Saturday Jun 20, 2026
Saturday Jun 20, 2026
Kim asked Kalyn to come back to discuss the Netflix documentary called Maternal Instincts. Kim wanted to do this because after the last podcast episode went live they both received several messages encouraging them to watch the documentary. They did just that and now they come back together to discuss! If you haven't watched the documentary, just be aware this whole episode is full of spoilers!

Saturday Jun 13, 2026
Saturday Jun 13, 2026
Back in February Kim got herself into some internet controversy due to her anonymous(or so she thought) comments about another local photographer. Drama ensued and Kim had to take a step back from social media. The dust has settled and now she is ready to her side of the story along with why she felt compelled to say what she said. Buckle up Dependas! This one is all over the place!
Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of miscarriage and rape. The conversation centers on someone we’ve observed posting in ways that felt attention-seeking to us; we’re not trying to diminish anyone’s loss or blame survivors. This is our reflection on patterns we’ve noticed. If you need immediate help or support, please text HOME to 741741 to connect to the national Crisis hotline

Kimberly sat down with a special guest to chat about surviving and repairing her marriage after infidelity. She is super open and honest during this almost 3 hour chat. Through her TikTok account and other social media she hopes to provide a safe place for those who have or are currently struggling with similar issues. This episode is definitely a wild ride but so worth the listen!
This is a throw back episode that has been re-posted in order to remove the guests name. That is why it will sound familiar.
