  • Vulnerability Fatigue
    May 30 2025

    You’ve done the work. You’ve been open. You’ve let people in.

    But what happens when all that vulnerability starts to feel… exhausting?


    In this episode of Kickin’ It: Conversations with Krys, we explore the emotional toll of constantly showing up with an open heart—only to be met with silence, inconsistency, or dismissal. It’s not that you’re closed off—it’s that you’re tired of being the only one emotionally present.


    Through real talk, tender reflection, and a dash of humor, Krys breaks down vulnerability fatigue: where it comes from, how it shows up, and what to do when your softness starts to feel like a burden.


    🛋️ Topics include:

    • What it costs to be the “emotionally available one”

    • Why you might be choosing emotional safety over connection

    • How to honor your openness without overextending it

    • Setting boundaries without building walls


    💭 Journal Prompt: What does it cost you to keep showing up open—and how can you care for that part of yourself?

  • What’s Keeping You From Receiving the Love You Say You Want?
    May 30 2025

    You say you want real love—soft, secure, healing. But when it shows up, why does it feel so hard to accept?


    In this episode of Kickin’ It: Conversations with Krys, we dive into what might be standing between you and the love you claim to want. Through anonymous listener confessions and personal reflection, Krys explores the quiet ways we dodge intimacy—rescue fantasies, emotional withdrawal, fear of being truly seen, and mistaking endurance for love.


    🛋️ Topics include:

    • The desire to be rescued vs. building healthy partnership

    • Pulling away at the first sign of conflict

    • Ghosting before you’re ghosted

    • Learning that boundaries are a form of love, too


    It’s honest. It’s funny. And it’s a gentle nudge toward emotional clarity.


    💭 Journal Prompt: If safe, stable love walked in today—would you actually know how to receive it?

  • Who Taught You To Love?
    May 16 2025

    In this episode, Krys explores how our earliest lessons on love - from home, school, church, and childhood friendships - still shape how we show up in relationships today. From abandonment wounds to performance-based worth, we unpack the quiet messages we’ve carried for years - and how to start unlearning them.


    Journal Prompt:

    Who taught you to love?

    And what are you unlearning… so you can love better now?
