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.

Rekindling Connection and Joy Through Handwritten Letters with Tracey Gates
In today's episode, I am thrilled to present the heartwarming and enlightening conversation I had with Tracey Gates. Tracey is a kindness ambassador, life and wellness coach, and the author of "The Power of a Few Kind Words." Her message about the profound impact of simple, sincere gestures will undoubtedly resonate with all of you and help ignite a spark of kindness in your lives. Together, we delved into the joys of writing letters of appreciation, a practice that uplifts not only the recipient but also the writer. Tracey shared touching personal stories, including how writing a letter to her late father brought her a sense of reconnection. We discussed how even a short, heartfelt note can brighten someone's day and the importance of keeping handwritten letters as cherished keepsakes.
Tracey and I also explored the transformative power of words of affirmation and how everyone loves to hear something positive about themselves. We emphasized the beauty of starting slow, perhaps with a letter a week, and how small acts of kindness like paying for someone's coffee can make a big difference. Tracey challenges listeners to try writing a letter a day for a week and experience the joy it brings to both the sender and the recipient. I'm so excited for you to hear Tracey's inspiring insights and how her journey into the kindness arena, inspired by her father, has impacted her life. Don't miss out on Tracey's wisdom and the valuable encouragement she offers to spread kindness. Tune in and let’s ignite your spark together!
Shine on!
