What to do when 💩 hits the fan


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 prayed I'd wake up feeling better.

I tapped into the feeling of "it's already done", feeling like the event went so smoothly. I envisioned waking up with a fresh wave of energy.

And then it happened.

Today, I felt better just in time to show up to speak on the Career & Lifestyle Design Panel at Nomad Week in Cape Town.

The panel was a blast... and because I had to reschedule the event to Monday the 2nd, I got to invite every woman in the room building her soul-aligned business, brand, and life to attend my activation too!!

Win-win-win.

Life has a funny way of alwayyyys working out. Especially when you let go of your tight grip of controlling every step and surrender to the flow.

I share this to remind you:

When it looks like things are falling apart, sometimes they're simply clicking together.

"This or something better"

Remember that next time 💩 hits the fan.

You got this,

“Katy, you can take a day off.” I started crying on a coaching call because I genuinely believed I couldn’t. At the time, I had scaled my coaching business from 0 to 25 clients in 3 months. From the outside, it looked like things were working. I had the receipts to prove it. But behind the scenes, I had built myself another high-pressure job. No team. No boundaries. Constant calls. A nervous system that was breaking down and a business built on me being available all the time. I was so...

I haven't been posting on LinkedIn as much recently and here's the most honest reason why:I've stopped watering myself down. And sometimes I feel like I have to on there.I've been sharing my full truth over on Instagram and TikTok - I'm on Day 51/100 of daily yap videos sharing the behind the scenes of my quantum leap (check them out here).I've grown immensely from this visibility experiment, and I've met so many new friends in the process.But the more fully expressed I get on other...

I need to tell you what's happening behind the scenes right now. Because I was not prepared for it. A few days into our Magnetic March challenge, one of the powerhouse women inside sent this to the chat: I had to read it twice. This is who she's claiming to be... after just a few days doing this work. I kept scanning down the list of responses to the prompt I'd sent in... DANGGG this is the room we've created here?! These are the visionary women who said yes to becoming magnetic to money and...
