About Catherine Bronnert DeSchepper

I belong…

  • Laughing and cooking with my life partner of almost 25 years and my two young adult children
  • In my communities of practice with white people unlearning racism, in multiracial circles centering Adlerian Social Justice, and in my shame-naming circle centering Brené Brown’s work
  • On the beach and amidst the redwoods
  • By myself in meditation and spiritual practice
  • When I’m dancing with others
  • Sharing food and laughing with my friends and extended community

If you wish to partner with a coach who shares more aspects of your identity, please reach out and I will connect you with some of my collaborators.

 

I am…

  • A mother, daughter, sister, aunt, life-partner, coach, facilitator, healer and teacher
  • A white cisgender, straight, currently able-bodied, woman of European and Persian ancestry who was raised by straight and queer parents
  • Parenting two queer children who are now 18 and 21
  • An Adult Third Culture Kid who grew up in Hong Kong, Singapore and on the East Coast
  • A dual citizen of the USA and UK who attended British schools until I was 11
