Katherine, what inspired you to begin your journey as a life coach?
There were a few big things. First, it had always been a dream of mine. While I was teaching high school, I realized that what I loved most was when students came to me with personal problems. It was empowering to help them uncover their own answers. That kind of moment—when someone realizes they had the strength all along—was so powerful.
Then, after losing my niece unexpectedly in a car accident, I had a deep realization about the value of time. I had been putting off my dream, thinking I had forever. But that experience taught me otherwise. I knew I needed to use the time I have doing something meaningful. That’s what pushed me to finally take the leap and start my business.
Who do you primarily work with, and what kind of transformation do you help your clients achieve?
I mostly work with women who are overwhelmed or going through some life transition. Many are trying to figure out their next steps, and they’re looking for clarity and emotional support. I help them break things down into manageable steps, create a safe and supportive space, and offer accountability.
Some of the transformations I’ve witnessed are incredible—women becoming kinder to themselves, letting go of long-held burdens, or stepping into their authentic selves. One client told me she let go of something that had been weighing her down for 12 years, just in one session. That kind of emotional release and self-love is so meaningful.
Have you ever dealt with imposter syndrome, especially working with older clients?
Yes, definitely. I’ve had moments where I felt too young or inexperienced—especially since many of my clients are older women. I’d think, “How can I help them?” But then I remind myself: I’ve been on this journey for nearly a decade. I started young, and I’ve been deeply immersed in learning, healing, and growing.
Imposter syndrome often comes from not giving ourselves credit for what we’ve already done. Many women feel they need more experience before they’re “ready,” but truthfully, you’re never really going to feel 100% ready. You just have to start and trust in your value.
Knowing what you know now, is there anything you would have done differently when starting out?
Absolutely. I was confident in my coaching skills but overwhelmed by the sales and marketing side. Everyone had different strategies, and it became confusing. Eventually, I learned that you have to find what works for you—something that feels in alignment. There isn’t just one right way to build a business.
Success doesn’t have to be immediate. You just have to keep showing up and serving people in the way that feels authentic to you.
What does success mean to you, both personally and professionally?
Personally, success is being happy and present—doing meaningful work and truly connecting with the people around me. Professionally, my mission is to help a thousand women heal, feel empowered, and live more authentically. If I can make even a small difference in someone’s life, that feels like success to me.
What’s one challenge in the coaching space that many people don’t anticipate?
Patience. You often work for a long time before seeing big results. In the U.S., it’s said that most businesses take about three years to become profitable. It’s important to stay committed, even when it feels slow. Keep putting yourself out there, and know that progress doesn’t always happen overnight.
Is there anything exciting you’re working on right now?
Yes! I’m currently developing a new meditation course that I plan to launch within the next few months. It came from my clients’ feedback—so many women found my visualizations powerful and started asking if I had something they could access regularly. I took that as a sign to create it!
“You don’t need to be perfect to help others. You just need to be real, committed, and willing to keep growing.” – Katherine Victoria Kimball
