It’s a little bit breast milk, a little bit Hamburglar—and a whole lot of real talk.
In this hilarious and heartfelt Letters to the Coop episode, Kit and Harper get personal, reflecting on the chaos, comedy, and big-life shifts of early motherhood, career curveballs, and what it feels like to hit the big 5-0.
From on-air fails (hello, live from Hamburglar Germany) to pumping backstage, Kit shares the behind-the-scenes moments that shaped her journey—on camera and off. The duo opens up about the messy beauty of trying to do it all, the guilt that comes with new motherhood, and the freedom that comes with age and perspective.
They cover:
• Kit’s cringiest live TV moment
• Juggling babies, breastfeeding, and broadcasting
• Why turning 50 might just be the best chapter yet
• Mom guilt and letting go of perfection
• That universal feeling of needing “permission” as a new mom—to stop breastfeeding, to ask for help, to go back to work, to not do it all
• Plus: McDonald’s characters, scenes from Sex/Life, and a little shoutout to Sarah Shahi
Whether you’re a new mom, a seasoned pro, or just wondering if you’ll ever sleep again, this one will make you laugh, feel seen, and maybe even call your mom.
It’s chaos. It’s connection. It’s The Coop.
