We chatted with Carolina today about her experience and so much more!

Carolina's life work revolves around health and wellness-- but in this riveting talk her focus is on the health of something much bigger: Our society. Specifically, she's here to tell us about the very real dangers and effects from normalizing violence-- what signs we should be on the lookout for, as well as revealing the perfect antidote. 

Born and raised in Mexico, Carolina has lived through more things that most of us in suburban Canada could ever imagine. Her story is one not to be missed!

We chatted with Kim today all about her experience and so much more!
Kim is an International Best-Selling Author, Award Winning Speaker, The Extraordinary Word Ninja and Chief Visionary Officer, RTI Publishing.

Have you ever looked at a blank computer screen in frustration because the words won’t come because you are afraid it won’t sound right? Or worse, that it won’t be received well?

Kim spent many years feeling that way after a teacher told Kim that she was, “No good at writing and should stop.” Discouraged, Kim put writing aside. Then, she came to a crossroads in her life and let those painful words go. She set her words free and let her voice to be heard once more. Since then, she has gone on to author five books (with three more on the way this year), two planners and even a collection of Sudoku books. 

Most importantly, Kim started RTI Publishing and has helped over one hundred entrepreneurs to become authors and taught them how to use their books to become authorities in their niche and open doors to build their business faster.
