Today I interviewed Kati Morton for The Mighty. Kati is a licensed therapist who makes extremely popular videos on YouTube. I’m thankful she took time away from her busy schedule to come down to Mighty HQ and talk with me for almost an hour. As you know I don’t hold back with the questions I ask so I’m glad Kati was willing to take them all on.
