Change is inevitable.
It’s what you do with it that matters.
Be Essential guides you through change with direction and purpose. We offer self-guided frameworks, high-impact sessions, and immersive experiences for people navigating change and leaders shaping what’s next.
At a time when systems are breaking down and truth feels slippery, Be Essential exists to build a world where change leads to clarity, not confusion - and where what we create reflects what truly matters.
Tools, guidance, and community to meet you where you are and support where you’re going.
Kate Atwood is someone who’s never been afraid to walk straight into life’s biggest questions and invite others to come with her. She began this path by founding Kate’s Club, a nationally recognized nonprofit supporting children and families through grief. What started as a personal mission became a national movement, helping reframe grief as a shared human experience.
Kate has spent two decades building what didn’t yet exist and bringing people together around what truly matters, helping individuals, communities, and systems move through change with conviction and heart.
Through Be Essential, she’s weaving it all together, sharing the tools, spaces, and practices that have shaped her own path so we can remember what truly matters and build what comes next.
This is not just a platform. It’s a growing movement shaped by the journey itself. All are welcome here.
