SENSITIVE EARS ALERT: There's a story I share here where I totally drop f-bombs... involving one of my favorite people I met who gave me a great gift! So you might want to listen with headphones or away from folks with sensitive ears when you hear me mention Kevin.  Solo-hiking doesn't mean total solitude all the time - in this episode, I'm sharing about the people who made my trip AMAZING (Well, except for 3 new friends who you'll hear about in Episode 402 : )  Enjoy!

Supporting the inner lives of us grown-ups…
I help people "knock the bricks off their wings and truly fly," as one client beautifully put it...

I'm Kay, an artist, author, and coach. I live in Massachusetts, USA, with my husband, sons, and our 12-1/2-year-old pet chicken. Connect with me at kaylockkolp.com.

PS This show used to be called We Turned Out Okay… You're in the right place! The first 375-ish episodes were created with that name. Much has changed around here, but much has stayed the same. I'm glad you are here!

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!"

413: The most important tool in my inner toolkit

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..  Wishing you well until next time! Love, Kay
