In our first-ever filmed episode of Studio Sessions, we sat down with K (@kaughtavibe) —founder of KTM Fitness (@K_tm.fitness), assistant to DJ Wealthy, and a creative entrepreneur on the rise.

K opened up about the lowest point in her life—a moment that almost ended everything—and how it became the catalyst for major transformation.

Now based in Virginia Beach, K shared her journey of survival, healing, and what it means to rediscover purpose. From launching her fitness brand to stepping into PR and supporting other creatives, she’s ready to get back in the game—and this time, with God.

Transitioning Into Entrepreneurship

Cayla: How did you end up in entrepreneurship?

K: I was working for Vascular Doctors and I went through a really bad breakup. I feel like all blossoms are from bad breakups.

And it’s funny because my ex before that one was a personal trainer! And I was like “you’re dumb, you meal prep” (laughs).

Cayla: Okay, so you weren’t really into fitness before that?

K: Not really. I never struggled with weight or anything. I ate pretty healthy all my life.

I just started working out. At least, If I don’t feel good, I could look good.

Purpose

My purpose is not only health and wellness—I’ve inspired so many women throughout my journey. And also, I’m a God fearing woman, so being able to introduce God or help people get closer to God, I love that.

Juggling Entrepreneurship & Motherhood

Kay: We moved around a lot because I couldn’t figure out where I wanted to live…and I homeschooled my daughter for a majority amount of time, because D.C.’s school system is ghetto.

Being an entrepreneur and a mom was hard. Very hard.

Cayla: And a teacher! And you’re a full time entrepreneur at this point?

Kay: Yes! Managing over 30 women, all different personalities.

And having my own life—it was a lot.

The Moment That Changed Everything

I should have took a break then…It was very traumatic…I was crashing out.
