Meet Kathy R. Smith—a powerhouse of resilience, a catalyst for transformation, and an unstoppable voice for women ready to rise.
From serving courageously for over 17 years in the U.S. Army to becoming a visionary leader in personal transformation, Kathy’s journey is a breathtaking testament to strength, perseverance, and purpose. As the Founder and CEO of Chandelier Transformations, a transformational coaching practice, and Chief Executive Officer of Chandelier Transformations Youth Mentoring (501c3), she has ignited life-changing shifts in countless lives, empowering women and youth to overcome trauma, find their voice, and rewrite their stories.
A transformational leadership strategist, organizational change agent, and John Maxwell Certified Speaker and Coach, Kathy’s voice resonates powerfully on platforms across the country. Her personal journey—as a disabled Army veteran, a fierce advocate for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and a passionate equal opportunity leader—fuels her mission. Kathy is living proof that the greatest breakthroughs often come from our deepest wounds.
Beyond her professional acclaim, Kathy is the loving wife of Retired Command Sergeant Major Anthony Smith and a devoted mother of three amazing young adults that she is extremely proud of. Her life is a story of victory—not defined by what she has survived, but celebrated for what she has built from the ashes.
Kathy is more than a mentor; she’s a lifeline for women of color and professional women navigating abuse, burnout, trauma, hostile workplaces, and identity crises. Through powerful coaching and holistic healing methods, Kathy guides them from breakdown to breakthrough, from pain to prosperity, and from surviving to thriving.
She’s an author, healer, friend, and visionary whose spirit shines brightest when serving others. Kathy enjoys meditating, exploring holistic medicine and natural remedies, savoring her beloved seafood, and embracing joyous moments with family and friends. Her life is beautifully guided by her favorite scripture, Jeremiah 29:11—“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Kathy R. Smith isn’t just changing lives—she’s creating legacies. And this is only the beginning.
