In this episode of Comfort Food, Kelly Rizzo sits down with Arielle Lorre, host of the hit "Well.With Arielle Lorre" podcast, to talk about what it really means to choose a life without children, and why that choice can still be full, meaningful, and deeply connected.

They discuss the societal pressure and judgment many child-free women face, the myth that all women naturally want children, and why fulfillment can come from many different places.

Arielle shares how recovery, relationships, family, and community have shaped her life and brought her a strong sense of purpose. Kelly reflects on the expectations women often face and the importance of knowing yourself well enough to choose the path that feels right for you.

They talk about:

• Never feeling the urge to have kids

• Dating and finding a partner who also does not want children

• Why not wanting kids is not selfish

• Why having children does not guarantee you will not be lonely later in life

• Public scrutiny and online criticism

• The cultural belief that women exist primarily to become mothers

Kelly and Arielle also discuss Timothée Chalamet’s recent comment that being child-free is “bleak,” and why they believe fulfillment comes from building a life that feels authentic to who you are.

This conversation is not anti-motherhood. It is about self-awareness, personal alignment, and having the freedom to build a life that reflects who you are and what matters most to you.

Romance scams aren’t just something that happens to “other people.” They are a growing, modern-day epidemic - and they can devastate entire families.

In this episode of Comfort Food, Kelly sits down with her sister Kristin Rizzo to talk about how romance scams really work, why they’re so effective, and the very real emotional and financial damage they can cause. Kelly shares a deeply personal story about how a romance scam played a major role in destroying the marriage and life of a close family member, and how the fallout affected everyone around them.

Together, Kelly and Kristin break down what romance scams actually look like, why smart, capable people fall for them, and why victims often stay even when red flags start to appear. They talk about shame, secrecy, manipulation, and the psychological tactics scammers use to build trust and dependency.

This episode also offers practical, matter-of-fact guidance — how to spot warning signs, what to do if you think you or someone you love may be involved in a scam, and how to approach these situations with compassion rather than judgment.

This conversation is personal, educational, and meant to help protect others from going through the same kind of loss.

We’ve all heard the phrase “red flags,” but what do they actually look like when you’re inside the relationship?

In this episode of Comfort Food, Kelly sits down with one of her best friends Tiffany Louise, a licensed therapist and life coach, to talk honestly about red flags in relationships. Together, they break down how red flags show up, why they’re so easy to miss in the moment, and what to do when something doesn’t feel right.

Kelly opens up about her worst breakup and reflects on the red flags she can now see clearly in hindsight, but couldn’t recognize at the time. Tiffany brings professional insight into common patterns, including narcissistic tendencies, emotional manipulation, boundary issues, and why our nervous systems sometimes override logic when we’re emotionally invested.

This conversation is practical, compassionate, and grounded. It’s about learning, not blaming. Whether you’re dating, in a relationship, healing from one, or trying to make sense of past experiences, this episode offers clarity and tools to help you trust yourself more moving forward.
