Meet KG!

1. Who are you, what's the name of your business and where are you located?

I’m Karyn, some people call me KG. I’m the owner of The Sun Collective and I’m currently located in Richmond, VA

2. Why self-love coaching?

On my own journey I’ve discovered the importance of healing, learning, and growing in love with oneself and I want others to be able to experience the healing and genuine love for themselves

3. What's the hardest part about your job?

That’s tough, I love coaching it’s my purpose and passion. So, finding a hard part? Hm, maybe having to utilize social media as a business tool. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming especially when I can tell I’m in need of mental break from the constant access of various apps

Also, sometimes remembering it’s okay to show up even when everything isn’t perfect or I’m having stuff come up personally. I'm human, I’m a human that is also a Self-Love Coach and both are valid parts of my existence.

4. Who is your target audience?

My target audience is women in their mid to late 20s to mid-late 30s that are content with life but feel like something is missing. They are currently struggling with not feeling motivated and are searching for a deeper meaning to life. They want to create a life of purpose but they either are unsure where to start, don’t feel worthy of their dreams, are afraid to take a chance or feel as if it is impossible. These women have entered a time in their life where they realize they struggle with loving themselves authentically and would like to be given tools to heal any past trauma, grow, and ultimately change their lives by addressing issues that they’ve previously ignored and releasing people, thoughts, and ways of being that no longer serve them.

5. Do you work as a team or independently?

Independently.

6. Are deposits required? What's your cancellation policy?

At this time no, there is no deposit required. However, this will be changing shortly. Also, payment or the first payment is due two weeks prior to our session start date.

Cancellations must be made with a minimum of 24 hours in order to ensure that sessions can be accommodated for a reschedule.

7. Could you tell us about a typical working day for you?

A typical workday for me includes content creation for my social media page, anything from reels, lives, quotes, pictures, posting stories. I then take time to review notes from client sessions and reach out as needed to do weekly check-ins, provide journal prompts, and plan for the next session. I will also take any Breakthrough calls with potential clients and get an idea of what it is they’re struggling with by reviewing their pre-session forms and making notes - including possible suggestions prior to the meeting. These sessions last 45 minutes. If it is a day, I have a coaching session I meet with clients for an hour. During this hour we discuss anything the client would like and work through the self-love roadmap, sessions could include an activity, and then some type of follow up activity for the next session.

8. What systems of applications do you work with?

Website: Milkshake App, Booking/Calendar: Calendly, Sessions: Zoom, social media: Instagram, TikTok (still building), and will expand to other platforms.

9. What is your favorite place to travel to?

My favorite, probably Mexico, been there a bunch lol

10. When was the last time you took a day for self-care?

I can’t remember a day, but I try to do some type of self-care every day.

11. Do you travel, does the client come to you or do you meet online?

All sessions at this time are held online via zoom.

12. What are your typical work hours and days?

As of now, my typical work hours are evenings 6-8 M-Thurs. and 9-12 Sat-Sun.

13. Tell us about your journals and card decks?

My journals are available on Amazon for purchase. They provide repeated guided prompts to help the consumer create a routine around either finding gratitude or self-love daily. My card deck “Finding Gratitude” is a deck of 44 cards. Each card features both a gratitude prompt and a gratitude quote. My goal with all of these tools is help the consumer become more aware of their thoughts around what they have and how they feel about themselves and assist with shifting their mindset to one of abundance. The deck is available for purchase through makeplayingcards.com. Both of which can be found through my website

14. What are your rates?

I offer 3- and 6-month coaching options. 3 months start at $ 777 and 6 month $1111. However, there are both monthly and biweekly payment options are available.

Also, I offer Self-Love Accountability Coaching - The initial planning session at this time is $65 with subsequent sessions being $35 more information is available on my site.

15. How do you stay grounded? What are your routines for selfcare?

I have a routine but it’s flexible. I do my best to include moments of reflection upon waking, journaling, mindful movement, and getting out in nature. Nature is key to me staying grounded at times.

16. What is your favorite quote?

It’s a toss-up between “Everything is possible” and “To err is human, to forgive divine.” The latter has taken on a different meaning since I’ve come to understand the importance of self-forgiveness.

17. What payment methods are accepted?

I accept Zelle is preferred but I also accept Cashapp, and PayPal.

18. How soon can I expect a response once I inquire about your services?

Within 24 hours of the message being received. Usually, a lot less with the exception of holidays and weekends which will be addressed no later than the next business day.

19. How does the customer rate or review you?

Do you have surveys where the customer can rate their level of satisfaction? I have a survey that I send out after the breakthrough session and another at the end of program.

20. What is your favorite part about the work you do?

My favorite part is seeing others make connections between current behaviors, thoughts, ideologies, etc., and experiences of the past. Therefore, setting the groundwork for choosing to respond different moving forward.

21. What have you learned about promoting your business online?

It’s require consistency and dedication even when I’m not seeing results. There will be times when things will reach far and others. Throughout it all I never know when one post, one video will reach the intended person and aligning so that we can work together.
