Katie Moseley of Foothills and Metro on Life, Lessons & Legacy

Katie Moseley shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Katie, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: Have you stood up for someone when it cost you something?
Yes, I stood up for myself and my two daughters—and it cost me full custody as a stay-at-home mother and survivor of domestic violence (DV). As a former public school teacher who has spent three decades standing up for children, this outcome defied all logic. This is why those who divorce an abuser call Family Court “the upside-down world.” Everything is backwards from what the public assumes, starting with its statute slogan, “in the best interest of the child”—a phrase that is nothing more than propaganda for a billion-dollar business.

Family Court and CPS are infamously referred to as “broken systems,” but the truth is—they are corrupt systems. Post-2020, things shifted aggressively, making these systems especially dangerous for survivors. Protective parents are being falsely accused by abusers in retaliation for reporting abuse and are threatened with jail time, a fate imposed on numerous mothers across the United States. Many domestic violence survivors don’t call for help because courts often issue “mutual” restraining orders, erasing the perpetrator-victim distinction and perpetuating the belief that “both parties are responsible.” This puts vulnerable children at great risk of being trafficked through the system. Framing the safe parent from the beginning is part of a systemic design aimed at the maximum extortion of middle class families, resulting in state-sanctioned kidnapping. Once the money is gone, parents are easy to frame on paper, and over powered through loopholes that only exist in Family Court—a place where no is read their Miranda Rights, no one gets a state-appointed attorney, and judges and magistrates have full immunity.

Both of my children have suffered life-threatening incidents, documented by medical clinics, yet when I raised these concerns in court, it resulted in their father being granted full decision-making power. After I was granted a Temporary Restraining Order from a local DV Justice Center, numerous counter restraints were issued to silence me from reporting more abuse. For nine months now—262 days—I have been cut off from my daughters completely. Our abuser stonewalls by delaying parenting time scheduling, which has effectively blocked all contact. Despite court Orders, he isn’t allowing the children even a phone call or text. My daughters went from joining me at author events to promote my memoir at Tattered Books in Denver to no contact. This is parental kidnapping, and has currently gone unpunished.

Another common tactic is to accuse protective mothers of being “mentally ill,” forcing them onto supervised visitation—services meant for people on probation after incarceration. It’s classic shaming, unconstitutional, and weaponized by abusers to defame a mother in the eyes of her children and the community. Local law enforcement refuses to respond to welfare checks and 911 calls, demonstrating police misconduct. Parents and children are left in a gridlock where abusers are protected from being sent to criminal court, protective parents are silenced, and children are put in isolation with the abuser, which we have seen can be lethal.

Too often, divorce attorneys advise survivors not to mention domestic violence and to accept forced 50/50 parenting arrangements. This practice is not neutrality—it is entrapment. Co-parenting with an abuser locks the survivor into a state of chronic cortisol activation, where every interaction is judged by how they submit to their perpetrator. This “nudge” towards silence and compliance is itself a form of coercive control, setting the victim up to be retraumatized under the guise of fairness. We would never expect a victim to “speak kindly” to Ted Bundy—yet family courts routinely impose this cruel and unusual practice. Coercive control is at the core of all domestic violence, mirroring cult-like conditions and resulting in trauma in the survivors and children, that research has shown to be equivalent to that experienced by combat veterans.

This new era has replaced the “deadbeat dad” trope with something far more sinister: abusers now seek full custody in order to sever the healthy attachment between children and their loving parent. This harms both child and parent, leaving behind a generation of maladapted, traumatized individuals. This method also disqualifies DV survivors from public assistance and non-profit domestic violence programs, since a key qualifier is that we must have our children with us at least 50% of the time. This isn’t an accident—this is a strategy being taught by the attorneys to strip the mother of all resources, and take her most precious connection—her children. When they do this, they have the victim by the neck. Parents warn each other: “It could happen to anyone.” But unlike a natural disaster, this is man-made—systemically designed to control and extort profit out of harm. Parents are calling it designer child trafficking. The system calls it “in the best interest of the child,” but Family Court is an inverted world that plays Russian roulette with our children’s lives.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am Katie Moseley, and my life’s work has grown out of both profound spiritual connection and lived experience of resilience. I am the founder of Electric Katie Healings, LLC, where I offer clairvoyant readings, spiritual mentoring, and soul-centered guidance to help others awaken to their intuition and divine wisdom. This September, I will also be at Denver’s Mind Body Spirit Expo, offering intuitive readings and sharing my work with a larger community.

