This is the episode of summer reflection for Kathleen and Tricia (and...Katbot). They also discuss their summer workouts and favorite foods. Kathleen shares her daily walks and encounters with a friendly dog, while Tricia talks about her gardening and experimenting with tofu marinades. They also discuss their pre-talk rituals, with Kathleen reframing anxiety as excitement and focusing on storytelling, and Tricia emphasizing the importance of connecting with the audience through stories.
