Welcome Carrie.

8
00:00:10,340 --> 00:00:10,730
Yeah.

9
00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:11,629
Welcome to show.

10
00:00:11,629 --> 00:00:12,499
What's a mompreneur?

11
00:00:12,499 --> 00:00:13,219
Tell me what that is.

12
00:00:13,219 --> 00:00:13,819
I love that.

13
00:00:14,419 --> 00:00:15,139
Kyrie Blaney: A mompreneur.

14
00:00:15,950 --> 00:00:18,109
Uh, it's the mom that's doing everything.

15
00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:19,969
That's what I always tell people.

16
00:00:20,209 --> 00:00:23,329
It's the moms that are
running businesses and.

17
00:00:23,595 --> 00:00:25,665
Raising babies all at the same time.

18
00:00:26,194 --> 00:00:26,764
I get it.

19
00:00:26,855 --> 00:00:27,525
Just Blane: I love it.

20
00:00:27,715 --> 00:00:28,135
That is

21
00:00:28,175 --> 00:00:28,865
Becks: awesome.

22
00:00:28,865 --> 00:00:31,084
Yeah, that is amazing.

23
00:00:31,194 --> 00:00:32,925
I was going to say you get it, Blaine.

24
00:00:33,204 --> 00:00:33,695
I get

25
00:00:33,695 --> 00:00:34,944
Kyrie Blaney: it.

26
00:00:34,945 --> 00:00:35,135
Just Blane: Yeah.

27
00:00:35,775 --> 00:00:39,574
Well, tell us what, what, what,
what journey, what led you to be a

28
00:00:39,575 --> 00:00:45,175
mompreneur and help others balance
that personal and professional life?

29
00:00:45,185 --> 00:00:46,915
What made you want to do this for people?

30
00:00:47,945 --> 00:00:50,235
Kyrie Blaney: Well,
obviously my own journey.

31
00:00:50,285 --> 00:00:53,675
I think that's usually where
it starts and why we get into

32
00:00:53,675 --> 00:00:54,915
the things that we get into.

33
00:00:55,305 --> 00:01:00,814
Um, you know, being a mom, a young
mom and working a job that just

34
00:01:00,855 --> 00:01:06,985
like wasn't fulfilling and wasn't a
great environment to be working in.

35
00:01:08,175 --> 00:01:13,335
So I went back to school when my
son was about a year and a half old.

36
00:01:14,035 --> 00:01:17,145
And as I was going to college,
I ended up starting my own non

37
00:01:17,145 --> 00:01:18,875
profit at the same time too.

38
00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:24,000
And so it was a lot that I was trying
to balance school and babies and

39
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,690
businesses and all of the things
and just realize how hard it is.

40
00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:28,175
Eating

41
00:01:28,175 --> 00:01:29,350
Just Blane: and eating and sleeping.

42
00:01:29,470 --> 00:01:30,310
That wasn't part of it,

43
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:30,490
Kyrie Blaney: right?

44
00:01:33,290 --> 00:01:35,060
There was so much going on.

45
00:01:35,069 --> 00:01:39,479
And I think anybody who is a parent
who is also doing all the things gets

46
00:01:39,479 --> 00:01:39,689
Becks: it.

47
00:01:40,139 --> 00:01:41,349
Yeah, for sure.

48
00:01:41,349 --> 00:01:42,319
That's very true.

49
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:43,210
That is very true.

50
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:46,469
So this started how,
how many years ago did

51
00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:46,640
Kyrie Blaney: you say?

52
00:01:48,025 --> 00:01:51,325
So the Confident Mompreneur
started about three years ago.

53
00:01:51,355 --> 00:01:51,535
Three

54
00:01:51,535 --> 00:01:52,275
Becks: years ago now.

55
00:01:52,305 --> 00:01:52,955
Okay.

56
00:01:53,705 --> 00:01:53,975
Yeah.

57
00:01:53,975 --> 00:01:54,125
And

58
00:01:54,125 --> 00:01:56,145
Just Blane: you've got, you've
got multiple companies, right?

59
00:01:56,265 --> 00:01:56,955
Is that what I'm hearing?

60
00:01:57,735 --> 00:02:01,535
Kyrie Blaney: So I started a non profit
and I ran that for about two years.

61
00:02:01,755 --> 00:02:05,365
Um, and so I helped a lot of other
moms that were going to college.

62
00:02:05,575 --> 00:02:07,315
And it was a great experience.

63
00:02:07,475 --> 00:02:12,854
I did an entrepreneurship competition
with it and won some award

64
00:02:12,874 --> 00:02:14,065
money and did a bunch of stuff.

65
00:02:15,015 --> 00:02:19,695
But then I went through some big personal
changes and it was just too hard to

66
00:02:19,695 --> 00:02:21,464
balance everything all at the same time.

67
00:02:21,494 --> 00:02:25,065
So I took a step back from that one and I
went fully in on the confident mompreneur.

68
00:02:26,015 --> 00:02:26,464
Just Blane: Gotcha.

69
00:02:26,624 --> 00:02:27,214
I love it.

70
00:02:27,704 --> 00:02:31,774
Becks: No, I know that you talk
a lot because as we were talking

71
00:02:31,774 --> 00:02:34,494
before the show, you know, I have
stocked your social media pages.

72
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:34,585
It's

73
00:02:35,085 --> 00:02:35,415
Just Blane: great.

74
00:02:35,415 --> 00:02:37,335
I love your social and
social is fantastic.

75
00:02:37,585 --> 00:02:39,035
Hey, what is your social real quick?

76
00:02:39,035 --> 00:02:39,715
Tell us what it is.

