Getting By Isn’t Living: TNFlyGirl Part 2
The KBlend Show — Saturday, September 19, 2026, at 1 p.m. Eastern.
Have you been calling it “doing fine” because you can still get through the day?
You go to work. You take care of what has to be done. When someone asks how you are, you know the answer: “I’m okay.”
But the things you used to look forward to take more effort. You avoid a conversation because you don’t have the energy for it. Someone you love says you seem distant, and you don’t know how to explain that getting through the day is already taking everything you have.
When did getting by become enough to ask of life?
Watch together this Saturday
Join John and Christa Klyder for TNFlyGirl Part 2: Getting By Isn’t Living. Set a reminder and invite someone you would like to have this conversation with.
Set a reminder on YouTubeWhat have we learned to live without?
In TNFlyGirl Part 2, John and Christa return to a heartbreaking story with compassion for the family behind the headlines—and a question for those of us listening: what have we learned to live without while telling ourselves we’re fine?
Maybe you recognize the frustration of trying another medication and still wondering when life will feel different. Maybe you’re watching someone you love pull further away, unsure how to reach them. Or maybe you’ve lived this way so long that you can’t remember what you would ask for if “getting by” weren’t the goal.
The first episode explored skills, decisions and warning signs in the cockpit. This conversation brings those questions home: what are we explaining away, and what concern has someone we trust tried to raise?
Three moments to listen for
When struggle starts to feel normal
What have you accepted as “just how I am”? At 29:35, the conversation asks whether a familiar struggle has become the standard by which you judge everything else.

Read the source alongside the conversation
The NTSB final report identifies failure to maintain airplane control as the probable cause. It discusses medications detected after the accident but says the evidence was insufficient to establish whether medication effects contributed. The hosts’ interpretations are distinct from the report’s findings; toxicology is not a confirmed diagnosis of the pilot.

This conversation is educational. For questions about prescribed medication or daily safety, speak with your prescribing professional. Do not change medication based on a broadcast. Your situation deserves its own careful assessment.
