Send us Fan MailJenn’s story begins with a single phone call the kind that changes everything. When she learned her mother was in kidney failure, she was suddenly thrown into a medical world she didn’t understand. Overnight, she had to learn new terminology, navigate complex systems and communicate with clinicians who didn’t always listen. What started as a daughter trying to advocate for her mother became a journey that reshaped her life.In this episode of Kali Kat Tap Talks, Jenn shares how stepping into the healthcare system opened her eyes to the gaps in communication, the weight of clinician egos and the emotional toll families face when they’re unprepared. She talks about the moment she realized she had to “learn their language” just to be heard and how that experience changed the way she approached every medical conversation that followed.As she supported her mother, Jenn also discovered her own rare autoimmune disease. Instead of slowing her down, it deepened her empathy and fueled her purpose. She began working directly with kidney patients and families, witnessing firsthand how many people were blindsided by kidney failure and how often early signs were missed or misunderstood. Through these experiences, she saw the urgent need for education, advocacy and support long before crisis hits.That’s how Kidney Contenders was born from lived experience, compassion and the determination to make sure no one else walks this path alone. Jenn built the organization to empower families with knowledge, help them navigate the healthcare system and give them the tools she wishes she had from the beginning.In this episode, Jenn opens up about:The phone call that changed her lifeWhat it’s like to advocate for a loved one in a system that doesn’t always listenLearning to communicate with clinicians and navigate medical egosDiscovering her own autoimmune diseaseThe early signs of kidney issues families often missWhy she created Kidney Contenders and the impact she hopes to makeHow education and awareness can save lives long before a diagnosisThis conversation is honest, emotional and deeply human. It’s a reminder that behind every medical chart is a family trying to understand, a patient trying to survive and a system that doesn’t always make room for either.

Send us Fan Mail Kali Kat Tap Talks show sits down with Canadian author John Leister to uncover the story behind his book The Treehouse Avengers. What begins as a conversation about writing quickly turns into a moving discussion about bullying, addiction, faith, resilience and the life-changing power of storytelling. Before becoming a published author, John Leister struggled to find his place in the world. As a young boy growing up overweight and feeling different from the other kids around him, he became a frequent target of bullying. Those early experiences left lasting emotional scars and shaped how he viewed himself for many years. Instead of feeling accepted, John often felt invisible. As he got older, the emotional weight of those experiences followed him into adulthood. He has openly shared how he struggled with sugar addiction, which became a way to cope with stress and emotional pain. Like many people facing personal battles, he eventually reached a point where he realized something needed to change. That turning point came when he discovered the power of writing. What started as a creative outlet soon became something much deeper. Writing allowed John to reflect on the hardships he had experienced and transform painful memories into meaningful stories that resonate with readers. One of the most powerful results of that journey is his book The Treehouse Avengers. The story follows a young boy named Clint Wagner growing up in 1970s New York City. Clint struggles with bullying, loneliness and a difficult home life while desperately wanting to belong. When he discovers a neighborhood group known as the Treehouse Avengers, he sees an opportunity to prove himself and finally find acceptance. Readers connect with the story because it reflects something universal: the human desire to belong and the courage it takes to overcome rejection. During this episode, John shares how many of the emotions in the book were shaped by his own life experiences. At one point in the interview, the memories of those early struggles became so emotional that the conversation had to pause while he regained his composure. It was a powerful reminder that behind every book is a human story filled with real pain, growth and transformation. John also discusses how faith and perseverance helped him rebuild his life and discover a sense of purpose through writing. Today he is the author of more than twenty books, including his Lee Hacklyn private investigator series. Kali Kat Tap Talks goes behind the scenes with authors, entrepreneurs, creators and individuals who have overcome adversity to build meaningful lives. These conversations reveal the raw truth behind success and the courage it takes to keep moving forward. John Leister’s journey is proof that the challenges we face can sometimes become the very foundation for the life we were meant to build. If you have ever struggled with bullying, self doubt, addiction or finding your purpose, this conversation will resonate deeply. Sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones that remind us it’s never too late to start again.Support the show💬 Join the Adventure! Love what you heard?

Send us Fan MailIn this raw and deeply human episode of Kali Kat Tap Talks, Kat sits down with Andrea Leeb National Bestselling Author of Such a Pretty Picture: A Memoir, survivor advocate, former attorney, registered nurse and a powerful voice for those who were silenced long before they ever had a chance to speak.Andrea’s story is not just about trauma. It’s about truth. It’s about the lifelong impact of what happens behind closed doors. And it’s about the courage it takes to reclaim a narrative that was stolen in childhood.Growing up in a home defined by secrecy, Andrea survived incest and carried the weight of silence for decades. Today, she breaks that silence with intention, clarity and a fierce commitment to protecting others. While the world fixates on headlines like the Epstein files, Andrea asks a question we don’t hear nearly enough:“What about the kids in the homes—the ones being hurt by someone they know?”This conversation goes far beyond a memoir. Andrea opens up about:The hidden trauma that shapes a lifelong before the world ever sees itThe moment she realized she could no longer stay silentHow writing became both a lifeline and a form of justiceWhy truth‑telling is an act of liberation, not shameThe emotional cost and emotional power of reclaiming one’s voiceHer work with the UCLA Rape Treatment Center and Stuart House Advisory BoardMentoring young women from post conflict and climate challenged countriesWhat survivors need, what they deserve and what society still refuses to confrontAndrea’s honesty is unflinching. Her compassion is unmistakable. And her message is one every listener needs to hear whether they are a survivor, love a survivor or simply want to understand the realities so many endure in silence.This episode is a reminder that healing is not linear, truth is not optional and silence is never the answer. Andrea shows us what it looks like to step out of the shadows and into a life defined not by what happened to her, but by what she chose to do with it.If this conversation resonates with you, please share it. Someone you know may need it more than you realize.Support Kali Kat Tap Talks Venmo: @kathyi66 Linktr.ee/kalikatbeeradventures Instagram & TikTok: Kathleen Kali Kat Beers | KalikatbeeradventuresThank you for listening, supporting, and holding space for stories that matter.Support the show💬 Join the Adventure!

But what’s really behind Big Beer’s big decline?In this powerful episode of Kali Kat Tap Talks, we go beyond the headlines and crack open the deeper story—one that includes tariffs, late entries into the non-alcoholic beer market, and a backlash from overlooked communities.AB InBev’s stock plunged after reporting a steep drop in global volumes. Constellation Brands, owner of Modelo, is also seeing major declines—especially in their strongest markets: California and Texas.But here’s the twist: 👉 Nearly half of Modelo’s U.S. sales come from Hispanic consumers. 👉 Immigration crackdowns and economic anxiety have led to fewer gatherings and declining loyalty. 👉 These communities feel unseen—and it’s starting to show in the numbers.We also unpack:The impact of aluminum tariffs on marginsWhy Big Beer was late to the non-alcoholic revolutionAnd how community disconnection can crush brand trustThis isn’t just about beverage trends — it’s a wake-up call for every business leader and marketer.
