Follow the YES!

Speaking

There’s no end to what we can do when we make a conscious choice to ignore the negative and let the YES lead us forward! I connect women with the power they already hold to be their best selves and live their best lives.

Coaching

I always say, the difference between a dream and a goal is a timeline. If you know where you’re going, you’re more likely to realize when you get there.Coaching is the tool to make your dreams a reality.

Using shoes as a metaphor for life, Be The Shoe provides women everywhere with a fresh perspective on their own lives and inspires them to pursue personal goals with ease, style, and the right pair of shoes. 

Kathy’s early career is highlighted by her business Born to Shop, named by Los Angeles Magazine as the best shopping service in Los Angeles, it produced and appeared in shopping and gift guide stories for featured segments on network television.

She eventually went on to earn an MEd degree from Antioch University in New England, and later worked with the Women’s Health Resource Center at Dartmouth College. Bringing together her accumulated expertise into a now thriving life coaching practice, Kathy helps Hollywood celebrities and everyday men and women empower themselves to reach their life goals.

Kathy was so wonderful and a joy to have speak to our women’s group!  I am getting emails from many of the ladies saying how much they enjoyed the presentation, humor, candor and “shoe to personality” comparisons. It was a beautiful day!

Knowing how difficult it can be to transition to new job, I was reluctant to actually go for it. Kathy helped show me that when you break the steps down into small tasks and lay out a timeline for the goals, it’s not so scary after all. Kathy is truly a gem!
— Elizabeth K.
Kathy helped my daughter figure out what would truly make her happy in life after graduating from college. She not only inspired my daughter, she also helped our relationship grow deeper than I thought possible.
