In today’s episode we are chatting with Kath Koschel.

Kath Koschel is a very special woman. She’s had more obstacles thrown at her in her life so far than any of us could imagine overcoming. Kath is an ex-professional athlete, she has broken her back twice; once while playing cricket for New South Wales and once while riding her bike training for an Iron Man after recovering from her first broken back. She’s taught herself to walk on three separate occasions, defying her medical prognosis of paralysis. 

Kath’s story is one that you’ll likely feel as though you need to share it with everyone that you love. Her love story took a tragic path, but that time in her life has led to her creating the kindness factory which has shaped the way that we look at kindness across the world. 

Kath now works as a motivational speaker and has joined forces with some of the most powerful people in the world. In this chat you’ll hear one of the greatest stories about one of the Obamas!

Kath’s life is one of inspiration, resilience and utter strength. She is humble, grounded and has a bit of a potty mouth!
