Kate tells the truth about falling apart and beginning again — with warmth, humor, and practical takeaways. No guru energy, no platitudes. Just a story people see themselves in, and tools they actually use.
30–60 minute talks for conferences, company events, and community gatherings.
A generous, story-rich guest who arrives prepared and promotes the episode.
Warm, candid conversation — moderated or as a fellow panelist.
Interactive sessions on resilience, reinvention, and community building for teams.
Kate's signature talk. How the chapters we hide — accident, pain, grief, starting over — become our most powerful source of connection, confidence, and purpose.
A practical, honest roadmap for reinvention after loss, injury, burnout, or big change — how to grieve the old life and build the new one at the same time.
Compound grief, chronic pain, and the losses no one brings casseroles for — and how honest conversation turns mourning into meaning.
Why belonging is the most underrated force in healing, business, and leadership — and how to build genuine community from zero, in a new city or a new chapter.
Entrepreneurship as a second act: building a company after your first life plan collapses, and leading from lived resilience instead of borrowed hustle.
The alchemy of turning what hurt you into what helps others — without toxic positivity, spiritual bypassing, or pretending the hard parts weren't hard.
Kate spent a decade producing events and experiences before she ever held a microphone as a speaker. She treats your stage, your show, and your audience with a producer's care.
She researches your audience, tailors the talk, and arrives with your goals in mind — she's produced enough events to know what organizers need.
Audiences leave with practical tools for resilience and reinvention, not just goosebumps.
Clear communication, on-time assets, flexible formats, and genuine promotion of your event or episode.
The talks that change people aren't the ones with the best slides. They're the ones where somebody finally says the thing everyone in the room has been carrying alone.Kate Vollmer
