood and couldn't figure out why? Amy was falling apart until she remembered a simple check-in she learned for her kids years ago: H.A.L.T. Are you hungry, angry, lonely, or tired? Twenty minutes and one snack later, she was a new woman. Plus, what to say instead of "it's OK" when it really isn't, the texts to send this week if you're craving more community, and five brilliant people-handling tricks from a grandma who ran a psych ward for 35 years. We're also talking pineapple peel tea, the old-school curb walking trick, and quizzing Kat on dating lingo. Do you know what breadcrumbing and shrekking mean? Play along and see how you score!

If you’ve been doing everything you know how to do to make a change, and nothing is changing, consider this:  Maybe LESS is actually more.  Maybe making progress is less about how much you can add and more about how much you can subtract.  There is a time for trying harder and doing more. There is also a time for subtracting what no longer fits.  So today’s episode comes with a challenge: what can you take away that might move the needle infinitely more than anything you could add?  Fast Like A Girl by Mindy Pelz Joe Dispensa Host: Ally Fallon // @allyfallon // allisonfallon.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Soul Sessions, Amanda Rieger Green teaches a powerful, practical technique for shifting the unconscious programs running beneath your conscious mind — using activities you already do every day. Brushing your teeth, showering, folding laundry, doing your skincare routine, or driving a familiar route are all low cognitive load moments where your subconscious is free to run its usual script: worry, rehearsal, criticism, future tripping. Amanda walks through her own process for catching these patterns without judgment, using a simple smile or breath to interrupt the loop, then consciously introducing a new dialogue through questions, intentions, or her go-to phrase, "Today I'm available for…" She shares real moments — like laughing at herself over a Sunday morning coffee pot rehearsing an argument — that illustrate how awareness alone starts to change the pattern, and how repetition in these small daily windows builds real, lasting shifts in peace, ease, and resilience. No extra time required — just a new way of using the time you already have.

A listener wants to know: what's the viral eyeshadow Amy talked about a while ago? Plus, another listener pitches a Feeling Things book club, raves about The Calamity Club (and asks the big question: what would you do for your child?), and recommends My Friends. A new listener has a word choice note for us, and our skydiving listener checks back in with an emergency parachute update and what it was like to jump in Iceland during an eclipse. And Kelli, a postpartum mom of two, explains why not wanting to leave your new baby is completely normal, plus her favorite babywearing picks for this sweet, short season. Have a question for us?

Amy just found out her dove tattoo might actually be a hummingbird, and honestly, it might be exactly what she needed. Amy and Kat dig into what each bird symbolizes, then kick off with their feelings of the day! Plus, three simple swaps to break your over-apologizing habit (hint: "thank you" goes a long way), what to say to someone who just won't stop complaining, and the everyday words and phrases that could be quietly undermining you at work. We're also playing your voicemails, including a listener who finally named the '90s rap song stuck in Amy's head, and a high school counselor nominating her school's wellness center coordinator for new games and sharing how she's turning Kat's Jenga question idea into a way to get her students talking.

Colleen was a pastor. She was teaching God's word, leading others, preaching identity in Christ. But behind closed doors, she felt like a hypocrite. She knew what God said about her. She could teach it. She believed it was true... for everyone else. But for her, it felt like words on a page that wouldn't land in her heart. And on top of that, she was carrying a lifetime of shame about her body. Since she was eight years old, shopping in the "chubby girls" section, she'd been told she had a problem to fix. She'd been on every diet. She'd tried to overachieve in everything else to make up for the one area she couldn't get right. She'd been given mixed messages her whole life: skinny is beautiful, but you're okay just the way you are. Don't overeat, but finish everything on your plate. Sugar is bad, but it's the reward for being good. By the time menopause hit, she was gaining more weight, trying harder and harder to lose it, and sinking into the lowest point of her life. She felt like a failure. She felt disgusted with herself. And the worst part? She couldn't reconcile what she knew in her head with what she felt in her heart. She had seen God heal her miraculously from incurable diseases. So why couldn't she get from what she knew about her identity in Christ to actually seeing it and feeling it in her life? She kept thinking: I'm the problem. I have to fix myself. Colleen had fought so many battles—behavioral modification, diet plans, spiritual disciplines, positive affirmations—but she was fighting the wrong battles. And when you fight the wrong battles, you don't win the war. When she heard Leanne's podcast with Dr. Lee Warren, she cried through the whole thing. She thought, This is too good to be true. But she was desperate. She had nowhere else to turn. And she asked God, Did you put Leanne in my path? In this powerful case study, Colleen shares how she finally learned to go to the root instead of just trying to fix the behavior. How she dismantled the lies that had infiltrated every area of her life and built what she calls "new beautiful beliefs"—not positive affirmations, but truth that actually landed in her bones. How she learned to be friends with her body again, to take off the minister hat and just be the woman, the essence, the soul God created her to be. Today, Colleen is at peace with herself for the first time in her life. She's not obsessed with her weight or her size. She's not fixated on what she looks like. She's learning to care for her body instead of punishing it. She's starting strength training—not to lose weight, but to get stronger and thrive. She's wearing clothes that make her feel alive instead of hiding in frumpy baggy outfits. She's showing up in rooms without worrying about how she looks or what she said. She's ushering in God's peace and grace instead of getting pulled into other people's chaos. And the sweetest part? She has a hope-filled expectation for the future. Instead of dreading getting older, fatter, more wrinkled, she's asking, What's the abundant part of life here for me in this season? She's living Psalm 92: Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They will bear fruit even in old age. If you've ever felt like you know God's promises are true but they don't feel true for you, or if you've ever felt like a hypocrite because you can't receive what you teach, Colleen's story is for you. Because healing isn't about trying harder or praying more or fasting more. It's about going to the root. It's about learning how to take your thoughts captive in a way that actually works. And it's about finally surrendering—not giving up, but letting God show you the right battle to fight so you can win the war.

