Introduction

In this vibrant episode of CHEERS! with Avery Woods, host Avery Woods welcomes New York City's beloved influencer and daughter of renowned fashion designer Cynthia Rowley, Kit Keenan. The episode delves into Kit's journey from her early days on "The Bachelor" to her flourishing career in social media, her personal life, and her deep-rooted connections in New York City.

Meeting Kit Keenan

Avery begins by reminiscing about meeting Kit in the Hamptons in 2023, highlighting Kit's vibrant personality and her famous lobster salad recipe. Avery shares a fond memory, saying:

“I think my first memory of you was when you made the lobster salad. Oh, my God.”
—Avery Woods [05:12]

Kit's Background and Social Media Evolution

Kit opens up about her life in New York City, her early ventures into social media during high school, and her brief stint at USC's competitive film school in Los Angeles. She reflects on the stark cultural differences between the East and West Coasts:

“When I got to LA, I saw this other side of things that was kind of scary and competitive.”
—Kit Keenan [07:08]

After realizing that the LA influencer scene wasn't her fit, Kit transferred back to NYU in New York, where she found a supportive community within the burgeoning TikTok generation and further expanded her online presence.

Experience on The Bachelor

Kit discusses her time on "The Bachelor," specifically her experience with Matt James, and contrasts the glamorized nature of reality TV relationships with real-life dating dynamics in New York City:

“Being filmed 24/7 doesn't reflect how real relationships function.”
—Kit Keenan [10:19]

She emphasizes the uniqueness of her experience, noting that unlike the relationships portrayed on TV, her real-life dating stories in New York have been more genuine and varied.

Navigating Long-Distance Relationships

A significant portion of the conversation centers around Kit's current long-distance relationship with her British boyfriend, Sam. She shares the challenges of visa processes, time differences, and the emotional toll of frequent separations:

“Each time he has to go back to London, it becomes harder because I'm more in love and obsessed with our routine.”
—Kit Keenan [21:22]

Avery relates by sharing her own experience with long-distance during nursing school, highlighting the emotional resilience required to maintain such relationships.

Balancing Social Media and Personal Life

Kit elaborates on the complexities of sharing her relationship on social media, especially balancing public presence with her boyfriend's desire for privacy. She discusses the pressure influencers face when their personal lives become content:

“People want advice and insights into your relationship, but it's hard to share the inner workings without overexposing.”
—Kit Keenan [12:48]

Avery adds her perspective on the pitfalls of social media authenticity versus the benefits of maintaining private relationships.

Cooking as a Creative Outlet

A standout segment delves into Kit's passion for cooking, influenced by her mother's creative legacy in fashion design. Cooking serves as both a personal joy and a significant aspect of her online persona:

“Cooking is one of the only creative outlets I've found where I'm not on my phone, working with my hands and creating something.”
—Kit Keenan [27:09]

Avery echoes this sentiment, describing cooking as her form of therapy and a way to nurture her family.

Fashion Philosophies and Influencer Community

The conversation transitions to fashion, with Kit sharing her minimalist wardrobe staples inspired by her mother's influence. She discusses the supportive nature of the New York influencer community, contrasting it with the more competitive scenes in Los Angeles:

“In New York, when one of us excels, everyone wins. It's a supportive community that cheers each other on.”
—Kit Keenan [52:40]

Avery praises the camaraderie among New York influencers, emphasizing the importance of positive relationships in brand collaborations and community growth.

Personal Growth and Future Endeavors

Kit candidly talks about her recent decision to undergo a breast augmentation procedure, aiming for a natural look that complements her frame. She expresses excitement about future projects, particularly collaborations in the food and cooking space:

“I'm manifesting more collaborations in the food and cooking space and have a project coming to life that I've been working on for two years.”
—Kit Keenan [57:34]

Avery congratulates Kit, expressing enthusiasm for her upcoming ventures.

Closing Thoughts

Wrapping up the episode, Avery and Kit share personal anecdotes and affirm their deep friendship. Kit encourages listeners to follow her journey on TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, while Avery extends an open invitation for Kit to visit her home in LA once construction is complete.

We are in New York City today at the Unwell Studios and I'm so excited for today's episode because we are sitting down and talking with my friend Kit Keenan. You probably first got to know Kit on the Bachelor, but she is known for super so much more than that. She loves cooking, she loves sharing her life, her fashion, her life in New York City. And she is the daughter of the iconic fashion designer Cynthia Rowley. So fashion is in her DNA. I first met Kit in 2023 in the Hamptons over the summer and she was such a joy. She taught me how to make her famous lobster salad. So I knew this would be such a fun episode. So Kit, welcome to Cheers. Hi, welcome to Cheers. I'm your host, Avery Wood. I have the queen of New York here.

[Kit Keenan]

Hello. I'm so honored to be here.

[Avery Woods]

No, thank you for being here. I'm so grateful. We met in the Hamptons in 2023. So we're coming up on two years since we met, which is kind of Crazy.

[Kit Keenan]

I feel like we were both babies.

[Avery Woods]

We were both babies.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

And I was like so new to the industry and I was just looking around at everyone. In awe of them.

[Kit Keenan]

No, but I was also in awe of you because I remember you being like, oh yeah. So I had four kids by the time I was 26 and I was like, oh my gosh. Like I feel like growing up in New York you just don't hear that many stories like yours. And I feel like I was just asking you all the questions about like your life, like starting a family so young and all of that. Like my mom had me when she was 40 and my sister when she was 45. Like, and that is a lot of the families that I grew up around. So I just was like, how'd you do? Like, how did you do this?

