My Story

Hi there! I'm Kas, the heart and soul behind Ignite and Inspire Studio. As a mom of four incredible kids, I've experienced the rollercoaster of parenthood – the joy, the chaos, and everything in between. But life has also thrown me some curveballs, including surviving domestic abuse and navigating mental health challenges since childhood.

It wasn't until I was an adult that I was finally diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and finally, CPTSD, which shed light on the struggles I'd been facing for so long. Through years of therapy, self-discovery, regaining my faith, and a whole lot of research, I've found my own path toward healing and well-being.

One of my biggest turning points was discovering the power of creativity- scrapbooking, journaling, writing, poetry. Finally, I gained the courage to reach out to different types of support groups, in person and online. Sharing my journey and connecting with others who understood what I was going through made all the difference.

That's why I created Ignite and Inspire Studio. I wanted to build a space where others could find the support, resources, and inspiration that I so desperately needed years ago. Whether you're struggling with mental health, exploring your creativity, or simply looking for a place to feel seen and heard, you're welcome here.

My mission is to spread awareness, break down the stigma surrounding mental health, and empower you to embrace your own unique journey. I believe in the power of self-care, the importance of community, and the transformative potential of creativity.

In addition to being passionate about mental wellness, I'm also passionate about reading and digital art. When I'm not working on Ignite and Inspire Studio, you can usually find me listening to audiobooks, working on my personal novel, and of course spending time with my kiddos!

I'm so grateful you're here, and I hope this space can become a source of comfort, inspiration, and growth for you. Remember, you're not alone on this journey. We're in this together.
