| S6-E43: Finding Peace of Mind ft. Jonathan Kemp on The Vibe With Ky Podcast | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:56:28 | |
Many adults move through life with internal battles no one else sees, and this episode shows how those patterns form and why they feel so heavy. In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, Ky talks with Jonathan Kemp, an entrepreneur and mental health advocate who shares how bipolar two, dyslexia, and addiction shaped his life long before he had names for any of it. Jonathan explains how SmartWisdom started during his postgraduate studies and why a late dyslexia diagnosis brought years of struggle into focus. He recalls a moment during testing when “I started crying. So a 49 year old man who's being tested for dyslexia,” and how that memory pushed him toward new support. Listeners hear how stress cycles led to frequent crashes during COVID and how an emergency action list helped him move forward. Jonathan also breaks down the structure of his memoir and the tools he built to support sleep, mood, and daily focus. This episode encourages listeners to learn from personal patterns and reach for help when needed. Jonathan’s book is available at https://www.jonathankemp.com/shop. | |||

What if the reason you feel burned out and disconnected as a leader isn’t because you’re doing it wrong, but because you’re leading from fear, not purpose?

We dive deep into the mental and emotional side of leadership, especially for high achievers who look successful on the outside but feel misaligned on the inside. Lindsay shares her journey from advertising VP before 30 to helping people lead with clarity, connection, and values. We talk about burnout, self-worth, the pressure to perform, and the courage it takes to slow down and ask, “Is this still working for me?” Whether you’re managing a team or just trying to manage your own life, this conversation will give you the permission and perspective to lead yourself differently. Ready to stop performing leadership and actually feel like a leader? Hit play.
