Summary

This week, Kate is joined by Sami Sage (Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Betches) to have a stimulating conversation while they both happen to be stimulating their ovaries. They discuss their respective decisions to freeze embryos (briefly! skip mins 15-25ish if you want to dodge fertility talk), then venture into topics that are half light pop culture and half a deeper religious discussion (Kate’s favorite combo!). First, they discuss their feelings about being renters/city dwellers, then talk about TS and her involvement with Crawdads and David O. Russell, Ben and Jen, DeuxMoi’s identity reveal, Jen Shah pleading guilty, and Kate’s frustration in feeling like Miami swim week on Tiktok is VS fashion show deja vu. Then, Sami shares some of her experiences and observations in the context of Judaism that are related to the topics Kate often covers re: Evangelical Christianity. She discusses the differences between identifying as secular or non-secular, shares some differences about Jewish summer camp relative to Kate’s experiences, discusses what purity culture looks like in the context of certain Orthodox practices, explains the antithetical nature of abortion laws, etc. Overall a balanced and interesting episode that hits on hot topics and also provides a helpful perspective about commonly discussed topics on BTI5 in the context of another faith experience. Enjoy!

0:00.0	Hi everybody, welcome back to the Be There In 5 podcast.
0:13.5	I'm Kate Kennedy, your host.
0:15.4	You know, I've been talking to myself a lot lately and this week I was excited to phone
0:21.7	a friend, a friend of the pod and a good friend of mine over the past year or so.
0:27.1	Ever since we recorded together on the episode, it's Brittany Beaches.
0:31.3	I bring back the co-founder and chief creative officer of the Empire that is Beaches, Sammy
0:36.8	Sage to talk with me about a variety of topics.
0:40.7	I get two kinds of feedback that are in direct contradiction to one another and it becomes
0:46.2	hard for me to know how to implement it because some people really like lighter fare,
0:55.8	pop culture, fodder, kind of less evergreen hot topics.
1:02.0	And I do two.
1:03.2	I often shy away from those because they're often covered more in depth or in a better quality
1:08.9	fashion in many other platforms that do brevity and speed better than I can.
1:16.3	And then I get feedback that people like when I lean into the heavier stuff, people like
1:21.1	the more deep religious discussions, the existential crises of the humanial existence.
1:27.8	And what's great about this episode is that it's a blend of both, a little bit of something
1:30.6	for everybody.
1:31.6	I wanted to call Sammy not only for her ability to provide dynamic and insightful conversation,
1:41.6	but also because we both happen to be in the process of freezing embryos and I don't
1:47.8	know, it was nice to have some solidarity in what's been kind of an interesting week of
1:54.4	new territory for me.
1:56.2	If you don't want to hear fertility stuff, you know, skip ahead, it's like maybe minute
