Today we welcome our dear friend, Kate Strong. She gets vulnerable as we talk about single motherhood, giving back to women, and her own transformation, which is a powerful story that has layer after layer. We love our conversation with Kate because it will resonate with anyone who is going deeper for themselves. We discuss the importance of self care and how important it is to make sure we are taken care of and being present. It can become so easy to find fault and blame the other person, but owning up to your own mistakes and imperfections will make your own life better and everyone around you will be able to see this positive change and benefit from it. “If we stop being curious, perhaps we’ll die.”

“I decided I would do a pajama drive for the local yoga studio where I started practicing, and at the end of that experience I had a girl walk up to me and said ‘You know Kate, I was there last year.’ and I said ‘What do you mean?’ and she said ‘I was at the shelter last Christmas.” I got in my car and I thought ‘How are she and I different?’ and it was powerful. I sat there and I just started crying and I said ‘You know what? I have resources and money, and that’s the only difference. So in that moment I committed that I would show up and I would help women.” 13:47
