Write Your Story: What Your Creative Resistance Says About You (Hint: It’s Not What You Think)
2d ago00:40:05Tap to summarizeDo you ever feel like you’d be more creative if you were simply more disciplined? Like you need to get your life together to get some creative work done? That if only your proverbial ducks were in a row, then you’d have access to the creative genius you’ve always imagined? What if the opposite is true? In today’s episode, I explore the relationship between creative resistance (procrastination, laziness, lack of discipline, being “stuck”) and creativity itself. And my take is this: maybe you don’t need to be more disciplined to be more creative. Maybe you need to accept the power of procrastination for what it is: an open door to your creative longings. Join me to unlock a radical acceptance of your laziness, your messiness, your procrastination, your avoidance, your hesitation and even your self-doubt. What if they all belong?

Soul Sessions: June 2026 Energy Forecast: Revelations & Reckonings
3d ago00:49:09Tap to summarizeJune 2026 is a curious, intense, and profoundly internal month setting the stage for massive external disruptions later this summer. In this episode, we break down the June energy forecast, exploring the potent 1+7 numerology frequency that brings a massive psychic awakening—along with a heavy shadow of isolation and delusion. We discuss the major astrological shifts, including Chiron entering Taurus (initiating a new 7-year collective wound around money and worth), Uranus squaring the Nodes, and a late-month Mercury Retrograde. This month is a point of no return: stop keeping secrets, tend to your nervous system, and find the community that enriches your soul.

What's God Got To Do With It? Why Your Teen Doesn’t Know Who They Are Anymore (And How to Help Them Build a Self-Image That Won’t Crumble)
3d ago00:19:40Tap to summarizeIn this final episode of the Teenager Brain series, Leanne dives into the root of it all: the identity crisis. Teens today don't have a stable sense of self. They don't know who they are, what they value, or what they stand for. And their sense of self rises and falls with every like, every comment, every comparison. One day they're confident. The next day they're convinced they're not enough. And you're watching it happen—not knowing how to help them. Here's what makes it even worse: Nobody knows what's real anymore. Your teen is scrolling Instagram, comparing themselves to someone's "perfect" skin—but they don't know it's a filter. They're comparing themselves to someone's "perfect" body—but they don't know it's AI-generated or Photoshopped. They're measuring themselves against a standard that doesn't even exist. Their self-image is being shaped by lies. By filters. By comparison culture. And they have no stable sense of who they are. But here's the good news: We can teach students how to build a self-image that's rooted in internal truth—not external validation. Leanne peels back the curtain on the 4-step system taught inside the Teenager Brain curriculum—the system that builds emotional fitness, which builds emotional resilience: Step 1: Regulate – Go from panic to calm in under 30 secondsStep 2: Separate – Separate truth from lies, data from dramaStep 3: Narrate – Take ownership of your story instead of letting your brain spin worst-case scenariosStep 4: Use Your Inner Compass – Build a self-image rooted in who you are, not what the world says about you This is what happens when we teach students the 4-step system. Not perfection. Not eliminating hard things. Just giving students the tools to build emotional fitness—which builds emotional resilience—before these patterns become decades of struggle. Ready to bring these tools to your school or teen? Head over to TeenagerBrain.com to request a free sample lesson. You'll see exactly how the Teenager Brain curriculum works and test-drive a full lesson from the perspective of both the student and the facilitator. We're looking for our next 25 pilot schools for Fall 2026. This is a 4-week plug-and-play emotional fitness program that teaches students how to regulate their emotions, separate truth from lies, and build a self-image that lasts—without adding to your workload. The window is open. Their brains are ready. The time is now.

Weird Things People Do That Are In Love, The 10-Minute Tan & More
1w ago00:52:58Tap to summarizeLove makes people do weird things and we're getting into all of it. Biting, tickling, farting, and whatever else happens when you're truly comfortable with someone. Plus, Kat is feeling grateful for the overwhelming sunscreen recommendations that came flooding in, and Amy is in a full good mood thanks to a new 10-minute self tanner that changed everything. Then... dumpster diving. A mom and daughter hit the jackpot behind Home Goods and walked away with a car full of brand new items, tags still on, completely free. Area rugs, ceramic vases, fleece blankets, baking dishes. They go over a list and the pro tips you need if you want to try it yourself. Sunday is apparently the day to go! And listener Susan from Austin writes in with a beautiful note, a baby name idea for Kat, a Canyon Ranch recommendation, and the kind of encouragement that reminds you why we do this.

Purity Hot Tubs & Insults To Keep In Your Back Pocket (Couch Talks)
2w ago00:36:30Tap to summarizeAmy’s algorithm exposed her to purity culture hot tubs with worship music…which led to Kat sharing her algorithm…it’s all pregnancy and baby stuff all the time (i.e. Kylie Jenner gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy.) Amy went over a list of insults so intelligent you don’t realize you’ve been roasted until a few thoughts later. Sam from Boston called in sharing her go-bag hack for contact lens wearers, and Heidi emailed giving us the full mineral sunscreen download after three years of family testing.

