Kim Talks features a 3 part series to close out her podcast channel. Episode 099: Relationship Talks, part 2 of the 3 part series, Kim brings back one of her closet and longest friends Catherine Meyer. Cath and Kim had previously recorded the most listened to the episode on Kim Talks, "Divorce Love" and it was time for them to come back together to see what a year later we are up to, feeling and thinking about our relationships. Finding out what we (1) want from a relationship (2) don't want from a relationship and (3) our faults in relationships can be a hard, yet, fulfilling journey to go down. This was a fun one to record, heavy at times, and overall a much-needed conversation about relationships.  Talk soon,  Kim

Kim Talks features a 3 part series to close out her podcast channel. Episode 100: Goodbye Kim Talks (Self Talks), part 3 of the 3 part series, we say goodbye to a 4-year journey on Kim's favorite platform, a voice platform, podcast. Kim started this journey to help her find her voice and it took her down a much more in-depth journey that she imagined. There were 3 evolutions during this 4-year span of recording. We talk about the evolution, the lessons, and the ultimate love she could give herself to close out this chapter in her life. A personal note from Kim: Before you head in, thank you. Simply put. I hope this episode or the ones before it showed you how much it meant for you to show up on this podcast. The talks itself and you, the listener have given me life in the best of times and the hardest of times. I look forward to seeing you soon and in this next chapter of my life.  Much love, Kim

After a 'conscious uncoupling' from the podcast for a quarter of the year, Kim is back to talk about her intentions for Kim Talks. Jada, Kim's chocolate lab and Boo Boo, her tabby cat make an appearance on this episode.  Spoiler alert: it isn't them making noises. They have some insight to share with y'all.

It's been a long time. I had every intention of coming back. I needed some time to take my "next right move". I appreciate your patience with me leaving and not sharing why (until now).  In this episode, I share where I have been, where I am now, and where we are going.  Let's talk, Kim  

Kim talks to her great friend Chelsea Rae about a question we both find ourselves asking and now we want to be answered.  "What's the matter with me?".  Short answer, nothing. Long answer, head in the episode where we break down this thought process and why it is so common in many of us to feel this way.  You can find Chelsea over on IG at:  chelsea_cornelius_

Kim talks to Steve Hollander, Realtor/Owner at House & Land Estate about the stress of buying and how to make it a smoother experience. This talk was fun as Steve and Kim met while she was in the catering industry (10 years ago) and to see where they both are today shows a great deal of growth for both of them.   To see more of Steve, reach out to him at: HouseandLandRealEstate.com Steve@HouseandLandRealEstate.com OR on Facebook at Steve Hollander or House & Land Real Estate

Kim talks to Michaela about seeking Him not him.  You will quickly find out the difference being the 'HIM'. It is a powerful message that brings a mirror to our life any proposes the question, "can you see you? really see you?".  Follow Michaela and her journey over on IG: @michaelabelle 

Kim talks about her introspective approach on, 'what is our purpose on social media?'  We run our businesses and personal lives through these apps.  Are you clear on why you are on it? Let's check-in on it. 

Kim talks about her recent full year around the sun of loss 'celebrations'. For Kim, she talks about the anniversaries she honored for her mom and her ex-husband. You may be about to approach your first anniversary of a loss, coming up on your 20th or want to hear how to cope. This episode, Kim talks about her approach to honoring it and noticing the stuck feeling of how to continue to heal. 

Kim talks with her friend, Jaime Karpovich to talk about why we play small, how it has come up in our lives and what starting over for both of us has looked like.  Jamie is known for her TV show, Save the Kales, since then she has made a great impact on LGBTQ community and women empowerment.  

Kim talks about the year she went Soberish* and what is up next for her.   *I say this with most (if not all) of my episodes, please consult with a licensed physician for your medical and health needs.  I share from my experience and I have also consulted with licensed physicians for my needs. 

Kim talks about the common phrase 'misery loves company' and how that is not a great combo with a big life transition. Relatability Loves Company could be a very positive healing experience to attract in your life. 

Kim talks about an exercise that has been serving her and is helping reduce depression without going on medication.  

Kim talks about 4 lessons she learned from 4 big life transitions she went through. 

Kim talks about the tagline she ends every podcast with, 'Much love today, tomorrow and I'll see you guys soon'.  

Kim talks about the importance of who to turn with big life transitions.  It sets the tone of the course of your life's path. 

Kim talks about how she is rising up for herself to meet that suitor one day and how it's benefiting all aspects of her life.  

