In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Kat Polsinelli. Meet Kat, a resilient individual who transformed her life's challenges into a story of strength and courage. With a passion for music she fearlessly took the stage at the age of 10yrs, driven by a deep love for performing. However, her journey took unexpected turns. At the age of 16yrs, Kat was faced with a daunting choice between leaving her son or embracing motherhood. Determined to overcome the obstacles, she embraced motherhood while pursuing her dreams and starting college. Along the way, she found herself trapped in an abusive relationship for 8 long years. Feeling completely defeated and untrusting of herself, she found the courage through her children to reclaim her life. Today, Kat is an inspiring entrepreneur, coach, speaker, and podcaster. Her love story defies convention, as she married her soul mate in a breathtaking cave, symbolizing their unique bond and shared journey. As the founder of The Lotus Effect, Kat believes true success transcends strategies and tactics. She empowers individuals to cultivate a powerful mindset and creates personalized operations that align with her client’s authentic selves. From time management and productivity to leadership and mindset, she equips individuals with the tools to thrive in both business and personal life.
