Jenny McCarthy: Bullies, Beauty & Manifesting Career Magic

The Coop with Kit

04/04/24 • 56 min

Welcome to the premiere episode of The Coop with Kit! We are kicking this podcast off with a bang as we welcome the fabulous Jenny McCarthy to The Coop.

Jenny's journey in the entertainment industry spans three decades, from her bold decision to enhance her assets (new boobs sans anesthesia!) to gracing the pages of Playboy as Miss October and stealing hearts on MTV's Singled Out. But that's just the tip of the iceberg—she's also a multi-time New York Times Best-Selling Author, actress, activist, beauty entrepreneur, and Warrior Mom.

Jenny shares her secrets for manifesting success and invites us into her world of love, joy, and endless opportunities. And how she survived getting her hair caught on fire by bullies in high school, getting her bush fluffed as a Playmate centerfold, and navigating around near brushes with death.

Get ready to laugh, learn, gasp, and maybe even drop a few "damn”s—because when it comes to being the bomb, Jenny McCarthy is truly in a league of her own.

Holly Robinson Peete: Hollywood Kiss & Tells, Fierce Advocacy & A Sexy Renewal

The Coop with Kit

07/10/24 • 58 min

That's right... Holly Robinson Peete in The Coop today! This fiercely talented woman has showcased her acting chops for 40 years in iconic roles for "21 Jump Street," "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper," and “The Talk" to name just a few.
Holly shares the struggles she and Rodney faced upon their son's autism diagnosis, the glorious outcome of her mama bear gangster mom ways, and the tools she's sharing with thousands navigating the autistic journey.
This girl spills the tea on her smoking hot four decades in Hollywood (including the boys she kissed along the way) and how to get some of the sexual healing back in marriage (it involves a chair). She even sings flawlessly in French for us (!!). With a tell-all book in the works, grown-up kids, and a newfound appreciation for her man, Holly is both settled and appropriately, magically unsettled.

Tracy Anderson: Fitness Renegade, Checklist Liberator & Marriage Proposal Magnet

The Coop with Kit

09/04/24 • 61 min

Tracy Anderson is bringing balance to The Coop today. For over 25 years, this fitness pioneer and innovator has been transforming the health and wellness landscape with the Tracy Anderson Method, helping her followers reconnect with their bodies—and yes, even enhancing their sex lives along the way.

Her holistic approach to health and listening to our bodies, not societal pressures, gives us chickens a much-needed perspective.

Even more fascinating than her approach to fitness is the woman behind it all. We go deep on her conscious parenting philosophy, her journey through overcoming toxic relationships, and the incredible story of her nine marriage proposals, culminating in her unexpected path to finding love again.

Tracy Anderson begs us to chuck aside those checklists and discover that true strength comes from embracing every part of our journey—loving ourselves, appreciating the bodies we've been given, and finding liberation in aging.

Cindy Crawford: Shaping Culture, Adult Kids & The Next Chapter

The Coop with Kit

06/12/24 • 54 min

When you hear the name, Cindy, there is only one iconic face that comes to mind. Of course, we are talking about Cindy Crawford. And this legend is hunkered in the Coop with us today.

We dry-brush off the layers to reveal coveted beauty tips and, most profoundly, the past that made Cindy who she is. Balancing beauty and valedictorian status, shaping fame and culture, maintaining life-long friendships, dealing with unspeakable loss, and staying connected to her Midwestern roots... Cindy’s drive and authenticity are mesmerizing.

Cut to today, when Cindy, who is just like us(!), is an empty nester in the middle of rediscovering her life with her husband, Randy, and figuring out what her back 9 looks like. We discuss parenting kids in their 20s, aging gratefully, and the benefits of being friends with George Clooney (there are many).

She’s real. She’s honest. She’s a legend. She’s Cindy Crawford.
