The Blindsided Backstabbing of 2021

After quite the hiatus, I am back and armed with a newly trademarked podcast and receipts consisting of exposed emails and signed contracts to tell the full unedited story of a situation that was largely alluded to this time last year, but was never able to be fully told until today. I caught my first clinical instructor actively violating patient privacy laws for 6 years straight. She then lied to my face, blindsided me with seven "critical incidents" and threw salt in the wounds she gave me on my way out as I left her clinic and blocked her and all her employees for life. You don't want to miss this one. See you next Monday ;)

Season 1

Miami Miley

This week, I begin by wrapping up my 2021 in Miami and reveal whether or not I met the goal that I made for myself early last October of making it to Miley's New Year's Eve party. We then get an update on where I am now while subsequently learning where Jersey Shore's Snooki is now. The first My Dad the Life Coach segment kicks off with several questions from our listeners - if YOU have a question for him that you need answered, DM me on instagram @keepingupwithkennedyann or email contact@keepingupwithkennedy.org with all your inquiries. Our lesson of the week this week then emphasizes the importance of trusting your instincts when presented with a challenging decision. Cheers to 2022!
