Katharine Giovanni

Three-Time Award-Winning Bestselling Author, Forgiveness Educator, Intuitive, and International Speaker

I help people let go of the emotional weight they’ve been carrying for years.

Not by pretending the past didn’t happen. Not by telling them to “just let it go.” By teaching practical tools that help people move forward with greater clarity, peace, and freedom.

Because I know what it feels like to carry too much.

I’ve lived through childhood trauma, stage 3 breast cancer, more than three decades of sobriety, the highs of building successful businesses, and the lows of wondering how I was going to pay the bills or what could possibly happen next. (I eventually learned to stop asking that question.)

Every experience taught me something. At the time, I didn’t always appreciate the lesson. But today, I’m grateful for what I’ve learned along the way.

I blend intuitive insight, practical forgiveness, and grounded guidance to help people navigate life’s difficult seasons without losing themselves in the process.

Some people come to me because they’re struggling to forgive.

Some are searching for answers they can’t quite explain.

Others simply know they’re ready for something to change.

They’re all welcome.

My Work

People often ask what I do.

The short answer?

I help people get unstuck.

Sometimes through a private session. Sometimes through one of my books. Sometimes through an intuitive conversation that helps someone see things differently.

And sometimes from the stage, speaking about forgiveness, intuition, and the things life teaches us along the way.

No two people arrive for the same reason, and no two journeys look alike.

My job isn’t to tell people what to believe or how to live their lives.

It’s to help them trust their own wisdom, let go of what weighs them down, and find their own way forward.

 

A Few Things You Should Know About Me

I believe laughter belongs in healing.

I believe forgiveness is something you do for yourself, not for the person who hurt you.

I believe intuition is something we all have, and it doesn’t need to be mysterious or complicated.

I believe you can be deeply intuitive and still question what the hell you’re hearing.

I believe you don’t have to forgive and forget. Most of us can’t do that anyway.

I believe some of the biggest breakthroughs happen when we stop trying so hard to have all the answers.

And I believe life is far too short to take ourselves seriously all the time.

I drink a lot of coffee.

I laugh loudly.

I ask a lot of questions.

I’m fluent in several languages: Northern, Southern, corporate, intuitive, and “just tell me what you mean.” I switch dialects as needed.

And if we work together, there’s a very good chance we’ll laugh at least once.

If we don’t, something has gone terribly wrong.

Read Something That Helps

My books explore forgiveness, intuition, resilience, and the messy business of being human.

Some will make you think.

Some may make you laugh.

A few might make you argue with me.

I’m okay with that.

Trust What You’re Sensing

Sometimes you know something before you know how you know it.

Other times, you’re searching for answers you can’t quite put into words.

And sometimes you just need someone to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing.

That’s where I come in.

Bring Me Into The Room

I speak about forgiveness, intuition, resilience, and what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan.

My talks are practical, honest, interactive, and usually funny.

Because people learn better when they’re not checking the clock.

Books and Media

I’ve written sixteen books, including my newest, The Reluctant Intuitive. Or seven. Depends on how you count. The Concierge Manual went through multiple editions, which is how seven books somehow became sixteen. Publishing math is apparently its own branch of mathematics.

Turns out I process life by writing about it.

My books explore forgiveness, intuition, resilience, business, and the strange turns life sometimes takes. Some grew out of my professional experiences. Others came from lessons I learned the hard way. And a few came from stories I never imagined I’d tell.

My newest book, The Reluctant Intuitive, brings those worlds together. It’s a true-life memoir told through a fantasy framework, complete with a mysterious Hallway, doors into my past, a sloth with the keys, Goldie, and one rather unforgettable dragon.

The books tell part of my story.

The conversations tell another.

Over the years, I’ve appeared in hundreds of podcast, radio, and television interviews around the world, and my work has been featured in major media outlets.

The books tell part of the story. If you’d like to keep the conversation going, I still write regularly over on Substack.

Yes, I know. I said seven books, but you only see six. The seventh is out of print, was rewritten, and now lives a new life under a different title. Apparently, even my books believe in reincarnation.

Why This Work Matters To Me

People sometimes ask me how I blend forgiveness, intuition, and practical guidance.

The truth?

I spent years keeping them separate. I just don’t anymore.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I know how to put different parts of myself into different boxes depending on the room I’m in. I did it for a very long time. I could have taught a masterclass.

But eventually, I realized I didn’t want to do that anymore. I wanted to show up as myself.

All of myself.

Intuition helps us understand what we’re sensing and allows us to see things from a different perspective. Forgiveness helps us release the emotional weight we’ve been carrying. Practical tools help us do something with what we discover.

I believe healing can be practical without losing its depth.

We can acknowledge what happened without allowing it to define everything that comes next.

We can learn from the past, let go of what no longer serves us, and write the next chapter differently.

That’s why this work matters to me.

What Hosts Say After the Mic Turns Off

Some of my favorite feedback comes after the recording stops.

That’s usually when the real conversation begins.

Hosts have described our conversations as honest, refreshing, funny, thought-provoking, and surprisingly practical.

And occasionally I hear: “That went somewhere I wasn’t expecting.”

Those might be my favorite ones.

“One of the most amazing guests I’ve ever had on my show! You NEED to have Katharine on your show TODAY. She is a life-changing experience. I promise you—and your listeners—will not be the same after she’s on your show.”  The Fierce Female Network

“We had a fluid conversation the whole time. It felt like two friends catching up over coffee. The energy was amazing! I’m already moving things around to bring her back. That’s how great she was!” Pete Vs Anxiety
