Hi, my name is 

Kayleigh Öğüt

I am a Midwestern, American living in Ankara, Turkey. My passion is to create spaces where we can be ourselves in a world that can feel so foreign.

I know what it feels like to feel foreign -- both in the world and inside of myself. Now I am on a mission to teach about the power of being present with ourselves, our loved ones and with our lives. Small moments of presence give us the tools to overcome the feeling of being small, unimportant -- foreign. 

My work began years ago as I found myself on a journey of healing, discovery and exploration. I worked with children in theatre spaces and learned the importance of having a curious and imaginative spirit. My passions led me to health coaching, and I've spent the last 5 years helping women set down the chaos, and step into ease, gratitude, and choice-making. 

Now, I live abroad with my husband in Ankara, Turkey. I create content sharing my journey of creating home in a foreign land, impact my community with my Embolden Her Women's Group, and I aim to spread the lessons I've learned to all who are ready to embrace their lives instead of tumble their way through it.
