Hello, I’m Katrin—friends call me Kat.

(need to document moments where I’m not in a messy bun and athleisure wear)

Writing is a new(ish) endeavor for me, sparked by the raw beauty and chaos of motherhood. It all began with the birth of my son, Phoenix, which lit a fire in me to express all the stirring emotions: the grief, the rebirth, the becoming.

But this journey of self-discovery started long before that. In 2010, I lost my mother to cancer at a very young age. And in 2012, a massive spiritual awakening (and a few wild out of body experiences) cracked me open and set me on a path of transformation. That calling led me to become a certified life coach and energy medicine practitioner, eager to share the breakthroughs I experienced through energy work and inner healing.

I witnessed firsthand how subtle shifts in awareness could change everything—how thoughts and emotions alchemize internally, shaping the reality we live in. To help cope with grief and heartbreak. That deepening self-awareness inspired me to create and publish a gratitude journal (check it out here!).

So here I am—writing about what it means to navigate grief, resilience, fear and self-doubt. To embrace vulnerability and authenticity, to step into the unknowns of life and motherhood, to heal through it all. This is my place to explore, create, and bring to life the simmering prompts from my soul. It’s messy. It’s vulnerable. And I’m honored you’re here to witness it.

P.S. I recently started a business too! Follow along as I share what it looks like to leap.

x yours truly, Katrin
