This week on Soul Sessions, Amanda Rieger Green maps out the energetic terrain of October — a month she describes as a curious and wild ride. She opens with an oracle card pull, "Relax the Hold of Darkness and Be at Cause," setting the tone for a month that asks for courage, trust, and a loving, courageous heart leading the way. 

Amanda breaks down the astrology at play: Venus retrograde in Scorpio backing into Libra, Pluto stationing direct in Aquarius after months of internal transformation, Mercury retrograde arriving late in the month, plus a Libra new moon and Taurus full moon. Numerologically, we're in an 11/2 master month — an energy of relationships, sensitivity, and higher connection. 

Amanda walks through three major themes to navigate this month: energetic permeability and overwhelm, relational mirroring (what your relationships are reflecting back to you), and the deeper biological mutations many people are feeling as consciousness accelerates. Practical tools included: how to tell if overwhelm is "yours," a simple physical reset for anxiety, and why prayer and intention can be some of the most powerful things you do this month.

What do you do when all the bad things are happening at once? This week, a listener shares that her husband is recovering from open heart surgery while three of her siblings have been diagnosed with serious cancers. She's always been the positive one, but now she feels numb and can't even cry. Should she force herself to feel it, push it away, or just be grateful she's okay? We talk through grief, worry, and how to hold it all when life gets really hard.

Then, a listener finds herself stuck in the middle after her mom and her husband's estranged dad started dating (and even walked down the aisle together at her wedding!). Now the relationship has turned toxic, her husband wants nothing to do with either of them, and everyone is waiting for someone else to apologize first. How do you keep the peace when your family is torn apart?

Comedian & actress Heather McMahan joins Bobby to talk about building a comedy career by trusting her instincts, finding material in real life, and why her husband has become one of her best sources of inspiration. She shares the story of sending a DVD to Jeff Foxworthy, what it was like meeting her hero Joan Rivers, and how those early comedy moments helped shape the performer she is now. Heather also opens up about the chaos of doing IVF wrong twice, talking about fertility on stage, life on tour, comedy cruises, and learning when to finally take a break.

Amy responds to a listener asking about her weight training and Kat shares a simple 4-minute Tabata workout you can do today, no gym or overwhelm required. We also dig into a real parenting dilemma, should kids be forced to hug relatives, or is it okay to let them say no? Plus, an important, gently delivered clarification from a pediatrician about a health organization that sounds official but isn't the source you think it is (good to know before you trust the next parenting headline you see online). And of course, some fun with listeners who relate to Patrick calling his dad "daddy," including one caller's genius compromise nickname. Whether you're trying to move your body more, raise a kid with healthy boundaries, or just feel a little less alone today, there's something here for you.

Working for or with a narcissist can seriously damage your mental and physical health. Today we're breaking down what narcissism actually looks like at work, from the loud, degrading "overt" boss everyone can spot, to the sneakier "communal narcissist" who love-bombs you, plays the hero, and quietly discards you once they've gotten what they need. We talk about why these people rise to the top, how toxic teams end up mirroring dysfunctional families with everyone playing a role, and what to actually do if you're stuck in a workplace like this, including documenting everything, setting boundaries, and being honest with yourself about how much you can really take. Plus, this week's Hasbro Moment honors a teacher, coach, and dad who shows up fully for kids both in and out of the classroom.

In this powerful conversation, Lysa TerKeurst gets honest about something most of us don't want to admit: we all have control issues. And often, what we call "being responsible" or "planning ahead" is actually fear disguised as strength.

As the founder of Proverbs 31 Ministries and a #1 New York Times bestselling author, Lysa has spent years helping women navigate boundaries, forgiveness, and faith. But in her new book, Making Peace With What I Can't Control, she reveals her own struggle with trying to change people who don't want to change, prevent outcomes she feared, and manage things that were never hers to control in the first place.

In this episode, we explore the intersection of neuroscience and faith, how our brains are wired to seek certainty and safety, and what happens when our need for control bumps up against our relationship with God. Lysa shares how to know when we've crossed the line from healthy responsibility into fear-driven control, what it actually looks like to surrender without giving up, and how to make peace with trusting God's heart when we don't understand what He allows.

This isn't about becoming passive. It's about learning the difference between what is actually ours to steward and what was never ours to carry. If you've ever felt exhausted from overthinking, trying to fix others, or wanting to figure it all out, this conversation is for you.

I used to think celebrating myself was self-centered. Self-aggrandizing. 

A waste of time at best. 

An overextension of the ego at worst. If someone else wanted to celebrate me, I would let it happen. But letting it in was a whole different story.

When it came to celebrating myself, it used to be a non-starter. 

But I changed my mind and I want to tell you about it.

This week on Soul Sessions, Amanda Rieger Green explores the space between what we know deep down and what we're actually willing to do about it. Why do we stay in relationships, jobs, and patterns that felt "off" from the very beginning? Amanda breaks down how fear disguises itself as pride, loyalty, people-pleasing, and rationalization — and walks through the shift many of us are feeling between third, fourth, and fifth-dimensional consciousness (and why the "fourth dimension" can feel like walking against ocean waves). She shares a personal pattern she's tracked in herself for years — the quick slide from sensitivity into criticism and self-righteousness — as an example of how to notice and interrupt old coding without shame or over-analysis. Amanda also offers practical, low-hanging-fruit tools for pattern-breaking: movement, sleep intentions, hydration, and nourishing food choices as the foundation for bigger courage and bigger change. If you're staying somewhere because the discomfort feels familiar rather than facing the unknown, this episode is your permission to trust what you already know.

We're answering two emails that hit close to home for a lot of listeners. First, Sarah, 32, writes in feeling like a stranger to herself after a lifetime of being whoever everyone else needed her to be, and asks how to actually start figuring out who she is. We talk through some real starting points, from noticing what energizes you to practicing choosing for yourself in small ways. Then Mary, 47, shares a vulnerable question about a long, complicated relationship with food and her body, and asks how you know if something is "serious enough" to get help for, even when you're still functioning and showing up for your life. We talk through why the answer to that question might be simpler than she thinks.

Amy's feeling proud, while Kat's feeling sad! We confess all the ways we've settled into getting older, from sensible shoes to loving vacuums to not wanting to go to concerts that start too late. Kat takes us through the realization that millennials are no longer "the future" (or the problem child) as Gen Z has officially taken over that title. Plus: a story about the time Amy's mom showed up at school and walked her to class, a mom who told her kids the TV "broke" four months ago, taking a cruise to Antarctica, and this week's Hasbro Moment honoring a teacher whose family tradition of playing Monopoly turned into decades of showing up for a family in need.
