How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Where do you hail from? Yes, I would love to. So I hail from Indianapolis originally. I'm from there. I've lived there most of my life. I went to Indiana University, so I know there's some IU swirlies listening.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, right. What was your major?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
It adds context. Like, was I a big tin swirly? Was I, you know, like a smarts? A dropout. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I went to IU. I was a marketing major. I was in the business school with a minor in fashion. And I've lived there most of my life. But this past winter, we moved down to Miami. And we were down here from January through May. Okay. And we loved it.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
right but that is a good backup plan i mean for him well so for her to withdraw well yeah but it doesn't like help her case right but i'm just saying like that's an easy thing to say like sorry gotta withdraw yeah but i mean i recently saw a psychiatrist and the whole time i was thinking what if Right. You know what I mean? Right. I never even thought that there's a way that I could. Yeah.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah. Wait, I'm sorry. I kind of zoned out for the first second of you reading because I just was like, oh my gosh, I'm on the toast. Yeah. Can you just reread the first couple sentences?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Okay.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Like where's the emotional distress? Yes. Yeah.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, nothing is looking good for her right now.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I think one of my biggest concerns in all this was where Taylor would fall in line with everything. And I'm feeling like right now she's kind of marked safe by... I was just thinking, how is this going to affect my view of Taylor? And I feel like her separation from Blake is... marking her safe in the situation, which I'm happy about.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
But right now where I stand is that they're both crazy and have Justin and Blake crazy and Ryan have huge egos and their egos are bruised. And I kind of went back and forth like team Justin, team Blake flip flopped a little bit. And now I'm just like, You're both crazy.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, that's true. But if someone's throwing you under the bus and like calling you a dragon, like dragging you into this and, you know, threatening to release texts, like to me, I'm like, if all that's true, I'm like.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah. I, it's so tricky because we will just never know the truth. And I think that's the hard thing is like, we can speculate all we want, but like, we're never going to know how good of friends they actually were and what went on behind the scenes.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Do you have to say, yeah, like, what if it was like, she asked her to be the godmother and she's like, I don't want to be the godmother.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
mother but how do you say no to something right can you say no if someone's like will you be the godmother of my kids I think so because I don't know a lot about like godmothering are you anyone's godmother uh no I have a someone's our dog mother but but doesn't it mean that like if anything happens to your kids that you would take over yeah and I think like there's probably something else legally written and some people maybe just use the name as like you're the
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I know. She loved it. And after your episode yesterday, like, I was... You're thinking about moving here full time. Considering. Considering. So... Did you, when you moved here, did you ever do like the snowbird life or did you just like rip the bandaid, fully move here?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I'm sure that they have but I honestly we might not choose it because I wouldn't know how to advise you because I know nothing about godmotherhood yeah I do think that a lot of people probably say like will you be the godmother but it's not in writing that's that would be my guess yeah it's just a nice title yeah it's cute it's like will you be the godmother it is it's not written in the will but yeah I'm right now it's just it's not looking good but I love all the stories about it and I love when something new comes up because it's just it keeps it fresh
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And whether she maybe had a little crush or something like that. I don't think they like had a fling.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, it's just a little crush and a little ego bruising.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, so does Ryan still follow you guys? Oh, I don't know.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
No, of course. You're too honest. I can't be bought.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
You're doing great.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
How do you go half? I don't know, but thinking about it gives me the willies. No, I know. I'm thinking of cutting and going half. I feel like it's over or under.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
But I love that she just responded to that. I mean, first of all, it just shows that she's on TikTok. She's seeing what the girlies are saying. When you guys post about her, she's seeing it, which I love. I love when celebrities, they're just like us. They're scrolling the FYP as well.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I love that she shared what she did, and I feel like that's very rare, but also not like anyone could ever afford her doctor.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
It's rare these days.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
It is like, why are we gatekeeping these things? I think like, especially with Lindsay Lohan, I think there, I could have read this wrong, but I think there was like an article where she was like, yeah, everyone's like hating and speculating. And it's like, no one's hating. We are obsessed with your face. You look amazing. Like we, we all want what you have.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
We want to know who you're, no one's hating. Like I understand not wanting to like, feel like you have to share with everyone, everything you've done. But like, I don't like when it's taking like the hating route of like, Oh, they're hating on me. They think I'm fake. I'm like, we love your work.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
