Hey there! I’m Kathlyn.
And as a Transition Strategist, I help high-performing women, primarily Black women, navigate life and career transitions without unnecessary chaos, by deepening self-trust and realigning with your values.
After navigating an unexpected career shakeup — and realizing I was already outgrowing the role — I started building a life that felt more aligned with who I really am.
On this blog, I share personal reflections, practical guidance, and ease-centered strategies to help you move forward without waiting for burnout, breakdown, or someone else’s decision to force the change.
