Podcast: Feeling Things with Amy & Kat
Published On: Thu Aug 28 2025
Description: Amy & Kat respond to a listener navigating a classic parenting dilemma: should she encourage her 14-year-old daughter to invite a girl that doesn’t have many friends to her birthday dinner, even though she isn’t part of her close friend group? Amy & Kat explore the balance between boundaries and empathy, why it’s important to give teens ownership of their social lives, and how parents can model compassion without forcing it.
