Enjoy! So much love, Kay Here’s the link to Dr. Pamela’s website… Here is our conversation on video: And I want to say thank you and share a story in these notes today. So here goes! Thank You Two years ago I began asking myself the question, “Who gets to decide if I’m an artist or not“ Lots of listeners and viewers of this show have supported me as I have seen that the answer is, “Me!” I get to decide. Now I joyfully share my art out with gratitude and love And that is what I receive back. Early on this art journey a friend and beloved colleague shook up my thinking When he shared his frustration with the “starving artist“ stereotype. I began dreaming about creating art and joyfully sharing it out… And what if that art could support me and my family? What a fun journey to be on I’m so grateful in my heart for all the support. And I’m offering that gratitude out in a sale! 50% savings on all my paintings now through November 30 So if you’ve had your eye on a Kay Or if you’d like to give the gift of my original fine art to loved ones Now is your opportunity Link is THANK YOU for helping me realize this dream With love, Kay

Hi friends! Here's the link: Here are the deets!.. For someone who needed a wheelchair 12 years ago, my achievement by the numbers is astonishing: I hiked 160 miles along this path… I hiked 17 of 20 possible hiking days… I hiked the last 11 days in a row, without rest days. But amazing as they are those numbers do not tell the whole story. Here’s what REALLY happened… I met my whole, unbroken self on the trail. The self that got hidden away by illness and life events.

This is a special episode. Somewhere fairly early on my guest, amazing middle-school-teacher-turned-connection-coach Elise Knox, decides she's going to go deep. And she really does! If you want to hear how someone can transcend the roles they were born into, the expectations others had for them and instead make their own choice about who they are and what they love, you're in the right place. If you want to hear the story of someone's rise above illness and the other massive challenges they confronted, you are going to LOVE our conversation. Then stay tuned! After speaking with Elise I share about how I got well and truly lost on a hike recently. Do you remember that scene in Maverick, Top Gun 2, where he wanders all disoriented into a diner somewhere in the United States? My son and I wandered into a dollar store miles away from where we left our car (weirdly just the day after we watched that movie). I felt exactly like Maverick, so disoriented. It turns out that training to walk across the north of England isn't just physical training. It's mindset as well. Plus I've got an update for you about the upcoming virtual retreat I am cohosting on "Feeling hopeful in challenging times"! It's the weekend of October 29th and 30th, invitation coming just after this episode drops! My cohost and I along with 10 other coaches will put our heart and soul into this retreat. It's going to be awesome and very helpful if you feel in flux due to challenges in your life. There will be no cost to attend and we appreciate donations of any amount to the amazing nonprofit https://onesolutionglobal.org If this feels like your jam then make sure to mark your calendar!

389: Doing “what gives you joy“ with solo trekker Katherine Leamy
Today's guest, Katherine Leamy, has been a huge inspiration for me while planning my upcoming walk across the north of England! I am thrilled to bring Katherine to you today. Her story may sound familiar, giving of herself as a wife, mom, and nurse… and realizing that she wanted to do something for herself. Realizing that in fact it's better for everybody if she does this, plus she really simply wanted to... So Katherine traveled from her home in New Zealand all the way to Croatia! And she's been on many trips since that first one back in 2017. Our conversation goes deep, way beyond the practical how-to of a solo trip (you can find lots about the practical how-to at Katherine's wonderful website, : ) I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did! Here are today's links… Today's guest Katherine Leamy's website, The link to my story if you'd like to read more about my upcoming walk across the north of England...

388: Building your life how YOU really want it

388: Building your life how YOU really want it
I'm glad you are here! Here's a summary of the steps to creating the life you actually want to live: 1. Pay attention to your self-talk. You get to choose whether you believe it or not. 2. Remember that when people feel good, they do good things. If someone isn't doing a good thing it's because they feel bad. 3. Cultivate feeling good by choosing to… Not the other way around. I.e. it's not "good things happen so I feel good"… It's "when I feel good, good things happen" 4. Ask, how might you cultivate feeling good? Here's how I do it… Much love, Kay PS As of this month I am retiring my newsletter… After writing it for 7 years I'm understanding that it's not the best place for me to place my creative energy. I have a huge THANK YOU for those of you who have been a part of the newsletter! Corresponding with you is a joy in my life. I want to celebrate that in this moment. I'm celebrating you right now <3 This link will take you to lots of options for connecting with me even after the last issue of my newsletter is published… Links for today's episode: My favorite tarot deck, I'm so excited to share my new website! It's hosted by dear friends of ours, people who babysat our firstborn when he was four months old. It feels so good and streamlined with why I'm building my life right now: for essays, my book Positive Discipline Ninja Tactics, and every single 2021 issue of the We Turned Out Okay Playbook My is LIVE!! So you can see some of what I am creating : ) Thank you for being here! It means a lot!
