What happens when two ride-or-die besties, with nearly 40 years of friendship under their belts, sit down for a no-filter catch-up? You get this heart-bursting, laugh-out-loud, “I needed this” episode of The Coop.

Kit is joined by her best friend Casey “Trev” Ladd—track teammates at UNC turned lifelong partners in crime (minus the crime… well, mostly)—for a deep and hilarious dive into what makes friendship last through decades, drama, and dip gone wrong. Harper McDonald, Producer of The Coop, jumps into this inner circle—asking the juicy questions and guiding the girls through stories, lessons, and laugh-out-loud moments.

From their wildest college days to parenting, loss, life pivots, and parties gone sideways… this is the kind of soul-nourishing chat that makes you want to text your bestie right now.

In this episode:

• How Kit and Trev met (hint: it involves a daughter and dad wrestling for fun)

• The difference between being close… and showing up in life’s biggest and hardest moments

• Wild 20s stories: Mardi Gras, track team dropouts, and “Lieutenant Smoothback”

• The moment that changed their friendship forever

• Why friendships in your 50s hit different (and better.. thank you White Lotus)

• Lessons from their powerhouse moms (shoutout to Bug!)

• And the key to being that friend: laughter, honesty, and the courage to say, “I need you”

It’s one part slumber party, one part therapy session, and 100% joy.

Hit follow and share this episode with the person who’s been through it all with you—bad haircuts, big feelings, and every last French toast stick.
