Feelings, friendship, faith, and everyday mess.
Amy and Kat move easily from retreat recaps and haircut indecision to listener questions about draining friendships and emotional boundaries. The show is chatty and familiar, but it can slow down for sincere reflection on confidence, shame, God, and how people make sense of themselves.

Feeling Things with Amy & Kat is a conversational show where everyday life keeps turning into emotional data. Amy and Kat trade quick stories about trips, family houses, hair decisions, kids, restaurant manners, phone habits, and the tiny annoyances that can take over a day. The mood is familiar and lightly teasing. It does not stay on the surface for long. A joke about being refreshed after a retreat can become a conversation about anxiety, planning, and knowing when a reaction is larger than the moment. A listener email about a toxic friendship can become a careful discussion about privacy, boundaries, and how to end something with less harm. The show often works best when it lets domestic detail carry the weight. Salt missing from the house, a napkin at dinner, a child oversharing at the table, or a possible haircut all become ways to talk about control, identity, embarrassment, or care. Couch Talks episodes bring in more direct listener questions, usually with a mix of caution, humor, and practical emotional sorting. The broader feed also includes faith-forward conversations about confidence, shame, sex, God, and rewriting old stories about the self. Those episodes can feel more reflective and vulnerable, with Kevin and Rhi appearing in a friend-and-mentor context. The range is part of the draw. One stretch may be about millennial habits and not answering phone calls. Another may sit with spiritual language and personal healing. Amy and Kat keep the pace brisk, but the show leaves room for pauses when the subject deserves them. It is not a polished self-help seminar. It is warmer and messier than that, closer to friends using ordinary stories to figure out what a feeling is trying to say. The result is accessible emotional conversation for listeners who want honesty, humor, and a little practical guidance without losing the feeling of a real hangout.
Made for: For listeners who like warm friend-talk with practical emotional takeaways, especially around relationships, anxiety, boundaries, family life, and faith. It fits people who want reflection without losing humor or ordinary detail.
What sets it apart: The show stands out by letting small domestic moments do serious emotional work. It can move from haircut banter or restaurant etiquette to shame, confidence, and God without changing into a formal advice show.
