What happens when childhood trauma meets unwavering resilience? Katherine (Kat) Omo-Osagie's story answers this question with extraordinary power and grace.At just six years old, Kat witnessed unimaginable violence when her father shot her mother multiple times before taking his own life. Today, she stands tall as Miss Lewisville, a contestant in the 2025 Miss Texas pageant, a college scholar on a presidential scholarship, and a passionate mentor to young children finding their own paths.Kat takes us through her remarkable journey of healing - from the frightened child who lost her confidence in elementary school, to the middle schooler who was bullied when classmates discovered her family's experience through online searches, to the high achiever who still struggled with feeling "good enough" despite external success. With remarkable self-awareness, she articulates how trauma manifests differently throughout various life stages, creating new challenges even as she builds strength.The turning point came through pageantry, something Kat never imagined herself doing. Winning Miss Texas Teen in 2021 with her platform "Break the Cycle of Abuse" transformed the very story she once hid from into her greatest strength. "It was a really cool full circle moment to have this story of my family that was something I used to hide from...and then suddenly bring light to it and then have all this success because of it."Kat's philosophy, inherited from her resilient mother Stephanie Bond, that "adversity breeds success if you let it," shines through every aspect of her life. Her commitment to mentorship through Big Brothers Big Sisters reflects her desire to be for others what she needed as a child.This conversation isn't just about surviving domestic violence—it's about transforming pain into purpose and using your story to create ripples of positive change. As Kat eloquently puts it: "I never want to waste such a horrible thing that happened. If there can be good done with it..." Her journey reminds us that our deepest wounds can become our greatest gifts to the world.

Hi listener, in this episode we discuss a topic of how easy it is to become callous & jaded in life!

In this episode the Pride of Louisville, Kentucky, JP Davis, offers to support Kristi's non-profits K9s4COPS and K9s4KIDS, which deploy canines and their handlers to protect schoolchildren, hunt down narcotics and dealers, and combat crime across the US.   We discuss how law enforcement dogs could help in the horrific school shootings across the country. They already provide protection for thousands of school children every day, and enhance the school communities in which they serve by safeguarding both the mental and physical welfare of the children. As presidential candidate Nikki Haley asked: "Why don't we have this in every school?" Then there are the millions of dollars in drugs Kristi's dogs have helped remove from the streets with their law enforcement handlers throughout the United States.JP is a social entrepreneur, serial mega-fundraiser for important causes, and a gay man who bucks the perception that Louisville is only for straights. He's enjoyed a stellar career which has taken him from White House Intern under George Bush Jr., to assistant to a Conservative member of the UK Parliament, to returning to Louisville to launch his consulting firm, JP Davis Partners, and to his support for both infrastructure organizations and nonprofits. We discuss the challenges of sustaining non-profit organizations in a world of scarcity, from convincing federal and state lawmakers of the merits of the programs, to the challenge of soliciting the smallest of donations to protect our citizens and communities at large. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyjpdavis/ https://www.jpdavispartners.com/abouthttps://www.whitneystrong.org/storyhttps://www.K9s4cops.orgSTORIES00:00 Start00:13 In Person JP Davis "The Groupie"00:44 "You are Miss Texas" 01:01 "If you don't know what's going on around you, how can you conduct your day?" 01:24 Survival groups: Dr. Pepper, Beckys, Blue Bell Ice Cream, 'Whataburger' power outage map02:25 K9s4COPS 02:48 "It was a robust itinerary"03:25 College football; and name, image, and likeness04:30 Dude Perfect at Texas A&M05:39 JP is a fundraising guru06:09 "Fundraising is not asking for money" 06:29 The Whitney Austin Story (Whitneystrong.org) - mass shooting survivor07:35 The Pulse Nightclub Shooting - a dog could have sniffed the shooter's weapon08:33 "Projects like this give me hope"08:27 "$25-thousand for a dog?

In Texas, for ANY progressive, it takes serious guts and commitment to run for office - it also helps to have a keen mind for politics, a strong heart for service, and buckets of class and charisma - former Miss Texas and SMU Law graduate Averie Bishop, by those standards, fits the bill pretty nicely! Bishop is running to unseat longtime TX-112 Rep. Angie Chen Button, a Republican representing a district that has been recently re-drawn to entrench GOP control - does this young, first-time candidate have what it takes to beat these long odds?

A deep dive Kate put together last minute about the controversy surrounding the Miss USA pageant late last week when contestants claimed the pageant was "rigged" and/or a product of overt favoritism toward Miss Texas. Insisting she was mostly disinterested, Kate dipped her toe in, then managed to spend the whole weekend researching history, and lore, thinking about her own memories watching, all while developing an incredibly lukewarm take on a topic she knows very little about and isn't totally sure if she should support.In this chaotic episode Kate recalls covering the following:A breakdown of the Miss USA dramaAn appropriate reading from pop culture scripture: Chapter: Miss SC, Verse 2007Kate asks questions about the ethics of favoritism, while clearly implying favoritism almost the entire episodeTugboat eats a cup of Ranch by accidentResearch about the historical context of women's exploitation for sport that she kind of hates but would've wholeheartedly done for validationAn overview of the history of pageants in the U.S. and all the many ways we never stood a chanceGreg interrupts for more IVF shots, Kate gets in bad moodThen maybe blames Molly McIntyre's performance in the only pageant that matters (Miss Victory) for the downfall of womenSomehow Pretty Pretty Princess gets dragged into itThere's still some leftover anger toward children doing a little too much food prep under age 3 on TiktokVarious catchphrases for influencer pipelines that are the hottest launchpads to stardomKate imagines (hallucinates?) a Jovani insurrection if the vote was stolenAnd so much more!Fortunately, a second episode featuring an interview with a BTI5 listener/former pageant participant/former employee in the corporate pageant system will be released in the coming days, likely early released on Patreon, this was a last-minute topic choice so thanks for your patience as we align it with the broadcast calendar!SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSHelix is offering up to 200 dollars off all mattress orders AND two free pillows for our listeners!