77
00:02:40,575 --> 00:02:42,035
Kyrie Blaney: The confident mompreneur.

78
00:02:42,045 --> 00:02:43,335
That's where I'm at everywhere.

79
00:02:43,905 --> 00:02:44,525
I love that.

80
00:02:44,525 --> 00:02:44,985
That's so good.

81
00:02:45,375 --> 00:02:49,775
Becks: It's so fun to watch you just in
your element and with your family and

82
00:02:49,775 --> 00:02:54,364
just the gratitude that you have and just
wholeheartedly being authentic to you.

83
00:02:54,395 --> 00:02:55,044
Like, look at me.

84
00:02:55,044 --> 00:02:58,334
I'm getting teary eyed because
it really means so much to me.

85
00:02:58,335 --> 00:03:00,395
I'm like, Blaine, we got
to have her on the show.

86
00:03:00,814 --> 00:03:05,424
Um, but that being said, I wanted
to dive into, you mentioned a

87
00:03:05,424 --> 00:03:06,134
little bit about your partner.

88
00:03:07,005 --> 00:03:09,584
Is that something that you wouldn't
mind just kind of giving us a brief

89
00:03:09,584 --> 00:03:14,015
overview of what your story is, where
you came from and how you got here?

90
00:03:15,364 --> 00:03:19,445
Kyrie Blaney: Yeah, it definitely
had its big ups and big downs.

91
00:03:19,464 --> 00:03:21,584
I think like anybody kind of goes through.

92
00:03:22,144 --> 00:03:24,995
Um, so I started my non profit.

93
00:03:25,304 --> 00:03:26,724
I finished college.

94
00:03:26,734 --> 00:03:27,954
I did all of the things.

95
00:03:28,545 --> 00:03:30,695
Um, and during that time.

96
00:03:31,150 --> 00:03:33,460
Kind of unbeknownst to
everybody around me.

97
00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:40,460
I was going through a abusive relationship
and that was really difficult.

98
00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:46,040
And I was really, that was a big motivator
for what I was doing so that I could get

99
00:03:46,079 --> 00:03:48,400
myself and my son out of that situation.

100
00:03:49,089 --> 00:03:56,049
And so I was finally able to do that and I
went through a divorce, which when you're

101
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,530
going through a divorce, it's hard enough.

102
00:03:58,619 --> 00:04:03,869
And then having And abusive spouse on the
other end of it, very, very different.

103
00:04:04,369 --> 00:04:04,749
Yeah.

104
00:04:05,049 --> 00:04:08,309
And so that came with
its own set of hardships.

105
00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:10,789
There was a lot of financial
hardships, you know, mental

106
00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:12,269
abuse throughout the whole thing.

107
00:04:12,269 --> 00:04:13,299
There was a lot going on.

108
00:04:14,339 --> 00:04:16,629
And I was also going through
my own transformation.

109
00:04:16,685 --> 00:04:21,595
I had been handling somebody else's
emotions for such a long time that I

110
00:04:21,714 --> 00:04:23,845
forgot how to handle my own emotion.

111
00:04:24,435 --> 00:04:30,825
And so it's like this torrential
downpour of emotional things

112
00:04:30,835 --> 00:04:33,744
that I was going through on top
of the financial and everything.

113
00:04:33,744 --> 00:04:35,195
So it was a really
difficult period of time.

114
00:04:36,435 --> 00:04:42,375
And then, um, I ended up having some
health concerns kind of come up.

115
00:04:42,375 --> 00:04:47,964
I, uh, had a cancer scare and I always
tell people mental health and your

116
00:04:47,964 --> 00:04:53,104
physical health are so tied together
and my physical health started to go

117
00:04:53,105 --> 00:04:55,325
downhill because of my mental health.

118
00:04:55,780 --> 00:05:00,490
Um, My body was telling me I needed
to slow down, I needed to rest,

119
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,610
and you know, kind of recoup from
everything that was going on.

120
00:05:04,690 --> 00:05:10,200
And so, I went through that, and
then almost immediately after all

121
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,380
of this, I went through a sexual
assault and physical assault.

122
00:05:17,575 --> 00:05:21,445
Yeah, it was like one thing after
another and then of course I

123
00:05:21,445 --> 00:05:27,275
went through the court process
for my sexual lasted a full year

124
00:05:28,575 --> 00:05:33,045
Just Blane: This is she just she just told
us the plot to like the the worst horror

125
00:05:33,045 --> 00:05:36,655
movie like ever like this is oh My gosh,

126
00:05:37,525 --> 00:05:38,685
Becks: this is you know, what?

127
00:05:39,335 --> 00:05:39,885
creates

128
00:05:39,895 --> 00:05:41,350
Kyrie Blaney: warriors Mm.

129
00:05:41,585 --> 00:05:42,685
Beyond truly.

130
00:05:42,865 --> 00:05:43,085
Mm.

131
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:46,900
Just Blane: What did you, so what
did you do to combat the, I wanna,

132
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,170
I wanna find out what you did to
combat the mental health issues.

133
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:50,260
Yeah.

134
00:05:50,265 --> 00:05:53,050
Because to me that's one of
the biggest things out there.

135
00:05:53,140 --> 00:05:56,170
Um, I think everybody's
got something like they do.

136
00:05:56,620 --> 00:06:01,540
Um, and it's, it's, it's time to like,
kind of let that rise to the surface and,

137
00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:03,160
and, and talk about that kind of stuff.

138
00:06:03,310 --> 00:06:05,710
What did you do to combat yours?

139
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:06,790
Mental,

140
00:06:06,850 --> 00:06:07,270
Kyrie Blaney: your mental.

