Mikyah Davis is Making Herself Known

In this episode

In this episode I sit down with Mikyah Davis, a junior at Oklahoma State University who is doing so much more than most of us were doing at her age. She hosts a podcast called Known or Unknown, encouraging mental, physical, and spiritual health and wellness. She's also a model, a budding photographer, and a future entrepreneur with two big business dreams she's already laying the groundwork for. And funny enough, Mikyah and I met in the most unconventional way — she called me one day, asked about my occupation, and when I said "podcaster," we just started talking. I love that.

What struck me most about Mikyah is that she's not living on autopilot. She's asking herself the honest questions — am I mentally healthy? am I physically healthy? am I doing the right things? — and she's inviting the rest of us to do the same. We talk about how she found the courage to record her very first episode with no script, how her confidence shifted once it was rooted in her faith rather than herself, and how her cousin Gavin, who has Down syndrome, inspired her dream of a gym with specialized trainers for people with special needs.

We also swap notes on morning routines, reading the Bible, saying no so you can say yes to yourself, and this year's theme of growth. Mikyah is such an encouragement, especially to other young women. Come connect, learn and grow with us — and keep going.