But it's such a stark difference. It is. And she looks amazing. Yeah. But it's not chia seeds. I think she maybe was out of the loop for a little bit when she, you know, kind of- chapter on like authenticity. Yeah. She missed where we're not like claiming it's olive oil or we're, you know, claiming it's like, was it Jennifer Aniston was like, you know, certain water or something like that.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
It's like, no one, you know, you're stuck in 2015. No one thinks it's just chia seeds anymore. Like you can claim what you had done. And she looks amazing. Like there was, she was like a trending on TikTok where everyone would like post like a pargy picture of the ocean. They'd be like this and what Lindsay Lohan had done. Yeah. Everyone's praising your work.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Which I feel like that's most people. Like when we were down here, everyone's like, oh, are you guys going to move here? And we were just talking to people and everyone's like, well, we split time or, you know, trips to the Cape. Like everyone's going home. Well, everyone here is like from New York. So everyone's like, oh, no, no, we go home for the summer. Yeah.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
But yeah, I appreciate Kylie coming forward.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
She was just in Indianapolis, which is where I hail from. And your team won? Our team won the Indianapolis Pacers. They won the semis, whatever. What did you think it was? Like the Pennsylvania Pacers?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, the Knicks lost to the Pacers. And now they're out of the... They're out of the tournament. Right. And now, I don't know if that's what it's called. The Pacers go on. The Pacers now go on to the finals. Yes.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yes. So now they'll go on to the finals and we're planning on going to a game, which will be fun. Who are they playing? Thunder. Lightning. Feel the thunder. Oklahoma. Kansas. I feel like it was Kansas because I remember being like, oh, the Chiefs and also like football and basketball. Go Kansas.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Oh, I think I heard KC and I thought it was Kansas City. Okay. Thunder. Thunder. Oklahoma. I got Thunder right.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And I think I heard KC and I thought Kansas City. And I was like, yeah. Anyways, so they're playing next and I think we're going to go. But I was really sad because Kylie and Timmy were in Indianapolis.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
You don't have that pull.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Well, actually, I've never tried.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Put it out there.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
It's a smaller pool.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I will be the Pacers spokeswoman.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, and it's someone from Indiana.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Congratulations to us. I'm not like acclimated to the Florida teams. So when you said Panthers, that meant nothing to me, if I'm being completely honest.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Everyone here is from somewhere else. Yeah. And whenever we talk to people, they're like, well, why don't you just move to Miami? And I'm like. My problem is we love being right on the beach. And when we were down here for five months, we lived right on the beach, pargy condo, like just, we loved it.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
That's how I am with the Pacers, if I'm being honest.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Right. I'm here to jump on that bandwagon. If I see a bandwagon going by, I'm here to jump on. I'm here to support. I will say I was very sad, though, that I wasn't at the game that Kylie was at because I'm sure that had to have been her first time in Indiana.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
What?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I would think you guys would have done like a toast show there or something.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Okay. Well that, I mean, that was your, if you were going to go to the Midwest, I would think Chicago would have been your best bet. Yeah. I'm trying to think where else. That had to have been Kylie's first time in Indiana.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And I just want to know.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Ulta's. Maybe.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I do feel like they make it through. Because I was wondering, like, what did she think? And I was like, I wonder where she ate and where she stayed. And then I remembered she's not like us. She got right off the plane, went to the game and got back on the plane. Because I was like, I wonder... Where is she staying?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
It was fun. It was so much fun.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Maybe they'll bring me out on the court. I mean, especially now that I've been on the toast.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And I'm like, do I love Miami because every morning I was walking down to the beach to start my day? Or do I like actually love Miami? Miami. So that's because I'm a suburbs girl. I'm from Indiana. Miami is a lot when you're from Indiana. Everyone here is from New York. I'm like, you guys get the vibes. But when you're from the suburbs of Indiana, it was a big transition.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah. Any Indiana girls who are listening, I'm happy to support.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
So this is all like... Sad day for Meghan.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Did they say that Dolly didn't want to risk her reputation going on Megan's? Yeah.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I think she's been around for so long. Her reputation can't really be tarnished. No, for sure. She's pretty solid. If she wants to go on a podcast, she can go on a podcast. But I do think Megan's probably having a tough time getting people on. Have you heard of anyone good recently?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, but not everyone can be Jackson Claude. You guys have that star power. We do have that. No, we just have, like, the...
