Kathy and Melody come from a close-knit family of 9 children.
Kathy is the oldest girl, complete with all of the leadership
traits that being the oldest typically entails, and Melody one
of the middle children, complete with the maverick qualities
that middle children often possess.
In 2006, artist Melody Ross
hired her older sister, Kathy Wilkins for strategic consulting
for Chatterbox, the worldwide company she had built and desired to get ready for sale. Over the course of the next few
years, they found that they were not only great together as
sisters, but that they were extremely compatible and
complementary in business.

Melody is a wild-minded, free
spirited visionary artist, product designer, and writer; while
Kathy is a skilled strategist, planner, and executor. After working
together for 3 years, with Kathy helping Melody wrap up her
Chatterbox years, they decided it was time to branch off and
make their much-discussed new dreams a reality.
Their combined experience in life, business, and creative
pursuits is the perfect combination needed to pull off the
worldwide adventure they are embarking on.

Melody Ross knows a thing or two about starting, building,
finishing, and then starting over again. As a madly-in-love wife
of nearly 20 wild rollercoaster years, a super-fun mama of 5
creative children and a world renowned artist and entrepreneur,
Melody has navigated the difficult and very rewarding journey of
building her dreams and her dream life, of losing it all and
recovering beautifully, and of coming out on the other side of
it ready to share what she has learned.
After 12 years of running and being the lead visionary of her
international company, Chatterbox, designing thousands of
products that are worldwide collectors items, and writing more
than 10 books, Melody bravely stepped away to live a new chapter
of artful, joyful, meaningful work that she has always felt
compelled to do, focused on helping others to bravely live their
dream life and find meaning in their stories, joy in their life
purpose, and fun in every moment.

Don’t let Kathy’s quiet, smiling demeanor fool you: she can
change in an instant into her superwoman clothes and save the
whole world without anyone ever knowing she did it, which is how
she likes it.
Kathy Wilkins has been happily married for 28 years, and
she and her husband, Kurt, are the parents of 8
incredible children and 4 cherished grandchildren. Kathy is an accomplished musician, having been in
several musical groups, including a rock band from the time she
was a teenager until she needed to retire because of motherhood
. While she
has “retired” from the professional music business, she still
performs often and especially loves instructing and
participating in choirs.
Kathy has successfully started and operated a variety of
businesses and started a consulting business in 2002 to help
other entrepreneurs with her calm, cool, and oh-so-wise demeanor. Through her experiences in running and operating her
own businesses, Kathy acquired a skill and a love for internet
marketing and web development. She designs and writes copy for
many successful websites and internet campaigns, sometimes even
while wearing her superwoman cape.
Kathy is also an accomplished seamstress, gourmet cook, and loves
to plan parties and adventures.
Her first love is a love for family and friends and people in
general. Her strong desire to make a positive difference in the
world is a driving force in all that she does. Brave Girls Club
is an extension of all that she loves and values, making it easy
to put her whole heart into it.
