It’s all about connection.

Every email starts a conversation. Every blog post tells a story. Every message you share paints a picture of who you are and what you’re about.

To rock your business in a way that feels amazing, woo your dream clients, and build the brand that’s honestly you, you need to make sure you’re getting visible in a way that feels aligned. Make sure you’re baring your creative soul truly, madly, deeply.

But putting your soul on paper is no easy feat.

It’s a delicate balancing act of expressing your value and captivating your dream client. Walking the tightrope alone is scary.

That’s where I come in.


Hi. I’m Kate K. McCarthy, business + brand mentor for creative entrepreneurs.

My job is to help you infuse who you are into how you show up in your brand and business.

My job is to help you step out in courage and wield the power of your unique and passionate voice with ease.

My job, really, is to heart your heart and help you hear it better, too.

Sound oh-so-good? Let’s do this.

 
“I felt so stuck in my own head when we first started. I knew I had something valuable to share and people who need to hear it but I knew I wasn’t communicating effectively with my people.

Kate was beyond insightful. She asked me the questions that got me out of my own head. She was able to pinpoint exactly what makes me different and unique and show me how to tap into that in a genuine and non-salesy way. I realized after our time together that I needed to make the shift in changing my business name and really step into that. It was something I have been wanting to do but haven’t done it because I was just afraid of it. Such a powerful and eye opening experience.

You are so gifted, Kate! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”

“Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The rest of it will take care of itself.”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ // Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic

“Who you are today . . . that’s who you are. Be brave. Be amazing. Be worthy. And every single time you get the chance? Stand up in front of people. Let them see you. Speak. Be heard. Go ahead and have the dry mouth. Let your heart beat so, so fast. Watch everything move in slow motion. So what. You what? You pass out, you die, you poop? No. (And this is really the only lesson you’ll ever need to know.)”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ // Shonda Rhimes⠀ ⠀ Reminders as you stand at the edge of whatever big, brave work you have before you (even if - or, perhaps, especially if - that big, brave work looks like a serious of oh-so-small, deliberate steps).⠀ ⠀ Cheering you on always. xx⠀ ⠀ ---------------⠀ ⠀ P.S. Are you ready to build a braver brand? To give birth to your big ideas? To take deliberate, authentic action in your business? Let's do it!⠀ ⠀ I just reopened summer spaces for my 1:1 mentorships. New packages (with new pricing!) are coming soon, so make sure you snag these summer spots while they're available!
Are you a morning person or a night person or somewhere in between?⠀ ⠀ While @misterpjm and I were on our road trip, we decided to sleep with the sun, which meant going to bed around 9pm every night (as the sun was setting) and waking up with her around 5:30am every morning.⠀ ⠀ And y'all? It paid off. Like, big time.⠀ ⠀ Not only did we feel well-rested each morning, but we were treated with sights like this: the morning sun hitting the Rockies while two moose meander through a dew-dropped field. I mean, does it get much better than that?!⠀ ⠀ Now that I'm home, I'm trying to stay in tune with that sweet sun. Early to bed, early to rise, soaking in sweet moments in the morning light. ✨⠀ ⠀ What about you? Early bird? Night owl?
First day back in the office after a whopping 2+ weeks away, and y'all... I'm feeling all the feels. Grateful to be back doing what I love, over-the-moon excited for all that's to come this summer (and into fall!), and simultaneously overwhelmed by the size of my to-do list.⠀ ⠀ Some highlights from my first day back: connecting with my sister-friend with the wonderful words, @feelthesewordswriter, scrolling through brand photos from @shelbyapayne that make me feel both beautiful *and* f*cking fierce, and a couple of truly incredible client calls with some of my favorites!
