Hi, I'm Katy

The Longer Version

Before any of this, I had a corporate job. A normal one, on paper — the kind that's supposed to mean you made it.

Then 2024 happened.

My dad went into court-ordered rehab. My son graduated high school, and a few months later I moved him into his dorm at Clemson. The house — loud for eighteen years — went quiet overnight. Then my husband went into rehab too.

I didn't go live on TikTok because I had a plan. I went live because I needed money, and I didn't know what else to do with a house that quiet. No strategy, no followers, no safety net — just me, a phone, and bills that don't care how you're doing emotionally.

Turns out, I figured out TikTok. Along the way, God figured out me.

It wasn't the first time I'd had to figure things out with no one around to fix them for me. That's just always kind of been the pattern — you learn to make do, you don't always realize until later that it wasn't normal, and you keep going anyway.

These days I teach creators how to build real income online — the same scrappy, one-live-at-a-time way I did it. I write children's books. I speak to rooms that need truth more than hype. And I'm still figuring out my own next chapter, same as anyone else.

If you're building something online, or you're just in a season that went quiet on you too — pull up a chair. I've got more stories.
