Hi! I’m Kate.

I’ve lived many lives and worn many hats - entrepreneur, digital marketer, business strategist, and now, educator, speaker & life coach.

More importantly, I am a child of God.

I am a multi-passionate with many identities - a sister, a daughter, a friend, a skater, a climber, a guide, a teacher. I believe we were made to be fully human (everything is included), with an identity rooted in Christ.

LIFE IS GOOD BECAUSE OF THESE NON-NEGOTIABLES

God. Damn good coffee. Freedom. Integrity. Family. Rockclimbing. Doing good work. Forest bathing. Courage. Surfskating. Love. Purpose. Connection. Discovering the best food spots. Making things beautiful.

Life is an adventure, and I wake up each day ready to embrace magic and beauty. I have good days and bad, but life is always so damn good, filled with new adventure and wisdom. I desire the same for you.

This story matters because it has shaped my work and who I am today.

This is a story about how I rediscovered myself and uncovered a deep hunger to change the world with love.

In 2020, as the world fell into a global pandemic, I fell into my dark night of the soul - one of the most defining periods filled with the deepest grief and despair. I was forced into a cocoon for 3 years, where my old being was completely disintegrated, and I metamorphosized into a new person.

I first met my ex-husband, J, when I was 6. We reconnected at a class gathering in 2012. It was a whirlwind coupled with a dark storm when we met again as adults. My desperate need for love and to be loved threw me into a dysfunctional relationship with him. I couldn’t spend a single day without him, and I ignored all the red flags. He had a serious addiction and deep self-hatred. Despite good moments, our relationship was fraught with lies, emotional abuse, gaslighting, theft, and more.

In January 2020, 4 years after we were married, J left the country and disappeared from the face of the earth.

My world came to a halt and shut down. I was forced into lockdown by the pandemic and had to face a deep emptiness. I had completely lost touch with who I was. I was riddled with self-doubt, and could barely trust my own thoughts and words. I had no sense of self. I had built my worth on my relationship with J and his family. I was known as “J’s Kate” or “J’s wife” for almost 11 years. Confused and fearful, I carried a deep sense of shame and guilt, unable to turn to family or friends. My days were filled with tears of anguish and pain.

In the midst of that, I turned to the only thing I could trust - God. Without Him, I would have truly given up on my life.

I had no other choice but to rebuild my life in solitude. I learned to prioritize and care for myself - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

On this journey of healing, rediscovery, and rebuilding, I chanced upon the co-active coaching model, and its key concept that people are whole, creative, and resourceful deeply resonated with me, as I believe that is how God made and sees each of us.

I signed up for the training and was hooked from day one. My own personal healing was elevated and deepened. I learned to love myself, trust my own voice, respect my values, and recover all that I had lost over the last 11 years.

In January 2022, just as the world began to open up, and just as I started to gain confidence in myself - J came back with another woman and a baby.

For the first time in our relationship, I drew an extremely clear boundary for myself. I gave him my terms to make our marriage work.

He said no.

I decided to choose myself and what was best for me. I could no longer save someone else at my own expense. I could no longer give away parts of me to hold space for someone else.

I filed for divorce.

I discovered a deep desire to share my healing with others who felt the same way I had - unseen, unheard, unloved.

I want to shower others with hope and love and support them on their journey of discovering, accepting, and loving themselves.

This was a story about how I recovered myself and learned to love, accept and embrace ME. It is a story about how I claimed control over my life’s story, and how I chose the next chapter in my book.

I present myself to you - whole, creative, and resourceful, filled with immense joy, gratitude, and peace. Scars healed, yet showing - all parts of my past, present, and future self - included.

The fact that I living, standing, heart beating, and hopeful - is a testimony of His goodness and grace.

What’s your story?

Are we vibing?

I believe that self-growth and coaching should be authentic, magical, and exciting. If you’re in need of change and expansion in your life, I’m here and ready to soar with you.
