With an unabashed delivery and honest assessments of the social, romantic and professional lives of some of the biggest names in entertainment and more, Dr. Cheyenne Bryant is blazing a new path for herself as on-camera talent. Crystal and Dr. Bryant discuss her professional trajectory, her deeply personal dating history and how she's embracing her season of singleness.
Chapter 1: What is the introduction to the episode?
Coming up on Keep It Positive, Sweetie.
Marriage is not about kumbaya, it's about commitment. It's about, I said I was going to lock in with you, Crystal, and be your best friend. And no matter what happens, I already forgive you. And no matter what happens, I'm going to talk it out. I'm going to have a conversation. And divorce ain't an option. So we have no other option but to bring resolve in this friendship.
And if my friendships aren't on that foundation, guess what? I don't want them.

Chapter 3: How does Dr. Bryant maintain her mental health?
um and she treats me like i'm four years old and as crazy as that sounds i feel like it's important for all of us to be somebody's baby no matter how old we are and still being her baby um it just it it it's my it's like it helps me be vertical and it gives me a lot to stand on so no matter where i'm at in the world no matter what the blogs or the people are saying in that moment in that space
I have these people that I stand on. And so it feels really good. And in addition, I meditate every day for 20 minutes. I've been doing that for 10 years. I'm big on Abraham Hicks, Bishop Jakes. I'm always listening to my audio books. I'm not a TV person, although I don't watch TV, but I did love your, as a team, a show.
I used to go in there and be like, I'm gonna binge watch this even though I don't watch TV. But so I do all those things and that helps keep the outside chatter completely outside. A ship sails as long as the outside water doesn't get inside. And the ship that, the material that the ship is built with, I would say is your friends, your family, the people who support you, who love you.
If you got folks who are solid and who are built, that ship is going to sail no matter what. And their job is to make sure that the outside chatter stays out. And then my job is to do that as well with them. And we do a damn good job over here.
We do.
I mean, I have a team, I'm telling you, because we have a real marriage where marriage is not about Kumbaya, it's about commitment. It's about, I said I was going to lock in with you, Crystal, and be your best friend. And no matter what happens, I already forgive you. And no matter what happens, I'm going to talk it out. I'm going to have a conversation. And divorce ain't an option.
So we have no other option but to bring resolve in this friendship. And if my friendships aren't on that foundation, guess what? I don't want them.
I love it. It looks like you live what you preach even in your friendships. Because we talk about your relationships and you give advice on relationships. But it sounds like you do that also in your friendships. That's amazing. I do.
Because I tell my girls all the time, my best friend may be like, you didn't have to say it like that. I said, girl, what were we going to do to get over it?

Chapter 4: What does Dr. Bryant look for in a partner?
And she's like just stalling on getting her passport. It's so cute. So we took her to Hawaii and she hit about that third hour on that flight. She was fussing and cutting up.
Me and my brother, we were like, oh, my God. Like, Mom, stop. Stop. She was like, this is too, I'm getting past the phone. Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed. The people next to us were like, can you move this woman?
I was like, I'm sorry. Oh my gosh.
But did she have fun when she got there?
She had a time.
She put her little bathing suit on and she was just, we went dolphin watching and swimming with the dolphins. It was adorable. We had a good time.
I love it. You're very open about dating. We spoke offline about you're from Los Angeles, but you are here working a lot. And you talked about how the dating, it's not really a lot going on here. It's not. We can talk about that. You know what?
And also I'm in session from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I leave at 5.15 to go on set at 6 to film my new talk show. And then I'm home at 11.30. And it's Truth Talks. It's called Truth Talks on Fox.
Thank you.

