01 / Music
Kerry sings out front, Pauly Six plays guitar, and every song is one of their own. They play jump blues, swing, rockabilly and vintage rock and roll. The band has taken five Colorado Blues Society awards and a number one on the Roots Music Report.
Hear the band→02 / Art
Kerry paints in Alcântara, in the shadow of the 25 de Abril bridge. Her work features bold retromodern geometry, saturated mid-century color blocks, and the stoic architecture of a city at 3am, drawing heavily from a life of shape-shifting, travel and lived experience.
See the work→03 / Coaching
Built on twenty-five years of client work with women seeking a reset, Kerry’s six-chapter framework grew out of real-world experience. She rebuilt her own life many times when change was necessary, and she has helped countless others do the same.

The through-line
Kerry started coaching in the late 1990s, years before anyone called it an industry. She built a practice in Denver working with artists, founders, restaurant owners and designers, people whose inner life and working life were the same life and who needed somebody who understood that.
In 2013 she stopped. She had more living to do before she could keep talking about it, so she spent the next decade fronting rock bands around the country and finding her way to the canvas.
She has answered every question in that book herself, on paper, at the lowest point of her life.
Then she moved to Lisbon at sixty and it took everything she had: a narcissistic relationship, immigration paperwork that drained the accounts, and a body that stopped cooperating. She got back the way she knew how, with a pen and paper and the same six questions she had been asking clients for decades, this time asked of herself.

02 On moving to Lisbon, and what reinvention costs June 2026Everyone leaves this version out. What it actually took, in money, paperwork and nerve, to start again at fifty-eight.
03 The question that changed everything for me June 2026One sentence she asked herself at the lowest point, and why she now asks every client the same thing.

Kerry works as a life guide and a coach. She has spent twenty-five years sitting with people through divorce, illness, grief and the slow realization that a life stopped fitting, and she brings all of it to an hour on video with you. She is not a licensed therapist, and this is coaching rather than therapy or medical treatment. Plenty of her clients see a therapist and work with Kerry at the same time. If you are in crisis, please reach a qualified mental health professional or your local emergency service.
The first conversation is free. You talk, Kerry listens, and by the end the two of you know whether this is a fit. That is all it is for.