[Avery Woods]

There is a huge difference between west coast and east coast. And I will say, I guess in like the Arizona, Utah area, it's so common because a lot of people are lds, they're Mormon, so they get married and have kids very young. I knew I wanted to have kids really young. But I also like finished nursing school and was ready.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

But I also feel like it needs to be normalized like what your mom did. Cuz there's nothing wrong with having kids late. Like I hate when you're over the age of 35 and they say you're advanced maternal age. I think that's crazy. Oh my God. Because for me, like I didn't feel ready to have kids and now that I'm more established and I feel like.

[Kit Keenan]

You never feel ready.

[Avery Woods]

Never. There's never a perfect time to have kids. But it's also totally okay to wait.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

And what I loved when I met you was I knew nothing about you. I didn't know who your mom was, like how you grew up, where you came from. And I think that really speaks on like how your humility and like how you carry yourself and just how humble and graceful you are.

[Kit Keenan]

I just like, I feel like, thank you so much. But also my thing is like, because I grew up so open minded in New York City, I feel like I just want to know about everyone. Like, I want to ask questions. I'm just curious. Curious about like how people live their lives. And I think meeting you I was like, wow, there's. This is a whole other like, way of raising a family, starting early, like, and I just wanted to know about your world and how you got to where you are. Because also like hearing about your life as a nurse and all of That I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, you have been through so much, and you figured, like, you didn't know that you were gonna be success, like, super successful on social media or whatever, but you were like, I wanna have kids. I'm gonna raise a family super young and work a full time job. And then suddenly, like, this whole other opportunity opened up for you, and it's just, you have such an amazing story. So I was like, I just need to ask every question. Thanks.

[Avery Woods]

You're so sweet. I think my first memory of you was when you made the lobster salad. Oh, my God.

[Kit Keenan]

So we went to Dirtier.

[Avery Woods]

That's what it's called. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

Literally, like, I always say, that salad is on my death row menu, which is, like, my number one question that I ask on first dates, because I feel like it says so much about a person. But I remember on this influencer trip, we went to Duries, and it's in Montauk, like, right on the water, super beautiful. And there's this lobster salad that's famously $100. And it's. It's honestly a huge salad.

[Avery Woods]

It's. It like, feeds a table.

[Kit Keenan]

It's not to rationalize a $100 salad, but it is a really big salad.

[Avery Woods]

It is. Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

And I remember just, like, doing a tutorial, like, how I mix it. Like, I'm very serious about this salad.

[Avery Woods]

Oh. She was like, no one's eating this salad until I show you how to dress it. So all of the influencers, like, have their phones, and I. I think I still have that video of you. I'll find it somewhere where you're, like, making the salad, putting the lemon on it. That salad, so good.

[Kit Keenan]

It's so good. But I just, like, love asking people that question because I feel like I've heard so many people always go back to, like, the food that they grew up eating. I feel like a lot of it is, like, my mom's cornbread or, like, something like that. Yours is lobster, but mine is like, yeah, lobster salad from duries.

[Avery Woods]

I'm so dead. Okay, so you're off. You're born and raised in New York City? Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

Yes. I was born in Tribeca, but raised in the West Village.

[Avery Woods]

And when did you first come up on social media? When were you, like, this is a job for me now?

[Kit Keenan]

I mean, I, like, started sharing, like, my outfits and some, like, cooking content when I was in high school, and then I moved to la. I was at USC for, like, a year and a half.

[Avery Woods]

I didn't know you Went to usc.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Okay. Can I just say that is a huge accomplishment to get in USC alone, because, I mean, we have close family friends and their daughters at usc. Girl, it is so competitive now to get. I feel like it's crazy.

[Kit Keenan]

Way worse now than it was when I was applying to college, though.

[Avery Woods]

But I mean, like, you should still be proud. Like, USC is a huge accomplishment.

[Kit Keenan]

I. I also, I was at the film school because in high school I was, like, obsessed with filmmaking.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

And submitted, like, a bunch of my short films to film festivals all over New York, like high school film festivals, and then applied to film school, got to usc. And again, throughout this whole time, I was just, like, sharing my life on social media. And when I got to L. A, I was like, in this friend group that was just all, like, really hot, like, Instagram girls, like, models and. And Instagram girls. And I remember that kind of, like, it was a different view of social media that I was like, oh, this is, like, kind of scary competitive. Because the only thing that I was used to was, like, the blogger girls from New York, which is like, we wore what? Something navy, like, totally. Those sort of OG girls. And I was always like, the generation below them, age wise. And I was kind of like, I never fit into that culture. And then when I got to LA and I, like, saw this other side of things, I was like, I don't think I really fit in here either, because it was all. It was like, you know, Kaia Gerber and, like, Madison Beer and those girls. And I was like, oh, my God, Like, I can't compete here. I'm scared to all of L. A.

[Avery Woods]

You look around and you're like, how is. Like, what's the water people are drinking? No.

[Kit Keenan]

Like, everyone is beyond gorgeous. So I was just like, huh? Like, I don't know if this is my realm either. And I ended up moving back to New York, transferring to nyu, and when I got back to New York, there was, like, this whole other world of influencers, which was like the TikTok generation, which is when I met, like, Lauren and Bridget and all of the, like, New York City girls. And that was amazing because I feel like there was this whole injection of new energy in the New York City influencer scene.

[Avery Woods]

And. And.

[Kit Keenan]

Then I went on the Bachelor, which is a whole other chapter, and also, like, open up my social media to a whole new audience.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

Because it was kind of before it was like, all New York and L. A basically was my audience. And then the Bachelor, like, opened me up to a whole other Group of people that's more like all over the U.S. yeah. And that was also really fun. And then since then, I've just been like, growing my channels, sharing food, fashion, my life.

