We had the good fortune of connecting with Katrina Hunt and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Katrina, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
For as long as I can remember I have always been the kind of person that loves people! Serving and supporting people truly makes me happy… brings me joy! I love meeting new people, getting to know people, and I try my best to understand people and their needs so that I can figure out how to serve them, and most of all how to put a smile on their face if I can.

What should our readers know about your business?
Radiant Life, LLC is a holistic life and family coaching service. Everyone hurts then hunts. My story includes one of the biggest and greatest hunts of my life (I’m oh so grateful for this hunt because it’s led me to a place of “found” and straight to you). While working with children and teens, I’d see that even those in therapy were many times not receiving the help, support and understanding that they desperately desired and needed. That’s when I went on the hunt for solution and discovered that my decades of experience in this space and degrees have fully equipped me to answer to the outcry with an outpouring of support from my tried and true formula for wholeness. My holistic approach takes the individual from isolation to community through new methods of communication within the family structure. What sets me apart from others is my diverse background of experiences in serving all levels Pre-k-12, and every socio-economic status. Also, I value partnership with parents, and do my best to make sure we all stay in communication throughout the life coaching process. I am most proud of my first children’s book, “Penelope Embraces Her Uniqueness”, which is a story that inspires people, especially children to embrace their unique gifts and talents in life. I’m excited about my second children’s book entitled, “A Father’s Love” that you can expect to see online on Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc sometime hopefully 2023. It’s a book to inspire fathers and sons about the importance of a father’s guidance/father figure’s guidance and the impact that it makes on a sons life. It is also a reminder to boys that they are loved, they matter and they are important in this world. I’m hopeful that this book ignites a fire throughout our nation and world with this powerful message that is needed right now!

Business-wise, I simply had to release fear and take a leap of faith. I’ve been stepping ever since, and keep taking things one day at a time, and giving myself grace to trust and embrace the process/journey. It definitely wasn’t an easy step. It’s something that honestly I feel I’ve been “coming to” along life’s journey, and I haven’t arrived yet, things are still unfolding, and evolving. That’s the beautiful part about this thing called life, right?! We get to enjoy the highs, lows and powerful lessons along the way if we stay open.

Some helpful lessons that I’ve learned along the way in business include the following: 1. Take your time, there is never a need to be in a rush or hurry to make something happen. Timing is everything. 2. Be teachable and coachable. Wisdom is key when it comes to expansion, there is much to learn from others. 3. Be flexible. 4. Give yourself grace because there is a lot you are learning. 5. Be yourself. People appreciate honesty, genuineness, and want to know that you are a real person too with real life issues that you are overcoming.

I want the world to know that I am passionate about the work that I do with individuals, children, youth and families. I give my all to make sure that you are arriving at the best solutions in your life. Life is meant for us to live fully, and wholey not, “holey”. During your time with me, you’ll learn: 1) practical life tools that build up emotional resilience and healthy families, 2) move from simply coping to thriving in life 3) discover how to open up, get unstuck, and live your best life and 4) exchange breakdowns for a breakthrough.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh now this is a tough question, lol. So many amazing things to eat, see and do in DFW! If my great girlfriends/sisters were visiting the area (KID FREE) for a week our time together would include the following spots: Cru Food & Wine Bar- The Shops at Legacy, Mexican Sugar, Barneys Brunch House, Legacy West, Grapevine, Fort Worth Rodeos, any fun sushi spot, any delightful coffee bars… These are just a few ideas that come to mind. Honestly, we are all so laid back and where the day goes would depend on our mood/the time of year. Bottomline, food, fun, yummy drinks and quality time together would be top on our list.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family (parents and 7 siblings), my amazing 2 children, close friends, numerous administrators and educators that I was blessed to serve alongside over the years, and anyone who continues to move forward in life no matter the obstacles that life brings your way ALL deserve credit and recognition in my story because they played a huge part in the me that I am today. I hope that makes sense. Basically, if it had not been for them, I wouldn’t have evolved into the me that I am today. They deserve a HUGE shoutout for being the amazing people that they are… cheerleaders, supporters, encouragers, advocates, and so on! I shine because of the light they have been and are in my life.
