This week, Kate sits down with Katelyn James, of Katelyn James Photography (@katelynjames), who is a force in the photography world, an accomplished entrepreneur, an educator to thousands of aspiring creatives, an influencer (not by trade, but through her brand's following) that prioritizes transparency, and last but not least, she also was Kate's wedding photographer in Italy in 2017. In their second hangout ever (first being Kate's wedding), they walk through a broad range of professional and personal topics; such as starting, sustaining, and scaling her business, building a community and client experience, dealing with slow growth periods, learning how to slow down and step away from all-consuming self-employment, projects that did and didn't land, transitioning her work from photography to education, and her million dollar idea that has Kate rethinking her entire career because it's genius. Following that, they have a discussion about her (former) and Kate's (current) fears about having children when there's already not enough time in the day, what has and has not changed with motherhood, and then have a meaningful conversation about influence in a much different way than has ever been discussed on this podcast. Katelyn shares how she draws boundaries as it relates to how much of her real life she puts on social media, talks about finding impact and purpose through difficult seasons, and then discusses the importance of sharing her son James' story to honor his life and give hope to other families enduring an unthinkable loss. This is truly a special episode with an incredible woman; you will marvel at her honesty, openness, and insight, and understand within minutes why Kate has been a KJ superfan for the better part of a decade.

This week, Kate looks under the sister(hood). A former, nay, forever (it's not four years its FOREVER!) sorority girl herself, she loves to reminisce and laugh about the years where we took standards more seriously than the FBI, where we wanted to dance like no one was watching but unfortunately council was watching and if both feet weren't on the ground you were on social probation. To muse about a time where there was no currency more important than being hot, no crime greater than stealing someone's food in a late night drunken racoon rummage, and no greater pain than enduring the painstaking hours, high heel wearing, aggressive clapping, and syncronized chanting during the week of recruitment. The first episode sets the stage, talks about sororities in general, goes through how recruitment works, discusses some of Kate's experience as an extension from Ep 52 "Ween Pics," and a few stories from listeners are told. In part 2, Kate will be telling the rest of the listener stories and detailing the submissions about inappropriate sorority/frat/philanthropy t-shirts from instagram submissions. All in good fun; every school, every sorority and every chapter is different, and this is far more a deep dive into what happens when a large group of young women are thrust into an organization with a ton of rules during the peak age of no one wanting to follow rules. Enjoy!

This week, Kate starts by trying to explain to everyone the anatomy of a current pop cultural phenomenon called a VSCO girl, but inevitably gets a bit sidetracked by the soundtrack to her teen years, largely spearheaded by Dashboard Confessional. She walks through what the VSCO girl trend means, how to spot one, why it's confusing, and why it's basically a lot of stuff we've all been wearing this whole time. She intertwines the analysis with reminiscing about her sickest AIM away messages using emo band lyrics designed to really strike an unrequited crush where it hurts. She also makes an argument for resisting dismissing all things pumpkin and general Autumnal joy as "basic" when it's popular for a reason: it's cozy AF. Then she pivots to talk about Rachel Hollis and her two very popular books, "Girl, Wash Your Face" and "Girl, Stop Apologizing," and how advice that relates to highly situational finances and levels of privilege paired with misguided advice about mental health is, at times, a concerning formula for the most popular self-help book in recent years. Following that, Kate reads her listeners' submissions for their most embarrassing Facebook album titles in high school and college and has a good laugh at her listeners' expense, or should she say her "SKANKZZZZ" expense. Enjoy!
