This is only the beginning of the lives you will touch, Kathy. Thank you for responding. :).

The things that happen to us when we were young does not define us our whole life. So happy Christopher helped you find "You". Your heart has healed, your eyes are wide open and the world is all yours. You have become a beautiful butterfly. 🦋 Fly High Beautiful!

So honored to have been able to share three days with you Kathy. Sharing your personal stories with strangers takes an incredible amount of bravery and trust. Reading all these comments is a bit overwhelming. You have made quite an impression beautiful Lady! Hugs and Kisses!❤❤❤

Your early life experiences also made you who you are today...the makeover is just icing on the cake...have fun with it...hugs.

Oh Ms Walker, you certainly deserved that gorgeous makeover… and more. BTW you were absolutely gorgeous already even without it but it obviously will help you overcome a little your wounds. I can relate to what you endured and one cannot completely heal from that abrupt reality that you discovered at such an early age : some people are sadics disguised as « good » parents. Since they cannot buy slaves to be tortured for their vile pleasure, they give birth to them. I do not think one can ever completely heal from that but you can take pride in never having taken after your so called « mother » and in being the best mankind has to offer as opposed to your genitor (God! You even had her at home!!!!) And again…. Congratulations on that beautiful makeover

I Felt you Restored the Beauty she Always had …her young pictures were So Attractive - Now she can Live the Life she was Not allowed to. ♥️ ♥️

What? Were those *four* languages I heard spoken there?! Let me tell you Kathy, you were *always* worthy, always beautiful, always talented. Thank God you found the love you so desperately needed with your husband and kids. And Christopher, you did indeed bring out her true, spectacular self! Amen, sister!!

Shine bright Kathy your so beautiful and deserve happiness! J enjoy your life on your terms, surrounded only by those who appreciate your presences !

You said it Best!!! Cheers to Kathy!! Christopher you and your team are truly angels on earth♥️

Shhh! There are so many who want to assume it's all shallow and superficial... Just like me! :)

You can leave out "hairdresser" whenever referring to me. :). But you got my middle initial. So: Thank you!

@@MAKEOVERGUY you are very much respected and loved Christopher.

We appreciate that. It is not always easy to explain what goes on in a makeover. A before and after are never enough.

I thought the same thing. Looking at those childhood photos, an outsider would never guess anything was wrong. And how gracious is it of her to take her mother in after all that abuse.

Feeling others' pain isn't so fun, is it?

I had a mother from that generation. But we won't get into that. :)

Yes, that was the way it was, but didn’t have to be. And Christopher and his team truly do bring out the best in every woman. They are truly wonderful, kind, attentive souls. Love them!

You should try editing it and putting it all together!

@@MAKEOVERGUY ohhhh. Yes, that would be difficult!! 🤭

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your kind words. Kathy was quite brave to share her story, but she was ready. Spending three days with Kathy was magical. Because of Kathy, I am a better person. Her life story will help, comfort and support many who had similar experiences. No on needs to feel alone. Keep watching, enjoying our videos. Please share Kathy's story with your family and friends; you never know who might just need some encouragement. 😘

I'm so sorry that you also had to endure abuse...I'm glad that you made it through..🤩😍🥰🤗

That is my aspiration. A voice that speaks to others who can't say it, but know it.

I hope your new name brings you love and peace!

Very true Robyn. In addition, a positive attitude and self-confidence are critical to pull it off!

And now you're BLONDE BLONDE! It looks great. falap ball change.

@@MAKEOVERGUY Yep! And now I have added pickle ball to my routine which is required of all Florida residents. 😉

I'm not surprised that you took care of her in her old age and when she was dying. And I'm not surprised she never told you she loved you or cared for you. Somehow, mothers of our generation (which I think we are of the same or close because of the number of years you've been married) believed that "coercive control" was the way to bring up daughters. I wasn't adopted, but I often wondered if were as a young child, for I constantly yearned for love and affection. I heard her boasting to other mothers about not displaying open love and attention to children, for it got in the way of discipline. Yet, like you, I didn't turn my back on her when she needed care and attention in her old age. And I'm so glad that you found a good husband who gave you as much love as you needed. Unfortunately, I wasn't as lucky on that front. He strayed after 43 years. I have a wonderful son though, who has turned out such a well balanced person. I gave him a lot of love, affection and attention while he was growing up. I chose to discipline him by teaching him about life, and by being open and talking to him whenever he had questions. We have a beautiful relationship, and he's now a perfect husband and father. The one thing I do to be able to keep going and remain in good spirits is to keep looking after myself and never let myself go. When I look and feel good, it helps not to lose control emotionally. So then, I remain positive and focused. Focused to keeping on. Sending you love and light! 💙

Thanks for answering me. 🙂 you and I are pretty strong. You looked beautiful before the makeover, so let me just say you still look beautiful. Absolutely love your hair. I'm so happy fort you. And my age is 69. I have 3 kids. The oldest one (boy) would be 53 passed 7 yrs ago. My second child (boy) is 47. My youngest (girl) is 45. She is a quadriplegic for 17 yrs. Diving accident. I am still a glass half full kind of person. You take care of yourself. Sending❣

Amen!

Your comments make me cringe! We are supposed to honor our mother and father. When you're our ages, (meaning over the age of 60), it was common place to discipline by spankings and belting and paddling. Even in school, misbehaved young children, yes, even all through high school were disciplined this way! We don't know the whole story, and while I sympathize with her emotional outbursts and crying, you cannot simply say her mother didn't deserve it! I took care of my mother during her last days. I too had a physically disciplined childhood. I was hit with anything she could get close to sometimes, even had to go cut a "switch" off our weeping willow tree. Btw..the small ones hurt the most! Lol... But in those last years, my mother and I grew closer than words can express. She had early Alzheimer's and was so loving and sweet. My mother did the best she could with three young children, two in diapers at the same time...cloth diapers she hand washed. She was strict and had an explosive temper. She was my MOTHER and forgiveness set us free to love and experience the best relationship ever. She was murdered for her millions, and I can't wait to see her again in Heaven. Forgive each other and set your souls free.

Hi Pat, thank you for your heartfelt message! I know many of us in this generation were subjected to "fear-based" parenting. Unfortunately for me, that childhood fear turned into anger, teenage rebellion, and confusion over what "love" really meant. It took many years to understand that my mother was doing to me what was done to her. And, thankfully, I chose to raise my children very differently!! And YES, we do become the strong, confident and LOVING women we know we must be… and Christopher, Robert, Joann, Kayla and Jamie helped bring that confidence to the surface.

thank you, mother. 😁🙃🥸🥳

Thank you so much 😀

Beautiful!

The words just pour from your soul. I can't keep up.

@@MAKEOVERGUY It only happens when I dance with you...and all of this...🌹

@@kathywalker4758 Thank you, Kathy, for the inspiration. So happy for you, participating in the Experience with these remarkable, talented people :)

I got the handle end of a wire fly swatter, damn that hurt

@@debragertz6836 Ow! So sorry Debra. The things we never forget!!!

@Heather Ruff Thank you! Kathy is a real nice person!

That is exactly why I want more of the story to come out. Every person has a story, but when they hear someone else tell their story, it's helpful, beyond what shade of lipstick she's wearing.
