WHAT IF YOU COULD TRUST THAT YOUR EMOTIONS ARE LEADING YOU TO YOUR DREAM LIFE?
Your feelings aren’t obstacles—they’re your roadmap towards clarity, fulfillment, and the life you’re meant to create. That restlessness? It’s there for a reason…
Let’s follow it—together and watch your emotions turn into insight, action, and transformation.
WELCOME TO MY WORLD
I show you how to recreate YOURSELF AND FINALLY LIVE LIFE ON YOUR TERMS.
You did everything “right.” You followed the rules, checked all the boxes, and chased what the world promised would make you happy… yet here you are, wondering, “Is this it?”
Deep down, you crave something more—a life and work that feel deeply connected to your authentic self, to your ideas, your vision, and the unique version of you that’s been hiding. It’s not the physical “doing” that’s missing — IT’S YOU! You’ve been hiding the best version of yourself. The version that has solutions, insights, and creativity, but has been too scared to share it. Hiding might feel safer, but it’s also why life feels so disconnected, leaving you unfulfilled both personally and professionally.
That’s where I come in. I’m Katie Gosse, founder and creative director of ContemplatingKatie. My products, services, and content help you reconnect with that hidden, brilliant version of yourself in a safe and confident way. You’ll feel less alone and more like yourself than you ever have; shining bright and radiant with inner confidence. My 15+ years as a social worker and psychotherapist, alongside 2 time successful entrepreneur is what sets me apart - I guide you to uncover your ideas, vision, and creativity—and translate them into real life results and transformations.
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”

ANDREA CRISP
Author, Speaker and Coach
“Katie is an absolute dream to work with—thoughtful, driven, and genuinely inspiring.
Her curiosity and creativity shine through in everything she does, as she fearlessly explores ideas beyond the imaginable. With strength and grace, she holds space for both herself and others, fostering an environment of openness, growth, and possibility.”
CHERIE FAUSE-SMITH
Author & Coach
“Katie creates the kind of space every heart longs for - safe, warm, and deeply supportive.
With her calm grounded presence and inviting guidance, I felt held and heard. I was able to write from a place of truth, without overthinking or judgement as I was given the freedom to express myself without fear or filter. I left Katie’s workshop lighter, more connected to myself, and reminded that healing begins when we feel truly seen. She has a gift for making people feel safe to show up with their whole heart reminding them that their voice matters.”
DANIEL CUESTA
Writer, Dance & Traveler
“Katie’s approach, backed by a decade’s worth of mental health expertise + her passion for healing through writing, resonated with me.
She encouraged me to get comfortable with discomfort, guiding me to explore my vulnerabilities. From the first moment, it was clear Katie had crafted the workshop with genuine care and thoughtful intention.
I am super grateful for Katie’s work, and I recommend Katie’s workshops to anyone seeking a community space where vulnerability leads to healing and genuine connection. Katie isn’t just organizing a writing workshop—she’s building a community where you come together with others to share your journeys and realize that even in our most messy, raw honest moments, we are never truly alone.”
I’m Katie,
a therapist-turned-creative
A woman in her late 30’s, rebuilding her life from the inside out.
From the outside, everything looked perfect. I had a thriving business, a beautiful condo in downtown Toronto, and all the markers of success. But behind the scenes? I was exhausted—burnt out and questioning everything.
So, I let it all go. No plan, no safety net—just a deep knowing that something had to change.It was the most painful—and the most liberating journey of my life.
Through it, I faced hard truths, healed childhood trauma, and reconnected with my God-given identity. Now, I’m learning to live life the way I want to co-collaborating with God designing services and products to help you feel more connected and attuned to yourself. My hope is to inspire and empower you to make important and helpful changes in your life no longer fearing change or regretting your past.
With a suitcase, a journal, and a deep belief that healing is both sacred and messy, I’ve committed to following my intuition and unapologetically chasing joy (after all my name means Pure Joy!)
I started ContemplatingKatie as a space to explore emotional healing, creative expression as therapy, reinventing yourself in your 30s (and beyond), and what it really means to live life de-influenced from the world and others… doing it on your own terms.
Whether you’re frozen in fear, curious about what’s possible, or ready to make bold, intentional changes—my hope is that my journey reminds you:
You’re not too late. And you’re not alone.

CONTENT THAT RESONATES
I create content that matters—so you know you’re not crazy… you’re human. Just like me.
With expert knowledge in trauma and psychological healing, I give language to the chaos, the emotions, the healing, and the quiet hope that come with being painfully—and beautifully—human.
Through personal writings, poetry, reels, and videos, I help make sense of the noise so you can find clarity.
In my words, you’ll recognize pieces of yourself and receive comfort coupled with a gentle challenge, and a powerful reminder that you’re not alone—
and that the world needs your unique passion and energy.
