Episode 242: You are Never Too Old to Ignite a New Spark with Kim Selby

This week’s guest interview is with Kim Selby, a woman with a varied background including advertising, public relations, fashion, acting, travel, motivational speaking, and raising a couple of awesome kids and who is constantly reinventing herself.

She started her career in New Your City, working in advertising, PR and as a traveling Merchandising Editor at Glamour magazine. Act 2 took her to San Francisco, because she had “dated everyone in New York,” and that was a good thing because shortly thereafter she met her soulmate, got married, and had two glorious children, filling her time by volunteering as PTA president as well as other activities. 

Kim has a super fun and vibrant personality and is a great example of how to embrace Act 3 of your life. She is currently being fueled by her love of speaking and her “Ignite Your Spark” podcast, And she’s living by her motto and inspiring those of us over 50 that “you are never too old” by getting her first modeling gig at age 64!

In this episode, Kim and I talked about:

• The story behind what prompted her to start a podcast last year at age 64.
• A shocking revelation that she discovered by accident right after her mom died.
• Her love for motivational speaking and how that desire surfaced at a young age.
• The actions she took to give more meaning to her “empty nest” stage of life.

I loved our high energy conversation and how Kim walks her talk. She’s such a great example of how to stay vibrant by leaning into what excites you and pursuing your passions regardless of age.
