Welcome to another edition of ABWilson's Heart of the Matter. In today's episode, we are joined by Katharina Linnepe—feminist, author, and passionate advocate for equality. Katharina’s empathetic nature and strong vision for a more inclusive world shine through in everything she does.
Katharina joins us from Berlin, Germany, where she’s experiencing the tail end of winter, but keeping the sun alive in her heart. It’s great to have her with us today. Katharina, now adding author to her list of descriptors, begins by defining what feminism means to her. Her perspective is one of inclusivity and shared progress, emphasizing the importance of equality for all.
Describing herself as multi-passionate, Katharina works across various fields: as a presenter, moderator, host, comedian, podcaster, and keynote speaker. Her journey as a keynote speaker began with her first book, and it’s clear that her diverse passions are all driven by her dedication to advocating for feminism and equality.
Katharina’s book, Patriarchy in Therapy, presents an unconventional approach to feminism through comedy. The concept of therapy for our social system, with patriarchy as the patient, is humorous and unsettling. The book’s unique angle uses humor to tackle serious social issues, bringing a fresh perspective to feminism.
Katharina shares her strong belief in the importance of empathy when working towards a world with equal rights. Empathy, to Katharina, is about truly understanding the feelings of the person in front of you, which is crucial for meaningful connections.
Katharina shares some fun facts about herself. She’s a highly sensitive person, attuned to noise, light, and social input—traits she considers a superpower. She’s also multi-passionate, focusing on a central theme of feminism and equality and building projects around it. And, on a lighter note, she doesn't particularly like vegetables—except for tomatoes.
Katharina’s ability to blend humor with serious topics is one of her greatest strengths. She views comedy as a Trojan horse for feminism—able to reach people in a way that traditional discourse might not. Her high sensitivity and empathy also allow her to deeply understand people’s fears, worries, and confusions.
