The Note to Herself Podcast is hosted by Krystel and Kia—2 forty somethings who’ve been friends for over a decade, and are coming home to themselves in different ways.

Kia is rebuilding her voice after years of trauma and self-silencing, while Krystel brings unapologetic clarity, humor, and perspective from a life lived loudly and on her own terms.