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah. Did you watch the show? No, I didn't. But the nice thing about listening to The Toast is you feel like you've watched a lot of shows without actually needing to put in the time. So I get the summary. I get the clips. And, you know, you scroll through TikTok. You get the synopsis. And a lot of times I feel like I've watched the whole show before I ever even watch it.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Where did you move after college? We lived in Indianapolis for a little bit. We moved to L.A. for a year for my husband's job. It was fun. Like, it was kind of one of those things where we were like, we know this is temporary. We're not going to live here forever. L.A. is a lot, too. Yeah. Not as much like I feel like Miami is a little more approachable. L.A. just
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
So like between you guys breaking down the trailer and all of that, I'm like, all right, I've got the gist. I'm good to go. I'm catching up on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives right now. So good. But I'm like, I feel like I've already seen it. I got, you know, I've got the gist.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I will say though. Watch this space. Sometimes I feel like, okay, I've already seen that. I've got the point. I've already, you know, seen the show enough just from listening to the toast. But then I actually watch and I'm like, no, this is...
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
It's like a nice scene. That was on my list. The storyline was interesting. I was like, huh. I just don't know where it's going to go. Yeah, yeah. How much it could do with it. That was kind of, after watching the trailer, that's where I was kind of like...
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
know how much they can do with this but it would be fun but yeah right now slommel is taking up my content plate and i'm loving it i'm loving i'm jealous of you i'm jealous of anyone who has i feel like it's better than the first season it is i i'm like love taylor still love all the girls um but i do feel like Yeah, there's, I feel like my opinions on some of them have changed.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, which is what keeps it interesting. Right, exactly. And I feel like they're still putting it all on the table, which I respect. I could never do that. Like doing ketamine therapy while being recorded.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I have not. And if I ever did, I think it's... I don't know. I mean, it's, I think it's something that they use to treat. I could be, I'm not the right person to ask, but I was going to say like trauma for PTSD.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And like some people do it often. Yeah. I think you can like maybe do different cycles of it to like work through something, but it seemed like it was just a super emotional experience, but I would never want that recorded.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I respect it so much. I mean, they are not holding back anything. I really hope I never have to hear someone say dry humping ever again. That's that's something I do not want to hear come out of a grown man's mouth. Yeah. But I love that they just put it all out there and they yeah, I could never do it. So I have so much respect for them.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
it's the traffic that you know people can be interesting i feel like miami people were like really nice and welcoming not that they weren't in la but it's just different it kind of felt like a who do you know like how can i use a connection from you so and it was we moved out there for my husband's job and then they asked us to move back so we kind of knew it was like a temporary thing
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And I think they will. Like I feel like Taylor is I mean, she's already a star, but I think she's she's got a bright future ahead.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Even though she's like, she's kept us fed.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yes. Okay. Same. I think we need some new Sabrina. Tough time to be Barry. I think. Well, he did what he did. He did what he did. He had it all. Yeah. He had it made in the shade. He really fumbled. I hate to admit this on air, but there was a time when I was like, I kind of get the Barry hype.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, Salt Bae. I was like, okay, I can see it.

