    Relationship Realities: Learning the Hard Way

    Wanna connect? You can text us here! What makes a relationship healthy...romantic, family, friendship, all of it? And why do so many of us end up learning the most important parts the hard way? In this episode, Sam and Colette are joined by Nic and Craig for a curious conversation that starts with a surprisingly deep warm-up (“one word that describes how you recharge”) and then dives into the real stuff: giving and receiving, speaking your needs, the vulnerability of being seen, and how our family-of-origin habits follow us into grown-up relationships like uninvited guests. Along the way, we talk about hyper-independence (and why it’s not always the flex we think it is), why “communication” is more than just talking, how change feels weird before it feels right, and why healthy relationships require a willingness to risk discomfort...and even pain...if we want real connection. There’s also some honest reflection on anger, boundaries, and what to do when someone’s “real self” includes a side you don’t know how to hold. As always, we follow The Curious Code: respect beats being right, listen up, keep an open mind, respond with curiosity, and make this a safe space for everyone—every time. Pull up a chair. This one’s tender, funny, and very human. If this sparked something for you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review or text us through the link above with the question you want us to explore next.

    Helpful Habits: Small Habits, Big Shifts

    Wanna connect? You can text us here! Looking for a habit that actually changes how you feel, think, and create? We take one community-voted question...what small habit has made a big difference...and follow it into surprising places: meditation that doesn’t feel like punishment, an accidental breakup with caffeine, acupuncture that clears the fog, and the underrated power of protecting your creative time like it’s oxygen. If you’re ready to try one shift this week—swap a cup of coffee for water, set a phone curfew, book acupuncture, sketch before breakfast, or sit with that inner light—this conversation offers practical starting points and real stories of change.  Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review with the one habit you’re committing to next. What small move will you try tomorrow? Special thanks to Rhys Lombardo and Bruce France for making this sound sooooooo good!

  3. Curious Origins: Our Curious Beginnings

    Curious Origins: Our Curious Beginnings

    Wanna connect? You can text us here! In this origin-story deep dive, we share how a small idea in New Orleans grew into the Curious Krewe: a monthly gathering where one honest question invites many voices, and respect consistently beats being right. We talk through the experiments that didn’t fit, the simple choices that did, and the unexpected momentum that followed.  Along the way, we ask bigger questions: Is curiosity a teachable skill? How does it spark empathy? What makes it contagious? We also unpack practical tools for anyone wanting to start their own Krewe, and look ahead to curious future possibilities. If this story stirs something in you, pull up a chair. Subscribe, share this episode with a curious friend, and leave a review telling us the one question you’d put on the table next. If this sparked something for you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review or text us through the link above with the question you want us to explore next.

  4. Open Opposites: Listening Across Differences

    Open Opposites: Listening Across Differences

    Wanna connect? You can text us here! What does it take to stay open when the stakes are personal and the views across the table feel miles apart? We dive into the messy, human work of understanding people we disagree with, sharing stories from healthcare, EMS, and family life where curiosity isn’t a slogan—it’s a survival skill. Our north star is simple and hard: respect beats being right. From there, we practice listening without interrupting, asking better questions, and building “brave spaces” where safety is supported but never assumed. We talk honestly about boundaries as an act of love, especially when conversations become harmful or dismissive of identity. You’ll hear how we use role clarity and purpose to steer high-stakes interactions: saving a life makes ideology feel smaller. We unpack the hidden variable that powers empathy—security. When basic needs and emotional bandwidth are low, self-preservation takes over; when they’re met, curiosity has room to breathe. That realism threads the episode: sometimes the kindest move is to disengage; sometimes it’s to lean in with a question that reveals the value beneath a viewpoint. Along the way, we trade green flags for trust—regulated nervous systems, shared urgency, the ability to laugh—and admit where we stumble. We examine anger as a transitional emotion, the pain calculus of staying open, and the challenge of being a “student of the person” when family dynamics or workplace norms complicate everything. If you’ve ever wondered how to protect your peace without closing your heart, this conversation offers language, tools, and lived examples you can use today. Special Guests (and first-time CK'ers) Rhys Lombardo and Theo Crane join in on this curious conversation.
