Climbing To The Top

Welcome to the Climbing To The Top podcast by me, Kim O'Rourke, where I’ll be sharing my marketing and astrological thoughts, ideas, strategies and tactics to help you, the ambitious coach, consultant or course creator, climb to the very top of your business. I am both a marketing strategist AND an astrologer and I can help you not only with the practical skills of communicating your truth and your message to those who need to hear it the most, but also I am here to help you harness and utilise the planetary energies so that you can work with the universe in your business and not against it.