My journey has not been one of ease. Speaking the truth about domestic violence cost me time with my daughters and exposed me to systemic corruption within the family court system. After I divorced in 2020, I thought the worst was behind me, but God had more in store, revealing how post-separation abuse is perpetuated through our systems. From this heartbreak, I have transformed my voice into a platform for healing, reform, and empowerment. My hope is to expand awareness so that children and nurturing parents are no longer harmed. Ultimately, I believe Family Court must one day be fully abolished.

In 2023, I self-published my memoir Electric Katieland: A Journey of Awakening. This September, it will be released on Audible. For the past seven months, I’ve worked closely with the phenomenal narrator, Evan Jae Smith, whose vibrant character and vocal range brought my story to life. Her voice embodies its emotion and nails my sense of humor with piercing authenticity. On a journey where I’ve faced incomprehensible betrayal, this partnership allowed me to rebuild trust and faith in another human to hold my story with honor. Our collaboration resulted in a creation that captures the spirit of my memoir with a powerful impact. A synchronous meeting that reminds me, I am blessed.

In addition to the spiritual, I am deeply rooted in advocacy. I serve as Team Lead for the Colorado chapter of the Family Justice and Accountability Act, ©️ 2025 Francesca Amato, Punished 4 Protecting, Inc. ©️ 2025 All Rights Reserved Protected Intellectual Property, a federal reform bill that seeks to restore jury trials in family court cases, end immunity, enforce ADA rights, and hold all court actors accountable with serious consequences for the harm they’ve caused American families—including judges, magistrates, GALs, and CPS workers. This bill will be proposed in Washington, D.C., this October, where survivors from every state will come forward to share their personal stories—including speaking for children and parents we have tragically lost to homicide and suicide due to family court corruption.

What makes my work unique is its fusion of spiritual depth and social justice. I bridge holistic parenting and spiritual foundations with the core values of our Constitution. I believe we are all connected, and until families are healed and free, the collective suffers. My intention is to live a life of transparency and truth for my daughters to observe even while separated. I allow my pain to serve as a catalyst for empowerment and wisdom and I stand as living proof that even when systems silence and oppress us, they cannot and will not dim the light of those who choose to shine as God intended. I believe our purpose on this earth is to feel all the human emotions, remain open-hearted, and unconditionally loving. That is something no system nor abuser can take, even when ominous officials threaten to withhold our most beloved sacred bonds—our children.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
As a conscious parenting advocate, I understand healthy attachment starts in the womb and continues for decades. Bonds break due to separation which blocks access to love, empathy, hugs, and the sense of security that comes from a nurturing parent. Separation causes profound harm, inducing shock in both parent and child the moment it occurs. In infants, separation anxiety can be triggered when a mother is merely out of sight for a few moments. In toddlers, feelings of abandonment can arise when left in unfamiliar settings for just a few hours. When children are blocked from seeing a parent for months or even years, both parent and child experience profound grief and what many describe as a state of bereavement. The attachment system, which relies on daily connection and reassurance, interprets the loss of a primary caregiver as analogous to death—and yet we are forced to perform as if nothing abnormal is occurring. The once-healthy attachment begins to deteriorate, as abusers actively sabotage the bond to maintain their control.

