Katty Douraghy is an entrepreneur and facilitator whose life changed dramatically in 2011 when she started her journey through grief. The Butterfly Years is Katty's first book and the culmination of a three-year journey through grief that has led to a path toward hope and growth.
In this raw, vulnerable story, Katty chronicles her personal experience through grief after the death of six family members, including her parents and her stepparents, within a very short timeframe.
Although the journey through grief is unique and does not follow a set timeline or a clearly defined path, The Butterfly Years infuses hope and lessons learned along the way to show a different perspective on grief and mourning. Whether you are experiencing grief in the early weeks of a loss or if your grief has transitioned over time to settle deep in your heart, The Butterfly Years reminds us that we are all on the journey through grief and toward hope together.
Born in Iran, raised in England and the U.S., Katty brings a multi-cultural perspective to her interactions. She explores the concepts of guilt and judgment and shares insights on grief and mourning across cultural expectations and customs.
Currently, Katty is working on her second project, bringing together her experience with grief and her background in facilitation to create a daily journal (tentatively called the Butterfly Years Journal), due out in the Fall of 2021. Katty believes we all have a story to share and that our greatest journey toward hope and growth is through self-reflection and self-discovery.
She is president of Artisan Creative, a staffing and recruitment agency focusing on digital, creative, and marketing talent, and founder of Inspiring Hiring, an online resume, and job posting portal. Katty is also a team and retreat facilitator working closely with entrepreneurs to become stronger versions of themselves. She earned a BA in English Literature from UC Santa Cruz and a Merchandising Degree from FIDM in San Francisco.
Katty lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their two furry feline friends.
