Through the voice of personal experience, Kathryn Lackey arose a visionary of what a woman’s design for life can achieve toward her true purpose as she sheds the shame of a partner's addiction. Kathryn is a seasoned designer and entrepreneur who discovered design therapy in a mere survival job following the revelation of her husband’s double life of sexual addiction. In a culture that falls prey to the lucrative temptations of a global sex industry, she shares the negative consequences on relationships through her private journey of a marriage and family shattered as the details of his hidden addiction unraveled. Her story personifies the debilitations and struggles of trauma toward his incarceration and death through the memoir of her experience. Most importantly, her metamorphosis of healing unveils hidden transformation to find forgiveness through knowledge and unleash new opportunities for joy and purpose. Her vision is to now support women to grow through their trauma, relinquish addiction’s shame, and design God's intention for a new life of abundance and victory.

Kathryn is the Founder & Creative Lead of Heart of the Home Styling & Designs, and a Journalism alumni of the Univ. of South Carolina. While defining design as her passion, she considers her greatest love and accomplishment her two children raised alone following trauma and loss from a partner's addiction. In 2024 as she again rejoins her family in Dallas, she adores time with her family and friends, self-care and exercise, volunteer ministry and collaborating with other women who believe God has a plan for their life and business. As she now debuts her personal story of healing, she continues to tweak her life's vision, design for her business, and God's journey for her messages of hope through her books.
