    Katja Lany’s Bio:

    Katja Lany said "You know how some of us in mid-life slow down enough to realize that we've been tainted by our lineage? We are older & wiser, yet still feel like a victim, still have issues around codependency, and are still WAY too hard on ourselves? Well, I'm a spiritual guide who helps wise women to break the bonds of their lineage to become what I call a "Sacred Disruptor" who breaks the old patterns, stands up against old patterns of abuse, and loves herself as she claims her best years ever".
