Kate Torode is a writer, mixed-media artist, and corporate survivor turned comedic truth-teller. She is the creator of Chicken Nugget Girl and Other Midlife Traumas — a sharp, witty, and unfiltered exploration of modern reinvention, resilience, and the absurdities of everyday life. With a background supporting corporate leadership teams, Kate brings a one-of-a-kind perspective that blends boardroom polish with parking-lot meltdowns, proving that comedy often lives in the cracks of chaos. When she isn’t turning midlife disasters into laugh-out-loud stories, Kate is painting bold abstracts, planning her next coastal Maine escape with her husband Brad, or connecting with her growing community of readers who love her mix of honesty, humor, and heart. Listeners can expect Kate to bring high-energy storytelling, self-deprecating wit, and a refreshing reminder that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be hilarious — it just has to be real.
