  • Behind Closed Doors: Let’s Talk Domestic Violence

    Some things are difficult to talk about, but that doesn’t mean we should stay silent.

    In this episode of MyCurlsSpeak with Key, we’re having an open and honest conversation about domestic violence. We’re talking about what it can look like, why leaving isn’t always as simple as people make it seem, the warning signs we sometimes overlook, and the importance of extending compassion instead of judgment to those experiencing abuse.

    We’re also talking about the lives behind the statistics. The women, families, children, friends, and communities forever changed by domestic violence.

    With October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I wanted to use this episode to create space for a conversation that is uncomfortable, emotional, and necessary.

    This episode is for awareness.
    It’s for understanding.
    It’s for the voices that have been silenced.
    And it’s for every survivor who is still finding their way forward.

    In loving memory of every life lost to domestic violence. You were more than a statistic. You were someone’s daughter, mother, sister, friend, loved one, and so much more. Your life mattered. Your story matters. Your memory matters.

    May we continue saying their names, sharing their stories, and doing our part to create a world where fewer lives are lost to domestic violence.

    If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. In the U.S., you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1 800 799 SAFE (7233), text START to 88788, or visit thehotline.org.

    Embarking on a journey of self-discovery can be a lonely road, but with the right mindset and understanding of attachment theory, the path to self-love becomes clear and navigable.

    Struggling to hear your own voice amidst the noise of life's demands? I've been there, too—navigating through the haze of emotional abuse and gaslighting, only to emerge with a newfound understanding of when to speak up and when to cherish silence. Join me, as I share personal tales of setting boundaries and embracing self-affirmation, tools that are not just nice to have, but essential for anyone on the path of self-care and happiness. Within this honest dialogue, I'll take you through the intricacies of choosing your battles, centering on a recent debate that taught me an invaluable lesson about the strength found in choice.

    The voyage doesn't stop at finding our voice; it's also about discovering sustainable peace in the aftermath of grief. Let's talk about anchoring happiness from within and the role of authentic friendships, as opposed to the din of critics. I open up about my own experiences with loss and how reconnecting with my faith served as a balm for the soul. We'll explore the quiet power of self-awareness and how it leads to healing beyond the expected avenues, like romance, guiding you toward a serene harbor amidst life's tempests.

  • Is Social Media Toxic or Is It Me?

    Send us a text

    Ever feel like you're just one positive affirmation away from a breakthrough? That's where we start our journey this week, weaving powerful statements to spark your self-assurance and ignite creativity.  Plus, there's a sneak peek into an honest exchange about the double-edged sword that is social media, and its ability to uplift or undercut our happiness.

    The digital age presents new arenas for conflict, as showcased by the now-infamous Cabo debacle, where a group vacation turned into a viral spectacle. I weigh in on this chaos with a personal take, reflecting on the nuanced dance of friendship, money matters, and conflict resolution when your life is on display online. We'll explore what it truly means to be a good friend and the wisdom of choosing your travel companions wisely. And if you've ever been baffled by the dynamics of love and friendship, particularly when it comes to mixing romantic partners into the girls' trip equation, you're in for some candid conversation. Tune in for a heartfelt, sometimes humorous, always genuine trek through life's ups, downs, and the friendships that see us through it all.

  • Choosing The Positives

    Send us a text

    Ever found yourself caught up in the whirlwind of negativity, especially when scrolling through those endless book reviews? Well, my friends, in this week's heart-to-heart, we're flipping the script and spotlighting the power of positivity. You'll hear all about the drama that unfolded during a book tok beef—a reminder of how easily we can get dragged down when we fixate on the things that don’t jive with us. But here's the twist: I share my personal mantra on book reviews, where if a read doesn’t spark joy, it simply doesn’t make the cut for discussion. It's all about embracing what resonates and letting go of the rest, fostering a community that’s rooted in support rather than criticism.

    As we navigate the complexities of single parenting, from school events that tug at our heartstrings to those precious moments of peace, I open up about finding gratitude amidst the chaos. This episode is an ode to the silver linings that bolster us through tough times, and it’s a call to arms to uplift each other by focusing on the good. And for those yearning to be part of the conversation, I extend an invitation to connect with me on social media, whether it’s a chat on Instagram or sharing your story as a guest on the podcast. Let's come together and celebrate our collective growth, one positive step at a time.

    On this week's episode Tzy of 2 Tears In A Bucket Podcast joined me as we discussed Valentine's Day, Love Languages in relationships, and the infamous red flags we should look out for when dating. This conversation really was just a chat between friends so we were all over the place but I promise it made sense.  I may have told a little of my business. I wouldn't be me if I didn't.  Enjoy the show and don't forget to let us know what you thought of it.
