In a disconnected, fragmented world where devices, news and constant overwhelm can take over, I created Speaking to What Matters CIRCLES to pause, reflect and invite a meaningful and deeper connection with yourself and others.
Speaking to What Matters Circles
Not your ordinary workshop—this is a space for truth-telling, reflection, and connection.
Speaking to What Matters Circles are intimate, interactive gatherings that guide you into deeper self-awareness through the power of personal storytelling. You'll walk away with a storytelling toolkit to help you:
Know yourself more deeply
Strengthen the relationships that matter most
Spark meaningful change—in your life and in others
Rooted in honesty, curiosity, and shared experience, these circles are perfect for book clubs, milestone events, team retreats, and women’s groups seeking something deeper.
Come as you are. Leave more connected—to yourself and your story.
Mother–Daughter Circles
A space to be seen, heard, and held—together.
These circles are designed for mothers and daughters who want to deepen their connection, speak honestly, and share what’s on their hearts. Through storytelling, reflective writing, and gentle conversation, we’ll create a space where both voices matter—equally.
Whether you're navigating a transition, healing old patterns, or simply longing for more presence with each other, these gatherings offer a rare and sacred opportunity to slow down, listen deeply, and grow closer.
Each circle is lovingly facilitated to feel safe, spacious, and real. Come as you are.
Whether your goal is to become a more confident and authentic speaker, writer, leader, entrepreneur, job-finder, partner, parent or colleague, knowing how to share your story will help you not only connect to others – but also – to yourself.
Thank you to Katherine for creating a work that generates such bold authenticity, vulnerability, and togetherness...and for making the time to create a way to share it, and the magic it generates, with each other.

In the age of AI, David Brooks encouraged us all to 'major in being human'. Katherine Kennedy's book, "Speaking to What Matters," vividly illustrates just how to do that. Her beautiful book not only shares her personal story, compels us to be willing to share our stories, it even provides a formula to facilitate the process.
Beyond the captivating content of the book, Katherine also orchestrates 'Circles.’ Katherine adeptly guides deep discussions, infusing them with warmth and laughter, too. If you have the opportunity to work with her, you'll feel more human having shared your story. - Karyn F. D.
One of Katherine's many strengths is encouraging the "shares" - creating a supportive environment and level of trust (even among people who have just met). Honesty is met with support, humility and understanding.
