Ageism is Bullshit.
Aging Freely is the Future.
Speaker &
Podcast Guest
Our aging ripples outward—shaping not just our lives, but the generations to come.
They’re watching us—oh yeah.
What we do today shows them what’s possible: later years full of joy, inner freedom, and vibrancy.
Be part of this change.
WHY I SPEAK.
Cruel and insidious, ageism fills us with shame for simply growing older. Most of us swim in ageist beliefs without even realizing it. I’m here to flip the script—showing that decline isn’t just loss, but the doorway to the expansions we’ve always wanted. Impermanence—the thing we’re taught to fear—is actually life’s elegant design.
My talks blend research, storytelling, irreverence, and wonder to spark conversations that stick. Audiences don’t need more “inspiration”—they need truth that upends internal ageism and tools they can use to live more freely, right now.
PRESENTATIONS
AND TALKS.
Every talk is tailored to your audience—leaving them with insights, laughter,
and practical tools to embrace aging with curiosity, joy, and freedom.
With decades of counseling, teaching, and speaking experience—plus TEDx and keynote appearances—I partner with event coordinators to craft presentations that engage, educate, and energize.
Here’s a sampling of my signature talks:
- Ageing Sucks—or Does It?
Challenge the myths. Reclaim your future.
This engaging and thought-provoking keynote dismantles ageism from the inside out. Kat reveals how the stories we’ve absorbed about aging shape our experience of growing older—and how breaking free from the myths of aging can transform not only how we age, but how we live.
- How Do We Live When Everything Changes?
The gift of impermanence
In this poignant exploration of life’s impermanence, we delve into the profound question: Can we not only accept but cherish the beauty of life precisely because of its fleeting nature? Audiences will discover how leaning into impermanence unlocks presence, awe, and deeper connection with life itself.
- The Expansion Years
Beyond the story of decline
What if aging isn’t simply a story of decline? What if every loss also creates the possibility for a different kind of growth? This inspiring keynote explores how the changes and challenges of later life can open the door to a deeper, more authentic relationship with ourselves and with life itself. Decline and expansion are not opposites—they are dance partners, revealing the unexpected gifts of growing older.
