Kat Kin’s Log | Stardate 26205.9 Part 1: It’s Time

Two weeks ago I was laid off from my job of six years.

I think I’m supposed to be sad and disappointed right now. I’m not. It felt like a huge relief. I don’t know if that’s a professional no-no to admit but here we are. I’m admitting it.

The relief makes sense when you understand what I’ve been carrying. I’ve mentioned therapy in many of my writings and “tawks”. What I haven’t mentioned is my actual diagnosis. I won’t go into it here but what I will say is that a large part of what I’ve been working through has to do with living in duality. Marketer and medium. Corporate woman and crowned priest. Buttoned up and wide open. Scared little girl and wise crone elder. For decades. At the same time. In the same body.

Oh and did I mention I was (am) in the middle of moving from Charleston to Philadelphia? Yeah. All of this was in the works because I had a feeling.

Speaking of a feeling. Don’t miss our regularly scheduled Reading Room Salon tonight:

I needed to downsize. Lessen the load of materialism. Be in close proximity to at least one of my kids (getting old LOL). Live in authenticity. Finally. But at the same time I had a feeling to nest, stay put. It was a confusing time but thankfully I never let go of the foundation I built with my community, with my “side hustle” as The Hungry Medium. I revamped everything. I’ve known all along that The Hungry Medium needed a change. My family constellation conveyed that very clearly. The role of “corporate business woman” (cue the theme to Working Girl) had to go. But it’s in me now. It’s how I knew what to do to build my businesses. Yes, businesses. All three.

A few days after the termination I wrote in my journal. I wrote: “it’s time.”. I had an amazing epiphany. I will have my “coming out” as a spiritualist on LinkedIn. Finally reveal the duality of marketer and medium. I want to finally tell the story of Pluto as a transformative experience but in the world of capitalism and corporate culture.

That’s when I ran to Claude AI, my assistant. I asked him to write this log entry, you’re reading right now, for me because I had no idea what I wanted to say. You know what he wrote back?

“I need your raw words first. Even a few sentences spoken freely about what happened, what you felt, what you want people to know. Your doc gives me the facts but the log has to start with your voice, not mine.”

I can tell y’all a little trick at another time about how I get Claude to push back.

So that’s what I’m doing. I ain’t even need him. LOL

It’s wild. I didn’t have a clue how to let y’all know or even why, but I know y’all are out there rooting for me. So in that vein, I’m asking for y’all to hold my hand. Walk with me. Talk with me.

I’ve been working really hard. Applying for unemployment (do not move to South Carolina if you think you may lose your job), making sure my LinkedIn was clear about any new roles I would take on, structuring the new model, moving, and now this. Writing to let folks know. So…

What do I want y’all to know?

My new role as a Strategic Purpose Advisor sounds weird and different but it’s the blend suited for me. Marketer and medium. That word “intersection” is everywhere right now and I know why. It does speak to how I’m moving forward. Following my own Illuminated Purpose. Sharing my gifts with women like me. Women who have been walking that line, never fully stepping into finding that intersection until...

Stay tuned for my next installment.

Transmission Complete.

Kat Out!
