Kate Boyer is a stunt woman and actor based in Los Angeles — a career she built from scratch, driving cross-country with everything she owned and a vision she couldn't shake. She has spent over a decade doing the thing most people only imagine: visualizing an outcome, confronting the fear, and going anyway. She's also beginning to channel that practice into work with other artists — helping them get clear on their next move. A conversation about what it actually feels like to run toward something you're afraid of, and what's waiting on the other side.
Kate Boyer is a Los Angeles-based stunt woman and actor who has built her career one leap at a time — literally. She grew up in Philadelphia with an explorer's mindset, found her way to martial arts young, and eventually packed everything into a Honda Civic and drove cross-country with a vision. What she found on the other side of that move became the foundation of a decade-plus career in film and television, doubling for actors and executing the kind of work that demands total trust in yourself and the people around you.
Kathryn has known Kate through their shared world as actors, and has watched up close what it looks like to build a self-led life in one of the most uncertain industries there is. This conversation is about the posture you have to take to do that — not waiting for the golden ticket, but deciding what the next move is and going. Kate is beginning to bring that practice to other artists, helping them find the clarity to do the same.
