About this listen

When catastrophic floods devastated the Texas Hill Country earlier this month, Kathryn Whitaker responded with action—raising $34,000 in just a few days to directly support impacted families through gift cards distributed via 4-H agents and local parishes. In this raw and timely episode, Kathryn and Katie McGrady talk about grief, generosity, trauma, and what it means to show up for others in moments of profound tragedy.

Together, they explore:

  • The psychological toll of weather disasters
  • Why people choose to give in moments of crisis
  • Teaching kids how to grieve and serve
  • The long tail of recovery, even after headlines fade
  • How Catholic Charities and the Church remain on the frontlines

This episode is a heartfelt call to action, a meditation on mercy, and a testament to the power of small acts of love in the face of unspeakable loss.
