Interview with Kim
THE AUTHOR — THE SOUL BEHIND BOTH LANES
Kim writes because someone needs to know it's possible.
Under the pen name Natasha Brune, she has published seven fiction and memoir-adjacent titles — including The Wise Marie Paradise Edition, recognized as an LA Tribune Critically Acclaimed Bestseller and International Impact Book Award winner in Addiction and Recovery Memoirs.
Her children's series, The Wise Ladybug, brings the same spirit of radical possibility to young readers — teaching courage, creativity, and compassion through joyful, character-driven stories.
Hollywood producer Phil Goldfine called her story "one that warrants a motion picture or TV series."
The books are available on Amazon and as signed copies. The stories are what give every stage she walks onto — and every boardroom she enters — something most consultants and speakers will never have.
