Art Creativity & Wellbeing

Hail and well met! It's time for another great conversation with friend and colleague, coach Andrew Moss regarding the tools that we developed together as I was training to solo hike across northern England in 2023.Today you’ll hear about a tool we call The Midline, how it’s shaped each of our lives and how it’s evolved to be even more helpful in the years since it first entered our coaching work.Hope you enjoy!About the Series…It's really a podcast within a podcast!In these "Waking Up: The Tools” conversations Andrew and I discuss the essential tools we developed that helped me transform my experience and grow into the person who hiked all by myself across northern England in 2023… After needing a wheelchair to go more than a few steps in 2011.We've called this series Waking up: The Tools because they’re featured in my book, Waking Up: How I Grew to Love My Body and My Self While Solo-Hiking Across Northern England (available everywhere you get your audiobooks and Amazon in paperback and e-book format.)Cheers!

Hello friends! Settle in for a story! I'm taking you into an exciting development in my life as an artist: my first five-figure art commission.Listen for the story.. here in these show notes I'll give you: The brief answers to the questions I've been asked about thisThe five-step plan through which I brought it about.Before we jump in: Consider subscribing to this newsletter so that it shows up in your inbox, instead of you having to go search for it :)Questions I’ve Been AskedOkay! Here are the answers to the questions:1. Was this a scam? – No :) Instead of a scam the creation of this yuge art commission was an example of trust and commitment.2. How did you do this? How did you bring it about – did you advertise? Was it word-of-mouth? – The majority of today's episode is the story of how it happened. So I'll allow you to listen and enjoy that!It can be summed up in the following five points, so read on for the quickie version:How I Brought This About1. I cultivated creative enjoyment every day. For at least an hour at first, and then early this year I upped that to two hours per day of creative enjoyment.2. I asked. I mean this in a cosmic sense. I was open to the possibilities without understanding exactly how everything would happen, just knowing that something fun would happen. It always does!3. I gave and received trust "for no reason." I did this because generosity, enjoyment and trust are my defaults. They also happen to be wonderful in a professional, creative sense because people enjoy doing business with people they trust.4. I brought Kindhearted Purposeful Leadership – and commitment – to the process of envisioning and negotiating this commission. Click here to see the LinkedIn profile of my dear colleague and leadership partner in crime, Dr. Patricia Burlaud.5. Same as the first… I cultivated the daily practice of enjoyment. And that's your challenge. See below!Your Creative Challenge.. cultivate at least one hour each day this week of creative enjoyment.This is enjoyment where you're in solitude and you are not consuming but creating. Can be writing or art; can be cooking or dancing; can be walking or hiking or taking a bath or lying in a favorite spot looking out at the sky.Be bold and give yourself this gift! Remember… If I can do it, literally anyone can do it. :)Thank you for being here! Listening in today, and in the cosmic sense. I'm glad we are journeying together.Love,KayArt Creativity & Wellbeing is a reader-supported publication.

Back when I did not have a clear understanding of the values that I held most dear, it's no coincidence that I didn't feel like a creator.It turns out: one of my most deeply held values is Freedom. I was not giving myself permission to feel like a creator.How do your most deeply held values align with your self, and your view of yourself as a creator?Today I'm taking you into an exercise that's helpful in those times when you feel like you could use a compass to stay centered amidst the disruption. Best of all – you provide the compass! It's in you.In the today's newsletter I share an exercise in two parts/2 questions:1. What are your (3 to 5) most deeply held values? What's most important to you, when are you at your most joyful? If it's challenging articulating your values… They'll show up in your responses to those two questions.2. How does what you create align with your values?I'd love to hear!

Hello dear friends! I'm excited to share my conversation with a beloved coaching colleague, Heather Egginton. Heather joins us to discuss how it feels to be a millionaire! Recently, Heather's net worth topped $1 million. We discuss how that intersects with her feelings of worth inside herself.It's a fascinating conversation and Heather brings curiosity herself, inviting me to share about how I came to be writing a book about how it feels to be a millionaire. So for part of our conversation interviewer becomes interviewee!This conversation will show up in your inbox (if you're subscribed to this publication) or listen in your favorite podcast app!We'll return to the last few editions of season two's newsletter, about staying creative in disruptive times, next week.Happy Tuesday!About This SeriesThis is a podcast series within Art Creativity & Wellbeing and one that I'm excited to share. It's also research for my forthcoming book, How It Feels to be a Millionaire. I've become curious, as I've grown in this way myself, to understand how “worth” and “net worth”intersect for people living in our modern world.Sometimes millionaires do not feel like a million bucks.. Sometimes non-millionaires do. So, what are the commonalities and challenges? What is there to be learned here about myself, my fellow humans and our world? I'm excited to discover - and share - the answers and I know one thing, conversations like today's are an important part of how we get there.

To celebrate I am reading from my memoir, Waking Up, throughout May in a series of Instagram lives which you can access here.We've called this series Waking up: The Tools because they’re featured in my book, Waking Up: How I Grew to Love My Body and My Self While Solo-Hiking Across Northern England (available everywhere you get your audiobooks and Amazon in paperback and e-book format.)Each Waking Up Tools Conversation is hosted by Pathfinders, the amazing platform that exists to amplify good people doing good work in the world.

I'm so inspired each and every time I read this..”Dr. Miller’s commitment to communication empowerment spans 25 plus years and has improved the lives of countless patients, as well as the over 300 novice speech-language pathologists she has trained. The daughter of first-generation educators, the value of education was instilled in her as a young person and continues to fuel her drive within her profession. It was within her household that she learned the significance of effective communication and how it could dictate the course of a person’s life and livelihood.”Katrina shares with us what it's like to found an entire school within a university, how it all came about, and where this journey began for her. It goes deep and gets back to who Katrina is as a person and the importance she sees in fostering human communication.
