Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

Amy bought Glen Powell's ketchup on a whim at the store and there’s so much more to this then we realized. We get into his wild journey from a childhood ketchup trauma to co-founding his own organic condiment brand, Smash Kitchen.
Kat unpacks family systems for us and the different roles people tend to fall into growing up, the Hero, the Mascot, the Lost Child, the Placater, and the Scapegoat, and talk through why the "truth teller" of the family so often ends up labeled as the problem.
We also talk about a psychological trick called the Benjamin Franklin Effect, the surprising reason people actually like you more when you ask them for a small favor, not the other way around.
Plus, we share an incredibly touching story from a Hasbro Moment listener whose autistic son found connection and confidence through simple board games like Hi Ho! Cherry-O and Hungry Hungry Hippos, thanks to a teacher who knew exactly what he needed.
Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again.

What if the best moment of your life isn't a future milestone — but today? In this solo episode, Amanda explores what it really means to be soulful: not the extraordinary or transcendent, but the ordinary — a song on the radio, a waiting room, a hard conversation you didn't run from.
Amanda reflects on presence, discernment, and the difference between performing a soulful life and actually living one — including how grief, pain, and uncertainty (what she calls "the hallway") can be some of the most soulful teachers we have.
In this episode, Amanda covers:
What "soulfulness" actually feels like in everyday moments — big and small
Why discernment (not authenticity) is the real practice
How to sit with uncertainty instead of rushing through it
Why pain and grief can crack us open into deeper presence
Ask yourself this week: where are you finding your soul?

PART 2 of 4: Ever wonder why your thoughts and feelings don't sync up? Amy & Leanne share a fresh-yet-totally-doable approach that will help you reclaim the reins of confusing thoughts in our head…so that stepping into WHO YOU WANT TO BE actually becomes possible!

In PART 2 you learn:

- Why it's not your CIRCUMSTANCES that dictate your reality, it's your THOUGHTS, and how every single thought CAUSES a feeling-- not the other way around.
- Why your Self Image knows how you really feel, so before you can "act as if" or "believe a new reality", it's got to FEEL good, FEEL true, and resonate.
- How to truly flip "negative emotions" on their head and find the gold in what it's trying to teach you.

This is a 4-part series, so if you missed PART 1 go give it a listen. This is designed to listen to (in order 1-4) to help you learn, grasp, and use right away – even if “positive thinking" or “acting as if” has NEVER worked for you in the past.

A listener had a mortifying public moment...and somehow ended up on a date because of it. You'll have to hear the full story to believe it. It’s so crazy and we’d feel so embarrassed, but also grateful?? Haha.
We hear from a caller who confesses she pre-cleans her house before the cleaners arrive, and yes, you are not alone if you do this too. A listener encourages Amy to cut her hair, plus we answer a question that was asked by many: what is a drink dropper?!
We also get into a tricky question from a listener who works as an overnight cleaner: she found something disturbing left behind by a group of teens at a school she cleans, and now feels strangely embarrassed to even report it to her male supervisor. We try to unpack where that shame is coming from.
