Kat Finnerty, known as the “Master of Disaster,” was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at just 24. Undeterred, she embarked on a 20-year journey of self-healing, enduring near-death experiences and gaining insights through Buddhism, yoga, and the transformative power of the mind. Today, as the best-selling author of Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste and an inspiring international speaker, Kat shares her hard-earned wisdom to empower others. From the shores of Vanuatu, she leads transformative wellness retreats, helping people break free from suffering and embrace resilience in life’s challenges.

In this captivating episode of Culture Shapers, we explore Kat’s extraordinary journey of turning adversity into strength. Diagnosed with a debilitating disease and faced with personal and physical crises, Kat refused to let challenges define her. Overcoming her husband’s betrayal in just 12 hours, she developed her “12 Principles”—a framework that empowered her to transcend betrayal, illness, and despair, achieving mastery over her circumstances.
