  • Her evolution of wanting to be a writer and sharing her story to now helping other relocate

  • How Katie deals with the negative comments once her blog was opened up to a larger audience
  • Why Katie feels it’s important to write in her authentic voice
  • How putting her blog into a book can serve her audience
  • Why Katie focuses on the social media platform that works best with her style and her audience
  • The importance of sharing with your followers what has worked and what hasn’t worked in your journey
  • Katie’s advice to a new blogger just starting out
  • The importance of showing up consistently and with authenticity
  • How her relocation consultancy was born after one email asking for help
  • How you don’t have to have all the answers, but a willingness to find the answers
  • How Katie finds the confidence within herself to keep moving forward when she feels overwhelmed
