CABARETS + STORY-DRIVEN PERFORMANCES

A keynote can make people think differently.
A cabaret can make them feel it.

If a rock concert, a motivational keynote, a Netflix special, and a pep rally had a baby, it would be a WANT YOUR SELF Cabaret.

Looking for something unique and engaging for your audience that goes way beyond another talk?

Katie’s signature WANT YOUR SELF Cabarets bring self-talk to the stage through story, music, humor, and practical takeaways — turning the work of change into something audiences can laugh with, recognize themselves in, and remember.

A FULL-BODY EXPERIENCE

Part performance, part keynote, and part communal exhale, each cabaret turns the inner work of shifting self-talk into something immediate, memorable, unexpected, and fun.

Through personal stories, songs, and takeaways people can use long after the final note, Katie creates a room where people can laugh, reflect, and view the voice in their head a little differently. Think of it like this: if a rock concert, a motivational keynote, a Netflix special, and a pep rally had a baby, it would be a WANT YOUR SELF Cabaret.

Each cabaret includes:

  • A full four-piece band with supporting vocalists, including both Broadway/NYC artists and local talent to elevate the community

  • Visual elements and audience participation

  • Recognizable Top 40, pop, rock, alternative, and Broadway songs

  • Custom parody numbers and mash-ups tailored to each cabaret

  • Clear CTAs for the audience aligned with each cabaret’s goal and messaging

SIGNATURE CABARETS

WANT YOUR SELF
A SELF-TALK CABARET

“I’m not good enough.” “Not smart enough.” “Not talented enough.”

We all do it. Belittling who we are, what we do, what we stand for — often without realizing it. And it's stuck on a loop.

Based on her debut book of the same name, WANT YOUR SELF: A Self-Talk Cabaret is a joyful and empowering call to action for anyone who wants to change the world — and is willing to do the not-easy-but-oh-so-right work of changing their own world first.In this show, you’ll dive deep into ways to shift your self-talk internally, how to practice that new language externally, and what to do when the world feels like too much to handle and that negative self-talk is most likely to show up. Featuring a hefty dose of Top 40 pop and rock, musical theatre, and forgotten deep cuts, Katie combines her signature style of ease, humor, and inclusivity to guide you through the journey of shifting your self-talk in a real, lasting way.

EMBRACE THE CRINGE
FINDING FULFILLMENT IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYTHING IS EMBARRASSING

This seemingly superficial concept is anything but.

Joyful, cathartic, and unexpectedly moving, EMBRACE THE CRINGE dives jelly-sandals-first into the emotional depth, humor, and wisdom held in the things we find embarrassing. It dispels the myths of coolness, fitting in, “fake it ‘til you make it,” and more — redefining the zeitgeisty concept of “cringe” as a core component of reaching fulfillment.

Through a mix of mindset coaching, personal storytelling, recognizable songs (everything from ‘90s hits to Disney parodies), and cultural callbacks, EMBRACE THE CRINGE argues that cringe isn’t something you need to survive or endure, but something that connects you to others and yourself. Above all, it encourages you to stop holding back — and start fully participating in a life that’s of your own creation.

(Can also be performed as Millennial Cringe for a Millennial-centered audience)
