The Kay Manby Podcast - Guided Meditations and Gentle Conversations
The Kay Manby Podcast
Stillness, Strength and Soulful Living
Welcome to a space where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect.
I’m Kay Manby - a yoga and qigong teacher, meditation guide, and mother living in North Yorkshire. After losing my husband, I turned to stillness as a way to heal.
Now I share the practices that helped me find peace amidst the chaos of life.
This podcast weaves together gentle conversations, reflections, and guided meditations.
Some episodes are quiet journeys inward. Others are soft spoken sharings about life, grief, healing and hope.
Whether you're navigating loss, stress or just craving a moment of peace, these episodes are here to ground you, soothe your nervous system, and remind you of your own quiet strength.
Settle in. You're safe here.

21 - When Loss and Love Exist Together: A Conversation with Karen Heras Kelly
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this deeply honest and moving conversation, I’m joined by the remarkable Karen Heras Kelly, a woman whose life and work are rooted in truth, resilience, and the courage to face what many of us would rather avoid.
Our connection goes back to 2018, to a retreat that didn’t unfold as planned. What happened instead became a defining moment in Karen’s life. A journey marked by loss, fear, and ultimately, transformation.
Karen shares the story of discovering she was carrying twins, losing one baby while fighting to protect the other, and the profound inner strength that emerged in that moment. What unfolds is a powerful exploration of how grief and love can coexist, and how life’s most challenging experiences can open us to something deeper.
She also runs community-based group programmes and co-hosts the podcast “Say It Sister”, a bold and honest space that challenges the narratives, taboos, and expectations that keep women small.
