Third Grade
My Story
I'm highly intuitive. I used it long before I recognized it for what it was. Once recognized, I spent decades developing and trusting that guidance. It shows up in many ways — in conversation, I can be a few minutes in and already sense the "thing." The block. The fear. The piece that's quietly running everything. I feel it as a full-body knowing. And I have tools I've worked with for years that help me check, discern, and confirm what I'm receiving. That's not a technique I learned. It's how I'm wired. And it's how I work.
I'm also a teacher, a deep listener, and a lifetime learner. People have told me for decades — long before I called myself anything professionally — that something I said landed in a way nothing else had. That I touched something they'd felt but couldn't name. That's the work I'm here to do.
The business background is real too. My parents ran a small-town grocery store and meat market, and by third grade I was running the cash register while my older brothers stocked the shelves. Business wasn't something I chose — it was just the water I swam in.
I went on to build several businesses of my own, including a successful real estate company that I ran for over two decades. From the outside, everything looked fine. More than fine, actually. But alongside all of it, I'd always carried bigger questions.
Who are we, really? Why are we here? What's the deeper purpose behind all this doing?
For a long time I walked two paths — the path of business, and the path of self-discovery. Side by side. Close, but never quite touching.
Then came 2020.
I was standing in a gorgeous multi-million dollar oceanfront home. Mask on, surgical gloves, pocket full of wipes — sanitizing doorknobs and light switches like I was on a hazmat crew. Outside, waves were crashing. Seagulls calling. Inside, I was trying to hold it all together in a world that no longer made sense.
And something cracked open.
I looked out at that ocean and heard myself ask: What am I doing?
And then — quietly, clearly — came the answer:
You're not here to sanitize doorknobs. You're here to shift energy.
That moment didn't change everything overnight. But something inside me had moved — and it wouldn't move back.
I closed my business. Sold the building. Stepped into the unknown.
It wasn't easy. But it was right. Even if I did question it from time to time.
I finally let those two paths — the inner and the outer — come together.
What followed was its own journey. I sought guidance, invested in programs, encountered plenty of beautiful language wrapped around the same old push-and-scale model. I learned to tell the difference between what resonated and what just looked like it might. And slowly, through that process, Purple Door Entrepreneur took shape — not from a business plan, but from everything I'd lived.
Today I work with conscious entrepreneurs who are ready to build differently. Not just for success — but for clarity, alignment, and a business that finally reflects who they actually are.
We don't start with strategy. We start with frequency — your energy, your values, your deeper knowing. From there, the offering, the message, the people you're meant to serve — it all starts to click into place.
I believe business can be a path of awakening rather than burnout.
And I still get stuck sometimes — because the more willing I am, the more my path offers new opportunities to grow. But now I pause, listen, and align instead of pushing through.
And here's something I've learned that most business advice completely ignores.
Frequency isn't just about your business. It's about all of it — your relationships, your body, your emotions, your finances, your spiritual connection. If one of those areas is carrying fear, desperation, or unresolved tension, that energy comes through. In your videos. In your writing. In your conversations. In the offers you make and the clients you attract.
You can't separate who you are from what you're building. That's not a problem to fix. It's actually the doorway.
If you're still reading this, maybe you believe that too.

How I Work
I don't arrive with a checklist.
I arrive with presence, a cup of tea — and a genuine curiosity about what's actually going on for you, underneath the strategies you've tried and the noise you've accumulated.
Most of what I do happens in conversation. Not because I have all the answers, but because I've found that clarity tends to surface when two people think out loud together honestly, without agenda. You already know more than you think you do. Sometimes you just need a space where that knowing can rise.
I'm particularly drawn to the moments where things feel tangled — where you sense something needs to shift but can't quite name what. That's usually where the most important work lives.
What I offer is attention, deep listening, pattern recognition, and a grounded perspective from someone who has walked a long business path and chose to rebuild it from the inside out.
If that sounds like what you've been looking for — I'd love to hear from you.
Let's connect.
No intake form. No pressure. Just an honest conversation to start.

The somatic healing that we did was profound. So I'll try to be brief. Just before coming out with my book "Toxic Family" I had a lot of issues around the words toxic family.
I was feeling like I was throwing my family under the bus. Kathryn did some work with me on somatic body imagery and feelings around that and it was incredibly heart opening and healing.
I'm coming from a place where now I feel like I'm not pointing a finger at my family members. I'm opening opportunities for authentic truths to be revealed from all of us. Allowing for a great opportunity to have actual profound healing while we're all still here on the planet (and off) and for other families to do the same.
It was amazing.

Do you feel trapped inside yourself? Like you really wish to be seen and heard and have the opportunity to share your gifts, your knowledge, your dream, but you don’t have a clue of how
do that.
Well, that is how I felt. Then Kathryn enters the scene, she takes my blindfold off, she takes my hand and suddenly I feel that trust, that certainty that my dream is not just possible, is coming true step by step, at my rhythm, gently and easily.
Kathryn has the gift to show you how it is done, and she helps you to do it in your own way. Her support is always there. Her intuition is like a powerful laser that can identify your obstacles and with her amazing kit of tools, the obstacles are overcome swiftly.
Kathryn is a blessing in my life.
