Today on The Joy Curator Podcast I’m delighted to have my dear friend, Gary Kilmer on the show. Originally from a small town in the Midwest, Gary is an author, designer, creative consultant, teacher, speaker, and performer. Throughout his three-decade career in the classroom, onstage, inspiring creativity, and connecting with people from around the world, he has dedicated himself to the art of storytelling, helping others discover beauty in the everyday. Gary’s writing is filled with warmth, humor, and a gentle rhythm that invites reflection. Now based in Las Vegas, he continues to design, create, and inspire through his consulting work and creative life. His book, The Comforting Theory of Time, reflects his belief in kindness, resilience, and the quiet strength of embracing change. He believes we are all works in progress, moving forward, growing stronger, and evolving with each passing moment. He finds inspiration in simple moments, quiet wonder, and the endless possibility of what comes next, holding onto the belief that the next story is just around the corner. Tune in as we chat about the unique way we met and became instant friends and how even in life’s most complicated and difficult times we can all be comforted in knowing that this too shall pass.

THE JOY CURATOR PODCAST

Curating a life of JOY that is authentic, bold and purposeful takes courage and confidence. Welcome to The Joy Curator Podcast.

With over 20 years in the event planning industry, I inspire individuals, companies and organizations to infuse joy into the details by helping them plan purpose filled events. Join me for happy hour as I bring you conversations with entrepreneurs, professionals, tastemakers and extraordinary world changers who have gotten where they are through their authenticity, truth telling and a commitment to showing up. I'm here to show you how to expand your confidence, and your life and business as I navigate it alongside you, even when it's hard. No matter who you are, where you are from or what you do for a living, my hope is that you will feel challenged to look within yourself, feel inspired, exchange your fears for courage and know that you have a choice on how you show up every single day, so let's curate some JOY!

Today on The Joy Curator Podcast we have a special segment. Introducing ‘Let’s Talk About It’ with Joy and Kimberly. Why? Because we love giving advice! In this episode, caller number one has doggo woes, caller number two seeks work/life balance.

Today on The Joy Curator Podcast we are unfiltered and talking about building a life of honest conversations.

Honesty sounds simple, but it’s not always easy. We hold back because we don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings, disappoint a client, or risk being seen as “too much.” Tune in as we chat all about being more honest and how to build that muscle to be able to ask for what you need.

Today on The Joy Curator Podcast we are launching Season 11 of The Joy Curator Podcast and talking about why you shouldn’t host an event. But… spoiler alert: you’re going to want to host one after this. We will talk all about finding your WHY when hosting an event for business or just inviting people into your home. We’re really just looking for ways to bring more JOY into the everyday. So, unless you really want to live in a world without laughter, connection, and good food, maybe hosting an event isn’t for you. But if you’re ready for more joy, more people, and more memories—you know what to do. Send that invite. Host that gathering. Create that moment. Tune in as we kick off the season!

She has also written a humor book (all by herself), called Miss Nackawic Meets Midlife and she has been a humor columnist.
