Building Resilience.
Broadening Awareness.
Bridging Hope.
An extraordinary story of triumph and hope.
Kathy is first and foremost a wife, a mom, and now also a grandma. Life has taken her down many paths, but her passion for the message she candidly shares stems from some of her darkest moments.
As a young woman, grand dreams felt far out of reach, and Kathy's mental state was clouded by the weight of her circumstances. Succumbing to the violence, alcoholism, addictions and mental abuse that surrounded her in childhood, Kathy started to follow a destructive trajectory. Yet, in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, Kathy experienced a profound shift in perspective as a young woman that set her on a course towards personal redemption and professional success.
Transitioning from a place of literary, mental, and financial struggle, Kathy set out to develop her mind, her skills, and her career step by step and later emerged as a Corporate Trainer, Advocate, Author, and Inspirational Speaker.
These milestones did not come without its hurdles or setbacks, yet Kathy was able to turn to what she refers to as the building blocks for her resilience and win despite them. Kathy believes that these building blocks are foundational pillars to one’s ability to overcome despair and persevere no matter the odds.
​
The same building blocks she offers to her audiences for breaking the chains of the past and to learn, grow, and win despite each seemingly unsurmountable circumstance or goal.
Drawing from her own battles, Kathy passionately shares her story, equipping her audience with the same foundational building blocks that contributed to her ability to persevere in her personal and professional goals.
Residing in Virginia, Kathy’s message of resilience extends beyond the United States as she shares globally. When she is not on stage, consulting, educating, or writing, Kathy dedicates her time to her family, to being a complete dork, and to young adult mentorship, embodying her motto: “If I can win my fight, with the odds stacked against me, so can you, and you... and yes, even you!”
