Stuff My Sister Says
Kritzia & Kiana
A podcast where two sisters banter over a variety of topics and talk to interesting people in our lives who are striving in their own ways to create a path for themselves. We weren’t always close, given that we are 5 years apart, but our relationship has deepened over the years. Our best talks have always been either around the dinner table or during long car rides. We want to replicate these conversations and have an open dialogue about topics that we feel as though aren’t talked about enough.
Are You Broke? Or is Social Media Lying to You?
Welcome back to stuff my sister says! In this episode, we question how is everyone affording to go overseas and also fully fill up their gas tank! Is social media lying to us? We compare different social media to see what people are posting vs. what they’re saying. We also take a look at how Kiana, being an influencer herself, feels about constantly promoting products while also being a part of the consumer culture as well. Before all of that, we start the episode with a brief catch-up and talk about stuff on our minds, where we talk about everyone getting skinny again and question why everyone and their mother is coming out with a product line!

Self-Discipline
Welcome back to stuff my sister says! For the final show of the year, we are talking all about self-discipline! We share how we view self-discipline and how we are working on improving and maintaining it well into 2022. Before that, we talk about stuff on our mind where we dive into the show Cheaters with its new host Peter “Gunz” Panky, and the irony of it all.

Astroworld
Welcome back to stuff my sister says! This week we had a different episode planned, but like the rest of the country, we were shocked about what happened in Houston this past weekend at Astroworld. First, our hearts are with the families during this difficult time. To start the episode Kiana and I talk about the events that occurred briefly and then take a deeper look at different reasons why this tragedy happened. We talk about celebrity culture, social media and how rapidly we consume content, violence in our society, and American individualism. We also reflect on our past experiences going to different concerts and festivals and really look into Travis’ fanbase and what he is able to incite within them. We look at the pandemic and see if being cooped up in our homes for almost two years added another layer to this all occurring.

Apple, Stop Telling Me to Put My Phone Down
Welcome back to stuff my sister says! We are back this week with a new episode. This week we wanted to talk about a term that’s new to me and maybe new to you, and it’s called digital minimalism. We explain our own interpretations of digital minimalism and how we incorporate it into our lives when it comes to consuming and producing content. Kiana talks a bit about how she produces content and how the organization is key, while Kritzia navigates the beginning stages of being a content creator. We also ask you guys to question your “why”, why do you use your apps, and make you think if it is really beneficial to use your phone the way you do. Before that, we talk about stuff on our minds which includes how we feel about Drake’s new album Certified Lover Boy and if every celebrity needs to have a skin care line.