[Avery Woods]

Who was the Bachelor when you were on Matt James.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. So like.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

There was like, then all of the recent stuff that happened with that.

[Avery Woods]

Wow.

[Kit Keenan]

But my experience, like, obviously years ago was like, so amazing. Like, I loved my experience and I met so many great girls. I had like, my experience of Matt was always, like, super friendly and amazing. And like, I honestly thought to myself, like, oh, this is a normal person that I would date in New York, you know, but, like, eventually just didn't like, it wasn't like, the right path.

[Avery Woods]

It wasn't there for you.

[Kit Keenan]

But it's interesting to see how it panned out.

[Avery Woods]

It is quite interesting. And I will say Rachel is just such an angel.

[Kit Keenan]

Angel.

[Avery Woods]

And I feel like obviously everyone has a different experience with the same person, but what went on in that situation. Relationship is not reflective of, you know, your experience with.

[Kit Keenan]

But also like, it's not really a real relationship on, like, when you're being filmed 247 and you only have like, hours here and there to hang out with the person. Like, her experience in their relationship after the show has, like, nothing to do with, like, the girls that dated him on tv, you know, that's like a totally separate thing.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. So I also feel like on the Bachelor, like, my husband and I talk about this, how. How hard it would be from going from that TV show to real life because it's so glamorized. It's like a helicopter ride, all inclusive vacation. Like, no one's paying for anything. They're just kind of like going and doing whatever in La La land. And then they probably get to the real world. They're like, I have to, like, have a job. You know.

[Kit Keenan]

What's like, funny about that is like, that's kind of what it's like dating in New York then.

[Avery Woods]

Really?

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. I feel like I've had crazier experiences dating in New York than I.

[Avery Woods]

Wait.

[Kit Keenan]

Did on the show 100 wait here. I. I don't know, I just feel like I. And I always say, like, before I met my current boyfriend, I feel like I. I never had a serious relationship. And I just, like, experience, like, was open to dating a variety of different types of people and like, different ways of meeting people and whatever. And I feel like I had such fun, like, dating stories. Always had, like, generally good experiences.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

And just didn't find my person until this past year and, you know, you've.

[Avery Woods]

Kind of, like, shared dating stories and experiences online. Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. I feel like I was for a little bit, but I feel like I was actually just talking to a friend of mine about this. I feel like it's hard when you really. When you're single and you're really sharing a lot of, like, your dating life online, because I think it's hard for then when you do get into a relationship for your audience who has been watching you, like, go through that story and might be in the same boat, and then they're like, wait, you. We feel like you kind of, like, left us now and, like, now you're in this happy relationship, but, like, what about us? Like, we want, like, the advice and the, you know, the insight into your relationship now and how you got there and whatever. But, like, people don't necessarily want to blast their, like, relationship online or, like, the inner workings of it or whatever. And so I feel like for me, I. I'm not, like, my relationship now. I. I love sharing things here and there, but, like, my boyfriend isn't a public person. Yeah. So I feel like I've had to find the balance with that. And I've had friends that are like, I will never post my boyfriend online, like, ever. Like, I'll never post him. And I have friends that are, like, they're in videos, like, their partners in videos with them, like, talking to the camera, whatever. And I just think it's like, to each their own, you know?

[Avery Woods]

Totally. It's your choice.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

I also. My. My example would be Ken Yurich and what happened with the Hinge date about how she matched with this guy on Hinge.

[Kit Keenan]

Was it the cowboy hat guy?

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. And he, like, made an entire video. They hadn't even met up. They had, like, exchanged just a few messages. And he, like, started posting OOTDs and stuff. Like, he wanted to make it on Tick Tock. And so he, like, gave away her identity without fully giving it away. But she was like, she was showing me. She's like. Because she was in the podcast, like, they had exchanged, like, a few messages before they even met up, and he, like, already made an entire video trying to monetize off her name. So it's also really hard, too, when you're trying to date and you, like, obviously have a platform and they know that you make money. Yeah. That can get very sticky, I feel like.

[Kit Keenan]

Yes. I feel like in. Maybe it's also just, like, the New York, like, guy, but I do think that most guys in New York are like when I talk to influencer friends that are single and dating, I feel like the thing is that guys don't really want to be shared as much. Like guys are more like, especially like a finance bro type or like that sort of like New York guy. They have their corporate does not want to be online at all.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

So I feel like it's mo. It's more. More the opposite. But like, I've definitely dated people who like make tiktoks and like.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. My husband has no social media and it's the greatest thing. Yeah. He's like, I don't there. It's hard when they the men try to like be in the spotlight.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

When you like built an entire platform.

[Kit Keenan]

On your own, watching a man like make a tick tock or like make an outfit video, I'm like so scared.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. It's. They like do the foot pop. They're like, check it out. Ootd they do the hashtag summer is here. More sun, more light, more time to do all the things that make summer so special.

[Kit Keenan]

Flashbacks right now to like two guys that I dated that are both like online people. And I just like, remember. No, I was so down bad that I was literally filming a lip syncing video. And like, I just like, I feel so sorry for myself at that time because, like, I would just never do that now. And like, I know that's just. I'm so happy in my relationship now. Like, the fact that he does not do any of that is just. Wow.

[Avery Woods]

The best. Yeah. How long have you guys been together?

[Kit Keenan]

We've been together for 11 months.

[Avery Woods]

Oh my gosh, almost a year. And you're long distance. Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. So he's British.

[Avery Woods]

That's so hot.

