  • Feels like a friend chat

    Absolutely adore this podcast! I have followed KC since 2020 and have missed her raw chats. This feels so much like the old times of insta but even better. I love listening and feeling like I am chatting with a friend about all the things. My favorite part “whatever it doesn’t matter” 😂 because it’s literally how we talk to friends while telling a story. We get sidetracked and try to stay on the same story. Keep this up KC! Can’t wait to hear all the episodes to come!

  • 100% worth the follow and listen

    I am NOT a podcast person (seriously, can’t ever get into them) but I’ve followed KC on instagram for a few years and wanted to give this a listen because of much of her story I can relate too. Let me tell you, it’s so validating and real.

  • Easy to listen to one of my best friends

    KC has such a sweet voice, but her knowledge, insights and vulnerability add tremendous strength. KC doesn’t know me, but I feel like she is one of my best friends, during this very challenging and lonely journey of motherhood; she gets it and she is sharing so that no one feels alone. I feel seen. Keep up the lovely work you do KC.
