Honey, Unfiltered
Hey! I'm Kaitlyn- but please, call me Kiki-, host of the Honey, Unfiltered Podcast. This is a space to dive in to real, pure conversation and ideas on anything in life as a young adult from health, wellness, and wholesome living, to relationships, goal-setting, expectations and failure, and so much more. No filters or added sugar in this honey jar! Guests include friends, athletes, mentors, influencers, and more for conversations you won't want to miss. At the heart of growth in self, relationships, and joy, is facing the good and the ugly of our situations and talking with others for encouragement throughout. As I am constantly learning and growing in life as a young twenty-something, I am realizing more and more every day that there is so much to learn if we stay open-minded to receiving it. So relax, tune in, and take for yourself a spoonful of this honey!
