#BREAKTHEMOLD

Hey. Y’all. If you are reading this, you probably know me already, since most of you are my Facebook friends or follow me on Instagram. If you don’t, or even if you do, I want to say welcome to this page, and thank you for taking the time to read this and support me here on this platform.

My name is Kathryn, but most people call me Kat now. I am 28 years old and grew up in the true “dirty South” (although this is a little misleading because it’s actually really clean and people are very warm and friendly). I am a yoga teacher, a dreamer, a creator and a leader. But I would probably describe myself best as a traveler.

As many of you know, I have been traveling the world on and off solo for the past 6 years. I don’t quite know why or what compelled me to travel; I get that question a lot…why do you travel? I guess you could say I’ve had a burning curiosity for how other people live for as long as I can remember. I can’t explain it, or where it came from. Maybe it’s because I come from a super conservative culture. Maybe it’s genetic; my grandmother was a fierce, strong independent traveler too in her days.

All I can say is that I have an intense desire to explore the world: know new cultures, meet new people, experience how other people live.

Study cultures, people, observe habits and perspectives. It fascinates me.

As I travel and as I continue to connect more and more with myself and others, I have found that there is nothing in the whole world that brings me more joy than sharing light with other people. Than helping people overcome their fears, move beyond their thoughts, emotions, circumstances and stories, and realize that there is a deeper joy, a ever-present peace, that is continuously present beyond the noise of our minds.

I want to help you connect to yourself through the power of yoga and meditation and enable you to pursue your highest passion.

I’m making it my life’s work, and I’m doing it by traveling the damn world.

If you had asked me 10 years ago, or even 5, if I thought I’d be where I am now…I’d probably laugh in your face.

The thing is, I’ve always had this dream, even as a little girl. The only difference between now and then is that back then, the dream was real fuzzy, and I was more or less paralyzed with fear at the sentiment of it even being acceptable to pursue a life like this.

And now here I am.

I am here to help you overcome the limitations of your mind and help you realize that anything is possible when you are following your true heart. Think you can’t? Scared of what will happen? Feeling stuck in life, or like happiness is reserved for “those” kinds of people?

Think again.

If I can do it, so can you. Each and every one of us have something different, something unique, to offer to the world. There is nobody else exactly like you, and nobody else has what you have to offer. We are here to find it, and share our gifts with the world.

There is a whole world out there, outside the box that we think we live in.

This is the expansion of my box.

I created this page as a platform to share what I know, to share what I love, and to connect with you all in the best way I know how.

I am so proud of the girl that I was, the woman I am, and the human that I am continually becoming. I only hope that I can help you in any way I can to overcome your fears and to #BREAKTHEMOLD.

I am @southerngirlabroad.