141
00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:10,160
Well, like he said, it's real life.

142
00:06:10,210 --> 00:06:14,770
Like, we all go through really tough,
really hard things, and you know, it

143
00:06:14,770 --> 00:06:17,250
doesn't have to be the same things
that I went through, and of course,

144
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:20,510
I would never hope that anybody goes
through any of the things that I

145
00:06:20,510 --> 00:06:24,750
went through, but You know, we all
go through those really hard, really

146
00:06:24,750 --> 00:06:29,640
tough times, and I was not very good
about, you know, reaching out, getting

147
00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:32,660
help, talking about what was going on.

148
00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:37,749
Um, so I was not a very good example
of what to do in that situation.

149
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,729
Just Blane: What do you,
what do you think, what was

150
00:06:39,729 --> 00:06:40,419
keeping you from it though?

151
00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:44,580
Let me ask, what was, what was
your, you know, stopping you there?

152
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:45,690
Blane?

153
00:06:46,660 --> 00:06:47,180
Kyrie Blaney: Shame.

154
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:47,860
A hundred percent shame.

155
00:06:49,580 --> 00:06:53,590
I think we all hold on to
shame really, really deeply.

156
00:06:53,610 --> 00:06:57,309
And like you said, mental health,
especially is not a topic that a lot

157
00:06:57,310 --> 00:06:59,700
of people really speak openly about.

158
00:07:00,350 --> 00:07:02,910
Um, and I'm trying to
change that now, which is.

159
00:07:03,155 --> 00:07:07,875
Again, why I do what I do because I
went through it and I felt so alone

160
00:07:07,935 --> 00:07:13,614
and I felt like I was never going to
get out of that deep dark hole and I

161
00:07:13,614 --> 00:07:15,445
think a lot of people have been there.

162
00:07:15,934 --> 00:07:23,045
Um, it got to the point where,
um, I actually ended up attempting

163
00:07:23,045 --> 00:07:27,815
suicide because I was so far deep
in that hole and I didn't feel

164
00:07:27,885 --> 00:07:29,405
like I could get myself out of it.

165
00:07:29,935 --> 00:07:32,225
So that was where it really turned for me.

166
00:07:32,745 --> 00:07:38,544
Um, luckily I had my parents that were
very supportive and, you know, part

167
00:07:38,544 --> 00:07:42,895
of that process and some friends that
ended up calling the sheriff's office

168
00:07:42,925 --> 00:07:45,359
on me and the sheriff came into my home.

169
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,250
Yeah, you can't be here alone.

170
00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:51,732
Um, we're taking you to
the mental health facility.

171
00:07:51,732 --> 00:07:54,990
And so I was actually in there for
a little bit and that's where things

172
00:07:55,010 --> 00:07:56,730
really started to look up for me.

173
00:07:57,905 --> 00:07:58,345
Becks: Wow.

174
00:07:58,685 --> 00:08:02,255
And I know on your podcast, and this
is, you know, what I really love about

175
00:08:02,255 --> 00:08:05,874
what she does first and foremost,
thank you for sharing that story.

176
00:08:05,874 --> 00:08:08,534
I want to acknowledge, those
are all hard things and you

177
00:08:08,534 --> 00:08:10,034
just shared those very publicly.

178
00:08:10,084 --> 00:08:10,885
So thank you.

179
00:08:10,885 --> 00:08:12,194
I know that's not easy.

180
00:08:12,595 --> 00:08:15,584
I know it's what you do and
probably why so many people

181
00:08:15,584 --> 00:08:18,235
relate to you, but it's not easy.

182
00:08:18,275 --> 00:08:18,835
So thank

183
00:08:18,835 --> 00:08:19,205
Kyrie Blaney: you.

184
00:08:19,535 --> 00:08:20,795
Just Blane: Um, Hey, you know what?

185
00:08:20,825 --> 00:08:22,085
And I'll throw this out there too.

00:08:52,075 --> 00:08:53,435
You So go get some help.

199
00:08:53,865 --> 00:08:54,665
I had to throw that out there.

200
00:08:54,665 --> 00:08:56,774
Let's get, let's talk
about that podcast though.

201
00:08:56,775 --> 00:08:57,125
Sorry about that.

202
00:08:57,155 --> 00:08:57,345
Yeah.

203
00:08:58,065 --> 00:08:58,855
Becks: No, you're okay.

204
00:08:58,855 --> 00:09:00,665
And I appreciate you throwing that in.

205
00:09:00,665 --> 00:09:01,475
It's very important.

206
00:09:01,764 --> 00:09:05,534
Um, but you do feature a lot
of, um, inspiring interviews.

207
00:09:05,565 --> 00:09:09,655
Can you tell us particularly like
a memorable, you know, interview

208
00:09:09,655 --> 00:09:13,215
or experience on your podcast
or guests that you've had that

209
00:09:13,215 --> 00:09:14,305
you'd like to share or touch

210
00:09:14,305 --> 00:09:14,545
Kyrie Blaney: on?

211
00:09:16,355 --> 00:09:20,355
Oh my gosh, I've done over a
hundred podcast episodes now.

212
00:09:20,675 --> 00:09:22,695
So I've spoke to so many people.

213
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,520
All incredible.

214
00:09:25,050 --> 00:09:26,560
Um, but anything

215
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:27,890
Becks: is really impactful.

216
00:09:27,950 --> 00:09:28,540
Oh, sorry.

217
00:09:28,540 --> 00:09:28,930
Go ahead.

218
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,040
Kyrie Blaney: Yeah.

