This week I got to sit down with everyone’s favorite pop-culture expert, podcast host, and author: KATE KENNEDY!!
Kate is known for her deep dives about things like American Girl Dolls, Gilmore Girls, Britney Spears and Abercombie and Fitch, but in our conversation we dove deep into the shi**y things that are keeping us 20- and 30-somethings up at night…
It seems like my friends and I are all in VERY different places in life, and sure, we’re all happy for each other. But is it getting harder to relate to the people we once called our pajama friends?
Career shifts: the unedited version. We hear all the time about glorified professional pivots, but Kate gave us her unfiltered truth about the identity crisis and financial terror of starting over in your twenties and thirties. What if you realize the career you’ve been working toward for the past eight years is no longer your dream? What if you left a secure desk job for your side hustle, but as fate would have it, you don’t like where you’re headed? Kate has been there, and gives us the best advice I’ve ever heard regarding this terrifying crossroad.
And of course, the mysterious, often confusing world of fertility and baby-making. Kate joined us a few days after her egg retrieval, and we had real time conversation about what it was actually like. Over the past few years, Kate went from not being sure if she even wanted kids, to getting pregnant, having a miscarriage, an unwanted but medically necessary “abortion”, two rounds of egg/embryo freezing, and some very hard conversations. Unlike most of the conversations surrounding fertility, I promise this one won’t scare you. Instead you’ll leave inspired and empowered by her very real story, and the revolutionary way she looks at our reproductive options.
