A very warm welcome to everyone,
My name is Kate McReynolds and for the last 30 years up until 2017, my career history was in Human Resource Management across various industries. Coaching, mentoring, and supporting staff in their career and personal experiences was not just a job, but a passion. I felt privileged to walk alongside people, enabling them to truly understand themselves, their capabilities, and potential.
What led to a major turning point in 2017?
2017 marked a significant turning point for me, as I made a bold decision to buy a holistic and alternative therapy business. However, several months later I went through a very challenging time in my personal life, which impacted me and my children. I moved to a new house and began a new journey and then started on an uncomfortable journey of menopause.
How did these changes impact my life?
Despite the challenges and uncertainties that came with these changes, I embrace them as opportunities for personal growth. The experience of navigating through such significant life changes allowed me to tap into my inner strength, resilience, and adaptability and to truly start to see myself through new eyes.
Through this journey, I learned to let go of the fear of the unknown and instead, embrace change as a catalyst for transformation. The process was not easy, but I found beauty in the chaos and discovered a newfound sense of self-awareness and empowerment.
What lessons were learned along the way?
My career working so closely with people prepared me to support others through their personal and professional challenges. However, it was through my own experiences of change and growth that I truly understood the power of resilience, self-reflection, and self-care.
By sharing my story, I hope to inspire others to embrace change, no matter how daunting it may seem. Every challenge is an opportunity for growth, and every setback is a chance to discover new strengths within oneself.
