My naked post went viral!

"I saw a meme the other day that said the older we get, the uglier we're willing to go out in public. 🤣And it's true! After I mowed my yard and washed my car and bathed my dog, I took a shower and still needed to run to Target, but I just couldn't bring myself to put anything on my face I'd have to take off again later. Is it just me or is that SUCH a pain in the ass? 🙄I got hungry while I was out so I took myself to dinner - and here I am. It's quite liberating! There's something so magical about not giving a shit. 👏👏👏"

This post went viral last week. And can I just tell you, I've NEVER had a post go viral - but this random, in-the-moment thought caught fire! Maybe it was the algorithm - or maybe there are just a LOT of people out there who know exactly what I'm talking about. 😉Either way, the irony wasn't lost on me.

I love this place I've landed in myself - not just because of the years I've been on the planet, but because of the healing I've been willing to do and the generational baggage I've been willing to unpack. You'd have to know where I came from for that to make sense - why it's a big deal to go out "naked" in public - but if you're nodding your head right now, you know of what I speak.

I think the bottom line for me is this: I learned WHO to be, not HOW to be fully me. That conditioning was so deeply engrained that it took losing that version of myself to finally come home to the REAL me. And no - she's NOT "ugly", but those deep rooted beliefs sure made her feel that way.

If you've been connected with me here for long, you know some of my story...the turning point that almost wrecked me - well, that DID wreck me actually, but that also brought me all the way back to parts of myself I never even knew I'd lost. And the result?

I'm FREE. I'm in my skin - and I like it here!

This is what so many women come to me with - feeling "outside" themselves. Not sure who they are anymore. Not sure how they got there, but have a deep longing to get back to who they ARE.

If you're one of those nodding in recognition, I'd love to hear your story. It matters, and sometimes just naming it moves us closer. I read all of them - just reply and share away! 😊

So much love, Kate 💗

This made me cry.

Reader, it's messages like these that bring me to tears. Every. Single. Time. From M, after her Sacred Shift™ session: "Kate, I cannot adequately explain the feelings I had yesterday. Holding that 4 year old me in my arms was unbelievable. So much comfort, so much love, so much relief running through my heart and soul. It was amazing. The freedom I experienced overwhelmed me. It makes me cry just replaying it over in my mind. Such a weight lifted from my mind and body. I slept like a safe,...

If I knew then what I know now...

Hi my friends, thank you for the replies to my last email - your stories reminded me why I do this work. Thank you for trusting me with them. Six years out, so much is more clear than when I was in the thick of it - especially how many women have been there, or are stuck there now. They feel like they've lost a part of who they are - they don't recognize themselves anymore and they're not sure when or how it happened. Or they DO know, but they don't know how to get back to her. That...

6 years ago today.

6 years ago today, my life was permanently and perfectly changed. And it was the bravest and hardest thing I've ever done. One month before, I sat on the floor in front of my husband, having had enough of the silent chasm between us. Three weeks of walking on eggshells, waiting for another round of shut down/shut out mode to pass. I'd finally realized after almost a decade, that it happened in cycles, although I didn't know why yet. This time felt different - more harsh. Maybe it was the...
