Hey there — I’m Kaci.
Speaker, writer, administrative chaos coordinator, and an admin and leadership trainer who’s spent the last 20+ years being a behind-the-scenes problem solver and professional dumpster fire extinguisher. I teach teams and individuals how to lead with legacy in mind - without needing a therapy session, a title, a spotlight, or an emotional support pen.
But, outside of being the official office unicorn, I am also a professional overthinker, queen of the worst case scenario, a card carrying member of the ADHD superheroes, and the unofficial president of the overstimulated moms club. I am a full-time working single mom, to a sports-obsessed pre-teen boy who thinks showers are optional, but baseball is not. I affectionately hold the title of Captain Kumbaya because I just want everybody to get along! And I do it all with sparkly shoes, rainbow gel pens, and coffee in my hand that I’ve probably reheated 3x already.
For most of my life, I’ve been told I’m a lot.
I talk too much. Too loud. Too opinionated. Too emotional.
I used to try to shrink myself to fit into rooms that didn’t deserve the full volume of who I am.
But over time — through heartbreaks, single-mom survival seasons, and a few spectacularly ungraceful comebacks — I realized something: I wasn’t meant to blend in quietly.
I was meant to echo.
let’s start with the girl who was “a lot”…
My grandmother once told me,
“If you want to inspire people, then be inspiring.”
At the time, I rolled my eyes (as one does when they’re convinced Grandma is speaking in riddles).
But that line never left me.
Years later — after walking through loss, starting over, and learning how to rebuild from the inside out — I finally understood what she meant.
It’s not about doing something grand or impressive.
It’s about how you live.
It’s the legacy you build in real time through kindness, courage, consistency, and showing up even when no one’s clapping.
That realization became the heartbeat of everything I do.
the meaning behind the movement
Be the Echo started as a quiet reminder to myself that my story still mattered — even the messy, cracked, still-healing parts. Those are God’s favorite parts to use!
It grew into a message about how small acts and honest stories can ripple farther than we’ll ever see.
It’s not about having a platform or a spotlight — it’s about having the guts to live your values out loud. We are called to be “the hands and feet of Jesus”. It’s about choosing to echo kindness in a world that echoes chaos.
It’s about legacy — not the kind carved in stone, but the kind built in daily decisions to be obedient.
Because every time you choose grace over gossip, purpose over perfection, or compassion over comparison, you’re already being the echo that the world so desperately needs.
why i’m here
I’ve built my career and my calling around people — helping them grow, lead, and show up fully human while they do it.
I’m a firm believer in meeting people where they are and that healing and humor belong in the same sentence.
Through Be the Echo, my writing, and my speaking, I help others rediscover their voice, reclaim their purpose, and remember that legacy isn’t left someday
— it’s lived right now.
I believe leadership starts with humanity.
I believe your scars tell stories that can save someone else’s day — or life.
And I believe we’re all leaving a legacy whether we mean to or not… so we might as well make it one worth echoing.
Be the Echo isn’t about me.
It’s about us - It’s a movement of people daring to live a little louder, love a little deeper, and leave the kind of ripples that make the world a softer place to land.
