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!

Hi friends! I am SO excited to share this conversation with teacher, coach, and entrepreneur Gary Marcus Judge. Gary and I met when he invited me onto his show, BeWell - here's the link https://youtu.be/FmgIuUrsaEs?si=hwBOQsYrCUogm-Qi -  to talk about "decision making from the heart." 

That, I think, is where Gary's strength lies - in being along on the journey with others, inviting collaboration and sharing from his heart.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with this genuine, warm, and helpful human being.

Here's the link to the video in YouTube..

Hi friends! Today is a conversation that I have been so looking forward to sharing with you!
In it I get to talk with Frederick Buskey, a creator, author and educator who has lots of good ideas on supporting others.

I am thrilled to share my conversation with Dr. Pamela Ellis today!

Dr. Pamela goes deep in our conversation, sharing about early experiences and how they have shaped her into the person she is today…

Someone truly passionate about getting helping young adults be on the path of their true choice.
Enjoy!
So much love,
Kay

Here’s the link to Dr. Pamela’s website…
https://compasscollegeadvisory.com/

Here is our conversation on video:
https://youtu.be/U6oer6q8Jio

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

THANK YOU for helping me realize this dream
With love,
Kay

Hi friends, today I recorded a conversation with Frederick Buskey, an educator and author and podcaster who embodies leadership from the heart.

The full interview will be out a little later in the year, but I wanted to share a part of it today in hopes it helps you navigate through challenging times. 

Frederick reminds us of an important, not complicated, thing we can do that really REALLY helps.

And if I can be a support for you as you're going through something, please don't hesitate to reach out.

So much love from me.

This episode was originally called "Were you homesick?" and other great questions I was asked..

And I changed it because that's a question I answer in an upcoming episode! I apologize for the confusion :)

I continue to be asked such great questions about my solo hike across northern England this past May!

I answer quite a few of them here : )

(Well, except for 3 new friends who you'll hear about in Episode 402 : )

What does it look like to create your life from a loving and trusting place inside yourself?
That's the question that Coach Andrew Moss invites us to consider.
Not just us, himself…

In a little less than three weeks from the release of today's episode, Andrew will leave life as he's known it and head out into an exciting future, racing around the world in a clipper ship!

Our conversation ranges to some interesting places – like why selfishness is good; how to handle pressure; and how to truly tune into our own inner wisdom.

And we keep coming back to a central concept: taking care of ourselves benefits EVERYONE.

Enjoy!!

Hi friends! Here's the link: https://bit.ly/gateclmbr

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.
It was messy, and muddy, and exhilarating and wild.
Join me as I share what I learned about myself crossing England!

Tues. June 27, 7PM Eastern Time
Sat. July 1, 2PM Eastern Time

Nick Jubber brings all sorts of interests – storytelling, nomadism, connections, humanity – into his life and writing.
This is a fantastic conversation that I'm so excited to bring you today, with an accomplished and consummate sharer of ideas. Nick's writing appears in all sorts of publications including The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Globe and Mail, and BBC Online. Nick has spoken on NPR and BBC Radio 4, as well as at numerous festivals. Nick's written plays performed at places like the Edinborough Festival and the Actor's Centre in London.
Today we begin with the provocative drama teacher who set Nick on his way in his early years… and we arrive at ideas that truly leave this podcaster speechless.
That's a pretty tall order and something that hasn't happened often in nearly 400 episodes!

Then heads up - it sounds like the episode's going to wrap up when the interview ends… but that's not the case!
I bring you an ADHD/CECS update and share something I'm excited about: The Asynchronous Idea Party of 2023.

k (at) kaylockkolp (dot) com or kaylockkolp.com/contact to share your idea!
Remember… What you want AND what the obstacle is to what you want.
Let's get this party started –
Happy new year!

Links Worth Clicking (which is how my friend Blake refers to them : )

Find everything Nick does at nickjubber.com, including his new book, The Fairy Tellers. Our conversation centers around fairytales today, and Nick shares that this book is probably why.

Find Nick on Instagram @NickJubber

Cheers! I am glad we are along for this ride together!!
