You Stickin' With That Podcast

EPISODE 32: THE AUDACITY… Public proposals. Viral finger-pointing. Big gestures. Bigger side-eyes. This week on  You Stickin’ With That? , I’m diving into two moments that had the internet buzzing: the Empire State proposal story and the now-viral Sophie Cunningham moment. But this episode isn’t just about what happened — it’s about the  audacity behind it , the attention economy we’re all living...

In this special BONUS episode, we’re talking about the Declaration of Independence—America’s original “we’re done here” letter, but with a whole lot more courage and a whole lot more at stake. This wasn’t just a dramatic breakup with King George. It was a formal declaration, a list of grievances, and a risk so big that signing it could have cost these men their lives. In this episode, Stephie Kay...

A wedding may last a day, but a marriage is built over a lifetime. In Episode 30, we’re looking beyond the dress, the cake, and the celebration to talk about what really makes a marriage last. From communication and forgiveness to reasonable expectations and choosing each other through every season, this episode is a reminder that love isn’t just something you promise—it’s something you practice....

The older we get, the more we get it. We get that parenting doesn’t come with a manual. We get that our mothers were navigating life for the first time, too. We get that family, forgiveness, and grace matter more than perfection. In this episode, two sisters compare notes on childhood, motherhood, divorce, dating, family traditions, and the lessons that seem to make more sense with time.

Winter. Spring. Summer. Fall. We understand the seasons on a calendar. But what about the seasons of life? Maybe you’re in a season of waiting. Maybe you’re rebuilding after a loss. Maybe you’re growing in ways nobody else can see. Or maybe you’re finally harvesting the results of seeds you planted years ago. In this episode of  You Stickin’ With That? , we’re talking about the difference between...

Episode 27: Do You Know Who You Are? Somewhere along the way, many of us start living by expectations, labels, titles, and other people’s opinions instead of who we truly are. This week on  You Stickin’ With That? , we’re talking about identity. Who are you when the job changes? When the relationship ends? When the kids grow up? When life doesn’t go according to plan? We’ll explore why so many peo...

Episode 26: LIAR, LIAR? Everybody says honesty matters… Until the truth gets uncomfortable.

EPISODE 25 —  Much Ado About Something Somewhere along the way… human beings started turning every inconvenience into a full emotional documentary. A missing sauce packet becomes a crisis. A thumbs-up emoji becomes an investigation. And social media? It turned all of us into publicists for our feelings. But underneath the humor is a bigger question: What are we feeding our minds every day… and why...

Episode 24:  AI Can’t Hug You Back   We’re living in a world where technology can answer questions in seconds, write songs, recommend soulmates, and keep us connected 24/7… …but somehow people still feel more lonely than ever. This episode dives into the tension between convenience and connection — what we gain from AI, what we risk losing, and why human presence still matters. From modern dating...

Some of the best moments in life never make the highlight reel. In this episode of  You Stickin’ With That? , Stephie Kay shares stories from her birthday week — swimming with dolphins, listening to dueling pianos, finishing her first gym challenge, a Mother’s Day reflection, and even a simple “Just Married” sign hanging across the hall that sparked something deeper. Because maybe joy isn’t always...

Some pain visits us… but some pain moves in because we keep replaying it. This week, Stephie Kay dives into the emotions that quietly keep people stuck — guilt, shame, ego, pride, heartbreak, and the stories we keep telling ourselves long after life has already moved forward. From divorce and healing to stubbornness, identity, relationships, faith, and learning how to stop sitting in what’s breaki...

Episode 21: Still Stickin’ With It Everybody loves the beginning. The fresh start. The hype. The “this is my year” energy. But the middle? That’s where things get quiet. No applause. No shortcuts. Just showing up… again. In Episode 21, Stephie Kay talks about what it really takes to keep going when motivation fades and results aren’t instant. From podcast struggles to real-life comebacks, this epi...

Episode 20: No Good Story Ever Started With a Salad We’ve all heard the phrase…  no good story ever started with a salad.  But what if we’ve been trained to chase chaos, drama, and excitement… while overlooking the quiet things that actually build a good life? In this episode, Stephie Kay unpacks why humans love fireworks, why wisdom often looks boring at first, and how consistency, peace, laughte...

Some advice barely registers… and other words stay with us for years — shaping how we think, how we act, and who we become. So what’s the difference? In this episode, we talk about why certain advice lands — and why some of the most powerful truth in our lives is the stuff we almost ignored. Because hearing something… is one thing. Doing something with it? That’s what changes everything.

Online dating has changed everything… but has it made connection any easier? In this episode, I sit down with Carol and Becca as they share their real experiences navigating dating apps — the good, the awkward, and the “what just happened?” moments.

It started as a joke. And for a minute… it was funny. But then something shifted—and I couldn’t ignore it. In this episode of You Stickin’ With That?, I share a real moment that had me asking: At what point does “funny” stop feeling good? We’re talking about pranks, boundaries, and that quiet voice inside that says, this isn’t it anymore. Because sometimes we keep laughing… not because it’s funny—...

Episode 16: Six Degrees Closer What if the distance between us isn’t as big as it feels? We’ve all heard of Six Degrees of Separation—the idea that we’re only a few connections away from anyone in the world. But what if that’s more than just a theory? What if it’s a reminder? In this episode, we slow down and take a closer look at the people we don’t understand—the ones we disagree with, avoid, or...

Episode 15: The Lesson That Left Me Stranded Ran out of gas. In a national forest. In the dark. 45 minutes from help. Not exactly how I planned the night. But sometimes the moments that don’t go as planned are the ones that stay with us the longest… They change us. They shape us. They make us better. Because the delay doesn’t mean you’re not still getting where you’re meant to go— it might be exac...

From dating experiences to exploring faith and the everyday moments that make us stop and think, today’s episode wanders through the small things and bigger questions that shape how we see life. It’s light, honest, and a little all over the place — but somewhere between random and intentional, there’s always somet...

Built for the Moment reflects on what pressure reveals — not just in elite athletes like Alysa Liu, but in everyday life. Drawing from years of coaching and the perspective of motherhood, this episode explores resilience, discipline, and the quiet strength built long before the moment arrives. Because growth isn’t about perfection — it’s about how we show up when it counts.

A real compass doesn’t fix where you are — it gives you one direction to follow until you feel steady again.  The Focus Compass works the same way. It's like giving your brain a fun job. In this Episode, I show you how it works. This is for anyone who would like to ease their racing thoughts. Please pass it on.

Dating today? It’s a mix of red flags, green lights, and “wait… what just happened?” In this episode, I sit down with friends to swap dating stories, lessons learned, and the things we wish we’d known sooner. We’re talking honesty, boundaries, intuition — and how to trust yourself again. Because sometimes the biggest relationship lesson isn’t about them… it’s about you.

What if the one who walks away isn't lost- just listening more closely? In Episode 9, we unpack the penguin who didn't stick with the pack- and why sometimes separation isn't rebellion, it's obedience. This episode is about trusting your instincts, honoring your growth, and learning that being alone for a season doesn't mean you're doing life wrong. It might mean you're...

Sometimes the next guy isn’t the one — he’s the warm-up guy. In this episode, we unpack rebound relationships, how to truly move on, and why creating a clear list of what you’re looking for can change everything about what comes next.
