Healing, Hope, and Homemade Cookies: Conversations with Dr. Kyri Mosey
Manage episode 479977512 series 3529867
Dr. Kyri Mosley's journey from hospital beds to cookie sheets will leave you inspired and hungry for more. Diagnosed with stage four Ewing sarcoma in 2019 and told her treatment was "pretty inhumane," she not only survived but transformed her life's purpose. Today, she stands proudly as a "thriver" who turned personal trauma into sweet success.
As the founder of Kyri's Cookies—named one of Oprah's favorites in 2023—Dr. Kyri brings something genuinely unique to the bakery world. Her cookies contain zero white flour or sugar, using only organic ingredients that she originally perfected while making bread for her children. At six ounces each (that's four standard cookies in one!), these treats don't just satisfy your sweet tooth—they revolutionize what a cookie can be.
But there's so much more to Dr. Kyri than her delicious creations. With 34 years in healthcare and a PhD in psychology with a concentration in biblical counseling, she approaches business with the heart of a healer. Her virtual talk show "Dr. Kyri Listens" embodies her philosophy that "healing begins with being heard," creating space for trauma survivors to share their stories while finding community and understanding.
What truly sets Dr. Kyri apart is her unwavering kindness. She shares a touching story about a 9-year-old boy who gave her a $20 tip simply because he recognized her authentic kindness—noting she didn't wear a "Be Kind" shirt like others who don't actually live those values. This moment captures the essence of her approach to both business and life: genuine care for others that transcends marketing and branding.
Looking ahead, Dr. Kyri plans to expand her cookie empire while creating employment opportunities for people with special needs and those reentering society after incarceration. Her story reminds us that our greatest challenges can become our most powerful purpose when we lead with compassion and remain true to our values.
