Fifteen Minutes With Amy and Faith

This Valentine’s Day, join Amy & Faith as they share heartwarming stories and reflections on love, connection, and meaningful gestures. From childhood Valentine’s cards to thoughtful surprises between partners, they explore the moments that make us truly feel love. Whether it’s a small act of kindness or a nostalgic memory, this episode is all about celebrating the love that surrounds us every day.

Not everyone grew up hearing I love you. In this episode, Amy and Faith explore how to recognize love through the five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.

Through personal stories and generational insights, discover how to both give and receive love meaningfully — even if the words weren’t said growing up.

Join Amy and Faith as they welcome life coach Emily Orginz (Parenting for Independence) for a special episode on Groundhog’s Day, sustainability, and eco-conscious living. 

Emily explains why Groundhog Day is one of her favorite holidays and how observing natural cycles connects us to the earth. We explore practical tips for reducing waste, recycling, reusing, and repurposing, and dive into the expanded 10 R’s of sustainability — rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, restore, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, recycle, and rot.

Discover strategies for shopping your fridge before buying more, repairing instead of replacing, and making mindful choices that make a real difference for the planet. Perfect for Gen X listeners looking to live more sustainably in their everyday lives.

 Is coffee just a drink, a morning ritual, or a full-blown hobby? In this episode of 15 Minutes with Amy and Faith, we explore coffee culture from a Gen X perspective, sharing our personal experiences, funny stories, and thoughtful reflections on what coffee really means in our lives.

From the aroma of a freshly brewed cup to the nostalgia of coffee and cake at a friend’s house, we dive into the social rituals and cozy moments that make coffee more than just a beverage. We also explore whether obsessing over the perfect cup, collecting mugs, or curating coffee accessories counts as a hobby.

A special episode dedicated to thanking our listeners and reflecting on midlife, growth, and rediscovery.

We discuss:

• Life pauses and refocusing on yourself

• Rediscovering passions and opportunities in midlife

• Reflections from 2025 and plans for the year ahead

This episode is for anyone in Gen X navigating midlife transitions, embracing personal growth, and seeking insight into life’s next chapter.

In this special Christmas Eve episode, Amy and Faith talk all things holiday—from cherished memories and meaningful traditions to favorite Christmas movies, songs, cookies, and iconic TV moments.

Listeners weighed in on everything from classic Christmas films (Home Alone, Elf, It’s a Wonderful Life) to the very important question: Is Die Hard actually a Christmas movie? The conversation also covers holiday music favorites, why chocolate chip cookies dominate every cookie discussion, and the beauty (and controversy) of sugar cookies.

Amy and Faith also share Christmas Eve traditions that don’t always get talked about, including what Jewish families often do on Christmas Eve—movies, Chinese food, time with friends—and why gathering together matters more than how you celebrate.

This episode is a reminder that the holidays don’t have to look one specific way. However you celebrate—or don’t—there’s space for you here.

The holidays can be joyful, chaotic and sometimes complicated - especially from a Gen X perspective! In this episode of 15 Minutes With Amy and Faith, we share stories, traditions and tips for finding the merry, the bright and the light, no matter what you celebrate!

Life coach Natascha joins Amy & Faith to talk openly about midlife reinvention, menopause, caring for aging parents, guiding adult children, and preparing for the next chapter with clarity and confidence. She also shares the surprising lessons she learned from her time on The Golden Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise — and why it pushed her to dream even bigger at 50+.

A grounded, hopeful episode for every woman rethinking what’s possible.
