Kait Liggett, M.S., BCBA

Founder and CEO of Actualize Wellness

Kait Liggett brings over a decade of expertise in Behavior Analysis to her role as the Founder and CEO of Actualize Wellness. For the first 7 years of her career, she specialized in working with children with autism. Over the next 3 years, she expanded her focus to Organizational Behavior Management, helping implement effective behavioral change strategies in the workplace.

Starting a family and navigating its unique challenges motivated Kait to apply Behavior Analysis—and specifically Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—to her own life. Kait quickly discovered how transformative ACT could be, not just for managing daily stress but for learning how to connect with what truly matters. At the time, she felt stuck in the belief that she could only relax once she checked everything off her to-do list. But as a full-time working mom, wife, and homeowner, that list never stopped growing. Kait found herself caught in a constant cycle of doing; focused on tackling everything she thought she “should” accomplish. She felt like she was barely keeping her head above water, and even when she took breaks, they weren’t truly restful or energizing.

Her perspective began to shift when she completed an ACT values assessment. It was a moment of clarity that allowed her to step back and reflect on where her time and energy were going. She realized she’d been investing so much into things that didn’t align with her true priorities. This realization sparked a profound mindset shift for Kait.

She started to pay closer attention to the thoughts and feelings pulling her away from her values and practiced allowing those experiences to exist without letting them dictate her actions. Slowly, Kait began to realign her behaviors to focus on what was most meaningful to her: work/life balance, health, and cultivating a sense of vitality. While this process wasn’t always easy, it was deeply empowering.

For Kait, living purposefully doesn’t mean striving for perfection, it means making choices that feel authentic and aligned with her values. This shift has helped her build a life she feels proud of, one rooted in intentionality, balance, and self-compassion. Kait believes this approach has allowed her to live unapologetically, embracing the freedom to create a meaningful life without being weighed down by unhelpful thoughts. Now, she is passionate about helping others uncover the same clarity and confidence to pursue the life they truly want.

Outside of her professional life, Kait thrives in the beautifully chaotic world of motherhood alongside her wonderfully supportive husband. When she’s not playing with her two boys, you might find her sampling new foods on her travels or embracing the cozy “hygge” lifestyle at home. With her blend of authenticity, humor, and expertise, Kait makes the journey to personal growth feel a little less daunting and a lot more genuine.