[Kit Keenan]

So hot. Love the accent. Love that I'm with him for much more than that, you know, but it does, it does add some brownie points. But he has been like going through the visa process for the past year of our relationship. And there's been times when he's like been here for a few months and then has to leave again. So he's been like gone for the past six weeks and I'm literally dying. Like, it's just each time that he's had to like, go back to London, I feel like in the beginning, I was like, oh, this is kind of nice, because, like, now I just get to do my thing, be with my girls, like, focus on work, focus on myself. And I guess as, like, our relationship has progressed, I just find it so much harder now because I'm, like, so much more in love with him. So much more, like, obsessed with our routine in our life in New York. So, yeah, I'm so excited for him to be here.

[Avery Woods]

Dude, that what's hard is Dave and I did long distance, and I was in nursing school for 11 months.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

And that was only from Arizona to San Diego. That's like a 50 minute flight.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

So I can't even imagine different countries. That's so difficult.

[Kit Keenan]

It's also, like, the time difference. Like, I feel like I'll be, like, getting ready to go to dinner and he's, like, calling me coming home from the club, like, or, you know, every night, like, he's saying good night to me while I'm, like, rushing to try and finish, like, work stuff at, like, that time of the day. And I just think, yeah, it's like, going through this experience. Like, I know we have, like, the whole future ahead of us, but, like, it's definitely been very eye opening.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. Do you go visit him a lot or is he New York work?

[Kit Keenan]

I mostly go visit him because these times that he's been away, it's when he can't come back into the U.S. got it. This week I'm going to London to see him, and I love London. So, yeah, I'm excited to go.

[Avery Woods]

I've never been, so you have to write me a list of things to do.

[Kit Keenan]

Oh, my God. It's like. It's the best.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, I'm scared. I'm gonna go shopping.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah, best shopping.

[Avery Woods]

Okay. So I love this. How did you meet him?

[Kit Keenan]

We met at usc, actually.

[Avery Woods]

When you went there.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

What?

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah, he came back around and he. It's like, such a funny story. He, like, claims that we went on one day in college, but, like, I don't even remember it. And we were just in, like, similar friend groups. But he was kind of in his, like, frat boy era. I feel like he was like this little English boy who moved to the US and he was like, oh, frat culture. Let me just, like, consume all of this, you know? So he was kind of in that realm, and I was not into that. Like, I tried it when I first got to usc, but I'm like, just such a city girl. And I was just like, I can't do this. It's not my vibe.

[Avery Woods]

I was gonna say USC frat versus, like, New York City could not be more.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. I was like, I want to, like, go out in West Hollywood and, like, go have, like, go to a cocktail bar or something. Like, I don't want to sit in a frat.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

So I feel like we were just, like, on different paths. And then he was in LA for a bit after school, moved back to London for a bit, and then we reconnected this past year, and I was just like, oh. Like, I always thought he was cute. And, like, I would see him. Like, my family goes to St. Bart's every Thanksgiving, and I would see him there or, like, randomly. I would, like, run into him in New York or whatever. And I always thought he was cute, but, like, one of us was dating someone at the time or whatever, and it just never worked out. And then I was like, huh. Oh, okay.

[Avery Woods]

Where have you been?

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah, where have you been?

[Avery Woods]

Wait, that's cute. I love that. One of my favorite things that you do on social media is cooking love. Have you always loved cooking?

[Kit Keenan]

I mean, to me, it's like. So my mom is a fashion designer, and she says that, like, when she. She's been sewing since she was seven years old, like. Like, would literally lay down on the floor, draw, draw like a. With a pen on the outside of her body, cut it out of fabric, and, like, make little dresses. When she was seven years old.

[Avery Woods]

Do you know what I love about that, though, is that she's so earned her keep.

[Kit Keenan]

Like.

[Avery Woods]

Like, from the beginning, she's worked so hard and, like, actually has the skill of what it takes, because I feel.

[Kit Keenan]

Like now you don't need to, which is so sad. Yeah. I mean, it is, but, like, that's just what it is. That's just what you know? But she can, like, draw and sketch and sew and, like, that sort of of era of fashion designer, which I also respect so much. But I feel like growing up my whole life, I was like, what is that for me? Like, I always. I never knew, like, what that medium was gonna be for me. That, like, creative outlet.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

And I always loved cooking. I was always, like, sharing my recipes here and there online and loved cooking for my family and friends, but I never really thought of it as, like. Like, it didn't click for me. This is my sewing. Until I was, like, in college and I moved when I was in la and I was just, like, alone and cooking for myself, but, like, didn't really have, like, that Sunday night dinner. With my family, like that sort of thing that just like brings me so much joy.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

I didn't have that. And I remember I was like, like, oh, this is, this is my thing. This is my sewing.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

And it clicked for me. And it's like, since then it's just, it's become so much more a part of my like, online Persona and my business.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

And I love that because I feel like that's such a gift of our job, is that we can make like whatever our creative outlet is or whatever our hobbies are into them, like part of our work. But it's also the type of thing that's great because it's like when I wanna unplug and not be like, on my phone or invested like in any online things, it's great because it's like one of the only creative outlets that I've found in my life where I'm like, oh, I'm not on my phone now. Like, I'm working with my hands. I'm doing something creative. I'm like bringing a dish to life. And that's such an amazing gift.

[Avery Woods]

Cooking feels like therapy to me fully. Like when I'm having a hard day or I just need to like, unwind. I love making something from scratch in the kitchen and also like feeding it to my family or hosting. Like, there's nothing that brings me more joy than like cooking for other people.

