421: "Pursuing big dreams and goals"
Hello friends! Bringing you something a little different this summer, bite-size episodes that you can enjoy with a little more frequency than usual. Over these next few episodes, you'll get to hear from my friend and former coach, Andrew Moss! We had the opportunity to sit down together in June in Washington DC. That's where my book tour took me, and it was such fun to meet Andrew in person while he was there as part of his sailing race around the world. Andrew suggested that we record a conversation together focused on my new book, Waking Up – since, as he shares somewhere in here, "we are two of the characters who show up with some frequency!" This is the fourth installment you'll get to hear - it is from the podcast that Andrew and I create together about his journey around the world, Where in the World is Andrew Moss? Hope you enjoy. Happy summer! Thank you for being along on this journey with me. I appreciate you! Waking Up, my new memoir, in paperback: https://amzn.to/3VlbEak Art Creativity & Wellbeing, my letter that goes into peoples' inboxes: https://kaylockkolp.substack.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weturnedoutokay/ LinkedIn: Search 'Kay Lock Kolp' And you can find me at https://kaylockkolp.com..

415: It was fun while it lasted
Important note: I'm fine and the podcast is not ending! This episode's title was said - unironically, because that's who she is - by a beloved colleague of mine in her last-ever posting in social media. During today's episode you'll find out more about her. Also, friend-of-the-podcast Janine Halloran has invited me to be the guest expert in her wonderful Community Hub! Janine writes: "Kay's second book, Waking Up, is about her identity shift from a helicopter parent (living for everybody else) to becoming her whole, strong, unapologetic and true self. "We'll discuss our well-being and how much more supportive we are for others when we are in a place well-being ourselves. This is not easy to accomplish… We'll talk about what that could look like in our complex modern lives. "There will be time for Q&A at the end – join us live so you can ask Kay your questions!" Here is the registration link for the event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/876647284627?aff=oddtdtcreator Thank you for listening! Lots of love and gratitude to you from me :) Kay Find me at https://kaylockkolp.com And Instagram @weturnedoutokay PS Today I ask a question "What is the last thing you'd like to share out with the world?"

412: Enjoying the Adventure with Gary Marcus Judge
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.. https://youtu.be/BqrtRLbbxhs You can find Gary at https://garymarcusjudge.com/en/ And you can find me at https://kaylockkolp.com..
