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 Your Spark
IGNITE with the GAIN method and Dr. Greg Hammer
Finally, scientific proof that MEDITATION works. I know it, and hopefully you know it, but in today's episode I speak to Dr. Greg Hammer who cites studies that prove our brains can be rewired. And he knows of what he speaks.
I was honored to hold space for this conversation on Ignite Your Spark with Dr. Hammer. He is a pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, professor at Stanford University Medical Center, and #1 best-selling author. He is a member of the Stanford WellMD initiative and the Wellness Committee for the American Society of Anesthesiologists. He has also gone through his own cancer diagnoses and the death of his son. He is a remarkable man truly making a difference in the health care arena.
His book, GAIN Without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals focuses on the four pillars of gratitude, awareness, intention, and non judgment to promote well-being.. The book is not just for health care professionals, but anyone who has been suffering from burnout….hmmm….anyone?
We discuss how important it is to live in the present, and how we, as humans tend to have a negativity bias that we need to shift and instead embrace a positivity bias. Wait until you hear the studies that prove that we can rewire our brain. You too will be starting a meditation practice if you don’t have one already.
I also want to share some exciting news with you all. I am now offering Ignite Your Spark coaching. A three month program to assist you in living a happier, more joyful life. We will work together each week for 3 months to help you get unstuck, release limiting belief patterns, open your mind and consciousness to the endless possibilities that are waiting for you.
Please email me for more info, as the details are not yet up on the website, and that may take a minute to get done. It’s ok to be perfectly imperfect right?