[Kit Keenan]

Oh my God, I literally cannot wait for that. Oh, it's time in my life, like when I can make my kids lunches. Like, I have literally dreamed of like making lunch boxes forever. Like, I think it's so fun. I do these like, airplane snacks videos, which are like, literally so cute. And I like pack little airplane snacks for myself. And I always think about it while I'm doing it. I'm like, oh my God, I can't wait to do this, like, for my kids lunches every day.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, and it's, it's so interesting how much they notice. Like, even when Ziggy first went into kindergarten, he was only five. And I always do. We always have like the bougie little boxes, you know, and we cut everything up and like make them cute. But that brings me joy because I remember as a kid when my mom would do stuff like that, it makes your day, right? Like, read your little note. But he'd come home and he'd be like, everyone buys school lunch. Like, I want to buy school lunch. And I said, okay, like, you can buy school lunch. Cuz he had never experienced that before. So he had school lunch one day and he comes home and he's like, yeah, I miss your lunches. Can you give me lunches? So it was really sweet, cuz they love that. But I'm like, if you want to experience enough. But I'm like, I doubt you're going to choose school lunch over mom's lunch.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

You know, but it's fun. Do you cook for people or like, host ever?

[Kit Keenan]

I love. I love hosting. Especially, like in the summer. That is like my favorite thing to do. So, like, barbecuing and like, grilling with my whole family is like. Yeah. The most fun.

[Avery Woods]

I was gonna say. What's your, like, go to dish when you host?

[Kit Keenan]

I feel like we always do like some sort of Italian American vibes.

[Avery Woods]

Yum.

[Kit Keenan]

So it's just like, like big pasta dishes. Like in the summer. It's like pasta salad and meat, like on the grill. Salads.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, it's so good.

[Kit Keenan]

Potatoes so good. That sort of vibe.

[Avery Woods]

Okay. You're like the quintessential New York girl. So what's your perfect New York day? Start to finish?

[Kit Keenan]

Oh, my gosh. This is so fun. I'm obsessed. Okay. Okay. I would say, like, for me, every good day starts with a workout. So I would, like, go to one of my favorite workout classes. I've really been loving Fuse House recently. It's like heated Matte Pilates.

[Avery Woods]

Okay. I. Is. Does Bridget do that too? Yeah, I think I saw a video of her doing that and I was like, this is like my Pilates. But you're ten times sweatier.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. Which is. I don't know why we all, like, are so obsessed with that, but it's like such a high.

[Avery Woods]

It is.

[Kit Keenan]

It's so good. So I'll do a workout class in the morning and then probably like, go get ready. Go. I went yesterday. I went up to Central park with my mom and sister and it's like such a different world uptown. So probably go to Central park, walk around for a bit, maybe do some shopping uptown. Maybe a little like, coffee day or like lunch day uptown.

[Avery Woods]

Okay.

[Kit Keenan]

Which is fun. I always feel like an Upper east side mom. Like going to San Ambrose and like, having like an amazing coffee and a salad.

[Avery Woods]

And everyone's dressed so gorgeous.

[Kit Keenan]

So gorgeous. Yep. And then walk all the way downtown. I love a long walk and come back, hang out with my mom and sister and friends and then like, walk to dinner and get a spritz and a pasta at, like, Bar pd.

[Avery Woods]

What's with everyone in Spritzes in New York? Because I'M I'm sorry. Like an apparel spritz. My worst nightmare.

[Kit Keenan]

Really?

[Avery Woods]

No, I'm just gonna tell.

[Kit Keenan]

Okay, so I saw this video and this girl was saying that an aperol spritz is like similar to olives and coffee and like other like it's an acquired dark, dark chocolate or olives or. Or coffee where it's like. Maybe it's the type of thing that like you have to have. Like the first time you have it, you're like, ew, I hate this.

[Avery Woods]

Okay.

[Kit Keenan]

And then over time you kind of like become addicted because I'm like, I.

[Avery Woods]

Feel like I should really keep drinking them because it just makes me feel so fancy every time I try.

[Kit Keenan]

Have you tried a Hugo Spritz?

[Avery Woods]

No.

[Kit Keenan]

Okay. Order Hugo Spritz because that's like the other. It's like made with mint and like another liqueur.

[Avery Woods]

I like that.

[Kit Keenan]

I like mint and it's a little bit like sweeter I would say and just a different taste. And I feel like that could be your summer drink instead. So wait, what do you drink like when you go out?

[Avery Woods]

Usually a good wine or an extra dirty martini.

[Kit Keenan]

Okay, I need to be cut off from dirty martinis. I decided.

[Avery Woods]

Or do they you up?

[Kit Keenan]

Well, I just like for the twins birthday one who is at the twins birthday will know.

[Avery Woods]

They know how to have a good time.

[Kit Keenan]

Oh my God. I like I did my big one and I was like, I'll never be able to drink martini. Same again.

[Avery Woods]

Oh, okay. What do you love about living in New York City? And what's something that you're not a fan of?

[Kit Keenan]

I mean the thing is for me is like my family will like never leave New York. So I feel like there's just things that like maybe also like if I didn't grow up here, I would notice it more. But like, like it's a harsher lifestyle. Like the elements are harsh. Like you're. You're going outside and it's like 20 degrees in the winter and you're freezing and it's like dark at 5pm and like that sort of like day to day living experience is like not the most comfortable.

[Avery Woods]

Totally.

[Kit Keenan]

But I just think like I ignore a lot of those things because like.

[Avery Woods]

You'Re used to it.

[Kit Keenan]

I'm just so used to it. Like I almost like block out those like horrible, horrible winters.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

But I just think like it's also so worth it to have the culture and like to be able to. A good day in New York. Nothing will beat it like a bad day in New York. Yeah, it sucks. It's freezing. It's like harsh. And people can be mean and like that sort of thing. But a good day in New York when you walk outside of your house or your apartment and you run into every single person you've ever met and like everyone is just drinking on the street and walking around and you run into 16 people and you have a million different plans and the day just unfolds in the most perfect way. And it's warm and sunny and beautiful. Like spring in New York is actually it. It's like a. It's like a drug.

