ABWilson's Heart of the Matter
Welcome to the ABWilson Heart of the Matter podcast. I'm Aderonke Bademosi Wilson, and I'm thrilled to be your host. From the stunning shores of Bermuda, nestled in the heart of the North Atlantic Ocean, comes a podcast that goes beyond the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle. Here, we dive into the depths of human experience, one heartwarming story at a time. Heart of the Matter isn't just another podcast.
It's a journey of exploration and discovery. In each episode, I sit down with remarkable individuals from all walks of life. These aren't household names. They're everyday heroes with fascinating tales to share. Drawing from my passion for Appreciative Inquiry, a management methodology focused on amplifying positivity, strengths, and successes.
In fostering meaningful change, we seek to uncover the moments that define us. I unearth stories of joy, kindness, and resilience through overwhelmingly positive questions.
Tell me about a recent accomplishment or success you're particularly proud of.
Can you recall a situation where you overcame a challenge that led to personal growth?
What did you learn from that experience? And what book recommendations do you have?
These are just a few of the questions we explore together. We will delve into the heart of each story, one conversation at a time, but be warned, laughter and tears are both frequent companions on this journey. That's the beauty of authenticity. It knows no bounds.
What sets ABWilson's Heart of the Matter apart is its consistency. I ask each guest the same questions in the same order, creating a blueprint of diverse experiences woven together by a common thread. So whether you need a good laugh or a heartfelt moment of reflection, join me as we celebrate the extraordinary within the ordinary.
Welcome to the Heart of the Matter, where every story awaits sharing.

S2 Ep11. Katharina Linnepe: Healing the Patriarchy, One Laugh at a Time
Welcome to another edition of ABWilson's Heart of the Matter. In today's episode, we are joined by Katharina Linnepe—feminist, author, and passionate advocate for equality. Katharina’s empathetic nature and strong vision for a more inclusive world shine through in everything she does.
Katharina joins us from Berlin, Germany, where she’s experiencing the tail end of winter, but keeping the sun alive in her heart. It’s great to have her with us today. Katharina, now adding author to her list of descriptors, begins by defining what feminism means to her. Her perspective is one of inclusivity and shared progress, emphasizing the importance of equality for all.
Describing herself as multi-passionate, Katharina works across various fields: as a presenter, moderator, host, comedian, podcaster, and keynote speaker. Her journey as a keynote speaker began with her first book, and it’s clear that her diverse passions are all driven by her dedication to advocating for feminism and equality.
Katharina’s book, Patriarchy in Therapy, presents an unconventional approach to feminism through comedy. The concept of therapy for our social system, with patriarchy as the patient, is humorous and unsettling. The book’s unique angle uses humor to tackle serious social issues, bringing a fresh perspective to feminism.
Katharina shares her strong belief in the importance of empathy when working towards a world with equal rights. Empathy, to Katharina, is about truly understanding the feelings of the person in front of you, which is crucial for meaningful connections.
Katharina shares some fun facts about herself. She’s a highly sensitive person, attuned to noise, light, and social input—traits she considers a superpower. She’s also multi-passionate, focusing on a central theme of feminism and equality and building projects around it. And, on a lighter note, she doesn't particularly like vegetables—except for tomatoes.
Katharina’s ability to blend humor with serious topics is one of her greatest strengths. She views comedy as a Trojan horse for feminism—able to reach people in a way that traditional discourse might not. Her high sensitivity and empathy also allow her to deeply understand people’s fears, worries, and confusions.
