Who is Kat?

From stepping onto a stage at 10 years old to stepping out of a decade-long abusive relationship, Kat Polsinelli’s journey is one of resilience and transformation. Now a sought-after speaker, bestselling co-author, and host of Real Chat with Kat—a top 10% globally ranked podcast airing on four radio stations and 2 public TV stations—she is on a mission to shed light on the unseen wounds of emotional and psychological abuse while empowering others to reclaim their strength.

A survivor of domestic violence, PTSD, and single motherhood at 16, Kat speaks with raw honesty about the lasting impact of trauma, the power of boundaries, and how self-worth plays a critical role in healing. Through her personal story of leaving and rebuilding, she challenges audiences to rethink what they know about abusive relationships, fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities survivors face.

Kat’s powerful voice has made her a sought-after speaker for colleges, healthcare professionals, and law enforcement, equipping them with the knowledge to support survivors and create meaningful change. She has been featured in NashvilleVoyager, CanvasRebel, and Her Nation and has taken the stage at universities, domestic violence awareness events, and criminal justice panels. With a no-nonsense approach and a compassionate heart, Kat sparks conversations, challenges perspectives, and brings light to even the darkest moments.
