Kate Speer: CEO of the Dogist

Kate was misdiagnosed. Then she was misdiagnosed again, and the cycle continued. She’s lived through such turmoil and suffering, dealing with suicide attempts, depression, anxiety, and many psychiatric hospitalizations. But after struggling with mental illness for over a decade, Kate broke through. And now she wants to tell her story to everyone, and especially others who have, or are dealing with, some of the same things Kate did. Kate does not back down from speaking openly about what happened to her, and does so with poise, pride, and energy that few can match. Now, as CEO of the Dogist, a flourishing young company, Kate is a millennial who can get anything done. Kate teaches us how to embrace the things that make us happy, how to deal with our emotions, and how dogs can make everything better.
