Health is an inside job. Get intentional with holistic health and lifestyle choices by applying purpose.

My name is Katie, also known as Purposeful Katie, and I'm reaching out to express my interest in joining your podcast as a guest. As a certified health, wellness, and mindset coach, as well as the author of the book "Purposeful Health," I bring a unique perspective to the conversation surrounding holistic well-being. Graduating from the Institute of Integrated Nutrition (IIN) in 2021, I reside in Minneapolis, Minnesota, alongside my husband Howard and our cherished dog Meara. With over a decade of experience in social services, my journey towards health coaching was deeply influenced by my own health challenges. In my late adolescence, I encountered alarming stomach issues that significantly impacted my life. Despite numerous doctor visits and tests, my symptoms persisted, leaving me feeling unheard and frustrated within the healthcare system. It wasn't until nearly a year later, after consulting with a specialist at the University of Minnesota, that I received a diagnosis of intussusception—a serious condition affecting the intestines. Following surgery and a lengthy recovery, I embarked on a path of radical self-care, exploring holistic approaches such as acupuncture, meditation, and a plant-based diet. This transformative experience ignited my passion for empowering others to take control of their mental and physical well-being. Transitioning from social services to health coaching, I discovered my true calling: guiding individuals towards purpose, balance, and happiness through personalized lifestyle changes. I believe my journey, coupled with my professional expertise, could offer valuable insights to your audience, particularly those navigating health challenges or seeking holistic wellness solutions. I'm eager to discuss topics such as reclaiming ownership of one's health journey, the power of mindset in healing, and the importance of holistic approaches to well-being. I am flexible and open to discussing potential topics that align with the themes of your podcast. If you think my story and expertise would resonate with your audience, I would be honored to join you for an episode. Thank you for considering me as a potential guest. I look forward to the opportunity to share my insights and connect with you and your listeners. Well Wishes, Katie
