Falling Off Curbs

We’ve been told that silence is strength. That holding it in, pushing through, staying composed means we’re mature, grounded, grown. But in this episode, I’m calling that out gently. What if being quiet when it hurts isn’t strength? What if it’s just survival we learned too well? This week, I talk about the moments I stayed silent to keep the peace and ended up erasing myself. I share what it’s cost me to be “the strong one,” and how I’ve come to see the real work as bringing my inner child b...

We talk a lot about the patterns we attract—the emotionally unavailable, the inconsistent, the ones who can’t love us the way we need. But in this episode, I ask a harder, quieter question: What if I’m not just drawn to a pattern… what if I’m part of one too? In this deeply honest conversation, I unpack the ways I’ve shown up in relationships thinking I was offering emotional depth—when in truth, I was swimming in someone else’s waters while never inviting them into mine. I explore the ...

Dating while healing is wild. What happens when you start experiencing something healthy...and it feels wrong?

"Perspective isn’t just about what you see—it’s about where you’re standing when you see it." In Episode 6 of Falling Off Curbs, we’re talking about perspective—not just the ones we gather, but the one we own. We’re constantly absorbing perspectives from everywhere—family, social media, culture, community. But at some point, we have to ask ourselves… what do I actually think? Kat explores how we often live inside a mosaic of borrowed viewpoints, piecing together bits of what we’ve heard, what...

"Not everything familiar is real—some of it is just an echo you haven’t questioned yet." Sometimes, growth means stepping into the unknown—a space without a roadmap, a script, or a familiar set to play on. In Episode 5 of Falling Off Curbs, Kat reflects on her journey of realizing that the "world" she had crafted for herself wasn’t real. It was a set built from expired ideas, outdated beliefs, and comfort zones she had outgrown. With humor and vulnerability, she dives into what it means to st...
