WhatFriendsDo: Kitchen Chats

About WhatFriendsDo: Kitchen Chats

When a major life event occurs, you call your friends and you gather in the kitchen to provide support, share stories, create nourishment, and start to get life taken care of. The Kitchen Chats podcast is all about those moments. On each episode WhatFriendsDo CEO Aimee Kandrac and a guest sit down in her kitchen to share actionable, accessible advice that can help you, your friends, and your family navigate the difficult times in life when you may not know what to do next. You'll get ideas for how to help someone in your own life who may be struggling, and we'll destigmatize asking for help when you're the one in a tough situation.
