Kathryn was raised Catholic, but she only attended church on Easter Sunday.  Her Dad was raised in the Catholic church, went to Catholic school and was an altar boy.  She doesn't know the reasoning, but when he was raising them, religion wasn't important, and he seemed even be turned off by it.  One reason may be because Kathryn's grandmother (his mom) would go to mass in the morning and be drunk by 2:00pm.  As a child, If she would sleep over at a friend's house on a Saturday night, she would go to church with them on Sunday. Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and she remembers a place called "Rock Church" where they danced and spoke in tongues! Nothing stuck.  In her early 20's, she was wild. Partying all the time and after one extremely crazy night, decided she no longer wanted to live life that way.  So, Kathryn hit her knees and prayed to God for help.  Now, she may not have been raised in church. But she can tell you as sure as she typed this, God has been with her as far back as she can remember.  She would talk to him all the time.  He would answer.  It wasn't audible, but she could always hear him.  She can remember at 5 years old, as her Mom and Dad were in a drunken screaming fight, Ishe was crouched in a little bathroom of our military housing home.  She got on her knees, and cried out to God.  "Please, please take me back.  You've made a big mistake. You've put me in the wrong family."  Well, he didn't take her back. But things would get better for a while, before getting worse again. A few years later, she met Jon. He was Jewish. They bonded over their spiritual beliefs. She got married in a Japanese garden with a non-denominational pastor and she smashed the glass (Jewish tradition). They had children, and she did get them baptized. She knew this was important somehow but didn't really know why.  They moved to Florida and her Jewish husband became a follower of Jesus (that's a whole other fascinating story of how that happened). But, as he started learning about the teachings of Jesus, he would share with them.  They started going to a local church.  Then started having family meetings. The foundation was laid.  Enter "THE CHOSEN". The miniseries produced by Derral Eves and Dallas Jenkins. For the first time in Kathryn's whole life, it all makes sense! Pieces of the puzzle are fitting. The stories, the disciples, the places. It's like all the sudden, she sees in technicolor!!! When I found out she was interviewing Derral Eves, the Executive Producer of "The Chosen", she was so excited.  He did not disappoint.  Kathryn doesn't know where you are in your spiritual walk, but she knows this interview will have something in it for you.  No matter what your faith or background.  Oh and P.S... This episode kicks off Jon and Kathryn doing podcasts interviews together. They will still have guests they interview separately, but anytime they think when they have a guest or message both their audiences will enjoy, they will do a collab! 

For Kathryn's 100th episode of Kathryn For Real, she recorded her family having a family meeting.  This idea came about as she is often asked for great tips on raising kids and ways to keep a family together in a world that always seems to be pulling us apart. Without a doubt, the best thing she ever did to develop a strong family was her weekly family meeting. Each Sunday, they would meet as a family and Jon would read a devotional, an article or share an inspirational video. Next, they would discuss their family mission statement and how they were living it. Remind each other of their “One Word” for the year and talk about how that was going. Then, each family member would share a challenge they were dealing with, while the other family members would offer solutions. They learned things that the kids were dealing with that they would have never known without having these meetings. They helped them create a bond that still lasts to this day. Some might say “We eat dinner together as a family. Isn't that good enough?” … Of course, it's great to eat together, but Kathryn found with a busy family whose kids play sports or have a lot of activities, it's not always easy to eat together. Scheduling a weekly family meeting and making it a priority ensures you will connect more with each other. Now, let's face it, busyness and stress can cause a family to run in circles to the point you don't invest in what matters most … your relationships. If you miss a week, you must keep at it. Keep scheduling it. Keep fighting for it. Family meetings help you create a strong and calm foundation in the midst of chaos. From The Gordon Family to yours, we hope this is your best year yet!

Kathryn grew up around water. Be it the beach or intracoastal waterway, she was always boogie-boarding, body surfing, waterskiing or just “laying out” with baby oil. 
As an adult, she plays tennis in the Florida sun. Her skin has taken a beating. She has sunspots to prove it. Kathryn decided to go to a Med-Spa and do a laser on her arms to remove the sunspots. She had done it once before and had seen a noticeable difference. The spots were lighter, so a few months later she went in for one more round. She thought that would do the trick. Well, as the technician was firing the laser, it didn't seem right, and Kathryn kept seeing a spark and a sound she had never heard before. She kept questioning the technician, but she said it was "okay". This is one of those times when Kathryn knew better but I didn't stop the treatment. A week later, the skin on Kathryn's arms was crinkly, dried up and flat, the sunspots were still there. She kept hoping her skin would recover, but weeks turned into months, months turned into YEARS. 5 years to be exact!! Since then, she has tried every cream you can think of over these last 5 years, and nothing has helped. 

So, a few months ago, she saw a friend of hers online talking about this new product "ONE SKIN" that reverses the age of your skin. That it improved the texture of eye skin by 133 percent! Kathryn thought maybe ... just maybe, this was different. Kathryn called her friend and asked him to give me the real scoop. He said “you must try it yourself … it's amazing". He then had One Skin send her some products to try. Kathryn told the rep if it could improve the skin on my arms then she was sold as I've tried every product under the sun (pun intended), and nothing has helped. In all honesty, Kathryn is always being sent products to promote in my newsletter and on my podcast but most never make it to her social media because she won't talk about anything that she can't personally vouch for. Well ... Kathryn is SO HAPPY to report that she has seen a remarkable difference in her eye skin, face and ... the real test for her, there is a huge difference in the skin on her arms. It looks younger and the texture has improved significantly. It doesn't look crepey and old anymore. One Skin is the ONLY product that has been able to do this!!! Listen to this episode as Kathryn talks to the founder of One Skin, Dr. Carolina Oliveira. She explains how OS-01 was discovered and is asked questions about this peptide that we all want to know.

