What is a Kitchen Chat?

When something happens in life, we gather as friends, we sit in the kitchen and we figure out what's next.

When someone you care about is going through a hard time, you want to help. But what do you say? What if you do it wrong? What if you're not that kind of friend?

Kitchen Chats is a podcast about all the complicated, beautiful, awkward ways we try to support one another—especially when life gets messy.

Hosted by Aimee Kandrac, founder of WhatFriendsDo, each episode features real stories, practical wisdom, and candid conversations with people who’ve been on both sides of the equation: the ones offering help, and the ones learning to receive it.

Whether you're supporting a friend through illness, loss, new parenthood, or just one of those “everything is hard” seasons—this show will help you show up with more clarity, compassion, and confidence.

Because support doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be present.
