How To Be Your Own Muse

In this episode, I'm interviewing Empowered Paycheck beta graduate, Rebecca Oosterhoff. 🌊✨ UPDATE since recording this episode: Rebecca has quit her job where she was unhappy!!! 😱✨ Her words: "I realized sometimes I have to make changes so the universe doesn't force them. I feel like I'm being pulled and act more in alignment with my true nature on a daily basis, as opposed to begrudgingly accepting the path I was on" Listen to Rebecca's story about how she regulates her emotions around a stressful job, and believed in herself a little bit each day to start building her dream business.

Jackie is freakin awesome. She was the one I hired to help me when I was emotionally struggling in my 9 to 5…. Let me back up! Over two years ago, I got this really amazing job offer.

In this episode, Jackie shares her back story of living on food stamps in San Fransisco to now living in Sedona + working for herself. And we reflect & tell the story of me quitting my job + how we both make money post-corporate America. Jackie's Instagram: @thefruitsandseeds (Her content is so hilarious.

If you were forced into any religion, cult or belief system - and deep down KNEW in your gut that something was off - this podcast is for you. May it be one step in your healing process as you return to your unique, divine muse. For this spooky season, I get into one of my own personal demons… being raised in a very strict christian religion that lead me to believe that I would go to hell for drinking coffee or hanging out with my friends on a sunday. The visceral fear was so incredibly deep that it absolutely ruled my life. In this episode, I tell my own story on how I broke out of Mormonism, what my relationship with my family is like now and give guidance to anyone else who may be in the same boat. I also share and advocate for resources that may help you continue your momentum.

In this solo episode, Katie will be discussing the six tests that you need to overcome in order to achieve success in your career, just in the Lord of the Rings on their journey to Mordor. 👀 These "bumps" in the road can be conquered, (or avoided altogether!) to help you secure a higher paying job. 👑 Exciting news: The Empowered Paycheck beta program is now accepting participants! Join us for a transformative six-week journey starting on March 11th.

In this episode, i had the ABSOLUTE pleasure and chills while speaking with Kallie Klug, a somatic psychology expert. She dropped some knowledge and shared her insights on utilizing parts work to heal trauma and make decisions more intuitively.(BTW… Kallies Tiktok and IG are: Kallie.Somatics. Her content is really informative) Kallie also discussed how through her work, she helps people access the different "parts" of themselves, allowing them to better understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. By doing so, you can start to work with yourself on past traumas and make decisions that align with their true selves.I especially really loved how SELF sufficient the process is. ((It’s literally just you and your body and mind)))She also spoke about the importance of making new friends while avoiding people pleasing, highlighting the fact that it's possible to create genuine connections without sacrificing one's own needs and desires.BONUS, you’re welcome: I shared how these techniques allowed me to trust in the birthing process and have a positive experience without an epidural Overall, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in somatic psychology or looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and their relationships. Kallie's insights are both informative and inspiring, and i am grateful AF to have had her on the show.
