    19. "Can't Sink Truth": Pursuing Buoyancy in Life After the Drowning of her Son- Dana Gage

    Kate had me meet... Dana Gage. I was fortunate to cross paths with Dana during a stay in Waco, Texas two years ago. As I battled cancer, she shared her battle of living life without her son Connor. After losing him to a preventable accident, Dana has lived a life pursuing water safety and drowning prevention. Her story is powerful, and we can all be better after listening. Here in MN, we have had nearly 30 drowning accidents in 2021. It is July 1, and we have only had swimmable hot weather for a couple months. www.theLVproject.org  www.familiesunitedtopreventdrowning.org www.honorconnorrun.com Instagram: @danagage @theLVproject @poppyandryehouse @honorconnorrun

    18. Purpose in the Pain: How a Baby, Depression, and Cancer Lead to this Podcast

    Celebrating life, perspective, and humanity is usually the short version of how I explain this podcast. However, the roots of the podcast run deep. Today I unpack much of what brought me to the point of finally creating and publishing Kate Had Me Meet. The road wasn't easy, but it was needed.  The birth of our daughter Verabeth, devastating depression/anxiety, and a cancer diagnosis all happened within a seven month period in 2018-2019. It was amazing to discover how I reacted when forced to suddenly fight for my life. It was all very unexpected.  Thank you for listening. When I say it means the world... it really does, as you'll hear today. 3

    14. The Best of Episodes 1-4! Talking about race with Jebeh, Shaniqua, Noah, and Mark

    When I selected my favorite portions of Episodes 1-3, I noticed they each discussed race and/or privilege. While it is a favorite topic of mine, I truly love how three very different people discuss their relationship with race. It's a conversation we should all be having with ourselves and our circles. Mark Hagland was featured in episode 4, and we spoke a few days ago about his new book! Highlights from this conversation are featured in this episode as well. You can find his book at www.markhaglandbook.com Thanks for listening to my guests!
