DO YOU GIVE A DAMN?
IF SO, WELCOME HOME.

 

The Let’s Give A Damn Podcast is a weekly show that celebrates incredible humans who are trying to live absurdly intentional and ethical lives. We hope these stories inspire you to live more hope-filled and action-oriented lives. Why? Because live is too damn short and thoughts and prayers aren’t enough.

My guest this week is the brilliant Katie Bogen. In her own words, Katie is a clinical psychology PhD student, a trauma therapist, a sex researcher, a rad Jewess, a queer activist, and a cottagecore rabble-rouser.

Katie is truly a wonderful soul. Over the past few months, ever since this horrific genocide began, she has been one of the most helpful voices on social media. She has made loads of content to share the truth about Zionism at its goals, to give a clear headed picture about what’s actually going on in Gaza, to debunk bullshit lies floating around on the internet, and so much more. And she does it with such clarity, intelligence, passion, and grace! If this is your first time encountering Katie and her work, I hope you’ll begin following her on Instagram and TikTok immediately.

Also, if you want to read more about her professional work and to read her dozens of published papers, click here. Katie is a certified badass.

About The Host

 

Nick Laparra is the founder of Let’s Give A Damn — a multifaceted company that helps people live absurdly intentional and ethical lives.

The son of a Guatemalan immigrant, Nick was born in Upstate NY but moved to Guatemala with his parents and 11 siblings when he was a young boy. Since his time in Guatemala, Nick has visited over 30 countries engaging in various kinds of social impact work.

At his core, Nick is a passionate storyteller who doesn’t mince words or suggest band-aid fixes for life or death issues. He loves asking questions, traveling to new places, drinking coffee, and smoking cigars. Most of all, he loves working with damn-givers who are building fewer walls, longer bridges, and bigger tables with their lives and work.

He lives in New York City with his partner, Rebecca, and their three children, Solace, Belle, and Roman.
