FEELING THINGS: Showing Up for Your Single Friends & Why We Still Don't Understand Dry Cleaning

In this heartfelt episode of *Feeling Things*, hosts Amy and Kat dive into the emotional landscape of modern life, starting with a candid moment of vulnerability: Amy's shame after failing to name many feelings during a game on *The Bobby Bones Show*. The conversation evolves into a rich exploration of emotional honesty, the pressure of societal expectations, and the overlooked experiences of single friends. They discuss the emotional weight of attending countless baby showers without ever having a child of their own, highlighting how society often only celebrates milestones like weddings and births, leaving single people feeling invisible. This leads to a broader reflection on how we show up for one another across life stages. The episode also ventures into the strange and fascinating—questions about dry cleaning, self-driving cars, and the science behind everyday phenomena—offering both humor and insight. A standout moment comes when Amy shares her son’s friend using a food-scanning app called Yucca to rate frozen pizzas, sparking a conversation about digital tools, generational differences, and the potential psychological impact of such apps on children. The episode closes with a tender reflection on body image, childhood memories, and the power of self-compassion.
