Making Connection Between Financial Accounting and Health with Kaitlin Borncamp
Welcome to Action’s Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Oftentimes in life, we want to make some sort of change, some kind of a transition, and we have a limited mindset with regards to the stories that we tell ourselves about what is possible, what is related. We oftentimes hear something along the lines of, “Find your transferable skills,” which, for some people, only means the obvious, and for some people, only means that you can only make small changes, say, from software engineer to data scientist or something that’s quite a bit related. However, my guest today, Kaitlin Borncamp, who is the founder of Feel Great with Kait, made the transition from accountant to nutritional wellness coach, if I’m saying that right.

Kaitlin, welcome to the program.

 

Thanks, Stephen. Thanks for having me. 

 

And is that right? Nutritional wellness coach? 

 

Yeah, I like to go by wellness advisor because there’s so much more to nutrition --- or so much more to wellness than just nutrition.

 

Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, that’s like one aspect of what you put into your body but there’s like do you move your body, do you get sunlight, do you put yourself under stress, all those things, you probably have a more comprehensive list than I do.

Now, accounting to wellness advising, to nutritional type of thing, does not sound obvious to most people. What is the connection and what makes them in your view related to one another?

 

Yeah, I love this question and I actually get this response a lot when people kind of hear my background and things. So, I would say a few ways that financial reporting accounting are related to health and wellness and one of them has to do with how it impacts us personally. So, when we think of something like accounting and finance, like an organization, the health of an organization, there’s so many different things going on and, most oftentimes, most people in the organization, they don’t really want to know what the accountants are doing. They’re like, “Yeah, you guys got it covered. We appreciate you. We know we need you,” but most people in an organization are like, “You guys got it, you know, I don’t really want to know.”

 

Yeah.

 

It’s a very complex system. There’s a lot of different points of information, data, as we call it in financial systems today, coming from a lot of different parts of the organization. In fact, all parts of the organization, right? They need to be rolled up, they need to be consolidated,
