Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

Country music superstar Kane Brown sits down with Bobby for a raw conversation about the deal that cost him millions, the family trauma that shaped him, and the personal stories he does not usually tell in interviews. He opens up about his childhood, the business side of music, getting back to himself, and even breaks down the top 5 songs of his career. He also shares how viral moments, family, and hard lessons changed the way he looks at success. It is honest, surprising, and one of his most personal BobbyCast conversations yet.

From emails to voicemails…Amy & Kat cover a variety of topics! Kasey from Oklahoma just started tretinoin, so Amy breaks down the sandwich method to help her skin out. They play a voicemail with a genius closet hack from Erika (seriously, such a good tip!) Carly emails asking very specific questions about finding the right therapist and knowing when you've got a good fit. Kat gives some excellent advice to Carly that will hopefully be helpful to others! They also play voicemails sharing a clever bird feeder and a budget-friendly laundry detergent swap. Lastly, Amy shares a list of th...

Amy's feeling eager, Kat's feeling refreshed, and they’re getting into all the things! First up: the three traits that make someone instantly likeable (hint: it's not just being nice). Then, how does Maternal Instinct compare to Love Trapped?? Amy shares sneaky ways toxic people test if they still have access to you after they've hurt you, without ever actually apologizing, plus what to do about it. And finally, describing your ex as a store. Some of these are “afterdark”...you've been warned.

I can still remember being told by well-meaning adults in my life that “you can’t make money from your creative work.” 

But is that really true?

In this episode, I trace back my beliefs about money and creativity and share what I’m learning about the inevitable connection between the two. 

Thanks for following along!

What if the very thing mental health culture tells you to do—focus on your trauma, honor your feelings, explore your pain—is actually reinforcing the patterns that are keeping you stuck?

In this episode, Dr. Lee Warren and I tackle one of the most controversial (and most important) truths about how the brain works: where you put your attention literally shapes your reality. What you focus on expands. And if you're spending years focusing on your trauma, your pain, your "broken" parts, you're training your brain to keep running those patterns.

We talk about the...

The game is changing, the rules are changing, and this summer is asking you to show up as an embodied spiritual human being. In this Summer Energy Update, Amanda Rieger Green dives deep into the profound evolutionary period taking place over June, July, and August. This season isn't about frantically chasing future goals—it's about conscious participation in who you are becoming right now.

Amanda breaks down the unique energetic signature of the months ahead:

Amber from Austin is newly married and in a pre-trip standoff…she packs last-minute, her husband packs very early, and the tension gets real before they even leave the house. Amy & Kat travel together and they are VERY different travelers…they talk through finding a middle ground. Then, Amy shares a tip: the Sudoku Packing Method, a 3x3 capsule wardrobe grid that promises 27+ outfit combos from just 9 items that she keeps seeing in her FYP on Instagram. Plus, a voicemail from Darrel, who lost her husband 17 months ago and found unexpected healing and laughter in our episodes…she also gives...

Kat is feeling pumped and Amy is feeling shooketh because her son made coffee at church with his friends this morning like it was nothing. He's graduating in 2030 and apparently drinks coffee now…cool. Amy shares a study that found that women feel most fulfilled in their relationships when they get 47 minutes of undivided attention from their partner each day. And then Kat goes over some cognitive biases…the halo effect, the sunk cost fallacy, confirmation bias, zero sum bias, and a few others that will make you look at your own thinking a little differently. Some of these you...

We have more mental health resources, more awareness, more support than ever before. So why are anxiety, depression, and suicide rates at all-time highs?

In this first episode of our brand-new Spiritual Brain Surgery series, Dr. Lee Warren and I dive into the paradox that's plaguing our culture: more help, worse outcomes. We unpack the stats, explore what's missing from the current mental health model, and ask the hard question: what if the foundation itself is incomplete?

Dr. Warren explains why most mental health approaches are built on theory, not on how the brain actually...

I don’t know about you but I have a hard time being wrong. 

I like to have all my ducks in a row, all my affairs in order, all my t’s crossed and i’s dotted so that nobody can ever come after me for not being intelligent or prepared. 

But I’m learning this obsession with being right is getting in the way. 

Of my creativity. 

Of my love. 

Of my ability to grow. 

So this week’s episode is exploring the perm...

