It's Nothing, It's EverythingE19 Letting Go Without Losing Control (Or Sanity), Parenting EditionRaising children is one long lesson in letting go, which is cute in theory, but feels more like Armageddon in real life. We’re talking trust, boundaries, and finding your footing in the messy middle of control and freedom. It's about parenting, but it's also about all the things2025-08-121h 27It's Nothing, It's EverythingE18 Strong Women Deserve Pillars, Not ProjectsHoo boy do we have some juicy juice in this episode.

From carbs and macros to menopause and mood swings, we unpack why nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all — and why diet culture can kindly see itself out. Whether you're navigating weight loss, muscle gain, hormone shifts, or just trying to feel good in your skin, we’re breaking it down with zero-guilt laughs, love, and a side of extra salty fries.2025-07-291h 21It's Nothing, It's EverythingE16 Every Choice Costs SomethingIn this week's #kthottake we dig into the tension between having the tools and having the time, and why every “yes” quietly says “no” to something else. No neat answers here, just honest talk about tradeoffs, priorities, and trying to do it all without losing it. It's not a breakdown, it's just life. 2025-07-221h 24It's Nothing, It's EverythingE15 Still Needs A HugTurns out one wasn't enough, we needed to dig deeper into our harsh inner voices and unearth more childhood stories. We talk through how we mind-ninja ourselves, and also give out some thank-yous and shout-outs. It's a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It's nothing and everything. Come be kind to yourself with us; it's the cat's pajamas.2025-07-1554 minIt's Nothing, It's EverythingE14 When Your Inner Monologue Needs a HugBack to our regularly scheduled programming, we're shining a light on the harsh critic that is our inner voice. We unpack why our brains default to being the party pooper and how to shut them down without turning into a toxic positivity robot. There's other stuff too. It's giving full Moming-in-Summer chaos. 2025-07-081h 16It's Nothing, It's EverythingE13 Unqualified: The One Where They Talk PoliticsIt was bound to happen...

We're flipping the script from our last #kthottake to celebrate the beauty of the complexity of adult friendships: more opportunities to be seen and understood, fewer friendships out of obligation, and our personal favorite- the ability to simultaneously support one another and have the time of your life doing it. Oh, there's also some Liver King, Bob Ross, and a handful of other topics that have no business being part of this episode. 2025-06-241h 04It's Nothing, It's EverythingE11 The Not At All Father's Day EpisodeWhat started as a brief Father's Day shout-out for use as an episode intro turned into... well... its own whole-ass episode. There are Fathers- our own fathers, the fathers that father our children, some other fathers (or at least people who may be fathers?), and also not at all fathers. It's relationships, it's childhood, it's our meet-cutes with our husbands... It's all of the things, it's none of the things. You know the drill.2025-06-171h 23It's Nothing, It's EverythingE10 Ten Secrets, Zero ChillY'all, it's our tenth episode! Ten very public displays of the things that make us tick, ten hours of subjecting you to topic-pinball, ten opportunities to validate your own experiences and feel a little less alone. So now, ten impromptu questions (not secrets, really) that get to the heart of who we are. We laugh, we cry, we say some weird shit... and we love that you're here for it. Strap in!2025-06-101h 02It's Nothing, It's EverythingE09 No New Friends? SameThis #kthottake is brought to you by the struggles of navigating adult friendships. We’re unpacking the emotional clutter that comes with opening your circle to new friends (or not), setting boundaries, and figuring out who actually deserves your energy. From forced mom-friendships to trusting your gut, we’re diving into what it means to expand and contract without losing yourself. As usual, we have opinions.2025-06-0356 minIt's Nothing, It's EverythingE08 The Email Was Giving Ted LassoA little behind-the-scenes to wet your whistle, then a love letter to the quiet heroes who show up with kindness when it counts. We're getting personal about how having even one person believe in you is the survival secret sauce in this chaotic life. Right words + right time = everything. Let's reframe failure as a plot twist, not the end of the story.2025-05-271h 03It's Nothing, It's EverythingE07 Nice People Lie BetterWe're diving into one of our favorite spicy topics: being agreeable vs. being authentic. This one's for the people pleasers and the people who've been steamrolled by one. From fake-nice trauma to boundary-setting breakthroughs, we’re getting real about the cost of keeping the peace. Just some hard-earned wisdom from two recovering “nice girls” on a healing journey.2025-05-1953 minIt's Nothing, It's EverythingE06 Rage Against the Kardashillusion#kthottake: Another round of Not Your Mom's Advice Column, where we peel back the layers on society’s long-standing obsession with attaching human value to a number on a scale. Our horse today is quite high as we discuss a tale as old as time: body image as a social construct shaped by power and profit (womp womp). If you've ever been unhappy when looking in the mirror, this one's for you. 2025-05-131h 02It's Nothing, It's EverythingE05 Weepin' and Wheezin': The Chappell Roan EpisodeChappell Roan stirred the pot with her bold take on parenting, and let’s just say- feelings were felt.

From trauma bonding to butterfly taps, we cover a whole different kind of chaos. 2025-04-221h 25It's Nothing, It's EverythingE02 The Unboxing ContinuesBuckle up for part two as we continue chatting through the stuff most people whisper (or avoid entirely) with absolutely no chill.
