Traffic Jam with Kam
Kamryn Stratton
Traffic Jam is the podcast you can listen to when you need a laugh, a friend, and the reassurance that you aren’t the only one that feels like driving in DC is like driving in Mario Kart. Kamryn--a recent college grad and the newest resident of the nation’s capital--is here to share her genius ideas, unpopular opinions, and hilarious stories. Being authentic and sharing real things about herself that listeners can relate to is the reason Kamryn started this podcast. Listen every week for advice on how to navigate the “traffic jams of life” and be reminded that you’re not the only one. 
Navigating Change in Life (with Adam!)
In this episode with Adam, we talk about the changes that have happened in our lives throughout many different seasons. As we get older, it can be hard to let go of things that are comfortable, and Adam shared some really great advice about navigating that. Thank you for being supportive of me in creating this podcast! It has been such an awesome project. (ps. one of our traffic jams this week involves a lady with a shopping cart on the bus and missing the metro... enjoy)xoxo,Kam

Dancing Queen
Hi friends! One of my reasons for starting this podcast was to create a personal journal, so this episode is one I recorded to document my dance life up to this point in my life. Dance was my first passion, and still is one of the many things I love most in life. Dancing makes me less stressed, puts a smile on my face, and makes me feel most like myself. In this episode you'll hear about how I discovered dance was for me, how I was trained, how I keep dancing, and life lessons I've learned from the sport. Enjoy!xoxo,KamInstagram: @trafficjampodcast

Moving Forward to the Next Version of You
Through this really tough season of life, I have learned that seeing change in myself doesn't have to be a scary thing. It is okay to look back and see different versions of yourself and how you've grown! In this episode, we talk about what moving forward to new seasons looks like, learning to be okay with change, and that you aren't the only one reminiscing what life used to look like. Look forward with faith! Good things are coming! xoxo, KamInstagram: @trafficjampodcast

Be Kind... and Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously!
Today's episode is a combination of life updates, talking about being friendly, and trying to have more fun. In life, it is easy to forget the good things that are happening around you. To remember, smile at someone you pass on the sidewalk, put an extra cart away, or give the guy selling water bottles an extra dollar. And don't wait too long to sing out loud in your car!Instagram: @trafficjampodcast
