Honesty on Fire

Kalynn is in the feels this week and brings up the topic of going back. Is this something you entertain? Can it be different?  Can it work? Can it be right?  The debate is on between the heart and the mind. Mike and Kalynn both have competing thoughts, not with each other, but within their souls. 

Mike gets real with the crew about Graduation week. The crew discuss how to best navigate the challenges of inter-family and blended family events, especially how they relate to kids going through the situations. 

This week we hear Kalynn's dating profile update and where she found the fire, it's not in the Hive. We also get into Mother's Day and the challenges we have with that. Lying, honesty and tough feelings are all part of life and we get into it in this week's episode. 

An offline discussion with Kalynn over the "About Me" section of dating apps leads to a fun discussion on the challenges of dating and doing so honestly. We hope you enjoy an honest conversation about the perils of dating, dating apps, dating at different stages of life and dating with the right mindset. 

The HOFers discuss how expectations within ourselves dictate our decisions to be truthful within relationships. Mike and Kalynn get deep into how it affected their serious relationships. We also discuss how birthdays and celebrations are impacted by strain of relationships. 

The HOF crew talks about the impact that lying and honesty has on relationships with their children, parents and family members. In tackling honesty, we often times impact relationships at a very deep level and the fallout and accountability is longer term. Mike, Kalynn and Noah get deep into that in this episode. 

We continue our discussion with Kyla Steele and talk about how to set yourself up for Real Love. Mike and Kyla discuss how to escape from abusive relationships and find ways to thrive as you prepare for the relationship you deserve. 

Kyla Steele joins the Honesty on Fire group to discuss her work as an expert in the field of surviving and thriving after an abusive relationship. Kyla brings great knowledge and strategy for overcoming the cycles of abuse that tend to keep us in relationships that are no longer healthy for us. She shares her story as an abuse survivor and gives strategies and understanding on how to begin to thrive in relationships. We had so much to discuss with Kyla that this is Part 1 of a two part series this week, we hope you enjoy.

In this episode, Mike, Kalynn and Noah recap our first half of the interview with Madina Alam and get into a discussion on how emotion impacts our lives and struggles. We also continue our discussion with Madina Alam on dealing with panic attacks, handling our emotions, and finding positive ways to channel healthy choices. 

This week on Honesty on Fire we are excited to have Madina Alam, a licensed therapist, join us to discuss her specialty, panic attacks, anxiety and strategies to overcome them. You might recognize Madina from her time on the Bachelor and she has taken advantage of her platform to help so many people deal with anxiety and panic attacks. She hosts regular events to help encourage others to speak about their mental health with a campaign called "Say How You Feel - It's Sexy".  We think you will enjoy hearing from Madina.