219
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:35,340
One of the ones that was most impactful
for me kind of in that moment, um,

220
00:09:35,410 --> 00:09:43,055
I met with Dean Smith who talks
about forgiveness and I was right

221
00:09:43,055 --> 00:09:47,925
in the middle of going through my
court process for my sexual assault.

222
00:09:49,025 --> 00:09:52,395
And his story is incredibly powerful.

223
00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:55,185
If you haven't heard his story,
you need to go listen to it.

224
00:09:55,235 --> 00:10:00,555
But for me during that moment, it
wasn't about finding forgiveness

225
00:10:00,564 --> 00:10:04,635
for the man who did that to me,
but rather forgiveness for myself.

226
00:10:05,375 --> 00:10:09,745
Because I think When you're in that
situation, there's so much victim blaming

227
00:10:09,905 --> 00:10:14,775
and stuff going on in society that you
automatically put the blame onto yourself.

228
00:10:15,425 --> 00:10:20,315
Um, and so there was a lot of shame for
myself around, you know, like, should I

229
00:10:20,335 --> 00:10:22,744
have gone out on a date with this person?

230
00:10:22,744 --> 00:10:23,625
Should I have done this?

231
00:10:23,634 --> 00:10:24,605
Should I have done that?

232
00:10:25,355 --> 00:10:28,850
And so there was a lot of
like, Self resentment there

233
00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:30,360
that I had to learn to forget

234
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:35,060
Just Blane: like like you thought so oh my
god, it's terrible So what i'm hearing is

235
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:37,709
but it's almost you like blamed yourself.

236
00:10:37,739 --> 00:10:39,500
You were blaming yourself in some ways

237
00:10:40,780 --> 00:10:47,449
Kyrie Blaney: absolutely Uh, you know,
like when you're in that situation it

238
00:10:48,699 --> 00:10:56,460
obviously like he was at fault there
100 but Especially when I was like going

239
00:10:56,460 --> 00:11:01,450
through the court process, I know it's
their job, but the, the court on his

240
00:11:01,450 --> 00:11:07,400
side, um, was very victim blaming, like,
you know, blaming me for going out on a

241
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,799
date with this person, inviting him into
my home, um, doing this, doing that,

242
00:11:11,869 --> 00:11:15,600
and that happens so often to survivors.

243
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:19,625
And so, We automatically just
put that blame on ourselves.

244
00:11:19,665 --> 00:11:22,825
It's like, well, maybe he's
a, he was a good person and

245
00:11:22,825 --> 00:11:24,895
this was just like an outlier.

246
00:11:25,765 --> 00:11:28,375
Um, obviously going

247
00:11:28,375 --> 00:11:29,864
Becks: through

248
00:11:29,864 --> 00:11:35,234
Kyrie Blaney: the court process, I
was like, this was such a violent act.

249
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,220
I can't have been the first one that he
did this to, but there, the other women

250
00:11:40,250 --> 00:11:44,050
that he did this to before obviously
weren't able to step up and speak.

251
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,459
And so that it happened to me and I
wanted to kind of put that line down so

252
00:11:49,459 --> 00:11:51,300
that it couldn't happen to anybody else.

253
00:11:51,450 --> 00:11:52,726
And that was me the only one.

254
00:11:52,726 --> 00:11:53,393
Just Blane: Where's this guy at?

255
00:11:53,393 --> 00:11:54,109
Where's he at now?

256
00:11:54,349 --> 00:11:55,049
Where's he at now?

257
00:11:55,259 --> 00:11:56,359
Kyrie Blaney: He's in prison.

258
00:11:57,789 --> 00:11:58,709
Just Blane: That's what I hope to hear.

259
00:12:00,685 --> 00:12:05,944
Kyrie Blaney: We got found guilty on three
felony counts of assault, um, which, which

260
00:12:06,695 --> 00:12:09,234
doesn't happen very often in these cases.

261
00:12:09,474 --> 00:12:15,655
So I was kind of one of very few
that got a guilty on my case.

262
00:12:16,215 --> 00:12:19,885
Um, and still even with three
felony counts of assault, he only

263
00:12:19,885 --> 00:12:21,945
got six to eight years in prison.

264
00:12:22,915 --> 00:12:25,125
Just Blane: So he'll be out doing
it again somewhere like that's.

265
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:26,770
Yeah.

266
00:12:26,770 --> 00:12:27,760
Repeat, repeat.

267
00:12:27,810 --> 00:12:28,380
I mean, yeah.

268
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:29,870
They have to keep up,
keep a watch on this.

269
00:12:29,870 --> 00:12:29,900
It's

270
00:12:30,510 --> 00:12:30,960
Kyrie Blaney: scary.

271
00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:31,770
Process

272
00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:35,250
Becks: though, like the strength
that you have and that you

273
00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:37,449
found where, where did you dig?

274
00:12:37,579 --> 00:12:42,370
I mean, were you, was that prior to,
were you in your facility and you

275
00:12:42,380 --> 00:12:46,589
had therapists and help and things
through that process of your sexual

276
00:12:46,589 --> 00:12:49,759
assault or did the depression where
on the timeline did that happen?

277
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:50,789
Was it afterwards?

278
00:12:50,839 --> 00:12:52,039
So you had already found your.

279
00:12:52,945 --> 00:12:53,465
Coping

280
00:12:53,475 --> 00:12:56,145
Kyrie Blaney: mechanisms
and things prior to that.

281
00:12:56,145 --> 00:13:00,505
So I, I was assaulted in March.

282
00:13:00,745 --> 00:13:03,085
I attempted suicide in June.

283
00:13:03,845 --> 00:13:08,954
Um, we, we didn't get the, uh,
we didn't go to court until

284
00:13:08,954 --> 00:13:10,925
February of the next year.

