Season 2 of Unmuted by Nola is here — and we’re evolving. As I teased in the Season 1 finale with my sisters, this podcast won’t just be my reflections anymore. You’ll still get those, but now you’ll also hear conversations with guests I admire — people balancing life, work, leadership, and joy in their own way.
To kick it off, I sat down with my friend Kat. She’s an accomplished attorney who made the leap from Big Law to social justice work — the kind of work that carries immense weight. But in the midst of fighting for justice, Kat has also learned to protect joy.
We talk about:
💥 The myth that advocates have to mute their joy
💥 Joy as resistance in the middle of heavy work
💥 Fashion and fitness as lifelines
💥 Redefining health beyond shrinking your body
💥 Why joy isn’t frivolous — it’s fuel for the work
⚡️ Editing Note: This episode is unedited — likes, ums, and all. After two failed attempts that distorted my voice, I decided the most Unmuted thing I could do was give it to you raw. Sometimes, hitting publish is the boldest move you can make.
