Are you ready to master your disaster?

If you’re struggling with uncertainty and change, reeling from a disaster or simply looking for a better, quicker way to shortcut your suffering and claim back your happiness, contentment and peace of mind….

“You’re always one decision away from a totally different life. So make a choice, take a chance and change your life…”

When her husband leaves her on her 40th birthday, only hours after radical surgery to cure her “incurable” disease, Kat Finnerty’s world is shattered.

But then something remarkable happens.

She overcomes his betrayal in 12 hours. It’s almost as if her absurd, disaster-prone life has been arming her with the superpowers to master her disaster.

So begins Kat’s astonishing true story. Spanning the globe from her hometown of Toronto to the rugged outback of Australia, Kat discovers from an early age that being gifted with nine lives isn’t enough to offset her suffering.

She sets out on a high-stakes adventure to squeeze more meaning and purpose from her life, only to be cruelly struck down at 24 by a crippling disease. 

Kat contemplates the unthinkable. Until fate intervenes in the form of a tattooed Maori Buddhist teacher, an unorthodox Canadian yoga guru and a Zen motorbike-riding spiritual renegade. They open her eyes to the truth about suffering.

And this changes everything.

Just like the pieces of a puzzle, the lessons from Kat's catastrophes fall into place, revealing a profound truth. She transforms herself into a master of disaster and ultimately cures her “incurable” disease. 

Infused with humour and the wisdom of Buddhist and Stoic philosophy, this life-changing memoir will move, inspire and empower you to never let a good disaster go to waste.

Meet the Author

Hi, I’m Kat!

I was 24 when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and told I’d probably be in a wheelchair by 40. But despite enduring years of debilitating attacks, I managed to cure my “incurable” disease and reverse nearly all my symptoms.

I attribute a large part of this journey to a radical change in mindset. By learning how to harness the power of my mind I broke out of my cycle of suffering and overcame and transformed my challenges.

It gave me the courage and conviction to tackle my treatment regimes and therapies and see them through to the end.

And the good news is, you can do this too! In fact, my goal is to arm you with the SUPERPOWERS and TOOLS to become a master of your disasters!

All of my books, retreats, blogs, posts, videos and courses are created to inspire and help you overcome adversity, no matter how big or small.

I’ve made it my mission to provide you with the life hacks that will bring more peace, joy and contentment into your life RIGHT NOW, not in some imagined future.
