In this episode, Keysi shares how modeling and pageantry helped her build confidence, how mechanical engineering gave her discipline and mental toughness, and how competing on the world stage taught her to separate her identity from other people’s opinions.
The conversation also pulls back the curtain on the pageant world, showing the pressure, preparation, criticism, and emotional strength required behind the scenes. Keysi speaks openly about the misconceptions people have about pageantry, the mental toll of public judgment, and the lessons she carried with her after Miss Universe.
Now living in Canada, Keysi is a wife, mother, mentor, and advocate for helping kids and women step into their confidence. She discusses motherhood, raising her daughter with strength and self-belief, encouraging young girls to explore STEM, and building a marriage rooted in admiration, humour, and shared values.
This is a powerful episode about confidence, identity, womanhood, motherhood, and learning how to become more yourself through every stage of life.
What people say is more about them than you. You’ve got to believe it. You’ve got to trust yourself. You’ve got to love yourself.
