TSM: Hi Cat, great to have you in the magazine. Thanks so much for doing an interview for TSM.
 
CK: Thank you Jessica, it’s lovely to have this invitation to join you. 
 
TSM: How did you get your start in writing? Did you always want to be a writer?

CK: I’ve always pondered deeply about life, I suppose that’s a better answer than whether I wanted to specifically be a writer. I’m a questioner of everything. I’ve always been someone who questions every question, and I instantly go to the bigger perspective of why something was asked. Growing up I often wondered why I wasn’t actually being asked the right question, like my intuition always took me a few questions ahead, and I’d answer that one instead. I think that must have driven my family a bit mad, but now I see it as a big part of my journey to doing the work that I do. 

Writing was the first step for me to be able to delve into these wider perspectives of life, and to touch into the collective depth of realities that we all have access to. This inspired writing has evolved over time, to allow me now to tap into directly channeling higher wisdom, and inspiration, where I explore deeply to support humanity with the weirdness of Life in our present times.

TSM: Can you recall the very first piece of writing you wrote?
 
CK: The most important thing I ever wrote, in getting me to ‘here’, was one word… Louise. I still have the notebook that I wrote it in, and I often look back on the complexity, and bravery of writing that simple word. You see, for my whole life, I’ve been ‘sensitive’, and my childhood nights were plagued by fears when I would see faces in my room, hear voices, and feel people sit on my bed when there was no one there. I was often taken into different realities in my dreams, and saw terrifying visions of things which would make no sense until I was much, much, older. Because of this fear, I turned away from anything at all that was ‘weird’, and it wasn’t until I was in my 20s that I actively made the decision to start investigating what was really going on. 

So one night, I chose to put a notebook by my bed, and turned directly toward the things that had terrified me. I chose to dream, and to remember, and that one word, was the first aspect of inspiration I brought back with me from a profound vision – it was a name that came with me out of the dream – and in the act of writing it down, my life changed. It was, if you like the first time I brought the ‘not thisness’, back with me into this reality of this life.  

TSM: What inspired you to get into coaching and motivational speaking?

CK: Over the years, I saw my shelves get filled with notebooks, all with questions I’d asked of life as I’d been awakening and growing, and questioning – myself, reality, connection, perspectives and humanity. As this library of work got more and more profound, I also saw a shift in the clients that I was seeing in my Marketing business shift and change. 
 
Even though this ‘writer/channeler’ part of me was very much hidden at that time, spiritual teachers, healers, authors, and transformational guides in every which way, started to find their way to me. I was able to blend all of me into the day to day work that I did at that time, and found myself not only creating websites and branding materials for people, but also helping them to elevate their own perspectives, and grow into these new expanded visions of themselves. My clients started to recommend me to each other saying, “you need to speak to Magic Cat,” and from there on, my work as a coach and transformational mentor has grown ‘magically’ all by itself. 
 
TSM: You said, “It’s taken me years to finally grow into the bravery I’ve needed, to become all I need to be, to do the work that I do.” What steps did you take to grow and be who you are today?

CK: Stepping out fully in the world, and bringing all of who you are for everyone to see, is one of the bravest and most courageous things that any of us can ever do. It takes facing our deepest fears, and standing in determination, to always choose to be ‘ME’. Choosing to ‘be me’, over and over and over again; feeling, and working through every level of discomfort, but still choosing ‘me’, is the journey we all undertake as we walk this path to finding and being the best version of ourselves that we can be – and everyday, we’re becoming a new, greater version of that. 
 
Most of us spend our lives hiding behind what we think we ought to be, or what we’ve drifted into, rather than knowing that we are ALL here to be something truly unique and powerful. 
 
Let’s be honest, being a channeler with a collective collaboration called The Crew, is not an easy space to stand in and say, “yep, that’s me – you don’t have to like it, I don’t need your approval – that’s who I am.” I now deeply believe in myself, and the expansive work that I do, as I’ve seen the transformations that happen, and the perspectives shift in the people I work with time, and time again.