Yeah, I did. Did you? No. Yeah. It was interesting. It was entertaining. So you thought he was like, No, I just, I don't even know if I would go so far as to say handsome. But, like, he had something. Yeah, like, I was like, okay, I see it. Like, they're cute together. Like, there were some maybe more flattering, like, clips of him on the red carpet. And I was like, okay, I kind of get the hype.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And now I'm just, like, so icked out by him. He just gives off, like, little rat boy energy. And I just... But, you know, I feel like I can be so easily swayed. Like I feel like with Timothy. Yeah. At first was just like a little rat boy. Yeah, a little rat boy.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, because of Timothy.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
No, no, no. He's giving King energy. But I will say I put him into that category at first. And then I saw Dune. I think that is where he comes from. He does. He has, he is the elk of a rat boy. But he's now going on to bigger and better things.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I have to Google it whenever I see it. My niece is a ballerina. So I frequent the Nutcracker. And every time I'm like, what's happening? What's... It's a tough watch, but... It is.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
So it was kind of one of those things where we're like, we're young, let's go move somewhere. And now we're in Indianapolis and we're like, do we stay here? I mean, do we split time? Do we do six months, six months, which a lot of people do that too. So I don't know. We'll see. We'll see. How long have you been married? 10 years, I was a child bride.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Mm-hmm. And then I'm like, which part's the dream? Which one's real? Do we? Yeah. But back to Timmy, he he did grow on me. I once I saw Dune, I was like, OK, I get the hype. I OK. Yeah. Like and not that I'm like, oh, my gosh, he's so attractive. He's still giving Rat King energy, which is not my type, but I'm so happy for him. But I was like, OK, I get the hype.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And that's kind of how I felt about Barry for a little bit. Got it. And now I'm like. Which could happen to Timothy someday.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
But if Kylie turns on him, then it could be bad. It would be bad.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Right now he's thriving as king of the rats.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
You think they're in game? I do. Do you think they'll have a baby together?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025

The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025

The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I don't know if it's necessarily in like the Indianapolis community. I mean, I do think in general, maybe Midwest more so than like a New York or L.A. But I also grew up like super conservative Christian religious background where it was in that community. It was very normal. Yeah. So like I wasn't like, oh, I'm crazy for getting married so young. It didn't feel young to you. Oh, yeah.

How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025

The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025

The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I don't know, there's so much. And I do think that, like you said, you just have to make a choice to put yourself out there. Like put your head down, like just. You just have to do it. Yeah. It's gonna be uncomfortable, it's gonna be awkward, but you just gotta.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Like that's normal. Anyways, now I look back and I'm like, that was so young. But like... I don't know. I just feel like we're lucky because I see, yeah, I see people who get married young and it's like, you grow so much. Like, I feel like I am not the same person now at 32 than I was at 22. But thankfully we grew together. Whereas I see a lot of couples who get married young.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, I think everyone in high school is, insecure and looking for friends, looking for their identity. So even though you might feel like, oh, I'm the only one who doesn't have friends or I'm shy or I've just turned in on myself. There's so many other people who feel that way. And I think people are much more receptive than you think.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I mean, you could even start your own club and invite people to join. I don't know. I did that in high school. I started a club. What club? It was a fundraiser for Haiti because this was like 2011. Yeah. there was all this damage from the hurricanes in Haiti. And so I started this club and we would like do different. We would like make baked goods and sell them.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And it was it was so random, but it was so fun. And like I wasn't didn't necessarily do it to like make friends. But that's like a random example. But there was like a club I was in where we would play like what's that banana grams game? Yeah. Claudia was in the club like that. She loved that. It was so random, but there's so much you can do in high school.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I have this network. Yeah. Okay. Well,
