The Kay Manby Podcast

Stillness, Strength and Soulful Living

Welcome to a space where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect.

I’m Kay Manby - a yoga and qigong teacher, meditation guide, and mother living in North Yorkshire. After losing my husband, I turned to stillness as a way to heal.

Now I share the practices that helped me find peace amidst the chaos of life.

This podcast weaves together gentle conversations, reflections, and guided meditations.

Some episodes are quiet journeys inward. Others are soft spoken sharings about life, grief, healing and hope.

Whether you're navigating loss, stress or just craving a moment of peace, these episodes are here to ground you, soothe your nervous system, and remind you of your own quiet strength.

Settle in. You're safe here.

15 - Mimi Kuo-Deemer - Practising Lightness, Lineage and Living Wisdom

Saison 1 · Épisode 15

mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:01:27

Send us Fan Mail

Today, I’m joined by someone whose teachings have deeply shaped my own path — author, teacher and martial artist Mimi Kuo-Deemer. From Beijing rooftops to English meadows, from the Shaolin Temple to Zoom classes during lockdown, Mimi’s journey weaves together Qigong, Taiji, Buddhism and embodied philosophy with grace and authenticity.

We explore what it means to live a life of practice - one rooted in balance, humility, and connection. Mimi opens up about the loss of her mother, the medicine of movement, and the joy of learning from masters like Liu Xuyang, Matthew Cohen, and Martin Aylward. We talk about lineage, grief, creative expression, and what it means to show up with kindness for ourselves and others, even in the hardest seasons.

Mimi’s wisdom is deep, grounded and playful - an invitation to meet life fully.

In this conversation we touch on:

How Qigong and internal martial arts became Mimi’s life’s work
Lineage, destiny and finding the right teachers
What the body remembers — and how we gently change it
The dance between grief and growth
Practising in rhythm with the seasons
Why playfulness is the fastest route to nervous system change
Mimi’s daily rituals and how she balances quiet with service

Mimi refers to:
Martin Aylward, Master Huang Ping, Shifu Liu Xuyang, and Sifu Matthew Cohen.

14 - Gilly Charters - A Quaker Life of Peace, Purpose and Quiet Courage

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

lundi 10 novembre 2025 • Durée 57:56

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, I sit down with the wonderful Gilly Charters - someone deeply rooted in her local community and even more deeply rooted in her Quaker faith. Gilly has been a teacher, a probation officer, a volunteer with mental health charities, a musician, and a proud grandmother. She’s also stood as a Green Party candidate, bringing her values of integrity, peace, and environmental care into the public space.

Together we explore what it really means to live as a Quaker - not just on Sundays, but every day. Gilly shares the story of how she first encountered Quaker silence as a child, what the "inner light" means to her, and how silence, simplicity, and kindness have shaped her life’s path.

We also talk about justice, music, activism, and how her spiritual journey has supported her work with vulnerable communities. This is a conversation about stillness, strength, and how living your values quietly can echo far and wide.

05 - Grief, Growth and Gong Baths - Jules Cooper’s Journey Through Love and Loss

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

vendredi 27 juin 2025 • Durée 37:06

Send us Fan Mail

In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by Jules Cooper - yoga teacher, gong therapist, Akashic Records reader and mother of four. Jules shares her story with openness and grace, beginning with life as a footballer’s wife and unfolding through the unimaginable loss of her son, Finn.

We speak about motherhood, grief, spiritual awakening and the healing power of sound, energy and community. From tearful moments in Shavasana to life-changing retreats and unexpected guidance from spirit, Jules’ path is a testament to strength, surrender and sacred transformation.

This is an episode about holding space when you’ve walked through fire. About rebuilding from the heart outward. And about how sometimes, our deepest pain can become the root of our most powerful purpose.

Send us Fan Mail

The Gift of Kalkan - A Guided Journey into Stillness and Beauty

In this episode, I share a quiet reflection inspired by an unexpected invitation to the coastal town of Kalkan, Turkey - a place that reminded me how healing it is to pause, to breathe, and to simply be.

Through soft storytelling and gentle visualisation, I invite you to walk sun-warmed cobbled streets, breathe in the scents of jasmine and rose oil, and feel the kindness of strangers and the wisdom of slowness.

This isn’t a travel story. It’s a meditation on presence, peace, and the beauty of unexpected stillness. Let this episode be a gentle reset - a return to yourself through scent, sound, colour and calm.

The Rainbow Within - A Chakra Meditation for Balance and Renewal

In this second episode of The Kay Manby Podcast, we explore the beauty and symbolism of the rainbow - as hope, as harmony, as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual.

Through gentle storytelling and guided meditation, you'll be invited to journey through the seven chakras. Each colour and centre brings a message of grounding, creativity, empowerment, love, truth, intuition and connection.

Blending myth, poetry and presence, this meditation is a soft return to balance — a reminder that, like the rainbow, you are whole, vibrant and made of light.

Let this time bring you back to yourself.

In this deeply grounding episode, Kay invites you to journey into the heart of the Lake District — a landscape of still waters, ancient hills, and poetic spirit. Inspired by the words of Dorothy Maclean, John O’Donohue, and Wordsworth, this episode is a gentle exploration of balance, belonging, and the timeless bond between the human heart and the earth itself.

Through vivid imagery and calm narration, The Earth Within – A Journey guides you to reconnect with the natural rhythms that live within your own body — your breath, your heartbeat, your clay. It’s a soulful reminder that we are never separate from the world around us; the earth moves through us as we move through it.

Find your stillness, breathe with the land, and return home to yourself.

Today I’m joined by the radiant Ali Mortimer - global life coach, speaker and guide for women ready to reclaim their joy. Ali’s story weaves together threads of high-flying corporate success, deep personal loss, and the transformative power of choosing love.

We explore burnout, body image, grief, feminine leadership, and the courage it takes to rebuild your life from the ground up. Ali shares her “joy list,” a deeply personal story of rising through challenge, and how the teachings in A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson helped guide her.

We also talk about the incredible Karen Heras-Kelly — a soul-led leadership coach whose presence and work has influenced us both.

11 - Breath, Body and the Beauty of Not Striving with Dan Peppiatt

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

jeudi 25 septembre 2025 • Durée 46:21

What Happens When You Let Go of the Shoulds? A Gentle Conversation with Dan Peppiatt

In this special episode, I’m joined by teacher, thinker and seeker, Dan Peppiatt. We talk about what happens when we stop striving and start listening - not to the noise of the world, but to the quiet, honest voice within.

We explore the winding path that led Dan away from traditional yoga teaching and into a more intuitive, playful relationship with the body and spirit. Along the way, we touch on the meaning of presence, why stillness can feel unsafe, and how we might begin to trust ourselves again.

This is not a conversation full of answers. Instead, it’s an invitation to unlearn, to soften, and to return - gently - to what truly matters.

Let this be a moment to sit with your own truth. Brew a tea, take a breath, and come join us.
