I’m here with my friend today Kathy McKnight. Hey, Kathy. Hey, Betsy. So I’m really excited to have you here. You and I connected a couple months ago, and we’ve talked on the phone a couple times. And I’m fascinated by what you do. So tell everybody what it is you do? Well, I am a handwriting analyst. And my official title is certified master graphologist. And that sounds so fancy graphologist. Okay. Yes, it’s an ancient science. It’s been around since the days of Aristotle. So it’s something that had truly stood the test of time. And how did you even learn or come across this? How did you learn this craft? It’s so funny, because that is the number one first question I get asked all the time. Oh, really. And the story is, I had a really, really cool dad who was ahead of his time. And we were very close. He was also my spiritual mentor. He was also incredibly telling talented healer, and chiropractor. And he exposed me to many, many things growing up, only one of which was handwriting analysis. Fast forward. Many years later, I’m in corporate America, got my degree, I moved to Colorado, I’m not working. I’m still trying to find my niche. But I’m in corporate America feeling like aged bird with clipped wings, looking to do something more in line with my soul. So I came across a college catalog and flipped through it. And there was an eight week beginning course on handwriting analysis, and I took it. And when my friends found out about it, they’re like, well, we want to take it to so at the end of it, my instructor, she was a certified graphologist. She worked in forensics. Also, she pulled me aside said you really have a calling for this. And she strongly nudged me to study under a Master graphologist. Quinn, Samson. And I did and the rest, as they say is history. Cool. So how long have you been doing this now then? Since 1991? Okay. Oh, so a long time. Okay. So tell us what that really means. And like, what capacity Do you work in now? Like do you work with? Like we said something about friends? iQ? So do you work with police officers? Or do you work with just regular old people? or tell us what you do? No, I don’t, I don’t work with the police per se, unless they want my help. Understanding the personality or the profile. But um, my background is also healing work. I was a former instructor at the Colorado School of healing arts after I graduated from there. And I had a full time 10 year practice.
