Curious about Kate’s costs and whether it works with your budget?
“Our counseling center was searching for someone who could speak to our students about resilience and when I landed on Kate’s website I knew we had found exactly the right person for the job. It was a pleasure to work with Kate from start to finish. She spoke in front of 200 of our students and they were absolutely riveted by her talk. The next day Kate shared some of the messages she received from our students and it was absolute evidence of the impact she made and skills she delivered to them. Thanks Kate for all that you brought to our students at Fairfield University, it was just what they needed to hear in these trying times!”

Kate’s talks help students manage anxiety by teaching the of their power of ''response-ability'' to ANY situation.
Response-ability is a life skill Kate had to learn after her sister was killed when she was just 20 years old and her grief spiraled her into a full-blown eating disorder.