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I am a terrible singer but when I was a sophomore I joined show choir and like they let anyone in like I didn't even have to audition but like what I'm saying is it's not too late even as a sophomore you know like you can do something new as a sophomore or a junior you don't have it's not like oh I missed my freshman year so now I'm like locked into this it's like you can try something new as a sophomore and I met so many people through that and I was awful but it was so fun yeah don't give up like you can do it it takes a little bit of hard work but it will be we're
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Love you.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
tricky so i i know some people who do the separate bank accounts we've never done that um and from the start but also we got married so young right like we were 22 like what money were we combining right you know what i mean but like i i actually really like that and i feel like it set us up for a really good foundation um so i don't know i could this is only coming from my perspective of only ever having a shared bank account um i just i could see so many
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I mean, I'm watching secret lives right now.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
ways that this could yeah it's like i don't even know what's scary if he has like all this money and he's spending it and like he's not sharing it with you or if he has all this debt and he's like hiding it from you yeah is he hiding good stuff or bad stuff yeah and who's making more money right now i don't know maybe she's better off keeping it separate if that's yeah
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah. I will say that like there could be a lot of fights that come from having a joint account. I mean, when we first got married, I came into the relationship with debt from college and we were on like a really strict budget. And I remember my husband would like check in on me and be like, what did you spend for $2.33 at Target? And I was like, I was picking up donuts for my coworkers.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And it was just, I felt like I was, you know, had all these tabs and he's a numbers guy, he's a finance guy. And like, that was kind of what we needed at the time. So like, it was fine. And like, we're good now. But it was, it was very stressful. So like, maybe it's better to keep it separate. I don't know, I think there's probably so many different opinions on this, but I like the combo idea.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, I've not had an issue with it.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
because you get married so young and then your values change, your goals change. And I look at these girls on that show and I'm just like, And then you have to remember they're 24.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, but we're both putting money in there. Right, right, right. Yeah. Now, if I was going to make a very large purchase, I would probably be like, hey. Heads up. Just a heads up. Here's some thoughts. But at this point, we've been married for so long. I also kind of know what is worth mentioning, like what that dollar amount is.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
So I'm not going to go buy a new car or something without talking about it first. But I have financial freedom to do the things I want to do. But I think it also just depends on everyone. I
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
everyone's work situation right it's only one person working and like so it's their money technically and like then you are just beholden to how they want to deal with it i do think even if he wants to keep things separate there should be a conversation where you at least see everything put all the cards on the table are you in debt how much are you making like let's at least be transparent about it before you get married to this guy that maybe he's got a gambling addiction or
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah. I do think money causes like the most fights in marriages or it's one of the things that causes the most fights. So my advice would be to. It's tricky. So, yeah, I wouldn't just be like, oh, he's a piece. It's all good. Like I would.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Like, is it because he doesn't want someone keeping tabs on him or I don't know, but I do think it's something worth getting to the bottom of.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah. And I do think it also maybe could be coming from his parents or like pressure from someone being like, Hey, don't someone who had like a bad experience, but every couple's different. Yeah.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Just talk it through. And you know what? Maybe you'll want to keep things separate so you can buy things on your own. Yeah.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Who knows?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Go do a photo shoot for yourself.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And Claudia and Ben.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, you have two options. You either go in and draw like devil horns. Right, right. Ruin your picture frame. Yeah, exactly. Or you hire a photographer, do a pargy photo shoot. Or like, no, I'm sure you want like solo bridal shots from that day. You don't even have to go to all the effort. Because I'm sure she just wants a picture of you.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
She feels like this is a special moment that I want on display, but this is not okay. And I would want...
