The hilarious Katie Bertino built a powerful online platform—Good Patriot—rallying more than a hundred thousand people in defense of gun rights and constitutional freedoms. But at the height of her influence, Katie hit a wall: physically ill, emotionally drained, and spiritually depleted. In this episode, she opens up about the hidden toll of being an influential voice in a male-dominated space and the burnout that forced her to step back.

Katie shares her journey of healing—how she restored her mind and body naturally, and why she began questioning the idolization of American patriotism within Christian circles. We also explore her shift toward a Torah Observant lifestyle, the transformation of her online presence from political commentary to homesteading and natural health, and her thoughts on gender roles, holistic living, and a scriptural approach to political engagement.

TECH NOTE: The video feed was choppy so we do split screen on this.
