Kat Tansey began work on the Hero's Journey in 2015 when she came to the realization that she had been writing and teaching about it for all these years, telling stories and creating courses to help people succeed in a variety of Hero's Journeys.
But she had not actually taught them about the Hero's Journey itself.
Kat saw that this was a bit like the give a man a fish story. She had been giving them a fish instead of teaching them how to fish.
It was time to teach them about the Hero's Journey.
Kat’s first step for this latest version of Awakening Your Hero's Journey has been to make it a guided online course and connect it to a Discussion Center where people can join a group for each stage of the journey and learn from each other's experiences in that stage.
Awakening to Your Hero's Journey is now also part of her new, bigger vision, The Resilient Hero Program.
Valeria interviews Kat Tansey.
Kat is an award-winning author and innovative educator who believes in the power of a well-told tale to teach while it entertains.
An inspirational teacher, Kat spent her early career training thousands of people and consulting with over fifty corporations to help them meet the challenges of change. Her first book, written as a novel, was Winning the Change Game. The book reflected on the lessons Kat learned from twenty years in the corporate world as a training and change management consultant, and featured Alexander Hamilton, who was instrumental in the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, as the change guru.
Kat’s second book, Choosing to Be: Lessons in Living from a Feline Zen Master, is the story of her journey from deep depression to emotional wellness after she was struck down by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the early 90’s. Choosing to Be has been awarded the Independent Publisher’s Bronze Medal, and has been highly praised by people like Thom Hartmann, distinguished radio commentator and lifelong meditator, who said it is one of the best books on meditation he has ever read. The illustrious Findhorn Press in Scotland picked up the rights to Choosing to Be and released a new, 2nd edition in September 2010.
Kat spent much of 2009 researching insomnia to resolve her own sleep issues, and then created an ebook titled: Insomnia Relief Recipes to educate people with insomnia issues about the science of sleep and teach them how to become confident sleepers without using drugs.
Empowering and promoting women has always been a significant part of Kat’s journey, and she focuses that passion toward collecting the wisdom of midlife women.
Her weekly talk show, Finding Magic in Midlife, allows her to interview and discuss in-depth, lessons learned from a wide variety of accomplished and well-known midlife women. Kat is building an archive of these interviews and plans to develop a series of programs to pass this wisdom on to current and future generations of women.
In early 2010, Kat collaborated with her good friend Dave Carpenter to produce the highly praised e-book, Prospering in 2010. They have also created an exciting subscription series of webinars, Prospering in 2010: Embracing Change to Accelerate Success, which people can join any time during the year.
Kat has a BA in English from Mary Washington College in Virginia and an MBA from Pepperdine University in California. She lives in Ojai, California with her partner, Greg, and enjoys taking long walks where she develops dialogues for her next book.
