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.

IGNITE and Roar Like a Goddess with Acharya Shunya
Why on earth would you want to roar like a Goddess? You would only if you want to be the best and most enlightened and awakened version of yourself - that's why!
My guest today is Acharya Shunya who embodies all the different aspects of the Goddess Shakti. She is the first female head of her 2,000-year-old Indian spiritual lineage, Shunya reinterprets and recontextualizes ancient teachings for modern times, empowering people everywhere to lead fearless, fulfilled and enlightened lives.
Shunya is the author of three bestselling books Ayurveda lifestyle Wisdom (2017), Sovereign Self (2020) and her newest book i Roar Like a Goddess:Every Woman's Guide to Becoming Unapologetically Powerful, Prosperous, and Peaceful. In this book, Acharya Shunya honors her progressive Vedic roots while breaking the shackles of tradition to bring modern-day women, an inclusive, feminist spirituality.
We talk about why Shunya wrote her book, and my favorite quote is "...so that nobody ever forgets to roar with joy". Our beliefs and hope are so similar in that we want everyone to awaken to the spark within. Shunya gives amazing examples in our podcast and answers questions about the Vedas, our Dharma and how anyone can access their inner Goddess.
Shunya stresses how important it is to give priority to your own dharma, to care for yourself so you can care for others, accomplish what you are meant to and live your best life. She stresses that it is never too late to become who you were meant to be.
We also talk about the four parts of Shakti and what they represent. When we embody all of these pieces we will roar like a goddess.

Shine on!
