Feeling Things with Amy & Kat

In this episode, Leanne launches a special 5-part series on the teenage brain crisis—and why today's teens are struggling in ways we've never seen before. Nearly 1 in 3 teen girls seriously considered suicide in the past year. 42% of high school students report persistent sadness or hopelessness. This isn't just a mental health crisis. It's a brain wiring crisis. Leanne explains how social m...

In this episode, Leanne explores the question: “What would it look like to trust God with my body?” Drawing from her personal journey and the experiences of many women, Leanne delves into the idea that trusting God with our bodies isn't about achieving perfection but about surrendering control and embracing our God-given worth. Leanne outlines five transformative shifts that can lead t...

If you’ve been feeling over-reactive, stagnant, or like your emotions are a tidal wave you can’t quite control… this episode will help you understand why. Right now, we are collectively moving from the "doing" of the root into the "feeling" of the sacral. What many experience as emotional leakage, overexplaining, or a constant need for external validation is actually a sacral ch...

This week I asked my 4 year old a question that I realized was actually for me: How much would it take for you to be happy?  As I watched him wrestle with this big question, I realized I have the same dilemma he does, the same dilemma all human beings face as we think about how we will love and live: do we surrender everything to discover love?  Or do we fight for what’s “rig...

If you didn’t listen to my episode a few weeks ago about how the worst people in the world sometimes have the most confidence—this week I’m revisiting the topic.  This time, I’m coming in hot with some real-world examples of how my four and five year old kids taught me about confidence.  While watching my preschoolers have the quintessential childhood experience o...

Today's episode is going to be a wild ride, as we dive headfirst into a conversation that's bound to be one of the most raw and real shares we've ever had.

To flip the script and invite you into a judgment-free zone where we ca...

Buckle up. April is not a month for the faint of heart—it is a dynamic, erratic, and electric rollercoaster designed to move you into your highest alignment. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, overrun, or like the world is moving too fast for your nervous system to keep up, there is a reason. We are moving through a 5 Universal Month in a 1 year (10), and the "window of opportunity" is...

A listener introduces Amy and Kat to the concept of an ‘analog bag’ and it might be the most wholesome phone detox idea out there.

Stop adjusting your truth to fit into rooms you were destined to lead. In this episode, we dive deep into the "Zero Point" of identity—the moment where old patterns have come full circle (or rather, full spiral ) and we are forced to confront one question: Do I belong here, or am I still dimming my light to stay? We explore the transition from the fight-or-flight DNA of our ancestors to the...

You are not a problem to solve.  Your life is not a problem to solve.  Your body is not a problem to solve.  It’s easy to lose track of that.  It’s easy to get stuck in a loop of endless problem-solving, thinking that if you can just think harder, work harder, be smarter, or chase down the right information, you might finally feel at peace in your own life.  Bu...

If you feel like you’re losing your mind, your mojo, or your clarity—you aren’t wrong. We are currently walking through an "energetic depression" and reorientation. This month is about integration , not just execution.

Have you ever had a situation where your mind said “yes” but your body said “no”? Or vice versa — your mind said “no” and your body said “yes”?  Maybe someone asked for your help and your mind told you that helping was the kind, generous thing to do but you also felt your stomach tighten, your breath constrict and voice shake as you agreed...

The random...
