Today’s guest is living proof that survival is just the beginning.

Meet Karyssa Kestranek—a traumatic brain injury survivor, motivational speaker, and Good Life Ambassador with the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities.

After a devastating motorcycle crash left her in a month-long coma and given only a 1% chance to live, Karyssa didn’t just recover—she rewrote her entire story.

Now, nearly 15 years later, she’s using her voice to inspire others and remind us that no matter how far you fall, your comeback can be your calling.

This episode is about:

• Choosing life again and again

• Moving through trauma with power and purpose

• Turning pain into a platform for healing and advocacy

You’ll walk away from this conversation with goosebumps, perspective, and a deep reminder that you are stronger than you know.

And always—keep embracing the extraordinary within the ordinary. 💛

Today on Surpassing Circles, we’re celebrating unstoppable spirit, unapologetic advocacy, and the beauty of living life on your own terms.

Meet Shaye Taylor—Special Olympics Ohio athlete, LGBTQ+ advocate, cashier, sister, speaker, and all-around force of nature.

Born and raised in Cleveland’s West Park neighborhood, Shaye has never fit into a box—and she’s never tried to. Whether she’s gliding across the ice in a figure skating routine or knocking down pins on the bowling lane, Shaye shows us what it means to lead with joy, resilience, and radical self-determination.

She shares this passion for sport and self-expression with her twin sister, Sharita—who’s also an athlete and advocate in her own right.

As a Good Life Ambassador for the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities, Shaye uses her voice to break barriers and build bridges—championing both disability inclusion and LGBTQ+ visibility in a world that often tries to silence both.

Whether she’s behind a microphone or behind the register at Marc’s, one thing’s for sure: Shaye doesn’t just surpass labels—she shatters them.

This is one of those conversations that will stay with you.
Let’s get into it.

If choosing rest, setting boundaries, or saying no makes you “selfish”—then maybe selfish isn’t such a bad thing.

In this powerful episode of Surpassing Labels, we’re reclaiming the word that’s been used for too long to keep women small, overextended, and soul-tired. Felicia invites you to flip the script, speak your truth, and take up space—without apology.

✨ Inside this episode:

• Why “selfish” is often code for “no longer abandoning yourself”

• The emotional double standards women face when they choose themselves

• Permission slips to say out loud (and write on your bathroom mirror)

• A grounded reminder: You don’t owe your depletion to anyone

This is the reminder you didn’t know you needed:
You are not selfish.
And your peace matters.
