    Mykelti's Interview on Cults to Consciousness

    Mykelti Brown recently sat down with Cults to Consciousness on YouTube to discuss parenting, family dynamics, and the lessons she's taken from growing up in one of reality TV's most unconventional households. We break down her biggest takeaways, compare them against what we've watched play out on Sister Wives, and unpack the generational patterns that continue to ripple through the Brown family. It's a deep dive into Mykelti's perspective, what resonated with us, what raised questions, and how growing up in the Brown family shaped the parent she is today.

    Carly's Court Ep. 1: Catherine of Aragon

    This is a very special, slightly terrifying milestone: my first ever completely solo episode. I’m not going to lie to you, sitting in front of this microphone without Corey to pass the mic to when my brain short-circuits has me a little nervous. But nevertheless, she persisted... Today, we are dispelling the historical myth that Catherine of Aragon was just a sad, desperate, rejected wife who spent her days crying into her embroidery while Henry VIII swiped right on Anne Boleyn. This episode covers her journey from a childhood living in Spanish military command tents with her badass mother, Queen Isabella, to her last power move from her deathbed. Catherine was a calculated, highly educated, powerhouse of a Queen who refused to let a man gaslight her out of her crown 👑. Thank you guys so much for entertaining my obsession with the Tudors and supporting the show! Carly ❤️ Find All Our Links in One Place: beacons.ai/survivingpod