Bobby kicks off a new year-by-year series counting down the top 10 moments that defined country music in the ’90s, starting with 1990. In this episode, he looks back at Garth, Reba, Alan Jackson, Clint Black, The Highwaymen, The Chicks, Tim McGraw, Lorrie Morgan, Travis Tritt, and more — while also sharing conversations with some of the artists decades later about the songs, albums, and decisions that shaped the year. Plus, Bobby mixes in the movies, TV shows, and pop culture that made 1990 feel like the start of something huge.

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to join us for The River Within, the new program I’m hosting with my friend Ruthie Lindsey. In this episode, we’ll awaken your creative gifts and activate your life force! One of the ways we’ll do this is through the topic of today’s episode: aligned, messy action.  If you’re a thoughtful, deliberate, intentional person, you likely struggle with aligned, messy action. You probably prefer precise, perfect, effective action. And yet what you need most might be permission to try and fail.  Permission to move forward, even if it’s not the “right” move. That’s exactly the permission I’m granting in this episode, and in The River Within. I hope you’ll join us.  Third Coast Comedy Club The Confidence Code by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman Host: Ally Fallon // @allyfallon // allisonfallon.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Soul Sessions, Amanda Rieger Green maps out the energetic terrain of October — a month she describes as a curious and wild ride. She opens with an oracle card pull, "Relax the Hold of Darkness and Be at Cause," setting the tone for a month that asks for courage, trust, and a loving, courageous heart leading the way.  Amanda breaks down the astrology at play: Venus retrograde in Scorpio backing into Libra, Pluto stationing direct in Aquarius after months of internal transformation, Mercury retrograde arriving late in the month, plus a Libra new moon and Taurus full moon. Numerologically, we're in an 11/2 master month — an energy of relationships, sensitivity, and higher connection.  Amanda walks through three major themes to navigate this month: energetic permeability and overwhelm, relational mirroring (what your relationships are reflecting back to you), and the deeper biological mutations many people are feeling as consciousness accelerates. Practical tools included: how to tell if overwhelm is "yours," a simple physical reset for anxiety, and why prayer and intention can be some of the most powerful things you do this month.

What do you do when all the bad things are happening at once? This week, a listener shares that her husband is recovering from open heart surgery while three of her siblings have been diagnosed with serious cancers. She's always been the positive one, but now she feels numb and can't even cry. Should she force herself to feel it, push it away, or just be grateful she's okay? We talk through grief, worry, and how to hold it all when life gets really hard. Then, a listener finds herself stuck in the middle after her mom and her husband's estranged dad started dating (and even walked down the aisle together at her wedding!). Now the relationship has turned toxic, her husband wants nothing to do with either of them, and everyone is waiting for someone else to apologize first. How do you keep the peace when your family is torn apart? Have a question for us? Send it our way and we might answer it on the show!   Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Alison Cook gets honest about something many of us don't realize: we can know all the right things about God, healing, and ourselves—and still have parts of us that don't feel safe, connected, or secure. As a psychologist of religion, licensed therapist, and bestselling author, Alison has spent decades exploring the intersection of psychology, faith, and spiritual formation. But in her new book, The Secure Soul: Finding Inner Strength and Connection When Trust Doesn't Come Easy, she takes us beyond simply understanding our patterns and into the deeper work of tending to the parts of ourselves that learned to protect, perform, control, or disconnect in order to feel safe. In this episode, we explore the intersection of neuroscience and faith, how early experiences can shape our brains, nervous systems, self-image, and even the way we experience God. We talk about the difference between who we truly are and who we learned to become in order to feel safe, why some of the behaviors we desperately want to "fix" may actually be attempts to protect us, and what happens when our theology says "God loves me" but something inside of us still struggles to let that love land. We also bring this conversation into food and body, perfectionism, self-criticism, and the pressure so many women feel to become a better version of themselves. Alison shares what it means to "Recognize & Return," why receiving love and care can sometimes feel harder than giving it, and how healthy self-trust and trust in God can work together instead of competing with each other. This isn't about finding one more thing about yourself to fix. It's about learning how to stop abandoning the parts of yourself that need your presence—and discovering a deeper kind of security rooted in connection with yourself, with others, and ultimately with God.
