The common problem in our society is precisely this: We are not as alright as we seem. Trauma, physical and mental illness, and disembodied value systems are at an all-time high across our communities. Additionally, issues of pervasive social justice imbalances, inequality for marginalized communities, and painfully charged political dynamics clearly demonstrate a large-scale desire for collective change and transformation. Society is waking up to a new reality without the shackles and numbness that have previously limited our potential. This book is the timely resource to support the expansive elevation humanity demands.

The Radiant Life Project answers the yearning for large-scale repair with the intention of mending the world by first cultivating radical wellbeing within each individual. This book teaches a fresh and accessible approach to self-healing with deep compassion, skillful expertise, and exquisite strategies for intentional progression toward improved mind-body-soul wellness.

In truth, Fine is not going to cut it. Surviving is not thriving. There is no substitute for the aliveness that follows when a person actively nurtures their inner pilot light so it can roar with brilliance. The Radiant Life Project is a groundbreaking guide for this essential inner-work that ignites inner-radiance through Kate King’s unique therapeutic approach and engaging experiential offerings. This is a unique and timely masterclass based on Kate’s over fifteen years of clinical psychotherapeutic practice and humble life learnings that combines science, psychology, spirituality, and creativity to activate powerful personal transformation. Beyond intellectual stimulation and soulful inspiration, The Radiant Life Project offers practical tools and unique exercises that will spark deep sustainable healing. For those who have experienced years of therapy and personal development without regularly feeling the resonance of freedom and joy, this book is the missing piece you’ve been looking for to supercharge your self-improvement success.

This writing aligned with my own exceedingly uncomfortable awakening at the beginning of 2022, which was uncovered by personal and professional burnout unlike anything I had ever before experienced. On the radiance scale, I’d say I was subterranean. I was a lackluster, dulled, and numbed version of myself, and I felt farther apart from my true nature than ever before. It became crystal clear that I needed to take extreme measures to counterbalance my stress and exhaustion. Working tirelessly as a healthcare provider during the pandemic while simultaneously navigating complex socio-cultural expectations, an unsustainably expanded social network, my family’s well-being, and my own personal fears of the Covid virus nearly drowned me. ...My choice to step away from the demands of my work was not socially acceptable or normal, and many people judged and criticized me for it. I did not have a reason supported by society to take a break from work, such as maternity leave, death of a loved one, or treatment for a debilitating illness. Still, I took the time. I did so against my own cultural conditioning because I desperately needed rest, repair, and rekindling with my authentic Self. I needed to stoke the inner fire of my soul and life force to bring my radiance back online.

And just like that, The Radiant Life Project was born.

Kate offers a breadth of expertise and personal insight in The Radiant Life Project.

I highly recommend The Radiant Life Project to anyone who wants to delve deeper into understanding themselves and their inner world in ways not previously explored. This book is chock-full of well resourced information and inspiration!”

Kate's engaging blend of stories, science, and reflective prompts will lead you to a deeper care of true Self.

Shelly L. Francis

In the early days of COVID, King, a clinical psychotherapist and art therapist already burned out at work, decided to step away from her practice for a four-month sabbatical leave, and promptly became sick with the virus. Out of that tumultuous experience was born the Radiant Life Project, a holistic healing practice. This book offshoot of the project guides readers to reclaim their own drive and purpose by examining their connections and relationships…. Readers willing to put in the work, actively explore their experiences, and tap into their creativity will be rewarded.
