Aliaya is a travel encourager from Los Angeles.

Aliaya is one of the most well-traveled people I know, with voyages spanning several countries across multiple continents in the pursuit of curiosity. Our conversation has multiple stops in destinations such as building confidence in adulthood, traveling abroad, analog moments in a digital world, and much much more.

Whether you have never left your backyard, or have traveled all around the world, we hope this episode inspires you to want to pursue even more knowledge about what exists out there.

Paola is a holistic healer, an artist, as well as a licensed massage therapist from New York.

She is also the only guest of the podcast thus far that I have a “secret handshake” with. Her specialty as a massage therapist is relaxation & mind/body integration, which is a great backdrop for this episode. Join us for advice on maximizing your massage experiences, how to live your life without limitations, New York culture, and much more.

Cambria is a podcaster (another 1/4 of FourDeepPod) as well as a dental student at Howard University.

Cambria is one of the most ambitious people that I know and truly cares about the people in her circle. She is the first person I ever met that wanted to be a dentist, and I will never forget when I visited her in DC and saw her in her scrubs - she really be doing the damn thing. This episode gives you a peek into that journey, plenty of UCSD stories (and teasers to some that everybody can’t hear), comparisons of the HBCU vs UC experience, and of course, some tips to make your dentist happy on your next visit.

Welcome back to Free Game Fridays! Each session of this 4-part series, we discuss an overarching topic, how it has manifested in our personal and professional lives, and provide some gems for listeners to takeaway with them.

As young adults who are hustlers, entrepreneurs, and perfectionists, sometimes we get caught up trying to do it all ourselves. This episode is all about utilizing resources as a young adult and learning where, when, why, & how to ask for the help you need. Whether you are in college, going to college, or an adult in need of some guidance, this episode is for you!

James is a graduate student, poet, & gamer from Sacramento, California.

The way that James talks about math education is engaging in a way that I have not seen a lot of. You can really tell this is his shit. He is much more than just a mathematician though - he gives us gems about his journeys with his hobbies including poetry, being Black in the world of fencing, and the world of streaming video games.

P.S. If you are seeing double in this episode, then you and James’ homegirl from Starbucks would get along well since she thought I was him.

Taylor (she/her) is a mother, caregiver, and social worker from Los Angeles.

Our friendship started on AOL Instant Messenger (known to the OG’s as AIM), eventually became best friends, went to homecoming and prom together, and maintain a close friendship to this day! This episode is filled with laughter and heartwarming stories as we talk about the trials and tribulations of motherhood, alongside a discussion of the importance of a strong support system (shout out to the MommyGang group chat). In addition, we get some insight into the fields of Psychology and Social Work, giving some clarity to what social work does and does not entail, and why it is important work for Taylor given her love for

Psychology.https://www.thefourthkyler.com/bhp/taylor

Irene is a blogger and graduate student from San Diego.

I couldn’t think of a more suitable name for this episode than Storytelling as a Superpower because I believe that is a unique gift that both Irene and I share. We truly value the depth of meaning within the words that we use every single day. It is clear that we both also understand and appreciate the value of telling our stories, as evidenced by both this podcast, and her blog, RenRenSpeaks. This episode gave us an opportunity to talk at lengths about storytelling, while taking some stops to talk about travel, taking care of our skin, and photography. Irene also gives us a beautiful gem of the moment she met her grandparents (for the first time) in Congo, one of my favorite stories from the pod to date. In case that wasn’t enough, we learn about Occupational Therapy, what it is, what it isn’t, and why it matters to her.
