Six months ago we had some things come into our life that were difficult. Extremely difficult. We lost someone unexpectedly and then someone we know was diagnosed with a difficult illness. On top of that, there were some medium-evocative stuff: my kid moved into his junior year of high school which made me start thinking about empty nesting…I was noticing how it takes long for my body to recover after a hard workout… and recently a lot of my work has been changing, due to the pandemic. We are empathizing with the extreme suffering out there for the victims families and for healthcare workers. The theme that holds all of these together is Grieving.
OMG, Y’ALL.
THIS. IS. A. TIME.

I wanted to share this interview with you all, in this challenging time. It’s an interview I conducted this past week with my dear friend Laura van Dernoot Lipsky of TraumaStewardship.com. She’a an expert in caring for people who care for people in trauma—like nurses and first-responders.
I’d wanted to talk with her because I’ve been feeling so much concern for my friends and family in health care, and like all of us I’ve been disturbed by what we’ve been reading about the workers in health care in Italy, Seattle, NYC and beyond. I wanted her advice on how to support them.
In talking to her, though, I came to realize that her methods for supporting caretakers is also excellent advice for how we all can support OURSELVES through this.
I hope you find this as helpful as I did. And of course please share it with anyone whom you think might benefit from it.
Stay safe, and look out for one another,
Katie
Why entrepreneurs always move onto the next thing ("Ooo! Squirrel!") and why you should not stay to slog it out, even when your mother's like, "But you were finally making money!"
Does this sound like you? You're bored easily, you always have new ideas, you're not sure which to pick, you start things and don't always (maybe never?) work to completion before you get excited about some shiny new object. And you're making everyone around you, um, crazy?
You are a creator, you do a million things because that's your gift to the world. Want to stop feeling bad about that?? Listen in!

SHOW NOTES:
So many of you are interested in how on earth to stop doing the job you hate and create an entrepreneurial life where you are the boss of yourself, where you’re creating a career that will sustain you financially, and one in which you loooooove your work. I’ve taught a class for several years called Quit Your Day Job and in that class I’ve noticed over and over so many similarities about the fears of becoming an entrepreneur and today I want to help you guys work through some of them and see not only if the entrepreneurial life is for you, but to also help you save tons of wasted time reinventing the wheel and having difficult fits and starts, when you could really be moving ahead to making your career dream a reality much faster and with less stress and anxiety.

Clearly Sean and I have nothing whatsoever in common. We had a hard time connecting about comedy and improv on another podcast we met on and so we decided to put ourselves through the misery of disagreeing on everything again on my podcast. It was a sad sad day that we met and we hope it never happens again. We have together made the world a worse place filled with apathy and no enthusiasm for our work.

Kelly Carlin, daughter of the comedian George Carlin, is one hell of an insightful woman. One of my dear friends, and long time deep-dive-introspective-conversation-buddy, Kelly and I dish on our comedy process, getting our asses handed to us by great directors, and why after 40 we didn't give a sh*t about what anyone else thinks.
