Write Your Story: Do You Trust The Unfolding of Your Life? Aug 14, 2026

Show notes

It’s easy to trust the unfolding of your life when things go the way you expected or planned.

But what about when things fall apart?

When the loved one dies?

When the friend betrays you?

When the marriage ends?

When the business deal goes south?

Do you still trust that your life is taking you somewhere beautiful?

Or do you feel the need to fix and control? To make something great if your life? To manipulate and manage the unfolding?

This is a lesson I’ve had to learn more than once in my life and it’s a lesson that’s sinking in even deeper this time.

We’ll unpack it together on this week’s episode.

The Guilt of Doing Nothing + Is Your Work Ethic Actually a Trauma Response? (Couch Talks) Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

Why does relaxing feel so hard? Why does sitting on the couch for 20 minutes feel like a moral failure? We break down the guilt of "unfinished" downtime, the pressure to turn every hobby into a side hustle, and why rest isn't something you have to earn. Plus, a listener question on feeling worthy that isn't tied to what you can do for others.

We also share some workout recs that came in for Amy's weightlifting journey, plus a voicemail from a listener who wants Kat to know just how powerful (and even euphoric) an unmedicated birth experience can be, straight from someone who's done it twice.

A Nightcap Ritual That Actually Works + What Makes People Successful Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

This week we're breaking down a 75-year Harvard study that found the biggest predictor of a successful adult by age 25 wasn't grades, test scores, or extracurriculars, it was whether they did chores starting at age three or four. We get into why that is, plus three rules for making chores actually work in your house (hint: don't pay for them).

We also share an easy first-date hack from Logan Ury (whose new Netflix show, The Later Daters, we mentioned last week): ditch the small talk and jump straight into the middle of a story instead. It works for any nerve-wracking new-people situation, not just dates.

Plus, a simple nightly ritual called C.A.P. (Celebrate, Appreciate, Prioritize) to close out your day, a few decluttering tips for a clearer mind, and some sentences that we can't stop thinking about.

Oh, and we finally watched "A Toxic Love Story" after all our talk about it, and we have thoughts.

Write Your Story: Less Effort, More Reward: How to “Fix” any Problem Aug 09, 2026

Show notes

Whatever problem you’re facing in your life right now, you’re probably crushing it.

(“I’m actually not…” I can hear you saying—but you are).

Your heartbreak. Your debt. Your divorce. Your loss. Your unexpected detour.

You have brought all of your amazing wisdom, all of your hard work, all of your creativity to the table. And since you have more of those things than the average person, this problem should be fixed in no time.

So why is it not?

Why are you still staring down the barrel of the same dilemma?

On today’s episode I share a concept that changed the way I see my problems forever. It’s a concept that revealed a much quicker, much more effortless, much more sane way to approach any problem in my life.

This is the most vulnerable story I’ve shared to date. Which is saying a lot.

I hope you see yourself in it.

Soul Sessions: August 2026 Energy Forecast: Protect, Direct & Free Your Energy Aug 08, 2026

Show notes

August arrives with a powerful vacuum-type energetic effect, driven by major astrological shifts and numerological reckoning. Between eclipse season, key planetary stations (Saturn, Neptune, Chiron), and brushing up against the culmination month of the year, your energy is your single most valuable resource.

In this episode, Amanda shares why she is breaking her 13-year streak of avoiding the phrase "protect your energy," offering a grounded approach to maintaining energetic sovereignty, clearing distraction, and making space for real expansion.

Key Themes & Highlights:

The Vacuum Effect: Understanding the unique overlap of astrologic and numerologic shifts in August.
Protect Your Energy: Why it’s not about fear—it’s about discernment, soul fragmentation, and stopping energetic leaks caused by modern distractions.
Direct Your Energy: How small, intentional choices direct your life force toward what makes you feel alive, expanded, and fully present.
Free Your Energy: Why quantum leaps require empty space, letting go of outdated commitments, and shedding fear- or desperation-based habits.
The 8/8 Alignment: The truth about the Lion's Gate energy, Sirius, and how to stay deliberate through the month.

What's God Got To Do With It?: Acting As If: When Downward Spiral Thoughts Rule Your Life Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

PART 1 of 4: Are you feeling stuck or battling self-doubt? Do you want to take ownership of your life by taking ownership of your thoughts? If yes and yes, then "Acting As If" is for you! Amy Brown & Self-Image Scientist Leanne Ellington designed this 4-part series to help you shift your thoughts, so that “Acting As If” becomes possible for your brain to adopt. In each episode, you get effective strategies to break free from the grip of negativity & gain insights on nurturing an "emotionally healthy" brain.
In PART 1 you learn:
- Why "Acting As If" is not a matter of positive affirmations or fake-it-til-you-make it.
- Rewiring your brain for peace in the chaos
- Distinguishing the data vs the drama of your situation
- How to give yourself your own "reality check" to stop the downward spiral of thoughts in your brain.
We can all struggle with downward spiraling thoughts:
"Why did I eat that?"
"Why didn't he call me?"
"Why can't I stop that?"
"Does that make me a bad mom?"
"Why should I bother? Is this just how it will always be?"
Things like "fake it ‘til you make it" + turning everything “into a positive" will NOT outsmart your brain...and there’s a reason why.

Healing After Abuse + Are My Parents Gambling Addicts? (Couch Talks) Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

We're answering a heartbreaking listener question from a woman who survived a severely abusive relationship, one that included manipulation, threats, and abandonment during her pregnancy, and is now trying to figure out how to move forward knowing she may never get justice, accountability, or an apology, especially watching her ex seemingly land on his feet.

Then we shift to a listener wondering if her parents' frequent casino trips have crossed the line from hobby into addiction, and how to bring up the fact that she and her kids would love to see them more, without it turning into a fight.

We also play a voicemail from a listener with nearly 700 skydiving jumps under her belt, trying to convince us to finally give it a shot.

A heads-up: this episode touches on abuse, addiction, and suicide threats. If any of this hits close to home, please take care while listening.

What The Hell Are We Doing With Our Lives + 6 Rules to Avoid Being Cringe Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

We break down the idea of an annual "Girls Dinner" (specifically built around the question "What the hell are we doing with our lives?"), where you and your closest friends put your phones away and answer things like what you want more of, what you're tolerating that needs to change, and what you'd go after if you knew every woman in the room had your back.

Then we shift into 6 rules for avoiding cringe behavior, from speakerphone use in public to scrolling through someone's photos without asking.

We also share our feelings of the day and get into whether it's too soon to buy a "Golden Girls" style house with your best friend decades before you're actually that age. We also ask a question that doesn't come up enough: do you ever lie about your occupation? For example, would you lie about being a therapist to a stranger on a plane just to avoid unpacking their childhood trauma on vacation?

Oh, and we watched the documentary "A Toxic Love Story" and we have thoughts.

Is It Okay to Use AI as Your Therapist? Plus: Going No Contact With Family (Couch Talks) Jul 30, 2026

Show notes

This week we're tackling a listener question that's been on everyone's mind: is it okay to use AI as your therapist? We break down the real pros and cons, from accessibility to the risk of over-relying on something that can't read a room or hold real accountability.

Then we dig into a gut-wrenching anonymous voicemail from a mom navigating estrangement from one of her sons…we also talk about how social media algorithms may be quietly reinforcing family cutoffs once someone goes down that road.

We lighten things up with a listener's amazing story about her mom, a 1960s nursing student who was so determined to give birth without twilight sleep medication that she bit her lip through labor rather than make a sound, delivered 7 of her 9 kids naturally, and went on to become a Lamaze instructor.
