About - The Dailey Bailey

Hey there, I’m Krystle!

Ya know, before I sat down to write this “about” page, I looked at my former bios for inspiration - things I’ve used for publications that I wrote for, shows I was featured on, or websites I created. I have used many words to describe myself over the years, but anything I tell you would be some version of “what I do” and not really who I am.

So let me try to tell you who I AM, and I’ll give you the cliff notes on what I’ve done in between.

I am a mother. And I don’t just mean that because I have birthed children, but because I have the heart of a mother. You know the roaring momma lion heart? The one that will nurture gently but destroy as needed to protect what she loves? That kind of heart. I’ve known since I was a child that motherhood would be in my future, and if I lived in different times, I’d probably have had 10 kids.

But, I have two really dope kids who are more than enough for these 2 hands - a 15-year-old daughter & 10-year-old son. And, I’m married to their equally dope dad.

A little more about who I Am…….

The affirmations in my journal often look a little like this:

I am love.

I am peace.

I am freedom.

I am health.

I am here.

& when I think about how I want people to remember me after I’m gone, I hope it’s with the fondness of a person who shows you that it’s okay to be ALL of who you are.

Now, do I think I’m some saint? F*ck No. I’m as human as they come. I just believe in the power of our words, and I strive to BE love….to feel at peace….. to live as freedom….. to exude health….. and to BE fully present in each and every moment.

I’m learning, growing, evolving, and healing every single day.

I am a communicator.

More specifically, I am a writer. But, using my voice in its various forms has been the charge of my lifetime. Since I was a child, I’ve written books about my daydreams; as a young adult, I was introduced to the world as a blogger. I’ve gone on to author a book, write for newspaper publications, ghostwrite for other businesses, create a huge poetry portfolio, and more.

Writing’s been my thing.. but I can also get on a microphone as needed and facilitate a conversation, which is why I’ve created and curated many networking and educational events throughout my career. I look forward to bringing some of that to this platform.

SO, why here? Why Substack? Why now?

Well, I’ve done a lot in this life.

I’ve seen a lot, met a lot of people, learned a lot of lessons, and I think I have a unique perspective on some things. I try to expand my mind and consciousness in such a way that allows me to feel free in this weird little world we’re inhabiting. I almost thought I was done sharing publicly, but then a friend introduced me to the world of Substack.

As I began to explore, I was relieved to find a community of people who valued writing and content created by people like me. Everything could be in ONE place, and I don’t have to prove myself with numbers to be seen.

If you’re here, you’re here because you WANT to be, and I value that beyond words.

I really don’t have the fight in me to prove myself with the youngins on TikTOk and what not ….aint much tickin’ and tockin’ left in these bones. What I do have is the heart to share.

I love to eat, travel, learn, read, connect, create, and more. I wrote two books and plan to write a few more. I’m a little bit of everything all rolled into one, and I kinda like it that way. I have some BIG ideas about what self-love really means. I love a good mental health conversation.. how I view spirituality is multifaceted and unique, though you’ll often hear me refer to God as “God.” (It might also look like The Universe, Source, or some other variation here and there but I’ll write a post about it.)

I look forward to igniting conversation, providing resourceful information in the arenas that matter, and getting to know some new friends along the way.

So, I hope you enjoy what I have to say! It’ll evolve with us.

Let’s just give it a whirl together. xo