I wanted to get inside a comedian's mind.  Ever since Robin Williams passing, I have been very intrigued as to why comedians are considered a depressing profession.  How could that be? They are bringing people to the highest emotional scale, Joy.  Yet, they are at the lowest emotional scale most days, grief/despair/depression.  This is very conflicting and I wanted to talk about it more.  I had the opportunity to talk to local Lehigh Valley comedian, Tyler Rothrock on this and I am very grateful for what he shared with us.   To see more from Tyler ... head over to Tyler Rothrock on all social media channels and check out his upcoming show at Steelstacks in Bethlehem, November 2, 2019.  

An open talk about a few things I have been noticing about myself and taking action on to work on. I have gotten a lot of advice in this season of my life.  One of them is, "take this time to better yourself". Noted. Doing it and sharing it in this episode. I can't wait to sit down and talk with you about this episode. 

Michael Blewett and I sat down to talk about Divorce and so much more came up.  The talk behind our 'templates' was a massive takeaway for me on how we are programed very early on to what that is.  Are we willing to challenge that template if it is no longer serving our highest good? Will will talk about that.  Shame, Guilt, Resentment, Sadness are just a few words that come with the territory of making the decision to get divorced (or go through a break up).  I wanted to have this conversation to continue to bring light to a conversation that can be met with love, kindness, and healing ... if we choose to. 

With the seasons changing, I want to talk about this new season in my life and how I am (we all are) a work in progress.  Let's talk about it. 

Have you ever wondered how people can have a certain kind of energy about them? Good, bad and indifferent. My friend, Lauren Demberg and I talk about all things from spirituality to harnessing the energy, and the ways we have navigated that through our lives.  This is a powerful one. Get ready!  Want to see more of Lauren? Give her a follow over on INSTAGRAM at @thelighinlaur

It has been 10 ++ years since I sat down and talked to my childhood best friend, Ali Cavin Hellmuth.  We dive into her life as a Personal Stylist, Mom, and Wife and what 'doing it all' really looks like.       

Dear Kim is a segment where I come to you once of week with a question you asked me and I answer it.  This one hits home and I share how we can find a place of awareness, relatability and hope when we are asking ourselves and others ... when will it get better?  I'll see you there.  MUCH LOVE and I really mean it MUCH LOVE OX Kim

Jaime and I will talk about all things from Body Image, Relationships, and Sexuality.  Jaime, who shares shes is a Queer and myself, who I am straight talk about the dynamics of how it has been for us over 2+ decades of this idea that we have a veil over us when it comes to how we show our face, show up in our relationships, and who we are in our identities.   Talk soon! XO  Kim

Hard conversation can come in many facets.  This one was hard because they never had it before.  We let ourselves believe we can not show up a certain way, but when we break it down it boils down that we haven't had that conversation (1) yet (2) enough times (3) more and more times.  Practice makes 'perfect' and we will talk about that on today's Dear Kim.   I also touch on hard conversations where there is a competing belief, values, etc. You will be better prepared this time around.  See you there! XO Kim

I am checking in with you and seeing where you are at with your Mind, Body and Soul journey.  Don't let the Mind, Body, and Soul phrase de-sensitive you from what we can work on to take it all to a place where we are loving our self-care so much that we want to talk about it like this. Also, there is a challenge in here for you and I to level up. Let's talk! XO  Kim

Have you ever asked yourself, "Am I in the RIGHT RACE?".   On today's episode, my good friend and Spartan teammate, Bryant Edwards and I talk about being in the RIGHT RACE in life.   This is not about doing a Spartan race.  It is all about checking in with ourselves on what race we are running and the challenges that happen along the way.  This is a new 'take' on Kim TALKS.  Bryant is asking the question and I am answering them.  See you in there!  OX Kim

Dear Kim is a weekly segment on my podcast, Kim TALKS where you ask a question and I share my humble advice.  All the questions are anonymous. Dear Kim is designed for you to have a safe space to share and for us to converse about questions that not only you & I need advice from … I know many others do to.  Dear Kim Episode 001 I answer a question that I quite honestly can't believe I am able to answer after all the grief I have experienced. I know to see that experience of sitting in this kind of pain as led to be able to share it with others. With any piece of advice ... take one thing, all of it, or none it. I ask you to be open-minded to be able to heal the best way possible.   ______________ If you would like to ask a question and it can be featured on Kim TALKS, Dear Kim segment.  Please reach out to me directly at kimxkelty@gmail.comPlease title it 'Dear Kim'. *** This advice does not mean you do not seek further help from professionals.  Please reach out to your healthcare professionals if you believe you are in need of more assistance.  Please know you are not alone and that help can be available for you. ***

Anthony Pedersen and I talk about the surface level to the depth of how we feel about social media and what it is doing for us or not ... listen in. We have a lot to say and I believe you will enjoy our opposing sides on it. 

