About Kim

Hi, I'm Kim Winner.

And if you're here, I'm guessing you're really good at showing up for everyone else.

Your team. Your clients. Your family. Your calendar full of other people's priorities.

You're the woman who gets things done — and you do it well.

But somewhere between all of that showing up... you stopped showing up for yourself.

Maybe it happened so gradually you didn't even notice.
Maybe you told yourself it was just a season.
Maybe you convinced yourself that taking care of everyone else *was* taking care of yourself.

I know that story. Because for a long time, it was mine too.

My story starts long before the pulmonary embolism.

It starts at 15 — with disordered eating and a body I didn't trust and a relationship with food that quietly ran my life for years.

Then in my 20s, something shifted.

I met fitness icon Cory Everson when she opened a gym in my hometown. And in one moment, she changed everything.

She looked out at a room full of women and asked: "Who here skipped breakfast because you thought it would make you skinny?"

I'll never forget that moment. She wasn't shaming us. She was waking us up.

I hung on every word. I went back the next year and got to tell her she'd saved my life. We hugged. We cried. And I stepped into the fitness and nutrition world for good — finally understanding that taking care of my body wasn't punishment. It was power.

But knowing something and living it are two very different things.

Fast forward a few years — and I became a mom.

Then a mom of two. Then three.

For almost 27 years, my boys have been my world. I built my personal training career around their schedules, paused it when it wasn't working, picked it back up, put it back down — always making sure they had what they needed first.

I kept a positive face. I stayed strong for them. I made sure they never felt like a burden — because they never were.

But quietly? I was exhausted.

I was putting everyone first and somewhere along the way I became the last person on my own list.

I told myself I'd take better care of myself "later."
When they were older.
When things slowed down.
When life gave me a little more room.

My body didn't wait for later.

The moment everything changed.

For six months I had a headache every single day.

Six months of waking up exhausted. Six months of pushing through. Six months of telling myself I was fine — because that's what we do, right?

I finally gave myself permission to go to the doctor.

"Permission." To see a doctor. For six months of daily headaches.

That word says everything.

What they found stopped me cold.

A pulmonary embolism.

A blood clot in my lungs. The kind that can kill you.

And in that moment — sitting in that office, hearing those words — one thought cut through everything else:

"If this kills me, my boys won't have their mom."

Not "I need to get healthy."
Not "I should take better care of myself."

My boys won't have their mom.

That was my plot twist.

Not a gradual mindset shift. Not a slow awakening.

A moment where my body looked me in the eye and said: "you are not optional."

Taking care of myself wasn't selfish.
It was the most important thing I could do for every single person I loved.

That's why I do this work.

I'm not here because I read about burnout in a book.

I'm here because I lived it. I nearly paid the ultimate price for it. And I came out the other side understanding something I want every woman in your position to know:

You cannot pour from empty. And waiting until later is a luxury your body may not give you.

You are a high-achieving woman. You know how to work hard. You know how to show up. You know how to push through.

What you might not know yet — is how to do all of that "and" put yourself on the list too.

That's exactly what I'm here to help you figure out.

Not with a program that asks you to overhaul your life.
Not with a meal plan that doesn't fit your schedule.
Not with guilt, or shame, or starting over every Monday.

With a way of living that finally works for the life you actually have.

For almost 30 years, I've helped women rebuild their relationship with their bodies and themselves.

I've sat with women who were exhausted, disconnected, and running on fumes — and watched them come home to themselves.

I know what it takes.
I know what gets in the way.
And I know that the woman reading this right now is more than capable of her own plot twist.

You just need someone who gets it — and knows how to help.

Come find me on Instagram and LinkedIn — I share real, practical strategies for high-achieving women who are ready to stop putting themselves last.
