Not So Little with Kendall Vertes

Kendall Vertes welcomes fellow Dance Moms alum Chloe Lukasiak for a heartfelt trip down memory lane. After months of fan requests, the two Pittsburgh natives finally sit down to discuss their shared childhood, which was spent working long hours under a notoriously "mean" dance teacher. They dive deep into how that high-pressure upbringing shaped their work ethics and why, despite the trauma, they wouldn't change a thing.

Happy Opening Day to the Pittsburgh Pirates! Kendall takes you along for the chaos, from last-minute outfit hunting in her dad’s closet to a sold-out game. The vibes are high, the weather is questionable, and the baseball boys are… noted. Then she sits down with her childhood best friend Laney for a full-circle catch-up.

Kendall brings Christi Lukasiak, best known as Chloe’s mom from Dance Moms, to Not So Little for a hilarious and surprisingly revealing trip down memory lane. Christi shares how she was actually involved in helping shape the show from the very beginning, opens up about what was real versus producer-driven, and tells behind-the-scenes stories that fans definitely haven’t heard before.

Kendall heads back to Arizona for a sweaty pickleball showdown with her sister Charlotte, who was a serious tennis player growing up. Then Kendall sits down with tennis player and content creator Madison Appel in Palm Springs for her very first ever podcast interview.

Kendall sits down with gymnast and creator Gracie Kramer to talk about losing her senior season to COVID, the identity crisis that followed, and how she rebuilt her life through content, coaching, and saying yes to scary opportunities… including a wild Martha Stewart stunt job that literally changed everything.

Brett Chody joins Kendall for a fun conversation about building a platform, working for her family’s business, and falling back in love with running. She opens up about stepping away from collegiate running at USC, training for the upcoming Tokyo Marathon, and how Bites Run Club went from a spontaneous Instagram story to 1,500 girls showing up.

Kendall is back in California and sits down with Teala Dunn for a long-overdue catch-up. They talk growing up online, booking iconic roles as kids, and why 2016 energy deserves a full comeback.

Kendall is in Las Vegas with her sister Charlotte for a not-really-a-brand-trip brand trip, and she’s also reuniting with former Dance Moms castmate Brynn Rumfallo. She takes you along for the chaos before heading to the Sphere for Zach Brown Band.

Kendall kicks off her New York City episode with a fun girls’ night out and a much-needed reunion with her college besties. There’s wine, outfit debates, and a chaotic sing-along inside a pedicab. She then sits down with content creator and podcaster Hallie Batchelder for a big-sister chat about post-grad life, moving to New York, friendships, dating, and figuring it out as you go.

Kendall’s back home in Pittsburgh for a very Vertes Thanksgiving, hosting more than 40 family members, three turkeys, a custom drink menu, and the first-ever family talent show. From rehearsing a full ABBA performance with her sisters to mixing cocktails, doing the annual headcount, and soaking in all the chaos, she brings you right into the holiday. Then, the three Vertes girls sit down together to talk funny Thanksgiving memories, growing up, traditions they’ll pass on, and what they’re each most grateful for this year.

Kendall talks through the emotional whiplash of loving the comfort of home but craving independence, the weirdness of dating while your parents are down the hall, and why today’s version of love and “ghosting culture” makes zero sense to them. Then her mom and dad join her on the couch to air their top roommate complaints, share what it’s like being under the same roof, and offer the advice they wish they could give their 22-year-old selves.

You might know Kendall Vertes from Dance Moms, but now she’s all grown up! Fresh out of college and back home in Pittsburgh, Kendall is figuring out post-grad life in real time while taking you along for the ride. She’s traveling all over for special occasions, work trips, catching up with old friends, meeting new ones, and sharing all the funny, honest, and sometimes chaotic moments in between. This is growing up, Kendall-style. New episodes of Not So Little drop every Thursday.
