Ignite Your Spark
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.

IGNITE and let go of judgement with Dr. Greg Hammer
Today’s guest is a repeat visitor to Ignite Your Spark. Dr. Greg Hammer was on the podcast last year to talk about his book, The GAIN method, and he’s back to share more wisdom with us.
Dr. Hammer is a Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist and mindfulness expert. Dr. Hammer is also the Chair of the Physician Wellness Task Force for the California Society of Anesthesiologists.
I really love how Dr. Hammer marries the mind and body for optimal healing. As a mindfulness expert and author on the subject, he knows how important the mind body connection is to assist us in living a more joyful and optimally healthy life.
In this conversation we focus on the importance of being non-judgmental. We discuss how prevalent the negativity bias is in our society and how we need to let it go. Through his daily practice, outlined in his book - of Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention and Non-Judgement, we can work to change the neuroplasticity of our brain in order to let go and basically be happier. It is within our power to rewire and reshape the way we think.
Dr. Hammer shares his techniques for letting go of judgement and gives us some great examples from his life on how to do just that.
Shine on and let go of judgement - you will be glad you did!
