You get Kathy Healy — and a story so bold it could only be told on Kali Kat Tap Talks.
In this unforgettable episode, Kathy takes you from her 1940s childhood—where beer, bread, and milk arrived at the door—to the moment she dressed as a man just once to break into a world that wasn’t built for women. Her journey is raw, witty, full of grit, and overflowing with heart.
Kathy shares:
• Growing up as the 2nd oldest of 13 children
• Working in the airline industry just to fly home and care for her mother
• Her path from beer to Bordeaux and the unshakable drive to become a sommelier
• Her passion for writing, brewing, storytelling, and breaking rules with purpose
• The two icons she’d love to share a drink with: Nelson Mandela and Princess Diana
A wife. A mother. A veteran’s partner. A woman who’s reinvented herself more times than most people dare to try. Kathy’s life is proof that resilience can be poured, shaken, and served with elegance.
Press play — and let Kathy pour you a story you’ll never forget.
