This week, Kate starts with a quick personal update (but is still on mat leave) and is sharing a pre-recorded episode with Ashley Spivey, an incredible influencer and women's advocate Kate has followed for over a decade ever since her stint on Brad Womack's season of The Bachelor. They reminisce about the early days when Bachelor Nation Twitter was fun, how she's maintained an audience ever since the show, her experience nannying full-time, challenges of finding childcare, meeting their husbands at bars in NYC, etc. Then they venture into the inception of Spivey's Book Club, her current book recommendations, their favorite childhood books, and thoughts on Colleen Hoover, followed by a discussion about navigating pregnancy after loss, Ashley's advocacy with the Stillbirth Prevention Act, her perspective on motherhood, and so much more.

This week, Kate's on mat leave and invited Claire and Emma (from Love To See It podcast, formerly Here to Make Friends) to review one of Kate's favorite semi-problematic romantic comedies: The Wedding Planner. They discuss the wedding romcom industrial complex, some of their favorite recent romantic recaps that did or didn't stand the test of time, and then dive into one of J. Lo's finest films, where the audience is made to root for a wedding vendor creeping behind their client's back to seduce the groom. They LOL at the tried-and-true tropes, eye-roll at the gender dynamics, talk about the unlucky-in-love career woman archetype, and reexamine Matthew McConaughey's character, wondering just how much ethically questionable behavior we're willing to overlook if you work at a children's hospital and save a Jimmy Choo from being steamrolled by a dumpster.

This week, Kate interviews influencer Caroline Calloway about her backstory leading up to her debut memoir, Scammer, whose title is a nod to her online reputation following a myriad of scandals throughout her decade on the internet. They discuss various elements of her internet lore, like backing out of a $500,000 book deal, the mason jar workshop, projects that have fallen through, being sued by her landlord, the infamous article written by her ex-friend Natalie in The Cut, etc., and then get into the book itself. Kate asks if Scammer's rollout was meant to be scammy, dives into Caroline's obsession with academia and becoming a memoirist, and then Kate shares the parts of the book she enjoyed as well as the parts she felt crossed a line in how they frame another person's trauma.
