The Radiant Life Project

Awaken Your Purpose, Heal Your Past, and Transform Your Future

Kate King

A groundbreaking guide for self-healing enthusiasts that teaches a fresh therapeutic approach for a meaningful life by combining science, creativity, psychology, and insightful personal growth tools.

"Readers willing to put in the work, actively explore their experiences, and tap into their creativity will be rewarded." — Booklist

Winner, 2024 International Impact Book Award for Psychology and Self-Help

First Place, The Bookfest Awards

Winner, Psychology/Mental Health Category, 2024 International Book Awards

Winner, Book Excellence Award

The common problem in our society is precisely this: We are not as alright as we seem. Trauma, physical and mental illness, and disembodied value systems are at an all-time high across our communities. Additionally, issues of pervasive social justice imbalances, inequality for marginalized communities, and painfully charged political dynamics clearly demonstrate a large-scale desire for collective change and transformation. Society is waking up to a new reality without the shackles and numbness that have previously limited our potential. This book is the timely resource to support the expansive elevation humanity demands.

The Radiant Life Project answers the yearning for large-scale repair with the intention of mending the world by first cultivating radical wellbeing within each individual. This book teaches a fresh and accessible approach to self-healing with deep compassion, skillful expertise, and exquisite strategies for intentional progression toward improved mind-body-soul wellness.

In truth, Fine is not going to cut it. Surviving is not thriving. There is no substitute for the aliveness that follows when a person actively nurtures their inner pilot light so it can roar with brilliance. The Radiant Life Project is a groundbreaking guide for this essential inner-work that ignites inner-radiance through Kate King’s unique therapeutic approach and engaging experiential offerings. This is a unique and timely masterclass based on Kate’s over fifteen years of clinical psychotherapeutic practice and humble life learnings that combines science, psychology, spirituality, and creativity to activate powerful personal transformation. Beyond intellectual stimulation and soulful inspiration, The Radiant Life Project offers practical tools and unique exercises that will spark deep sustainable healing. For those who have experienced years of therapy and personal development without regularly feeling the resonance of freedom and joy, this book is the missing piece you’ve been looking for to supercharge your self-improvement success.

Kate King isa Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor and master’s-level nationally Board Certified and Registered Art Therapist. She is the owner and founder of The Radiant Life Project, which is a therapeutic self-help platform. She has owned and operated a thriving and well-networked private psychotherapy practice since 2010 in Denver, Colorado where she has treated close to 1000 clients. Kate uses an eclectic blend of treatment modalities in her work that are informed by art therapy, transpersonal counseling psychology, mindfulness and somatically-based practices, Internal Family Systems therapy, and clinical neuroscience. She is also a practicing artist.

In the early days of COVID, King, a clinical psychotherapist and art therapist already burned out at work, decided to step away from her practice for a four-month sabbatical leave, and promptly became sick with the virus. Out of that tumultuous experience was born the Radiant Life Project, a holistic healing practice. This book offshoot of the project guides readers to reclaim their own drive and purpose by examining their connections and relationships…. Readers willing to put in the work, actively explore their experiences, and tap into their creativity will be rewarded.

Kate offers a breadth of expertise and personal insight in The Radiant Life Project. As a fellow therapist, mom, and evolving human being, I related so much to the authenticity she radiates through her written word and believe she has so much to offer to professionals and avid readers alike. I highly recommend The Radiant Life Project to anyone who wants to delve deeper into understanding themselves and their inner world in ways not previously explored. This book is chock-full of well resourced information and inspiration!”
