In part 2 of this quarter's series where Kate answers listener voicemails, she covers a lot of ground with a wide range of topical depth. This episode covers:

-A discussion of the 'Troubled Teen' industry and the under the radar abuse of boot camps/wilderness therapy camps/conversion therapy programs that con parents into thinking that legitimate therapeutic treatment is being provided to their children. -An overview of what happened with Chrissy Teigen & Courtney Stoddard and a diatribe about the complexities and propaganda of cancel culture vs. general accountability -A nostalgic detour through official hot girl shoes at different points in Kate's life (remember when Sambas were like Loubs?) -Lauren Conrad: Mob boss or BFF? A thinkpiece on the term 'loyalty' on reality television -True Life: A listener called into the real Delilah. This is her story. -Then, an answer that is so long, half is (already recorded) and needs to be put on Patreon, where Kate responds to a 2 part voicemail from a listener struggling with purpose, contentment, comparison, job satisfaction, and ongoing disappointment due to deviating from their original goals in life. Enjoy!
