About coucou

coucou is a podcast inspired by life in France, the things we’re taught to want, and the growing realization that there may be other ways to live. Hosted by Kimberly Wheeler, an American living in the South of France, the show blends honest conversations, personal stories, cultural observations, and all the little things the French seem to approach differently about work, motherhood, relationships, food, beauty, ambition, and daily life. Some episodes are light and playful. Others go deeper into the pressures women quietly carry, the exhaustion of trying to do everything well, and what happens when you start questioning the life you thought you were supposed to want. Hopefully all of them leave you seeing your own life a little differently. New episodes every Thursday.

Like I need to be every hour needs to be filled with something that I'm accomplishing something and that I need to be like successful, like whatever that definition of successful means. I had to let go of guilt. Like guilt was a big one for me. And I'm still you guys, this is far from like a finished product. I'm just sharing the things that I am like trying to get rid of. Phrenetic energy. Oh my gosh. I can now hear this. Even when I talk to friends, like colleagues back in the US, there's like this, I'm like literally holding my breath because they're talking so fast and they're like trying to get through things and everyone's like rushing.
