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!

Send a textHealing does not make you unworthy of love.In this special free episode of the RISE podcast, Keya McClain-Goodwin explores a powerful truth many people struggle to believe: you do not have to be completely healed, perfect, or finished with your personal growth to deserve love.Through reflection, personal insight, and grounded wisdom, Keya discusses how healing and love can exist at the same time, and why waiting until you are “fully healed” can keep you from experiencing connection, support, and genuine care.This episode invites listeners to release the pressure of perfection and embrace love as a space where growth, honesty, and healing can coexist.If this conversation resonated with you, you're invited to continue the journey inside the RISE subscription series, where we explore healing, self-trust, relationships, and personal evolution with depth and honesty.Subscribe to access the full RISE podcast experience.Support the show

BachelorClues and PaceCase analyze explosive clips from Reality Steve and What's the Reality as Chris's ex releases voicemail recordings, discusses a chaotic Thanksgiving phone call, and reveals eyebrow-raising claims about $380K in consumer debt. Meanwhile, Keya explains how Love Is Blind edited out major political dealbreakers — including her walking out on Trump voters in the pods. We break down producer manipulation, casting red flags, financial flex culture, and what these revelations mean for the evolving game of reality dating. The Dark Lord may loom large, but the edit may be the true villain.Subscribe to Game of Roses: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrFYM8CvKhDvV8OLfnhvP0A/?sub_confirmation=1Patreon: https://patreon.com/gameofrosesMerch: https://gameofroses.orgListen on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/gameofrosesListen on Spotify: http://bit.ly/spotifygameofroses Hosted on Acast.

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?

For the past ten years, her herbal focus has been on women's health and hormonal transitions— from menarche to menopause— using plant-based remedies, seasonal wellness coaching, and lei-making as a living healing art. Listen in as Keya and Jiling discuss: Apprenticing with the plants Hawaiian lei and hula traditions How lei-making relates to herbal medicine Botanomancy and how to play with Keya's newest project, the "Lāʻau: Hawaiian Flora" card game and book of monographs Visit Keya Kai Guimarães at:

The hosts recap a whirlwind week of back-to-back events in L.A., celebrating standout competitions, emerging brands, and generous mentorship from seasoned founders at Nosh Live and BevNET Live.

Competition BTS. Mochi Magic. A "Dirty" Brand. – The hosts reflect on the high level of professionalism from their teams, enthusiastic attendee feedback, and the inspiring presence of seasoned founders who generously mentored early-stage entrepreneurs. They highlight BevNET's New Beverage Showdown and its winner protein coffee brand Projo, and the Nosh Pitch Slam, won by BFY gummy brand Rotten Candy. The team also celebrates memorable founder presentations, global flavors, and emerging brands across food and beverage. Ray recalls celebrity moments that added extra buzz, from Ryan Phillippe's surprise appearance as a beverage enthusiast to Khloé Kardashian sampling products backstage. He also praises an upstart hangover-recovery brand and a Portland-based RTD cocktail company, and a new line of cinnamon drinks.

Prebiotic cola, plant-based (and AI-inspired?) pulled chicken and protein-packed marshmallows. The hosts crack open Pepsi's new prebiotic cola and discuss whether a stevia-sweetened "functional" soda can win over classic cola fans. They also dig into Just Meat's big win at Walmart and what it says about the future of meat analogs, and why protein marshmallows might actually work in your next s'more. Show notes: 0:25: Rotten Roaches. The BevNET Bowls. Cloying & Fibrous. Who's Eating This Stuff? S'More, Please. – Jacqui explains why there is a bright red "biohazard" bag on her desk and the hosts joke about modern marketing tactics. They pivot to a preview of the upcoming NOSH Live, BevNET Live and  Brewbound Live events, highlighting opportunities for founders to meet retailers, investors, and strategic partners. They sample PepsiCo's newly launched Pepsi Prebiotic – a lower-calorie, stevia-sweetened soda that comes in classic cola and cherry vanilla flavors – and opine on the minimalist white cans and whether Pepsi has clearly communicated the benefits. 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. Ray introduces Primal Sweets' protein marshmallows, which contain 25 grams of protein per bag and no sugar, and Albero D'oro cocktail cherries, before Jacqui presents Flour + Water's artisanal pasta, and Mike praises Hiyo's new pineapple coconut "social tonic."

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.