Chapter 5: What are the key questions to ask on a first date?
The pastor of 2918, Phillip Mitchell, I don't want to misquote his name, but he's a pastor here and he was saying that marriages can be stronger sometimes after infidelity if the both partners
work towards it and they can kind of learn more about yourselves and what you can handle but then going in and doing the work together to change you sometimes you can come out even stronger on the other side of that i love that yeah because i always say the bible says seek wise counsel and when it's referring to seeking wise counsel when it comes to marriage
Folks have been married 15 20 30 40 years. They're not teaching you how to be happy They're teaching you how to stick through the BS that's gonna come with life Whether you're single or married right right no matter what you're doing life is gone life And they're teaching you that when y'all get to this space when you get to this Red Sea yeah don't get weary in well doing, it'll split.
And so it's telling you, when you get to the other side, there's a promised land or a wilderness depending on what you choose. And if you choose to complain after the Red Sea has split, God will give you manna and water to help you sustain that wilderness, but he'll put you in that wilderness for 40 years before you get to the promised land.
and so that's why i said it's not about a woman or a man being dumb for staying through anything in their marriage or even relationship it's about do you have the effective tools to not end up in a wilderness 20 30 more years in your marriage because you're resentful for staying with this person for what you know they did yeah how do you actively forgive because forgiveness is an action word yeah and how can you still love them and honor them
when they just dishonored you. Cause that's real.

Chapter 6: How does transparency play a role in relationships?
That's the real work.
And so I'm working on that before I get into that. And I feel like me coming in open-minded, without all of these conditions in compartmentalizing like I did in my younger days when I was engaged, coming in with these conditions, if this happens, if this happens, I'm done. Well, baby, you already done.
Because something's gonna happen. Them things is gonna happen. Yeah.
You're done.
No, that's right.
And if you have this fairytale ideology, fairytales end at some point.
That was me. That was me. For the longest. And I feel like Disney just kind of warped our minds, and I wanted that. And I dated a guy, and he goes, you just want this fairy tale, and it does not exist. And I'm like, yes, it does. And he's like, give it to me now. Yes. And he's like, no, it does not. And I'm finally realizing it does not.
And it's because after I hear people talk about their truths that have been married for so long and I'm literally like idolizing their relationship, like that's what I want, that's what I want. And they tell me, no, honey, it was not all roses. It still isn't. But this is my person. So it's so true.
And you got to learn how to to see in others what you want to see in them and what you want to experience. That has been one of my biggest blessings is what do I want to experience with Crystal? So what lens do I have to see? I have to see that in her because I'm responsible for my experience.

Chapter 7: What does it mean to choose a partner over marriage?
And in a marriage or a relationship, do I want to see my husband as having to be perfect so that I'm always having to find something I can criticize for? Or can I just accept him for being a man and say, that's my husband?
Yeah.
That's just the stuff, girl, girl. And I take them in dosage sometimes, right? How do we do that? And then the other thing is the Bible says marriage is for disciplined people.
You were just speaking on the breakfast club. Yes, yes.
And that's because I have to be disciplined enough to know also how to self-soothe when you're only at 60% of satisfying me. What do I do with that 40%? Do I self-soothe? Do I cheat? Yeah. Do I ridicule you? Do I emasculate you? Does he disempower you? Does he have a side chick for the 40% you can't cover that he knew you couldn't cover when he first met you?
You knew this when you got with this woman. You knew this. Or when you become the mother of his children, how does he self-soothe while you're transitioning from mommyhood to duality of wife and mommy?
Yeah. I hear it on both sides. That's where the discipline comes in. Yes.

Chapter 8: How can couples navigate challenges after infidelity?
And my first fiance's mom, she was so amazing at this. When we first got engaged, she took me on this ride, girl. And she was like, okay, honey, I got to talk to you. And I'm like, okay. And she's like, you know, I buy you lingerie for birthdays and Christmas. That's for my son, which I loved. I was like, okay.
And she was like, you know, and when y'all have your first kids, I just want you to know. I just want you to know. Now, that hole down there may not work. But as a wife, you have other holes and you have a mouth. His mom said that to you? Let me tell you how genius, though, I thought that was. Because she was looking out for her son.
She was saying she had been married about 40 years to his father at that time. As a married woman, she's saying, let me just tell you what has worked for us and possibly maybe the mistakes she might have made.
That's good, yeah.
And I just thought, wow, if more moms would have that real authentic conversation versus just, you know, honey, just get married and, you know, ride off on a horse in the midnight hours. That doesn't work. It's not that. No. What do we do when I have this baby and he has needs and I can't deliver? What are the alternatives? How do we communicate that?
How do I make sure that baby and father or husband both feel seen and loved, how do I communicate to him that my hormones are crazy and I need more reassurance?
Yes.
And I'm not insecure. And if I am, so what?
Yeah.
