Many adults move through life with internal battles no one else sees, and this episode shows how those patterns form and why they feel so heavy.

In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, Ky talks with Jonathan Kemp, an entrepreneur and mental health advocate who shares how bipolar two, dyslexia, and addiction shaped his life long before he had names for any of it.

Jonathan explains how SmartWisdom started during his postgraduate studies and why a late dyslexia diagnosis brought years of struggle into focus.

He recalls a moment during testing when “I started crying. So a 49 year old man who's being tested for dyslexia,” and how that memory pushed him toward new support.

This episode encourages listeners to learn from personal patterns and reach for help when needed.

You’ve heard of eye movement therapy — but have you ever heard of Cognomovement? This conversation might change how you think about mind-body connection.

In this episode, I sit down with Bill McKenna, the creator of Cognomovement, a technique that claims to help with emotional processing, trauma, and stuck patterns, all using targeted movement, sensory input, and awareness. I’m not here to tell you what to believe. I’m here to ask questions. Because if there’s a method people are talking about, I want to understand what it is, where it comes from, and how it works.

Bill explains how the technique works, what a session looks like, and why some people say it’s helped them in ways traditional approaches haven’t. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or both, this episode keeps it honest and real, no fluff.
