Sometimes life just happens. Whether we wanted it to or not. Joy happens, chaos happens,

shit happens, tragedy happens, hope happens, love happens. Everything happens, period.

I'm Kate. I'm a professor, speaker, podcast host, a New York Times bestselling author,

which makes it sound like I believe in living your best life.

Don't worry, I don't. My motto is, life is so beautiful, life is so hard.

And if you've ever ruined some perfectly good small talk at a party with your honesty, we are already friends.

This is a podcast for those of us who get it, those of us who crave honesty and practice courage

even when we really didn't want to and maybe tolerate more dark humor than the average person.

The ones who understand that life isn't a series of formulas or platitudes,

that more often than we'd like to admit, we can't solve our fundamental humanity.

But we have to learn to live alongside at all, with courage, with honesty, with more people than is convenient.

You know, like a real human being, who knows that life isn't easy, but it is beautiful.

Especially when you remember that you're loved, or at least liked.

I'll settle for liked.

Join me and a few wise, funny, and kind conversation partners as we share what we've discovered

during our sometimes inexplicable, okayest life now lives on the Everything Happens podcast.

Available everywhere you get your podcasts.

Episodes start September 5th. I can't wait for you to listen.
