Welcome back to the Unfiltered Club, where real life gets messy and fiction’s got attitude! In this chapter, Kate serves up a choose-your-own-adventure full of bold boundaries and zero regrets.
This week, Casey’s group chat rides to the rescue after she drops the ultimate “do not text me” bomb on her ex—and guess what, the squad turns it into a full-blown “No Apologies Weekend.” That means no shrinking, no sugar-coating, and definitely no sorry’s unless you actually, truly mess up.
Tune in for group text confessions, wild support-friend energy, and the tiniest acts of rebellion that feel like revolutions. Kate spices things up with podcast-exclusive story beats and a killer behind-the-scenes pep talk on resilience, heartbreak, and how to bounce back like a boss, even when your ex thinks you’re being severe.
And just when you’re feeling invincible? You’ll vote to decide what Casey faces next: an epic jogging mishap, a masked stranger in the dark, or something mysterious in the woods.
If you need some “good girl detox” and a reminder that you don’t owe the world an explanation, you’re in exactly the right place. Let’s get unapologetic!
Welcome to another gloriously unfiltered episode of the Unfiltered Club! In Chapter 18, “Packing Light,” Kate invites you right into the middle of a pre-hike packing party, where backpacks, olives, and the crumbs of last week’s charcuterie dreams are scattered across the floor—and nobody’s brave enough to put on their hiking boots yet.
This week’s adventure kicks off with a plot twist voted in by listeners: instead of Insta-ready feminism, it’s real talk time as each woman in the crew throws down her own sassy, unfiltered definition of what feminism really means. Truth or dare gets messy. Scales and snack boards get emotional. And patriarchy gets roasted harder than trail mix left out at high noon.
And if you thought packing for Spain was all you had to unpack—think again! Kate dishes out some behind-the-scenes wisdom, a sprinkle of actual research, and enough “chef’s kiss” moments to make you wish every packing party ended with feminist mic drops.
So grab a carrot, dodge the shame spiral, and get ready to laugh, cheer, and maybe even say goodbye to a little emotional baggage of your own.
Break the rules, embrace the sassy, and join us for a chapter that proves sometimes the lightest things you pack are the truths you finally say out loud.
Welcome back to the Unfiltered Club, where fiction meets real life and you, the listeners, get to influence the story. In Chapter 17—“Take Two”—Kate guides us through Marley’s journey as she faces an unexpected turning point in her approach to health, self-worth, and feminism.
This episode picks up after the community voted for Marley to make lifestyle changes that will benefit her future self, sparking a deeper exploration of what it truly means to invest in yourself.
As Marley navigates a documentary interview, we witness her becoming aware of how her perfectionism has shaped her attempts at self-care.
Through honest group chat banter and a memorable discussion with Devin about feminism as an act of refusal against toxic body standards, Marley begins to redefine her relationship with her body and her identity.
At the end, you to help decide how Marley will embrace her feminist identity —whether it’s through public advocacy, quieter rebellion, fostering group dialogue, or expressive art. Kate also shares insights from a real-life study showing how identifying as a feminist can protect against negative body image, and offers resources for breaking free from toxic fitness culture.
So, if you’re ready to dive into vulnerability, laugh with Marley and her friends, and challenge patriarchal norms, stick around for another empowering adventure.
