Practical Intuition with Kay Kay Lock Kolp, M. Ed.

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! THANK YOU for your incredible gifts. You are helping me realize this dream of crossing England on foot!

Nick Jubber brings all sorts of interests – storytelling, nomadism, connections, humanity – into his life and writing.
This is a fantastic conversation that I'm so excited to bring you today, with an accomplished and consummate sharer of ideas. 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 and BBC Radio 4, as well as at numerous festivals. Nick's written plays performed at places like the Edinborough Festival and the Actor's Centre in London.
Today we begin with the provocative drama teacher who set Nick on his way in his early years… and we arrive at ideas that truly leave this podcaster speechless.
That's a pretty tall order and something that hasn't happened often in nearly 400 episodes!
Then heads up - it sounds like the episode's going to wrap up when the interview ends… but that's not the case!
I bring you an ADHD/CECS update and share something I'm excited about: The Asynchronous Idea Party of 2023.
k (at) kaylockkolp (dot) com or kaylockkolp.com/contact to share your idea!
Remember… What you want AND what the obstacle is to what you want.
Let's get this party started –
Happy new year!
Links Worth Clicking (which is how my friend Blake refers to them : )
Find everything Nick does at nickjubber.com, including his new book, The Fairy Tellers. Our conversation centers around fairytales today, and Nick shares that this book is probably why.

Cheers! I am glad we are along for this ride together!!

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 difficult is that which takes a little time. The impossible is that which takes a little longer."
THAT'S the sense in which I mean impossible above.

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!

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 you want to hear the story of someone's rise above illness and the other massive challenges they confronted, you are going to LOVE our conversation.
Then stay tuned! After speaking with Elise I share about how I got well and truly lost on a hike recently.
Do you remember that scene in Maverick, Top Gun 2, where he wanders all disoriented into a diner somewhere in the United States? My son and I wandered into a dollar store miles away from where we left our car (weirdly just the day after we watched that movie). I felt exactly like Maverick, so disoriented.
It turns out that training to walk across the north of England isn't just physical training.
It's mindset as well.
Plus I've got an update for you about the upcoming virtual retreat I am cohosting on "Feeling hopeful in challenging times"!
It's the weekend of October 29th and 30th, invitation coming just after this episode drops!
My cohost and I along with 10 other coaches will put our heart and soul into this retreat. It's going to be awesome and very helpful if you feel in flux due to challenges in your life.
There will be no cost to attend and we appreciate donations of any amount to the amazing nonprofit https://onesolutionglobal.org
If this feels like your jam then make sure to mark your calendar!
