    Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW sits down with Katherine Hood, Self-Leadership Coach, to discuss how to lead life in a way you feel good about from the inside out. Katherine explains that self-leadership is a way to live your life in alignment and therefore modeling your own values, morals and principles to others. The two women relate this concept to parenting and the importance of parenting with patience, staying grounded, and modeling emotional maturity. Whether you’re working with a young child, teenager, or adult, Katherine explains that seeking first to understand is important in leading others without shame or guilt. Bryce asks the important question of “how can we repair our relationships when we’ve created an emotional wound?” Katherine’s advice is to take ownership of our part in the situation and share our mistakes with others as a way to relate and bond, creating trust. It is ok to change, grow, adapt, and show our human side! Self-leadership is also important in using our energy wisely in living a successful, healthy, and balanced life. Katherine closes with the importance of moving through relationships without expectations. Subscribe with your favorite podcast player Apple PodcastsAndroidRSS Check out our video chat here!

Yep, the one with the bulldog that dominated NYC TaxiTV and USA Daytime in the 20teens. Over nine years, she hosted hundreds of guests, racked up four Emmys, launched countless adventures—and had so much fun. Then she got fired. No fun. After losing her job, she thought she’d never to go back to journalism. With no other marketable skills and no idea what to do next, she entered an epic dark night of the soul. Looking for light, her family moved to the beach in Coney Island. There, Cat got serious about her own sobriety and began bringing recovery meetings to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and men. That work inspired her to found the nonprofit Restorative Housing Organization. RHO is dedicated to training formerly incarcerated men and women to renovate undervalued NYC waterfront properties, which are then rented to Section 8 tenants. She loves it. But once a journalist, always a journalist. So when she weirdly got name-checked on Hacks last season, she took it as a sign.
Soon after, she heard her old friend, musician Steve Earle, talking openly about his sobriety on a radio show —a thing she didn’t know people were even allowed to do. And she realized she wanted to be the one talking to Steve Earle about sobriety on a show! Soberness was born in September 2024.

Melanie Sakoda and friends began a website for survivors of abuse in the Orthodox Christian churches called Pokrov, the Protection of the Mother of God, in 1999. They had spoken up about the way a local abuse case was mishandled by church officials, leaving their lives forever changed by the backlash. Realizing how important their mutual support was, they wanted to reach out to those who did not have that. The website was active until March, 2020. Melanie affiliated with SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, in 2008. She led SNAP support meetings from 2009 until recently. Melanie continues to lead independent virtual support groups and advocate for survivors, particularly Orthodox victims, and is the President of the Board of Directors of Coptic Survivor.
