About Kathy Marie Austin

I’m Kathy — author of Inner Strength Unleashed. I am a woman who has lived through the storm and found her way to the sunlight.

My story is not one of ease, nor of early awakening. I didn’t grow up in the world of spirituality. I built my life the hard way, through relentless work ethic, resilience, and a deep belief that life could hold more than struggle.

For decades, I walked the path of survival. As a single mother raising three boys on my own, with no formal education, no safety net, and no roadmap, I carried the weight of responsibility with quiet determination. I spent years in the insurance industry, climbing from minimum-wage beginnings to leadership positions through sheer grit and perseverance.

Even then, even in the hardest moments, life offered me small miracles. Just when it seemed there was no way forward, the universe sent its quiet messengers: an unexpected meal, a helping hand, a full tank of gas on an empty road. These moments planted a seed of knowing — that perhaps I was never truly alone in this journey.

It wasn’t until later in my life that I fully opened to the wisdom of the unseen. Astrology, spiritual study, and mentorship with healers and coaches began to shift my entire way of being. I discovered that I had been working against my natural rhythm for much of my life — and that liberation was possible when I learned to trust the flow instead of fight it.

Through my own transformation, I became deeply committed to guiding others through theirs.

 Today I am the Resident Astrologer for The Diantha Rose Collective. I bring the lived wisdom of my own healing and the clarity of astrological insight to every offering I hold. My work within the Collective helps shape a space where sacred remembering can unfold — always grounded in truth, care, and devotion. 

“Strength is not the absence of struggle. It is the choice to rise, again and again, no matter how many times life tries to pull you down.”

In this work, I stand not above, but beside every soul on their journey. I know what it feels like to carry the weight of doubt and the fear of the unknown. And I also know the profound freedom that waits on the other side of that fear.
