Storytime!

Hi, boss - I’m Kathryn! This whole journey started when I was stuck at home as a pre-teen, lacking a purpose and terrified (you know - that kind of soul-rattling terrified) to go to school, or even walk outside. I opted to homeschool after suffering from a severe anxiety disorder and horrible bouts of bullying from the mean girls in grades 2-6. Little did I know, this decision would shape my life into the wonderful, out-of-this-world blessing that I call the present.

What were the most popular things on the Internet in 2006? MySpace.com and blogs! You bet I was entrenched in them! The Internet quickly became the way I discovered my heroes, made friends, met my first love, came to a better understanding of my heritage as an adopted child and was eventually the thing that convinced me to get out of the shell I had been living in for the past decade.

In 2009, I transferred back to public school. (Of course, I kept blogging). My story came full circle when, after studying psychology for two-and-a-half of my four years in college, I participated in two business and leadership programs that forever changed my life.

That next week, I launched my business and never looked back.
Now I'm #livingmybestlife, assisting passionate and inspiring folks who have shredded their own deepest fears and overcome their own unique obstacles. I get to help them showcase their amazing talents and gifts with the world... on the Internet!

I was the headstrong type in school and always kept my eye on the prize. Community advocacy deeply spoke to me at age 16 and I felt immediately called to help, serving on a nonprofit board of directors for the next 6 years, assisting my beloved LGBTQ community, working to increase positive legislation and overall social equality for this remarkably inspiring minority group. Later, I shifted my focus to empowering women entrepreneurs and co-established a local women business owner networking and support group of 150+ women in 2017. You can read more about this in South Sound Business Magazine.

I'm all about authenticity. Belonging. Transparency. #CommunityOverCompetition. Organic growth. Lifelong learning. Loyalty. Kindness. Tenderness and sentiment, yet so much passion and strength. I am fiercely opposed to the idea that we must fit into a confined box.

Your business is unlike anyone else's and that's the way it should be.

Internet communications are deeply woven into the fabric - the DNA - of my being. I'm here to use my appreciation and adoration of digital media and social connection to catapult your brand to new heights and strengthen the relationships you have with your customers and clients so you can achieve greater brand awareness, recognition and cohesion.

I will be your biggest cheerleader, your best advocate and your most trusted confidant. I can't wait to see how we will work together.

Thank you for the honor of being part of your story.
