Be There in Five

Latest Episodes:

Destiny's Inner Child Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

In this nostalgic deep dive, Kate details her "main character" moments throughout life, AKA moments her hyper sensitive nature and her obsession with pop culture perfectly intersected to produce fake emo song scored movie scenes in her head. Join her as she reviews memories from her recently discovered journals when she was dramatically, if not disproportionately, reacting to very normal adolescent situations, from youth group, to celeb sightings, hook up culture, a Twilight phase, frat parties, study abroad, getting ready culture, all the way to ultimately culminating with an earth-shattering heartbreak at a certain fast casual eatery. She then reads from her journals from her religious phase and explores how her emotional and spiritual evolution led her to this very moment. Enjoy!

Good Will (Bowery) Hunting: Folklore Studio Sessions Deep Dive Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

This week, Kate reports live from an unforeseen all-nighter following Taylor Swift's surprise Folklore Studio Sessions release on Disney+. This holiday season is lonely enough as is, so Kate decided to do an unpolished reaction podcast in hopes of getting it out quickly so no one's watching alone. If you don't have Disney+, that's ok, Kate will give you the scoop about what she said about the album's creation, inspiration, notable lyrics, and most of all… her revealing of the identity of the elusive pseudonym William Bowery. Kate can't help herself and peppers in commentary about Taylor's home decor, as well as irrelevant things like the movie Center Stage and the illicit affair that occurs within The Pina Colada Song, so, you know. Something for everybody? Or maybe nobody? Hard to say, she's tired.

Are You There God? It's Me, at Target. Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

This week, Kate asked listeners what they'd like to be distracted by on election day and listeners submitted a wide range of meaningless topics that are perfect meaningful discussions to listen to while we all do a whole lot of waiting. Whether you are waiting in line at the polls or waiting for results to come in, Kate is honored to keep you company via this one-take unedited casual stream of solo consciousness. Please go vote and remember many locations still take registrations on election day!!

She will fill topics in the description later, Kate hasn't listened back to it since she just decided to do this and is not totally sure what's in here. She recalls explaining a strategy she's planned out for how to win Jeopardy, telling stories about bad roommates, dissecting different types of plaid, ranking celebrity veneers, and at one point she does map which Gilmore Girls character best represents each Taylor Swift album after explaining each era of Taylor Swift's hair evolution, so there's that. Enjoy & take care of yourself!

136. Deep Dive: Cults, NXIVM, and HBO's The Vow Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

This week, Kate has two slightly different episodes that discuss topics related to HBO Max's hit series about the NXIVM "celebrity sex cult," The Vow. In this deep dive, Kate is solo and focuses on the psychological tactics used in the NXIVM cult and compares them to self-help gurus, religious organizations, and MLMs through discussion of the BITE model, Neuro-linguistic programming, and other facets of mind control. She also tells a semi-relevant story about why she got super into researching more about cults over the weekend after a spooky trip. This topic is a little- nay, a lot - outside of Kate's wheelhouse so forgive her for any clunkiness, however, she wanted to explore the 'whys' of how people got themselves into this criminal organization under the guise of professional development. The next episode (will be out soon) is a lighthearted conversation with Kate Casey from the popular podcast Reality Life With Kate Casey where they discuss The Vow (before Kate had finished it) and have a few different conversations surrounding reality TV and various docuseries. Enjoy!

Childless Millennial (Part I) Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

This week, Kate gets vulnerable and discusses what no one wants from a childless millennial: opinions about the prospect of parenting, pregnancy, and motherhood. Rather than provide anything conclusive, she opts for a stream-of-consciousness approach about being at an age where decisions need to be made, feeling ill-equipped to make those decisions, and the implications of social media #momlife on her perceptions of motherhood. She also explores the impossible paradox of being at your career's height amidst your fertility's alleged decline and has an honest discussion about her fears for herself and her own mental health. After discussing this briefly on Instagram, Kate received hundreds of DMs from women at all different phases of their lives who inspired her to do this episode. The point is not to provide an unwanted opinion, but to allow women at any stage of this incredibly important life transition to be allowed to have a voice. At the end, she reads through her DMs to share the meaningful input people wrote to her that helped her feel better by showing a more realistic depiction of parenting outside of the harrowing hashtags. She understands this topic is sensitive, deeply personal, and easily spoken about incorrectly. But more important than being right, she wants you all to feel alright, and figured the first step toward overcoming this anxiety is to talk about it. Enjoy!
