  I Wish Someone Told Me This About Being a Woman 08.09.2026 34min

  Oprah said once woman can’t have it all… and now, I agree with her! Episode 31 is the realistic power power-parent pep talk you didn’t know you needed! We tackle the question: How do you balance being a parent with being a person outside of parenting. We open up about the weight of the mental load, mom brain, the never-ending to-do list, and the challenge of making space for ourselves while raising kids. We love what we do, and our work gives us a huge outlet for creativity, but we’ve had to accept that we simply can’t make as many videos as we did before kids, and that’s okay! We’re learning to move the goalposts, embrace this season of life, and remind ourselves that it won’t last forever. Because while parenting can make it harder to find time for the things that make us feel like us, being a parent really is the greatest gift.We’d love to hear from other parents… What have you learned along the way?

  My Hairstylist Burned Half My Hair Off 25.08.2026 34min

  Just as we hit 1 million subscribers, Kate had a hair disaster that left her half bald and changed the course of her personal style for years. Tess joins for episode 29 in which we share a crazy story time with a bit of Mr.Kate lore! We kept this story private from the internet until now, but if you look back at our old videos, you can spot all the ways we tried to disguise it: wigs, hats, headbands, hairstyles… you name it! While it was devastating at the time, it eventually led to something that became an iconic part of Kate’s look: the pink hair!  If you were in Kate’s shoes, what would you have done?

  Being a Creative & Raising Kids In the Age of AI 18.08.2026 51min

  In Episode 28, we’re getting into the big, slightly uncomfortable question: what happens to creativity & curiosity in the age of AI? Plus, it’s time we bring our tips & tricks for the perfect rug the Rug Cuddle community!When it comes to AI, Joey is embracing it while Kate is a little more skeptical. We take a call from a children’s book author who worries that AI might replace her, and we both encourage her not to lose hope. Joey shares his experience as a musician when electronic music changed the industry, and we talk about how every new technology has the potential to reshape creative work. We’re hopeful that as AI-generated art becomes more common, there may be an even greater appreciation and demand for art made by humans.We also get into the question of how we want AI and technology to fit into our families, including creating our own rules for how we use it at home. Plus, we inform Tess that maybe the reason dating is so hard these days is that some men might be falling in love with AI… but honestly, she probably wouldn’t want that guy anyway. Automate the boring parts of your job: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbqN70rjam1/?hl=en&img_index=1New York Times Article Written By ChatGPT & A human: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/20/opinion/beach-read-ai.htmlOur curtain advice:

  Our hot summer adventure is coming to a close as we bring you Episode 26 from the charming town of Lakeside, Ohio! It may seem like a random stop on the map, but we have Joey’s family’s religious background to thank for introducing us to this picture perfect summer community.

  Are We Meant To Be Monogamous? Sisters in Sicily! 28.07.2026 51min

  Ciao from Italy!  In episode 25 we’re coming to you from Sicily with a very special guest: Tess, who joined us (along with Kate’s dad!) for this part of our adventure. Luckily, our beautiful hotel room has air conditioning because it’s over 100 degrees here. Joey can’t stop sweating, Kate loses her Kindle and immediately is worried about what someone might discover on it, and Tess realizes she’s been dressing for her inner child all along. Kate and Tess use the pod for some sister talk, from their new dark and spicy book obsession to the question: Tess once thought she wanted the kind of relationship Joey and Kate have… until she thought about it a little more. We also debate an important fashion question: can you wear a band tee for a band you don’t actually know? Tell us what you think!

  Paris Heat Wave! Rug Cuddle Pod LIVE from Europe 21.07.2026 43min

  Bonjour, we're coming to you from Normandy, France for episode 24! We're here after we realized pretty quickly that as much as we love the old buildings and architecture in Paris, those beautiful old buildings do not have the air conditioning us Americans are used to. Even trying to buy a fan felt like we were doing a drug deal. C'est la vie, let's do as the French do and get out of the city.This brings us to discussing how, despite all this, we truly prefer the craftsmanship and style of European homes compared to new builds. The good news? We can now get that same 1800s craftsmanship at a much lower price point, with all the modern amenities we're not willing to give up, and we're taking notes for our own remodel. We share exciting news that we're headed to DIY Con in the fall, plus answer the question of whether we ever get sick of each other, since we spend the majority of our time together working side by side. Stay tuned for next week’s episode with Tess in Italy!

