I recently had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Topaz Adizes for an episode of the GUTS (Getting Under The Skin) Podcast. If you know Topaz’s work with The Skin Deep and {THE AND}, you know he doesn’t do “small talk”. We went deep, we went into the “messy” parts, and we definitely got under the skin.
What We Dove Into:
- The Roller Coaster Metaphor: I shared why Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point is my ultimate “happy place” and how a terrifying moment on my first coaster with my dad became the perfect metaphor for navigating the unknowns of life.
- The Diagnosis “Lens”: We talked about my late-in-life diagnosis at age 34 and how finally putting a name to ADHD, anxiety, and depression made the “blur” of my first 30 years finally make sense.
- The Reality of the “Dark Room”: I opened up about my lowest point in 2018… the injuries, the loss, and the mental health crisis that eventually led to the birth of The Vibe With Ky.
- Why I Do This: We explored my driving need to provide for my family and why a single DM from one of you means more to me than a million views.
This conversation wasn’t a “performance” or a list of productivity hacks. It was an honest look at how life shapes us, the struggle of the “tug of war” in our brains, and why I choose to lead with humor and vulnerability every single day.
