One of the MOST difficult and most HEALING things a human being can do is to speak about their own “secrets.” Have we ALL grown up believing that we are the only ones who have them and that revealing these truths will destroy us? Just about everyone I know would answer “Yes” to that question. The irony is that it is those who do tell the truth, then seek help, healing and a “maskless” life going forward, are truly the ones released from those demon secrets.

She is also a Teacher, and State Trainer with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, a thought leader on the topic of mental health and a featured speaker at conferences and healthcare organizations.

Using her proprietary methodology, she teaches leaders, "The 4 Pillars of Creating and Sustaining a Mentally Healthy Workplace Culture." As a top-performing corporate professional, Kim feared that speaking openly about her own mental illness and alcohol misuse would tarnish her professional career. She stayed silent because of this.
