Who are you?
YOU are uniquely savvy. You are worthy…and so am I!
…It is 6:43am Sunday morning 10.14.18, and this question had been swirling incessantly in my mind for the last couple of months – specifically over the last week. This morning I woke around 5am and knew I was ready to answer this question.
That said, as I was waiting for my coffee I opened a book that has been sitting on our counter for the last two weeks. It opened to page eleven.
On page eleven of “Life’s Journey’s According to Mister Rogers” the question in bold print is, “Who are you right now?”
It is time. This is my emerged truth as much has shifted…
With all that’s been shifting in culture, in business, and in life…and as I have stayed consciously connected to the world and social issues around me, and have #challenged my own belief system…I am not who I was even at the start of January 2018. At the cellular level I have changed, and the core of me knew I had to get clear about who I am “right now” because the answer to that question dictates my behavior, my choices, my authentic identity and confidence – and ability to effectively lead – or not. (10.16.18 Just today I was tested on my answer – who am I “really”. Funny how that happens, I knew today I would be posting this blog – even shared this “Two things define us…” meme at the beginning of the day. #NoCoincidences. Will update with the story later.)
The transformed truth about Kim Peterson:
Much of who I am as a professional is informed not just by my professional education and experiences, but my personal adversities and triumphs as well.
I started my image consultancy while homeless coming out of a domestic violence marriage 18 years ago. I blessed to say I’m an #overcomer and a survivor of sexual assault, dv, poverty, and a very fragmented identity (and all the challenges that come with it) that almost took my life in my teens and early 20s.
The wondrous news?
My story has been redeemed, and today I believe I’m imperfectly perfectly who I am for such a time as this…
Through years of restorative therapy and life coaching, I am mostly healed, love and accept myself, and believe…my experiences have uniquely shaped me for the holistic work I now do so that others can experience new levels of freedom, fulfillment, and peace – both in business and in life.
I am a Champion of the people, leaders, and emerging leaders who want to step more fully into their purpose and potential – on the inside and out.
A speaker, author, trainer…transformational coach…stylist and personal brand identity consultant, the body of my work intersects at confidence building, leadership, authentic identity, and personal effectiveness -and spans across (4) platforms:

This year I was honored to be named one of 425 Magazine’s 2018 Women to Watch, and candidly the tears rolled when their raw and honest article said my life was an emblem of freedom, hope, and love.
I’m so grateful for all who have paused to invest in me. One step-at-a-time I’ve created a new vision of success for my life…and that’s what I hope for you!
