Let's Talk About Dating With Intention
On the Path with Kissiah Young
04/03/25 • 19 min
Dating can be its very own trying experience. Many people have thrown in the towel, completely giving up on "looking for love," because of the unfortunate experiences had in the dating world. It seems like time and time again there's a dead-end, a wall that's hit leaving us disappointed, even heartbroken. Well, what if that doesn't have to be the case? What if we could actually become more clear within ourselves and begin practicing being intentional in our dating as opposed to taking what we can get? What if we chose to show up fully and truly as ourselves, and moved through the dating experience from that place, weeding out that which is a clear no and freeing ourselves to encounter the yes? I truly believe it's possible. Let's talk about it.
I appreciate your being here with me. Truly.

The Ingredients of Death Resides Within Us
On the Path with Kissiah Young
02/27/25 • 8 min
Have you ever sat and thought about the reality that we as sentient beings hold within ourselves the ingredients of both life and death? I've been sitting with the truth of this, contemplating how close death is to my every breath, and yours. It walks parallel to us through time and space, intersecting but once. Keep me company as I talk about it a bit. Explore here with me.
I appreciate you.
A deep bow,

What Is Your Relationship To Authenticity?
On the Path with Kissiah Young
12/05/24 • 7 min
I am one of those authentic people in life. Anyone who truly knows me can attest to this. I believe in being true to ourselves, which often means having the ability to enter into hard or uncomfortable matters. I find authenticity to be the path of true connection and closeness. After all, how intimate can we truly be when we aren't being ourselves?
Join me tonight as I share a bit about myself and my relationship to authenticity. It may not be the easiest of paths, but it is certainly on the path!
With gratitude,

What Is Your Relationship to Repair?
On the Path with Kissiah Young
10/03/24 • 11 min
Communication, and the many ways of its importance, has been in the air for me these days. I see how easily we miss opportunities when we choose not to communicate. We lose, and others lose because of us. How is there to be true repair when we do not communicate? How is there authentic connection and relationship, including friendships, if we are quieting our truth and proceeding from some place inside our heads where stories are made?
There is no repair.
There is no authentic connection and relationship.
What then are we doing, if not missing opportunities to learn, grow, heal, and connect? Have you ever thought about yourself in relation to repair? Join me tonight where I share my thoughts.
Thank you always, for your presence.
Deep gratitude,

When We Shut Down We Abandon Ourselves
On the Path with Kissiah Young
10/24/24 • 10 min
When the rubber meets the road, who do you become? Are you someone who practices openly and fully expressing what is true for you, or are you someone who tends to shut down?
I've been thinking about communication and how shutting down is a kind of shortchange; we lose out on the full experience of our lives and inadvertently abandon ourselves. Is this what we ultimately desire, and how does this serve our highest way of being? It doesn't, yet opening ourselves is a practice. Let's begin.
Thank you for your presence. Always.
Deep gratitude,

The Road Is Good: Mothers, Daughters, and Grief
On the Path with Kissiah Young
10/10/24 • 13 min
As actor, Uzo Aduba releases her memoir, The Road Is Good, I am brought to reflect upon the grief that rests within me, a grief rooted in what does not exist between my mother and me: a connection.
What do we daughters do with this kind of grief? Where do we place the tender spots that went missing as a child, and continues now? How do we arrive within ourselves when the beauty of who we were as young daughters was not reflected back to us by our mothers? Even now?
Join me in my personal exploration of this.
As always, I appreciate your presence. Thank you for being here with me.
Deep gratitude,

How Do You Get Back On The Path?
On the Path with Kissiah Young
09/12/24 • 6 min
We're not always gonna be on the path. That's impossible. The nature of being human has a connection to imperfection. So we seek instead to be as aligned as we are able by way of being alert, awake to ourselves and our lives. When we find ourselves off the path, or teetering about, the inquiry and exploration becomes about our practice for returning to truth. What do you do to bring yourself back to center, back into alignment, and back on the path?
Join me in today's episode where I openly share about my own recent teetering, and what that looked like with my partner.
As always, thank you for being here. I appreciate you.
Deep gratitude,

What Do You Do With Your (childhood) Grief?
On the Path with Kissiah Young
03/27/25 • 11 min
No one is exempt from experiencing grief. So many of us have been holding on to a kind of unexplored grief from childhood that, unbeknownst to us, impacts our lives in big and little ways. Have we given this time and attention? Have we held the grief of our childhood with love and curiosity so that healing and freedom might result, or have we pushed it away, banishing it as something that either should not exist or that we just can't face? What is it that we do with our grief? Maybe now is the time to pause and turn toward it. It may feel hard and that's okay. Hard things can be done. Let's talk about it.
Thank you for your presence here with me.
A deep bow,

Part Five of the Nine Contemplations on Death: The Ways Are Many
On the Path with Kissiah Young
01/16/25 • 16 min
I am thinking about the Los Angeles fires and the many people whose lives have been completely undone, and am reminded of this nine-part series on the inevitability of death, and the nature of impermanence in general.
There are many causes of death.
So often we live each day going about almost in the blind not realizing how shifts happen in an instant. Then something brings us to the vivid picture of devastation.
We pause.
Perhaps we pause long enough to reflect rather than run, and to sit with the angst that we, too, will be released into the ether of no more. One day.
Thank you for your presence, and your willingness to enter into this space with me.
Deep Gratitude,
~Kissiah
Part Three of The Nine Contemplations: Death Will Come
On the Path with Kissiah Young
01/02/25 • 15 min
Death is inevitable and will arrive when it arrives. It needs neither invitation nor permission to enter when it knocks. Death has access to our lives whether we desire it or not, are prepared or not, and it requires nothing of us in order to reveal itself. The reality of this brings us to the question, what does it mean to prepare for death?
Death will indeed come, whether or not we are prepared.
Holding this thought in mind, I enter fully into the body of life.
-Atisha Dipamkara
Thank you for joining me.
Deep bow,
~Kissiah
