Kate Rindlisbacher is a multifaceted force of resilience, creativity, and empowerment. Founder of Root9 Nonprofit and Inside Out Kick Start, bridging gaps in prevention, intervention, and recovery for survivors of Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Human Trafficking, Suicide, Addiction, and Systemic Failures.

As a seasoned entrepreneur and visionary in the beauty and wellness industries, Kate has carved a dynamic career spanning hair and makeup artistry, fitness training, event production, hospitality and holistic wellness coaching. With a background in psychology, she masterfully intertwines her academic insights with practical strategies for personal development, guiding others to cultivate self-worth and transform their lives from the inside out.

A self-described master of taking big leaps of faith, Kate’s journey is a testament to courage in the face of darkness. A rising ashborn phoenix after her reality shattered in 2021—survivor of child abuse, domestic violence, and systemic failures—she defied the grip of suicidal ideation and patriarchal constraints to rebuild herself anew. Her path, marked by faith crises and battles against “light thieves” (those who dim others’ brilliance), led her to fiercely protect her greatest mission: her children. Breaking generational cycles, she chose to fight not only for her family but for survivors everywhere, using her voice to end the silence around trauma.

Today, Kate champions radical self-belief and empowerment, blending her expertise in entrepreneurship, wellness, and psychology to uplift others. Whether coaching clients through fitness milestones, hosting her podcast "Survivor to Thriver", curating transformative events, or advocating for survivors, she embodies the power of stepping boldly into the light. Her story is a clarion call to reclaim one’s narrative, proving that even the deepest fractures can birth unshakable strength.

Kate lives by a simple mantra:

"Your story isn’t etched in stone—shatter cycles, heal your roots, and let the next generation bloom in soil untouched by the storms you survived.”
