Kelly and David discuss the value of a grudge.  Not surprisingly, they find very little in support.  David continues his quest to be transparent and reveals a situation where he kept a 20+ year grudge and how it drove a decision where to spend a quarter of a million dollars.  While it may have felt good in the moment of enforcing a vendetta, at the end of it all, as with most grudges, it was a hollow victory.     --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

Kelly and David dig into the ego and how humility drives the evolution of maturity.  David shares the reason why he didn't announce his retirement on a larger scale.  Kelly points out not only who but perhaps the reasons why those who found out by the grapevine, found out.  When your good work is done, will you humbly merge into the next stage, or will you seek the attention to validate?  If so, did you ever question the need for external validation?  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

Kelly and David discuss the importance of deep friendships.  Kelly explains what it's like to meet David's best friends and how it made her feel.  They each discuss how this friendship is unlike any other and how blessed they feel to have them in their lives.  David makes it a point to let Kelly know that not just anyone is allowed to meet Thomas and Donna, that you have to be worthy, but once you do meet them, it's a sign that you are truly "in".   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

Kelly and David remind everyone that community is important and connections are golden.  They recount an event where they were both surprised at the outcome of broadcasting live on facebook.  They also share a sub-story that occurred just before going live that bonded them deeper with one of David's more complex patients.  Somehow Charley Sheen is invoked and his infamous catchphrase is resurrected.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

Kelly and David openly discuss how fatigue catches up to us in the most unusual ways.  David shares a recent incident where he fell asleep and was typing in his sleep.  Kelly shares a story about her uncanny ability to pray in her sleep after screaming herself awake.  The over-arching messages in today's episode are knowing what your limits are and not allowing others to influence you to over-work yourself.  Be impeccable with your words and stay true to your messages.   And, oh, yeah, if you accidentally fall asleep during sex, do yourself and your partner a favor and don't sleeptalk.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

David and Kelly discuss the fact that after assisting over 1,000 patients in passing into the next realm, it never got easier.  The duo recount David's last hospice patient as a practicing Gerontologist in the long term care field and marvel at not only the relationship that this couple had together, but the upside of dementia when it comes to grief.  David's homework is pretty harsh but Kelly softens it with her addendum, putting into practice the beauty of complimentary personalities in a relationship.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

"Work" is such an ugly word.  Strike that, the feeling around the word "work" is often negative.  So, as a veteran kite-flyer, David took the opportunity to flip the script and took Kelly on a lovely journey to the wine country... and, completed a task in the process.  Not making the task the focus is how we upgrade a situation and apply our signature method of being self-ish. Not surprisingly, the twosome made great friends along the way and of course, did what everyone should do while in the wine country. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

David and Kelly get interesting news today and it doesn't make any logical sense.  Being so far removed from something does not allow you the ability to see ground zero clearly.  After the news sunk in and was digested, a chance interaction with a friendly cow punctuated the day with a very valuable leadership lesson.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

When was the last time you were hugged?  We bet it wasn't by horses.  David and the cat lady (Kelly) explore the world of bonding with nature at the next level.  The duo scale a locked gate of the location of their next big project and while David makes unlikely promises, prior to entering, they all magically come to fruition.... and then some, leaving Kelly in awe and a believer. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

How many remarkable memories did you create this weekend?  Were they solid or were they transient?  Did you meet a wolf?  Did you perform music impromptu and broadcast it live in the moment?  Were you the catalyst for dozens of patrons unexpectedly dancing in an upscale restaurant?  No?  Well, that's weird.  No, no, it's not weird; sadly, it's likely.  Push those earbuds in as far as they will go and listen hard to David and Kelly's "wild" adventures.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

Kelly and David dive into the depths around what it takes to be a true healer of those with mental health issues.  Many believe in talk therapy.  Many believe in pharm therapy.  Many believe in letting it run its course.  All of that has proven to be a b******t copout.  It takes truly listening to the afflicted and then getting off your ass and taking action.  Perk your ears up and hear how pretzels, Pepsi and some high-octane outside of the box thinking helped move the needle forward on a measurable level to heal a special person.    --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

Uh oh, they are back to being serious for a minute.  On this day dedicated to humility, Kelly recounts a sobering conversation with a new friend who is dealing with a husband with dementia yet still drives.  This is not an isolated case nor is it being handled properly worldwide.  David, having been almost killed by a driver with dementia has a very staunch and unrelenting viewpoint on the matter and gives the audience a call to action with a personal touch in the homework.  Be sure to listen and start saving lives.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support
