Episode 32 - The Audacity

Episode 32 - The Audacity

EPISODE 32: THE AUDACITY… Public proposals. Viral finger-pointing. Big gestures. Bigger side-eyes. This week on You Stickin’ With That?, I’m diving into two moments that had the internet buzzing: the Empire State proposal story and the now-viral Sophie Cunningham moment. But this episode isn’t just about what happened — it’s about the audacity behind it, the attention economy we’re all living in, and the blurry line between what’s heartfelt and what’s for show. Because somewhere along the way, we stopped wanting a moment and started wanting a production. We’re talking:  grand gestures vs genuine ones  publicity, branding, and performative romance  why people are so drawn to spectacle  and what real love, real protection, and real authenticity actually look like in a world full of noise And of course, I’ve got a Stickin’ Story for you too — featuring a guy I met at a restaurant on the Fourth of July who said something so shocking it honestly deserved its own segment. There could’ve been fireworks inside… but instead, I went outside to watch them over the bay. Because sometimes the audacity isn’t just in the headlines. Sometimes it walks right up to your table.  Episode 32 of You Stickin’ With That? is live now.

Episode 31- The Breakup Letter That Built America

In this special BONUS episode, we’re talking about the Declaration of Independence—America’s original “we’re done here” letter, but with a whole lot more courage and a whole lot more at stake. This wasn’t just a dramatic breakup with King George. It was a formal declaration, a list of grievances, and a risk so big that signing it could have cost these men their lives. In this episode, Stephie Kay breaks down the history, the bravery, and why this document still matters more than most of us realize. Declaration image source: U.S. National Archives.

Episode 30 - More Than A Wedding

A wedding may last a day, but a marriage is built over a lifetime. In Episode 30, we’re looking beyond the dress, the cake, and the celebration to talk about what really makes a marriage last. From communication and forgiveness to reasonable expectations and choosing each other through every season, this episode is a reminder that love isn’t just something you promise—it’s something you practice. Because somewhere between “I do” and happily ever after… the real work, and the real beauty, begin.

Episode 29- The Older We Get, The More We Get It

The older we get, the more we get it. We get that parenting doesn’t come with a manual. We get that our mothers were navigating life for the first time, too. We get that family, forgiveness, and grace matter more than perfection. In this episode, two sisters compare notes on childhood, motherhood, divorce, dating, family traditions, and the lessons that seem to make more sense with time.

Episode 28- What Season Are You In?

Winter. Spring. Summer. Fall. We understand the seasons on a calendar. But what about the seasons of life? Maybe you’re in a season of waiting. Maybe you’re rebuilding after a loss. Maybe you’re growing in ways nobody else can see. Or maybe you’re finally harvesting the results of seeds you planted years ago. In this episode of You Stickin’ With That?, we’re talking about the difference between calendar seasons and God seasons, why some seasons last longer than we expected, and how forgiveness, growth, and perspective can help us move forward. Because sometimes the circumstance changes… but the season doesn’t. And sometimes the season changes… when we do.  Join Stephie Kay for a conversation about life’s chapters, the lessons hidden inside them, and how to recognize what your current season might be trying to teach you.  New episodes every Wednesday at 6:30 PM Eastern What season are you in right now? #YouStickinWithThat #StephieKay #Podcast #LifeSeasons #Growth #Forgiveness #FaithAndLife #PersonalGrowth #NewPodcastEpisode #TalkThatActuallyListens
