“Family, Faith and Silver Linings”
with Kate Langbroek
Kate Langbroek (Australian Comedian & Presenter)
@katelangbroek
If haven’t had the privilege to hear the defining chuckle from Australia’s most loved Comedian and TV/Radio presenter, Kate Langbroek, then you haven’t experienced the joy that her wondrous laugh can bring. Listening to Kate over the many years that she has front lined the media industry has been a rollercoaster of life learnings and belly laughs, where she has incidentally shared by lived example of what it means to really live, how her family battled through their son Lewis’ cancer to come out the other side, and her quick witted ‘cut through the crap’ reminders of what is really important in life - cherishing family, having faith whether it’s through a religion or simply through believing in something greater than you, and finding the silver linings in life challenges, all the while maybe not even knowing the profound positive impact that Kate leaves in her wake. So how does a woman get to a place of such clarity when it comes to these values? And not lose sight of it in an industry that worships fame and fortune, only to stray true to family, community and her own developing version of faith as she dances through.
“It’s a lot of work (to be a matriarch) and a lot of us don’t want to do that work”
