My Story
Embrace Change Radio evolved from an idea that came into being as the result of a speech Kate Olson gave at the Harvard Faculty Club at Harard Univiersity in Cambridge, MA for the National Personal Development Symposium in September 2016. Kate's speech title was "Inspiring the Simple Grace of Embracing Change!" She decided on this title as she, herself, was gappling with making a big change in the way she saw herself and interacted in the world. Kate was dealing with her life long fear of Public Speaking or getting up in front of an audience. She was aware that as a Life Coach and in the interest of expressing the message she hoped to convey, she needed to do this. She tackled the challenge and hoped to do it with some simple grace. This first attempt was impactful and inspired the mission she would carry forward.

Kate Olson and Michelle Hoffman trained for career paths as Life Coach, Hypnotherapist and Reiki Master in 2015 with Bennett Stellar University. The certification class scheduled in Seattle for March, was postponed and Kate decided to go to Sedona, AZ for training, while Michelle had trained in North Carolina. They both graduated from their respective courses and started their coaching businesses. In the summer of 2016, they reattended a training class held in Seattle and met. In early 2017, Michelle reached out to Kate asking for some marketing advice. They met for a few strategy sessions. As they shared perspectives, they found that their outlook on serving clients had many similarities.

On a sunny day in June Kate & Michelle had lunch in Woodinville at Village Wines to catch up and discuss their business ideas. Kate mentioned an email she had recieved nearly a year prior about hosting a radio show and Michelle had an enthusiasm that Kate found contagious and invited her to be a co-host for the show she had decided to do! After some discussions with Cameron Steele of Contact Talk Radio Network, they committed to doing a weekly hour long show. They committed to a six-month contract for the show which started as "Embrace Change with Kate & Michelle". It was Kate's hope and mission to bring quality relevant content to the show and inspire growth, change, curiosity and action, while having some serious fun and, of course, to do it with as much grace and humor as possible. The show did well with Kate's idea, great guests and Michelle's natural ease with speaking and being on the radio and her wonderful enthusiasm! As is sometimes the case, Kate and Michelle realized they had different ideas and purposes in doing the show and decided to go in different directions at the end of six months. Kate was committed to carrying forward with her message of "Embracing Change" and the show's focus on mind, body, spirit wellness. The show is now "Embrace Change with Kate" and the journey to inspire and encourage listeners to "Embrace Change" while tackling the challenges and opportunities of life continues with the same aim of relevant quality content and inspiring guests!
Kate will be always grateful for the experience of working with the beautiful Michelle Hoffman, the special talents and qualities she bought to the show, including her lovely radio voice, enthusiasm and belief in the mission of "Embrace Change" and, of course, who wouldn't love someone who laughs at your jokes! Well wishes go with Michelle in bringing her ideas to life. I know that she will be wildly successful if she brings the same spirit and enthusiasm to whatever she does! Thank you and Good Luck!
Kate is embracing this new opportunity with excitement and hopes to see many changes on her own journey; for the listeners and her clients as they travel together to new and interesting places, experiences and adventures! She will continue to challenge herself with new attitudes and perspectives and hopes that you will too. Embracing change will be at the forefront and mind, body, spirit wellness will continue as our predominant focus. Please tune in and let us know your thoughts!
