Hey love! I'm Kaitlynn Stout, The Self-Love Hippie, and I'm elated that you're here!

​

I'm an Awakening Coach and Divine Channel, helping people like you remember how gorgeous and worthy your true self is to exist so you can shift from people-pleaser to you-pleaser. Living life on your own terms sounds pretty great, right?! 

​

I have the audacity to think I can help others because I have done exactly what I said above, and I know how unique each experience is and how to help you find what works for you as an individual, because there's nobody out there like you.

​

As far as my own journey, it’s my whole zone of genius and the seed that blossomed into my coaching. I had my mental health awakening at 27 years old, shortly after giving birth to my daughter, Aurora. My spiritual awakening has been lifelong although my "big bang" (cosmic joke, lol) followed shortly after the mental health one. 

​

Through that process, I finally had the vocabulary to explain what I feel and believe. It was a dichotomy though-- I was processing traumas and healing myself all the while feeling so scared because many aspects of my spirituality was/is not widely accepted. It felt like I was bursting with beautiful light that I wanted to share, yet I was afraid of not being accepted. Maybe you've felt similar.

 

Awakenings are a very vital part of an upleveling for our souls. They come with so many aha moments and epiphanies that we want to shout from the rooftops, but it can also feel so isolating because we haven't yet found the community that truly understands us and what we're going through. We haven't yet allowed the people and situations that no longer serve us to be let go.

​

The beginnings of those journeys was lonely in terms of being around people that knew the extent of what I was experiencing or that I was experiencing it at all. So this combined with how life-altering that living intentionally and accepting and loving myself was/is, I decided then and there that I’m meant to shine my light and help as many people as will allow me to. I knew that despite how much it sucked to have experienced the traumas I was then processing, I had to go through them to help other people.

​

Part of the vocabulary I discovered that resonated (still does) is Lightworker. This was a huge eye-opener for me and my core value and role in life. I adore and resonate most with Rebecca Campbell's explanation of what a Lightworker is:

​

"A Lightworker is an awake soul who has made the conscious decision to live in alignment with their soul. They know that we are all interconnected and that their presence has the potential to create a positive change. They have made the conscious decision to devote their whole life, to following what lights them up and, by default, to lighting up the world with their presence. They understand that their actions (no matter how big or small) have the potential to create change. 

​

. . . a Lightworker is: someone who wholeheartedly makes the decision to make the world a brighter place by them being in it. The more conscious we get, the higher our vibration and the more aligned to Source we become. The more conscious we are, the more we see how everything is connected and how we fit into a larger whole."

​

One of my favorite things about self-work is that we're ever-evolving and who we are isn't the same as it was even one minute ago. We get to learn how to relieve ourselves of that pressure and expectation of trying to be the same person, especially if it's who someone else wants us to be.

 

You can look at it like perennial plants; there's an entire life cycle we experience multiple times throughout our human lifetime with deaths, rebirths, growth, blossoming-- over and over. And each time we have the opportunity to uplevel, learn more about ourselves, and love ourselves even more. We get to be vulnerable about these experiences to normalize and destigmatize it for others.
