Confessions: From TV Executive and Closeted Clairvoyant to Sharing her Gifts with Kim Bantle

Buy Kim Bantle's Book Here About Kim: Kim grew up as the youngest of seven in a spirited New York household where dinner conversations could venture into almost any topic. Her siblings—most with their own brand of sensitivity—dabbled in meditation, reincarnation, and various Eastern philosophies, unintentionally broadening Kim's world far beyond the boundaries of her strict Catholic upbringing. It wasn't until Kim could no longer hide her gifts that she began to unlock "inside self," a box deep in her soul where she kept her secrets. That's when everything began to change. After living in Manhattan through her 20's, Kim moved to Los Angeles during her 23 year TV career for an executive role in a production company. She was transferred back to New York two years later but eventually ended up settling on the west side of LA where she now lives with her family. She's spent time in almost all 50 US states and visited over 25 countries—each journey feeding her fascination with people, cultures, and the stories that live between worlds. Drawn to anything unordinary, Kim finds her greatest joy in exploring what lies just beyond the familiar. Learn more about Kim Bantle: https://www.kimsbantle.com/
