    Why Do We Choose Things We KNOW Aren’t Good for Us?

    Why do we keep choosing things we know aren’t good for us? I recently found myself frustrated watching someone I care about make decisions that didn’t seem to align with what they said they wanted for their life. And then I had to turn the mirror back on myself: I’ve done the exact same thing. I’ve chosen instant gratification while knowing it wasn’t taking me where I wanted to go. I’ve stayed connected to things that felt good in the moment even when they didn’t align with what I wanted long-term. And that realization challenged something in me: Bad decisions don’t automatically equal poor character. Sometimes they simply reveal our humanity. In this episode of Kerah Speaks, I’m talking about our different emotional operating systems—why something that feels draining and pointless to one person can feel exciting, comforting, or stimulating to another. I’m also exploring the difference between knowing better and actually having the capacity, desire, or readiness to choose differently. Maybe the better question isn’t: “You know better, so why are you doing this?” Maybe it’s: “What is this giving you right now that’s powerful enough to compete with what you say you want later?” This conversation is about self-awareness, instant gratification, alignment, judgment, accountability, and learning to extend the same humanity to other people that we give ourselves. 💬 Reflection question: What have you continued choosing even though you knew it wasn’t taking you where you ultimately wanted to go?

    You Wanted Them Back… Until You Healed

    Sometimes healing means accepting that not everyone gets access to the version of you that exists now. There was a time when I held onto relationships because of their possibility. I kept trying to extract clarity from ambiguity, believing that if I stayed longer, explained myself better, adjusted enough, or made myself smaller, eventually I would get the relationship I believed was underneath it all. But eventually, I had to stop looking at what could be and start accepting the evidence of what people actually chose to do. In this episode of Kerah Speaks, I’m talking about closing the door for good—not from anger, bitterness, or revenge, but from a healed place. We’re talking about the difference between regret, accountability, and transformation, why time alone doesn’t repair relationships, the emotional labor of helping someone process why they lost you, and learning to create your own closure when the final conversation never comes. Sometimes you can genuinely wish someone healing, growth, love, and a beautiful life—and still decide: You don’t get to come back. Because forgiveness doesn’t always require reconnection. And growth doesn’t always restore what our previous choices cost us. 🎙️ Kerah SpeaksFaithful. Healed.

    Build the Room Yourself | The Calling Series Ep. 14 ft. Maria Hayes

    YouTube Description What happens when the ending of one relationship becomes the beginning of everything you were supposed to build? In this episode of Kerah Speaks: The Calling Series, I sit down with Maria Hayes, a producer, creative director, writer, speaker, musician, entrepreneur, and founder of the Colga Fashion Council, to talk about what can happen when life forces you into a season you never planned for. Maria shares how the ending of a friendship became a catalyst for transformation—pushing her to start her own brand, create music, step into spaces she never imagined herself in, and ultimately begin creating opportunities for other people. We talk about heartbreak, courage, creativity, purpose, and what it means to stop waiting for someone else to give you access and build the room yourself. Sometimes the thing that breaks apart in your life is also the thing that pushes you toward a version of yourself you may have never discovered otherwise.

You Might Be Out of Alignment.Have you ever been sitting somewhere and thought, **“I hate this”**—but couldn’t fully explain why?After attending a conference for work, I noticed something about myself: my body reacts when I’m in spaces that lack intentionality, purpose, or meaningful connection. That realization made me reflect on the other places in my life where I’ve felt that same restlessness.Sometimes we assume we’re bored, unmotivated, or just ready for something new. But what if the discomfort is telling us something deeper?In this episode of **Kerah Speaks**, I’m reflecting on purpose, alignment, listening to your body, and recognizing when a space may no longer fit who you’re becoming.If you’ve ever felt restless in a job, friendship, relationship, environment, or season of your life, this conversation is for you.💬 **Question for you:** How does your body tell you when something no longer feels aligned?Subscribe for more conversations about faith, healing, purpose, creativity, and becoming.**Kerah Speaks***Faithful.

    Your Calling Will Cost the Old You | The Calling Series Ep. 13 ft. Mystori

    Your Calling Will Cost the Old You | The Calling Series Ep. 13 ft. Mystori What happens when walking in your calling requires you to let go of the person you used to be? In this episode of Kerah Speaks: The Calling Series, I sit down with recording artist Mystori for a conversation about faith, music, surrender, refinement, and the story behind her new single, “FIRE.” Mystori opens up about creating music that reflects her relationship with God while developing a sound that doesn't necessarily fit into the traditional gospel box. We talk about what it means for music to become ministry, how her faith influences her artistry, and the inspiration behind some of the most powerful lyrics in FIRE. One lyric in particular became the heart of our conversation: “The old you has got to die.” We explore what it means to be refined, the things we can unknowingly turn into idols, and whether becoming who God has called us to be sometimes requires us to surrender versions of ourselves that can no longer go with us. Because sometimes the calling isn't only about what you're becoming. It's also about what you're willing to leave behind. In this episode, we discuss Mystori's journey as an artist, finding her sound and musical influences, the inspiration behind FIRE, creating faith-centered music outside of traditional gospel, being led by the Holy Spirit creatively, letting go of idols, refinement and surrender, music as ministry, and what it means to allow your gift to become your testimony. 🎙️ Guest: Mystori🎵 New Single: FIRE 🎥 Subscribe to Kerah Speaks for more conversations with creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, and visionaries about the purpose and calling behind what they do. 🌐 KerahSpeaks.com If this conversation speaks to you, LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE.

    What Is It Like to Experience YOU?

    What if, in someone else’s story, **you’re the person who caused the hurt?**We spend a lot of time talking about the people who traumatized us, betrayed us, disappointed us, or left scars behind. But how often do we stop and ask: **What is it like to experience me?**In this episode of *Kerah Speaks*, I’m talking about the uncomfortable side of accountability—the possibility that we have caused deep hurt in other people’s lives, even when we didn’t intend to.Sometimes people move through life carrying their own unhealed wounds while desperately trying to connect, leaving hurt and chaos behind them along the way. And sometimes, instead of confronting what happened, we soften the story: *“We just didn’t work out.” “We grew apart.” “It wasn’t meant to be.”*But what if there’s more to the story?Acknowledging that you hurt someone doesn’t mean you’re a horrible person. It means you’re willing to see yourself clearly enough to grow.Maybe the question isn’t only **“Who hurt me?”**Maybe sometimes we need to ask:**Who did I hurt?What did it feel like to love me?What scars did I leave behind?What is it like to experience ME?**🎙️ *Kerah Speaks*#KerahSpeaks #WhatIsItLikeToExperienceYou #SelfReflection #Accountability #SelfAwareness #HealingJourney #EmotionalHealing #PersonalGrowth #InnerWork #Relationships #BreakingCycles #Growth #Healing #TraumaHealing #SelfAccountability
