Hello! I’m Kate Holt.

(And yes you can totally say my name like "Steve Holt" from Arrested Development, people do.)

I'm a writer and worthiness coach for women, a fat foodie, and a modern bombshell in San Francisco. I’m married to the very handsome and talented Dique, and together we have two sons, Desmond and Liam—budding feminists and lovely, loud people. They are My Why. I’m here to help them grow into compassionate humans who use their privilege for good.

I love coffee, gin, swearing, swimming, dancing, and wearing dresses that make me feel like a GD goddess. I was not made to be subtle and at 39 years old and plus-size AF, I accept that as a gift, not a curse. 

I launched a coaching business this summer, after a 15+ year Corp America career where I climbed the ladder from receptionist to head of content marketing. Turns out I hate the corporate hustle and don’t want to spend my life helping another white dude in a corner office get richer. 

The reason why we’re both here is because I’m passionate about empowering women to reclaim their worth so they can go after their most audacious goals.

Whether it’s tied to long-held beliefs around your body and weight, connected to your role as a businesswoman in a patriarchal society, or attached to your identity as a mother, I am here to help you stand in your personal power, as your worthy self.

I get fired up talking to women about their lives and their dreams.

I’m on a mission to make sure women of all shapes and sizes know they’re fucking phenomenal, even though society tells us we’d be better humans if we worked harder, stayed quiet, lost weight, and played small. Fuck that.

I see a future where an army of Fully Embodied Women are reclaiming our worth, owning our power, and demanding to be seen, heard, and valued.

My goal empower and enable women to rise up, be bold, and take decisive action to love ourselves into the life of our dreams.

I know how hard it is. I felt like I needed to play a supporting role for most of my life. First in my family of origin, throughout my school years, in my early relationships, at work in Corporate America, and as a mother, I longed to be seen and heard, but denied myself full visibility and care because my fat body. I made as many waves as I felt were safe, always longing to create oceans.

I would lift the needs of other above my own, always. And while it’s a good thing to be caring, I left myself out of my loving and nurturing care.

My Weight Story is decades long, and I am blasting down Body Blocks daily. I’ve been The Big(ger) Girl my whole life, struggling with body dysmorphia, disordered eating, and low self-esteem.I did every diet in the book, because I thought I had to.I punished myself for not being good enough, thin enough, rich enough, and smart enough.I thought I had to play small and keep my light low, so that I was palatable and appreciated.I didn’t know it was safe to be proud of myself, in a body society told me was wrong.

I didn’t know I didn’t have to buy into Diet Culture.

I didn’t know I could decide to love and accept and care for myself, and that it would change my life.

But it did. In 2017, I found the concept of Intuitive Eating and Healthy at Every Size, the practice of Ho’oponopono, and the book You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero all around the same time.

After after months and months of research and reading anything I could get my hands on about the anti-diet/pro-HAES movement and personal development, writing about my learnings and attending workshops, and so so so much meditation (hundreds of hours of meditation!), I had a my first a-ha. And then another. And then another. And I realized I didn’t need to track points or count calories to be worthy of an amazing life, and I threw out all the diet books, apps, and philosophies.

In 2018, I built a practice of consistent and persistent awareness, forgiveness, acceptance, and intentional, loving care.

My size hasn’t changed in two years, and I haven’t done one damn Diet-Culture thing about it.

You know what has changed?

• Not trying to lose weight and eating intuitively instead stopped 4-year weight increase in its tracks and stabilized my size.

• I became a more honest and open partner and together my husband and I created a better balance (which, for us, meant less resentment and more sex, among other things). Our 11th year of marriage is more open and loving than ever before.

• I became braver and more bold in my body with my children, and take them swimming, to amusement parks, and on other adventurous outings (instead of feeling too fat to have that kind of fun). I still get in the bathtub with my sons, and they love how soft and warm I am.

• I started prioritizing my needs, getting sufficient sleep, food, water, and movement which improved my attitude, confidence, and energy. (Let’s be honest, I’m feeling myself way more these days, too, even though I’m in a bigger body than I was 10 years ago.)

• I show up for myself 100% now. I don’t shy away from opportunities, I let myself be seen and heard. I value my experience and opinion. I lean into my personal brand of beauty and knowledge with confidence, and know I’m unstoppable at any size.

• My brain expanded! Since I’ve stopped counting calories, tracking points, and hating myself because of my weight, I’ve unlocked a creative energy that’s better than it was before having my babies eight years ago! My career took off, and I became compelled to create, share, and be curious about life.

• I learned weight does not equal worth, which made me a better feminist and ally to women who are fatter than me or look different than I do. And, as a dedicated student of the HAES/Intuitive Eating movement, I’m more compassionate and not judgmental, knowing food doesn’t have moral value.

And I’ve never been happier.

Today, I am dedicated to loving the shit out of myself.

I’m practicing forgiveness and acceptance.

I’m treating myself to the same loving care I give so freely to my family and friends.

I’m wading out into the body of water that is joy, and I’m accepting and loving my body for all its wiggles and jiggles, for all of its strong and squishy bits.

I feel free. I feel true. I am a fully embodied woman, and I’m so glad you’ve found me.

Which brings us back to my business: I’ve put all my learnings into systems and gathered up my favorite tools to create the Fully Embodied Formula. This formula helps women figure out their worthiness stories, build the fabulous life of their dreams, and fearlessly step out as their Fully Embodied selves. (Psssst! Learn all about it at my free webinar this weekend!) My goal is to help you go from woefully stuck and fucked to fearlessly free and fabulous as soon as possible. Because you are worthy. And you deserve existing in a place of peace—and even joy—with yourself.

I am here to be your self-worth wing-woman, your confidence confidante. We’re going to fuck some shit up for the better, I promise.

I’m so glad you found me, and I can’t wait to get to know you.

Ready to take your personal magic and crank it way the fuck up!? Good.