285
00:13:11,734 --> 00:13:14,654
Um, we didn't get our
guilty verdict until March.

286
00:13:15,864 --> 00:13:19,734
Um, yeah, it took a year,
took a year, a whole process.

287
00:13:19,974 --> 00:13:22,604
Um, and so, no, I had.

288
00:13:23,535 --> 00:13:26,975
started the process, but I was still
in the middle of going through it

289
00:13:26,995 --> 00:13:29,725
when I ended up in the site facility.

290
00:13:30,165 --> 00:13:34,015
And that was one of the best
things that could have happened

291
00:13:34,015 --> 00:13:35,774
to me during that time, I think.

292
00:13:36,324 --> 00:13:36,684
Yeah.

293
00:13:36,744 --> 00:13:40,694
And I don't know if people talk
about, like, actually having

294
00:13:40,694 --> 00:13:43,084
to go into a facility, but.

295
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,420
It was, you know, like I had therapists
available to me all the time.

296
00:13:47,420 --> 00:13:50,190
They set me up with a
therapist outside of the ward.

297
00:13:50,590 --> 00:13:54,239
Um, when I got out, you know, I had
other people around me that were

298
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,940
going to, through very similar things.

299
00:13:57,110 --> 00:14:02,519
Um, so there was that kind of sense of
community and understanding that I, I

300
00:14:02,620 --> 00:14:06,560
think when you're going through something
like that, you assume that nobody

301
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:07,900
understands what you're going through.

302
00:14:08,740 --> 00:14:12,250
And so it was nice to have
those people around me who.

303
00:14:12,435 --> 00:14:13,925
I was like, okay, yeah, you get it.

304
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:15,865
So it's one

305
00:14:16,025 --> 00:14:19,175
Becks: thing to go through that and
you've got your advocates and you've

306
00:14:19,175 --> 00:14:20,375
got your support and your team.

307
00:14:20,625 --> 00:14:24,445
It's a very different thing
to speak about that publicly.

308
00:14:24,445 --> 00:14:28,285
And where do you find that
courage and that strength?

309
00:14:28,335 --> 00:14:29,494
Ooh, I just got the goose bump.

310
00:14:30,604 --> 00:14:33,215
That is so empowering what you do.

311
00:14:33,215 --> 00:14:34,605
So talk a little more about that.

312
00:14:34,605 --> 00:14:35,004
I

313
00:14:35,005 --> 00:14:35,335
Kyrie Blaney: mean, you

314
00:14:35,335 --> 00:14:38,134
Just Blane: even said that some of these
women didn't step up when you did, and

315
00:14:38,135 --> 00:14:39,485
you were the one leading the charge.

316
00:14:39,485 --> 00:14:42,565
If I heard that correct, like
that's crazy already to think that.

317
00:14:44,095 --> 00:14:49,135
They're too scared or whatever it
may be Gets me amped up over it gets

318
00:14:49,135 --> 00:14:53,254
me mad for it does it does uh, you
said something go ahead and answer

319
00:14:53,254 --> 00:14:54,485
that question Go ahead and answer.

320
00:14:54,485 --> 00:14:54,905
I'm, sorry

321
00:14:56,314 --> 00:14:59,814
Kyrie Blaney: No, it's fine and you're
right, you know, like it it's kind

322
00:14:59,814 --> 00:15:04,005
of frustrating but at the same time
like as a victim myself I get how

323
00:15:04,055 --> 00:15:09,365
scary it is to step up and say those
things and especially like I said

324
00:15:09,365 --> 00:15:12,850
when you feel so alone when you're
Questioning yourself and your judgment.

325
00:15:13,230 --> 00:15:19,060
Um, it's so easy not to go through
with it, but also the reason why I do

326
00:15:19,060 --> 00:15:22,929
what I do is to help other people who
are in that situation, not feel so

327
00:15:23,109 --> 00:15:27,559
alone, to know that there are other
people out there who understand to

328
00:15:27,870 --> 00:15:29,940
show them that there's life after

329
00:15:30,610 --> 00:15:30,820
Just Blane: trauma.

330
00:15:33,010 --> 00:15:33,540
I love that.

331
00:15:33,550 --> 00:15:34,940
You said something earlier.

332
00:15:35,370 --> 00:15:36,520
Does still bother me though.

333
00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:38,300
And it's about the courts.

334
00:15:38,319 --> 00:15:41,270
And you said the other team had
to fight for, you know, that they

335
00:15:41,819 --> 00:15:43,400
had to make you look whatever.

336
00:15:44,470 --> 00:15:45,050
And I get that.

337
00:15:45,050 --> 00:15:45,769
That's their job.

338
00:15:45,830 --> 00:15:50,939
But there's a lot of that in large
portions of people in society.

339
00:15:50,939 --> 00:15:52,989
It's not just in the U S
but all over the world.

340
00:15:53,190 --> 00:15:55,039
You got people saying, Oh, well,
she shouldn't address that way.

341
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:56,126
She, she deserved it.

342
00:15:56,126 --> 00:15:58,639
She asked for, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no.

343
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,410
Never, never does anyone
ask for a sexual assault.

344
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,860
Like that's not, That's not condoned
anywhere, but you got people out

345
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:08,090
there who say those kinds of things.

346
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,180
So it leaks into the
court and that bothers me.

347
00:16:11,230 --> 00:16:12,370
It bothers me because
it can't be like that.

348
00:16:12,370 --> 00:16:13,709
It shouldn't be like that.

