Katrina Bell shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Katrina, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Lately, I’ve been finding so much joy in focusing on my overall health. I’ve been moving my body more, making time for myself, eating better, and staying consistent with my vitamins. I’ve also been pouring into my spiritual and mental well-being by reading a daily devotional, practicing gratitude, listening to music, meditating, manifesting, and even getting back into reading books again.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Katrina Bell, Licensed Professional Counselor, mom, mental wellness creative, and founder of L.I.F.E. with KB. I believe in helping people heal from the inside out by learning to live more intentionally, fearlessly, and efficiently.
I work with high-functioning women and professionals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life transitions. I have a deep passion for supporting moms, especially during the often-overlooked perinatal stages like fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. Whether you’re overwhelmed with “doing it all,” navigating identity shifts, or just trying to reconnect with yourself, you’re in the right place.
In addition to therapy, I create tools to support your healing journey, guided journals, mental wellness workshops, and even fragrance layering experiences designed to help you feel like you again.
When I’m not in session or crafting something intentional, you’ll find me giving back through my community service in Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., or spending quality time with my daughter and husband. I believe healing can be both sacred and practical and that you don’t have to lose yourself while helping everyone else.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
As a child and well into my teen years, I carried a sense of ease and freedom, completely at home in my own skin. I naturally marched to the beat of my own drum, often choosing the quiet joy of reading, listening to music, or the release of singing over playing outside with friends or sitting with dolls.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
One kind thing that I would say to my younger self would be, “let them judge you, you’re ok. Just be yourself and all will be well”.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, I show up as my most authentic self in nearly every space. While I may adjust how I communicate or express myself to fit the environment, the core of who I am never changes. There was a time when I struggled with this, and it made life feel more difficult than it needed to be. Now I understand that the easiest and most freeing thing I can do is simply be myself.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If you retired tomorrow, what would your customers miss most?
Being able to talk and have a safe space to process emotions.
