Rug Cuddle (with Us) is a cozy, funny lifestyle podcast about living a creative life in the real world. Hosted by Mr. Kate (aka Kate Albrecht) , known for helping millions tap into their inner creative weirdo, and her husband Joey Zehr , who brings the practical to the whimsical—keeping the glitter out of the engine— Rug Cuddle (with Us) explores creativity, relationships, parenting, wellness, and modern life through honest conversation, bite-sized segments, and a lot of laughter. Inspired by Kate and Joey’s real-life “Rug Cuddles” from their popular YouTube home makeover videos—intentional pauses to reflect, reset, and celebrate progress—each episode invites listeners to slow down, feel less alone, and reconnect with what makes life feel whimsical and fun. Expect listener Q&As, relationship real talk, creative inspiration, and unfiltered conversations—plus a recurring call with Kate’s little sister Tess for bookish chaos and single-life perspective. If you’re craving creativity without pressure, advice without judgment, and a podcast that feels like sitting on the rug with people who get it—this is your place. New episodes weekly.

Episode #33
The Weird Things We Do to Make Our Home Feel Good
Sep 29, 202643 min
Your home doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to have personality. For us, it’s a little weird, a little woo-woo, and very true to us. In episode 33, we’re sharing the strange little rituals, habits, design choices, and home quirks that make our spaces feel like ours, from the things we do for better sleep and energy to the things that would probably make absolutely no sense in anyone else’s house. Your version of weird is part of what makes you, you. So why not let those little quirks show up in your home, too? Because home should be more than a place that looks good. It should be a place where you can fully be yourself, decompress from the outside world, and maximize the experience of being at home. What’s something totally YOU that you do at home?

Does your house feel bland no matter how you decorate it? It’s not your fault! Fresh off our OMG We’re Coming Over! makeover at Ava Jules’ house (full room transformation videos coming soon), we’re inspired to share what we’ve learned about turning plain, builder-grade spaces into homes full of character. We transformed two of Ava’s gray, basic rooms with architectural interest and thoughtful design, and now we’re breaking down how you can bring those same ideas into your own home, whether you own or rent. We’re calling out the common offenders, from quarter rounds and orange-peel walls to flat finishes and basic flooring, and showing you how to bring charm, character, and soul back into a space through color, lighting, scale, and art. And you don’t have to spend a fortune to make your home feel expensive. Learning a few DIY skills, shopping Facebook Marketplace, and finding treasures at thrift stores can help you create a space that feels high end.

Oprah said once woman can’t have it all… and now, I agree with her! Episode 31 is the realistic power power-parent pep talk you didn’t know you needed! We tackle the question: How do you balance being a parent with being a person outside of parenting. We open up about the weight of the mental load, mom brain, the never-ending to-do list, and the challenge of making space for ourselves while raising kids. We love what we do, and our work gives us a huge outlet for creativity, but we’ve had to accept that we simply can’t make as many videos as we did before kids, and that’s okay! We’re learning to move the goalposts, embrace this season of life, and remind ourselves that it won’t last forever. Because while parenting can make it harder to find time for the things that make us feel like us, being a parent really is the greatest gift.We’d love to hear from other parents… What have you learned along the way?

Just as we hit 1 million subscribers, Kate had a hair disaster that left her half bald and changed the course of her personal style for years. Tess joins for episode 29 in which we share a crazy story time with a bit of Mr.Kate lore! We kept this story private from the internet until now, but if you look back at our old videos, you can spot all the ways we tried to disguise it: wigs, hats, headbands, hairstyles… you name it! While it was devastating at the time, it eventually led to something that became an iconic part of Kate’s look: the pink hair! If you were in Kate’s shoes, what would you have done?

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
