IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING AND NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE, CALL OR TEXT 988 (SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE) ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES, US TERRITORIES AND CANADAWHO THIS EPISODE HELPS: People struggling with grief, depression, suicidal thoughts, or anyone searching for an authentic path to healing after loss.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GET: An honest conversation about grief recovery, mental health, faith, therapy, and how people can begin untangling grief in their own way.DESCRIPTION: In this powerful episode of Grief Is Not A Dirty Word, Nick Gaylord speaks with author, poet, and grief advocate Keya McClain about her journey through profound loss, depression, and multiple suicide attempts. After losing the uncle she considered her father at nineteen, Keya struggled for decades to find healing. When traditional grief advice and religious expectations failed to help, she began searching for a more authentic path forward. Through therapy, journaling, walking, and deep self-reflection, she discovered that grief does not follow stages and healing cannot be forced. Together, Nick and Keya explore grief myths, mental health, spiritual identity, and the courage required to rebuild a life after loss. Their conversation is both deeply honest and unexpectedly hopeful for anyone navigating grief.THIS EPISODE ANSWERS• Why do common grief phrases like “they're in a better place” sometimes hurt more than help? • What happens when traditional grief advice or religious support doesn't help you heal? • Can therapy, journaling, and nature actually help untangle long-term grief and depression? • Why do the “five stages of grief” fail many people who are grieving deeply? • How can someone begin healing after years of suicidal thoughts and emotional pain?KEY TAKEAWAYS• Grief does not follow stages and healing is rarely linear. • Well-intentioned grief advice can sometimes invalidate real emotional pain. • Authentic healing often begins when people reconnect with themselves. • Simple practices like journaling and walking can create powerful emotional breakthroughs. • People struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts are not alone and help exists.CONTACT KEYA!

In episode two of Ohio, Daisy doesn't know the difference between nail glue and eyelash glue, and Tyler and Keya. Ellyn and Daisy prove to have very bad taste in men when they still don't think the conversation between Emma and Steven about sex was THE WORST THING EVER. Mike was a preemie, so he knows what struggle is. Kevan is the most boring man on the planet. Jordan needs deodorant. And Amber knows how to WORK. THOSE. ANGLES. GIRL!
Is love blind? Apparently, it's not. In this episode, Shelby and Laura review Love Is Blind Season 10 Episodes 1-9, the newest season based in Ohio! We analyze all the couples that made it out of the pods and debate who will actually make it down the altar. Heads up -- we think most of the couples shouldn't get married. We discuss how the Season 10 men are kind of the worst and how there are so many women who deserve better (classic). Shelby and Laura debate who is the worst man of the season is: Crossfit Chris, Unemployed Soccer Coach Alex, or "never dated a woman of color" Devontae. We also laugh over "Ohio Rizz" and the messy Black love triangle between Kevon, Keya, and Tyler. We'll have an episode on the final episodes of Season 10, too, so make sure to tune in for our thoughts on how this season ends! Interested in more Love Is Blind content?

The hosts crack open Pepsi's new prebiotic cola and discuss whether a stevia-sweetened "functional" soda can win over classic cola fans.

The hosts then discuss JUST Meat's newly launched plant-based pulled chicken, which is now available in four flavors at 3,000 Walmart stores, which sparks a debate about whether mainstream shoppers truly want meat analogs, and how clean-label concerns are shaping the category. Shifting gears, Ray highlights news that BeatBox Beverages – the colorful, party-forward, wine-based cocktail brand – is rumored to be an acquisition target by AB InBev in a deal reportedly worth around $700 million.

Send a textIn this episode, Keya McClain explores the power and complexity of honest communication—what it takes to speak truth without harm, to listen without defensiveness, and to protect your peace without silencing yourself.Once a woman who communicated primarily through her pen, Keya reflects on her evolution into someone who now stands confidently in her voice. She shares how healing, self-awareness, and boundary work transformed the way she shows up in conversations, relationships, and moments of conflict. This episode examines when honesty builds connection, when silence becomes self-protection, and how emotional intelligence allows us to communicate with both clarity and care.This is not a conversation about winning arguments—it's about cultivating understanding, honoring yourself, and choosing authenticity over performance. Honest communication, as Keya reminds us, is not just about what we say, but how aware, grounded, and intentional we are when we say it.Speak with love. Stand in truth. Protect your peace.Support the show

Send a textIn the final chapter of this four-part series, Keya McClain centers what healing actually looks like after betrayal—not reconciliation for appearance's sake, not forced forgiveness, and not silence disguised as peace. This episode is about integration: taking everything that was revealed and choosing a way forward rooted in self-respect, discernment, and emotional truth.Keya reflects on what it means to release attachment without hatred, to honor grief without becoming consumed by it, and to redefine sisterhood in ways that feel safe, reciprocal, and aligned. This is where boundaries are no longer reactive but embodied. Where clarity replaces confusion. Where self-worth no longer requires external validation.Episode 4 is not about closing a chapter neatly—it's about standing firmly in who you've become because of it.This isn't about bitterness. It's about sovereignty. It's about intentional connection. It's about becoming whole.Support the show
Send a textIn Episode 3, Keya McClain reaches the turning point—the moment where pain can no longer be ignored, minimized, or rationalized away.This episode centers on recognition: recognizing patterns that once felt familiar but were never safe, recognizing how grief exposed the cost of staying connected to what continuously harmed her, and recognizing that endurance is not the same as loyalty. Keya reflects on the emotional toll of fractured sisterhood, the quiet self-betrayals made in the name of belonging, and the clarity that arrived when she stopped explaining her pain and started honoring it.Episode 3 is where grief deepens, illusions fall away, and the work becomes internal. It's about sitting with the truth long enough to let it change you—without rushing to forgiveness, reconciliation, or resolution.This isn't about bitterness. It's about awareness. It's about choosing self-respect over survival. It's about becoming whole.Support the show
Send a textIn Episode 2 of this four-part series, Keya McClain moves deeper into the emotional terrain of fractured sisterhood and family betrayal—where loyalty becomes complicated, trust is quietly violated, and survival instincts are mistaken for strength.This episode explores how early wounds shape the way we seek connection as adults, including the pull toward spaces and relationships that promise empowerment but lack true safety. Keya reflects on why male friendships often felt more secure, how grief exposed the cost of emotional self-abandonment, and the moment she realized that staying connected was no longer synonymous with staying aligned.This conversation is not about blaming others—it's about recognizing patterns, honoring discernment, and choosing self-worth over attachment. Episode 2 is where awareness sharpens, boundaries begin to form, and healing shifts from endurance to intention.This isn't about bitterness. It's about clarity. It's about alignment. It's about becoming whole.Support the show

Keya on Steve Harvey FM writes… My dog Martha is super friendly with everyone… except my boyfriend. Every time he comes over, she growls, hides, or stares him down like a furry little bodyguard. At first, we laughed it off, but now it’s got me thinking. My boyfriend says it’s just a phase, but part of me wonders if Tues. 5-20--25 my dog’s picking up on something I’m not seeing. Should I trust my instincts? Or Martha’s? Derrick on Steve Harvey FM writes… My girlfriend’s habit of ordering delivery food has me rethinking our future. We moved in six months ago, and she orders food a minimum of four times a week…that I know of. I know when you live with someone you find out what they’re really like. I asked her about this habit of hers, and she just rolled her eyes. I’d rather spend that money on real food and maybe some cooking classes we could take together. Is it completely wrong of me to see this as a potential deal-breaker? Steve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
