I’ve has considered myself an author and artist from day one.

A born creative, I happily played with all mediums, learning to express myself and what I was experiencing in the world. I filled dozens of journals with poetry, big dreams, heartbreak and positive self talk.

A born entrepreneur, I made and sold friendship bracelets and pet rocks in elementary school, and sewed one-of-a-kind bags and purses for extra cash in college. Today I’m a life, career and business coach, celebrating six years as KaptivateMe.

This collection of hand-stamped charms is the culmination of my passions, with a message for everyone to remember and live by: “My potential is calling and I must grow!”

Over the years as I’ve checked in with current and “graduated” coaching clients they tell me time and time again something along the lines of, “when I felt myself starting to spiral, when I heard the negative self talk start - I paused and asked myself, ‘what would Coach Kate say?’ I was able to find myself again, remember that I matter, and that I already have everything I need inside of me. I took a few moments to breathe and figure out how to do things my way, and then I did it! I feel stronger and more like myself than ever before.”

These charms are for those heart-pounding moments when the inner critic arises - and for every self-loving, big dreaming, courageous moment in-between. 

Handmade by me, Kate, these tokens bear our go-to affirmation as a reminder of your value, gifts and dreams, and how powerful you are in creating a life you love.

May these charms - bracelets for now with money clips, key chains and more coming soon - be your reminder to pause and breathe, cultivating a mindfulness practice in your everyday life.

For KaptivateMe clients, may they serve as a celebration of how much you’ve already grown and the satisfACTION you continually take - even when it’s scary.

Introducing the KaptivateMe Mantra Cuff

Made for Mindfulness

That moment hits. Your heart and mind start racing. Fear. Anger. Sadness. Overwhelm. Anticipation. Love. Excitement.

A change or challenge is near, and whether you desire it or not, your brain is flooding your body with chemicals to put you on high alert.

Your own unique blend of fight, flight, freeze or appease is kicking in, bringing the Inner Critic with it.

A “downward spiral” of emotions and (dis)action could be next.

But you know what to do.

• Breathe, just notice your breath as you start the grounding process.

• Gently run your fingers along the charm and gaze at its message, bringing attention to your sense of touch and sight.

• One by one, honor all of your senses and emotions without judgment - smell, taste, sound, touch, sight, and connect with your intuition - returning your mind to your body and this moment.

• Reflect on your values and your big dreams - those people, principles and ways of life you hold most dear.

• Look to your strengths and brainstorm one teeny tiny step you can take right now.

• Take three cleansing breaths, with a deep inhale through your nose and big audible sigh exhale out your mouth, repeating to yourself with each breath:

  • “(inhale) My Potential is Calling (exhale) And I Must Grow”

• Return to your natural breath, and go take that small step!
