The Kooks are so excited to have Tom Hittle, Sam’s not-so-little brother, on the show this week! Tom has had a year of ups and downs and offers a refreshing take on how to shift our attitudes.

After a few weeks of a hiatus while they finished up their bicycle adventure and spent some time with family, the Kooks are back! And sheesh is it a good one!

Not much to say here. The Kooks are tired as they approach the ending of their nearly 2 month long bicycle adventure from Italy to Scotland.

We all (okay, maybe most of us) have big goals and dreams, but how do we go about achieving them? This week, on episode 19, the Kooks talk about some of their big dreams and goals and how they achieve them... and sometimes don't. They tell a little about what dreams might just stay dreams and which ones they decide to take on wholeheartedly.

Fear is an instinct we all have to keep us alive, but how much of the fear we face today is truly dangerous to our lives or more mental blocks? From public speaking to darkness to drowning, we all have things that scare us (maybe a little, maybe a lot) but how do we overcome these fears? Today, most of our fears are just self doubt and worries but they aren't actually dangerous. On this episode, the Kooks talk about their fears, real and made up and they explore how they face their fears and use

The Kooks get to experience the amazing kindness of strangers on a daily basis, but one way has always stood out to them- Warmshowers! This platform is a community of people and cyclists who serve as hosts and open their homes to strangers while they are bike touring. The hosts offer, well, a warm shower, but also a safe place to sleep, maybe a hot meal, and great conversation. There's no monetary exchange, just a "pay it forward" expectation and sometimes because these people just absolutely love

In Episode 15, Sam and Arden have some special guests, her mom and sister, Maria and Sonia! The 4 of them sit down to talk about the differences between this Italy trip versus 3 years ago when things didn’t go so well. It’s a silly, rosé-sippin’, kids interrupting kind of episode, but that’s on par for the Hittle family. As with any family trips, there are many personalities and “wants” to cater to- this episode offers quite a bit of reflection and ways to consider how we want to show up to these

One of the Kooks’ favorite topics! Episode 14 turned out to be a powerful conversation all about comfort zones and while it provides great insight, it also offers clear tips on how to explore, or simply become more aware, of our fears, boundaries and complaining habits. Arden shares about his “jump right in” mentality and Sam explains how using logic, reasoning and breathing helps her to calm down in certain situations.

2025/07/02

Oooo this was a fun one! Sam and Arden have a friendly “debate” (even though they argue a lot of the same points). It’s always good to offer multiple ways to look at things, especially when it comes to culture. After spending quite a bit of time in parts of the world where the culture is ancient and rich, Sam and Arden explore what makes the culture in the US different and their experiences with both a very traditional, southern American upbringing and one from an Italian-immigrant family.

Some riveting conversation on this week's episode all about packing the Kook way for longer travels. For some (maybe most), the least fun and perhaps most frustrating part of traveling. Fortunately for Sam and Arden, they are not too concerned with being the most attractive people out on the streets🤪 Still, how do you decide what comes along and what doesn't? Did I pack too much? Do I actually need 18 pairs of underwear or 6 dresses? (Spoiler- the answer is no, you don't).Sam and Arden discuss

Wow! The Kooks dove in deep on this one. Kook Sam has been journaling almost daily for years, while Kook Arden only started a few years ago and continues to do so only on occasion. They discuss how journaling looks for each of them, why they do it, and how it contributes to their lives. Arden shares valuable insight on his opinion of why women typically journal more than men and how journaling looks different for everyone. Sam gives some advice on how to get ya started.

Sam and Arden look back on some of the best memories and worst times (but what made for funny stories). They share how three and a half months on the bike forced them to take action and also allowed them to get to where they are today. Finally, they talk about how they would do it differently if
