Kathy has been married to physician Greg Olsen since 1988, and they have three children; Erik, Mary and Chloe.
According to CBN, Kathy and her husband prioritize their children's faith in Jesus and make them follow religious norms and values. Kathy was inspired when she read the book of Mathew, and it led her towards the path of faith when she eventually recognized the power of prayer.
"By teaching them early in life about the Lord they will be better equipped to deal with the fears, anxieties, and challenges that will come their way. And, it's a lesson that likely to stay with them for the rest of their lives," shares Kathy.
Moms are always busy fulfilling the needs of their husbands and kids. They prioritize family more than themselves. So was the case with Kathy. Without knowing, she happened to put on 25 lbs. But eventually, Kathy lost all that weight with the help of her trainer and nutritionist by cutting down her calories and exercising for a week thrice.
"I want to be healthy, to be there for my husband and my kids," she says.
Kathy has further revealed that family interactions have a crucial role in happy family life. "She encourages her spouse and children to communicate effectively, clearly and with love.", our sources said.
Kathy further reveals that making yourself a priority is not being selfish. Rather it is a gift to those whom you love. Your family will be benefitted from you if you're healthy. One of the ways Cathy reminds herself of her priorities is by writing JOY on a sheet of paper.
"After each letter, I fill in a word: Jesus, Others, You," she says.
