Summary

Hey ass kickers! I am bringing you another episode of Conversations About Shit That Matters with Unqualified People. My “unqualified person” this week is my friend Kate Anthony, who helped me kick off this series several months ago. For newcomers, here’s a brief introduction to Kate: Kate Anthony is a certified life coach who specializes in helping moms decide whether they should stay in or leave their marriages. This week, Kate and I are talking about rape culture. Kate is truly kick-ass, one of my dearest friends, and someone I feel totally comfortable with unpacking this sensitive topic. And, rape culture is a lot to unpack. As a reminder, before we get started, this is not an episode where I am teaching about rape culture. It’s an honest conversation between two unqualified people, emphasis on unqualified, about a very important and hard topic. We cover a lot, including what rape culture looks like, how we all participate in it, and some ways to start conversations with people about it. In this episode you’ll hear: Identifying rape culture and Kate’s experience with being slut-shamed in high school Defining toxic masculinity Our thoughts on Brett Kavanaugh and what he could have done to make the situation different Rape culture, protecting the internal patriarchy, and denial of sexual assault How to start to have deeper conversations with others and take steps towards change Bringing men into the conversation about rape culture and toxic masculinity Kate’s experience with today’s dating scene and why she has decided to take a step back from it 💥🎉FREE LIVE TRAINING! 💥🎉 Okay, y’all-- there are two topics I’ve seen come up over the last few months during my retreats and programs. One is trusting women-- why do we have such a hard time with this and how do we overcome it? The other is the concept of feeling “good enough”. Do we just decide this and wait for it? Is it a mindset issue? Or something else? Join me on Friday, November 9th at 12:30 eastern time where I’ll break down these two topics and give you some tangible steps to take to make this happen in your life. As you know from my book HTSFLS, both of these topics are IMPERATIVE for you to stop feeling like shit and start living your kick-ass life. See you there!

0:29.8	Hey there, ask kickers. This is an unusual introduction, not like my usual. I will get to the
0:35.9	podcast episode in just a moment. This is not an ad. This is not a
0:39.1	commercial. I beg you to not fast forward this. Last night, the night before the podcast was
0:46.9	supposed to go live at 6 p.m. I sent an urgent email to my team saying stop the presses, pause the podcast episode that's going out very, very
0:57.6	early in the morning because I don't feel comfortable with it going out yet. I wanted to record
1:02.2	this quick audio for you to talk about something that I said in the podcast that's been
1:07.2	bothering me pretty much since I recorded this episode, I don't know, maybe a week
1:11.3	and a half ago or so, with Kate. And yesterday I reached out to Kate and I said, remember that part
1:16.9	in the podcast where I said this? What do you think about that? It's not sitting with me well.
1:21.8	And she started laughing. And she said, when you said that, I thought to myself, oh, that's going to piss some people off.
1:29.3	And I was like, okay, then my gut is telling me that I need to do some thinking about this.
1:34.9	I've been thinking about it and I decided not to edit out what I said in the podcast episode,
1:40.6	but I do feel like I need to preface it and I need to explain because I care so much
1:46.8	about y'all. All right. So in the podcast episode, you will hear Kate and I talking about the
1:52.4	Kavanaugh hearings and what happened with all of that. And there is a part in the episode where I say
1:58.3	for those people who think this, and I'm just going to wait until you listen
2:02.9	to the episode, I said, fuck you. And I didn't just say it once from what I remember. I haven't
2:09.6	gone back and listened to it. I said it more than once. And I think that there, in my community of
2:17.0	listeners, there's going to be a lot of you who agree with
2:20.6	what I said and feel the same pain and hurt of what I'm feeling and I think that there's going to be
