Kath Koschel has proven time and time again just how resilient she is. As a young girl, all Kath wanted to do was play cricket. Kath trained hard and got to the top of her game to play professionally for New South Wales. But after only four games, Kath broke her back and wound up in rehab with a diagnosis of paralysis. 

How does one so young deal with such a devastating blow??

Energetic, determined and gritty, Kath thought, 'bugger that' and taught herself to walk again.

Sadly after beating her diagnosis of paralysis and learning to walk again, Kath's life came crashing down again when she lost her partner to suicide.

Kath has experienced many other adversities; people have often said to her, "I could not have coped and got through the things you have suffered" Kath's doesn't believe this for a second; she thinks anyone can get through anything. 

Kath relies on three tools, Gratitude, Humour and Kindness, to help her tackle life and look after her mental health. 

Kath, an active mental health advocate, is the founder of Kindness Factory, a global not for profit organisation and movement which inspires ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
