Reality Life with Kate Casey

In this re-air of my interview with author Elizabeth Beller, we revisit the life and legacy of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy,  the enigmatic wife of John F. Kennedy Jr., whose story continues to fascinate a generation.   With renewed interest sparked by the upcoming FX series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, inspired by Beller’s book, this conversation feels more timely than ever.   In Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Beller reexamines Carolyn’s life beyond the tabloid mythology. She explores Carolyn’s early years, her career in fashion, her complicated relationship with fame, and the intense media scrutiny that defined her marriage. The result is an effervescent and deeply researched portrait of a woman often misunderstood — stylish yet private, modern yet steeped in the weight of American legacy.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Cindy Eckert, entrepreneur, investor, and the central figure in the new Paramount+ documentary The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs & Who Has Control. The documentary film examines the decade-long, uphill battle to get the first FDA-approved medication for female libido, Addyi, approved and brought to market. Directed by Aisling Chin-Yee, the film highlights the stark contrast between the fast-tracked approval of Viagra for men and the intense, often biased scrutiny faced by advocates of "female Viagra.”   Eckert fought for 10 years to bring Addyi to market, facing regulatory roadblocks and public skepticism, ultimately revealing systemic gender bias in healthcare.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseyAddyi DisclaimerADDYI, flibanserin, is for women under 65 with low sexual desire disorder who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire that is troubling to them no matter the type of sexual activity, situation, or sexual partner. The low sexual desire is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship or medicine or other drug use. ADDYI is not for men or to enhance sexual performance. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink 1-2 standard alcoholic drinks close in time to your ADDYI dose. Wait at least 2 hours after one to two drinks before taking ADDYI at bedtime and skip your dose if you drink three or more drinks that evening. If you take certain prescription, OTC or herbal medications, or have liver problems, the risk of low blood pressure and fainting increases and you should not take ADDYI. Do not take if you are allergic to any of ADDYI’s ingredients. Sometimes serious sleepiness can occur. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and dry mouth.
