About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Kay Matthews is the Founder and Executive Director of the Shades of Blue Project and a respected leader dedicated to supporting the health, wellness, and emotional wellbeing of mothers, families, and community leaders. Through her work, Kay creates spaces where healing, rest, and personal renewal are recognized as essential parts of leadership and sustainable impact.
Her journey into this work began after the stillbirth of her daughter and her own experience navigating postpartum depression. That deeply personal experience transformed into a life’s mission to ensure that mothers and caregivers have access to compassionate support, culturally responsive care, and communities that prioritize mental and emotional wellness.
Kay’s approach blends lived experience, wellness-centered leadership, and community care. She believes that those who pour into others must also have intentional spaces to rest, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. Through retreats, training programs, and community initiatives, she helps leaders restore their energy, strengthen their purpose, and build healthier communities.
Participants who learn with Kay experience more than education—they enter a supportive environment that encourages reflection, healing, and renewed clarity. Her work invites individuals to embrace rest, prioritize wellbeing, and lead with compassion while creating meaningful change in their lives and the lives of others.
