Welcome to Sensitive Change Makers — the podcast for highly sensitive people (HSPs), introverted entrepreneurs, and purpose-led leaders ready to break free from overwhelm, build confidence, and take aligned action in life and business.
I'm Kate Carter — trauma-informed coach, HSP, introvert, and teacher turned passionate coach and mentor for sensitive souls. After decades of living with anxiety and panic attacks, I finally discovered how to transform sensitivity into a superpower — and now I help other introverts and HSPs do the same.
Each week, I share empowering conversations, mindset shifts, and practical coaching tools to support you in creating a life and business that truly fit you.
Whether you're navigating stress, fear of visibility, or feeling stuck playing small, this podcast is here to help you reconnect with your gifts, lead with authenticity, and create success on your own terms.
If you're ready to stop second-guessing yourself, release anxiety, and step confidently into a life of purpose, intention, and joy — you're in the right place.

Sensitive Change Makers: Coaching for HSPs, Introverts & Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurs and Leaders
S3, Ep 36: Katherine Robinette: The Power of Clear, Kind, and Convicted Leadership
This week on Sensitive Change Makers, I’m joined by the brilliant Katherine Robinette - a strategist, speaker, and President of Keystone & Raven. Katherine has spent three decades watching smart people turn change into a battle - and she’s done being diplomatic about it. She’s known for cutting through corporate red tape with clarity, trust, connection, and agency, helping companies believe in what they’re building again, and that’s when the real transformation begins.
Our conversation goes deep fast, exploring what really happens when sensitivity meets strategy, and why being clear might just be the kindest form of leadership there is.
We talk about:
- What it really means to be highly sensitive — and how Katherine first recognised her own sensitivity
- Reconnecting to intuition after years of leaning on intellect and analysis
- The art of clear and kind communication (and why “nice” isn’t the same as kind)
- How to have difficult conversations with empathy and integrity
- Katherine’s “Conviction Transformation” framework — and why the next evolution of business must be people-focused
- The six dynamics of conviction
- Why treating people like they’re amazing is the most effective leadership strategy there is
If you’ve ever felt caught between intellect and intuition - or wondered how to bring more authenticity into the way you lead and communicate -this episode is for you.
