MY STORY
How It All Began
My mornings now start with sunrise bike rides to the beach, followed by laughter-filled outings with friends and precious time with my grandbabies. Living HAPPY is my mantra! But it wasn't always this way. After 30 years in corporate America as the go-to person who was overworked, underappreciated, and knowing I wanted more, I took a leap. I left it all behind, packed my bags, and moved to a beach town on a quest for happiness.
I know the weight of feeling stuck and the frustration of wanting more yet not knowing where to begin. That's why I'm passionate about helping women like you navigate this beautiful, messy, transformative time of life. Because I've been there, and I know that your best life isn't behind you but it's waiting just ahead.
Most coaches motivate and some inspire. I guide from experience. I normalize the unknown "what now". I know and can hold the fear. I can validate the grief of the empty nest. Without overpowering I guide women toward the horizon. You are already there but just need a nudge in the right direction.
I have felt all you have, the kids moving away, the loss of a job, the fear of the unknown yet I chose to make midlife feel like a beginning instead of a crisis.
I am the BE HAPPY believer. I’ve learned that the most potent magic doesn't require perfection but the confidence and the frequency you choose to live in.

I'm living the 3rd Chapter of...

My 2nd Act:
Embracing new beginnings with
excitement and joy:
I wake up every day thrilled to be alive and share my vibrant energy with the world
I never miss a Wednesday night call with my shaman
The ocean is my morning ritual. A beach walk fuels my with positivity for whatever the day brings
I used to put everyone else's needs above my own, but now my happy journey is my North Star that guides the way. (And I can teach you how to do that too!)
My favorite thing in life is empowering women to own the present and stride confidently into the future
I know the weight of feeling stuck and the frustration of wanting more, yet not knowing where to begin.
If Hollywood made a movie about my life, it would be Kathy's Great Adventures. I enjoy living my dream life in Virginia Beach. My morning’s always start with a sunrise bike ride to the beach and I love stepping out with friends, sharing laughs and stories that just fill the soul. I always have a good book to read. And family time (especially with my grandbabies) is my heart's priority. It’s what keeps everything grounded.
Live HAPPY sums it up!


Life is not just happening to me anymore.
I'm making it happen.
Now, every morning starts with a beach walk that fuels me with positivity, and I never miss my weekly call with my shaman, grounding me in gratitude and purpose.
I made my own big, bold leap in my fifties, moving to the beach, starting my own business, and embracing a life that feels purposeful, joyful, and unapologetically "ME"
And here is my message to you:
If you want to live the life of your dreams, it is all about daring to step forward, even if the path isn't perfectly clear.
I'm here to show you that your best days aren't behind you, they are waiting right in front of you.