349
00:16:15,439 --> 00:16:18,749
Kyrie Blaney: Well, and that's another big
reason why i'm doing what i'm doing is to

350
00:16:18,750 --> 00:16:24,450
create change within the systems itself
to make women feel Like they can Report

351
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:27,660
these things, and that they're going to
be listened to, that they're going to have

352
00:16:27,660 --> 00:16:31,630
a great team on their side, that they're
going to get that guilty verdict, because

353
00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:33,690
right now, that's not, not the norm.

354
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:34,210
It's

355
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:34,750
Becks: true.

356
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:35,329
It's not

357
00:16:35,329 --> 00:16:35,629
Kyrie Blaney: the norm.

358
00:16:35,630 --> 00:16:38,719
Most women, most women
don't even report it.

359
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:40,699
If they do, they aren't listened to.

360
00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:46,420
If they do happen to get a team that
listens, To them and says, Hey, yeah, we

361
00:16:46,510 --> 00:16:48,450
actually do have enough evidence for this.

362
00:16:49,260 --> 00:16:51,540
They'll go through court and
not get a guilty verdict.

363
00:16:52,119 --> 00:16:57,560
But with another girl that I was at an
event, um, that we went through the same

364
00:16:57,829 --> 00:17:00,310
thing in practically the same timeline.

365
00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:02,060
It was about a month
apart from each other.

366
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,250
She got not guilty verdict.

367
00:17:06,510 --> 00:17:09,079
And how daggers

368
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:10,220
Becks: had the soul when you.

369
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:10,920
Yeah.

370
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,879
And you have to repeat that story and
repeat that story and repeat that story.

371
00:17:14,879 --> 00:17:16,760
You know, it's horrible.

372
00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:21,089
Kyrie Blaney: Well, and the court system
itself is such a re victimization the

373
00:17:21,310 --> 00:17:27,390
whole way through, you know, like putting
those intimate photos up in front of a

374
00:17:27,860 --> 00:17:33,030
group of strangers, you know, having to
retell that story and look the person

375
00:17:33,030 --> 00:17:37,510
that did it to you in the You know,
there's so much within that process.

376
00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:38,985
That's So hard.

377
00:17:39,265 --> 00:17:43,475
And then, like I said, even with me
getting a guilty verdict, he only got six

378
00:17:43,475 --> 00:17:45,965
to eight years into including time served.

379
00:17:46,144 --> 00:17:48,855
He can get out on, you
know, parole before that.

380
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:57,184
So was the year that I went through
that difficult time worth it?

381
00:17:57,805 --> 00:18:03,305
You know, myself in the process,
quite literally, was it worth it?

382
00:18:03,405 --> 00:18:03,855
I have to ask.

383
00:18:04,685 --> 00:18:07,444
Just Blane: It's almost like that
year you were imprisoned in that year.

384
00:18:08,515 --> 00:18:09,045
You know what I mean?

385
00:18:09,055 --> 00:18:13,415
You were, you were technically, you
were technically imprisoned in that

386
00:18:13,415 --> 00:18:18,724
year yourself and that's Nowhere to
live either You're supposed to be free.

387
00:18:18,865 --> 00:18:22,335
You're supposed to be, you know, living
your best life as they say, but no

388
00:18:22,355 --> 00:18:24,830
you had to sit through that process.

389
00:18:25,330 --> 00:18:26,120
The system sucks.

390
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:26,939
I'll tell you that right now.

391
00:18:27,409 --> 00:18:27,939
The system sucks.

392
00:18:27,970 --> 00:18:28,060
What are

393
00:18:28,409 --> 00:18:28,870
Becks: you doing?

394
00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:33,639
You didn't talk about, um, and I, you
know, Blaine, there, it's been broken

395
00:18:33,639 --> 00:18:37,340
and, and there's a lot about that, but
I do want to dive into, you know, what

396
00:18:37,340 --> 00:18:42,939
are you doing for advocacy and how can
we at Radio Daybreak and our listeners

397
00:18:43,690 --> 00:18:47,010
You know, here in the state of Utah and
beyond, because we've got listeners, you

398
00:18:47,010 --> 00:18:49,053
know, kind of all over now, right, Blane?

399
00:18:49,053 --> 00:18:50,710
How can we help?

400
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,430
What are we doing?

401
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:52,910
How, how do we make a change?

402
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:53,650
What do we do?

403
00:18:58,140 --> 00:19:01,879
Kyrie Blaney: Well, I do a lot
of things, uh, just myself.

404
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,219
Um, so I actually have a
local group that I work with.

405
00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:11,780
They're called safe project and
they help women who are in domestic

406
00:19:11,780 --> 00:19:15,770
violence situations, victims
of stalking or sexual assault.

407
00:19:16,290 --> 00:19:20,270
Um, So, you know,

408
00:19:22,940 --> 00:19:25,390
Just Blane: We lost a little bit
there lost the connection there

409
00:19:28,550 --> 00:19:31,080
Kyrie Blaney: those groups whether
it's that group themselves or the

410
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:37,399
Just Blane: Pick back up right there.

411
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,050
What are you talking about?

412
00:19:38,490 --> 00:19:40,410
Yeah, pick back up where you're
talking about the safe project

413
00:19:44,210 --> 00:19:47,589
Kyrie Blaney: Okay, so the safe
project is a group I work with locally.

414
00:19:47,739 --> 00:19:50,099
They helped me through
my entire court process.

415
00:19:50,139 --> 00:19:55,380
They were incredible um, but support
groups like those whether it's the safe

416
00:19:55,430 --> 00:20:00,325
project itself or your local groups
that help You know, domestic violence,

417
00:20:00,345 --> 00:20:02,085
sexual assault, anything like that.

