How To Choose What Story About You Gets Told with Ally Fallon

52m · Published 25 Mar 07:00

This week, Ally Fallon is back for round two of YNT, right ahead of the release of her new book, Write Your Story. Her core message for readers is that they already have the magic to be the hero in their own lives – and the number one way to harness your main character energy is to write down your stories. Using her proven 8-step framework, Ally expertly guides readers to tell a more interesting story and begin to make meaning and live with more purpose.

In this conversation, Ally and Kat talk about the importance (and discomfort) of doing things they aren't good at, how we are making meaning regardless of if we want to or not, and what it's like to have a therapist as a parent (possible foreshadowing for Kat's future).

1h 8m · Published 18 Mar 07:00

This week Kat has her friend and licensed aesthetician, Hannah Ellis, back again to dive into the confusing world of skin care, anti aging, and the beauty industry. Have you heard of Frownies? Well, Kat had not and was surprised to find out it wasn’t a nickname for the wrinkles you get when you frown. They are in fact, one more of the products being marketed to us to “slow down the aging process” and Hannah gives us the 411 on if they really work AND if we really need them. And in the biggest plot twist of the podcast this year, Kat and Hannah go from laughing about Frownies to processing the fact that we are all going to die someday…
