Did you know the average adult laughs 20x a day and the average child laughs 300x a day? How about you? Where do you rank on the laughter scale?

When we (Kim S. and Kim H.) get together, laughter and joy are abundant! (As you heard right after the intro today, thanks to our editor!)

It's definitely part of who we are, but we also have committed to being real with each other, so when we're together, we feel the freedom to allow that side of ourselves to come through!

Keepin' It Real Question: What were you like as a child?

What about you? How can you rediscover your inner child?
Here are some thoughts from today's discussion:
* Find friends who help you feel safe to bring out your fun side!
* Do things that help you feel the freedom to be silly and enjoy the little things in life!

Join us on our Facebook page to share your stories about who makes you laugh. How have you found joy today?

Close the blinds and shut the doors; it's time to discuss a secret world that exists, but some don't want to talk about...M-O-N-E-Y...Finances...

But in this episode, we're actually opening the blinds and the doors, coming into the light, and empowering ourselves to enter the world of finances!

Almost half of women surveyed say that money and finances cause them mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Join us for the discussion today to talk about how we can take the stigma off of facing our financial future.

Keepin' It Real Question: What does money mean to you?

What comes to mind when you think of your current circle of friends? Do you feel included or left out? Are you lonely? 

When we (Kim S. and Kim H.) began this podcast, it came after renewing a friendship we formed years ago. We sat over lunch and shared our lives and got real with each other. Sometimes a friendship can be "new" or it can be "renewed"...join us today for the discussion.

Today we discuss ways to make new friends and connect with the 'old' friends. 

Keepin' It Real Question: Part 1 - When you look at your social media and see your number of "friends"...how many of those do you truly have a friendship with? 
Part 2 - When it comes to making new friends, is it easy or difficult?

If you've listened to our podcast for long, it's not secret that we really enjoy what we do on Keepin' It Real! In fact...we LOVE it!! But this is not our "day job"...in fact we do have a regular life that keeps us both very busy. What do we do when we aren't "Keepin' It Real"? This show is the answer to that question...let me introduce
