Being a 21st Century Entrepreneur

Image
Waking up everyday and not knowing my entire schedule has been my life norm for a little over 15 years. I have prided myself on being an Entrepreneur because my drive has always been to succeed at working for myself and figuring out the best way to do that. By starting out my brand InsideKT as a handle on Instagram I was able to showcase my writing and personal creative talent as well as link my new businesses to my already growing following. I have an immense passion for the screen and acting, but when the covid pandemic halted life I took more to modeling, writing and reeducating myself on how to live life in a different dynamic. While having my own small businesses has yet to bring me financial freedom, I welcome their ability to teach me how to manage my time while allowing me to meet all kinds of people to inspire and motivate along the way. I am working now at making InsideKT a cross platform brand that can carry all I do and hopefully make room for a ton of future events that in...

Fable Boudoir Photoshoot Experience; Fit for a Queen

Image
In life every instance counts. Every experience crafts us into the people we become and each memory made is a mark left on this walk we take. Recently I was fortunate enough to have a photoshoot at Fable Boudoir studios in Woodbridge, ON and I would like to take this oppourtunity to share that experience with you and why I feel it necessary that you plan your own visit.    As a strong, independent female I have always been loud, proud and a bit much for the timid at heart. I am forward enough for all the people who will never carry the backbone to speak up for themselves and I ensure that people know of my presence when I walk into a room. Commanding space is my forte and I absolutely love being in front of the camera. When I was graced with the ability to shoot a boudoir session at Fable Studios, I simply could not say no. The one and only time I shot boudoir before this instance was in my early 20s. It was a collaboration with a girlfriend I worked with and we shot in the ph...

Getting into life; a process.

Getting what you want isn’t always so easy. As a motivated human I often get asked how I come into the things I've often desired or how I am able to not worry about my life or the things my future will bring, regardless of where my life sits. "You're always so happy and not much seems to bother you" is an outside perspective and becoming successful at letting little bother me is a technique that was crafted through personal development and ensuring that I explored my own mind and beliefs. Please understand getting good at what was best for me might not be the answer for you, because nothing comes easy right? Wrong, I've just noticed that after years of these lessons reappearing, I thought it was to speak about them, how we struggle with it and why we should pay attention to implementing simple alterations for a happier life. The main points I've encountered as of late that help me the most are as follows and in no particular order utilized however you see fit....

Precious is This Game of Life

Insane lows, I have them too. The parts of me that screams out within to be lazy, to cease doing the things that make me ME. I know for sure that for everything good there is a bad and that they got it right when they said ying AND yang. Immense highs? We all get those too no? That inner buzz that emanates from fingertips to toes. Usually best induced by natural highs, yet bringing awareness to all the artificial ones too. Do opposites attract? Sure maybe, but there's this never ending piece of me that fights to stay unmotivated. To stay low in this very weirdly framed world we're currently living in and it often make me wonder when the hell the high is gonna kick back in. The life living in freedom. The best part about it is we can chose to blame something, often much easier or we can seek to find the tools we already possess and remember how to kick their ass to the surface to be utlitized. **Insert blame on the pandemic here if you must**  I mean isn't that the easiest s...

To be Magnificent

To be wonderful, magnificent and ever-so-awesomely you is a lifestyle key that few of us have chosen to master. To sit still in yourself unbothered by the world is to observe your light within and to feel that tethered connection between you and whatever put us here. Taking care of oneself is a battle all its own and just to be human is work enough most days. Swatting away the obstacles that fly at us daily and truly being able to maintain happiness is a talent that needs more ample acknowledgement. It is to be confessed however, that there are a bunch of us just whistling by. Working at something and yet at nothing. Driving on the road with attention, yet the destination is set to auto pilot and your place of arrival is death. The motions of the everyday and the routine of 'being normal' is so ridiculously easy that it's difficult, as oxymora as that sounds. To be privileged enough to be born into a world where the water flows as free as purpose, value and opinion is to b...

The Dance Inside

So where to go from here? It’s been shown that the non-essential sticker has been laid and that pivoting is the only option. Where to then ol’ sport? I whisper as distant Leo Dicaprio smiles in my head all Gatsby-like. This is my inner thought process and it is one of a thousand per day. How can I take my life to the next level, move into my own spot and just own the hell out of life? Where does the wanting end and the living begin? I know countless of us battle these thoughts, even if we never admit it aloud. The endless options of what to do, who to be and where to go from here are almost as daunting to me now at 33 as they were at 18. That precious age filled with hormones and so much change, yet society would deem us fit to decide immense life altering options. I today sit without huge debt, assets or children so please apply this filter when I speak of it being daunting. The "thirtysomething curse", so to speak!! (Aka incredibly blessed, in my own right) I’m sure many o...

A Testament to Service

Image
In light of the recent pandemic its become evident that we are all connected. That one small, unseen force can knock on each of our doors and has since up rooted normal life as we know it.  My life decided to 360. The everyday I knew halted and I was eyes wide open to the fact that relying on this semi-comfortable life I was leading, just wasn't going to cut it for lil ol' me. Everything I had worked for getting good at up to this point had now been deemed non-essential. Looking back over my life one of service, hospitality, events, hosting, management, you name it - the works! I realized I had always been standing knee deep in ok. In just doing what it took to get by and never really engaging in my worth. I had the skills and common sense of a highly trained individual and I had been working hard for my money instead of making my money work hard for me. I have since set out to commit to better career and personal goals because I always, always saw my service in the hospitality...
