The Heart Seat is where real life meets real connection. I’m Keseena, a traveler & entrepreneur who has lived, worked, and loved across cultures. This podcast is a space where I speak with friends, guests, and sometimes just with you, about different parts of life. From long-distance relationships to burnout, from spiritual shifts to the pressure of hustle culture, from friendships that hold you together to moments that break you open. These are the stories behind the story. The ones I have lived. The ones we all carry. New episodes every month. Come take a seat.
