Trust me, I’ve been there. In this episode, I sit down with Emmy Bright from Real Good Nutrition to dive into intuitive eating and body acceptance.
In this raw, honest conversation, I get real about my rollercoaster ride with diet culture. From chasing that "perfect" body to dealing with the emotional stress of weight gain, it all led to a life-changing realization: diets were never the answer.

- Tips for building self-compassion and cultivating a positive body image
This episode is your invitation to ditch the guilt, quiet the food police, and find freedom in your body. Emmy and I want to inspire you to let go of the toxic narratives around dieting and start living a life that feels joyful, healthy, and true to who you are. Tune in for a conversation that’ll leave you feeling empowered to develop a joyful, guilt-free relationship with food.

08/26/24 • 81 min
You've probably heard all the stereotypes about homeschooling—you know, the socially awkward kids who spend their days sewing socks in long skirts and bonnets. But let’s be real, that’s not what modern homeschooling looks like.
In this episode, I sit down with two amazing homeschooling moms, Erin Tomlinson and Kensey Hering, to pull back the curtain on what homeschooling really is.
Spoiler alert: there’s no bonnets involved.
Erin and Kensey trusted their instincts and took a different path with their kids’ education, and they’re here to share the highs, the challenges, and everything in between.
We get into:
- How Erin and Kensey made the leap from traditional schooling to homeschooling
- The initial pushback they faced from friends and family
- Busting the biggest myths about homeschooling
- The go-to resources they swear by to make homeschooling work for their families
- How their lives—and their kids’ lives—have transformed since making the switch
Whether you’re curious about homeschooling or just want to hear from two moms who are making it happen in real life, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Trust me, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss!

Ever feel like you’re back in middle school when navigating friendships? You’re not alone...
The truth is, friendships can be tricky, no matter what age you are.
In this very first Dear Katy episode, my close friend Janna and I dive into the initial batch of questions from listeners. We tackle some real-life dilemmas about self-worth, business partnerships, and how to navigate friendships in midlife.
I even recount a relatable story about miscommunication, highlighting why it’s important to address concerns directly with friends.
Today’s questions include:
- How can I help my friend see her true worth and beauty when she has very low self-esteem?
- I agreed to start a business venture with a friend, but now I’m not so sure about it. What should I do? And why do I keep putting myself in sticky business situations with friends?!
- My closest friends seem to be pulling away. What should I do?
Managing friendships in midlife is all about giving one another grace and being willing to embrace change. Ready for a dose of inspiration and practical wisdom? Tune in to the full episode now!

Ever feel like your finances are a chaotic swirl of receipts, spreadsheets, and panic? I’ve been there.
In this episode, we’re getting real about money—because it’s time to stop pretending we all have it figured out. And who better to help us navigate the mess than my incredible bookkeeper, Nikki Knecht (AKA my financial lifesaver)?
I share some pretty funny (and maybe too relatable) stories about my early struggles with money management—think lots of trial and error, and so many spreadsheets. If you're running a business and feeling overwhelmed by your numbers, you’re going to want to hear this one.
We break down the emotional rollercoaster that comes with trying to manage your business finances, the difference between bookkeeping and accounting (yes, they’re different!), and how you can start to understand and take control of your finances.
Here’s what we get into:
- My early financial struggles and how I found humor (and help!) in the chaos.
- The real, emotional challenges of managing money—like that constant fear of failure.
- The real talk on how societal perceptions can mess with your confidence around pricing your services.
- Why accepting help and setting clear financial goals can be a total game changer for your biz.
- Practical advice for tracking finances and preparing for more in-depth financial management.