  Stop Asking Women This… and Fix Your Curtains 14.07.2026 47min

  In Episode 23 of Rug Cuddle With Us, we’re coming to you from Tess’s garage! What should you do when someone crosses the line with an unsolicited comment? This week, we’re unpacking the wild things people feel entitled to say about women’s lives while sharing our own very strong opinions about the eyebrows of the room: curtains! We’re also diving into whether you’re a tiger or a dragon in the bedroom based on which side of the bed you choose. And Joey’s plan to sleep on a camping mattress during our trip?

  Smiling on Camera, Grieving in Secret: Our Two Miscarriages 07.07.2026 1val 1min

  Episode 22 is one we’ve wanted to make for a long time. Nine years ago, we experienced our first miscarriage while we were at the height of our OMG We’re Coming Over series. We were smiling on camera every week while privately navigating one of the hardest chapters of our lives. After experiencing a second miscarriage, we searched for answers and realized just how common pregnancy loss is, and how little it’s talked about.Today, we’re in a place where we can look back with gratitude and finally share our story, hoping it brings comfort to someone who needs it. We also share Kate’s closet clean-out tips, meaningful ways to memorialize a pregnancy loss or loved one through art, Tess’s adventures in Europe, the importance of having a “third place,” and why she’s loving tandem reading Throne of Glass. Don’t worry, we’ll be taking a little vacation, but a brand new episode will be waiting for you next Tuesday.

  When Your Hobby Becomes Your Whole Personality 30.06.2026 47min

  Stick out your tongue… it’s Episode 21! From cortisol-lowering hacks to grieving the loss of hobbies, we explore what happens when the thing you love becomes your career… and potentially your identity.Kate shares how she brings new life to her hobbies, and doesn’t let perfection stop her from starting new ones. Joey reminds us that the loss of one hobby, like his drumming career just means there’s room for another. Plus, Tess and Kate are using color analysis and capsule wardrobes to pack for their European summer adventures.

  We Had to Unlearn This to Raise Creative Kids 23.06.2026 48min

  Episode 20 is all about our son Moon’s birthday celebration: a camping-themed party of his dreams. As expected, Kate took the theme very seriously, and Joey somehow talked his way through a few logistical roadblocks.  We reflect on being parents for seven years now and truly having the best kids. We can’t take all the credit, but in response to a caller’s question about raising creative kids, we share some of the things we’ve been intentional about as parents, from avoiding the pressures of toxic masculinity to prioritizing unstructured play instead of competition in early childhood.  Plus, Tess is back for the Throne of Glass talk. Despite Joey claiming he loved the series, he seems to remember surprisingly little of what actually happened. Check out the Rug Cuddle Instagram to see Joey’s latest 5-star reads.

  Episode 19 is the sister therapy episode! Tess joins us in person as we talk about how a 6.5-year age gap never stopped us from being best friends. Kate even gives Tess a makeover during the episode! Since we don’t live near each other anymore, we also share what has helped us stay close.  We dive into the experiences that shaped our bond, from navigating divorce in our family to Tess’s near-fatal accident and the protective big-sister instincts it sparked in Kate.

  Do We Regret Moving to Hawaii? 09.06.2026 53min

  In Episode 18, we share the latest update on our dream home plans, including something Kate has wanted for years for and is the perfect birthday gift. Now we just need those permits to cooperate. A perfectly timed call from a 73-year-old creative weirdo reminds us of something we all need to hear: you’re okay. We also discuss why we left LA and whether the pros of living in Hawaii outweigh the cons. Inspired by the aloha spirit, we’re dreaming up ways to help families impacted by the recent flooding and wondering: which YouTubers should we recruit to join the cause? Our Creative Sparks this week are all about adding a little more whimsy to everyday life. From Patch Summer, where adventures earn you embroidered badges, to the return of good old-fashioned snail mail. Tess skipped the book and dating updates this week because she was too busy living her best Vegas life at a Hilary Duff concert and chatting about books at the club. But if you know any historically accurate romantasy novels, send your recommendations Kate’s way. And stay tuned for next week’s episode because Tess will finally be joining us in Hawaii, in person, where two eligible bachelors may or may not be waiting for her…Patch Summer: tiktok.com/t/ZTByhvPAN/Proud of You Newsletter: https://proudofyou.club/products/proud-of-you-mail-club-u-sSong of Achilles: https://amzn.to/43RFmII If you like this podcast, please follow and leave us a five star review!

  They Said My Voice Would Ruin My Career 02.06.2026 52min

  This week, a caller asks Kate a question that sparks a bigger conversation about staying true to yourself. Early in her acting career, TV executives told her she needed to tone herself down. Instead, she found a community of creative weirdos who liked her because of her quirks.We’re also celebrating Mars turning one, which marks a full year since one of the scariest chapters of our lives. For her birthday, we’re building a mud kitchen in the backyard, which ties perfectly into our new segment, Design Tip of the Week, where we talk about refreshing your home for summer and creating outdoor spaces that actually get used.Plus we fell down a cyberdeck TikTok rabbit hole , where brilliant makers are building whimsical custom computers from scratch, dropped some celebrity lore from our LA days, and talked about the books we can’t put down. What’s your favorite part of the podcast?

