In this episode, we talked with Kathleen Davenport, a professional photographer, certified life coach, motivational speaker, personal development trainer, avid golfer, and retired Air Force officer.

Kathy was also recognized as one of the 100 most influential Filipino women in the USA blending her unique skill set and her own transformations, to now help people over 50 look at life differently and confidently start a new chapter.

We spoke about:

How the military wasn’t her first choice growing up

• What did joining the military have to do with Disney promise
• How she was told not to expect to get far – because of three strikes against her
• Her attitude to always do the best you can (and graduated at the top of her class)
• Teaching Elite fighter pilots of the US Air Force
• Her amazing mentor who took her under his wings
• How her marriage to a high school sweetheart ended with divorce and she was left with 2 little girls on her own
• How her doctor told her unless she handles her enormous stress, her kids may be soon motherless 
• How she finally asked for support at work
• How she was reassigned back to Hawaii
• How she lost her second husband just around Thanksgiving
• How she met a gentleman named Jack Canfield and how that profound experience shaped her life going forward
• The life-threatening diagnosis taught her another valuable lesson about reframing
• What helps her to stay positive
• How her analytic mind trained in the military serves her now, solving her client’s life puzzles
• How shifting narratives can be one of the most important tools to help you move forward
• What can we learn from flying the airplane about life
• How it’s never too late to do that thing you’re meant to do!
  
  Kathleen’s quotes:
  
  If there is that sense that you want things to change, then I truly believe that there is the ability to ignite that little flame inside of anyone!
  
  When you feel you’re at a crossroads, trust your intuition!