Does it feel like you’re navigating life with a blindfold on and your hands outstretched? We are at a massive precipice in humanity and in our personal soul journeys—a true point of no return where the energy is accelerating faster than our minds can process. If you feel present but simultaneously lost, you are not alone.

In this transmission, we are exploring what it means to be human, embodied, and radically authentic during a time of rapid technological, cultural, and relational change. We dive into the profound difference between Purpose (linear, finite, goal-oriented) and Meaning (flui...

Listener Elizabeth writes in about something a lot of people feel but don't say out loud. She's 40-ish, a mom, financially stable, and can't shake the feeling that she should have more by now. She’s curious about the jealousy she feels, the guilt about the jealousy, and how she can make peace with the roads she didn't take.

Kat asks the question: What is your dying wish? A beloved car wash owner in Detroit had one dying wish, to make it rain cash from a helicopter over his community one last time. His sons made it ha...

Kat is down with a sore throat, a lost voice, an ear infection, and a baby on board all at the same time, so please send her all the love. Amy is feeling grateful today because when Kat couldn't record, she reached out to one of her favorite humans to fill in.

Ally Fallon is an author, a mother, and the host of the Write Your Story podcast, which you've probably already seen on our feed every Saturday. She's been a friend and mentor to Amy through a lot of different seasons and today's conversation is exactly...

Amy & Kat go over some listener questions and emails. First, a listener is trying to conceive while three family members are pregnant at the same time. The jealousy is real and so is the guilt about feeling jealous. Then a blindsiding breakup over text after six months of dating. He's 39 with two kids. A TEXT. Amy and Kat have feelings about that. Another listener asks for marriage communication advice so we break it down the only way that actually works, explained like toddlers. And when is the right time to introduce your kids to someone new after divorce? Amy...

Feelings of the day are torn, confused, excited, and pumped! After they go over the reasons behind all of these feelings, Kat then talks to Amy about the "solo-maxxing" trend, which is the growing movement of people actively choosing to stay single and actually thriving because of it. Then Amy goes over a list of subtle shifts women can make to get a man to play the long game. Some of these are genius. Some of them we would never do. What’s in Amy’s algorithm: a man that spent six years watching nearly 2,000 episodes of Wheel of Fort...

Do you ever feel like you’d be more creative if you were simply more disciplined? 

Like you need to get your life together to get some creative work done?

That if only your proverbial ducks were in a row, then you’d have access to the creative genius you’ve always imagined?

What if the opposite is true?

In today’s episode, I explore the relationship between creative resistance (procrastination, laziness, lack of discipline, being “stuck”) and creativity itself.

And my take is this: maybe you don’t need to be more...

June 2026 is a curious, intense, and profoundly internal month setting the stage for massive external disruptions later this summer. In this episode, we break down the June energy forecast, exploring the potent 1+7 numerology frequency that brings a massive psychic awakening—along with a heavy shadow of isolation and delusion. We discuss the major astrological shifts, including Chiron entering Taurus (initiating a new 7-year collective wound around money and worth), Uranus squaring the Nodes, and a late-month Mercury Retrograde. This month is a point of no return: stop keeping secrets, tend to your nervous system, and find the community that en...

In this final episode of the Teenager Brain series, Leanne dives into the root of it all: the identity crisis.

Teens today don't have a stable sense of self. They don't know who they are, what they value, or what they stand for. And their sense of self rises and falls with every like, every comment, every comparison.

One day they're confident. The next day they're convinced they're not enough. And you're watching it happen—not knowing how to help them.

Here's what makes it even worse: Nobody knows what's real anymore. Your te...

Amy & Kat answer questions from listeners about how to handle growing distant from friends you don't want to lose, how to maintain a friendship when you're in completely different stages of life, Amy’s experience with Al-Anon for someone that’s curious about it, book recommendations, their favorite ADHD hacks, and what happened with Amy and her boyfriend. They also read two listener emails: Mahaya from Oklahoma shares a book that might change how you think about uncertainty and decision making, and Emily from North Carolina writes in after finishing The Correspondent with the kind of email that reminds us w...

Love makes people do weird things and we're getting into all of it. Biting, tickling, farting, and whatever else happens when you're truly comfortable with someone. Plus, Kat is feeling grateful for the overwhelming sunscreen recommendations that came flooding in, and Amy is in a full good mood thanks to a new 10-minute self tanner that changed everything.

Then... dumpster diving. A mom and daughter hit the jackpot behind Home Goods and walked away with a car full of brand new items, tags still on, completely free. Area rugs, ceramic vases, fleece blankets, baking dishes. They go...

