Online Classes, come learn with me! 


Live, not pre-recorded, so you get the personalized attention that you’ve always wanted from an online class. 

  • Makeup 101

    Learn how to do your makeup for yourself or to look your best on camera or film. You’ll feel more confident and have the knowledge of what products and colors work best for you. 

  • Social Media 101

    With a focus on 1-3 platforms, learn how to navigate them, create content, learn about the best hashtags, and grow with paid and organic marketing.

  • Personal Brand Mapping

    No matter if you’re starting a business or pivoting in your career, it’s always a good idea to have a strong personal brand. This will help you stand out and help you make a bigger impact.

I am a multi-passionate entrepreneur, business owner, and coach. I have 20 years in the beauty industry, I’ve been business and career coaching for over 10 years, and added life and personal development coaching in 2019. 

I’m an instructor at our local Adult Learning Center and I’ve been teaching other people for as long as I can remember. I want to help you gain skills so that you can be better, do better, and make a bigger impact in the world.

Why book a class with me?

You’ll receive live, personalized, one-to-one classes from the comfort of your home and catered to your specific needs. They can be recorded so you can watch them again. 


How to book a class?

Just send us an email and let us know what class, what days and times are best for you (Monday-Friday 9:30-2:00 EST), and what your specific questions or concerns are for that particular topic. Please include your time zone if not EST and your cell phone number just in case we need to get in touch the day of your class via text. 

Once we finalize a time, we’ll send you a confirmation email and Zoom invite. Then we’ll email you an invoice that will need to be paid within 48 hours prior to the class time to save your spot or you’ll lose it. 

The cost for a personalized, one-to-one class for one hour via Zoom is $95.

These classes are meant to be fun, engaging, and educational. You’ll learn valuable skills that will help you personally and professionally!

Be better. Do better. Make a bigger impact.

I look forward to working with you!

"I Am Free to Be Me" Children's Book

"I Am Free to Be Me" Children's Book

Introducing my new children’s book “I Am Free to Be Me”!

This has been a work in progress for awhile and I’m so happy to finally have it out in the world. I wrote the poem about the power of using our imagination and my sister is an amazing illustrator, so being able to collaborate with her was really fun! Last week I got to read it to my youngest daughter’s class as well as the other Kindergarten classes at King’s Grant Elementary in Virginia Beach. How cute are they?!

Children's book author Kim Porter reads to kids in the Kindergarten classes at King's Grant Elementary school in Virginia Beach.

It is available on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites. We are happy to come read the book and speak at schools in-person or virtually as well as any bookstores. This book is so much fun to read to kids and to groups. We have really enjoyed creating this book that teaches kids about using their own creativity and imaginations to be, do, or have anything they desire.

If you would like to follow along head over to our Instagram page.

Kim

How I Got Started Using CBD

How I Got Started Using CBD

In 2017 I went through the deepest and darkest depression that I had ever been in my life. I would drive around just to find a place to cry alone, I had thoughts of dying, and I just wanted the pain to end.

It was a long journey to finding my happy place again but eventually I did. In the process I learned so many amazing ways to help me deal with my stress and anxiety, which has led me to the ER more than once in my life. It was after this dark time in my life that I became a coach for women to help them deal with the overwhelm and burnout they were feeling in their lives and businesses.

I posted this recipe originally on my old blog on Thursday, January 3, 2013. It has gotten so much attention through the years, I even received a message from Mrs. Fearnow’s grandson (see below), so I thought I would share it with you all.