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
nothing to do with any of those wedding photos if i were in your situation so yeah either vandalize it to get your point across or swap it out with a portrait swap it out passive aggressive even though definitely there's an underlying issue of like her not being able to let go of this marriage or which is that's really sad which is really like it's time to let it go yeah but let's just start with the picture and it was obviously not a good divorce obviously it was it
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Oh, yeah. And that's how I feel. Like, yeah, I feel like someday if I have a daughter, I would not advise her to get married that young. But I do feel like we are the exception. I mean, I don't know. I do know a lot of people where it's worked out. And yeah. But a lot has to go right. Yeah, there it's it can be. Yeah, I see why it doesn't work out for most people.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And like your child. So it's time. It's time to let it go. You can steal it. Here's the thing. She's not going to know how to reproduce that photo. My mom calls me anytime she needs to print something at CBS. She's like, how do I upload a file? How do I? How does anyone print a photo? It's tough and they're always grainy. I mean, it's not an easy process.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
So the good thing is she will not know how to replicate that photo. So you're safe.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Thank you for having me. This has been an absolute pleasure. Where can everyone follow you? I'm Kathleen Post on Instagram, TikTok, all the places. And I'm just here for the girlies. I share my outfits. So cute. I'm just here to help. You look adorable today and every day.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Thank you for having me.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
So anyways, got married really young, moved to L.A., moved back to Indianapolis, and we've just been trying to figure out life. And so last year we came to Miami for one month for the month of January and we loved it. So then we were like, OK, should we maybe do like six months? We ended up doing almost five and then we went back to Indy.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Now I'm here today and then flying out to New York after this. Oh, fun. So just here to to get. How long have you been influencing? For ten years. So I graduated and then started right after college. And when I started well, influencing wasn't even a word then, you know what I mean? Like I was a blogger. Even content creator wasn't really a thing. It was like, I was blogging.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Like I would be like, go onto my blog post and like have out, you know, like 30 photos of me in an outfit, one outfit and be like, hi guys. So today I'm wearing a denim jacket and flared jeans. And it reminds me of this time when I was in the third grade and I learned this really important life lesson. Like you would literally be writing a thousand words. What was your blog called?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I'm so glad I checked all the boxes. You really checked all the boxes. The vibes are pargy. When you guys reached out, I genuinely was like, they meant to email someone else. This is a mistake. I actually was like, this is spam. And I was thinking that the toast was being caught up in some fraudulent scheme. I was waiting for them to ask for my credit card information.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
It was called Lemon Blonde because that was for the Gen Zers. Yeah, I know, right? So that back in the day, like your blog names were like two kind of like kitschy words. It could be like pigtails and peonies or something like that. That's like Rach Marcel, pink peonies, cupcakes and cashmere, dress up buttercup, champagne Chanel, classic stuff. Classic stuff.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
So I came on the scene and there was, you know, something navy. Yeah, that's just how it was. So I was Lemon Blonde. And but thankfully, my Instagram handle was always my name. So I never had to, like, because now, like, I'll see people. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's Pink Peony or that's something Navy. Right. And it's like, no, that's not her name. So thankfully, my name was always Kathleen Post.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I never had to retrain the audience. But yeah, so we would like literally write blog posts about what we were wearing, which is so ancient now. But I'm glad I started when I did. It was a long time ago. Things have changed a lot. But like when I started, Instagram stories weren't even a thing like you would post a photo on your Instagram to tell people to go read your blog.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And they couldn't like click through stories. No, there weren't stories. And then stories came along and that changed the game. But that was also a time because that's when you would wear these like crazy filters, like the dog filter. And you'd be like doing a makeup tutorial and you'd be like, okay, so my lip combo today.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
xo's and ears would like pop out of your head and i'm like how did any how did anyone take it seriously we were doing a makeup tutorial with a dog filter on and that was just the norm we didn't question it it was i used to always do like my lip videos with like a snout covering exactly and you're like isn't this lip combo pargy click to buy the thing you can't see so funny um but yeah i look back at that and i'm like what were we thinking but it was just normal
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
So yeah.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Even like the lip syncing thing. I feel like someday we're going to look back and be like, we would memorize a script to lip sync. That's it. I feel like I'm Mark safe from this, but like the, Not on reels.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
It really takes you out of it. It breaks the fourth wall when you're like, oh, they set up their tripod. memorized a script, and then hit record, edited it, pieced it together, but it's fun to watch. You just can't think about the behind the scenes. The dog filter was fun to watch too, though. It was. I mean, we just didn't want to show our real face. It was scary.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
You felt so exposed to the world. So it was like, maybe if I put on ears, a snout and have a tongue sticking out of my mouth, I can present myself to the world safely today.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I was like, I need to reach out to the toast and let them know that their name and likeness is being used in some influencer thing. That's so funny.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, it was kind of this progression. It took a while to become sober, but I started with removing the animals from my face. And then I was like, maybe if I just use these subtle beauty filters, it's going to make my lips a little bit bigger, my nose a little bit more snatched. And it's also going to make me look really...
