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.

Rediscovering Passion: Ivy Austin's Journey from Broadway Spotlight to Therapeutic Healing
In today's episode I am so thrilled to share the heartwarming and inspiring conversation I had with my dear friend Ivy Austin. Ivy's journey is nothing short of a testament to the resilience and transformative power of stepping outside your comfort zone. A former Broadway performer, Ivy reinvented her life in her late fifties to become a licensed marriage and family therapist. We dive deep into her remarkable story of returning to school, creating a new career, and how she now merges her deep love for the arts into her therapeutic practice. Her unique perspective as a performer and therapist offers a treasure trove of insights, especially for those in the theater industry.
As we rekindle old memories and share laughter, Ivy opens up about her personal spark-igniting activities and her passion for helping others find their own light. From her childhood dreams of Broadway to her current work with young artists at the Manhattan School of Music, Ivy's journey is filled with inspiring lessons on embracing discomfort, saying yes to new opportunities, and finding joy in unexpected places.
Together, we hope to motivate you to step outside your comfort zone, pursue your passions, and achieve personal growth at any stage in life.
