Today, I want to share something incredibly vulnerable with you. Because today is the 2-year anniversary of quitting my cushy $180K/year tech job to bet on myself with $0 guaranteed income. People have asked me over the years, "Katy, was it easy to quit your job." I laughed. HELL NO. It took delusion, faith, $50K cash saved up, 8 months building my personal brand, and a helluva lot of courage. The day before I officially quit, I wrote myself a letter. I wanted to capture exactly why I was...

I just finished my first real speaking event! But I almost didn't make it to stage...The past 2 days I was out sick with an awful stomach bug.I was pretty bummed because I had planned to host a live Identity Activation yesterday for 50 women, and I was worried I wouldn't feel ok for this speaking event. Felt like everything was crashing at once. Looping thoughts. Couldn't sleep. My anxiety was on high alert. I decided to surrender. What was meant to be, would be. Before I went to bed, I...

I was playing with fire today. Literally. Using some matches for a video I'm making... (coming to TikTok soon) To demonstrate a problem I see all the time. Women dimming their light, burning out.Walking around extinguished rather than FULLY ALIVE. As a result, the world misses a whole lot of magic. It doesn't have to be this way. We can't just wait until Hilary Duff drops a new album to feel alive again (IYKYK). I've designed my life & business around what lights me up (the same way I teach...

After spending 72 hours running around NYC and then the whole weekend flying to Africa, I finally rebranded my LinkedIn this week to reflect my latest career pivot (or expansion). (In case you missed it → I shared all about the Why behind the shift here) I did NOT anticipate the courage it would take to evolve my whole professional identity in 1 giant update. I'm not new to evolution, but this is my boldest public identity shift yet. (btw - check it out and lmk what you think of the new...

I haven't posted on LinkedIn or sent an email in 11 days. Not because reach is down or I'm signed off until January. Honestly, I've been MIA simply because I needed space. We glorify "never missing" and showing up consistently.I've found the most important part of enabling 10x progress is to first STOP what you're doing altogether, reassess priorities, and reapproach. You can achieve lesser goals without much additional effort... or you can reconnect with yourself, get clear on what you truly...

I almost didn't share this with you. But a whisper inside told me I had to. Because this might be exactly what you need. I've been secretly building a space on the backend with my most visionary clients. A space I wish I had when I began building my personal brand and business. A space where it's normal to show up as the whole person and feel 100% supported. A space rooted in authenticity, depth, and activating your highest potential. This mastermind is where visionary leaders come together...

I’m on a plane again… As a full-time digital nomad this is nothing new I love planes because they’re portals. You can close your eyes and wake up in a new city, a new continent, a new culture. I love to reflect and ideate in the sky — somehow big goals feel way more possible. (do you do this too?) Just now, I was reflecting on everything I said yes to in November. It's about to get more than a little WILD in my world 🤪 Here's what's going down: → Nov 1st We kick off the 21-Day Massive...
