Reality star and supermom Kate Gosselin (GAHS'-lihn) is launching a series that will profile everyday women facing personal challenges.

The TLC network said Thursday the new show, "Twist of Kate," will follow Gosselin as she visits the homes and workplaces of her subjects, where she will exchange insights for living. The 12-episode season premieres in late summer.

The single mother of young twins and sextuplets, Gosselin will also revisit her family life for a series of "Kate Plus 8" specials beginning in June.

Kate and her then-husband Jon starred for several seasons in the hit reality series "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which collapsed last fall as the couple's marriage fell apart. This week, Jon Gosselin sued his ex-wife for primary custody of their eight children.