I needed therapy. I don't shy away from sharing that. I also don't believe I should be ashamed of it.  I do know a lot of people don't agree with it. That is cool too.    I have a core belief that we need a third party to help us in this journey of life. It doesn't need to be therapy. It could be a mentor, energy worker, someone with an unbias and educated approach on the topic/healing at hand.  In today's episode, you will hear different ways to go about it and the effects it has on you or can if you have not gone down this route.   I hope this finds you in a place of love, healing, and relief.  OX Kim

Today's talk with my dear friend, Ellis Funchess ... we will give it to you Straight Up No Chaser.  Ellis and I have a candid conversation about sexuality and our identities.  This is a topic him and I have never openly spoken about. It is our time to come out and share what we have to say and see where it goes.  We know we are not the first to talk about this or the last but we wanted to be someone to talk about it.  MUCH LOVE TO YOU ELLIS! You make me braver. I adore you and I can not wait for the world to hear and see more of you!  OX Kim  #kimtalks

oh my! This one gives me the chills!!! LOVE TALKS has served me and so many over the last year it has been around.  It is time for an evolution! I introduce you ... Kim TALKS!!! Kim TALKS: where we can talk about love and loss, happiness and sadness, go-getter and being lazy, beauty and beast, laughter and crying, enough and not enough. All of the above is what I believe life is. I also believe you can have all of them co-exists and live a great life. I got too good at making life black and white. I’m all in on happiness or sadness. No in-between. I’m now learning it can be black and living in color.

Social media when it comes to youth, adults, and businesses is a crucial topic to touch on in our day and age. I go in depth on how I believe we can look at this from tactics and principle way to see how we can boost our self-esteem (bring more awareness) when it comes to social media and our day-to-day.      

You've heard the saying a million times over. But have you really tried it out? You know ... is the grass REALLY greener on the side? I don't believe we take a minute or a few to realize it when we make this decision or even on the flip side ever make this decision because we are afraid to see if the grass or brown on the other side.  The saying, "The grass is always greener where YOU water it" stuck out for me and it is why I wanted to talk about it and see where you are at.  I love how its worded because there is a lot of judgment indirectly or directly of how we make our decisions every day. Let alone if we decide to make BIG, LIFE CHANGING ones. Let's tap into what we can take control of and decide for our best and highest self!  I'll see you there!  ~ Kim

What are men thinking when it comes to the timeline of our life? This episode is all around what my friend, Anthony Pedersen has experienced being on the end of what societal norms shows us what our lives 'should' have panned out to be.   If you ever felt like your life was not going the way it 'should' be going, tune in today and hear what Anthony and I have to say about what the stigma is on how our American Dream 'should' be. 

boy meets girl, the boy asks the girl to marry him, the girl says yes, and they live happily ever after.  When you realize that the person by your side is not the one, what do you do? Maybe you try and stay? Maybe you walk away? Which door would you open? Catherine Meyer is one of my oldest and dearest friends. Now, we added another notch to our relationship belt as we both have something in common.  We both have gone through a divorce and she has become what I like to call her my “Divorce Dalai Lama”.  Some humor to a heavy journey. We talk about her divorce and the journey I have been going through to shed light on a sensitive subject that most people won’t touch and we’re here to talk about it to make more people not feel alone in the decision and if you choose to go down the path of Divorce. Cheryl Strayed said this and it is so powerful to the journey of heartbreak, break-up, divorce, whatever you are going through...  “Go, even though you love him. Go, even though he’s kind and faithful and dear to you. Go, even though he’s your best friend and you’re his. Go, even though you can’t imagine your life without him. Go, even though he adores you and your leaving will devastate him. Go, even though your friends will be disappointed or surprised or pissed off or all three. Go, even though you once said you would stay. Go, even though you’re afraid of being alone. Go, even though you’re sure no one will ever love you as well as he does. Go, even though there is nowhere to go. Go, even though you don’t know exactly why you can’t stay. Go, because you want to. Because wanting to leave is enough.”

How we think as women can be the best and worst thing for us.   I get it as a woman, but I also find it fascinating to break it down.  This helps us as women feel seen, heard, understood and today let's challenge it!  Hey Men! This is for you too.  It will help you get into our thinking and also see it (really) isn't always your fault :)  From dieting* to dating to doing we are constantly thinking of what is right, wrong, and the actual direction.  Today's episode breaks that down.  Let's get into it!  *I reference in the dieting portion an article. Click here to access it!     

