We had the good fortune of connecting with Kat Johana and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kat, what’s the most difficult decision you’ve ever had to make?
I would say the most difficult decision I made was moving across the country in the middle of a pandemic, Leaving my hometown in Florida and a very comfortable lifestyle to pursue growth definitely was hard, but so worth it.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am most excited about the intentions behind the start of Malibu Cowgirl Club. Malibu Cowgirl Club is a club for city gals with small town roots! It’s our desire to create genuine friendships while enjoying new experiences together.
 From growing up in a small town to moving to California, community can be hard to find. I’ve dreamt of building authentic friendships that connect over health, wellness, and a zeal for life.

Malibu Cowgirl Club’s vision is to cultivate a community of women who encourage and empower each other while pursuing their passions and focusing on the health of our mind, body, and soul.

I wanted this club to be unique and filled with joy. One day as I was reading the verse in Hebrews 10:24 came to mind to inspire creating this club , “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” I realized we have become comfortable being alone, being home, becoming in the habit of not going out to meet friends etc. Sometimes that can lead to feeling lonely. I wanted to create a space where girls can come create core moments together while seeking community.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend was visiting this would. be my day itinerary: Leaving the airport, the first place I would stop in is Venice, CA. I would get brunch at Great White then take them over to the Gjusta flower shop. I would then take them to do some shopping on Abbot Kinney Blvd. and stop at DEUS Ex Machina as well. Then end the day with a sunset bike ride on the beach!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Everyone in my life has made an impact in my story whether they know it or not. As I grew older I realized everyone is in your life is in it for a reason. Whether it is only a temporary season or for life. I can’t pin point to one specific person, but I will say having a personal relationship with Jesus has allowed me to live my life to the fullest. So, I dedicate this shoutout to Jesus and the impact He has had on my life.
