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. (Which often come down to how we can be a good support for ourselves : ) Here's the link to the video in YouTube.. https://youtu.be/tYHRiHelTlY You can find Frederick at his Assistant Principal Podcast and at https://frederickbuskey.com. And you can find me at https://kaylockkolp.com.. Wishing you well until next time! Love, Kay This is a public episode.

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 Link is https://bit.ly/kayartsale2023 THANK YOU for helping me realize this dream With love, Kay This is a public episode.

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 is a public episode.
