Uhh... FIA

Fia shares personal experiences of being picked on and explains that bullying often reflects the bully’s insecurity and self-hate. She encourages listeners—especially youth still growing—to give themselves grace, stay humble and kind, and focus on peace, freedom, and happiness rather than popularity, materialism, or harmful coping like drugs and alcohol. Fia emphasizes developing the “fruit of the spirit” (love, peace, faithfulness, joy, goodness, gentleness, patience, self-control, and kindness), remembering that everyone has a different story, and not judging people based on assumptions. She notes bullies can come from family or social circles, urges calling out harmful behavior, finding the right supportive rooms, and believing in your worthwhile healing and growing over time.

Fia introduces her podcast to explain why she started it: to help people “walking the tightrope” of suicide and to share who she is and what she believes in. She speaks directly to listeners struggling with depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts, sharing her own history of self-harm, multiple attempts, being told by her father to kill herself, and losing her younger sister. Drawing from growing up on the reservation where suicide and self-harm were shunned, she urges people to take life one night and one day at a time, seek the right support, and remember their presence matters. She describes how affirmations, replacing self-sabotaging thoughts, small daily routines, and gratitude helped her heal, and she encourages especially Native youth to keep going, stand proud, and find purpose.

Fia introduces her podcast, Uh, Fia, and challenges the idea of needing to be the “queen bee,” saying that as adults everyone can be a king or queen by being a good person with pure intentions, empathy, and integrity. She argues that popularity can hide trauma and that many people struggle privately, so listeners should stop chasing attention, take time with life decisions, and choose options that move them toward their goals rather than the first opportunity. Fia encourages being true to yourself, not following the crowd, standing up for what’s right, and surrounding yourself with people who share your values. Using the queen bee and colony as a metaphor, she stresses community and responsible influence, reminds listeners that everyone will have their time to shine in different ways, and urges self-healing, pride in one’s talents, and remembering where you come from.

Fia opens her podcast “Uh, Fia” by reminding listeners that everyone is still growing at different stages of life, including the elderly, and encourages having grace for others while staying true to yourself. She urges people to be the bigger person, use their voice, and not follow the crowd, noting that speaking up can motivate others and that decisions shape who you become. Using examples like giving a homeless person a dollar, she emphasizes humanity, humility, and gratitude for life’s basic blessings. Fia advises choosing friends and environments that align with your goals, recognizing insensitivity and negative intentions, and sometimes using silence while also learning when and how to speak with respect and professionalism. She reflects on losing and finding herself, encourages breaking generational curses, and stresses that there is always a way forward if you keep growing.

Fia opens her podcast by encouraging listeners to give themselves time, breathe, and trust divine timing, especially during healing. She emphasizes that each person’s experience is unique, even among siblings, and urges people not to blame themselves for the past but to choose peace and self-care. She describes healing as both emotional and mental work, including sitting with pain, understanding emotions, and practicing positive self-talk. Fia offers coping suggestions: journal when overthinking, stretch or move when anxious, read when tired, walk when confused, and exercise when sad. She reminds listeners that happiness and “winning” look different for everyone, that character matters more than material things, and that rock bottom can be a starting point. She encourages connecting with the inner child, pursuing purposeful work, caring for mind and body, and trusting that the pain will pass.

Fia opens her podcast by urging listeners to reflect on who they are, where they come from, and how childhood, family, memories, and trauma have shaped them, emphasizing healing, gratitude, and focusing on the “glass half full.” She encourages pursuing any goal with confidence, being a decent human being, and moving in silence until achievements are ready to be revealed. Addressing Native American listeners, she stresses returning to community, honoring land and sacred water, uniting, and using one’s voice to speak truth and protect others. Fia specifically urges girls and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or rape to speak up repeatedly until someone listens, noting frightening, underreported statistics. She calls for stepping away from drugs, alcohol, and negativity, building strength through education and business, and standing “10 toes down” while growing and healing.

Fia opens her podcast by unpacking the phrase “take it with a grain of salt,” warning that people may disguise negativity as kindness—like salt and sugar looking the same but tasting different. She encourages listeners to stay focused on their own path, avoid comparison, and remember that winners focus on winning while losers focus on winners. Fia emphasizes humility, faith, and doing good deeds, framing life as a purpose where “good fruit” matters and helping neighbors is part of following God. She discusses how criticism and jealousy often reflect others’ unresolved issues, the mental battles behind addiction and homelessness, and the importance of community safety, including concerns about missing and murdered Indigenous people. She advises building supportive networks, choosing better influences, and giving yourself time to learn and grow.

Fia welcomes and encourages listeners to walk away from toxic situations—even family—when surrounded by “bad fruit,” emphasizing personal growth, healing, and finding genuine friends. She discusses how unhealed trauma and immaturity can be passed down, how isolation can be mistaken for growth, and why it’s important to build healthy relationships while staying cautious about trust. Fia urges listeners to explore new places, pursue their passions, and believe it’s possible to rise from having little. She advises prioritizing independence and financial stability, suggesting waiting until around 25 to seriously pursue love, and stresses self-respect, resilience through loneliness, speaking up for what’s right, protecting kids, and being a good person while trusting that the right community will come in divine timing

Fia shares a personal, candid podcast episode about domestic violence (DV), urging anyone in abusive relationships to use their voice, hold high standards, and leave when violence becomes a cycle. Drawing from witnessing her father verbally abuse her mother and reflecting on why her mom stayed, she explains how manipulation, fear, and unhealed trauma can keep people stuck, and emphasizes that a “true man” is accountable, soft, and willing to heal rather than become aggressive. She stresses that children notice abuse and won’t see a parent as weak for walking away, and she encourages listeners to seek peace, save up, reach out for help, and use resources like police and women’s shelters. She also calls for women to support each other, for families to stop hiding abuse, and for teaching kids respect and healthy love early.

Fia opens her podcast episode “Make Originality a Thing Again,” arguing that AI and social media are making people forget to be themselves and urging listeners to embrace creativity, use their talents, and pursue their dreams despite criticism. She encourages solving problems through purpose-driven small businesses, supporting community over comparison, and stepping up to help address local issues. Speaking as a Native American, she emphasizes remembering songs, dances, stories, and ties to the land, and calls for building communities and showing responsibility and capability. Fia also stresses humility, learning from others, letting kids choose their own paths, cutting off unsupportive people, healing from trauma, and using discipline to turn failures into lessons while working toward freedom, peace, and personal purpose.
