Art Creativity & Wellbeing

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!"

Lots of love and gratitude to you from me :)

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..

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

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
