S2/04: Making Decisions

Episode 4 of Season 2 dives into how we make certain decisions and what helps us to see or feel if what decision was best for us. Sam and Arden share a little about the recent decisions they have made, and also talk about how some decisions we make really impact the people around us. Kooky Community makes its first debut 😂 If you could ask just 3 questions about a decision to your friend, partner, parent or stranger, what would you ask? Thanks for being here and happy Friday! Sam’s questions for Arden: 1. What is one really great decision you’ve made and one not so great decision? 2. How do you know when you’ve made the right decision? 3. How do you reevaluate or revisit the decisions you’ve made? Arden’s questions for Sam: 1. What is your guide when making tougher decisions? Where does that come from? 2. When do you find it hardest to make decisions? 3. When making decisions for us or your partner is there anything you think about?

S2/03: Learning New Things

This is a great conversation for anyone at any stage of life! Sam and Arden discuss what they’re currently learning, but this episode is about so much more than that. They gave insight into why we all may not ever take or seek opportunities to learn and grow, as well as what learning new things actually does for all of us. Maybe it’s drumming, how to be a better public speaker, or learning how to watercolor paint, we’re hoping you all find the courage to start learning something new this week! Arden's questions for Sam: 1. What is something you are learning now that is exciting you? 2. In your own words, why is it important to always be learning something? 3. What is something you have always wanted to learn but haven't? What is holding you back? Sam’s questions for Arden: 1. What is something new you’re currently learning? 2. Why do you think it’s important to continue learning? 3. What’s something new you want to learn this year!?

S2/02: Going “Home”

Episode 2 of Season 2 is all about going “home” and specifically balancing those tricky transitions. Arden shares a little about his personal endeavors with pursuing his Real Estate license, and how allowing himself to have 24 hours to “mourn”, be upset with or annoyed by something has cleared up more space in his body and mind. Sam offers gratitude for life’s simple pleasures like slippers, hot showers and a bed. They both agree that it’s an unbelievable gift to feel so welcomed and loved when returning home. We hope you enjoy!

Season 2- We Back, Baby!

After falling off the planet for over 2 months while they made the transition back to the US, the Kooks are back for Season 2! In this episode, Sam and Arden talk about their final days of the adventure and what it has been like getting back to reality. They share some intentions and ideas for this season, along with their chosen words for 2026. It may not be riding on a scooter through Bangkok, but they hope to bring some magic, relatability and deeper conversation into this new year. Thanks for sticking with us!

28: Holiday Traditions

Episode 28 is being shared on Thanksgiving, and despite the Kooks still being in Chile and not able to celebrate this year, they thought they’d talk about the holiday season! They both give a little insight into their favorite moments as kids and how traditions have changed over the years. Sam talks about Christmas Eve games they used to play and awkward caroling in the neighborhood while Arden gets a little emotional thinking about the holidays with his grandmothers. Of course there can be difficulties surrounding the holidays like pressure, money and staying present but the Kooks are excited to be *almost* home for the holidays this year! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Sam’s questions for Arden: 1. How are your holiday traditions now different from when you were a kid? 2. What is something about the holidays that bothers you? 3. This holiday season, what’s one thing you’re focusing on/prioritizing? Arden's questions for Sam: 1. Do you have a favorite holiday tradition? What is it? 2. If you could change one thing about your holidays what would it be? 3. What do you find to be the most challenging part of the holidays?
