What do you get when you mix 13 siblings, no fridge, a borrowed disguise, and the determination to become a sommelier?
You get Kathy Healy — and a story so bold it could only be told on Kali Kat Tap Talks.

In this unforgettable episode, Kathy takes you from her 1940s childhood—where beer, bread, and milk arrived at the door—to the moment she dressed as a man just once to break into a world that wasn’t built for women. Her journey is raw, witty, full of grit, and overflowing with heart.

Kathy shares:
• Growing up as the 2nd oldest of 13 children
• Working in the airline industry just to fly home and care for her mother
• Her path from beer to Bordeaux and the unshakable drive to become a sommelier
• Her passion for writing, brewing, storytelling, and breaking rules with purpose
• The two icons she’d love to share a drink with: Nelson Mandela and Princess Diana

A wife. A mother. A veteran’s partner. A woman who’s reinvented herself more times than most people dare to try. Kathy’s life is proof that resilience can be poured, shaken, and served with elegance.

Press play — and let Kathy pour you a story you’ll never forget.

"Welcome to Kali Kat Tap Talks, where policy meets people. I'm your host Kali, and today we're diving into a powerful intersection of politics, poverty, and public health. It's Election Day and while ballots are cast, millions of Americans face empty plates. What can we learn from the COVID-era expansion of SNAP and how does culture shape our response to hunger?"

🗳️ Segment 1: The Politics of the Plate

• Brief overview of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)
• How elections influence food policy
• Key ballot measures or candidates affecting SNAP today

🦠 Segment 2: COVID’s Wake-Up Call

• What changed during COVID: emergency allotments, expanded eligibility, online access
• Data on how these changes impacted food insecurity
• Why some of these changes were rolled back — and what that means now

🧠 Segment 3: Culture, Stigma, and the American Narrative

• How cultural attitudes toward poverty and welfare shape policy
• The myth of the “undeserving poor” and its political consequences
• Voices from communities: stories of resilience, shame, and survival

🔄 Segment 4: Lessons and Leverage

• What COVID taught us about rapid response and dignity in aid
• How voters can use their power to support food justice
• Policy ideas: universal school meals, SNAP modernization, guaranteed income pilots

🎤 Outro

"As we mark another Election Day, let’s remember: democracy isn’t just about votes — it’s about values. And when it comes to hunger, the question isn’t just who we elect, but what kind of society we choose to build. Thanks for listening."
