    Simple Mindset Shift That Will Enhance Your Life EP 103

    Simple Mindset Shift That Will Enhance Your Life EP 103

    This is a simple mindset shift inspired by a joke from one of my favorite comedians. It can be so easy for us to focus on the negative aspects of life. All the things that aren't going right. All the things we can't control. But when we flip the switch and think about what in our life is going well and that we have the power to do something that will positively influence our future, we're taking back control. When we believe that the future is greater than our past, everything changes. Life becomes more fun. We start noticing things we never did before. We give ourselves permission to explore our passions and pursue our dreams. I hope this video inspires you to do more of what you love.

    How to Launch Before You're Ready w/ Victoria Payne EP 101

    If you're waiting to launch your creative project, this episode is for you. I chatted with writer, story coach, and brand storyteller Victoria Payne about her latest project, The Naked Librarian.

    Creative Accountability EP 98

    It's way too easy for us to talk ourselves out of creating. This is why it's important for us to have an accountability partner or create a system that sets us up to hold ourselves accountable for doing work that matters to us.

Episode 88: 6 Things to let go of

What a great episode, Kate. I loved it! Of the 6 things to let go of, the biggest one I struggle with is comparison.

Keep up the great work!

Love this podcast!

This podcast is so uplifting plus Kate has such a way with interviewing her guests. So genuine and supportive. I’m always learning something new, thinking of things a little differently, and challenged to dream big.
