This week I am joined by a woman I have known for almost a decade and who I consider one of the wisest people in my world. Kay Manby has lived more chapters than most of us will in a lifetime. A young marriage that did not survive. Eight years raising three children alone. A second marriage to the love of her life. And then watching that love, Jim, go through cancer.

What Kay has built from that loss is extraordinary. She trained as a yoga teacher in her sixties, taught women in probation, qigong, became a celebrant who has sat beside the dying and written the words spoken at their funerals. She talks in this episode about fear as a driver rather than an enemy, about grief taking the ground out from under you, and about a stranger in a taxi who once told her every new day is a blank piece of paper.

We talk about her five one Manifestor profile and what it means to work in bursts rather than constantly. About amateur dramatics at nearly seventy and the buzz of doing the thing that terrifies you. And about her simple, powerful message for anyone listening. Notice beauty everywhere. Love generously. Live gently. Laugh often.

This is a conversation to come back to again and again.