This disruption triggers sustained coping mechanisms—hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, anxiety, and dissociation. Tragically, children exhibiting these symptoms are often misdiagnosed with disorders such as ADHD, anxiety, dissociative, or even personality disorders, when the root cause is environmental trauma and attachment disruption. Childhood neglect and psychological abuse, despite being widely recognized as real harms, are not reimbursable DSM-V codes, meaning insurance companies do not pay clinicians for these diagnoses. This financial reality pressures many therapists to label children with reimbursable disorders in order to collect a paycheck. Misdiagnosing a child in this way is, in itself, a form of psychological abuse—further pathologizing the child, obscuring the true source of trauma, and setting the stage for lifelong misunderstanding of their experiences. This has long-term adverse effects on emotional regulation, relational trust, and systemic inflammation in the body. This phenomenon has been widely studied, and yet courts continue to ignore and induce it.

The deeper truth of this question lies in the language itself—the bond. In the wrong hands, knowledge of psychology, linguistics, law, or philosophy is used not for healing but for control. There is no petri dish for jurisprudence or psychology. Dark triad personalities—narcissistic, Machiavellian, psychopathic—study attachment and separation to manipulate, not to expand empathy. This is why Family Court, in my view, has become a “psychopath sanctuary.”

The Human Bond
As humans, we are wired both scientifically and spiritually to bond deeply with our children, a profound heart-to-heart connection. For millennia, this has been cultivated through natural birth, breastfeeding, baby-wearing, and co-sleeping. These practices, which were standard for thousands of years, are at the core of healthy child development and fusing empathy. Yet in the past century, society has pressured mothers into abandoning their children to institutional care. Mothers were fed a deceptive liberation concept and coerced into leaving children at daycare from as early as six weeks old—or any time before the former age of seven, which is when children traditionally entered school in first grade. We know how influential the ages of zero to seven are for ego development, as children are sponging up core beliefs about reality during this time. We were persuaded to hand the majority of family time over to undertrained, underpaid, unhealed people working for government systems, rather than our own flesh and blood family systems that uphold our personal values—thus weakening our sacred bond.

We are now seeing the long-term consequences of this shift: a rise in attachment disorders, which cause problems far into adulthood, as well as vagus nerve damage and a plethora of autoimmune disorders. All of this can be linked to early interference with child development—even interventions like forced C-sections can affect a child’s nervous system for decades. To fully cultivate empathy, a child must have a healthy bond with their parents. Without parental bonds, empathy cannot fully grow. Loving parents understand this and will protect that spiritual and parental bond of heart and soul with their lives.

The Financial Bond
Family Court, however, is interested in a different kind of bond: a monetary one. Every stamped birth certificate becomes a contract of financial value. While families enter the system believing they will safeguard the parental bond, they quickly learn the courts’ true allegiance is to the financial value that child represents. Family court does not disclose that it functions as an ADR (alternative dispute resolution) court—an administrative system that operates very differently than the judicial courts the public is taught to understand. This court has learned that the best way to get the maximum monetary bond is to destroy the parental one. Title IV-D & E funding incentivizes courts to break parental bonds because destroyed families yield the greatest profit. Legalese is weaponized through double meanings and contradictory codes, ensuring that no matter what, loopholes serve the system—not families. We foolishly assume the system operates with the same values and definitions we hold dear, not realizing we are speaking a completely different language. This is deception by design: love vs. fear, honesty vs. manipulation, empathy vs. exploitation. Good vs. evil.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me a capacity for love, compassion, and acceptance beyond anything I could have imagined. It showed me that every soul is on a path of salvation, and that true wisdom is not found in bypassing suffering but in moving through it.

Facing malevolence directly—not just reading about good and evil—changed me. It brought new meaning to biblical texts that described this darkness amongst humanity, and expanded my awareness of the spiritual battle we are in. Amid chaos and cruelty, including that imposed on innocent children, I’ve developed a depth of value for the sacredness and fleeting nature of life itself. My daughters and I called these moments of joy “sparkles in your eyes”—that inner light reminding us to keep going even in darkness and to harness gratitude. I have not seen their eyes nor heard their voices in nine long months, and I grieve my children who are still alive, yet frozen in time.

