Amy and Kat answer a listener’s question about what “have the day you need to have” actually means…such a good question considering they end every single episode with that phrase! They also settle the great pajama-and-underwear debate and respond to an email that is curious about Amy’s man bashing on the podcast and the Bobby Bones Show.

This episode is a roller coaster in the best way. Kat breaks down a study revealing how Americans actually measure success (spoiler: it’s not fame or money), and Amy explains why Gen Z is “rawdogging boredom” to boost creativity. They also get into China’s new rule requiring influencers to have real credentials, the timeless wisdom of the top regrets of the dying, and two listener calls: one about saying “oh” vs. zero, and one offering a very honest, potentially helpful PSA about labia changes no one talks about. Oh, and the Feeling of the Day? Empowered.

We hesitate to tell our stories for a thousand reasons. It’s vulnerable, for starters, and we hate the feeling of giving others power over us. 

We decide ahead of time that our story isn’t that interesting, that nobody else would care besides us, and that our situation is 100% unique to our experience. 

But what if wisdom is buried inside of your personal story? 

What if keeping your story secret is hiding that wisdom, even from you?

Today’s episode explores this topic and encourages you to take a single step to unpack the miracle that is your personal story.

Saturn and Neptune are Retrograde in Pisces, bringing a period of deep introspection—and potential emotional pitfalls. The energy feels foggy, exhaustive, and heavy, putting our defenses to the test.

This astrological transit can stir up old fears and delusions, making past, unhealthy coping mechanisms sound like logical solutions. Be aware: the temptation toward escapism will be high, whether through old addictions like drugs, alcohol, and food, or behaviors like doomscrolling, overeating, or toxic relationships.

This is a cautionary time. Your nervous system may feel frayed and exhausted, and your internal "check engine light" is on. It's a real danger that you might romanticize destructive behaviors.

In this episode, we arm you with spiritual and practical defenses:

• Double Down on Recovery: It's time to double down on asking for help and proactively activating your support systems.
• Tap Into Community: We discuss why friendships and community are your most vital resources against the loud, delusional inner voice.
• The Antidote to Self-Serving: Learn how being of service to others is the antidote to feeling selfish and stuck—a powerful way to get out of your own head.
• Facing the Mental Health Storm: We address why voices of depression, anxiety, and worthlessness may get louder now and remind you that you are not alone.
• Spiritual Defenses: Practical ways to talk to your higher self and ask for support from your guides and spiritual troops.

Don't let old delusions lead you into a darker place. This transit is an incredible evolutionary journey, but you must be mindful. Listen now to learn how to proactively safeguard your sobriety, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being.

What is one specific recovery tool or practice you're committed to using more in the coming months?

Amy and Kat hear from listener Maggie who shares a fun fashion philosophy called The Rule of 7…a style tip that just might change how you accessorize. Amy also shares her new use for witch hazel and a new pet peeve of hers! 

Also, listener Sadie left a voicemail with a heartfelt follow-up to last week’s episode, sharing how an unexpected injury helped her embrace a slower pace and ask, “What does this make possible?”

Alexandra Ballard is the fashion person on Instagram that Amy mentioned: @alexandraballardd. She’s the one that will post outfits you can wear that you likely already have in your closet.

Amy and Kat are both feeling merry this week!! Kat because she just had the staycation of her dreams and she’s already decorated for Christmas (she’s in a season of creating as much joy as possible)! And Amy’s feeling merry because, well, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! However, she had some anxiety pop up around something she thought she’d worked through, so she shares about those feelings as well. Kat reminds her that healing isn’t about being “done” with a feeling…it’s about knowing how to move through it now. When familiar feelings show up again, it doesn’t mean you’re back at the beginning. It’s just a new moment to practice showing up differently…with more awareness, more tools, and more kindness for yourself.

Also in this episode: a cozy stovetop simmer recipe (see below!), the move to make out of a second story should there be a fire (random, but helpful), and a thoughtful email from new listener Dave, who shares how burnout shifted his relationship with work and a reminder to actually communicate needs in a relationship…men aren’t mind readers.

Smells Like Christmas: A Cozy Simmer Pot Recipe

1 large orange, sliced

3–4 cinnamon sticks

1 cup fresh cranberries

1 tablespoon whole cloves

2–3 sprigs of fresh rosemary (or a handful of pine needles if you’re feeling extra festive)

Water to fill the pot

 

How To:

Combine everything in a medium pot.

