In this episode of Conversations with Kate, I sit down with Nikolai Bordokoff—producer, DJ, and record label owner—to explore the rhythm of a life shaped by creativity.

Having traveled the world through music and rooted in Southern California, Nikolai shares how creativity has guided his path, both in his career and in his role as a father. We talk about what it means to stay inspired, the discipline behind creative work, and how passion can evolve alongside life’s responsibilities.

This conversation is a reflection on living creatively, staying true to your passions, and finding balance between ambition and presence.

In this vulnerable episode of Conversations with Kate, I’m sharing my journey of stepping out of the spiritual closet — from quietly hearing intuitive nudges to fully embracing my path offering intuitive readings and energy work.

This is a conversation about trust, fear, and the courage to be seen. About what it feels like to question yourself, to hide parts of who you are… and what happens when you finally stop.

If you’ve ever felt a pull you couldn’t explain, this episode is an invitation to listen a little closer.

There’s something sacred about leaving what’s familiar.

In this episode of Conversations with Kate, I’m reflecting on my love of travel — not just the destinations, but the becoming that happens along the way. Travel has a way of stretching us, humbling us, reconnecting us to wonder, and reminding us how beautifully vast the world truly is.From the anticipation of packing a suitcase to the quiet clarity that often comes on a plane ride home, I’m sharing how travel has shaped my perspective, deepened my gratitude, and invited me to see both the world — and myself — differently.

In this deeply personal episode of Conversations with Kate, I open up about a season that forever changed my life—losing eight people in a matter of months, including my mother and brother. Rather than focusing solely on the pain, this conversation centers on what grief unexpectedly taught me grace: grace for myself, grace for others, and grace in the moments where life is imperfect.
