In this episode of Through the HurriKane, I sit down with my dear friend Dr. Linda Barrasse, a cardiologist, author, and mother who lost her son, Cody, in a tragic accident. Linda shares the story of Cody’s final act of generosity—donating his organs—and how she found hope and purpose through unimaginable grief. We talk about love, faith, and learning to live again after loss. The song of the episode, chosen by Linda in memory of Cody, is “You Are My Sunshine” by Johnny Cash. Hosted on Ausha.

In this fourth and final conversation with my niece Lexi, I share the hardest part of my journey and the lessons that kept me moving forward when everything inside me wanted to stop. Prison was a world I never imagined. There were moments I thought I could not survive, moments I believed my boys were better off without me. But there were also moments of grace, kindness, and even laughter. I also share the wild story of my bail and why that day, which should have broken me, became a reminder that love and family can carry you through anything. Hosted on Ausha.

I’m Kathleen Kane, and in this second episode of the “Flip the Script” series, I share the climb before the crash. I talk about my years in the DA’s office, including why I chose to prosecute child and sexual abuse cases, and how that work shaped me. Against the odds, I eventually became the first woman and first Democrat elected as Attorney General in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a milestone that marked the turning point of my career. I unpack the hurdles that came with this: being an outsider, being underestimated, and how, despite it all, I really believed that I could win. Hosted on Ausha.

Welcome to the very first episode of Through the HurriKane. This show is about learning to dance through life’s fiercest storms, because I’ve lived through my share. Normally, I’ll be talking with guests about their journeys, but these first four episodes are different. We’re calling them the “Flip the Script” series, because before I ask the questions, I’m answering them. In this episode, my niece Lexi interviews me as I share my story for the first time. This isn’t about defending the past. It’s about moving forward, finding strength, and helping others know they’re not alone. If you’ve ever felt like life’s storms might swallow you whole, I hope my story gives you a reason to keep going. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

The first two episodes covered my roots and my rise, but this one is about the fall. From the first signs that something was coming to the investigation to walking into court under the glare of national media, it's all here. I share what it felt like to go from Pennsylvania’s top prosecutor to sitting at the defense table and why my biggest mistake was trusting too much. I talk about the verdict, the quiet car ride home, and the hardest conversation of my life with my boys. How do you keep moving when everything is out of your control? Sometimes the answer is coffee, clean sheets, prayer, and pure grit. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