[Avery Woods]

It's like a magic. It's a magical place here.

[Kit Keenan]

Magical. Like nowhere beats it. So I feel like, yeah, the lows can be kind of low, but the highs are just amazing and make it so worth it. And like being able to have access to like so many different cool events and museums and you know what, for what we do, like, networking and like business relationships and influencer events and work stuff. Like, I feel like I get so many opportunities just because I live in here.

[Avery Woods]

Absolutely, yeah. So you obviously grew up with like a very successful fashion designer. As a mom, what are your fashion philosophies? Like, what is essential for your wardrobe?

[Kit Keenan]

I feel like I have like, sort of a uniform, like, and I have certain pieces that I like have will just always wear, you know, like a black blazer, a perfectly fitted pair of jeans, like a perfect tank top, white tank top. You know, my, like Chanel ballet flats that I never take off my feet.

[Avery Woods]

You're like, who I think of when I think of the Chanel ballet flat hats. Like, I'm like, these are like kids shoes. They.

[Kit Keenan]

I literally live for them. Like, I have had them since I was in high school.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, they're so cute. So obviously your mom is a very successful fashion designer. She's in the public eye. How was that as a kid? Like, how was your childhood affected by that? Or did it just feel normal?

[Kit Keenan]

I mean, there's no other. Like, I didn't have another type of existence. Kind of. Like, I only. I only have my own experience to speak to, I will say, because my parents are divorced and my dad is like a very normal homebody guy. He lives in Brooklyn, like third generation Brooklyn guy. Like, dad was a cop. That sort of.

[Avery Woods]

Really?

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Avery Woods]

I didn't know that. So.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. So I feel like I had. I guess that would be like my other example of like what it's like, like to not have totally a mom in the public eye or like a family in the public eye. So I had that experience a little bit and like, I didn't love it that much, you know.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

But I also think that, like, I don't want to speak badly about that either. Like, I also am so lucky to have like such an amazing dad as well.

[Avery Woods]

And also two different worlds.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. And two different worlds. And like, like a little bit of like a reality check, I guess. And I think it just also made me like so appreciative of the life that my mom is. Was able to give my sister. And I like growing up and I feel like it made me just. Yeah, just way more like thankful. And when you.

[Avery Woods]

I just heard that FX has a new original comedy series coming out called Adults. Adults is a comedy that'll feel relatable if you ever find humor in the the struggles of being an adult in 2025.

[Avery Woods]

Ever since switching to T Mobile, something weird has been happening. I get to cut lines.

[Kit Keenan]

Oh, right this way.

[Avery Woods]

Who me? I can stream shows at 30,000ft and I was able to buy reserve tickets for my favorite secret band.

[Kit Keenan]

It's not just you.

[Avery Woods]

With T Mobile, everyone can get VIP status.

[Kit Keenan]

That means access to exclusive events and.

[Avery Woods]

Experiences just for being a customer.

[Kit Keenan]

At t mobile, VIP means y o u check out the VIP treatment@t mobile.com benefits. I guess when you don't have that other thing to compare it to, it is like, oh, this is just my life. This is just like how everyone's life is, you know, there's no like, level of reality checker comparison, I feel. So, yeah, I guess I'm. It just made me like way more grateful for my life.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, it's so interesting because obviously my husband was a cop for a long time and like when my business picked up, I didn't want him working anymore. And I kind of love that my kids get to grow up with a mom that was able to. Not that David wasn't able to provide for us because he absolutely did. And like, when I was in nursing school, he was the only one Working for our family. And I'm so grateful for that. But I love that my kids see that their mom works so hard to give them anything in life that they could need. And I love that with her having two daughters, she, like, set this amazing example of being a businesswoman and working so hard to provide such a great life for you guys.

[Kit Keenan]

Absolutely. And I feel like she. I remember, like, a few years ago, she, like, saddest sound. She was like, do you guys think that I, like, was around enough, like, when you were little? Or, like, do you think that. Do you wish that I was, like, more present and, like, less tied to my work when, like, do you wish I took more time off of work or whatever? And we were both like, no. Like, we're so thankful to have that, like, role model. And I feel like it makes us just want to work way harder and, like, be able to do the same thing for our kids.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

And that's not to say, like, you have to do that in order to be an amazing mom, but I just feel like my mom was kind of critical of herself in that way, being, like, I don't know if that was the right choice or, like, if I would have been a better mom if I took time off from work. And I feel like, in our experience, it just, like, made her an even better mom and, like, someone that we really, really look up to and, like, admire so much.

[Avery Woods]

Did you have nannies?

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah, we did. We had, like, au pair. Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Okay. I. I love that your mom asked you that, because that's always a battle for me, because mom guilt is so real.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

And you go through. Okay, do I keep working in this particular industry where people are so critical and, like, I know things will come up when my kids get older and have social media, and they'll see things about me or our family or, you know, or just being mean. But also, this is what gives my kids a life that I never had. Like, so different from how I grew up. But also, then you have the guilt of when I'm not around. You know, I have to hire someone in order to help also raise my kids and work collaborative, collaboratively with them. Which is why I had David leave his job, was because I was either gonna keep doing what I was doing, he was gonna do what he was doing in his career. And we needed to hire one, maybe even two people to help raise our kids at home. Or. Or he could be home and we just have a babysitter a couple nights a week if we want, you know, but it's A balance. Like, it's really hard.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

And I love that your mom had that conversation with you, because that sounds like something I would ask my kids in the future.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. You know, and I'm sure, like, they're gonna give the same response.

