Kali J Desautels

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity. I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books. A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been “super married” to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids. My first book – How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!) I have tried a podcast – it’s still on Apple and Google Podcasts – but writing is where my heart is. My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit. I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually. Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!

Podcast Multitasking FTW

So… today, recording KaliDesautelsReads(WritesAndRants) looks like me sitting in the backseat of my husband’s car, while he does his radiation, with my notes on the laptop on the seat next to me. (And hoping desperately that the Anchor App that I use actually functions today!!)

What is today’s podcast about, you ask? Well, I am thrilled to tell you that I am reviewing and recommending the new @msrachelhollis book Girl, Stop Apologizing; discussing living in gratitude for the helpers during our hardest seasons; and the amazing @michelleobama Becoming book tour! Do me a favour and give it a listen! If you like it, please, please, PUH-LEEEEZE subscribe to it, because that is how Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, Google, or whatever you use to listen to podcasts determines whether or not they should begin recommending it and to whom! I can’t wait for your feedback!
