Chill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatLets chat about books - from Astrophysics to Fourth WingThis year has reignited my love of getting lost in literature. As we approach the last few months of 2023 I wanted to reflect on a goal I made for myself this year - the goal to read 12 books. I have doubled my goal by October and with my listeners who love reading in mind I wanted to take this episode to reflect on the books I have read thus far. This is the final episode of season 3 but before taking a brief break, I hope you are able to find a new book to read from my list and...2023-10-1245 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatWe need to discuss the Roman EmpireThere has been a trend going around the internet lately where men are coming out and disclosing that they think about the Roman Empire daily if not multiple times a day which led me to think about my own version of the Roman Empire. While I can confidently say I haven’t given the Roman Empire much thought since passing global history in 9th grade, I can say that I spend much of my time thinking about the radium girls. The radium girls have led me to become suspicious of jumping right into modern-day trends and that's what today's co...2023-09-2825 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatAttending the VMAsHave you ever watched an award show on TV and thought to yourself, “Wow I wish I could be there”? Well, that has always been me with the VMAs and I had the opportunity this past Tuesday to actually attend this year's show! While I think I am still processing the night and all that I experienced, I wanted to debrief a bit on the pod and talk about what really went down. From getting there to dancing the night away, this episode is all about how you can get to the VMAs, what to expect, and what actually happ...2023-09-1429 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatHidden vacation stressorsAfter two stressful years obtaining a master's degree, I finally went on vacation and was able to relax, but not without dealing with some hidden stressors first. While I think we all agree that vacations should be stress-free there are some things that we just can’t control that may arise before we even get our foot out the door. There are also other things that may just make it more challenging to just up and leave for a trip, such as having to find care for pets. This episode is all about the hidden stressors I recently encountered an...2023-08-3127 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatReigniting passionsWhen someone has a passion or is passionate about something it means that they have a strong interest or it elicits strong emotions from them. While passions are important to have in life as they contribute to our identity, provide an escape from other life stressors, and are something to be enjoyed, they often may be ignored when there are other things going on. I have realized the repercussions of ignoring my passions and have been working to reignite mine by joining new groups, going out and trying new things, and just mindfully taking the time to reflect on...2023-08-1727 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatFinding an aestheticThe term aesthetic has long determined the way my home, appearance, and social media pages look. Yet, throughout my life, I have found my personal choice in aesthetics to evolve, change over time, or even just with the seasons. I have never been able to fit into just one aesthetic and have since realized that it is not necessary to find just one. While those that are able to are considerably lucky, with all the aesthetics out there, trying new ones, mixing them up, or sticking to one are all options one can take to find the one for...2023-08-0327 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatIs fame worth it?In this episode we welcome back Zachary, my lovely boyfriend, who is an aspiring actor, to discuss fame and the pros and cons that come with it. As someone who has always admired the idea of fame and once wished to be a professional actress and singer, I personally have become far too comfortable with my private, non-spotlit life to ever let that go. Hence why Zachary is joining me as I wanted to pick his brain about fame, what he thinks about it, and what fears he has around it. I hope you enjoy this episode and if...2023-07-2046 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatStepping outside of your comfort zoneI have never been one to fear stepping out of my comfort zone but as I navigate post-grad life I definitely am confronted with the idea more and more. While it can feel daunting or scary, stepping outside of your comfort zone almost always comes with benefits and opportunities for self-growth. This week is all about comfort zones, how to identify when it's time to step out of one, the reflection before doing so, and the benefits that come with it.2023-07-0733 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatThe summer for expanding palatesWhen I first began cooking three years ago, I was a recipe follower and took little risks. As someone who loves food but is a picky eater, coming up with new meals, and trying new meals is a challenge. That's why three years ago I vowed to myself to incorporate some new food items into my palate throughout the year. While I love food, I will say that I find planning meals in the summer to be a challenge. Surrounded by fresh ingredients and minimal cooking options due to the heat, a picky eater like me runs into old...2023-06-2237 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatNew episodes and graduation and fires oh my!Welcome back to chill chats podcast!

I know it’s three weeks into the new year, but with this being my first episode of 2023 I needed to say it anyways. I hope the start of the year is treating you well, but if yours is going anything like mine and you’re struggling to find the rhythm again post-holidays, just know you’re not alone.

Chill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatIt’s time for a new year!It’s hard to believe that 2022 is already coming to an end and that in a few short days we will be ringing in 2023. At the end of each year, I love to reflect on all the things I did - going through photos, videos, posts I made, and the memories I hold - and jotting down some of my favorite highlights in a journal to reflect on in the future. I also enjoy setting intentions for myself for the new year, which, unlike traditional goals/resolutions, have no timelines or expectations attached to them. Rather, I reflect on ar...2022-12-2931 min
Chill Chats with Kaillee and Her Cat23 things I learned while 23Last Wednesday I celebrated my 24th birthday! In turning another year older I reflected a good bit on this past year, the challenges I faced and overcame, the growth I experienced, and all that I learned.

Chill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatWe got on the rink!Last week I reminisced on my first, and what I presumed to be my last, Rockefeller Christmas Spectacular Tree Lighting event. Since the last episode, I managed to snag two tickets to a pre-recording of this year's event which would place me on the rink in front of the action! In this episode, I discuss whether this new vantage point changed my opinion of the event and go over the highlights of this event. Also, since it is December 1st and the holidays are nearing, I wanted to go over my holiday gift guide/gift-giving tips.

With the end of the year sneaking up on us, I find this time of year, all that is going on, and the preparation for the new year to be hectic, overwhelming, and oftentimes resulting in me feeling burnt out. After struggling with burnout for what feels like a majority of this year but facing some relief in October, I wanted to take some time to reflect on what burnout is, what leads to it, and how to prevent it or manage it when it happens. I hope that the end of...2022-11-0336 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatHow to navigate feeling left outWith Halloween just around the corner, I can't help but think of one of the spookiest things of all - feeling left out. Maybe that's not what you were thinking I was going to say but the end of the year and holidays often leave me feeling a bit left out, or as though I should be doing something that I am not. In this episode I dive into feeling left out, the struggle of navigating adult friendships, and generally reflect on why I feel this way, to begin with. I hope you enjoy this episode and I hope...2022-10-2039 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatLets chat about fallFrom the weather to the scents, to the food, to the activities, what isn’t there to love about fall?

We hope you like this week's episode :)2022-07-2848 minChill Chats with Kaillee and Her CatFailed routinesTo be completely honest, I am not very good at implementing routines into my life. However, time after time, I try to start new routines, succeed for a week or so, and then never think twice about it again. This week I'm going to dive into a few of those routines and how to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Hopefully, you'll be able to reflect on your past and present routines and determine what works best for you, and what you might want to change.
