Talk Safe To Me – Details, episodes & analysis

Jealousy isn’t just insecurity… It's information.

In this episode, I break down what jealousy actually is, where it comes from, and why so many of us were never taught how to handle it. Instead of judging it or hiding it, what if we learned to listen to it?

Because jealousy doesn’t make you a bad person.
It points to something you care about, something you fear losing, or something you believe you’re lacking.

The real question is: what is it trying to show you?

We’re getting honest about comparison, social media, relationships, and the quiet thoughts people don’t like to admit out loud. No shame—just awareness and growth.

This is the space where we talk less about each other… and more to each other.

🎧 Tune in, reflect, and be real with yourself.

Self-advocacy isn’t loud for the sake of attention — it’s honest for the sake of survival.

In my new podcast episode, I break down what self-advocacy actually looks like in real life. It’s not always confident. It’s not always polished. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable, emotional, and messy… but it’s necessary.

Because silence doesn’t protect you — it harms you.

Staying quiet to keep the peace, to avoid conflict, or to make others comfortable often comes at the cost of your own needs, your voice, and your truth. And over time, that cost adds up.

Self-advocacy is:
– Saying what needs to be said, even when your voice shakes
– Setting boundaries without over-explaining
– Choosing yourself without guilt
– Unlearning the idea that your needs are “too much.”

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, overlooked, or like you had to shrink yourself to be accepted — this episode is for you.

Your voice is not the problem. Your silence is.

Part Two is now live.

In this episode, Dr. Angie Mallory continues her story beyond survival—into searching, reinvention, and chosen family. After exile from her family of origin, Angie shares how she sought belonging through service, education, and structure, and how a pivotal shift after divorce opened the door to freedom, healing, and a new life in Montana.

This conversation explores a powerful truth: we don’t get to choose our blood—but we do get to choose our family. It’s about being human, making mistakes, telling the truth, and building a life that reflects who you are becoming.

Part Three will be available tomorrow. Thank you, "Talk Safe To Me" Family, for listening and joining the conversation!

Episode two of "Talk Safe To Me" is all about identity—how it changes, how it’s challenged, and how we sometimes have to rebuild it from the ground up. I truly believe that while we don’t get to choose our blood, we do get to choose our family, and that belief sits at the core of this conversation. This episode features Dr. Angie Mallory. Angie is a cult escapee, single mom, Navy veteran, former firefighter, business owner, and mustang gentler (yes, really). She’s reinvented herself more times than she can count while navigating survival, healing, and self-discovery. Most recently, she’s added author to that list with her debut novel, Sensual Chalet, written under the pen name Amelia Storm. This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about resilience, chosen family, and what it means to keep becoming who you are—no matter how many times life forces a reset. So listen in and share this with someone who needs it!

This episode introduces the journey behind the podcast, rooted in education, personal change, and a belief that understanding builds safer, stronger communities. It reflects on how learning creates space for healing, dialogue, and collective growth.

In this introductory episode of Talk Safe To Me, host Ashley Kurysh shares the story behind the podcast and the purpose it was created to serve. In a world saturated with heavy news, polarized opinions, and constant noise, this episode explores why anxiety has become such a common experience — and why community conversation matters now more than ever.

Ashley introduces herself as a sociologist with rural roots, a city upbringing, and a lifelong habit of turning lived experience into learning. She reflects on growing up between identities, navigating faith, family, and belonging, and how those experiences shaped her commitment to education, social justice, and creating safe spaces for dialogue.

This episode sets the foundation for the podcast: a non-partisan, respectful space to discuss community, politics, public safety, and the everyday realities that connect us. Listeners will get a sense of what to expect from future episodes, the types of guests who will join the conversation, and why listening — without judgment — is a powerful act.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure where you fit in the conversation, this episode is an invitation to slow down, lean in, and start learning together.

… but let’s talk about it honestly 🎙️

We hear it all the time—
“Just think it and feel it, and it will come.”

But what happens when you can’t just feel abundant?
When your environment, your stress, your past… all say otherwise?

This episode breaks it down in a real way:

✨ Why the Law of Attraction isn’t just about thought—it’s about attention
✨ How your environment shapes what you’re able to feel
✨ The pressure behind “staying positive”
✨ And how to actually shift your focus without ignoring reality

This is where spirituality meets real life. No bypassing.

If you’ve ever felt like manifestation isn’t “working” for you—this is your episode.

Some moments in life change you forever. Witnessing the loss of a loved one is one of them.

In this episode, I sit down with Jade Gallowy to talk about the real impact of traumatic loss—not just emotionally, but physically. From shock and anxiety to hyper-awareness and grief that lingers, this is a conversation many people feel… but don’t always talk about.

This episode is also deeply personal for me. After losing my father, I understand how grief can reshape your world—and your path forward.

But this isn’t just a story about loss. It’s about what comes after.

Jade shares how that experience led her to rebuild her life, advance her education, and step into a career helping families create stability and financial security.

✨ This is a conversation about resilience and finding purpose through pain.

🚨 What is the Brady List — and why should the public care?

Most people have never heard of the Brady List, but it plays a major role in the justice system.

A Brady List is a record kept by prosecutors that identifies police officers whose credibility has been officially questioned due to misconduct.

This can include things like:
• Lying under oath
• Filing false reports
• Evidence tampering
• Fabricating or altering evidence
• Misleading investigators

Why does this matter?

Because of the court ruling Brady v. Maryland (1963), prosecutors are legally required to disclose evidence that could affect a trial. That includes information that could show a witness — even a police officer — may not be reliable.

So if an officer is on the Brady List, defense lawyers must be informed before that officer testifies in court.

⚖️ The purpose is simple: fair trials depend on transparency.

But here’s the part many people don’t realize…

There is no single national Brady List, and many of these lists are not publicly available. In many places, the public cannot easily see which officers have been flagged for credibility issues.

Which raises an important question for all of us:

❓ Should information that could affect someone’s freedom be kept hidden from the public?

Transparency builds trust.
And trust is essential in any justice system.
