Becoming a B.R.A.T.™: Creating Your Life Based on the Truth of Who You Really Are
Becoming a B.R.A.T.™: Creating Your Life Based on the Truth of Who You Really Are is a storytelling podcast about owning who you are and what you're here to do in the world—regardless of pushback.
From chipping her tooth in the middle of an orgasm to tapping into abundance, host/creator/owner/producer Kathy Barthel (aka Bratty Kathy) shares irreverent, funny, and compelling stories about becoming who she really was after years of hiding it. And inspires other women to do the same.
Kathy Barthel is the creator and owner of the B.R.A.T.™ brand (her acronym for women who are Bold, Relevant, Addictive, and Transformative) which she started in 2013. Kathy is a former journalist, TV host, and TV producer with a 30-year career in major Canadian media (digital, print, broadcast). She teaches video at her company, Take on the World.
