I’ve got a passion for empowering incredible women to transform their life and career!

From helping my mother with her addiction issues to becoming the first PhD in my family, I’ve learned how to cultivate courage, resilience, and happiness to achieve great things in my own life and career. 

I’m here to share my knowledge and expertise with you so that you can build your own success and walk in your purpose.

My Mission In Life

Is to help you transform your life and career. 

I firmly believe that you can have a successful life and career filled with harmony and happiness.

From Surviving To Thriving

The path to success starts with one step

But my story didn’t start off so positively…

I grew up poor, living in South Carolina projects. My mother was addicted to crack cocaine. Growing up like this wasn’t easy, and I eventually became a teenage mother. From the outside looking in, things may have seemed bleak. But for some reason, I knew there was a bigger purpose for my life.

Understanding that there was a bigger purpose for my life, I vowed that I was going to be successful. I found that success and my purpose by helping my mother navigate her drug addiction. That eventually turned into a passion for helping other women navigate their challenges in life. 

Success is a Mindset,
Happiness is a Choice

Like many of you, I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and stuck, trying to keep all the plates spinning. Your career is a ladder that demands constant climbing, but sometimes it seems there is no end in sight, and sometimes it seems the higher you get, the more guilt or anxiety you feel.

While conducting my PhD research, running two businesses, having a toddler and pregnant with a baby on the way, this feeling rang true for me. I love my work, it fulfils me, but mom guilt is real. Add to that wife guilt, daughter guilt, friend guilt. The list is endless! This is why I stress to truly be successful in our life and careers we must focus on finding harmony and not balance. 

Purpose-led Women
Choose Happiness

Mindset is everything, and effective strategies are at the core of my coaching programs and resources. Through my programs, resources, and speaking engagements, I provide practical guidance and evidence-based tools and strategies to help purpose-led women like you transform your life and career, cultivate harmony, build resilience, and find true fulfilment.

Together, we will break down barriers, shatter glass ceilings, and tap into our strengths, purpose, and leadership capabilities to create our own happiness and lead with joy. By embracing challenges and opportunities and finding harmony, we can build lives that are both fulfilling and impactful.

Transform Your Life and Career

My coaching style is a unique blend of compassion and action. I understand that everyone has their own unique journey and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to success and fulfilment. That’s why I offer a mix of group coaching and courses designed to meet each person where they are and help them get on the right track.

I also host the podcast, The Dr. Kiki Ramsey Show, and provide speaking offerings that are designed to provide actionable strategies and inspiration for audiences that want to achieve greater work-life happiness, success and diversity. Whether you read Get Courageous Now, listen to one of my motivational videos on YouTube, invest in one of my amazing courses or hop in one of my mentor coaching groups, my goal is to provide the tools and support you need to create the life you truly want.
