The scariest place is right at the edge before taking a life leap.

You want to do something different 

be something different, 

or live and work differently.

But taking that first step into the unknown can be scary.

Despite the discomfort of our old lives, they’re familiar. We know what to expect. Even if those past shells no longer fit, we cling to them because we’re afraid of what’s on the other side.

It takes courage to leap toward our dreams.

I know, because I’ve been there.

I’m Kate Lino. And I help women in the prime of their lives (40+) make courageous leaps toward their wildest dreams.

I’ve taken some scary leaps of my own.

I’ve changed careers more than once. 

I’ve been married, and I’ve leapt into the unknown after my marriage ended as a single divorced mom. 

I’ve lived in another country where I didn’t know the language.

I’ve experienced great love — and great loss. 

I’ve worked for one of the largest health nonprofits in the nation, where my long-term career was secure, but I knew I needed to take the leap and leave it for something different. 

If you’re uncertain about your future,

feeling stuck in a rut,

worried what might happen if you don’t leap …

and what might happen if you do,

Congratulations! You’re in the right place.

Making a courageous leap may not be a massive jump. It may be a smaller step you’re struggling to take. I work with women 40+ who dream of:

• Switching jobs or careers

• Starting their own business

• Growing their business

• Relocating

• Learning a new skill or going back to school

• And every dream in-between

Uncover Your Dreams

If you know you want something different, but aren’t sure what “it” is, we’ll work together to uncover your dreams. Many times that means getting quiet enough to listen to that little voice (your intuition). I’ll teach you tools to help you tune in.

Small Steps, Big Leaps

Anytime we’re trying to do something different, our bodies kick in to protect us: DANGER, DANGER! That ongoing response can really hold us back. Together we’ll work on ways to embrace your fear and regulate your nervous system so we can then make plans for your future from a calm, relaxed state.

Embrace Your Fear

It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you look at where you are currently and where you want to be. That leap can seem impossible. Together we’ll reverse-engineer your leap and create smaller hops to get you to your dreams. Along with a plan, we’ll work on trust, release and patience.

My Journey

Five years ago, I took a huge life leap and left the security of a mid-management job at a legacy national nonprofit to start my own consulting business.

As a single mom to a then-11-year-old, I was overwhelmed with fear. My family did not support my decision to leave a stable nearly 10-year career, which further added to my indecision.

I’d been thinking about starting my own business for FIVE YEARS. The whisper eventually became a scream, and I couldn’t ignore it any more.

So I hired a coach. Together over the next four months, we worked out my escape plan. And she helped me grow my faith muscle so I could take my own courageous leap.

Since then I’ve worked with a number of coaches to help me grow my business, work on my money mindset and teach me invaluable marketing skills.

The decision to hire my first coach is one of the best and most significant life choices I’ve ever made.

I want the same for you.
