Our Story | The summarized version
As with most friendships in your 20’s (in 2016), it started with internet sleuthing, a carefully drafted email, and a super-and-not-at-all-creepy lunch invite.
Kourtney was just about to leave on a month-long trip to New Zealand, while Chloe was in the beginning stages of building her community—a community that focused on well-being, storytelling, and adventure. Three things that Kourtney felt equally as enthusiastic about (which was part of why they first decided to meet).
And it was during this lunch that Chloe, nervous and sweating, asked Kourtney, also nervous and sweating, if she would want to share her adventures through Chloe’s online community platform while she was in New Zealand.
Cool! Yeah! Let’s do it!
They parted ways with awkward hugs and a tentative plan to meet again. And while Kourtney packed her bags, flew across the world, and began to document and share her experiences through Chloe’s community platform, Chloe marveled in the feeling of collaboration, already scheming up ways to continue doing more of this.
After Kourtney arrived back home, they met at a beloved breakfast spot of Kourtney’s, both admiring each other’s outfits as they hugged, sitting down to swap 3-month’s worth of stories, community, adventure, and the trying of new things.
With the initial awkwardness subsiding, they settled into the kind of friendship that changed shape as they each took on more responsibility, went through friendship breakups, pursued careers, passions, hobbies, experimental annual backpacking trips, had catch ups over coffee (at least 500+ times), a health-crisis (or five), changed their minds (at least 1000+ times), felt the closing of doors, and the opening of new ones.
Years passed, 8+ years to be exact, and every time they met for coffee at their routine spot (each running at least 15-minutes late), they cringed or laughed or marveled at past adventures, supported each other through their most recent experiment(s), and listened and shared and comforted and encouraged, nurturing the very foundation their friendship was built on.
We’re glad to have you here.

Here’s what you can expect | most of the time
As of right now, we’ll be sharing audio-episodes under one of the following categories: adventures, experiments, or friendship.
These episodes will be shared in chapters. The first chapter will be under the category of adventures, and depending on how much we have to say on the subject matter, each chapter will include anywhere from 1-6 episodes, released every other week until that chapter is completed.
Due to the nature of the subject matter being discussed, the chapters will be shared at random (basically, whenever we’ve come up with an idea we’re excited about, that also lends itself well to one of our 3-categories).
You can expect the first round of episodes to air in late 2024 or early 2025.
& we’ll be sure to make known when new chapters are in the making <3
