Good On Paper

Kate and comedian/writer/satirist Selena Coppock (@nytvows) discuss the evolution of personality that comes with aging, how to deal with friendship loss and change and the experience of being both aggressive and standoffish with men. A little bit of a lot of things!

For the entire week after the US Women's soccer team won the World Cup, the media has told us that their prominent co-captain Megan Rapinoe is a hero for women and role model for young girls. What if you're a woman who doesn't relate? What if you're actively put off by the unabashed celebrating? Kate tries to parse through her reactions to the win and wonders if these reactions are just internalized misogyny and media overload.

#19 - "I have to be optimistic otherwise I'd never push forward" with guest @sarahsolfails by Good On Paper

Kate sits down with ex-gossip columnist & former reality star Shallon Lester (@shallonxo) to discuss... a LOT: Shallon’s first marriage, why we focus on being engaged versus understanding the reality of marriage, the pressure of modern womanhood and the never-ending hell that is diet culture and being dissatisfied with our bodies. Plus, a lot more! Shallon is the host of her own podcast, “Girl On Top,” and popular YouTube channel “Shallon Lester.”

What does it mean to have it all? We're taught to want it: to fill our lives with family, fulfilling work, and personal growth. But when you have it all, how do you manage it? What is sacrificed? Kate reflects on the circumstances that made her a Stay-at-home Mom and reads mail from women in varying stages of having, and wanting, "it all."

It's Good on Paper - the married with children chapter! Kate is relaunching the podcast to share her struggles with some major life transitions. To contribute to the podcast with questions, stories or ideas, email goodonpaperpod@gmail.com

Every single detail you ever wanted to know because this is my TIME TO EXIST IN SOCIETY!! Excitement!! (Kidding.) Raw, real talk.

Kate talks candidly with friend and comedian Iliza Shlesinger about current state of feminism: how the loudest voices may not speak for everyone, believing in yourself despite setbacks & how to feel confident in yourself (dating & career.)

#10 - The Bachelor & Feminism with Guest Selena Coppock by Good On Paper

Kate shares a non-PC theory about why Lilly Pulitzer is so popular among women.

Why do we insist on berating ourselves at year-end for goals "unachieved"? Kate's message for you (and herself) no matter what you're doing - dating, working, dreaming, creating - keep going.

#4 - Sarah shares reaction, letdown & fear post-election (Part 2) by Good On Paper

Kate and Sarah talk the wonders of social media and how not getting what you want can send you on a better/different track.
