After a broken engagement, losing her brother, and a 10 year battle with chronic illness, Katie DePaola has finally found her glow. In 2015, Katie opened the doors to Inner Glow Circle, a coach training and personal branding company for women. Within months, her youngest brother died of an accidental overdose.

This monumental lose set off a domino effect of changes and challenges, but through it Katie learned to survive by doubling down on her commitment to her vision. Even on the most ill or grief stricken days, her power lies in her purpose.

Now, Katie teaches others how to make their hardest life experiences their greatest opportunities through the principles of Post Traumatic Growth (PTG). PTG is the subject of a growing field of research into the healing that may be accessed when we choose to grow from our trauma and lose.
