  • Totally honest and inspiring

    Kate, we watched you and loved you on IDOL. You are highly articulate and emotionally intelligent.

    Thanks for being raw and teaching us about the anatomy of addiction and recovery.

    I hope everyone can find hope in listening to you.

    Claudia as the interviewer, you rock. Props to you for asking probing questions in a sensitive way.
