The Spark That Lit This Whole Thing

Every dream starts with a spark.

In this first full episode of The Inspiritude Effect, Kathy Sherwood traces the thread from decades of quiet, private spiritual practice to the moment “Inspiritude” was named – and the path from there to this podcast.

You’ll hear where the vision began, what the name truly means, and why it refused to fade, even after early attempts didn’t quite fit. Through honest storytelling, gentle rule-breaking, and hard-won truths, Kathy reveals how years of whispers, side roads, and persistent hope came together in a space where everyone has a seat, no one is left out, and joy is part of the journey.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to create something big but weren’t sure where to begin, or if you’ve begun and had to begin again, this episode is your reminder: the first spark is worth keeping alive.

Come for the spark. Stay for the permission to follow your own way.

What is The Inspiritude Effect?

This isn’t your average self-help podcast.

The Inspiritude Effect is a spirit-infused space where big dreams, real stories, and full-hearted living collide. Hosted by Kathy Sherwood – coach, creator, and occasional rebel with a soul cause – you’ll hear the kind of conversations that remind you: your dream life isn’t silly, selfish, or out of reach. It’s sacred.

Around here, inspiration isn’t just a nice feeling – it’s a directive.

Whether you’re navigating a major life shift, launching something new, or finally ready to admit you want more, this show will help you build a life and business that actually feels like yours. You’ll get spiritual insight, practical wisdom, and plenty of good stories (some funny, some forehead-smack real).

No gatekeeping. Just full permission to follow the whisper – because it knows the way.
