After Work Drinks
A Very Ultra Summer With... Kath Ebbs
Hello muffins. This week we’re thrilled to be talking to Kath Ebbs, the Australian model, vlogger, and influencer who has a growing audience of 60,000 followers (and counting) thanks to her sex positive, queer-inclusive social media presence, and her wellness-focused website, Cath Me Kath. We specifically wanted to speak to Kath for our #VeryUltra summer because what she’s doing is, to us, the definition of being Very Ultra—aside from using her considerable platform to speak candidly about her mental health battles and how her relationship with food and wellness has helped her manage crippling anxiety, Kath is best known for her work rallying the Australian government to make sex education queer-inclusive. We speak to Kath about how an inclusive sex education would have transformed her life as a teenager, her decision to stop drinking aged 18 (and how to ward off inevitable comments and judgement if you want to do the same), making your relationship work in quarantine, and how she's learned to redefine 'wellness' on her own terms.
As always, please rate, review, and subscribe—and you can follow Kath on Instagram, or visit her website here.
We are so happy you guys are loving the #VeryUltra summer so far, please remember to keep sending in your best Very Ultra moments to win a skincare prize pack from Ultra Violette (email hello@afterworkdrinks.net with your voice note)—and that you get 10% off your next order, all summer long, by entering AWD10 at the checkout.
