Kate shares her journey of becoming a Psychologist, from attending her own parent’s highschool graduation as a baby and frequently moving as a young child, to an abusive near-death experience at a summer camp, through suffering further abuse as a freshman in college, to eventually finishing her final papers while breastfeeding. Kate has a doctorate in Psychology and describes multiple positions she’s held including an internship at a psychiatric hospital, and caring for inmates at a prison, discussing the unique challenges each job presented. Kate talks about how she dealt with multiple serious health concerns like contracting an infection which put her into a coma and caused partial vocabulary aphasia. She describes how ongoing medical and emotional challenges led to her feeling isolated and depressed, how she dealt with those feelings, and how when she began a podcast as a hobby it brought her community, interaction, and a place where she utilizes her breadth of knowledge.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
