The Mindset Whisperer
About Kim Vermaak
I’m Kim Vermaak. I am an author, speaker, book coach, MC, and The Mindset Whisperer. I help visionaries write and speak with clarity, resilience and a legacy-driven mindset.
There was a time when my voice felt lost. Buried under expectations, perfectionism, and postpartum depression. That quiet pain became a teacher. It taught me how vital it is to speak openly, to share vulnerably and to write with courage. Since then, I’ve helped founders, coaches, and creators unlock their voice and shape their story into something powerful and lasting. I believe storytelling is not just a skill. It’s a soul call.
I’ve seen what happens when leaders bury their brilliance. I’ve seen the fear of judgment stop books from being written and legacies from being built. But I’ve also seen what happens when someone steps into their truth, owns their story, and tells it with intention. That moment is magic. And it’s my mission to help more people get there.