Dating in 2019 can be tricky.  From swiping left/right on an app for your match TO figuring out what you enjoy and don't can make it all so tricky and downright not fun.    In this episode, my good friend, Joel Carmona teaches a thing or two on what it's like out there. SPOILER ALERT -- Dating can be FUN!!! Joel's background has him around people ALL.THE.TIME. A personal trainer by day and bartender by night.  He has seen a lot go down in front of his eyes when it comes to dating.     Joel and I had some fun on today's episode.  You will hear us talk about 3 areas of dating that we found important to touch on.  (1) Dating while you are single  (2) Dating within your relationship and the most important of them all ... (3) Dating yourself  I hope you enjoy this episode just as much as I did! 

Becky Jennings is one of those women that you will feel strength and love from.   January of 2019 her whole world turned upside down when she lost her son at 38.5 weeks pregnant.  She shares her journey and how she went from deep sorrow led to deep meaning.  Grief is hard to navigate, so is life in general.  That is why these conversations are so meaningful to me to have to help us all have a piece of each other's journey to help us keep going.  

Our story and the story we tell ourselves to be true ... matters. I was told the story in more or less words, “you’re the pretty, athletic girl”. Then I told myself the story in more or less words, “you’re only that and will never be smart enough to amount to anything more”. How a few words that can be (and is) a compliment turned into a story of words that I gave way too much power to in my youth to adulthood. Step into today’s podcast on LOVE TALKS, on why I believe, very much believe, words matter. We have a way of taking people’s words in, allowing our own self-talk to guide us and ultimately giving it power. This works in a positive and negative effect.  That's why I wanted to break it down on: 1-  how you can be uber aware of this 2 - take these words into your own hands We can’t control what others say to us and about us. But, we can take control of how we take it in and exude it out into the world. Ironically, this episode made me very insecure that my words weren’t flowing. The story of not being smart enough popped up. You’ll hear it in my voice and I own it at times during the episode. We have these words said to us or said by us and we give it power (positive or negative). I’m sharing how I handle it when, not if, when it comes back up and how I use it to my benefit me vs. against myself. #wordsmatter #lovetalks

I started this 3 part series out of intuition.  I knew over the last 365 days a lot has shifted and I wanted it to come out of me what has shifted physically and emotionally.  More has shifted (and will continue to) over the last few weeks I have recorded this 3 part series.  We're all learning something daily. Take this episode and the other 3 as an opportunity to check in on what you have learned recently, what milestone you have reached, and where you want to go.  It's easy for us to forget all we have accomplished. It's easy for us to put ourselves down in the setbacks in life.  This piece by piece hard work is where we start to mold carefully what we believe is the best for our individual life.  No blueprint to this but there is pockets of light that can bring a calmness to you. See you in there.  Thank you for the time, patience and kindness over the last 365 days (and more). 

It seems like everyone has it figured out but you, right? Please know deep deep deep down that is so wrong.  But I see that when you're in the thick of its very hard to see that pocket of light.  Here is that piece of light from a 3 part series of "What I am learning" from what was the darkest, roughest, and most gut-wrenching year of my life. I wish I was being "dramatic" or just saying those words. That would mean I didn't really feel them and experience that but I am intentional with those words but it is my truth. Now, I don't wish this upon anyone but I am proud to be standing and sharing with you today and every day you allow me after that. Much love today and tomorrow. I will see you guys in there for this 3 part series.   

When the teacher becomes the student, it is a powerful experience.  I am uncovering what lessons I have been learning. A little different dialogue than my normal but this is where I am currently and what to share with you. 

Healing is a very tricky subject and I want to simply talk to you about it.  Let's jump in there and see what this process looks like for your.  I take you through a few steps that has served me greatly during a healing season of my life.  1. Check your ego at the door.  2. Judge on paper 3. Time and patience  4. Love yourself fiercely (and what does that look like for you) All of this holds power to you.  It is a scary but yet invigorating thought.  Jump in to start, continue, or fine tune your healing journey.  Much love,  Kim

We all have our way of doing things.  Let's check in if we are doing that for our own path.   Tap into "Find Your Way" with 3 stages of thought provoking steps #1 Your past is your pathway  #2 Your present helps you believe in patterns #3 You pour yourself into all of it for your future  We aren't meant to just die and pay taxes.  We’re meant to live. We’re mean to heal. We’re meant to love. We’re meant to go create something that we feel proud of and it challenges us and makes this path, this journey WORTHWHILE! Much love,  Kim
