As Katie navigates through work and college, she tries to keep a balance by taking time to hike and\u00a0 play dominoes with a focus on relaxation. If hiking alone, Katie had tips on ways to be safe but also on how to let others know your location. She uses a couple of hiking apps like Alltrails for location purposes since she once got lost on a hike and the hiking app assisted her in getting back to safety. Katie playing dominoes with family and friends sounds riskier than hiking alone.\u00a0 Katie talked about playing dominoes against her dad who is a third generation domino player, so it definitely is an interesting family time game. Katie remembers all her life hearing dominoes slam down or friends just talking around the table. \u201cAs a kid watching them, it was almost like breaking bread with somebody,\u201d Katie fondly described her childhood memories of growing up around domino games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Katie is quick to give her opinion on several cases such as the Jon Benet case since her intense interest in not just podcasts but how the criminal mind thinks. \u201cMy sister Kaycee\u00a0 and I argue about this case all the time, we have debated about this case for hours.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
