Kim Kelleher: Prepare for the Plan to Change

from Step into the Pivot · host Theresa Conti & Ivana Polonijo

Despite having regular mammograms and being previously told she had benign fibrocystic breast tissue, Kim received news that would change everything. The confusion of conflicting test results and constantly changing treatment plans taught her what would become her mantra: "Prepare for the plan to change." This wisdom carried her through surgery, chemotherapy, and the difficult decisions that followed. Kim's transformation was ‘pivoted’ into an opportunity learning to prioritize her own needs and desires after a lifetime of people-pleasing.The ripple effects of this mindset shift have touched every area of Kim's life. At 58, she joined a business partnership, embracing uncertainty and opportunity with newfound confidence. She's developed a passion for health and wellness, researching mitochondrial function and metabolic health with the awareness that none of us is invincible. Most importantly, she's learned to put herself first – to do what brings her joy before tackling obligations.Guest Bio:Kim Kelleher is a Luminary at Luma Accounting, a bookkeeping/accounting firm (no tax!) committed to helping small- and medium-sized businesses gain clarity around their finances.  Luma’s “secret sauce” is the blending of accounting, technology and process - this gives clients not only the accounting support they need, but also helps identify opportunities for innovation through technology and processes changes.  The firm was born from the merger between Kim and her business partner Heather Deibele - they found they shared the same values and both craved collaboration.  Together, they built a 100% remote, work-on-your-own-time and highly collaborative model designed to support US-based women seeking flexible but meaningful work.Now at Luma, Kim is focused on ensuring the firm’s mission of BEST.
