Most of my life, I was the Katie that everyone expected me to be, it wasn’t until I was an adult that it all started to seem inauthentic. Once I discovered who I truly was, that's when everything changed for me. Maybe you’ve had a similar experience or are on your journey of finding who you truly are and that’s why you’ve decided to listen to this podcast. I had the most beautiful conversation with my guest in the episode, Kate King.
