*In June 2020 Jen Gotch resigned from her position as Chief Creative Officer at Ban.do after allegations came to light of racism within the company and by Jen herself. When this episode aired, we were unaware of the climate at Ban.do, and hope that the company and Jen will follow through on their promises to create a more respectful and inclusive workplace. We’ve left this episode up to maintain transparency with listeners.

Kate starts playing Animal Crossing to relax and struggles with diet culture messaging during social distancing, and Doree begins to plan for Henry’s first birthday, quarantine-style. Then they're joined by Jen Gotch, co-founder of ban.do and author of The Upside of Being Down, who discusses her mental health and therapy journey, why she schedules fun on her calendar, how she's embraced aging, and why “Desert Jen” is an entirely different person than “LA Jen.”

Kate and Doree have the pleasure of chatting with Niharika Desai (Principles of Pleasure) about her long friendship with Doree dating back to 1995, how she overcame a feeling of shame around a (well-deserved) daily nap, directing the new Netflix doc series Principles of Pleasure,  and all the ways she’s learned to own her personal narrative from being an MTV World VJ to her long-distance marriage. Plus, Kate makes peace with another surgery for her hand and Doree loves recommending prods to people.
