S4E65 | Katie Lynn Navi - Trauma-Informed Transformational Storyteller, Ex-GATE Student & Web Model

I’m honored to introduce you all to: child sexual abuse and sex industry survivor, mother, wife, multi-dimensional transformational storyteller, former gifted student, Metaphysical Practitioner and trauma recovery expert, intuitive healer, spiritual counselor, transformational life coach, and absolute inspiration: Katie Lynn Navi

Katie experienced trauma in her very young and formative years and was extremely misunderstood as a child due to her extra-sensory perceptions and lack of words or concepts for the things she tried to explain that she knew or could see. Paranormal experiences were very normal for her and in turn, she developed a fascination from very young for supernatural phenomena. In school, she advanced into being placed into the gifted and talented education - or GATE - programs and was selected for leadership conferences and going away to represent her school at leadership conferences and retreats to help develop her writing and speaking. She was part of Odyssey of the Mind and youth ministry.

As she got older, Katie would internally battle the inner ‘knowing’ of her intuition versus the strict path her parents expected of her as the daughter of a military father and eventually settled on working in the medical field. It was after this decision that she would experience a series of events that would begin to push her into the realms of discovering MK ULTRA and questioning the western medicine model.

In 2015, Katie became intertwined in the sex industry after she felt a part of her take over to lead her on a mission, she didn’t realize would become investigative work. As a survivor of child sexual abuse, she developed a greater understanding of the darkness within others, with an intrinsic understanding of what motivated divergent behavior. She began to realize while she was in this world that I had a few different handlers guiding me, grooming me along the way.

In 2016, Katie had a spiritual awakening that would be the catalyst to her path to recovery where she would eventually decide to take extreme ownership of her life. She learned how to unpack all of the things that she experienced in a safe container with another person and transform that into a different perspective about who she is today.

One thing that stood out to her in my recovery was the storytelling of others. Katie realized how valuable storytelling was, and how each person’s story was a piece of something that she had living within me that needed to be expressed or seen. These stories saved her life and granted her sanity that could never be found in a pill bottle. As she heard people tell their stories, and she began to tell my own, she began to drop the heavy rock she had been carrying for so long.

Today, Katie is a transformational life coach, and helps people tell their stories in order to heal the past and create a new empowering narrative for themselves. She practices the art of transformational storytelling, works with my clients on sharing their experience, strength, and hope so that they can be the medicine for someone else. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call turning pain into purpose.

I relate to Katie in so many ways and love how her experiences in healing led her to take what she learned in healing so she could teach others. This is what I believe to be a massive purpose for all survivors Katie’s story ended her right where mine ended me - in understanding the power of testimony. After all the women Katie has devoted her life to healing through transformative storytelling, it is my honor to have Katie on ‘The Imagination’ to share HER amazing testimony for the very first time on a long-format interview. Katie is a hero to me in so many ways and her selfless nature to help others I have a deep admiration for.