418
00:20:02,615 --> 00:20:08,675
Um, we also need to speak up and
make changes in the system itself.

419
00:20:09,424 --> 00:20:16,195
So, talk to your local, like, government
employees, whether that's, you know,

420
00:20:16,204 --> 00:20:22,395
like, your senate, your reps, anything
like that, your local, like, city people.

421
00:20:22,705 --> 00:20:24,995
They all need to be told
that this is a problem.

422
00:20:26,015 --> 00:20:29,825
And you also need to believe survivors,
regardless of whether there's a guilty

423
00:20:29,835 --> 00:20:31,955
verdict or not, believe survivors.

424
00:20:32,995 --> 00:20:35,125
Just Blane: Yeah, I love that.

425
00:20:35,434 --> 00:20:38,995
You got to absolutely do
that because That's tough.

426
00:20:39,035 --> 00:20:43,394
If you get a not guilty then
that person who Filed the charges

427
00:20:43,394 --> 00:20:44,495
then they look like they lied.

428
00:20:44,685 --> 00:20:48,505
I get that like that's It's not
always true because it could have

429
00:20:48,505 --> 00:20:51,835
got tossed out on some stupid
technicality that the system put

430
00:20:51,835 --> 00:20:54,795
in place and then It's it's messy.

431
00:20:54,825 --> 00:20:57,320
It's a messy Messy, messy situation.

432
00:20:57,860 --> 00:20:59,770
Um, one more question.

433
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:00,389
Oh, go ahead.

434
00:21:00,390 --> 00:21:00,960
Go ahead, Becks.

435
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:01,550
Oh, no,

436
00:21:01,550 --> 00:21:05,940
Becks: I, I really appreciate you diving
into, you know, your story and a lot of

437
00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:10,929
the heavy, heavy parts, but I do want to
transition just a little bit and tell me.

438
00:21:11,735 --> 00:21:14,985
You know, where are your life's
at now and how that's changed for

439
00:21:14,985 --> 00:21:20,035
you and the positivity that you
share on your social media page.

440
00:21:20,425 --> 00:21:21,905
You know, speak a little bit to that.

441
00:21:23,855 --> 00:21:26,725
Kyrie Blaney: Yeah, uh, so since
going through all of this, you

442
00:21:26,725 --> 00:21:30,384
know, it's kind of crazy how
quick my life has turned around.

443
00:21:31,580 --> 00:21:36,540
I have really spent the last
couple years focusing on myself

444
00:21:36,540 --> 00:21:38,420
and my mental health, and it shows.

445
00:21:39,270 --> 00:21:43,870
Um, you know, I have a great
relationship now, uh, with my partner.

446
00:21:43,910 --> 00:21:46,949
I have great relationships with
my family members and things.

447
00:21:46,990 --> 00:21:48,599
I travel all the time.

448
00:21:48,649 --> 00:21:49,744
I get to do this.

449
00:21:50,385 --> 00:21:57,215
And it's honestly so wonderful, but
I attribute a lot of it to finding

450
00:21:57,225 --> 00:22:01,274
the support that I needed and really
focusing on myself and my mental health.

451
00:22:02,454 --> 00:22:03,085
I love that.

452
00:22:03,085 --> 00:22:04,255
Becks: And that's what I was going to say.

453
00:22:04,255 --> 00:22:08,894
What advice do you have, you know,
for listeners who are struggling or

454
00:22:08,894 --> 00:22:14,195
have had You know, some traumatic
experiences in turning around their life.

455
00:22:14,195 --> 00:22:19,885
Like, was there a key, like, nugget,
takeaway, like a mantra, if you will,

456
00:22:19,885 --> 00:22:24,715
that you kind of defined in those
dark moments and that you could share?

457
00:22:26,645 --> 00:22:31,275
Kyrie Blaney: You know, I would just
tell them that it's okay to, like, sit

458
00:22:31,275 --> 00:22:35,165
in your feelings with it for a little
bit, but don't let it be forever.

459
00:22:35,575 --> 00:22:40,085
And make sure that you find the groups of
people around you that are really gonna

460
00:22:40,095 --> 00:22:42,615
help you up and out of those situations.

461
00:22:42,615 --> 00:22:45,524
Cause I think the people that
you surround yourself, especially

462
00:22:45,524 --> 00:22:49,494
when you're going through those
hard things, is absolutely key.

463
00:22:49,825 --> 00:22:52,695
I couldn't have done it
without those people around me.

464
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,620
And, you know, take the time and space
you need to work on your healing.

465
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:03,530
For me, I completely quit what I
was doing for like a year and a half

466
00:23:03,550 --> 00:23:05,170
while I was going through everything.

467
00:23:05,570 --> 00:23:11,179
And I think people, especially people in
business are really afraid to do that,

468
00:23:11,209 --> 00:23:14,579
that they're going to lose all of the
progress that they've made over that time.

469
00:23:15,290 --> 00:23:18,930
Honestly, it catapulted me
forward when I came back and

470
00:23:18,930 --> 00:23:21,420
was like, Hey, I'm on my stuff.

471
00:23:21,430 --> 00:23:23,680
You know, I am ready to go.

472
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:24,659
I am healed.

473
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:30,169
I am like feeling like I have
a story to share and a reason

474
00:23:30,190 --> 00:23:32,190
a why behind what I'm doing.

475
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:34,669
And I have done so amazing.

476
00:23:34,689 --> 00:23:35,658
That's so great.

477
00:23:35,658 --> 00:23:36,989

And how often do you do this show?

501
00:24:47,774 --> 00:24:49,854
I know we already touched on
a little bit earlier, but.

