My favorite podcast!

I have been following Dr Kate for several years now and I always learn so much! She is authentic and supportive even when discussing things that can be difficult. She has the best guests on and every episode I am learning and entertained, which is the best combination! The topics are so diverse and every episode brings something new to think about. Everyone should be listening to this podcast and get notified for new episodes! I would give her 10 stars if I could!
