Dr. Kate Henry is a Productivity Coach who specializes in sustainable and well-being-oriented productivity. Dr. Henry holds an MFA in Creative Writing and a MA and PhD in Rhetoric and Composition from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. As a Productivity Coach, she guides academics and creatives to develop actionable and achievable productivity and time management practices so they can achieve short-term and long-term goals without feeling overwhelmed. In addition to her work as a Productivity Coach, author, and podcaster, she loves to collect artisan mugs and go on walks with her spouse and her 7-pound chihuahua.  Here’s what’s in store for you:  We are briefly fangirling over Kate’s professional journey and learning her #1 productivity approach that’s not only helping her clients but that she’s using as well to work with accessibility, care, and deep intention. We’re then deep-diving into fangirl mode for:  The badass legacy of Edythe Eyde: We’re recovering the story of the queer trailblazer behind Vice Versa, the first lesbian magazine in the U.S. published in 1947. She was a musician, a secret sci-fi writer, and a true everyday activist - and Kate is literally writing the book on her! The healing power of queer joy: We explore why the Heated Rivalry fandom is a masterclass in community and why "happily ever afters" are a form of emotional repair. Content Guidance: To ensure a safe listening experience, please note we briefly touch on historical homophobia, discrimination, and the often-painful ways queer people have been depicted in media.  Note: This episode has our most extensive show notes yet.
