Happy Friday! This week Sam & Fran bring the one, the only....Mama Cento on the podcast. Maria Centofante is a tough, loud, loving Calabrese mom who enjoys shaking things up, and that is exactly what she did. Maria reveals some of Sam & Frans most embarrassing stories and recalls memories that the girls though they buried forever. And make sure to stick around for a game of 'most likely to..' where Maria makes the final call. Its safe to say that Sam & Fran definitely do not agree on some of their mom's answers.

Welcome back to another episode! This week Sam & Fran get into the topic of Imposter Syndrome.. are you an imposter of your life? The girls discuss experiences where they've doubted their talents or skills as well as times where they've felt like meeking their personalities to ‘fit in’ to certain social or professional situations. Fran mentions the concept of  “inner child” and personal experiences where external influences made her doubt who she really is. And Sam touches on how she sometimes questions whether her ambitious goals are really just her over-achieving things that she may not really be cut out for...... It gets DEEP and KIC keeps it REAL, like always.

This week Sam & Fran are joined by @myanxietycoach, aka, Natasha for KIC's monthly mind, body, and soul series. Anxiety is something that affects everyone in different ways, and in this episode Sam, Fran and Natasha go deep and explain some of the ways anxiety has been a factor through career, relationships, and everyday living. The girls note how it has been specifically hard and anxiety-inducing to be patient and move on to the next chapter of their lives, which has been something that a lot of people have been dealing with during this last year of COVID. Natasha touches upon strategies for growth and healing such as how to honour yourself especially during your low days, and also talks about how to deal with feeling pressured by external forces/validation to act in ways that don't truly align with who you are as a person. This is a safe space as always... so sit back, relax, relate, and tune in with us while Sam & Fran keep it real with you. 

Thank you so much to our beautiful (inside and out) guest! Natasha offers 1:1 virtual coaching plus workshops.. be sure to follow her on Instagram to get the full scoop: @myanxietycoach.

Hola amigos...This week the girls based their discussion on their most recent binge... Sex Life on Netflix. They talk the romanticization of cheating on your spouse, like... if you're constantly dreaming about sex with another man/woman, why are you even with your current partner? Fran also asks the question of: Is it possible for one person to satisfy ALL your wants and needs n a relationship? Which leads Sam to bring about the discussion of when to draw the line when it comes to making a 'change' for your partner? Is it possible to change our behaviours for the success of the relationship without actually changing ourselves as a person? Soooooo many questions and luckily for you, a whole episode of KIC to ponder on them! Tune in!

Welcome back! This week Sam & Fran get a little heated about their opinions on active listening skills; Sam just can't come to terms with Fran's idea of 'active listening' is! They also debate whether the Netflix hit 'Too Hot to Handle' is scripted or not. Can these people really not go 24 hours without physically touching each other with $100,000.00 at stake!? But most importantly, the girls get into a discussion about cancelling Canada Day. The recent discoveries of hundreds of young children's graves at residential schools have brought Canada's crimes to an international scale and have faced Canadians with the question, should Canada Day be cancelled? Ultimatley, the girls agree that Indigenous voices NEED to be heard, their platforms need to be lifted so that we can all hear their stories & hear what they have to say! KIC will be waiving an orange flag this year.

Another week, another episode of KIC; you know how it goes! This week the girls discuss their festivities following Italy advancing to the next round of the Euro cup… which included getting offered some shots by a rowdy group at the bar! How many times does a guy have to ask you to have a drink until it gets slightly uncomfortable? The girls also discuss how drinking has become a different experience compared to their ‘younger’ years. Remember when you’re older cousins or friends, who weren’t reallllly that much older than you, used to tell you they can’t drink like they ‘used to’? Well, after some recent bad experiences, the girls explain their perspective on this. Side note… why do so many East Coast American-Italians pronounce Italian words without the last, most important, syllable? Its ‘mozzarella’ not ‘mozzarell’!!! Tune in for these discussions and more!

After a week of birthday celebrations, Sam and Fran are back with another episode. In honor of Fran turning 22, and Sam being in her 20s for a decent amount of time now, the girls have put together a few major lessons that they’ve learned, and are still learning while being a young adult. They talk about discovering your drinking limit, (why drink to get blackout drunk?), how quitting doesn’t always make you a quitter, and why it’s okay to be vulnerable with people. (not everything has to be taken so seriously!!)  Whoever said you’re going to be married with kids with a stable job and a house by the time your 35 is lying, and we’d like to have a chat with them.  The girls get into certain situations in which they’ve “autopiloted” through life and essentially,  why it’s OK to not have your life figured out in your 20’s.

Welcome back KIC listeners... on this episode the girls play the classic 'Truth or Drink'. Sam & Fran are pretty comfortable being truthful with each other so it is safe to say that they spilled a lot of secrets! You'll have to tune into this weeks episode to get to know these girls a little bit more. Maybe even play along and make yourself your fav cocktail for some R&R while listening to this weeks episode.

The big 40. Welcome to episode 40! This week sure is a mouth full for Sam & Fran. The KIC listeners sent in their opinions on why they think women's sports aren't as popular, well recognized, and why women have been under-represented in this career field! First things first, the girls give their opinions as to why this is the case.... from gender norms, to mass media, and deeply embedded perceptions of what females should be 'doing' with your life.... they really dive deep into this conversation with no filter! Overall, the KIC podcast wants to normalize these conversations and push the boundaries for what women can and WILL achieve going forward. 

Be sure to listen all the way to the end, this sure is a good one.