Amy’s algorithm exposed her to purity culture hot tubs with worship music…which led to Kat sharing her algorithm…it’s all pregnancy and baby stuff all the time (i.e. Kylie Jenner gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy.) Amy went over a list of insults so intelligent you don’t realize you’ve been roasted until a few thoughts later. Sam from Boston called in sharing her go-bag hack for contact lens wearers, and Heidi emailed giving us the full mineral sunscreen download after three years of family testing.

Kat’s feeling excited and Amy’s feeling thankful! Amy also gets real about a candid confession from an ex who called her out for being on her phone too much during their relationship, which leads perfectly into the episode's first big topic.

They break down exactly what your "OK" texts say about you. Whether you're sending a firm "OK." with a period, a passive-aggressive thumbs up, or a flirty "OKAYYY," your texting habits reveal more than you think. That conversation opens the door to a fascinating new study on phubbing, the habit of ignoring the people in f...

Can you make money from your creativity? Of course. 

But does capitalism get in the way of your creativity? Also, I will argue, yes. 

On today’s episode I take up a conversation that has been going on for centuries: a conversation about the tension between art and commerce.  

Or as I will call it: creativity and capitalism.

Except this time I take the conversation beyond how to create a beautiful thing detached from revenue to discuss how to live a life from a place of utter truth and authenticity, which is the...

Unlock the power of your pure tone.

In this episode of our chakra deep dive, we explore the Throat Chakra —the gateway of manifestation and the seat of your authentic frequency. It is about more than just the words you speak; it is the voice inside your head, the perspective you hold, and the magic you weave into your physical reality.

We discuss how to move past the "internal programs" of self-doubt and scarcity to find the gravitas and magnetism that come from speaking your truth. From the physical connections of the jaw, neck, and ea...

In this episode, Leanne dives into emotional dysregulation—why your teen melts down over the smallest things and can't bring themselves back down.

When a teen experiences something that feels threatening, stressful, or overwhelming, their brain's alarm system (the amygdala) goes off and sends them into fight-or-flight mode. Their heart rate spikes, their breathing gets shallow, and their prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for rational thinking and emotional regulation—goes offline.

That's why your teen can't "just calm down" when you tell them to. Their "sound mind" is literally offline.

And he...

Whitney writes in raving about Jones Road Beauty's Miracle Balm and What the Foundation. Amy shares she’s obsessing over her new face tanner, SaltyFace. Listener Corin shares a hilarious and heartwarming story about raising her daughters with open period conversations…including her 12-year-old's unforgettable suggestion to practice tampon use with a drilled watermelon. And Heather, calling in from Canada at 53, weighs in on a recent hot topic: naming your daughter after yourself. Then, Amy and Kat dive into Elizabeth Gilbert's (Eat, Pray, Love) fascinating "Hummingbird vs. Jackhammer" theory…are you someone who laser-focuses on one passion for life, or do...

Amy and Kat are feeling wow'd, worried, and relieved. Amy’s Aura Ring is flagging mild stress and Kat has a new scary TV show rec: Widows Bay. Amy wants to know: What are you loving right now? Email or call…we want to know what you’re loving!! Her current obsession is green peas, so the bar is low. Surprisingly, peas have impressive health benefits. Kat shares that she’s loving frozen mango cubes. Pro Tip: Let them sit out of the freezer for about 5 minutes and then eat. A caller from Spicewood, Texas checks in with her home def...

Do you want to clearly express who you are, process your feelings and emotions, and be able to engage with the world in a way that is grounded but also clear, meaningful, and purposeful?

This week, we move from the fluid, emotional depths of the sacral into the Heart Chakra—the sacred bridge between our physical reality and our highest consciousness. Right now, we are collectively being asked to move from the "Human Doing" back into the "Human Being."

In this episode of Soul Sessions, Amanda explores how the heart is far more than just a...

In this episode, Leanne exposes the attention crisis that's affecting every single teenager right now—and reveals what social media platforms know about teen brains that most parents and educators don't.

The average teen now spends between four and five hours a day on social media. And teens who spend three or more hours a day have double the risk of anxiety and depression. Heavily addicted younger teens show two to three times the risk of suicidal behavior.

But it's not just about the time. It's about how their brain is interacting with the content.