Is Your Phone Making You Less Attractive? Also, Your Texting Habits Reveal More Than You Think
2w ago00:52:37Tap to summarizeKat’s feeling excited and Amy’s feeling thankful! Amy also gets real about a candid confession from an ex who called her out for being on her phone too much during their relationship, which leads perfectly into the episode's first big topic. They break down exactly what your "OK" texts say about you. Whether you're sending a firm "OK." with a period, a passive-aggressive thumbs up, or a flirty "OKAYYY," your texting habits reveal more than you think. That conversation opens the door to a fascinating new study on phubbing, the habit of ignoring the people in front of you in favor of your phone, and how putting your device down can actually make you more attractive, warmer, and more likable to the people around you. On a lighter note, Amy and Kat make a case for bringing back the lost art of popping in on your friends, because sometimes the best hangs are the ones nobody planned. They also tease a potential vacation together and share a genius travel hack for scoring deeply discounted trips on reservations that other people had to give up. And finally, a listener named Ashleigh from Georgia calls in with an important food safety PSA: those frozen peas you've been tossing straight into your seven-layer salad? Yeah, you need to cook them first. Consider yourselves warned. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE! (FeelingThingsPodcast.com) Sign up for the Feeling Things newsletter HERE!

Write Your Story: On Creativity and Capitalism
2w ago00:38:18Tap to summarizeCan you make money from your creativity? Of course. But does capitalism get in the way of your creativity? Also, I will argue, yes. On today’s episode I take up a conversation that has been going on for centuries: a conversation about the tension between art and commerce. Or as I will call it: creativity and capitalism. Except this time I take the conversation beyond how to create a beautiful thing detached from revenue to discuss how to live a life from a place of utter truth and authenticity, which is the ultimate pillar of creativity. In a world obsessed with the bottom line, this isn’t easy but it’s more important than ever. Link to Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way HERE!

Soul Sessions: How to Heal Your Throat Chakra and Speak Your Truth
2w ago00:49:28Tap to summarizeUnlock the power of your pure tone. In this episode of our chakra deep dive, we explore the Throat Chakra —the gateway of manifestation and the seat of your authentic frequency. It is about more than just the words you speak; it is the voice inside your head, the perspective you hold, and the magic you weave into your physical reality. We discuss how to move past the "internal programs" of self-doubt and scarcity to find the gravitas and magnetism that come from speaking your truth. From the physical connections of the jaw, neck, and ears to the upcoming shifts of Uranus in Gemini, we cover how to calibrate your communication for the new age of intuition. In this episode, we cover: The Anatomy of the Throat: Why neck pain, jaw tension, and ear issues are linked to your expression. Internal vs. External Voice: Identifying the "fear voice" and returning to your soul’s pure tone. Imbalance Triggers: How people-pleasing, over-explaining, and social anxiety block your frequency. The 3 Checkpoints: A powerful tool to use before you speak to ensure clarity and alignment. Epigenetics & Frequency: How your cells respond to the vibrations of your thoughts and words. The Magic of Authenticity: Using words as an inexhaustible source of healing and transformation. Journaling Prompt for this Week: Where am I speaking from my pure tone, and where am I still editing my truth to manage others? Additional Resources: Ready to go deeper?

What’s God Got To Do With It?: Why Your Teen’s Emotions Are All Over the Place (And What’s Really Happening in Their Brain) [Teenager Brain Series Part 4]
2w ago00:16:36Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Leanne dives into emotional dysregulation—why your teen melts down over the smallest things and can't bring themselves back down. When a teen experiences something that feels threatening, stressful, or overwhelming, their brain's alarm system (the amygdala) goes off and sends them into fight-or-flight mode. Their heart rate spikes, their breathing gets shallow, and their prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for rational thinking and emotional regulation—goes offline. That's why your teen can't "just calm down" when you tell them to. Their "sound mind" is literally offline. And here's the thing: In teenagers, the prefrontal cortex is still under construction. It's not fully developed until around age 25. So when a teen's brain goes into fight-or-flight, it's even harder for them to bring themselves back down. But here's the good news: We can teach students how to regulate their nervous system. We can teach them how to go from fight-or-flight to calm in under 30 seconds. Even if they've never been able to calm down before. Even if meditation doesn't work for them. The way we teach it at Teenager Brain is different—it's a foolproof way to access the nervous system through the sensory system, and anyone can do it. Leanne shares powerful examples of what changes when students learn to regulate—from handling friend drama without spiraling, to processing a bad grade without melting down, to navigating social media rejection without falling apart. This is what happens when we teach students how to regulate their nervous system. Not perfection. Not eliminating hard things. Just giving students the tools to process their emotions, respond instead of react, and be emotionally available to themselves. Ready to bring these tools to your school or teen? Head over to TeenagerBrain.com to request a free sample lesson. You'll see exactly how the Teenager Brain curriculum works and test-drive a full lesson yourself.