  The DIY Nervous System Remodel That Changed My Life 26.05.2026 55min

  This episode is a girl's hypersensitive guide to living in a world that's stacked against your nervous system. For Kate, that looked like years of debilitating chronic migraines. After trying just about everything, in true Mr.Kate fashion, she made her own solution and is so excited to share her midnight stretching ritual with all of you on the Rug Cuddle Instagram. And because overwhelm doesn't stop at the nervous system — you know that feeling when you open Pinterest for "just a little inspiration" and three hours later you're feeling overwhelmed, defeated, and somehow further from a decision than when you started? Dr. Kate has a prescription for that. It's called the Pinterest barf, and she walks you through her full step-by-step method for going from chaotic inspiration to a clear design direction without losing your mind. And then there's Tess, navigating the equally overwhelming world of dating — and how she may have accidentally gotten a little drunk on her Hinge date and ended up inviting him in to meet her cat, who was he was starstruck by. Single ladies, have the cat men taken over your algorithm or is it just Tess? And more importantly — how do we get her a date with Harry from the Sidemen??

  We lost a job… over breastfeeding? 19.05.2026 49min

  Warning: this one's a tearjerker. We open up about something that weighed heavy on us: motherhood costing us a business opportunity. Knowing this happens to women all the time is exactly why we choose to walk away. Which got us talking about how women have spent years trying to fit into systems made for men, when science is only just now catching up to how differently we're actually wired. And maybe the answer we're looking for can be found in bees? We also share our survival tips for getting through the newborn stage, plus a delightfully whimsical creative spark that brings magic to an everyday task. Tess may have gotten dumped on the pod, but thanks to a friend hijacking her Hinge she's got a date with Fae — while Joey wishes it was at 7/11, he’ll settle for her agreeing not to mention that she’s currently reading a Peter Pan romantasy book.

  Parenting Witchcraft + Kate’s Princess Diaries Lore 12.05.2026 58min

  Joey kicks things off poking fun at Kate’s witchy era, which thanks to WitchTok has only gotten stronger… but after an astrology reading hits a little too close to home, he’s suddenly shouting from the rooftops that after 7 years, he’s finally out of Uranus.  We also get into our experience trying elimination communication, aka “diaper witchcraft,” while potty training our newborn, Kate shares one of her favorite analog activities lately: handing Moon a screen-free retro film-style camera to explore with. It captures all the nostalgic magic of a disposable camera, but without the wait to get the photos developed. We laugh about Kate’s cameo in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement still following her everywhere online, including the completely unscripted accent behind her iconic line. Tess reveals a shocking DNF, and we spiral into the dream of creating a TV show where we remodel homes in all 50 states… Netflix call us!  The Glasgow Witch: https://www.tiktok.com/@thatglasgowwitch Digifilm Camera: https://digifilmcamera.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorKBtRCo5GCvth8VPZIFLZ9_RPswmAJ7OkUb60U02mCG4ml-Y3i If you liked this video please give it a 👍 and SUBSCRIBE to our channel! http://bit.ly/mrkateyoutube It means the world to us and we have a great community here!

  I Stopped Shaving 4 Years Ago... Here's What My Husband Thinks 05.05.2026 1val

  In this episode, we push back on the status quo—from building a custom family bed to co-sleeping work, to Kate opening up about what she’s stopped doing to please society (like shaving) and fully embracing aging, to be an example for our daughter. Tess might not have met her match from the podcast, but it did spark a fun night out with longtime friends—also single and ready to mingle—and led to a debate about “catching print”… which, surprisingly, has nothing to do with interior design.

  The Drama of The Dream House Continues... 28.04.2026 1val 1min

  In this episode, we’re racing to finish our guest house before visitors arrive but an unexpected (and very unwanted) guest—mold—might just change everything. A caller sparks a conversation about the feng shui and Kate shares the rules she swears by to make a space feel as good as it looks—but things take a turn when Joey starts questioning her about the Somavedic under their bed… Meanwhile, Kate calls Joey out for not being the dating expert he claims to be, sharing a story from a movie they worked on together—where he somehow flew out a girl he wasn’t even that into… after starting a fling with someone from the costume department instead. Plus, we dive into family compounds—why they’re suddenly having a moment—get into books we had to DNF, and unpack the unexpected curveball Joey is currently reading.
