We had the good fortune of connecting with Kate Pendry and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kate, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Risk is not a concept I have always been comfortable with but have learned to approach it with a combination of intuition and intellect. I view risk with the perspective of opportunity that is driven by passion. Risk is somewhat like a board game where there are known facts and there are some hidden surprises, but none the less there is a goal to meet and whether you get there easily or fail, lessons are everywhere. The contrasts that are highlighted in risk I have found to be more beneficial than everything always going smoothly. And I believe these lessons are essential in our purpose of evolving here on the human plane. Risk helps to validate and strengthen our self love, integrity and resilience.
Risk taking and passion work together in a powerful tandem. Risks began to mean trust, faith and dedication to tuning into my intuition and intellect and see them as a team. Taking risks began to open the doors of opportunity and simultaneously allow for much needed healing on a mental, physical and spiritual level.
Risk wasn’t so much about failure or success but rather placing one foot in front of the other continuously regardless of the outcome. It became more about learning what not to do so my path forward spoke loud and clear. Risk has been everything to allowing me to be where I am right now personally and professionally.
I have ventured forward with many risks, the biggest ones being leaving my hometown with my two kids after losing my husband to cancer and moving from California to Colorado. Followed by leaving my job as a Registered Nurse to pursue building my own business as a Psychic Medium. 3 months later, the Pandemic hit and I was able to stay home with my kids and continue to work doing what I loved helping people all over the world. Many more risks I have taken since, some successful and some with failures, but I never give up. Risk has taught me to keep going and it definitely lights a fire within that has always been there.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I work as a Psychic Medium supporting people globally. This work unfolds in many areas of people’s lives and have clients come to me to connect with loved ones who have passed, to receive clarity and direction, and to find understanding and clarity of their own spirituality.
My Psychic abilities allow me to understand past, present and future events of one’s life because I can connect with their energy. Where I do not make predictions, or read someone’s future, I am able to understand how someone feels and why, where they may be, and other events or experiences they may have had. These are highlighted so my clients can better understand blocks and barriers in their life and how to best move through them to heal.
I have been doing readings for a little over 5 years but officially opened Kate Pendry Medium 2 years ago.
I offer 1:1 readings, small group readings, large audience readings, workshops, and other events both virtually and in person. I enjoy traveling to other areas to be of service as well.
My road to where I am today was challenging, painful, exciting and flooded with joy.
I was never able to share and still can’t, with my family the abilities I have and the business I have created. There isn’t a belief in what I do or an openness to discuss. Although my family is loving and supportive in many ways, this huge life event and what has come out of it hasn’t been one of them.
In 2013 I lost my husband to brain cancer and at the time we had two children, 8 months old and 5 years old. I was lost to say the least and my heart just heart. It simply hurt. I went through many modalities to move through grief. I turned to a medium, Rebecca Rosen, myself and that changed my life in a way I am forever grateful for.
My connection to my late husband came through and I felt like he was with me again. The amount of comfort and peace it gave me initiated a healing process I wasn’t able to find elsewhere. All the little things I had missed so much flooded my heart and my journey forward was lit with hope.
I saw Rebecca Rosen, over the next 5 years and my own abilities began to surface. All the experiences of spiritual connection I had had when I was young, were now highlighted in my life-for real. She had asked me why I wasn’t doing this work for myself and encouraged my journey forward. I was able to experience first hand how much mediumship has helped me and the ways it has positively unfolded in every area of my life and I wanted to give this back in the same way to others.
I stopped my nursing job and went full force into creating my business because my passion and knowing was so deep. The momentum and decisions came clearly. More clear than anything in my life really. Despite the comments around this work, the believing or not believing, I know it is what I am hear to share.
I have learned courage, So much courage. I have learned to trust my intuitive senses and to believe in myself when others don’t. I have learned to observe instead of react. I have learned that the impossible is possible. I believe that. I have learned about gratitude and how the mindset of negativity can be a drowning point. I have learned perseverance and dedication met with inspired action takes you a long way. I have learned about heartache and holding onto experiences only prevents and creates resistance towards the essence of your soul. And I have learned that healing myself first is the only way I could ever take the risks and the steps towards helping others do the same.
I am here to help support and share, not tell you what to do. I am here to create a space of opportunity when you don’t see it, and to help you navigate when you get lost. I’m here to connect the world back together. And most importantly to spread the love and joy in all.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love Estes Park. The Simplicity and the beauty are refreshing. I also enjoy the farmers markets in Estes Park as well. Plenty of local goods and crafts. Many candles purchased there:)
Another favorite is the town of Lyons. St Vrains Market and Deli is the best! Plenty of local shops and delicious coffee!
Lastly, Rabbit Mountain Open Space. One of my favorite places to walk, hike and just be. Very vast and expansive.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My children, Cali and Hudson, have been instrumental in my development. When their dad passed away from brain cancer, they were 5 years old and 8 months old. Since then, the resilience, love, joy and strength that they have shown me is my motivating factor to be who I am and how I show up for the world. We have been through incredibly challenging and painful times as well as many unique and special moments that we were lucky to share together with so much love. They are my everything and my heart. They keep my grounded, active, mindful, patient, and bring joy to me in a way that I am so thankful for. Through the changes and moves I have personally needed to make, they stand strong in their hearts, minds and spirit.
