For The Girl

Kenz in the Hotseat: Chronic Illness, Baby Names, Rhythms for Couples, and is She Moving?!


Listen Later

This episode is packed with all the things we love—big laughs, deep convos, and a whole lot of real talk. Mac turns the mic on her bestie and co-host, Kenz, and nothing’s off-limits. They dive into marriage rhythms, product hacks, and Kenz' ongoing journey with chronic illness. From the cutest story about their quarterly marriage retreats to a raw update on how illness has impacted her faith, Kenz keeps it hilariously honest and super encouraging. And yes, baby Chip (or Baker?) makes an appearance in the convo too. Whether you’re a newlywed, navigating chronic health stuff, or just here for the friendship vibes—we know you’ll enjoy this one.
