The Life of a Firework

We’re jumping back into season 3 with the start of a NEW SERIES! This week I sat down and discussed REEL STRIKE APPAREL with small business owner David Robinson. You can find out more about the young entrepreneur and his business on all form of social media @reelstrikeoutdoors.

Today Kaylee sat down with one of her oldest friends and one of her newest friends as they discussed the magic and messy of long distance friendship... and even the near by relationships we unintentionally experience distance in. There’s a lot of joy, but also an lot of vulnerability and honesty about regret and “if I could do it over” moments in this episode. So get a glass of water (stay hydrated), grab your journal (because you’re gonna want notes) and come sit on the couch with your three friends.

Bittersweet is a good word to describe what life has looked like for everyone this year. For me it feels like a good way to express most my post grad experience. But as much as I am inclined to focus on the negatives I know that I wouldn’t trade the heartbreak for anything... if it meant losing all the joy in between.

In this episode I don’t necessarily apologize for but do explain for the year long hiatus, and we dive into what a year of not knowing what to say taught me... starting with my use of staying busy as a completely non-healing bandaid. In this episode I give you my official permission to be more than one thing, and I talk about how staying busy might be our not so subtle cover up for our junk. This episode is candid and a little messy... you can tell I’m getting use to putting together episodes again... but I hope you’ll have the patience to stick with me and gleam something good from it.

It’s the start of season 2!!!!! Since graduating and joining the real world I have heard so many friends in “corporate jobs” ask “is what I’m doing even making an impact? Does it serve the kingdom?” I think many of us have the misconception that only “church jobs” or “non profit work” provide an outlet to serve one another and our community. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. So this week we explore the need for every vocation. Thanks for tuning in!

Whether you're an influencer with 1m followers, or a middle schooler with one best friend, you've probably experienced loneliness. For some it's been for only a moment, for others a season. This week I took the mic solo, to talk about my only struggles with feeling lonely in a crowd, and what I've learned we all need in seasons of loneliness. If you have any questions or prayer requests after this episode please shoot me a message at [email protected], send me an audio message on Anchor, or DM me on the 'gram. (kaymay_23)

FAM! My oldest, funniest, and most genuine friend recorded this special bonus episode with me. In this episode Miranda Jean, or MJ teaches us about DIY gifts, and how sometimes celebrating a friend is way more about experiences than the objects themselves. This is one of my fav episodes to date, and half of that is because of who cohosted. Happy birthday Esteban! ;)

National Leader, and current college kid Landon Calderwood joins us this week to share about the importance of leadership for every community, and how often the most unseen leaders carry the biggest tasks.

For a bonus episode this week, Landon Calderwood interviews host, Kaylee Miller on organizing an completely her first fundraiser hike, and the community that got her there.

After talking about how singles can be intentional with the couples in their life, we turned the tables, and talked with newly married couple Kenzie and Nick Schwartz. Since getting married in September, The Schwartz’s have set a learned a lot and are continuing to learn, how to bless others as a couple, and keep each other in the loop.
