Hi Beautiful Soul, I'm Kate Mantello
Like all healing journeys, mine started with a sudden Shift...
It was 2006. I was working a sales desk job (which I hated!) and an unexpected spine injury and subsequent surgery forced me to quit and seek out a fulfilling new path of energetic healing and personal development. I didn't know how I was going to make it happen, but I KNEW I would create a beautiful and enriching life on my own terms. No more desks. No more bosses. No more hourly pay rates. I craved the freedom to live life my own way and contribute to a better world!
Keeping the faith....
Not long after, while facing unemployment, financial scarcity, physical limitation and no idea how I was going to create the life I craved, a past life regression led to me manifesting a free, first-class ticket to the Middle East. It was there that I met Rob, my future partner.
Rob and I shared 16 years and 2 awesome kids together. During this time I really stepped into my alpha masculine power! I built a global healing business with over 30,000 students (turning over $500k per year), bought my dream house, became an international author and a $700 per hour holistic business coach. Life was good.
Death & new beginnings...
But in 2024 it all came crashing down when my relationship suddenly and painfully ended, plunging me into my deepest dark-night-of-the-soul. It was around the same time that my business collapsed (due to my burnout) and my beautiful Dad died. Within 6 months I lost my life-partner, my Dad, my business, my home and my family unit. I was at rock-bottom and stripped of everything that had given me identity.
The beautiful thing about having your whole world collapse is that you get to rebuild it brick-by-intentional-brick on stronger, more aligned foundations. You get to become the conscious architect of your own reality and a whole landscape of new possibilities opens up. After all, there cannot be death without birth.
I dove deeply into my oldest trauma wounds and shed layer after layer of shame, grief and fear. I cried a lot. Became very humbled and beautifully broken. I opened my heart and surrendered to the shifting energies of spirit, releasing control. It was a cleansing by fire.
Now, in 2025, I love living on my own and I am rebuilding my online business with more heart, integrity and gratitude than ever before. I have a new love, an amazing tribe and am SO proud of my two incredible kids. They are my greatest teachers.
Stepping back from my full-time online business to work hands-on with people with disabilities has been one of the most healing and soul-nourishing things I've ever done. I have been reminded of who I was born to be, and I feel softer, more open and authentic than ever. I am SO excited about the future!
So, Beautiful Soul... when your world collapses and things suddenly go dark, remember that even stars need darkness for their light to be seen. Your light will shine through too.
