Meet Katherine Hood,
A Happiness Coach!
I love fashion, bodybuilding, modeling, and anything outdoors (I lived in Alaska for 30 years), and I have loads of hobbies (ever-changing).
I can talk about mindset, health, fitness (I am a personal trainer, too), relationships, success (retired at age 35), being an empty nester, and being a woman in a male-dominated industry for 22 years (how to survive).
A happiness coach is your thinking partner. We can define what happiness means to you and work together to achieve it—asking profound questions in a safe, judgment-free zone that will lead to analyzing your patterns, cycles, thoughts, beliefs, stories, and behaviors limiting you or keeping you stuck.
Why do we need a thinking partner? Because we, as human beings, are oblivious to our way of thinking and behavior. We consider our view as the truth and not as one perspective.
