featured simply woman superstar - Kathryn Chavez
By Crystal Andrus Morissette, founder of Simply Woman Magazine + The S.W.A.T. Institute
Our featured Simply Woman Superstar is Kathryn Chavez!
Not only is Kathryn one of the most genuine, kind-hearted souls I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, but she’s also a real success magician – helping women find their voice both physically and spiritually to uncover and reclaim their dreams.
After growing up as the youngest child in a large Catholic family, Kathryn always walked the line of structure and tradition. She described herself as a “good girl” with a steady paycheck, in bed by 9 pm every night. She dutifully followed the rules, never “rocked the boat,” and did everything she could to be perfect, respectable, and please those around her. Having always been a passionate singer, Kathryn became a church cantor at 21 years old and sang at different churches for five years.
Although she was doing everything “right,” she couldn’t help the feeling that her spirit and courage were shrivelling up. She knew there was something bigger out there for her.
That’s when it happened. Kathryn’s boyfriend, who she believed was “the one,” not only left her heartbroken but essentially stole her identity and credit. A few weeks after an argument where she found him scrummaging through her purse, the notices in the mail started coming in, and he was nowhere to be found. She felt hurt and used and describes it as “really making her question her own judgment on everything.”
After spending her life trying her best to please everyone around her and not stand out or shine too brightly, she suddenly realized that she was not living authentically. So, she followed her intuition; she chose herself.
Despite not knowing anyone and being alone, Kathryn made the courageous decision to pack up her little old car and drive across the country to Las Vegas, Nevada.
Although it was absolutely terrifying, it was also exciting. From seedy gigs on the wrong side of town to soon singing a regular spot on the Las Vegas Strip, Kathryn relied purely on her intuition. She was building a relationship with herself that’d she’d never known before.
Today Kathryn is a Certified Empowerment Coach for women, a professional singer, songwriter, and vocal coach, who not only helps women improve their vibrato, but also to truly find their inner voice. She’s been in Las Vegas since 1994 and is married to the man of her dreams, who is also her producer, co-songwriter, and performer. Kathryn is also a Certified Oracle Card Reader and an intuitive who knows first-hand the transformation that can happen when you decide to choose YOU.
