"I Had White Guilt And I'm Not White " w/ Katherine Kearns Artwork

Shame Spiral

A comedy podcast about shame- because no one roasts you harder than yourself! Each week, psychotherapist-turned-comedian Ely Kreimendahl exploits her therapy skills to talk all-things-shame with a new special guest. Every guest shares a core story of something that once made them spiral HARD, answers both silly and emotionally complicated questions, and even if these conversations are ACCIDENTALLY therapeutic, it's not therapy.... Ely goes ALL IN on sharing her shame, too. Does coming together to laugh at our shame and the often inherently comic absurdity of being human make it all easier to tolerate?! Listen in and see what you think. We'll laugh, we'll cry…. we'll SPIRAL.

"I Had White Guilt And I'm Not White " w/ Katherine Kearns

October 25, 2022 • Season 1 • Episode 8

This week I spiraled out with television writer and lovely soul Katherine Kearns (Hacks, Yellowjackets.) We talked regrets, binging bad TV in the early pandemic, growing up Black with a cool, queer & very white Dad, the brutal honesty of children, and so much more. Plus, Katherine shares her seminal shame story about being a small child and inadvertently heisting a bag of delicious candy from the grocery store.
