On The Path with Kissiah Young

Yes, you read that correctly. This episode is about the experience of having an inner-ruption. It's that dis-ease or angst or unsettled feeling or stress or insert the very thing that is disrupting your inner. It's often that feeling we feel when something has happened and remains unresolved. Perhaps we feel slighted, unseen, disrespected, disregarded, or there's an injustice of some kind, or a bit of gaslighting. It could even be that we ourselves have behaved in a way that we aren't proud of, and that has a hold on us. I know I've felt an inner-ruption before, recently in fact. I invite you to listen to a little bit of my experience.

As always, thank you for being here. 

Deep gratitude,

In 2017, I quit my job and career in hospice care and moved to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I did this without any real planning, plan, or financial abundance. I felt moved, called, and so I left.

What you should know, is that the leaving was easy. Letting things go and walking away, felt normal to me for whatever reason. It was the return that exercised my truest, deepest, and realist inner strength. That rebuilding journey brought me face to face with faith and what it really looked like and meant for me. The kind of faith that one needs when they have little to no means or resources. I learned not only that I possessed faith, but how to practice it. 

This episode shares a bit about my journey while also turning the reflection onto you and asking you the tough questions about your faith, and how you keep steady in your life. 

Thank you for joining me, and as always, I welcome your thoughts.

Deep gratitude,

Kissiah

Too often we do ourselves a disservice by keeping our wants and needs quiet, and not making them known. Interestingly, we somehow still manage to believe the other person should know. I guess it's easier to feel disappointed than it is to be vulnerable about our needs. A lack of communication, and I mean real communication, of the transparent, direct, truthfully vulnerable, and open, kind, is at the root of most interpersonal problems with intimate relationships being rather high.

I appreciate practicing real communication. I find myself having a richer more meaningful and authentic life experience. One of the many things I appreciate about this practice, is how communication allows me to see things clearly. I also appreciate the way it enhances my personal life, be that growing in deeper connection with my partner or ending a friendship. At the end of the day, I want to be on the path of what is, not on the road of what I hope something is or will become. I value seeing clearly.

So that's what this episode is about, in a nutshell. 

Thank you for your presence today.

Gratitude is such a game-changer. I have found the practice of gratitude to create the kind of openings in life that it's hard not to turn toward its way. Join me for this BONUS episode where I invite you to pause and take a moment for yourself. Take a moment to reflect on where gratitude may be present in your life, or perhaps where gratitude may benefit from being present. Too often we go, go, and go that we forget to slow down and reflect; we forget to give ourselves but a few moments for ourselves. Join me in this extra episode as we turn our attention on gratitude. 

Thank you for your time and your presence.

Deep gratitude,

What happens when we choose not to pause and look within in order to see ourselves and our lives more clearly? Well, for certain we are destined to miss a truth that needs to be seen. We may also cause harm that could have been avoided. Then there is the likelihood that we will repeat patterns of behavior that keep us operating from a place that's lower than our highest form. It's like living from the small self rather than the true self. You know what else? This impacts all aspects of our lives, from our intimate relationships to how we show up at work or with friends, or our children. It happens when we aren't mindful to slow down, to pause, and to investigate ourselves, and it's usually unconscious. When we bypass the pause and carry on as if all is as it should or needs to be, we miss out. Greatly. 

Let's talk about bypassing. Let's talk about how NOT bypassing requires an effort of us that we may not wish to exert. Oh, but when we do! That is the real gift. When we exert that effort for ourselves, toward ourselves, and with ourselves, we create a reality that feels more holding, supportive, and connective. I'll start by sharing a bit and perhaps you'll share, too.

Thanks for being here. Always.

Deep gratitude,

Welcome to On the Path, your weekly podcast dedicated to exploring life, accessing truth, and finding clarity amidst the complexities we all face. I'm Kissiah Young, your grateful host. I come to you from the distinct worlds of hospice and palliative care, and the grit and beauty of death and dying. The reality of impermanence has cultivated in me a deep appreciation for the profound insights and transformative power of practicing clear seeing and living from deep truth. 

In this podcast, we will delve into topics like death, dying, divorce, relationships, communication, repair, parenting, friendships, and forgiveness. You name it. Our conversations will likely reflect an inner spirituality, shining a light on how pausing and seeing clearly can help us navigate life with greater ease and authenticity. Each episode is recorded in the moment, completely unscripted. I prefer life experienced without filter.

I invite you to interact with me. Let's connect and talk about what's going on with us in this, our human experience. Let's grow ourselves forward with truth and clarity. Thank you for being here on this path with me.

Deep gratitude,

Kissiah
