Kim Korte
Perception & Emotion Management Strategist | Creator of the Sensory Sync Method | Author | Podcast Host
Hi, I’m Kim Korte. I teach people how they construct their emotions—like recipes—so they can understand what they feel, why they feel it, and what to do next.Through my book Yucky Yummy Savory Sweet: Understanding the Flavors of Emotions and live experiences like the Sensory Sync Method, I help individuals and groups reconnect with their sensory system—the internal guide that delivers emotional “ingredients” like perceptions, memories, and focus. Once you understand how those ingredients mix, you can recognize the recipe behind your emotions and revise it.If emotions have ever felt mysterious or overwhelming, you’re not alone. But when you understand how they’re made, you can shift your emotional experience—on purpose, with resilience.This isn’t just something I teach—it’s something I live.
“The more I understand what I feel, the more I become who I am.”* - Kim

Flavors of Emotions Podcast
My podcast continues the conversation around emotions, perceptions, and how we can change our world when we better understand how to manage them without fear, developing curiosity about how we and others feel.
About Kim
I’ve always been insatiably curious—fascinated by ideas, connections, and the deeper “why” behind everything. I like to think I have the curiosity of a three-year-old who can ask “why” a hundred times a day.I’m also one of those people who can walk into a room, lift the energy, and help others feel just a little more seen. That natural connection with people—and my need to make sense of the invisible stuff—has carried me through some of life’s toughest chapters.It’s also what led me to write Yucky Yummy Savory Sweet: Understanding the Flavors of Emotions.After some big emotional events, identity-shifting grief, and trying to logic my way through emotional fog, I couldn’t “positive-think” or mindset myself out of it, I became obsessed with one question: What are emotions, really?What I discovered changed everything. Emotions aren’t random or fixed—they’re constructed.
And like a recipe, they’re made from ingredients we can learn to recognize, understand, and even remix.That insight became the foundation of the Sensory Sync Method™—a science-backed, metaphor-rich approach to emotional awareness that helps people reconnect before the disconnect gets louder. It’s built on five powerful pillars: perception, interoception, focus, granularity, and energy.Today, I help individuals and teams make sense of their emotional landscape—using food metaphors, grounded science, and real-life experience to turn emotional confusion into clarity, connection, and resilience.This isn’t just something I teach. It’s something I live.
Every. Single. Day.I’m also a dog-mom, wife, sister, friend, and entrepreneur. My husband and I are self-proclaimed foodies who love good food, wine, and conversation.And while I don’t know many people who don’t enjoy seeing the world—I do know I’m not one of them. I believe traveling to other cultures doesn’t just show us the world—it expands who we are within it.
