Keyona Speaks Keyona

In today's episode, Kay and I discuss what it means to 'own your story.' We discuss how owning our stories has inspired us to do the work we do in the mental health field. Part of healing is learning how to embrace the unpleasant moments of life and to evolve like the rose between the concrete to live a fuller, healthier life--owning your story helps you do just that.

I've lost 3 family members in close proximity. My husband works in a field that requires him to put his life on the line. So death has been heavily on my mind. My religion teaches me that "every soul shall taste death" and how death is the ultimate promise of this life. Some of us are avoiding this reality and it shows when our family members are forced to create GoFundMe accounts to pay for funerals. But let's really do ourselves and our legacy due diligence and embrace the reality of death and prepare for it.

Most of my life saying no hasn't been easy. In fact, I would say a weak yes when internally I felt a strong no. In this episode I'll be discussing saying yes and meaning yes and saying no and meaning no. Do you need an accountability partner to help you establish boundaries and to gain courage saying no? Coach Keyona here to help you overcome those emotional and mental barriers, unlearn the pathology of sacrificing yourself for the benefit of others, and to gain confidence in honoring your feelings and your no.

Spanking is a means of disciplining but much of our experiences with spanking has actually been domestic violence. There is a pathology within certain families in which spanking is the ONLY means of disciplining and communicating disappointment to children. From the lens of generational trauma, this pathology is perpetuated in the next generation. Have we not considered the negative impact of such type of discipline? In 2010 after a conversation with someone special to me, I wrote a piece of prose about the negative impact of beating children.
