About Me
I am is a humble and creative girl who finds the simple things in life enchanting. Finally taking the brave and life-changing step of becoming a Certified Life Coach kicked off a healing and transformative odyssey into all things related to SELF: self-improvement, self-love, self-healing, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-concept, and self-worth!
It is my ever-growing passion to help people uncover the dreams, creativity, and confidence that lay hidden beneath years of self-sabotage, neglect, doubt, and relentless fears of not being good enough.
In my personal quest to re-ignite the fire of creativity and belief in myself, I discovered many simple and effective tools bringing me face to face with my real self. The self I lost touch with years ago. Somewhere along the way, I mistakenly traded in my authentic voice to people-please, so I would fit in and be liked. The problem was I stopped being me, and as a result, I stopped liking who I had become. The voice of my inner critic reached deafening levels before I realized how lost, dull, and depressed I had become. I knew there was something more. There had to be!
I was quite familiar with how our thoughts create our realities, but on closer inspection, I began to see how I let unconscious beliefs dictate who I was, who I could be, and what my life would look like. No more! It was time to awaken.
I became determined to figure out who I was, what I wanted, and why. My intuition told me I needed to love myself first and foremost before I could experience the change I wanted to see. So, I made falling in love with myself my top priority, and it worked! What a kick it has been! I now believe deeply in my amazing uniqueness, and I absolutely love sharing my love and light with the world.
Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
Compassion

About
Your Meaningful Mid Life
Mid-Life is a period I did not especially look forward to however, having arrived, I find this period to be filled with rich and incredible opportunities. According Google, Mid-Life is defined as “the central period of a person’s life, spanning from approximately age 40 to age 65. It can be a stressful time, as many people come to feel discontented and restless as they struggle with aging, mortality, and holding onto a sense of purpose.” Note: while Google specified an age range, this author believes the “discontent” and “restlessness” can be found throughout life, beginning long before our 30s and extending well beyond our 80s.
I’ve never really been textbook, but I found myself smack in the middle of it, discontent, restless, and all. I have been an avid student of self-improvement my entire life (think teenage years), but it took me until my 50s to stitch it all together into something meaningful, something that would set me on a path of wild discovery. For me, Mid-Life demanded answers to questions I had been asking for decades. If I wanted to create a meaningful life, I had to buck up and bravely answer those big questions: Who am I? Really, who am I? Who do I want to be? Why not me? And what in the hell is standing in my way?
Introspection, awareness, and curiosity have become my faithful companions, and desire to change has taken on a whole new cadence. Mid-Life beckons us to return home to ourselves, to uncover our authentic voice, and to live the life we know is inside of us, waiting to be discovered. We must be the ones to discover and set the masterpiece alive. If I’ve learned anything, it is that no one else is going to do the work for me, and nor should they. We each have a mysterious, beautiful, and unique song to sing, and only we can sing it.
For you my readers, my tribe, I want to translate my personal story and coaching expertise into self-empowering experiences. Through my writings and wisdom on the topics of all things SELF, I want to walk with you on a journey of discovery. It is my intent to share meaningful information that leads to life-changing, impactful results that help you on your own path of self-healing, love, and awakening. We will explore topics related to understanding our minds and harnessing the power we have when we choose to become curious and to think something new. We will learn how to create the results we want, to take our power back, and to ignite our passion once again. This is real work, but when you begin to uncover the amazing gift that is YOU, you will see it is so worth the effort.
Let’s dive in together to first uncover and then reveal your inner most passion and truth. This is a heart-felt invitation to join me in creating your meaningful life, be it Mid-Life, before, or after. Truly, the timing is not as important as the being ready. Whatever your age, if my message resonates with you, then please accept my invitation and let me help you becoME!
I believe we all have a masterpiece inside of us waiting to be unearthed. I look forward to helping you discover your masterpiece. Join me inside, and let’s start creating the story of your dreams!

My life coaching sessions with Kathi have been life-changing for me. I’m someone who has struggled with being overwhelmed by negative self-talk and social anxiety for years and I noticed a positive shift immediately after my first session. She’s given me the tools to quiet that inner voice and begin to overcome other obstacles that have held me back for years from achieving my goals and having more harmony in my life. I’m on a journey towards living more compassionately, intentionally and confidently very much thanks to Kathi and our work together.

I wouldn’t say I was stuck, but rather just not moving toward fulfilling my life’s purpose as fast as I wanted. Being a connoisseur of self-help/improvement books, I believed I was taking most of the actions I needed toward achieving my goals… yet somehow, I knew I could do better. It was at this time I started my work with Kathi. With her coaching, I was introduced to tools that helped me evaluate and remove the obstacles that were slowing me from my success. With Kathi’s guidance, I’ve been able to refine my goals and bring them into focus. Using her techniques, I am successfully executing actions and making my goals a reality. Whether you are moving forward, stopped, or sliding backward, I would strongly recommend chatting with Kathi to see if there is a good fit. I am extremely satisfied with the progress I have made, and now that I have the tools, my growth is increasing exponentially.

My coaching sessions with Kathi have helped my self-confidence grow exponentially. It is often scary to
push past my limited thinking boundaries and embrace other possibilities for myself, but
Kathi has an exquisite way of supporting my process no matter where I am with it. She is the
embodiment of a loving witness. Through my work with Kathi, I frequently repeat to myself that I am
enough, I am loved, and lovable. I’m now believing nothing in this life can or ever will change that. What
a gift I’ve given myself to experience such heartfelt guidance from Kathi! If you, too, are seeking, reach
out to Kathi and book a session to see what you can create in your life!