[Avery Woods]

I hope. And, you know, I. People give me shit for traveling, for work, but what they don't get is when I worked full time as a nurse, I was gone for my kids so much more because I was working 312 hours.

[Kit Keenan]

Imagine also just, like, that whole world of, like, the way that I've seen. Because, like, none of my friends in, like, the New York City influencer space have kids yet. But, like, a lot of them have pets. And I, like, look at their comments and people are, like, roasting them for, like, how they're taking care of their pets and stuff. And I'm like, I can't imagine. I. I said that to Abby. She, like, was getting comments about, like, how she was treating her dog or something like that. And I responded to it and I was like, I can't imagine when all of us have kids. Like, it's. I. The. The criticism online is, like, insane. So I just. I just am, like, scared.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. I always laugh with my husband because we saw, like, the worst in the world with our careers. And, like, I worked at a level one trauma pediatric icu, so I'm like, if you think me allowing my son to wear a nightgown when he was four years old is child abuse, you go to a level one trauma ER and let me know how those parents are treating their kids. Like, it's just laughable for me.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Because I'm like, you're just nitpicking. Like, a lot of these people don't know what actually goes on in the world and, like, how lucky so many of these kids are and that anyone that's posting or, like, putting their life out there is to provide for their kids.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. No, it's really.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, it's crazy. Okay, back to fashion. What's a trend right now you wish would go away?

[Kit Keenan]

I was actually just talking to my mom about this yesterday, and I think something that people are gonna regret is the barrel jeans.

[Avery Woods]

I do own some of those. I'll throw them away.

[Kit Keenan]

Like, I just.

[Avery Woods]

And your mom hates them too.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. See, here's my thing. I think being, like, a. Like, having some curves, it makes me feel like I have a thigh gap.

[Kit Keenan]

Oh, my God.

[Avery Woods]

You know, because you, like, stand out and you're outer leg. The outer legs are kind of wide.

[Kit Keenan]

Because it's like it. But it looks like a cartoon character.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

Sort of like Popeye, but it's still like.

[Avery Woods]

But it's like kind of giving skinny energy still.

[Kit Keenan]

I can't.

[Avery Woods]

Don't tell your mom I said that. Oh, my God. Okay, what else is your mom not liking right now? I need to know this. Is there anything that she's like, ugh, that's awful.

[Kit Keenan]

Oh, we were talking about, you know, the, you know, the like mesh ballet flats. Like the cage.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah, yeah. Also that's just if I'm buying flats, like, I'm hiding my toes. Like, I don't want people seeing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't get those either.

[Kit Keenan]

Like, wear sandals or Whereabouts.

[Avery Woods]

Might as well go bare feet, honestly, with those things.

[Kit Keenan]

But honestly, just. Just any sort of like open toed shoe or like flip flop or. Honestly, I'm just getting like choked up thinking about like people walking around in those mesh ballet flats in New York City. Because, like, any sort. If your dogs are like anywhere near the New York City street, if you are wearing. Okay, the only. The only pass people have for this is if they're wearing flip flops. Flops to the nail salon, which in New York, your nail salon is literally like, I would say a two block radius outside of your apartment, which is your apartment.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

So if you are wearing flip flops to the nail salon and back home, you're safe. Anything else? If you have your bare feet anywhere near the New York City sidewalks. Diabolical. And you need, like, you're clearly not from here and you need to leave.

[Avery Woods]

I just think that's crazy.

[Kit Keenan]

So scary.

[Avery Woods]

All right, what's your favorite way to reset if you're having an off day? What fills your cup?

[Kit Keenan]

I feel like a really good, like, west side highway walk. There's like what the west side highway in New York is like almost like the boardwalk in Miami or like that sort of thing. It's like an area that like, everyone goes to walk or run.

[Avery Woods]

Okay.

[Kit Keenan]

And it's right on the water. And like a really long walk on the west side highway or therapy or like journaling.

[Avery Woods]

I get that you obviously have a very solid group of friends that a lot of people know. The New York influencers. How do you nurture those relationships with such a busy schedule? I feel like you guys are always together doing stuff.

[Kit Keenan]

I feel like what's great about, like living where I was born and raised is that, like, I have my friends that I met later on in life, like through work or through social media, and then I have my Friends from. From childhood that, like most people, if you're born and raised in New York, probably end up moving back to New York after college. And most of my friends from childhood did. So, like, I still have a lot of the same friends that I had growing up in New York. And then I also have my newer friends that I met through work that, like, happen to be some of my closest friends now too. And I just feel like it's the type of thing, like, we all have group chats. We're all, like, firing up the group chats all day long. And then, like, we see each other, like, and we'll do work stuff together and, like, events and fun things. And then we'll do also, just like, dinner at someone's apartment.

[Avery Woods]

Yeah. There's so many New York influencers that, honestly, anyone that I've ever met that's an influencer in New York has been so kind.

[Kit Keenan]

I feel so lucky. Like, I feel. I, yeah, genuinely feel so thankful for that every single day. Because as I was saying, like, I feel like I experienced, like, the older generation of, like, the blogger girls who weren't very nice to each other. And, I mean, they can, like, tell that story themselves. Yeah. But it was just, like, way more competitive. And then when I was in la, it was, like, genuinely scary. Like, the girls were, like, mean. And I feel like when I came back to New York and realized, like, oh, wait, this is such a supportive community and everyone is, like, cheering each other on and thinking that, that if these people get more opportunities, that just means more jobs for me and more opportunities for me. Like, I always try to have that mindset even when I'm, like, comparing myself. And I just think, like, I feel so lucky all the time for how supportive the New York City girls are.

