What if the woman who almost lost everything is exactly the guide you've been searching for?
For the exhausted, overwhelmed midlife woman who is quietly wondering if she will ever feel like herself again, you are in exactly the right place.
I see you, and I know exactly how this season feels. But I'm here to tell you this isn't your ending because you're not broken. This is just a new chapter, and you get to rewrite it however you want it to look.
You are the woman who keeps showing up for everyone else even when your body is begging you to stop. You are managing the appointments, handling the details, caring for the people you love, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, you stopped recognizing yourself.
Maybe you're waking up exhausted no matter how much you sleep. Or your body feels inflamed, unpredictable, and foreign to you. Maybe you've tried everything and still feel stuck, depleted, & quietly terrified that this is just what the rest of your life looks like. It's not. I promise.
You are not failing, lazy, or broken. You are depleted. And depleted requires a completely different kind of care than anything you have tried before.
I know this because I lived it. And what I found on the other side of the hardest season of my life is exactly what I built this work around.
You've spent years taking care of everyone else. It's about time someone helped you take care of yourself.
I began chemotherapy, and after five of eight scheduled rounds, my oncologist stopped treatment due to elevated liver enzymes. My body was already in crisis. By the end of May, I could barely get out of bed. I could not put on my own shoes. I could not walk without help.
Hey friend,
I'm Kim Secrist.
I help exhausted midlife women restore their energy, rebuild their strength, and reconnect with themselves through a whole-body framework that was born not in a classroom, but in a hospital bed.
In January of 2022, at a routine urologist visit, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 bladder cancer. No risk factors. Non-smoker. Healthy eater. Lifelong fitness enthusiast. My doctor was baffled. So was I.
What followed was one of the most physically and emotionally devastating seasons of my life.
And then on Memorial Day Weekend, I was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a condition that can destroy your kidneys & cause permanent disability or death.
Within weeks, I couldn't stand from a seated position, and needed help around the clock, and was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease.
I spent 28 days at KU Medical Center. Then nine days in inpatient rehab. Then months of outpatient physical therapy, home health, occupational therapy, and slowly, painstakingly learning how to do the things most people do without thinking, shower, dress, walk up a step, open a jar.
I went from deadlifting 160 pounds and outrunning women half my age at Orange Theory to needing two occupational therapists just to help me stand up and brush my teeth.
And through all of it, through the cancer, the chemo, the autoimmune diagnosis, the hospital stays, the walker, the tears, my faith in God never wavered.
If anything, it deepened in ways I cannot fully put into words. This season built my faith, strengthened my prayer life, and showed me in a very personal way what it means to surrender, trust, and rebuild.
Today, I am in remission. I am cancer free. I am back in the gym, lifting weights, walking Tucker my lab through the neighborhood, cooking and baking in my kitchen, and living the life I prayed for from that hospital bed.
Beyond my lived experience, I bring certifications and training in whole-body wellness, nervous system regulation, and restorative health practices specifically for women in midlife.
I have studied the intersection of stress physiology, hormonal health, inflammation, autoimmune wellness, and sustainable nutrition, and I have filtered all of it through the lens of a woman who has had to apply every single principle to her own body in the most real and high-stakes way possible through my One24 Method.
I built Rooted & Resilient so that no one has to figure out how to rebuild herself alone.
I'm the woman who was lying in the hospital wondering if she'd ever make it out, and rebuilt herself stronger than before.
And I'm here to make dang sure this next chapter of your life, is better than the first. Because I know that age, struggles, and hardships don't define us, they give us wisdom to take into the next season of life, and a super power that becomes our advantage.
And that is why the women I work with trust me.
I AM NOT THE POLISHED EXPERT WITH THOUSANDS OF CREDENTIALS AND MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS.

But don't just take my word for it...
"I feel more like myself today than I have in years, and finally understand what my body has been trying to tell me."
I came to Kim feeling like I had tried absolutely everything and nothing worked. What I did not realize was that I had never been given a framework that actually addressed the emotional and physiological reality of what I was carrying. Kim changed that completely.

"I kept telling myself I would focus on my health once things slowed down. Kim helped me realize I needed to care for myself inside the life I'm currently living in."
I am a caregiver for both my mom and my mother-in-law, and I have three adult kids I am still emotionally very involved with. I kept telling myself I would focus on my health once things slowed down. Kim helped me realize that things were never going to slow down. What changed was learning how to take care of myself inside of the life I'm currently living in. The One24 Method gave me that. I feel calmer, clearer, and genuinely more capable than I have in years.

A FEW THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME
Let's be friends.
Because people work with people, not credentials. And I'm not a perfect wellness person. I'm a real one. So let's make sure I'm your kind of people.
With our labrador splashing around in the water, and the people I love close by. A big fireworks show over the lake on the 4th of July. This is my slice of Heaven on Earth.
I love to be out on the lake in the summer with the sunshine on my face.
I love to cook. Deeply, genuinely love it.
One of the first signs I was getting better after my hospital stays was when I started daydreaming about getting back into my kitchen. The day I finally stood at my own stove and made a meal again is one I will never forget.
I believe in turning your tests into your testimony.
I also believe that the best guide is not the one who has never struggled. It is the one who has walked through the hard thing, found a sustainable way forward, and wants the same for you.
This work was born in the hardest season of my life, and God was present in every moment of it. In every answered prayer, every unexpected healing, every morning I woke up stronger than the day before. I believe your body has the capacity to restore because I have lived that truth firsthand.
My faith is not a footnote in my story. It's the center of it.
He drove me three hours to the hospital in the middle of the night. He sat through 90-minute neurology appointments taking notes so I would not miss anything.
He has seen me at my weakest and loved me through every single moment. Our life together, our faith, and the support of our family and friends are the foundation everything else is built on.
