Summer 2022: A Note from Hope Katz Gibbs, publisher, Inkandescent Women magazine — It’s always a pleasure to help promote the work being done by members of the Inkandescent® family who we had the privilege of getting to know. Case in point: Life Coach Kat Hehnke and Brenda Lee Nelson, creators of the 8-week online course Magick Wisdom Weavers.
Last summer: We featured Life Coach Brenda Lee Nelson on the cover of BeInkandescent Health & Wellness magazine. She shared her insights into the value of hiring a life coach, and in the sidebar, we highlighted her mentors, including internationally renowned life coach trainer Martha Beck and her newest book, The Way of Integrity, and Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroscientist who shares her latest research in Whole Brain Living.
Today: We spotlight Brenda and Kat, who are hosting an online 8-week workshop to bring together a circle of up to 10 women from across the country to create magick and to learn about and share magick-infused rituals.
Brenda and Kat explain: “In this workshop, you are invited to come as you are, leaving your cultural cloak at the door and showing up fully as your magickal essential self. Together we will play in the magick that is always around us.”

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” asks Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and naturalist Mary Oliver. As a coach, writer, mom, and mystic, I often think about this question. My answer to this question has been finding my way back to myself and spreading as much goodness as possible.
I was born into a family culture and religious tradition, and I simply didn’t make sense. By learning to follow my inner guidance and the whisper of Spirit through the treacherous terrain of “shoulds,” I have found my way home to a life where I make perfect sense. I believe my purpose is to help others do the same with as much joy, peace, courage, and authenticity as possible!
My path to coaching: My love of the human story began in my childhood as an avid reader and grew into earning a BA in English. I later earned an Elementary Education M.Ed and spent 12 years working as an educator and school administrator. As much as I loved my career, my heart longed to focus on helping others find their way home to their truest self. When I found coaching, I knew I’d found the right path forward! I completed the first of many coaching certifications in 2010 and eventually found my coaching home with Martha Beck Inc. I became a certified Wayfinder Master Coach in 2021 and earned my ICF ACC credential in 2022. Coaching truly changed my life, and I am honored to be able to share it with others.
