And the I'm Laura Tremaine and I have 10 things to tell you and you have 10 things to tell.

This show is about connection with each other and with ourselves and the hope is that the things we talk about

here will be fuel for better conversations and a personal awareness. This is an

interactive podcast.

Each episode has a prompt and a topic that I want you to take to your journal,

text to your best friend, or answer on social media using the hashtag 10 things to tell you.

This is a show about digging deeper and sharing our stuff.

I'll go first.

I stumbled upon Kate Kennedy's podcast, Be There in Five, a few summers ago when I was looking for a deep dive on Taylor Swift. Don't exactly

remember what drama that I was thirsty for but I think I wanted to know more about

the loss of her original masters to Scooter Braun and I wanted to

hear someone talk about Taylor in a smart way that wasn't total fan girl and

also wasn't total disdain. So Kate Kennedy entered my life when I

binged her multiple episodes with Taylor Analysis that were thoughtfully researched and super

insightful, really hilarious, and also they were two plus hours long.

Many, many hours of Kate talking into the microphone alone

and I was absolutely blown away because I've been in

podcasting for years by this time and I always follow podcast trends and I read the how to podcast articles and Kate was doing

something that I didn't see a single other woman doing. She was taking up space. Her episodes were

unapologetically long. She left in the tangents. Sometimes the best stuff was in the tangents.

And from the outside it just looked like she was doing what she liked.

It's that simple, but like that's amazing.
