Kathryn is the mom of six - college to kindergarten - wife to one amazing man and an author and speaker. As a sixth-generation Texan, her twang is legit. You can get your daily dose via Instagram Stories. Kathryn's days are filled with carpool, sports, 4-H, 5am workouts, procrastinating meal planning and a decent amount of late nights (thanks Netflix and teenagers).
Her award-winning book, Live Big, Love Bigger, is on bookshelves and Audible! Kathryn's good friend and SiriusXM radio host of The Busted Halo Show, Fr. Dave Dwyer, CSP, wrote the foreword. If you're struggling to live authentically and want to live a 'hell yes' kind of life, then this book is for you.
Kathryn Whitaker has hosted 20 Episodes.
