Hi, I'm Kate, AKA boy mum ministry wife Aussie entrepreneur home chef beach lover warm weather chaser
This picture tells such a story of this season of life; I’m a bit of a fish out of water. Born and bred on the sunny Gold Coast of Australia, now living in the green, leafy (and sometimes absurdly cold and snowy) suburbs of Philadelphia. We moved our family here almost 5 years ago now. With three boys aged 3, 5 and 6. In 10 suitcases. To a house we bought on the internet. With no family around. It’s been a growing experience, let me tell you. And, while I could have happily grown old at my fave beach on the Goldy, I’m so grateful that God called us out. And, it was totally a God thing cause my feet were firmly planted in the sand.
**Life update: we got out of dodge (aka we moved back to the beach…but not to Australia unfortunately). A beach girl can only survive so long after all. We are currently getting acquainted with our new local area, Wilmington, NC. More to come soon.
And you...(I'm guessing) are high achieving hard on yourself independent wondering what's next full of ideas busy stressed over committed
Before you go looking over your shoulder, wondering if I’ve mastered telepathy, I assure you I haven’t. The reason I know you is because I was you. I’ve been there. I’ve felt those feels. I’ve waded through the vast wasteland of “potential”. I’ve tried a lot of the quick fixes being sold to me. I have thought and over thought about my dreams and imagined achieving them. But the gap between here and there seems waaayy bigger than they tell you.
Or at least it does without a sounding board. Without direction. Without a plan. Without someone who sees you and hears you and believes in you (and maybe gives you that kick up the bum when you need it ;-).
Because enough is enough. The future is waiting and the time is now to make your move and be that proactive doer, that confident decision maker you know you can be.
The Evolution of QTQF
I founded QTQF back in May, 2013. I was home with my two babies; one 16 months old and the second only a few weeks old. It was a tough season and I needed an outlet that apparently only mommy blogging could fill. I loved that season! It morphed into a lot of paid writing gigs and a third baby and somehow in the busyness I looked straight past a renewal email for my website host and ended up losing 2 years of content. It was so sad 😭😭.
Three boys in under 4 years, plus working from home found me spiralling in quick fixes despite knowing better. I was introduced to essential oils and a community that had a similar vision for being proactive and being an advocate for REAL. I know the oily thing is cringe but I don’t regret it. I still love using oils and ALL the natural things.
Throughout the early iterations of my business I was sought out for copywriting, graphic design, web design and business strategy advice. QTQF has evolved over the past 11 years into what it is today with coaching and consulting being at the forefront of what I offer.
Small businesses and female entrepreneurs seek me out to work on launches and branding projects as well as business and life strategy coaching.
