{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Skyborne","slug":"skyborne","podcastDescription":"We all have something that holds us down or holds us back. It may be our history, our physicality, our addiction, or our circumstance. We carry some pain we are trying to understand, work through, let go of, or deny. Pain, like talent, comes down to what we do with it. How our pain molds or motivates us is what defines its impact on our life. Will we wallow or rise? The “Skyborne” podcast is rooted in resilience. Listen as I share, with brutal honesty, the journey of my life and the lessons I have learned. \n\nThis is a serialized narrative; I encourage you to listen in sequence. The story of my life comes with a trigger warning. Episodes covering particularly difficult topics such as sexual abuse, rape, suicide ideation, will be marked as “Explicit”. Episodes will be dropped every 3 weeks. \n\nMy father was a commissioned officer in the Navy and my mother a nurse. I am the youngest of their 3 children. I will share my journey through complex family dynamics, the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse we all endured, and how I did the work to develop the tools to find my authentic self and my voice. \n\nIf my story is helping you, please, buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kglockrams\n\nI’ve also launched my website at www.kglockrams.com - stop by!","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/14153582/Skyborne_tile_UNDER1M_1400_BEFUNKY_x5u6mf.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/14153582/Skyborne_tile_UNDER1M_1400_BEFUNKY_x5u6mf_1200x628.jpg?s=cefd35a6ac56ca0b982ceaff63b5d21b&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://skyborne.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/skyborne/feed.xml","theme":"podisc","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-hdgqf-d7f76e","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":18,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"K.

Surviving to thriving

I was born into a middle class family. My father and mother were high school sweethearts. He joined the Navy and she became a nurse. By the time I came along, there was not much love left between them.

My podcast explores real issues from a first person narrative for the purpose of shedding light on things too often kept in the shadows.

I served as the first openly gay elected official in my county. I slid into a ten-year medical hell which included barely being able to walk for a year, surviving 5 strokes, and enduring over 30 surgeries from orthopedic to open heart. I’ve died twice – not that I remember.

I’ve invested over 30 years in therapy and workshops to process my pain in order to build a positive life. Somehow, in a life of pain, loneliness, abuse, and disappointment I found enough buoys in the water to keep me navigating the waters of my life toward a better shore.

In short, I’ve survived a tremendous amount of damage and I want to share what I’ve learned in the hopes of being a buoy in the waters of your life.

This is a one man production.

Kiss Today Goodbye continues where Changes leaves off. As my mother and I begin our life together without my father, we discover new facets of each other and I continue to struggle with my sexual identity.

I have to print a correction. I refer to Bobby's girlfriend in this episode as Diane, but I meant Claire.
