Kiki and Amy look back over the four seasons of Tales from a Bucket List Champ.
Kiki goes to the Rio Olympics and pulls back the curtains on what's going on behind the scenes.
During her work with USA Wrestling, Kiki led a very full life of travel. This meant that when she was home, she had a very full life of tending to everything else.
Kiki's job as Team Leader for USA Greco Roman Wrestling had her traveling all over the world. Here's what she was doing.
Kiki gets her own private tour of Iran and returns to notoriety in Washington D.C.
American women don't normally go to Iran, and in 2014, women didn't go into Iranian sports arenas. As team leader for USA Greco Roman wrestling, Kiki did both. Listen as she recounts the story of one of the best weeks of her life.
From Kiki: Women's Senior's Freestyle Wrestling is somewhat difficult to talk about to a general (read: non-wrestling fan) audience because of the complex structure of the pool of wrestlers, which comes from high school, college, and clubs. One
I can't believe it was 2020 when we last put out an episode..... so much has happened since then, some really really challenging experiences that continue to test the soul's mettle. It's not the prettiest content (we got our groove back, thankf
From Amy: This is for everyone who has had to move on after a marriage. There is a visceral conflict—what's the "right" thing to do, and what will make you happy again? Kiki addresses this head-on, reclaiming hope.
From Amy:Last episode was emotionally intense, as Kiki relives the events leading up to the death of her marriage. This one, by comparison, is resolute. What's done is done, what's coming will come, but just for now Kiki shares with candor and

We're at the halfway point for this season. If this podcast speaks to you, please let us know how. We may add your comments here.
From Amy:There's something funny about Season 3, It's Complicated. People who listened to the first episode have noted how upbeat it is. And that's true. As I wrote in the previous episode notes, Kiki asked me to take the lead on releasing thes
About this season: It's ComplicatedFrom Amy: Ever since Kiki and I first envisioned this podcast, this was the season that felt the most tender, its energy palpable from the start. Yes, the first season detailed a life-altering, near-death expe
Kiki was told 100% she'd never be a mother. Join in her journey from the strangest dream to miscarriage to viable pregnancy. But what about her career?
Kiki promised to tell us how she met her Jungian analyst and became a multimedia artist. Today she delivers in this short but impactful episode. This stuff runs deep, and right now, humanity could use deep healing.
If you've listened a while, you'll notice Kiki's been present in more than a few defining moments, crossing paths with multiple notable people, even though she's never sought fame. It's almost hard to believe, but it's true. It's also been a LO
In this episode we discuss coping mechanisms like the Arts and therapy, and reference Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's Five Stages of Grief. David Kessler is her former collaborator who, with the permission of her family, added a sixth stage. Read more
This is the true story of how Christina (Kiki) Kelley became Google’s first official editor. It took 14 interviews to land the job, so perhaps it’s reasonable that it took us 3 recording attempts to land this episode. Thanks, Coronavirus. If yo
What people are saying:"Wow. You guys make every episode thoroughly absorbing, whether the story line is being a string of dramatic horrors or, like here (and high time too!), it's pretty much all upbeat. I think this may be because your main c
Reviews from Season 1: "What Grit Sounds Like — The old saying goes, 'history is written by the winners.' It's true. But sometimes survivors and over-comers share their stories too. Here is a series, not just one memory, knitted through the lif
Note from Kiki: The Kid, as we decided to call him—a bit of an anti-hero—not only made it to 22 without injury or prison, he's now 40 years old with a beautiful wife and family. It's my honor to still be in touch with this inspiring young man w
What people are saying:“It has been so interesting listening to these. Looking forward to the next!... Inspiring.” — Alexandra F.“The Holocaust will be a shame for all of humanity always, and we must learn many things from this awful event, but
Note from Kiki: My memory did not do justice to the '93 Corps TFA teachers (the corps I was supposed to be in instead of the '94 Corps): I'm happy to say I'm FB friends with at least two TFA teachers (who also completed 2-3 yrs, one even being
Note from Kiki: Even now, that year made me tired, and you can hear it. You can even hear my dog snoring! But know that this episode is about the tunnel btw overwhelming grief & finding your way back to Life. My hope is that it speaks to your d
