The Kerby Method Podcast

Join me for a sweet and lively discussion with author and self proclaimed woman with moxie, Lori Brooks. 

Lori is an accomplished/published writer and photographer, and was not a hiker prior to the journey she outlines in her book. Lori published her first memoir in February 2020. Her memoir covers a landmark and poignant slice of time in her life. On the edge of her 59th birthday Lori experienced an awakening on a solo hike in Death Valley National Park, which led to a divinely gifted idea of hiking her way to her 60th birthday, with no other agenda than to transform her health. It became known as the Sixty60 Journey, 60 hikes to 60 years. What actually transpired in that year and beyond is what she calls her "Unintended Positive Consequences of Hiking" also the title of her memoir.

Lori shares many aspects of her story with me, from comical to grief laden experiences, in our talk together. She offers practical advice for anyone looking to transform their health or try something new and adventurous. 

Enjoy this episode and hopefully we will see you on the trail!

I had the great pleasure to speak with Tammy Roth: PhD, Soul Coach, sober woman, and counselor of empaths. She is a wonderful guest and gives hope and strength to anyone who is highly sensitive or empathetic and worries that this may be a negative attribute.

Tammy Roth is an intuitive and creative empath who spent most of her life numbing out her gifts with alcohol, over achieving, food, and any other distractions she could find. She is now on a mission to guide women in recovery to learn to embrace their gifts of sensitivity and empathic abilities. Her focus is to help women drop beneath the personality and ego to the soul level to nurture their innate gifts. Tammy's background includes 20 years as a holistic psychotherapist and now works solely as an intuitive soul coach. She offers women's retreats and groups both online and in person on The Forgotten Coast of Florida.

She explains the difference between empathy and being an empath, enlightens us to the scale of highly sensitive people, and offers strength and wisdom to moving on this path.

Tammy shares her own journey with recovery and her multifaceted talents and professional career. She now focuses on working with the soul and leading humans to a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.

Tammy explains her work with family constellations, and yes, this work is as profound and fascinating as it sounds.

I know you will enjoy her episode and leave feeling much as I did: awakened again to the own gentle nature of my soul’s calling.

Please join me for this enigmatic interview with the lovely Jocellyn Harvey, published author and Certified Success Coach for women.

Three things I will say about Jocellyn right off the bat: she is incredibly grounded and authentic, and has a stunning smile that truly lights up the screen.

In our time together we discuss Jocellyn’s book, Recovering the Home and why she was inspired to write a book that focused on ways to exist and feel good in our home environment while in recovery. She shares about her writing technique and takes us through a four step process in how to re-create your environment.

We also touch on what it was like to leave twelve step recovery and both share insights into this aspect of our journeys.

Joceylln offers an astute understanding in taking a softer approach to live, setting realistic goals and celebrating them, and explains why she left Instagram. She also shares a practical strategy for creating I Am statements that resonate and are true for us.

I have no doubt you will enjoy my conversation with Jocellyn, and enjoy the many insights and pearls of wisdom she offers in her truly authentic voice.

Settle in for this fantastic episode with Wendie Taylor. I loved her approach of incorporating intuitive eating and the idea of adding more instead of restricting. 

Wendie Taylor, MBA, RDN is registered dietitian and food/body image coach. She is working to redefine the stereotypical ideal of a “dietitian”.  She works with women to find freedom from "diet brain" and helps navigate them in their journey to Unlearn everything about dieting and uncover their inner intuitive eater!   She loves helping women that feel trapped by dieting and the scale.  Her mission is to help them to improve their relationship with their body and food so they live and be the women they were created to be.

Wendie has a holistic and well rounded approach to physical and mental health and how food factors in to our lives and mindsets. We talked about her food personality quiz and I highly recommend you take it!

Turns out I am a "no shame eater", which works well for me because in all honesty, I thought about a donut for much of this episode. 

If you struggle with food, have ever struggled with food, or just want food to be easy -- please listen to this episode. Wendie's approach makes a good deal of sense and feels incredibly ease-ful.

I had a wonderful time getting to know Jen Butler, founder and CEO of JB partners and the SMaRT club and methodology.

Join me for a highly informative and engaging episode with Sally Imeson. We discuss her multifaceted approach to wellness, why I think making gelatin is difficult, and how truly nurturing your body goes far deeper than counting calories or macros. 

Sally was inspired by natural medicine from a young age, and has a twenty year history of studying  Beauty Therapy, Nutrition and Stress Management, and Sports Management. When she became a new wife and mother she quickly learned that emotional wellness is far more important then ‘calories, nutrients or portion sizes’. 

Living in an environment with domestic violence and raising two children on her own showed Sally deep trauma and led her direction with trauma care investigation. She now teaches and advocates that caring for the nervous system and setting up your lifestyle to positively support the nervous system is the most nurturing nutrition philosophy to follow.

I learned a great deal from Sally in our time together and I have no doubt you will also! Enjoy the episode.

Please join me for this vibrant episode with the amazing Karen O’Conner, founder of the Menopause, Marriage, and Motherhood podcast. Karen is dynamic woman who sought answers from her own experience through menopause, and then went on to further share what she found out with the world. 

After raising four children, Karen found herself smack bang in the middle of menopause and with zero idea of what to do with her life. Depressed, lonely and majorly hormonal, she was shamefully convinced that she was the only person who felt this way, as every other woman she knew seemed to have their act together. But as she began to talk to people, she realized that most women going through midlife experience a similar sort of thing. She also realized that even though menopause is something that 50% of the population will experience, it's neither understood not discussed enough. 

Karen started her podcast, blog, and Facebook group to bring this topic into the forefront of the conversation with grace, humor, and a style all her own. 

We have a great chat and clarify what menopause actually is, signs we can watch for as we go through perimenopause, and how we can maintain steady and sure footing as we go through these biological changes. 

If you are a man and think this episode isn’t for you—think again! If you have any women in your life who you care about, learning and understanding what they go through throughout the lifetime of their hormonal cycles will surely make life for pleasant for both of you! 

Enjoy this episode of real talk, plenty of giggles, and leave with a better understanding of your own biology.

Please enjoy this timely discussion I have with Beth Erlander, grief expert and grief friend.

Beth is a Creative Grief Support Practitioner and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. She has a private practice focusing in grief, loss and trauma reconciliation. Beth is a Transpersonal Art Therapist and Certified EMDR Therapist too. Her main passion is using a creative somatic approach to helping others navigate grief. Her own apprenticeship to grief gave me the inside experience to be with others as they come to grips with grief too.

Beth talks about the importance of befriending your grief, rather than fighting through it or relying on a linear timeline to heal. She is full of wisdom and grace, and this is a wonderful episode for us all, with acknowledging all of the small and large grieving we are doing collectively as a planet through the time of COVID.
