JT has a TBR stack of books that might surmount the tower of babel. One look at the GPS on his phone suggests his time is divided between gardening, composing music for film and television, teaching literature, hanging out with his three dogs and six chickens, and reading and studying in his recliner. 
Now a resident of Austin, Texas JT spent his childhood in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. He later moved to Chicago and California before settling into Austin. Though Austin is super hot the move from Chicago's bitter cold winters over a decade ago still has him thawing out. 
A bit indecisive JT decided to not study only one area but instead pursued college and postgrad degrees in English, Religion, and Philosophy of Education. He is currently in graduate school again slowly eeking his way toward a PhD. in Clinical Psychology. He ultimately hopes no one notices that he stays in school indefinitely.

Kate grew up in Southern California. Except for one incredible year in Austin, Texas in her early twenties, she’s been quite settled and content in the land of sun, sand, and surf. With a degree in Health Science and Health Coaching and a plethora of certifications in Personal Training, Integrative Nutrition, Meditation and Breathwork, Kate is a Holistic Practitioner and Coach with an emphasis on mindfulness, self-awareness, self-healing, nervous system regulation, and holistic spirituality.

Kate’s work, though founded on education is most inspired and impacted by her own healing journey from trauma, managing anxiety, fear, and learning the art of self-love and acceptance. 

She enjoys surfing, obsessively. When the surf won't break she also enjoys long walks in her neighborhood, writing in her journal by candlelight, reading books - everything from science to spirituality, yoga, and rewatching her favorite tv shows in bed while eating pizza.
