On The Path with Kissiah Young
Welcome to On The Path! In this space we explore some of the most tender and painful aspects of life, which happens to also be some of the most meaningful. We explore death and dying, grief and loss, and how we hold all of this. This is a space of vulnerability and healing, of repair and reconciliation. We grow here.

We move through our lives as if they will go on forever. But what if we truly remembered that they won't?
In this episode, we explore how remembering our impermanence can clarify what matters, shift how we spend our time, and soften what we may cling to. When we live with an awareness of death, we don't become fearful, we become intentional.
As always, I appreciate your presence here with me.

What in your life matters so deeply that if you stopped tending to it, you would eventually lose it?
In this episode of On The Path, we explore the quiet reality that what we neglect does not stay the same; it slowly fades.--and not materially, but rather meaningfully. The relationships, values, inner peace, and sense of purpose that give our lives depth require attention and preservation.
Thank you for being with me today.

In this gentle reflection, we explore the truth that while sadness, grief, anxiety, and hardship are real parts of life, they are not who we are. So often we over-identify with our experiences and lose sight of our deeper nature. This episode is an invitation to recognize the impermanence of all emotional states — to let them arise, move, and pass without clinging or ingesting them. You are more than any passing moment.

Living with cancer can bring people to a point where continuing treatment feels more exhausting than hopeful. This episode pauses to reflect on the reality of treatment fatigue, the weight of deciding whether to stop, and the importance of honoring what is true for the person diagnosed. It invites loved ones to loosen their grip on their own fears and desires, and instead offer presence, trust, and compassion as the one diagnosed f...
In today's episode, Fixing Isn’t Emotional Availability, we explore how we learn to fix, manage, and solve—often with good intentions—and how that habit can quietly damage our connections. This episode is a reminder that people don’t need to be fixed; they need to be seen, heard, and validated. Not fixing is a practice, not a perfection—and it’s something we can keep learning together.

Anger is a Thief explores how anger quietly robs us of our presence, our time, and our joy. We look at the many ways anger takes root, and how it can pull us out of the moment without us even realizing it. This episode is about reclaiming presence, softening old patterns, and creating more space for clarity, peace, and freedom. Thank you for being here with me.

Wherever you go, your mind comes too. This episode invites a kinder look at how it travels with you.
Our minds are constant companions, shaping how we experience every moment. In this episode, we explore mindfulness, self-awareness, and gentle self-inquiry as ways to better understand the mind and learn how to move through life with more ease and compassion.

What if the year ahead isn’t something to conquer, fix, or resolve—but something to cultivate? In this episode, I introduce the idea of a cultivation board—an intentional practice that turns inward, focusing less on outcomes and more on the qualities, energy, and inner landscape you want to tend. This is a softer, truer alternative to resolutions—especially for seasons of grief, transition, or going from doing to being.

As a new year begins, this brief reflection invites a shift from outward focus to inner attentiveness. In this episode of On The Path, I explore slowing down, contemplating more deeply, and tending to the interior life, creating space for clarity, presence, and a more rooted way of living.
I am so happy you're here with me.

This episode is an invitation to reconsider the New Year-not as a list of resolutions, but as an inner practice. Together, we explore what it means to cultivate depth, meaning, and presence so the New Year is something you live, not just begin.
Thank you for being here with me.

Through the lens of lived experience and end-of-life wisdom, this episode explores why time is the one gift we never get back, and why sharing it intentionally may be the greatest act of love we can offer, especially during the holidays.
I am grateful you are here with me.

In this episode, we explore the real secret to hearing hard things without shutting down. Whether it’s feedback, conflict, or painful truths, staying open can feel impossible—yet it’s one of the most powerful relational skills we can build.
This episode invites reflection rather than solutions—an invitation to notice, pause, and gently consider what’s happening inside us when conversations get tough.
Thank you for your presence.

This conversation invites you to slow down and look closely at how you’re spending your time. If the next six months were all you had, what would you change? What would you cherish? Join me as we sit with the question, and give thought to our lives.

Are your needs truly being met in your relationship — or have you settled for “good enough” just to avoid being alone? In this episode, we get real about love, connection, and the quiet compromises many women make in the name of tradition, comfort, or fear of starting over. Sometimes, we have to take stock and begin to peel back the layers leading to change.
With warmth,

It’s 2 a.m., you’re wide awake (again), and wondering if your hormones have joined a circus without telling you. In this episode, we dive into the wild world of perimenopause — and those oh-so-fun sleepless nights. With honesty and a dash of humor, we talk about what’s really going on, how to make peace with the changes, and why you’re definitely not alone in this midnight madness.

Caring for a parent with dementia can be both an act of deep love and an emotional challenge. In this episode, we explore the realities of being a caregiver — the exhaustion, the guilt, and the small moments of grace that keep us going. We'll talk about how essential it is to prioritize yourself even when it feels like there's absolutely no time.

When you pause and give thought to your life, what are the things that you know, deep down, that you're avoiding or that you're not seeing clearly? Those are blindspots--the very things we tend to avoid, turn away from, or make excuses for so as to not have to face or deal with them. Yet, these are the very things that adversely impact our lives and the lives of those around us.
In this episode we take a look at our blind...
Who do you become when you're unable to control the behavior of others, and of places, processes, and outcomes? What is your practice for navigating the disappointment that inevitably comes when you find yourself unable to move the needle in any direction? In today's episode, we peel back some of those layers with an eye toward knowing ourselves better, seeing what's behind our behavior, and working toward change. Th...
In this episode, we go beneath the surface — excavating the buried layers of identity, memory, and conditioning to contemplate the true archeology of who we really are. Through reflection, mindful inquiry and honest inner work, we explore the importance of peeling back the layers to see the ingredients of ourselves with an eye toward living more fully and authentically.
Thank you for your presence.
A deep bow,
~Kissiah
In this episode, we take a quiet pause to be present with ourselves — noticing where we are, what we carry, and where we’re headed. It’s a moment to slow down, listen inward, and see your life with a bit more clarity and compassion.
Thank you for your presence.
