  • Relationship Reset: Love Me Don't Manage Me

    🚨 NEW EPISODE DROP 🚨
    "Love Me, Don’t Manage Me: Emotional Labor, Control, and the Need to Feel Safe" is now live on RISEUP: Voices From the Frontlines.

    In trauma-impacted relationships, love can get tangled up with control. We manage moods. We track tone. We shape-shift to avoid conflict—then wonder why we feel disconnected.

    This week, Krista Fee pulls back the curtain on emotional labor, relational safety, and the invisible weight one partner often carries in silence. If you’ve ever felt like the emotional anchor for everyone around you, this episode will hit hard—and offer hope.

  • Grief is Not a Straight Line: Honoring the waves after suicide

    🕯️RISEUP Voices From the Frontlines: Grief Edition


    🎙️ “Grief Is Not a Straight Line: Navigating the Waves After Suicide Loss”


    🎧 Listen now: Wherever you get your favorite podcast!

    Grief doesn’t move in stages. It crashes like waves. And when we lose someone to suicide, those waves carry more than sorrow—they carry silence, shame, guilt, and rage.

    In this deeply honest episode of RISEUP Voices From the Frontlines, Krista Fee explores:

    • The myth of linear grief
    • Suicide loss and its unique emotional terrain
    • How grief changes when it's a child, spouse, parent, or sibling
    • The psychology and neuroscience of healthy grieving
    • Making space for all emotions—including anger
    • How to connect with others, even from a distance

    • 🕊️ Say their name. Feel what you feel. You don’t have to grieve alone.

    • Relationship Edition: Throwaway Love

      Welcome back to RISEUP: Voices from the Frontlines – Relationship Edition, where we turn breakdowns into breakthroughs and help you build connection without combat.

      In this episode, we're flipping the script on today’s “if they wanted to, they would” love culture and digging into the real reason so many couples feel disconnected—it’s not a lack of love, it’s a lack of translation.

      🔥 You’ll hear:

      • Why love can feel invisible when it’s spoken in an unfamiliar language
      • How emotional bids, miscommunication, and unspoken expectations sabotage intimacy
      • A real-world case study from the RISEUP community that turned a quiet marriage around
      • The difference between transactional love and transformational love
      • What science (and the Gottmans) say about turning toward your partner—even in the small stuff
      • Why codependency and control can feel like love, and how to know the difference

      • This is the episode for anyone who’s ever asked, “Do they even care?” but deep down suspects the answer might be more complicated than “yes” or “no.”

        💣 Spoiler Alert: Sometimes, the problem isn’t absence—it’s translation.

      • Rooted Resilient and unapologetic

        “WORTH: Rooted, Resilient, and Unapologetically You” 🔥

        I was born the throwaway daughter of a woman trapped in human trafficking — silenced before I ever had a voice, taught that survival was the goal and that "no" was dangerous.

        It took becoming a mother myself to find my scream.


        To stop shrinking.


        To start fighting.


        To RISE.

        This episode is more than a keynote. It's a battlecry for every woman who's ever felt like she had to earn her worth or apologize for her power.

        Inside this episode, I’ll challenge you to:

        ⚡ Reclaim your core values


        ⚡ Say “no” without guilt


        ⚡ Take up space like you built the damn room


        ⚡ Speak your truth even if it shakes the walls

        👉 Listen now. Cry if you need to. But don’t stop there.

        If you're ready to go deeper — to finally claim the life you actually want — I’m offering a free connection call where we can talk about what rising looks like for YOU.

        🔗 Book Now

        I dare you to show up.

        Because the world needs your fire.


        And you? You were never meant to live like you’re optional.

        ✅ Real-life parenting DOs & DON’Ts


        ✅ Research-backed insight on building grit


        ✅ Why kindness ≠ access