Suffering also stripped away illusions: that success means status or wealth, that systems are here to protect us, that America is always safe for children. After family court extortion, I survived homelessness by living in my truck through a harsh mountain winter. I have never felt so unwanted and invisible in my life, and yet I persevered through that time with gratitude for the opportunity to release judgement for all the homeless people I met who shared stories of coming from the foster care system, domestic violence, and being sexually abused as children. It showed me the truth about what our construct has created.

As a culture we turn a blind eye to the marginalized, shuffling them into places that give the empty promise of “resources.” As most DV survivors discover, shelters are more akin to halfway houses: they scare middle-class children, loop survivors in red tape, and enforce 60-day cutoffs, leaving families worse off than where they started. Instead of creating lasting stability, DV shelters become a dead end for former stay-at-home mothers, accelerating their descent in socioeconomic class. During the winter I was unhoused, I had my children trafficked to their abuser; was retaliated against by institutions for exposing the collusion; was the target of revenge by my family, who did not want me to go public with my memoir; and experienced continued estrangement by those who were supposed to love and protect me—even on Christmas Day. Yet by facing obstacles that felt impossible for the human spirit to endure, I discovered a well of strength I never knew I had.

At the end of the day, the only one I have to face in the mirror is myself, and because I am a mother—I must also make choices that are in right relationship with my daughters. Their eyes are the most telling mirror of all, and I pray every day that I will see them again soon.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a belief you used to hold tightly but now think was naive or wrong?
I used to believe that our systems were here to protect us—that if you worked hard, followed the rules, and lived honestly, no harm would come to you. I thought America was safe for children, that human rights were guaranteed, and that most people, deep down, were good. I even believed child trafficking was a “conspiracy theory.” I was naive to the depth of systemic corruption and human cruelty. I thought evil would be obvious, and that I could recognize it when I encountered it, but I was wrong. I saw firsthand how those who are devoid of empathy, conscience, or remorse can exploit, manipulate, and harm children for profit, while masquerading as ordinary people. Satan smiled right in my face, and it wasn’t metaphorical—it was sitting on a bench in a black robe.

Society tells people that “most mothers get full custody,” but the reality is far different. Well-documented research from the last three decades shows that contested divorces overwhelmingly favor fathers, especially when mothers are stay-at-home parents. As Lundy Bancroft notes, “95% of mothers in non-contested divorces get partial or full custody, because healthy fathers do not want to take children from their mothers. Only abusers want to take children from their mothers.” In raw data from organizations like the Mass Family Advocacy Coalition, most contested divorces end with mothers losing the majority of custody. Survivors rarely hear these statistics from DV non-profits, which often water down the root cause.

In upper-class families, abusive fathers often wield money as their weapon rather than a fist. The children themselves become pawns in this strategic, coercive game, used to manipulate and control the mother. Family Court, working alongside licensed professionals, perpetuates this system, extorting families of their retirement accounts, savings, assets, and inheritances. The children are deprived of safe parental bonds, accumulating adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) at alarming rates. These harms are inflicted by racketeers who strategize nationally in organizations like the Association of Family and Conciliatory Courts (AFCC), Masonic Lodges, and the American Bar Association (ABA). I learned firsthand that my Constitutional Rights could be stomped on in Family Court, and that using the legal fact of “Void Ab Initio” would be met with punishment.

The common thread we are identifying is that the court is not only targeting the safe parent, but specifically the holistic and spiritual parents who live more independently of the systems. This pattern suggests an intentional effort to eliminate those with expanded conscious awareness who choose a peaceful, harmonious, and self-sustainable path. From a broader perspective, the system is transferring custody to abusers regardless of gender. Once you are in, the court holds you hostage—demanding that you pay up or lose your children. These tactics, reminiscent of high-control groups and terrorist organizations, appear to be a form of treason against the American family.