When you are in a situation that is uncomfortable or unwanted — a job, a relationship, a season of grief or pain — the tendency is to push that experience away. 

You look for a way out.

You look for a solution. 

You look for a quick fix. 

You look for an escape door. 

But this event or experience has something it wants to show you. It is teaching you. 

Picture this event in your life as a loving friend, leaning in to whisper something important...

After sharing listener Taylor's incredible 300-day deployment update last week, she wrote in again with more details on what finding herself actually looked like, and it is the most practical and beautiful list. Her dad also sent in a sweet note about her, and we think that is just the sweetest thing ever. Taylor mentions "grace" in her update, which reminds Amy of the blog post her sister Cristi wrote about grace many years ago when they had a blog together. Amy reads the post inspired by their mom's death and a nearly empty bottle of soap called Pure...

Amy is feeling curious about a couple of things, while Kat is feeling nostalgic and vindicated. Listeners weigh in on whether Amy should keep reading The Names and the opinions are split. Kat wonders if she can name her baby after herself, which feels weird, but men do it all the time! We learn that Amy walked in on her parents as a kid, which is a very unexpected fact being that it comes up during the ‘How to not get murdered by a serial killer’ part of this episode. Other things they chat about: customizing your own lipstick at L...

April felt like things were being ripped at the seams, but May 2026 brings a different kind of intensity. It is a month of deep embodiment, psychological complexity, and intuitive awakening. While the tone is softer than last month, it is far from simple.

In this episode, we dive into the Universal 6 Month (in a 1 Year) and explore how to navigate three massive energetic themes: Reciprocity, Limitations, and Intuition. With Pluto stationing retrograde and Mars entering a harsh square with Pluto at the end of the month, May is a call to put on your own oxygen mask...

It’s no secret I’ve been stuck in my creativity lately (and my fertility).

So as a way to reignite my life force energy, I’m going back to the basics. I’m forgetting about my audience and moving toward what makes me happy. 

Which has me thinking:

If you’re creating your art for an audience, is it really art? 

Is creativity with a specific end in mind really creativity at all? 

Join me as I think this through in real time and follow along as I try once agai...

In this episode, Leanne dives into why schools have become mental health first responders—and why they're not equipped to handle it.

96% of schools report skyrocketing mental health needs, but only half have the staff to address them. Counselors are managing caseloads of 400-600 students. And teachers—who became educators to inspire minds—are now carrying the emotional weight of 30+ students every single day, leading to record burnout rates.

60% of teens who receive mental health support get it exclusively at school. So when the system is overwhelmed, students fall through the cracks—and parents feel stuck wi...

Amy yelled at a kid flying through her neighborhood today and she has zero regrets. A listener writes in about a boss who vents about motherhood in ways that feel uncomfortable and she genuinely wants to know if she is being too judgmental or if her feelings are valid. Amy and Kat talk through it. Then a letter from Taylor in Virginia Beach that will be the biggest encouragement to you. Taylor's husband is deployed on the USS Gerald R Ford which just set the record for the longest deployment since Vietnam. She wrote in last year with a...

Amy sits down with Matt Smallbone, lead pastor of Church of the City in downtown Nashville and author of the new book The Prayer Experiment. Before he was a pastor he spent over a decade touring the world as a bass player with artists including Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, and KING + COUNTRY. 

Matt openly admits he once struggled with prayer himself and what happened when he committed to praying the Lord's Prayer every single day for a year will genuinely surprise you…from this The Prayer Experiment was born.

The Prayer Experiment is a b...

Kat is feeling scattered and Amy is feeling thankful. While, can’t remember why exactly she feels that way, she does know that she hates the saying: “Wet my whistle.” The mention of “whistle” makes the conversation take an interesting turn. Amy is also fully convinced her Oura Ring is going to keep her single forever because her sleep score now matters more than going out. Kat recommends a new game called Play 9 that might be their new favorite thing. A comment made about Amy talking with her hands a lot on an IG live sparks a chat about policing o...

I watched the most recent cult document released on Netflix over the weekend called Trust Me: The False Prophet.

It is an absolutely disturbing and important show.

It’s the most recent in a long line of cult documentaries and crime podcasts I’ve watched over the years and I have noticed a pattern, a list of behaviors and dynamics that can coerce otherwise intelligent, successful, big-hearted people to do things they would otherwise find abhorrent. 

Most distressingly, none of us are immune. These tactics are common and effective. 

And they are de...
