Practical Intuition with Kay

Supporting the inner lives of us grown-ups… I help people "knock the bricks off their wings and truly fly," as one client beautifully put it... I'm Kay, an artist, author, and coach. I live in Massachusetts, USA, with my husband, sons, and our 12-1/2-year-old pet chicken. Connect with me at kaylockkolp.com. PS This show used to be called We Turned Out Okay… You're in the right place! The first 375-ish episodes were created with that name. Much has changed around here, but much has stayed the same. I'm glad you are here!

I've been super excited to bring you this conversation! 

Today we hear from a one-to-one coaching client of mine, Angela. You'll hear her talk about some of the biggest struggles she had before we began working together – "Being overworked and not knowing how to stop;" and being "So fragmented mentally."
If you're feeling something similar, this conversation may be just what you need.
Because Angela's not feeling that way anymore. 
Instead, she shares about feeling "faster at giving into my happy." 
That's where all the good, interesting, playful and fun stuff starts.

We recorded back in late summer, and here is a testament to the power of this conversation: just this morning I was speaking to my teen, and remembering today's guest, Shane Trotter, telling about research on drug addiction. This research was called the "rat playground," in which the positive societies that the rats lived in during the research made it easy for them to turn away from the powerful drugs – like cocaine – that were available 24/7 in the playground.
If you need some hope that things will be okay, THIS is your conversation.
As a young adult, Shane developed a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder called Pino OCD.  And like me with my tendon challenges over the last decade, Shane has found this to be as much a gift as anything else. He wouldn't be who he is today without Pino OCD.
Shane has written a great book, Setting the Bar, which is out just this week and which I know you're going to love. We discuss Setting the Bar, so you'll get a flavor for it. 
There's so much else in here to love. I am excited to share a conversation that I personally found enlightening, inspiring, and so much fun!
