Speaking
Katty Douraghy is an author, facilitator, and speaker who helps individuals and groups navigate the universal experiences of grief, hope, and growth. Inspired by her memoir The Butterfly Years: A Journey Through Grief Toward Hope, Katty shares her story with honesty and compassion, inviting audiences to reframe grief as not just an ending, but also a journey toward resilience and transformation.
Her mission is to demystify conversations around loss and bring them into the open by creating space for dialogue and connection. While Katty speaks candidly about grief, her focus is on the strength, self-discovery, and renewed purpose that can emerge from life’s most difficult seasons. She calls it TransforMEtion: having to go within to emerge as a stronger version of ourselves.
With over two decades of experience in people and culture leadership, Katty brings a unique blend of business insight and human-centered facilitation. She designs and leads retreats for boards, leadership teams, and peer forums, where she fosters safe, meaningful discussions that encourage vulnerability, trust, and growth.
Katty has been featured on numerous podcasts and stages internationally where her warmth and authenticity resonate deeply with audiences seeking inspiration, healing, and hope.
