• Chasing Dreams, Double Standards, and Somehow...Conjugal Visits (Couch Talks)

  Amy and Kat share a listener email from Julia in Wisconsin. Julia is getting ready to hike 1,200 miles solo (a dream she’s been chasing for years) and she’s tired of people asking what her husband thinks about it. Amy and Kat talk about how to respond when people project their fears or outdated ideas about relationships onto your dreams, and why you don’t need to defend living a big, brave life. There are way more interesting questions like: What is she going to eat? Will she hike with others she meets along the way? Where will she sleep? What if you encounter a bear? How often does her husband get to visit her? We hope this chat offers some encouragement for anyone working toward something others might not understand. You don’t need permission to be proud of yourself. Also, Kat gets an update from Amy on the Face Fitness trial that she signed up for at the first of April.

• Feelings Aren’t Facts, Stretching vs. Compromising, and Why Talking to Yourself Is Actually Genius

  Amy and Kat dive into the important reminder that feelings aren’t facts. Yes, feelings give us information, but they don’t always tell us the whole truth. They also talk about why confusion might actually be a sign you're growing, why talking to yourself out loud is a good thing (according to science!), and how to build curiosity instead of judgment when emotions get messy. Plus: Amy shares a funny story about stretching, Kat breaks down what to do when a therapist gives you the ick, and a beautiful email about finding hope during a hard fertility journey Remember: your feelings are real…but you get to decide how much they drive the car!! Have the day you need to have!
