399: Coming from a place of "total love and care for ourselves" with Coach Andrew Moss
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!!

Live Event: What I learned about myself solo-crossing England on foot!
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 https://bit.ly/gateclmbr With Love, Kay This is a public episode.

393: Beautiful and Terrifying… The power of story with author and adventurer Nick Jubber
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 Find me and everything I do at kaylockkolp.com Find me on Instagram @weturnedoutokay (this is where you can see the video of me gently climbing… then giggling : ) Click yearcompass.com/en for the planning document I'm using this year. It comes up in the second part of today's episode. Cheers! I am glad we are along for this ride together!! This is a public episode.

392: The Rebranding of ADHD
CAUTION – about 25 minutes in there are swears! Definitely grab some headphones or listen away from sensitive ears today. I had a truly bizarre experience last week. I watched my own life play out in a documentary about people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. What you hear today is the birth of my impossible dream: It's time to rebrand ADHD. By the way – I've heard it said that "The difficult is that which takes a little time. The impossible is that which takes a little longer." THAT'S the sense in which I mean impossible above. Today's links… ... I was honored to be in my friend Mark McGuinness's Creative Disruption season of his amazing 21st Century Creative podcast this year! Mark has created a page with the whole season gathered together where you can find all our interviews: https://lateralaction.com/articles/creative-disruption-pandemic/ ...
