ABOUT ME
For most of my life, I chased external success. I built a career—journalist, business owner, CEO. I thrived on challenge, problem-solving, and new experiences. But that pursuit also led to burnout, PTSD, and a forced reckoning with everything I thought I knew about myself.
Healing changed me. It stripped me down to my core, revealing something I had always known but struggled to embrace: I am not just one thing. None of us are.
Now, I’m leaning into the freedom of reinvention. I’m an aspiring yoga teacher. A flower farmer in the making. A writer—not as a job, but as a calling. The ocean and my daily dips are my inspiration and meditation. And I’m done making myself small to fit into someone else’s idea of who I should be.
With love,
Kim xo
