Hi,

I’m Katie Faloon-Drew!

My mission is to help people close the gap between knowing and doing, so they can feel their best, perform at their best, and create a life they truly enjoy living.

CEO & Founder, Healthy Confident You

Knowing what to do has never been the problem… Sticking to it in a busy life is.

Katie Faloon-Drew is a bestselling author, Habit Change Expert, keynote speaker, and executive coach who helps people close the gap between knowing and doing.

With a Master's Degree in Health Psychology, training in neuroscience, and more than 20 years of experience in behaviour change, Katie teaches a refreshing message: it's not that you're lazy, unmotivated, or lacking willpower. It's that nobody taught you how your brain and habit change actually works.

Katie helps people understand why change feels so hard and how to hack their brain to make it easier, so they can finally follow through on the habits that increase their energy, reduce overwhelm, improve performance, and help them show up at their best - WITHOUT adding more to their plates.

My Story

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, stuck on level 11 of life’s treadmill, drowning while keeping work + others afloat, and wondering why you may be happy with your life but don’t FEEL good in it.

In my mid 30’s, I had worked hard to achieve everything on the “outside” but felt miserable on the inside. I burned out and went on mental health leave when my youngest son was two. 

That was my wake-up call. I started focusing on what actually made me FEEL vibrant—mentally, physically, and emotionally. I wanted to enjoy this precious life and show up as my best self for my kids, family, work (and ME!).

Along the way, I realized there was a reason I couldn't seem to follow through on the very things I knew would help me feel my best.

Once I understood that, things started to change. I had more energy, more confidence, more presence, and more capacity to enjoy the life I had worked so hard to build.

That experience sparked a passion for helping other high achievers create lasting change without adding more pressure to their already full plates.

I've learned that the version of you who feels energized, confident, present, and healthy creates far better results than the version running on fumes.

"She was a fabulous speaker!”

"We hired Katie to give the key note address at our staff conference in April 2024. She was a fabulous speaker and was happy to work with us to ensure she targeted our audience. She was able to motivate folks in the room to get out of their comfort zone and think beyond their regular mindset. She shared personal stories which allowed those in the room to relate and really encouraged them to feel vibrant."
