You Stickin' With That Podcast

EPISODE 48: YOU CAN HAVE BOTH

Who decided life has to be one thing or the other?

You can be strong and still cry. You can love someone and disagree with them. You can be grateful and still want more. And you can have a bad moment without having a bad day.

This week on You Stickin’ With That?, Stephie K explores the beauty of holding two truths at once, the emotions we’ve been taught to hide, and why learning to feel our feelings without letting them run the show might just change everything.

Because if I can’t control my own emotions, how am I ever going to run a country someday? LOL.

Maybe the secret isn’t choosing one or the other. Maybe it’s realizing you can have both.

EPISODE 47 — I FORGAVE YOU. NOW WHAT?

What happens when you’ve forgiven someone… but the hurt still shows up in your life?

After 25 years of marriage, a friendship betrayal I never saw coming, and a growing list of lessons learned the hard way, I’ve discovered something.

Forgiveness and healing aren’t necessarily the same thing.

We can forgive someone and still struggle to trust. We can move forward and still wonder what went wrong.

This week, we’re talking about the apologies that never came, the conversations we wish we’d had, and how to stop letting yesterday’s disappointments make tomorrow’s decisions.

With a little humor, a lot of heart, and some very personal stories.

You don’t have to keep hurting to prove that something mattered.

EPISODE 46 — THE KIND OF RICH MONEY CAN’T BUY

What if the richest parts of our lives have nothing to do with money?

This week, Stephie Kay explores the kind of wealth you can’t deposit in a bank—meaningful connections, unexpected kindness, laughter, love, and the little moments that make life extraordinary.

Because a beautiful life isn’t necessarily about having more. Sometimes it’s about recognizing just how much we already have.

Where do we draw the line—and what happens when somebody else doesn’t see it where we do?

This week, Stephie talks dating, friendship, kindness, boundaries, wild horses in Montana, strangers who show up when someone needs them, and a tree that refused to stay down.

Because sometimes the line protects us. Sometimes it challenges us. And sometimes we need to ask ourselves why we drew it in the first place.

TRIGGERED… AGAIN.

What do a baby elephant rescue, Noah’s Ark, Hurricane Helene, Halloween, a Devil Rays shirt, and searching for the truth have in common?

Apparently… this episode.

We’re talking about the things that make us stop, question what we think we know, dig a little deeper — and sometimes change our minds.

Because the first answer isn’t always the whole story.

EPISODE 43 — THIS MIGHT BE THE MOMENT

How do you know when you’re standing in a moment that matters?

Usually… you don’t.

This week, a 3 a.m. dance session, a wrong address, a rainy detour, a stranger who needs air—and a photograph from a 1987 high-school detention—have me thinking about the moments we don’t recognize until years later.

Sometimes the big moment isn’t what happened.

Sometimes it’s who was sitting beside you when it did.

Maybe you don’t need to figure out your entire purpose today.

Maybe the better question is:

What does this moment need from me?

Because this might be the moment.

And you might not know why for another forty years.

One correction I caught while checking: Clint Schneider’s fire actually occurred September 11, not September 18. September 18 was when some of the reporting appeared.

What’s still sitting unfinished in your life?

The project. The paperwork. The conversation. The promise you made to yourself. The thing you keep moving from one week to the next while telling yourself, “I’ll get to it.”

This week on You Stickin’ With That?, Stephie Kay is talking about FINISH—and why unfinished things can take up a whole lot more space than we realize.

But finishing doesn’t always mean pushing harder until you cross some imaginary finish line. Sometimes you need help. Sometimes your part is only one piece of something bigger. Sometimes “done” needs to beat perfect. And sometimes the thing you really need to finish… is carrying something that no longer belongs in your life.

Along the way, Stephie Kay shares stories from Dallas, a few encounters that definitely tested the Mr. 100 list , and some remarkable real-life examples of people who kept going when finishing looked very different than they expected.

Because maybe the goal isn’t to finish everything.

Maybe it’s to finally decide what deserves to be finished—and what deserves to be released.

Finish it or release it. But stop carrying it indefinitely.

Episode 41 — Is Your Real Life Getting Your Leftovers?

We give our best energy to work, obligations, plans, and everybody who needs something from us—and then wonder why there’s so little left for the life we’re actually trying to build.

This week, we’re talking about real-life leftovers: the dreams we keep saving for “someday,” the people who get whatever energy remains, and the life we swear we’ll start living when the timing is finally perfect.

Spoiler alert: perfect isn’t coming.

From kintsugi and its beautiful golden cracks to the curveballs that completely rearrange our plans, Episode 41 is about using what’s still in your hands instead of waiting for some magical Monday.

Maybe you don’t need a whole new life.

Maybe you just need to stop giving your real one the leftovers.

EPISODE 40 — THIS ISN’T WHAT I ORDERED

What happens when absolutely nothing goes according to plan… and somehow it turns into a pretty great day?

In Episode 40, Stephie Kay shares a day that included a hair emergency, a Chia Pet, a mission from God, two horseback-riding companies, five horses for six people, mosquitoes, wet dress, Thanksgiving dinner with strangers… and, naturally, a magician.

Because apparently once a day goes far enough off the rails, somebody just throws in a magician.

Sometimes life doesn’t give us what we ordered. The question is: are we so focused on what was supposed to happen that we miss what’s actually happening?

What happens when you realize the person you called a friend may have had a completely different definition of friendship?

In Episode 39, “I Thought We Were Friends,” I’m talking about the unspoken expectations we bring into friendships—loyalty, boundaries, trust, showing up, and what happens when words and actions stop matching.

Sometimes nobody has to be the villain. Sometimes two people simply weren’t in the same friendship.

And sometimes the question isn’t “Who was wrong?” It’s “Is this still working?”
