Hi, my name is Kiah and I am a recovering people pleaser. I’m introducing myself like I’m at a people pleasers anonymous meeting and honestly, if those groups don’t exist maybe they should.

As a people pleaser, I have had a tendency in my life to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself because I didn’t want to rock the boat, upset people, or just generally be uncomfortable. I saw my thoughts and feelings as a me problem and I didn’t...

Social media… What a wonderful, terrible place. Am I right? I have a love-hate relationship with it. I’m so grateful it is a way that I can connect with so many of you, I have made some of my very closest friends through social media, and I’ve also learned a lot in the space.

But, it can also be a source of a lot of stress and anxiety for me. It can feel like keeping up with joneses as a small business marketing online and lord know...

It might sound silly to some people, but back in high school (and long after) I had a personal rule to never let my legs show above my knees. Along with that rule, I had several other rules on a long list of conditions for my own self-acceptance. I have since been working on overcoming those rules, and I am celebrating myself for loving and accepting my body in lots of different ways. Seemingly small ways that actually mean a lot t...

If you’re listening to this in real time, we are just a couple weeks away from hitting the middle of the year. We typically think about setting goals and casting big visions for our lives and our careers at the beginning of a new year, but I think it’s important that we make time throughout the year to check-in with ourselves, check in on our progress, and reevaluate if we’re still going in the right direction or even climbing the ...

“Compared to what?” This was a question my grandpa would always ask us when we chatted.

Even if all I was asking him was “how are you doing?” It was a powerful lesson in perspective, in realizing that everything we think, believe, and feel is always in the context of what we’re comparing it to. So in today’s episode, I’m challenging you with this question and the power of perspective. 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:
