Why do the ones closest to us have the ability to push our buttons the most? Whether it’s a mother or a lover, no one really takes us to that place of no return like the one(s) we care for the most.
Are you tired of being misunderstood by the people who mean the world to you?
Do you want a better way to communicate with the people you love? Same.
I’m Kia and I’ve assembled a Kickin crew of individuals I both respect and admire. We’re gathered together to talk about this game that we’re all forced to play-- Relationships.
Our lives are filled with them. Some romantic, others platonic, and then there’s those blurry situations that none of us have a name for. We want to talk about it all!
Since I don't have all the answers, I'm using this podcast to search for clarity in conversations with others. Preferably other people who are different from one another.
Especially since my track record shows that I’m not the best at maintaining bonds with other people. Little Ms. I can’t keep a man… Which is why I brought my family and friends along, some of whom are dying in the dating department like me, while others have much better luck with love.
From thotting and plotting as a single person to being in an interracial relationship... Whether happily married or co-parenting after legal separation— we have something for you. My crew consists of individuals with different cultural backgrounds, ages, and relationship statuses.
We’ll be diving into how we’ve won big and lost hard in love. No topic is off limits and all perspectives are welcomed when we Play to Win.

Our Foundation: What are bonds built on?
2 NOV 2023 · Many of us have probably heard of the term “trauma bond,” but I feel like it’s one of those buzzwords that people overuse. We don’t truly understand the depth of trauma bonds.