Today, we are tackling the topic of swelling, a symptom I often encounter in horses.Swelling, particularly in the udder or sheath, is usually accompanied by extremity swelling (peripheral edema) due to fluid pooling in the legs. Visible swelling is a common concern for horse owners. It is never a good sign, especially if it becomes chronic.The Lymphatic SystemWhen I see fluid retention in horses, I think about the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system maintains the fluid balance between the blood and tissues, excreting toxins and supporting the immune system. Fluid Retention Many owners fail to recognize fluid retention in their horses, mistaking it for weight gain. But they usually realize it when they notice the swollen or puffy tissues. Once these horses get put on a proper metabolic program, the swelling reduces, and they lose significant weight.Factors Contributing to Fluid RetentionFluid retention in horses can be the result of various factors. Insulin resistance and metabolic issues are common, but owners should consider thyroid health, liver function, and lymphatic efficiency. Damaged capillaries due to advanced insulin resistance can cause fluid leakage, and protein deficiencies can also result in fluid buildup, presenting a pot-bellied or bloated appearance.Movement is KeyA big reason for fluid retention is a lack of movement. Horses must move as their lymphatic system relies on movement to function properly. Their hooves play a vital role in circulating blood and lymph, and when horses stand still for long periods, the fluid retention worsens. So movement is essential, whether through exercise or simply encouraging them to walk around in their environment.Diet and Sugar ContentSugar content in a horse's diet, especially from grass, plays a significant role in fluid retention. Too much sugar leads to glycogen storage, which causes water retention. By controlling the sugar intake and increasing fiber, protein, and healthy fats, the swelling will reduce, and metabolic function will improve. However, diet alone will not solve the problem if the horse does not move enough.Allergies and Protein DeficiencyIf swelling persists despite addressing movement and sugar levels, it is worth exploring allergies or protein deficiencies. Sometimes, horses react to particular types of hay or even alfalfa, which may lead to inflammation and fluid retention. Ensuring a balanced protein intake is essential, as low protein can cause fluid to pool in the belly area.Stress and Hormonal FactorsStress affects insulin and cortisol levels, potentially damaging capillaries and leading to fluid retention. Movement is a great way to reduce stress and improve circulation, and exercise is a critical factor in managing insulin resistance and overall health.B6 and Magnesium SupplementsOnce the diet and movement of the horse are optimized, supplements can help address any remaining fluid retention. Vitamin B6 is my go-to, as it helps reduce fluid retention by acting as a diuretic and improving kidney function. Magnesium can also be helpful, but B6 is usually the most effective supplement.ConclusionFluid retention in horses is a common issue and often a sign of underlying problems like poor circulation, high blood sugar, or nutritional imbalances. Movement, diet, and stress management are the keys to addressing it, with supplements like B6 providing additional support if needed.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my

On today's episode we explore one of the most important yet often overlooked aspects of bariatric surgery—the emotional journey. While many focus on the physical transformation, it's the emotional and mental changes that often determine long-term success. Bariatric surgery isn't just about losing weight; it's about reshaping your relationship with food and developing healthier ways to manage emotions.The Emotional Impact of Bariatric SurgeryWe'll start by diving into the emotional impact of bariatric surgery. Many people use food as a way to cope with stress, sadness, or boredom. But after surgery, that emotional crutch isn't available anymore. This shift can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, or even what's known as "bariatric grief." In this episode, we discuss what it's like to let go of old habits and how to find new ways to handle difficult emotions​.Emotional Eating After Bariatric SurgeryOne of the biggest challenges many people face post-surgery is emotional eating. Although your stomach is smaller and physically can't handle the same amount of food, the emotional triggers that lead to overeating don't just disappear. Emotional eating can show up in new ways, like making bad food choices. We'll talk about how to spot these behaviors early and provide practical tips, such as keeping a food journal and working with a therapist, to address emotional eating head-on​.Mental Health Support is CrucialIn this episode, we also cover why mental health support is so crucial after bariatric surgery. Many people go through a psychological evaluation before surgery, but the real emotional work often needs to happen afterward. We'll explore how the adjustment to a new lifestyle can bring up anxiety, fear of weight regain, or feelings of frustration, and how important it is to develop healthy coping strategies. From practicing mindfulness and talking to a therapist to joining support groups, we discuss several ways to manage emotional ups and downs​​.Community is KeyA key theme of today's discussion is the importance of community. Having a strong support system can make all the difference in your post-surgery journey. Whether it's friends, family, or a support group, feeling understood and supported plays a huge role in staying on track emotionally. We'll share how connecting with others who are going through similar experiences can help you feel less alone and offer practical advice on building your own support network​.Emotional Ramifications of Weight RegainLastly, we'll touch on the reality of weight regain and why it's important not to view it as a failure. Weight can fluctuate, but it's part of the process. By focusing on your emotional well-being and continuing to build healthy habits, you'll be better equipped to handle any bumps in the road without turning back to old, unhealthy patterns​.So, whether you're thinking about bariatric surgery, in the early stages of recovery, or years post-op, this episode offers valuable insights into managing your emotional health and navigating the mental challenges that come with such a life-changing procedure. Tune in for a conversation that will help you embrace your new, healthier life while taking care of your emotional well-being along the way!
