    In our first ever episode of our first ever season, Brihony sits down an gets saucy with good friend, great DJ, talented actor, and even better human, Kate Lister. **Defining "Special Sauce"** The guest describes her "special sauce" as being a "shape-shifter," a trait she relates to her ability to adapt her energy for different professional roles, especially while balancing the chaos of motherhood. The host notes that the guest is also characterized by her refusal to quit, a trait identified early in her career when she was told she would succeed because she was the most persistent person in the room rather than the most talented.* *Career Journey** The guest's career has evolved through dance, singing, DJing, and acting.She highlights the necessity of having "thick skin" in the performing arts to handle frequent rejections, which she views as growth and an indication that she is in the "mix" with other talented professionals.She discusses the logistical challenges of auditioning, noting the benefit of having a partner who is also an actor for support, despite the inherent difficulties of working in the same industry. The guest recently produced her own feature film, an experience she describes as demanding but rewarding, despite the small budget and the challenge of managing it with a young baby.* *DJ Experiences:** The conversation covers the guest's experiences as a DJ, including instances of technical challenges and the unfair scrutiny sometimes faced by female performers regarding their technical skills. She emphasizes that she maintains professional standards even when dealing with difficult venue situations.* *Advice and Reflection** Reflecting on her past, the guest advises her younger self that being bullied or "picked on" often occurs when an individual stands out or possesses something unique. She encourages remaining persistent, as it will "work out" in the end.* *Ending** The session concludes with a "Fast Five" segment, where the guest identifies as a "toothy gal," shares her love for the *Moana* soundtrack, and discusses the challenges of being a parent to children who are not yet impressed by her professional achievements.
