A NEW WAY OF SHARING: Welcome To "The Reset"
Hey, pal. I'm Kate. I’m a registered nurse with a doctorate degree in integrative health & I'm here to make "wellness" feel SIMPLE and realistic for busy people (...just like you, *wink*)
Hi, friend. It is *sincerely* so lovely to have you here.
Welcome to “The Reset”:
This digital newsletter will cover alllll things self-care, nutrition, holistic health, and intentional living—
but in a down-to-earth & grounded & realistic kinda way, ya know? ;)
because, while I do have all the #credentials, I like to have FUN. you can expect terrible puns, some typos (okay, okay, maybe a lot of typos...), *relatable* health guidance, and just general #humanness. Perfection is not something I’m interested in promoting (or portraying).
This is wellness— but real-life-approved.
*pinkie promise*
If you are ready for tangible insights on all things wellness, mindset, simplicity, whole food recipes, & holistic self-care— you’re in the right place.
there’s a lot of “wellness” platforms out there (… and here’s what sets me apart, *wink*)
Hi, friend. I’m Kate.
(Fun fact: my full name is actually just Kate. not Katie. Or Katherine. or Kaitlin. Just short 'n' sweet Kate.✌🏼)
Okay, back to the point—
while there is a LOT of health information out there, here’s what sets me apart:
Simply put: I have credentials in this. I’m trained in this.
I am a registered nurse, board-certified health coach, & have my doctorate degree (DNP) specialized in integrative health. While I FIRMLY believe in starting with lifestyle changes, natural remedies, & preventative approaches to health, I *also* respect modern medicine & science.
(AKA: I am NOT one of those reckless “all or nothing” wellness influencers that tells you essential oils will solve allllllll of your problems… but I’m *also* not going to tell you that taking a pill will instantly solve all your problems either💁🏻♀️)I live in the grey area of wellness that balances and respects both “sides” of wellness, and am passionate about SIMPLIFYING “healthy living” in a way that feels both easy-to-understand and realistic for busy people (just like you, *wink*).
Over the last 4+ years, I have built up my online platform, The Foundation Blog where I dig into all things science-backed wellness, intentional living, & holistic self-care.
And while the blog has been (and will continue to be) a great place to build my platform and business, Substack is where I intend to really invest my time, energy, and focus! I’m in this for the lonnnnng game, hunnay!
The blog is great. But substack is where my heart (and work) will truly shine.
what can you expect from this substack?
After creating FREE content on my blog & instagram for the past 4+ years….
I was feeling the calling for MORE. A way to monetize for my voice, education, and expertise AND be able to create freely. honestly. (in a way that didn’t involve chasing the ever-changing algorithm or pressure to take #sponsored posts)
In my soul, I was craving a *different* way of sharing.
Should I start a youtube? A podcast? Tiktok? A patreon?
I considered all of these things seriously…
But none of them felt ~right~
….and then I found substack ;)
Substack is a unicorn, god-send, holy-crap-this-is-the-perfect-platform-for-me opportunity.
Because it allows me to create *freely* in a variety of ways. Solely for the people who truly want it.
This platform will be all The Foundation Blog look + feel you’ve come to know from me, but more concentrated, more direct, more purposeful, more intimate, and away from the white noise of social media.
and so. much. more. versatile.
I can share audio files— podcast style! I can share videos— youtube style! I can share personal reflections, essays, and writings— without being limited by a caption character limit. I can curate recipes, host virtual book clubs, create community by engaging in forums & discussions— eee!
and monetize MY voice. MY knowledge. MY education. MY writing.
in a way that feels AUTHENTIC and ethical and *right* to me.
Insert: The Reset.

what you get as a paid subscriber:
3 INTENTIONAL (AND ADDITIONAL) NEWSLETTERS PER MONTH: where i will health, self-care, and lifestyle topics.
HOLISTIC (AND REALISTIC) HEALTH TOPICS: This. This is my training. my passion. my expertise. As a registered nurse with my doctorate in integrative health, I will be sharing evidence-backed holistic remedies that feel REALISTIC to implement (even into a busy life).
NOURISHING RECIPES: Ooooooh, GET READY. This will be my primary place of sharing delicious *and* nourishing recipes to keep you fueled! (Pssssst: I am known for my EASY recipes. AKA no 90584039845-ingredients meals with exotic herbs here)
MINI “HEALTH COACHING” CALLS: These will be bite-size videos (5-15 minutes) where I give a motivational pep talk on an area of wellness. These will be topics I frequently cover with my health coaching clients and address common barriers, mental blocks, and opportunities for improving health.
COMMUNITY! Oooooh, I am so excited for this. Paid subscribers will also have access to group discussions, meet-ups, and conversation. t. This is a place where like-minded women can connect with one another and talk about whatever their hearts’ desire. I am even thinking of holding a little virtual book club?!? The options are limitless.
PERSONAL AUDIO REFLECTIONS & GUIDED MEDITATIONS: Every so often, I will record audio tracks (think: podcast style) where I recap a topic, a life stage, maybe a meditation, a lesson…. Again, the options are limitless
BONUS ACCESS TO SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS & JOURNAL PROMPTS: Every so often, I will sprinkle in my fav song of the moment, my peresonal spotify playlists, and intentional writing proimpts inviting your to dig deeper, live with intention, and clarify your purpose.
PERSONAL Q+As WITH ME: where you can ask me ANYTHING and I will answer it in either written, audio, or video format. I am definitely feeling the desire to be more personal on this platform— as it won’t have as many “wandering eyes” as the social media world. The beauty of this subscription platform is that is much more likely to be filled only with people who WANT to be here and WANT to support me, and that makes me excited to peel back the curtain a bit more :)
FOREVER ACCESS: Also, don’t worry if you’re joining “late”. Paid subscribers will be able to access every hidden I’ve ever written. So, don’t fret if you miss a post or sign up for a membership after launch.

Can’t afford The Reset right now? Just want to wait ‘n’ see if it’s a good fit? No sweat! Accessibility is important to me.
While I’D LOVE to have you as a paid subscriber, by signing up for the free subscription, you will start receiving my monthly “normal” (non-substack) email newsletter!
