Welcome to Salt Water & Soul Fire!

Hello, radiant souls! I'm Katie, and I'm overjoyed to welcome you to Salt Water & Soul Fire—a sanctuary curated especially for women dedicated to coming alive in the second half of life.


It is my hope that this platform is a beacon of light for those of us on the edge of 50, where the rhythm of the waves meets the warmth of the soul. It's a space where we celebrate the wisdom, strength, and beauty that come with age, embracing every wrinkle and scar as a testament to our resilience and growth.

I turned 49 this year, and as I approach 50 I find myself full of reflection. The first half of my life has been a ride, to say the least.

I’ve been married and divorced. Engaged and walked out on. Left alone with 4 kids, no job, and shut off notices from the utility companies. There was a time when I was a millionaire and also a time when I was on welfare and food stamps. I’ve traveled first class, visited 5 of the 7 seven continents, and been homeless with my children - twice.

While I was born into privilege and have never known life without it, I have also struggled and suffered, failed and fought, cried and cursed at life. And through it all, I’ve begun to figure out how to find calm within the storm, and live my life joyfully on my own terms.


Welcome to Salt Water & Soul Fire—where the ocean meets the flame, and women in the second half of life truly come alive.


My journey has been shaped by my deep connection to the ocean and the beach—a source of solace and inspiration that anchors me in times of uncertainty. There's something magical about the salty air and the soothing sound of crashing waves that stirs the soul and ignites the spirit.


Today, I am dedicated to supporting women as they embark on their own journey. I believe in the transformative power of self-discovery and personal development. Whether you're reinventing yourself, pursuing a long-held dream, or simply seeking connection and inspiration, I'm here to champion your journey every step of the way.

Salt Water & Soul Fire is more than just a website—it's a lifeline, a sisterhood, and a source of boundless inspiration. From embarrassingly honest blog posts and empowering workshops to revitalizing retreats and online courses designed to fuel your inner fire, you’ll find something here to nourish you - mind, body, and spirit.

So, my dear sisters, I invite you to join me on this sacred journey of self-love, empowerment, and rediscovery. Together, we'll dive into the depths of our souls, bask in the warmth of our shared wisdom, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more radiant than ever before.
