449: Minding My Own Business (Our First "Lost" Tools Chat)

Greetings! Today's episode is the first-ever chat with my friend and colleague Andrew Moss regarding the tools that we developed together as I was training to solo-hike across northern England in 2023.This was done as a LinkedIn live back in Winter 2025, and I hear a little bit of nervous energy in my voice as we get rolling in the conversation. I wonder if you'll hear that as well?

Today we chat about a tool we call Minding My Own Business. This was, and continues to be even today, something I bring patience for myself with. When I am going through something, part of my brain is really challenged to mind its own business. Hope this is helpful if you're familiar with those moments too.

You can look forward to a whole month worth of Tools Chats – “lost episodes”! We recorded them out over winter and spring 2025, and I’ve been really looking forward to the opportunity to get them to you.

Hope you enjoy!

About this Series…

It’s really a podcast within a podcast!In these “Waking Up: The Tools” conversations Andrew and I discuss the essential tools we developed that helped me grow into the person who hiked all by myself across northern England in 2023… After needing a wheelchair to go more than a few steps in 2011.

We’ve called this series Waking up: The Tools because they’re featured in my award-winning memoir, Waking Up.

See you soon! Thank you for being along on the journey.With Love,

Kay
