She's a real-life gal in her I-do Part part two chapter and I can't wait to get to know all about

her. Welcome Kate to the pod. Hi Kate. How are you? Fine. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.

I love this subject. So I actually, I can't wait to break all this down there's so much oh my god well I'm so excited

that you're open to this um so first of all congratulations for being on the podcast um we have a lot

to deep dive deep into so first of all how long have you been divorced i have been divorced three years and how long have you been divorced? I have been divorced three years. And how long were you guys

married? We were married for 17 and a half years. Oh my gosh, Kate. That is crazy. So wait,

how are you feeling? I feel amazing right now. I feel lighter. It sounds cliche, but I truly smell the roses now.

Even this morning out my window, they're the same roses that have been there for 16 years and it's really just recently.

I'm just, I take the little things in now and just so much more grateful whether, you know,

it's the roses or being with friends.

So yeah, I'm feeling great.

That's not to say there aren't many highs and lows of this.

Oh, my goodness.

Wait, so do you have children?

I do.