About 9 months ago, Kathryn was struggling with a lot of negative thoughts.  This was new for her. She was always the positive one. The person that saw the glass as half full. But she had fallen into this negative loop of self loathing and doom.  “I have no energy. Im sore. I'm getting old. I'll never lose this weight, It's too late to.." (fill in the blank here because it seemed she thought it was too late to change anything!) She would share her self-loathing and angst with Jon.  Now for a little back story, Jon used to be the negative one.  She was the one that would speak life into him, but through his own practices and writing over the years he changed his mindset and was about to complete his next book The One Truth, a book to help elevate your mind and heal your soul.  She didn't think it's a coincidence that she somehow had become like the very person this book was written to help. So, he was fresh from doing a lot of research on the subject. He said, “Kathryn you're tuned into the wrong channel. The negative channel.”  He was right!!  He gave the analogy of “it's like when you get in your car and the radio comes on. It's set on a channel. You have to change that channel to get different music. So you have to change your own channel. You have to TUNE into the positive.” At that same time, Kathryn started working with a health and wellness company and had a whole bloodwork up done. When the results came back there were a few things that needed some attention. But nothing serious or irreversible. Her cholesterol and blood sugar was creeping up. But then her nutritionist said “Now this is unique and something that isn't common.” Kathryn held her breath preparing for the bad news. “Based on your DNA you are in the ULTRA class. You have the genes for ultra performance in endurance sports. You have a substantial genetic advantage that's seen in Olympic Athletes.”  Ha! What? That's fantastic news! All the sudden she pulled her shoulders back and sat up taller. "Well, what do you know, I have the genes of an Olympic Athlete!", Kathrny said.  You see, while raising her athletic kids she would always say, "You know if I had parents like me (that were so involved in the kids' sports), I would have been an Olympic Athlete. Kathryn would go on to say that her kids got HER athletic genes, I mean both of them have her body type, not Jon's after all. At which point, Jon would laugh and say, Honey I'm the D-1 athlete. You didn't even play sports in school. But there it was! There is no denying Kathryn's Olympic genes!  This news changed everything for her.  She felt stronger. She had more energy. She started working out consistently, she ate better. She even started dropping weight. She felt hopeful again.  What changed? Her thinking. It went from “I am old” to “I AM an Olympic Athlete”. That's it. She changed her mindset! If you want to hear the full story, join Kathryn and Jon on this week's episode of the Kathryn For Real podcast!

Thank you for joining Kathryn for another Wednesday Real! Today, we are going to discuss authenticity. Authenticity is a term that's often thrown around, but what does it really mean? At its core, authenticity is about being true to yourself and to your values. It means living in a way that's aligned with your beliefs, rather than trying to conform to the expectations of others.   Kathryn has struggled with authenticity in the past. She has often felt pressure to present a certain image or fit into a particular mold, whether in her personal or professional life. But over time, she's come to realize that being authentic is not only more fulfilling, but it also helps me build deeper connections. If you can't tell by now ... being "real" isn't an issue for her anymore. That's what The Kathryn For Real Podcast is all about! ;) So why is authenticity so important? Kathryn would love to hear your thoughts and experiences with authenticity. Have you struggled with being authentic? What steps have you taken to be more true to yourself? She'll see you next week for another topic that's sure to get you thinking! In the meantime, remember to be REAL to yourself and live authentically.

Health and wellness has always been important to Kathryn. It doesn't mean she's been perfect at living a clean life. If you follow her, you know she finally gave up alcohol at the beginning of January (again) and sugar is an ongoing battle that she wins most days, but not every day. She's always interested in modalities to help heal, strengthen and balance.  When she heard about the Heal Documentary, she had to go see it. She packed up a carload of girlfriends and headed downtown to a local cinema. So, it was serendipitous talking to the Producer, Kelly Noonan Gores, on her podcast about the documentary and having her share various tips and insights that she finds helpful in her own healing. Kathryn's hope is that you hear something in this interview that will help you on your journey to optimum health and wellness!

On this week's episode of Kathryn For Real, Kathryn interviews Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Kevin Brenner, MD and Holistic Beauty Coach, Amanda Porta, to discuss Breast Implant Illness.  Dr. Brenner performs all types of plastic surgery and has become widely known for his primary and revision breast surgery. As most of you know, Kathryn became severely ill from her breast implants. After doing numerous shows, documentaries, magazine interviews and podcasts, women (and some men) have reached out to her seeking answers to questions from “How do I know my implants are making me sick?” to “Do you know a Dr that is experienced in explanting and knows to remove the capsule?” Kathryn was excited when Amanda reached out to her after she heard her breast implant story on The Kathryn For Real podcast. She's a patient advocate at Dr Brenner's office for women dealing with Breast Implant Illness. After experiencing the illness herself, she has helped thousands of women detox, and heal through their own explant journeys. Kathryn's goal in their interview was to ask the questions to get the answers you would want to know.
