“Working with Kathy transformed my mindset and my business — I went from surviving to thriving.”
Stuck, Scattered, and in Survival Mode
When I first launched EPICSI, I was full of passion but low on clarity. I’d left a toxic job and jumped into self-employment, but the transition was harder than I expected. I was working constantly — creating content, sending cold messages on LinkedIn, listening to podcasts, doing everything I thought I *should* be doing — and yet, nothing was really working.
I felt like I was shouting into the void.
I didn’t know:
- Who my ideal client really was — food industry giants? Other consultants? New start-ups?
- How to explain what I did in a way that made sense (and showed my value)
- What to charge or how to package my services
- How to market myself without sounding generic or salesy
Deep down, I knew I wanted to help people understand flavours — to avoid the classic mistakes so many make in food development — but I didn’t know how to turn that into a solid business. I was overwhelmed and stuck in survival mode, second-guessing everything.
Tailored Support, Tools That Worked, and a Coach Who “Got Me”
I was fed up with vague business advice and endless one-size-fits-all strategies. I wanted help that was specific to me — my business, my mindset, and the goals I had.
That’s exactly what I got when I started working with Kathy.
Right from the beginning, she understood who I was and how I thought. She could even anticipate my reactions, which was both slightly spooky and incredibly reassuring! Her support was practical, grounded, and full of tools, templates, and exercises that actually moved things forward.
Together, over twelve one-to-one sessions, we:
- Nailed down my ideal audience and the specific problems I help them solve
- Refined my service offerings and how to clearly communicate them
- Worked through pricing, messaging, and the “why” behind everything I offer
- Created foundational documents I still refer back to all the time
- Rebuilt my confidence and shifted my thinking from “just get by” to “I’ve got this!”
Some of the exercises stretched me (in a good way), but the results were so worth it. Everything we did gave me a clearer sense of purpose and a real business strategy I could believe in.
Clarity, Confidence, and Clients!
Working with Kathy changed everything. I now feel confident in myself *and* my business. I have a solid plan, a clear sense of who I’m here to help, and the tools to communicate my value.
Since working together, I’ve:
- Worked with three brilliant clients — one of whom continues to come back with new projects
- Rebuilt my productivity and focus
- Developed a clearer website and social presence that actually connects with the right people
- Finally felt like I’m doing what I love — helping people get flavour right
And the best bit? I’m no longer just “winging it” and hoping it works. I have a business that feels like mine, built on intention and strategy — and I’m genuinely excited for what comes next.
“Working with Kathy was the best investment I’ve made in my business. She doesn’t just give advice — she listens, challenges, supports, and brings real clarity to the chaos. I feel more confident, more capable, and more connected to my purpose than ever before. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure, just book the call. You won’t regret it.”
Feeling Like I Did When I Started Out?
If you’re struggling to get clarity on your services, your audience, or your direction — please don’t do it alone. Kathy’s support helped me turn things around, and she can help you too.
