In today’s Spotlight Session, I’m talking to , who is an RN Holistic Health Consultant and a former holistic nurse, who has helped more than thousands of people get rid of stress and live a healthy life.
Kathleen had a stressful life. She has dealt with things like smoking and addictions, even mental health issues, but she managed to overcome all of these at age 27 and she’s now clean and sober for 37 years.
That’s when she decided to become a holistic nurse.
But at age 60 something happened.
She went through a drastic life-changing event which made her resign and come to Substack to do something she now calls “her calling”.
That’s how her Substack “Transform to Wellness” was born.
Watch the video to hear her story and learn more about:
Where do most skin issues come from
Why the microbiome is not only about the guts
What’s the essential oil everyone needs to have in the house
And also: what is the Microbiome Program is all about, how you can get it and so much more!
Her approach is different: she doesn’t do band-aids, she doesn’t treat the symptoms like everyone else does. She gets to the root cause and addresses it directly in a holistic way.
“You can’t change the system, but you can change one person at a time” Kathleen says.
You’ll also learn about her Substack journey and particularly how:
she approached Substack not knowing how to write and what to do on the platform.
the Notes Challenge and the Unplugged community helped her grow on Substack.
working with someone who “knows what they’re doing” can accelerate your growth on Substack.
Watch the episode till the end to get a sneak peek of what’s coming up in 2025 - you’ll be amazed!
And remember to post your questions to Kathleen in the comments :)

I enjoyed hearing your story.
You are an inspiration to all the women out there. You show them that starting over stronger is possible!
Happy New Year and all the very best for 2025!
thank you, Desiree.
I have a strong will and desire in me to never give up and I've been push down stepped on and everything else from early childhood actually but I kept getting back up and then when I had the knowledge and the courage to use my voice, it came out loud and strong, and I haven't turned back.
I'm very outspoken, but there's a reason for that.
happy new year to you, my dear and God bless you 🙏
Kathleen, wow, this turned out great, bravo!!
Yana did a great job interviewing me and editing it. I don't really like watching myself, but I went ahead and watched it and obviously when you look back, there's things you wish you had said or things you wish you hadn't had said, but we speak what we speak at the time and that's our truth. Thank you so much for watching.
Gabi, thank you for being my first paid subscriber. I don't take that lightly. And you can reach out to me anytime about anything. I'm here to help and it's my pleasure to do so.
Thank you! No need to worry, you really were great, like you do it every day 🙂
Congratulations Kathleen 👏🏾
Thank you, Jay.
Today I've known Yana for 116 days as I started with her September 7 and became a VIP member September 8.
She has helped me so much with my publication and there's no value that I could put on our friendship and business relationship. It truly is priceless and I feel so blessed to have her in my life.
This is very encouraging to hear, Kathleen. I'm just getting started working with her, so I'm excited to see where things go😄
Jay, you won't be disappointed, I promise you that. Yes be excited...very excited 🥳
Alright. Let's do this! 💪🏾🙌🏾
Just to manage expectations: Kathleen is a VIP member and I work closely with her. This experience is exclusive to VIPs :)
oh, I'm sorry Yana.
I figured everybody was a VIP.
It's a no-brainer... my apologies
But still what you offer for your paid subscribers is fantastic and beyond what others do.
I mean you don't hold back with that either ...but yeah the VIP experience is nothing that comes short of amazing, fantastic and freaking worth every penny.
As I've said before I'd pay you $100 a month and that's not even enough. thank you for making it affordable for everyone... when you look at the price of VIP and divide it by 12 months- people are doing what you're doing by looking at their Substack page, etc. and they're charging $1000-$1400 just to do that .
And I just wanna put this out here so everybody knows... I don't get any special discounts or paid to state the facts here.
All I can speak of is my personal experience with Yana. And I so look forward to working with her in 2025 there's gonna be such growth and the bottom line is she knows how to do Substack - she knows how to Market. She knows exactly what to do and I'm all in.
I see.
