“Learning About Life and Love for Valentine’s Day,” with Dr. Kyle Kosik and Dr. Danielle Torp-Kosik
Feb 11, 2026 Season 3 Episode 11
University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences

Years ago, love blossomed in the wintry wonderland of Toledo, Ohio, when Danielle Torp met fellow student Kyle Kosik.  

From there, the pair started hanging out, and it led to dating, then to becoming a couple and getting married. 

The couple now have a 2-year-old son, and they work alongside one another here in the College of Health Sciences. For our third annual Valentine’s Day special episode, we get a chance to sit down with yet another couple in athletic training — the Kosiks. We learn how they are able to spend nearly all their time with each other, as well as how they balance work and parenting, and we laugh a lot during the process.

We also congratulate Kyle on a very special recognition.   

We’re learning about life and love … on this episode of The Way Podcast.
