More about Kayla
Who I am professionally: I have a background in Corporate leadership as a Senior Executive Assistant for large companies in the Treasure Valley for over two decades. I am also the CEO and Founder of Hopes Highways, empowering others to empower themselves and published author of A Day of Hope, how one day a month can transform your life and reclaim forgotten hope.
My people: My fiancé Don and our blended family and my children Aeriel, Trevor, and granddaughter Ariyah are my heart and soul. I also rely and my extended family and friends who are priceless.
I’m good at: My strengths are Maximizer and Achiever, rooted in organization. I also believe that broken moments can become beautiful new beginnings. I love helping others realize the hope already inside them.
I’m scared of: Spiders, I would break my leg to get away from a spider. I am also afraid of leaving this earth school without a legacy of hope for others to follow, but I am working on that every day.
My favorite self-care: My favorite form of self-care is my Day of Hope. A full 24 hours each month where I step away from the noise of life and reconnect with myself. It’s a sacred pause I created years ago during a season of overwhelm, and it has become my anchor ever since.
My hobbies: A cozy candle and journal, scrapbook.
