It’s Nothing I’m Fine podcast with Amy prieb, season 1

September 8, 2026

What happens when the ground shifts under work you've built for over a decade? Kim Harris, founder of Distinctive Voice Consulting, doesn't have just one answer — she has several.

In this conversation, Kim takes us through the full arc of her career: two decades of facilitating equity and inclusion training for organizations, nonprofits, and civic groups across the country, and what it's meant to navigate a landscape that's changed dramatically around that work. But this isn't a story about loss. It's a story about range. Kim has spent years building alongside her DEI practice — coaching first-generation student-athletes and their families through the confusing world of college recruiting and scholarships, guiding people through life transitions with the same steady presence she brought to her ministry work in grief and divorce recovery, and lending her voice — literally — to audiobooks, corporate training, and broadcast work shaped by decades on air.

We talk about what it takes to hold that many threads at once, how her own life — growing up in Los Angeles, living overseas, working internationally — shaped her gift for helping people bridge difference, and what she wants every client to feel in the very first conversation, no matter which door they walked through to find her.

If you've ever had to rebuild what "your work" means without losing who you are in the process, this one's for you.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“This workshop was a personal journey that took me from where I was at in to the next steps for me personally in understanding allyship, privilege, identity, and social justice.”

– Student, June 29, 2020

“Kimberly Harris, Distinctive Voice Consulting, was wonderful to work with. Our training focused on cultural diversity and sensitivity in a school setting. We had a short timeline and specific goals in mind and she was able to meet and exceed our expectations. Our staff commented that she was well-organized, entertaining, and had insightful information. We would love to have her back!”

– Kris Newberry, Bellingham Public Schools Department of Teaching & Learning Secretary

“Thank you for making it a safe space that allowed us room to grow! I was surprised when it was over how quickly the course had gone. There was a great mix of lecture, conversation, and break-out sessions.”

“I wish it could have been longer. I realize it is difficult with an online platform and fatigue at the end of the day. I find myself wanting more information. The resources provided will be useful in continuing my learning.”

– Student, May 14, 2020

“On [the first feedback question], I marked ‘What I was looking for’ and ‘Not what I was looking for’ [because] I really wish it was longer. I like Kimberly’s teaching style; she gives us small-group discussion time so each of us is engaged in the class. However, the things she covers in bullet points are also so important and deep; I wish we could get into each of them with more time, samples, and conversation. Kimberly did provide examples and I appreciated [that] but I’d love to hear a lot more of real life examples that make us learn what privilege and allyship really look like. (Of course, that’s impossible in [a] one-time class and now as I write this, I’m realizing that this class is the wake-up call and it’s my turn to learn more on my own—that’s why we get [a] resource list—and get out to take part in those real-life actions and speak up when I can.) Thank you so much for the class and please keep me posted for future ‘wake-up calls’.”
