Kati Morse LeBreton's 5 Favorite Things

Kati Morse LeBreton is a familiar face around our community. A Ponchatoula native, she is daughter to Kelly and Abby Morse, sister to Caleb Morse and wife to Michael LeBreton. After graduating Ponchatoula High School (’09) she played softball at SLU where she earned her Bachelors in Mass Communication and Masters in Organizational Communication. After some time as a broadcast journalist and sideline reporter for companies such as ESPN, Kati was the Assistant Director of Operations for Coach Willie Fritz’s Tulane Football organization for five years. Post-covid, she has worked with the Hammond DDD and SLU’s Alumni Center. As founder of The Redhead Method, she is perfectly positioned for her current role as Fidelity Bank’s Director of P.O.W.E.R. (Potential Of Women Entrepreneurs Realized) where she assists and inspires women business owners. She’s certainly a gogetter and these are her 5 favorite things…

A Good Story

Whether listening to a podcast, reading one of many physical copies of Stephen King, or watching a documentary, she’s constantly absorbing stories. As a child, the only time she’d play with Barbies was when she’d sit them down in rows and “read to them”. Kati aspires to write children’s books based on her favorite storytellers and grandfathers: Melvin Adams and Richard Morse.

The Redhead Method

Kati’s experience in both digital media and collegiate athletics opened her eyes to the huge gap in digital literacy for people of all ages and stages. So two years ago, she launched The Redhead Method which is a custom digital literacy education program which instructs how to develop positive digital habits and build healthy relationships with our digital devices.

Experiences, Not Things

Instead of buying each other Christmas gifts each year, Kati and her husband Michael plan a trip to a new city. Whether it’s a historical tour, a round of margaritas, or a few miles on rented bicycles, these trips hold some of her fondest memories. They recently went to Savannah, Georgia; and in the same day she found the place she would like to be buried (Bonaventura Cemetery) AND the country’s best dueling pianos bar (Savannah Smiles.)

Musical Theater

In 2021 Kati stepped out of her comfort zone and auditioned for the Columbia Theatre’s production of The Wizard of Oz. The Columbia’s Jim Winter took a chance on this 30-year-old with zero experience and cast her as Tree #1, and she loved every second of it. This spring, she’ll perform in the Columbia’s production of Grease. Kati encourages: Always try new things!

Her Funny Family

One of her true joys is making others laugh. She prides herself in being “the funny one” in any group. But when she’s around her family, she has some serious competition! Videos of her dad (aka “Papa Kelly”) have gone viral several times, and her brother Caleb is basically an insult comic. Laughing with her family is balm for her soul!