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
like creamy like very like beige a little sparkle but like I'm not an animal at least yeah um then it was like okay super super subtle and now and now we're free yeah I just gotta show your face and it's funny because if I watch old videos from like 2019 where I'm using those like Instagram beauty filters it's like
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Then, like, what am I hiding? No, we were really warped. And it's still a thing on TikTok, though. Like, I see on TikTok, a lot of people will post a video, and I'm like... wow, that girl is so gorgeous. Who's her plastic surgeon? She looks amazing. And then it's like, flawless skin, 5,000. But they tell you when people use a filter. It does, yeah.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
So at least it's showing you, which Instagram did too.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, it's just kind of like you would glance at it and be like, wow, this girl is stunning. How have I never seen her before? Then you put the filter on your face and you're like, I am stunning. How have I never seen her before? You're like, oh, that's why it's the filter. Interesting. So yeah, now we just got to, this is just exposure therapy. I'm on the toes, you know.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, I was reading down. I'm like, okay, where are they asking me for my credit card information and my social security? They're like, in order to lock in the spot to be on the toast, please provide us with your SSN. You have to pay $1,000. That's a good scheme. And I was like, no, this is real. And I responded so fast. Not as fast as Cass.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yeah, we're filter free here, but it's a party environment. It really is. It's so fun being behind the scenes and seeing how this all is made. Oh, what do you think? I love it. I mean, I've never been on a podcast before, so I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous right now. No, that's so okay. I've never done this, but this is so exciting.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
But every once in a while, you might see my eyes going over. I just got to check things out a little bit. No, this is so cool. You guys are obviously so successful, and it's so fun to just be behind the scenes. I'm a toaster. I'm a Patreone. I'm all the things. I bought Camper and the Counselor for my sister-in-law who's having a baby. Oh, my gosh. Thank you. She will love it. Yeah.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
She's a huge toaster, too. So I didn't tell anyone I was coming on.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I told a couple people because in my excitement when I got the email that I thought was potentially fraudulent, I was like, what?
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
oh my gosh i'm freaked out um and i i kept waiting for you guys to email me and be like oh i'm so sorry we were actually looking for a different kathleen and i was like thankfully kathleen's not like a super common influencer name but i was like maybe someone tips jackie off like oh hey kathleen and you meant to email a different kathleen and so i was like i kept waiting for like the cancellation
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
be like, hey, sorry, we double booked you or like, you know, Jackie's sick or something like that. And I was like, no, this is really happening. So I didn't tell anyone. So this will be a surprise.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Surprise.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Yes, I didn't even think about the fact that it was a Tuesday.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
And that's Dear Toasters Day.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
You know, that's what I love about being influencer. I'm just here to help the girlies.
The Toast
How To Make Friends and Influence People with Kathleen Post: Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
I have a quick question. Yeah. When you do the do-do-do-do-do to people who aren't familiar with the toast, are they like, what the heck? So last week on Jackson Friends, I was like, I wonder if that like takes it out of like, what is she doing?