Fill with water until ingredients are just covered (leave about an inch from the top).

Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Reduce to low and let it quietly bubble away (uncovered) as long as you’d like.

Keep an eye on it and add more water as needed so it doesn’t dry out.

Pro tip…you can reuse the same pot a few times! Just pop it in the fridge overnight and add fresh water before reheating.

 

This little ritual makes your whole house smell like orange, cinnamon, and nostalgia. It’s one of those small, sensory things that makes the holidays feel like the holidays.

What do you do when the people in your life don’t share your faith—or worse, when they actively pull you away from it? A listener sent in this tough but common question, and today, we’re diving deep into how to navigate relationships while staying strong in your walk with God. Maybe it’s friends who don’t respect your beliefs, family members who challenge your faith, or even a romantic relationship that’s making you feel distant from God. So, how do you love people well without compromising your faith?

In this episode, we’ll break down what the Bible says about relationships and influence, how to set boundaries without being judgmental, and how to know when it’s time to step back. Plus, we’ll talk about how your life—not just your words—is your loudest testimony. If you’ve ever struggled with balancing faith and relationships, this conversation will equip you with wisdom, encouragement, and practical steps to protect your faith while still loving those around you.

You pray for change, you genuinely want to do better, and yet… you find yourself stuck in the same old habits. Sound familiar? In today’s episode, we answer a listener’s question about why breaking free from repetitive struggles feels so hard—even when we’re actively seeking God’s help. Whether it’s self-sabotage, toxic relationships, negative self-talk, or cycles of fear and doubt, we’ll unpack the three key reasons why we keep repeating patterns: how our brains crave familiarity, how subconscious beliefs shape our actions, and how spiritual battles keep us stuck.

But here’s the truth: You are not broken. You are not beyond hope. And this cycle doesn’t have to define you. We’ll dive into how Romans 12:2 shows us that real transformation happens through the renewing of our minds, how neuroscience confirms that change is possible, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us beyond sheer willpower. If you’re tired of feeling stuck and want real, lasting change, this episode will give you the tools—and the encouragement—to step into true freedom.

When someone asks, “how are you doing?” Do you smile and say “I’m fine”? 

Or do you tell the truth? 

You might have a thousand reasons for holding back your truth in the face of a relatively benign question like “how are you doing?” — some of which may even be justified. But I suppose a better question is: do you know what is true for you? 

Are you in touch with your own truth? 

Are you able to share it with at least one trusted person? 

And have you considered the power and possibility of sharing your truth more broadly? 

This is what I’m exploring in today's episode. No matter how impossible it might seem to tell the truth — no matter who you think it might hurt or what you worry would unravel, the old maxim is right: only really the truth can set you free.

Rather than bracing for Mercury Retrograde, we invite you to embrace this period (November 9th-29th) as a spiritual refinement process—a chance to clear static from your frequency and let old, outdated narratives dissolve. With three water signs in retrograde (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), the universe is gifting us a profound psycho-spiritual cleanse.

Here’s what we cover:

• The Upgrade Invitation: Why you must engage with the Mercury Retrograde for a deep mental and cognitive rewire, rather than recycling confusion.
• Sagittarius Detox: From Nov 9th, Mercury in Sag demands a mental expansion and belief detox. What limiting stories have been running the show unconsciously? (Be mindful of spiritual bypassing or excessive optimism!)
• Scorpio Confrontation: When Mercury slides back into Scorpio on Nov 18th, the game changes. We move from philosophical to embodiment. This is where the rubber meets the road—truth will come to light, and you can't avoid the red flags.
• Psychic Purge: All three water signs are in retrograde, purifying and detoxing our psyche. We are being cleansed of pain and confrontation that doesn't need to quantum leap with us into 2026.
• Deep Truth Telling: Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio penetrates the underworld of your psyche, exposing what has been hidden. This is the time to integrate your shadows and excavate old junk that has been buried.
• Power Dates: A roadmap of crucial days for action, clarity, and receiving luck: Nov 12th (watch your mouth), Nov 17th (lucky day), Nov 20th (psychic day), Nov 22nd (Master Number day), and celebration on Nov 30th.

This November is a pressure cooker—focus internally, clear the static, and trust that your soul is catching up to the mental and psychic upgrade you are receiving.
