The full interview will be out a little later in the year, but I wanted to share a part of it today in hopes it helps you navigate through challenging times.  Frederick reminds us of an important, not complicated, thing we can do that really REALLY helps....

This episode was originally called "Were you homesick?" and other great questions I was asked.. And I changed it because that's a question I answer in an upcoming episode! I apologize for the confusion :) I continue to be asked such great questions about my solo hike across northern England this past May! I answer quite a few of them here : ) I'm going deeper into the most epic lessons I learned i...

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, e...

I'm SOOOO excited to share about my trip with you! I've been integrating my learning, which was pretty disorienting at first. I finally feel ready to bring you into the challenges and joys and why I did the trip in the first place. This is part one of a FIVE-part series – I say three in this episode but it's expanded out!  AAAAND... they're coming out every two weeks for the series : ) Let's jump...

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 me...

I am excited to bring you this conversation with wonderful coach Elaine Taylor-Klaus! "Our job," Elaine shares, "is to be on our journey."

Today, we're looking at two helpful ways to proceed when we encounter obstacles! Buckle up, it's a wild ride : ) Also! I've got an update about my ADHD/CECS journey, which includes a tool you might find helpful for loved ones with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (or as we like to call it around here, creative energetic curiosity syndrome)… And finally a Coast-to-Coast Path trip update!

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 a...

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...

THANK YOU for your patience… We are a week late with this episode because I've been sick! I'm better now and I'm here with a story about how I built an electric fence around myself for safety. How that fence became a prison that kept ME in. How I have broken myself out. And how (if this is a trap you're caught in as well) you can break yourself out too! Here are today's links…  Michael Singer's bo...

This is a special episode. Somewhere fairly early on my guest, amazing middle-school-teacher-turned-connection-coach Elise Knox, decides she's going to go deep. And she really does! If you want to hear how someone can transcend the roles they were born into, the expectations others had for them and instead make their own choice about who they are and what they love, you're in the right place. If y...

Today's guest, Katherine Leamy, has been a huge inspiration for me while planning my upcoming walk across the north of England! I am thrilled to bring Katherine to you today. Her story may sound familiar, giving of herself as a wife, mom, and nurse… and realizing that she wanted to do something for herself. Realizing that in fact it's better for everybody if she does this, plus she really simply w...

I'm glad you are here! Here's a summary of the steps to creating the life you actually want to live: 1. Pay attention to your self-talk. You get to choose whether you believe it or not. 2. Remember that when people feel good, they do good things. If someone isn't doing a good thing it's because they feel bad. 3. Cultivate feeling good by choosing to… Not the other way around. I.e. it's not "good t...

A few Program Notes: in the segment AFTER my conversation with David, I share about something sad that happened in our family recently: we said goodbye to our beloved pet chicken, Saphira. I wanted to let you know here in case the emotions around the loss of loved ones aren't something you'd like to engage with today.  In that case please enjoy my conversation with David Rue and skip this month's...

"People who feel good do good things. People who feel bad do bad things." When a friend said this to me recently, it made so much sense.  But if you're not feeling good right now – if you're experiencing feelings of anger, or sadness, or guilt, or frustration over all that's going on in the world (maybe even in your world)… I hope this episode helps you find a way forward. Much love, Kay PS Sign u...
