The Transformative Power of Meditation: Kathryn credits meditation for saving her life as a teenager. It helped her overcome depression, improve her grades, and set her on a path of lifelong personal development.

Importance of Resilience: Kathryn emphasizes resilience, both in her own life and in her daughter’s journey to becoming an Olympic silver medalist. She notes that resilience is partly inherited but also cultivated through life experiences.

Early Adoption of Meditation: Kathryn was an early adopter of meditation, starting at 16, which was uncommon at the time. This early start shaped her future career and passion for teaching others.

The Role of Affirmations: Kathryn shares how she used affirmations with her children from a young age, believing that these positive reinforcements contributed to their success and well-being.

Self-Love as a Foundation for Peace: Her book "Befriend Yourself" focuses on self-love as the key to inner peace. She believes that true self-love comes from accepting oneself fully and learning to care for one’s own needs.

Practical Meditation Tools: Kathryn developed a meditation app called "Tranquil Me" that includes features like adjustable music and voice settings, designed to make meditation more accessible and customizable.


Cultural Challenges to Self-Love: Kathryn discusses how cultural conditioning often makes self-love difficult, especially in Western societies, where people are constantly striving for perfection.
