Kay and I met years ago when she included a reference to my TEDx talk in her TEDx talk. We were connected via social media and have stayed in touch ever since. But this was the first time we ever spoke face-to-face, albeit via video conference.

In this conversation, Kay helps us understand what she believes are the four core emotions, and a clear system for navigating them.

We also spoke at length about her own Pivots - in her career and personal life. Kay was thrown one devastating curveball after another these past few years, and this episode is really a testament to resilience and creative adaptation.

In particular, pay attention how Kay actively and intentionally learned from each setback, and used those lessons to inform her next move. What may have seemed like failures at the time laid the path for achieving her lifelong dream of becoming an author and a voice for positive change.
