Kyy Mosely shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Kyy, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me right now starts semi-early. I wake up, pray, meditate, and try to pour into myself before my son wakes up. Once he’s up, the day really starts — we get dressed, eat breakfast, and then it’s schoolwork time for both of us (yes, I’m in grad school now). After lunch, we usually hit the town and find something fun and kid-friendly to do together. Later, we come home, I study some more while he plays, I cook dinner, and then we reset and do it all over again the next day.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Kyy M! I am a serial entrepreneur, mother, grad student, and life of the party when I am baby-free, at least. I own three businesses, but the one that has my most focus currently is Selfish Muva. Selfish Muva is a movement and a mindset where mamas learn to put themselves first without guilt, protect their peace, and step into the power of unapologetically. It’s about raising kids and standards, choosing joy, and making Muva the main character again.
I am currently working on a workbook for a guide for tired muvas who’ve had enough. Which should be available by October 2025.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Honestly? Communication and lies. Really, the lack of one and the presence of the other, that’s what breaks bonds for me. Trust is fragile, and once it’s broken, there’s no quick fix. The only way it can be restored is if both people are willing to put in the work. But me? I protect my peace first. If you don’t respect my boundaries, especially when it comes to my son, I have no problem blocking access to both of us.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
While I still find myself hiding my pain at times, as healing isn’t always a straight path, I’ve definitely learned how to transform it into strength. The birth of my son was a turning point; I could no longer keep things bottled up. Becoming his mother compelled me to confront my pain directly, so I could be the best version of myself for him. He has given me a strength I never knew I possessed.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
The public version of me is real, but it’s not all of me. I’m very intentional about what I share because I value my privacy, but my personality? That’s 100% authentic. If you’re in my channel, you definitely get a deeper glimpse into who I am beyond what I put out publicly.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
If I knew I only had 10 years left, I’d stop stressing over money immediately. Money comes and goes, but time? That’s priceless. I’d spend those years traveling, making memories with my son, and giving him moments he’ll carry forever. My focus would be making sure he’s loved, secure, and taken care of long after I’m gone.
