This week, Kate starts by talking about her trip to New Orleans, has some thoughts about being a bridesmaid, discussing not her own friends' weddings but the theories she has about bridesmaid makeup and frequent silhouettes. Following that there's some discussion of having an awkward body type, resenting dress try-ons and how, yet again, Kate is able to link this to something she once heard at church camp. Then, she mentions the outreach received by listeners as it relates to discussing how millennials were spoken to about relationships in non-secular contexts and opens the discussion about a pop culture church phenomenon of the 90s, True Love Waits. This is going to be a future episode, but she talks about some of her thoughts to start a dialogue and tell listeners to reach out if they want an anonymous story shared. Somehow that turns into Kate discussing what she realized is the common denominator of all of her #fauxliage posts, and peppered into this discussion of the Danish phenomenon hygge, she talks about managing travel expectations, disappointing trips, bloggers photoshopping vacation destinations, followed by a quick Hallmark Christmas Movie and The Holiday detour. Then, she recaps her (roast) beef with Arby's haters, briefly explaining her disproportionately fancy Arby's and how it spurred an interesting sample size of adult intellectual 'blind spots' that BTI5 followers have misunderstood their whole lives. Some are new, some from Instagram, all are hilarious reminders that we always have more to learn. Enjoy!