Furthermore, my pursuit of a Masters in Counseling from a Buddhist-centered university taught me a similar lesson. The deeper I studied, the clearer it became that the profession was built on foundations I could not in good conscience uphold. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V), the so-called “Bible” of psychiatry, is not a neutral or scientific guide—it is an instrument of social conditioning. I came to see how modern mental health systems work with education, healthcare, penal systems, and family court to reinforce this social engineering. It pathologizes every natural human response to trauma, grief, and oppression. It has historically been used to diagnose women as “hysterical” for resisting abuse, to medicalize the sacred cycles of life, and to drug children whose pain is actually a reflection of an unhealthy cultural environment. When I saw that law enforcement could use suspicion of a vague DSM-V qualifier like having “non-sensical” or “rapid speech” to involuntarily institutionalize domestic violence survivors and children, I knew this manual and the field of psychology were being weaponized.

The lowering of the age of consent for a minor to mental healthcare is not about a child’s rights. This is a strategic move by professional gatekeepers to exploit the teenage brain’s developmental stage—marked by limited impulse control and a tendency to test out identities—in order to groom, coerce, and indoctrinate. These shifts are inspired by the American Law Institute’s Model Penal Code from 1955 and the controversial work of Alfred Kinsey, a predecessor of Richard A. Gardner, a child psychiatrist who minimized child sexual abuse claims. This has escalated into contrived fields like synergetic play therapy, where a forced trust relationship with an adult stranger is normalized in a legal and board-protected environment. Play is an innate part of childhood that doesn’t need to be taught; it was a natural, beautiful part of my life as a stay-at-home mother, but the courts did not protect or facilitate this essential environment for our child. This artificial therapy, operating without cameras, leaves our children dangerously vulnerable in what amounts to a child predator’s playground. The DSM-V was the gateway.

I came to see that psychiatry and psychology, as they are institutionally practiced, are not primarily about healing. What appears to be help is, in reality, a PSYOP. These traditional Western mental health and education industries function as instruments of diagnosis and profit, with deep roots in eugenics, colonialism, and indoctrination—enforcing rigid norms that push parents to have their children “assessed” to protect grades, instead of allowing them to develop naturally in more flexible learning environments. They train practitioners to separate people from their inner wisdom and to conform them to oppressive standards.

As a former public school teacher, I had already witnessed this fundamentally unhealthy and unnatural standard, which is why I chose to homeschool and favor Waldorf and Montessori education for my children. My work explores clairvoyance—a skill the DSM-V can classify as a symptom and use to gaslight and threaten those with spiritual gifts. By consenting to licensing and using DSM-V codes for insurance agencies, even the term “mindfulness” becomes a commercialized marketing tool for the lucrative trauma industry, which works hand in hand with the psychiatric pharmaceutical industry.

The most critical harm lies in how they convince minor children that something is inherently wrong with them—violating their sense of self and undermining the integrity of their developing identity. This manipulation lures them into cycles of lifelong medication, disrupted growth, and potential addiction. Diagnoses and assessments function as a deal with the devil, and it is impossible to make only partial deals with evil. We must opt out and work to recreate heaven on earth.

The lesson is stark: these harms are not accidental. They are intentional structures of control—systemic, coordinated, and global. Once I saw that, I could not unsee it. While this is heartbreaking, it is also liberating. When we are conscious of the truth, we stop colluding with the lie.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
My heart and soul. My divine imprint.

I’ve already had my name smeared, my identity mischaracterized, my children stolen, and my possessions stripped through family court. I’ve lost homes, savings, career, and reputation. Yet what remains is unshakable: I am a mother who knows her daughters’ favorite homemade meals and bedtime songs, a nurturer who held wash cloths on my children’s foreheads when they were sick, a woman who holds survivors’ pain over late-night phone calls, a soul who fights for children in the face of evil. There is no pain I cannot hold, and I will stay in the game until every last child trapped in this nightmare is freed from this child torture enterprise.

I am not my credentials or possessions. I am heart, spirit, and truth. My daughters inspired me to reclaim my authenticity after years of shrinking under abuse, and I live transparently so they may always see the real me. Imperfect, but pure of heart and soul. My love for them—infinite and devoted. Systems can strip names, roles, and worldly goods—but they cannot erase a mother committed to love, truth, and freedom.
