Ignite Your Spark

Kim Duff Selby

Get "lit" with conversations that will encourage you to share your light! If you are a woman in mid-life or beyond and  struggling to get motivated, know there is more for you. Join me as I share conversations with inspirational women who are rocking life. My message is that you are never too old.....to pursue a passion, step outside of your comfort zone and find joy at this stage in life.  We all have a spark inside and right now the world needs YOUR light. I invite you to listen to me weekly as I have conversations with spiritual teachers,  coaches, healers, authors, leaders in the metaphysical arena and really cool women who will inspire and motivate you. Occasionally I will share my own tips and tricks for getting "lit". Who is Kim Selby - your host? A motivator, fashionista, yogi, dancer, performer. I am aging gracefully into my 3rd act. I have had careers in fashion at GLAMOUR Magazine and as the Fashion Director of Saks Fifth Avenue in Palo Alto. I have had careers in advertising and public relations as well. I had my own fashion show production company for over 20 years where I worked with moms, volunteers, teens, dads, and children helping them find their inner diva on the runway. The hundreds of shows I produced were fundraisers for schools or organizations and I witnessed how with coaching, the right clothes, hair and makeup, women increased their self esteem exponentially. This led me to a Creativity Coaching certification (Kaizen-Muse), and to creating my own Sparkle Coaching for women.  As an avid volunteer I have worked in my community at schools and various organizations in order to give back. Favorite and most impactful position was producing a fund raiser fashion show featuring previously incarcerated women. I assisted them in enhancing their self esteem as they reintegrated into society. I have a self guided class  coming soon - How to Ignite Your Spark in mid-life and Beyond. I speak on stages virtually and in person on how to Ignite Your inner spark and I share the message that you are never too old.  At the age of 64 I started pursuing my first love of acting and now have a modeling and commercial career as well.  I invite you all to SHINE ON! Please reach out to me with questions or comments and if you love the podcast I hope you will rate, subscribe, comment and share. My goal is to bring more light to our planet.

    "Healing Generational Wounds: Dr. Lottie Valentine on Ancestral Healing, Intuition & Reinvention"

    Send us a text In this transformational episode, I welcome back Dr. Lotte Valentin.—a physician, medium, and author who made her bold journey to medical school after the age of 50. Dr. Lotte shares how her near-death experiences (NDEs) awakened psychic gifts, shifted her beliefs about the spirit world, and led her to study a myriad of healing modalities. The heart of this conversation centers on **ancestral healing** and her own pioneering technique, Kendraya, which combines science, intuition, and somatic awareness.  Both Dr. Lotte and I discuss how intuition guides our decisions and the importance of tuning in to your heart’s wisdom. Dr. Lotte describes her unlikely path to becoming a naturopathic doctor, driven by messages from spirit and a desire to blend modern and ancient healing.   Hear Dr. Lotte's account of leaving her body during a medical emergency, receiving comfort from spirit, and how these events shifted her worldview.   The episode dives deep into how ancestral traumas and patterns are passed down—sometimes even physically—sharing scientific studies on epigenetics and practical examples of emotional and behavioral inheritance.   Learn about Dr. Lotte's new modality, Kendraya, which incorporates cognitive awareness, intuitive ‘clairs’, and somatic mapping to identify and heal inherited patterns.   Explore real-life scenarios, such as repeating family wounds around loss, rejection, and relationship struggles—and how ancestral healing can help break the cycle.   Dr. Lotte explains how Kendraya is used both in private sessions and her upcoming online class, including shamanic meditation journeys and practical tools for self-healing.   She shares info about her upcoming 7-week course on The Shift Network, including a free introductory event, and how healing ancestral wounds can transform not just the individual, but the entire family line—past and future.   The episode closes with a powerful reminder: it’s never too late to reinvent yourself. Dr. Lotte is living proof! **Takeaways:** - You are deeply connected to your ancestors through more than just genetics—emotions, patterns, and beliefs ripple through generations. - Healing ancestral wounds releases blockages for yourself, your children, and future generations. - Intuition is your superpower. Learning to trust it opens doors to healing and transformation. - It’s never too late to follow your true path and ignite your spark! Thanks for tuning in to Ignite Your Spark! If this episode inspired you, share it with a friend and leave a review. Let’s heal, grow, and shine together!** FIND DR. LOTTE HERE ANCESTRAL HEALING on THE SHIFT NETWORK Here Find KIM HERE
