Kate Stellar, formerly known as Kate Romero, has spent decades as a multifaceted professional, excelling as a Life Coach, Talent Manager, Radio Host, and even a World Title holder in Arm Wrestling under her professional name Heaven.
The name Heaven was born from a profound near-death experience that profoundly transformed her life and perspective, igniting a renewed sense of purpose and marking the beginning of a new chapter in both her personal journey and creative work.
As a talented Storyteller, Kate Stellar is a Moth StorySLAM Winner who competed in KCRW's (89.9) The Moth GrandSLAM at the Regent Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, and a featured Storyteller in KPCC's (89.3) Unheard LA series.

She is also venturing into the world of Stand-Up Comedy, crafting a One-Woman Show titled Dearly Beloved: A Journey from Self-Loathing to Self-Love, and a Comedy Special aptly named Reckoning Ball.
Notable career highlights include playing Midge in Married with Children, Jeanie in Growing Pains, a 1940s Pinup Girl alongside Bob Hope and Don Knotts in a Bob Hope Special, and a role in Cruise Ship Murder for Lifetime TV.
Stellar turns trauma into triumph through her unique brand of comedy, which she calls Traumedy(TM),believing that "When we can learn to laugh about what once made us cry, we win."
As a Speaker, Kate Stellar delivers her message with levity and galvanized truth, sharing vivid analogies and searingly honest reflections from her past. She inspires others to embark on their own journey from "scapegoat" to "Escapegoat."