502
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:55,710
Kyrie Blaney: Yeah, so I, I release
new podcast episodes weekly every

503
00:24:55,710 --> 00:25:00,640
Wednesday and like you kind of
said, it's a podcast to inspire real

504
00:25:00,649 --> 00:25:03,480
women and it's done by real women.

505
00:25:03,490 --> 00:25:09,129
So I love podcasts, but I always felt
like the guests that they were bringing

506
00:25:09,129 --> 00:25:11,099
on were kind of like those unattainable.

507
00:25:11,985 --> 00:25:14,995
Idealistic people, you know,
the celebrities and things

508
00:25:14,995 --> 00:25:16,185
like that, which is great.

509
00:25:16,225 --> 00:25:17,235
And I appreciate that.

510
00:25:17,235 --> 00:25:21,165
But I also want like real people
with real real stories that I'm

511
00:25:21,184 --> 00:25:22,905
like, okay, yeah, I relate to that.

512
00:25:23,005 --> 00:25:24,575
I see where you're coming from.

513
00:25:24,825 --> 00:25:28,745
And you know, I see how they kind of went
through that hard thing and came out on

514
00:25:28,745 --> 00:25:31,385
the other, other side better in some way.

515
00:25:31,715 --> 00:25:34,575
And so those are the stories
that I really try and share.

516
00:25:35,315 --> 00:25:35,835
Just Blane: Love that.

517
00:25:35,855 --> 00:25:39,625
You can probably, you can find that on
all major platforms, I'm assuming, right?

518
00:25:40,645 --> 00:25:40,915
Everywhere.

519
00:25:40,915 --> 00:25:41,455
Don't search for it.

520
00:25:41,755 --> 00:25:45,535
Search for the Confident Mompreneur
podcast wherever you listen to pods.

521
00:25:46,975 --> 00:25:51,505
Hey, we, we appreciate having you
on and yes, this has been so very

522
00:25:51,505 --> 00:25:56,185
Becks: much, this has been so awesome
and thank Good, yeah, yeah, thank you.

523
00:25:56,305 --> 00:26:00,955
I mean, heartfelt, and I think that is
what is so impactful and powerful about

524
00:26:00,955 --> 00:26:06,115
you and your story and everything that
you touch, because you, as I start, when

525
00:26:06,115 --> 00:26:08,305
we started, I said, you are so authentic.

526
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,720
And really, really appreciate that being
vulnerable with all of those experiences

527
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,910
is not always the easiest things.

528
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,710
Thank you so much for
being on the share on this.

529
00:26:19,229 --> 00:26:21,179
Thank you so much for
being on the show and

530
00:26:21,180 --> 00:26:22,230
Kyrie Blaney: sharing your story.

531
00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:25,180
Thank you guys so much for having me.

532
00:26:25,180 --> 00:26:26,860
I was so excited when you reached out.

533
00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:29,080
So I, I really appreciate it.

534
00:26:29,379 --> 00:26:29,439
Yeah,

535
00:26:29,779 --> 00:26:30,259
Just Blane: absolutely.

536
00:26:30,389 --> 00:26:30,870
Anytime.

537
00:26:31,529 --> 00:26:32,129
Anytime.

538
00:26:32,129 --> 00:26:32,699
Becks: Truly.

539
00:26:32,709 --> 00:26:35,829
If you have a message, that is one
thing before we go, we'll wrap.

540
00:26:35,989 --> 00:26:40,089
Um, do you, do you teach any workshops
or anything like that, that we

541
00:26:40,089 --> 00:26:41,329
need to know about any upcoming

542
00:26:41,329 --> 00:26:41,639
Kyrie Blaney: events?

543
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,730
I have lots of upcoming events.

544
00:26:45,790 --> 00:26:51,240
So the SAFE project that I just talked
about is, uh, actually competing in a

545
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,679
competition at the University of Wyoming.

546
00:26:54,679 --> 00:26:57,490
It's called the Spark Tank Competition.

547
00:26:57,869 --> 00:27:02,740
Um, so I'll be speaking on behalf of them
about, you know, their role in everything

548
00:27:02,740 --> 00:27:08,260
that they did for me and, um, just what
an amazing organization that they are.

549
00:27:08,750 --> 00:27:15,025
Um, I'm I am also doing a virtual
summit which is called the Hike Like a

550
00:27:15,155 --> 00:27:21,185
Woman Summit, um, and I'll be talking
about my mental health journey and kind

551
00:27:21,185 --> 00:27:25,855
of how the outdoors really helped me
through that because I'm very outdoorsy.

552
00:27:26,004 --> 00:27:28,905
We were talking about some of the
pictures from my glacier trip actually.

553
00:27:30,865 --> 00:27:35,835
Um, then I will also be doing
a entrepreneurship competition

554
00:27:35,865 --> 00:27:37,595
at the University of Wyoming.

555
00:27:38,425 --> 00:27:42,585
I'll be speaking, um, at the judges
panel and then I will also have

556
00:27:42,585 --> 00:27:44,294
a booth set up outside of it too.

557
00:27:45,165 --> 00:27:48,394
And you can come and see all
of the cool students, uh,

558
00:27:48,415 --> 00:27:50,054
businesses that are up and coming.

559
00:27:51,394 --> 00:27:51,574
That

560
00:27:51,574 --> 00:27:52,514
Becks: is awesome.

00:27:52,515 --> 00:27:54,425
All right.

562
00:27:54,794 --> 00:27:56,615
When I asked about that,
you're not kidding.

563
00:27:56,615 --> 00:27:58,054
You had to like check your calendar.

564
00:27:58,085 --> 00:27:58,455