[Avery Woods]

It is polar opposite of some of the people I've met in LA compared to New York City. And I feel like there's. Well, people will make videos that live in New York, like, on New York influencers. And I think it's actually hilarious. And people try to get clout off being mean girls or, like, bullies when they don't know any of you guys personally.

[Kit Keenan]

And let me just say one thing for anyone, because a lot of the people that make those types of videos want to be influencers and brands will.

[Avery Woods]

Never work with them.

[Kit Keenan]

And the one thing that I will say about that, we never forget, like, people, like, people will make, like, one sort of, like, mean video like that or, like, trying to say negative things about, like, the New York City girls. We literally will never forget. And the community is so vast. There's girls that do and boys that do. Like, everything under the sun. People are authors, people are fashion girls, people are makeup girls, people like, like our chefs, whatever it is. Like, there are so many different ways to be a New York City influencer. But I will say, like, the one thing that I've noticed in this realm is, like, everyone keeps it professional and everyone keeps it pushing. And like, if you're gonna make a video and like, try to be caddy and try to start drama, it will never be forgotten.

[Avery Woods]

I've talked about this so many times in my podcast and I always say the people that are trying to make it on social media by doing clickbait for nasty comments, by talking about other people making stuff up, literally making videos, being bullies. First of all, I think it's so embarrassing because people in your personal life see that and like, you should be ashamed. Second of all, you make money on social media by having great relationships with brands and companies that want to pay you money, by being a good person and a good influence and using your platform to talk about their company. They will never pay you a dime if you're making videos about people like that. I think it's crazy, but when you were talking about your experience with LA influencers, I just think it's so interesting because any influencer I've ever met, either on a brand trip or just coming to New York or have become mutuals on social media with everyone from New York has, is so lovely. I've never met an influencer from New York that I've been like, oh, she's a. I've, I've never gotten like, competitive jealousy vibes. Nothing. Like, you guys are always doing stuff together, encouraging one another, comments you on each other's stuff. That is not the case in la. And I think what you said is so important about how you said when one of us excels, we all do. Like, we're all able to kind of like bring each other up. And I just think it needs to be like that. Yeah, more on the west coast.

[Kit Keenan]

But it's, that's, that's the reality of the situation. It's like once one person makes X amount on a brand deal and it's like the biggest amount of money we any of us have heard about, that means that there, there's more opportunity for your manager to negotiate your rates higher. Like, it's all. When one of us wins, everyone else wins. Like, and then, you know, once the brand sees that that campaign worked really well, for them, they'll do more influencer campaigns. Like, this industry continues to grow because people are, like, continuously breaking those boundaries and, like, like helping the industry grow because of the deals that they're making and because of the brands that they're working with. And I just feel like the more that brands see that proven by other campaigns that they do with other influencers, the more opportunities that there are for you.

[Avery Woods]

Totally. And also, like, events like, being able to take someone as a plus one and, like, showing face to the brand, introducing yourself, like, that's all very important. And the brand has enough money to be able to pay multiple people. And I think it's just so important to do that together. And so I really respect all of the New York girls because I feel like they're just genuinely good people.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Like, really sweet. So you got a procedure done recently?

[Kit Keenan]

I did. I feel like I made, like, literally one tick tock about it, but I got a boob job. Yay. It's just something that I've, like, wanted for so long. I have a friend in New York, and I, like, saw her boobs, like, maybe a year ago, and she was like, yeah. I went to this doctor. He does, like, kind of petite, like, that sort of look. And even though I like, I. It's funny because I say, like, oh, I wanted something that looked kind of natural. Like, you couldn't maybe really tell if I got anything done. But then, of course, I blasted it online. So, like, that kind of defeats the purpose. But I just wanted something that would, like. Like. Like, I have naturally no breast tissue whatsoever.

[Avery Woods]

You're very.

[Kit Keenan]

If I do, like. Like, I had nothing. Like, I had, like, triple. Triple A. So I knew that, like, whatever implant I was gonna get, it would kind of look like two little hard rocks. But because there was no fat around them.

[Avery Woods]

Sure.

[Kit Keenan]

So I had to be like, even if I wanted big old knockers, like, I couldn't really do that because they'd just be stuck. Yeah.

[Avery Woods]

Boulders.

[Kit Keenan]

Like some sort of, like, X Men.

[Avery Woods]

Like, you're, like, hitting people. Yeah.

[Kit Keenan]

Like, it would just not be cute. So went for a more conservative look. And I'm very happy. Like, I feel like these are at least my pre baby boobs for, like, the next, like, you know, four or five years.

[Avery Woods]

Okay. So I know someone that got. That has a very similar, like, tiny frame like you. And she got her boobs done, and she said she loved him even more after she had her first because they sat so much more natural.

[Kit Keenan]

That. Honestly, that gives me a little bit More hope, too. Because I feel like, yeah, they kind of grow and, like, change and stuff.

[Avery Woods]

So it's like, especially if you breastfeed, like, it just. You're. You're gonna grow, and then they kind of settle. Natural. And she said she didn't get her implants exchanged until after she had her second kid because she loved him so much.

[Kit Keenan]

Interesting.

[Avery Woods]

So I think you did such a good job. Like, they fit your frame beautifully. And I also think, like, I blasted my whole thing, but I still get questions every day, like, are your boobs natural or.

[Kit Keenan]

Yours looks so natural.

[Avery Woods]

Thank you.

[Kit Keenan]

But that's so good.

[Avery Woods]

That is what you did. Like, if you don't follow you on social media, I would never think you guys.

[Kit Keenan]

Yeah. And, like, when I'm on the beach, like, with my boyfriend's family, like, they're not going to be able to tell that.

[Avery Woods]

[Kit Keenan]
