Kathi Meyer was a single mom of three beautiful children. Zack 19, Taylor 17 and Logan was just 10. She was a Realtor who had lived in a New England suburb all of her forty years. She was always smiling, very positive and lived life with a positive outlook.
Kathi never thought that she would be a public speaker. She never thought that she would be so passionate about the subject of underage drinking. She never thought that she would become an advocate for the prevention of underage drinking and social host liablity. All that changed one cold October morning in 2008 when Kathi was told the horrible news that her seventeen year old daughter Taylor had been found, drowned in only two feet of swampy water because of underage drinking and poor choices. They say a moment in your life can change who you are. This was that moment.
Kathi describes her ability to start speaking at schools two months after Taylor passed, as a gift, because without it, there is no purpose for losing Taylor. Taylor was an amazing person who should have lived a long healthy life. That was not meant to be her path. Kathi, with Taylor’s Message, is able to help students and parents see how the importance of making good choices in everything in life leads to greatness. Students/parents leave after speaking with Kathi knowing how important they are and how good choices will help them get to their great destiny! Everyone who hears Kathi’s presentation, leaves knowing that things happen for a reason and that life is defined by many different choices we make in life. Her ability to reach her audiences’ hearts by having something in her talk “hit home” is the sole reason why she now proudly considers herself as that public speaker & passionate advocate for prevention!
Kathi lives in Plainville, MA. She has a fabulous husband Chris who she recently married in 2011 and has two incredible sons, Zachary & Logan.

Testimonials
Kathi’s presentation of Taylor’s Message is a heart wrenching reality of the consequences of underage drinking. It is a message that should be heard by all students and parents. I would recommend her to other schools with 100% conviction and belief that Kathi’s words and Taylor’s life will impact your students in a positive way.
Kathi Meyer presented to all grades at NQHS and had an overwhelming impact on the entire school. Because Kathi was willing to share her pain and anguish, over 1400 students had the opportunity to learn the dangers associated with poor decision making and the tragic consequences of underage drinking. I have had several individuals and organizations speak at my high school and none have affected the entire student population the way Kathi did.
Thank you for making the “Making A Difference” evening such a success! You did an excellent job from start to finish. We appreciated the way you personally greeted people at the beginning and spoke to parents and students after the presentation. We are extremely grateful that you came to our school and shared such a powerful message. The audience was captivated by your honesty and sincerity. Your ability to touch all audience members was felt well beyond that evening. It was a pleasure working with you. Your story is truly making a difference in people’s lives.
