OBSESSED WITH
Welcome to the Obsessed With… Podcast!
We’re Kim & Erran—partners in life, adventure, and business. We’ve been together since 2007, married in 2010, and living life our way ever since.
On this podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain with fun, juicy, and honest conversations about all the life things you’re probably figuring out too like—
- Adding more travel & adventure into your life
- Navigating big transitions, relationships, and marriage
- Trying to figure out if kids fit into the picture—especially when you're in your 40s like us—its such a HUGE decision
- Unapologetically Create a life of freedom on your OWN TERMS.
And how to juggle all the things without losing our minds.
This podcast is your official permission slip to unapologetically do life your way, change your mind a million times, and know you’re not alone in figuring it all out.
Our goal is to create a fun, zero-judgment, happy-hour-style space where we can all hang out, have real conversations, and navigate life together.
So grab a drink, get comfy, and let the OBSESSION BEGIN!
