notes on mastering the art of transcendence and refinement with Coached By Kate
Every personality test I’ve ever taken puts the word zeal somewhere near the top for me. Wholehearted. Driven. Purpose-centered. It’s almost funny how consistent it is—this theme of having a big, bright internal fire. I am passionate. But here’s the truth no test captures: Even the most zealous person gets tired. Especially in December. Between [...]
Maybe exhaustion is not a curse but a kind of evidence. Proof that I have shown up. Proof that I have poured out effort, love, energy, and presence. Proof that I have lived.
Let's just start here. You have the most technical shills at any of us, you've been through a Pandemic, Your smarter than me. Honestly. "Mini millennials" is a term used to describe you because of your link to very end of the Gen X and millennial parents. Your ability to tic. toc, online date, debate politics, care for world issues, and not worry about the traditions that died out during your time astounds me. You are the first generation to be born entirely in the 21st century! Give yourself a pat on the back. Seriously. I hope you always carry the zeal and energy that you have now. You will change the world for the better. I'm sure it. I'm sorry we haven't done better for you.
I live in suburban Atlanta these days so you may be asking yourself what in the world the title of this blog is doing on a personal coaches site that is nowhere near the country! There are lessons in everything and a person can grow wherever they are! So I'd love to take the time [...]

This year marked a unique moment for me. As a child, teen and college aged individual I moved around a good bit. I wasn't raised in a military family but the average move time would be very similar to that lifestyle growing up. So now as an adult I have finally lived in one place [...]
The Media has been toting all kinds of propaganda and lies. This is not new. It also is not something that will go away. So how do we differentiate what is real, what is false, what has a deceitful agenda backing it and what is true versus lucky options coming to pass? Sometimes we want [...]
Many of us struggle with the concept of forgiveness, confession, and reconciliation. Often in Christian circles they are explained in a loop and a three part requirement to our faith. I would love to take this post to help clarify and give my personal thoughts on the matter. Forgiveness we know doesn't take anyone else [...]
My daughter is a solo performer in the art and sport of figure skating. This terrifies me. It seems lonely and vulnerable in ways I wouldn't dream of doing myself. To be a solo performer means no one is on the ice with her. There is no hiding behind the strength of another. There is [...]
