Hi!!! I’ve missed recording the podcast so I decided to come back...a little! I took a break from the podcast for a lot of reasons, most of which I’ve come to terms with. But I’ve missed sharing my Kiri Keys and I wanted to start again, but I’m still trying to figure out what that looks like. In the meantime, I want so share some of my #selfcaresunday notes here to go alongside my weekly videos on IGTV. I’ll be doing these to continue spread the message of of self-care and the work we must all do to be our best selves. Join me every week for some weekly self-care tips!!

Do you know what self-awareness is?

This week I discuss why practicing self-awareness is key in understanding yourself and how it helps you to love yourself better.

I take a deeper look into one of my Self-Care Saturday videos from YouTube on a self-reflection task. Check it out if you haven't already.

GRATITUDE = ACKNOWLEDGEMENT + APPRECIATION + ACTION

On this episode, I discuss my understanding of an “Independent Woman” and what it takes to be one. After attending an Essence + Northwestern Mutual speaking event featuring Myleik Teele and a Financial Advisor from Northwestern, I realized how independent I have become in the last few weeks and months since starting to the podcast. Listen to hear me discuss my independence formula!

After a short hiatus, Kiri Keys Podcast is back! After losing my voice for a week or so and enjoying the last days of summer, I decided to take a break before the fall starts.

I GOT THE KEYS!!! The keys of my life, that is. On this episode, I talk about the life keys that I'm using right now to navigate through this phase of my life.

I discuss the three "keys" I live my life by and incorporated into my everyday life. These Kiri Keys have allowed me to learn more about myself and boosted my confidence as I have matured.

Kiri's Keys of Life:

1. Meet people where they are at

2. Know when to walk away & do it

3. Feel how you feel

Check it out and let me know what life keys have you adopted into your life lately.

*The sound quality of this podcast is not as great as my others, I apologize in advance & working to make it better.

I’ve been on a short break since the last episode so I wanted to check in and share what I’ve been up to and what’s to come on future podcasts.

Kiri G. discusses the different approaches that men and women have to dating due to society’s gender roles and provides 5 tips to women on how to date like men.

In this episode, I tell you a little bit about me and why I started the podcast.
