I think as modern women, we all have something in common: we are busy!

“I pour into so many other people, but I think I had forgotten to pour into me.”  For the last year or so I thought I was doing fine. Sure, I had sleepless nights or more anxiety than I’d prefer…my skin was a little redder than I’d like.. but for the most part everything seemed basically ‘fine’. But when I got a chance to slow down for the summer, I began to reexamine my health and wellness. What I realized was that while I felt fine, I didn’t feel great.  I made some changes this summer in regards to my health and wellness and I must say I feel the best I’ve felt in a long time. Today I’ll share the shifts I made and what really is working for me in this season of life to feel my best.  Today on WithIn:  What I realized when I removed Instagram and made strict boundaries on screen time  Lowering the volume on wellness culture Enjoying movement for the joy of it and not for a goal of changing my body  The power of prioritizing creativity  The changes I’ve noticed after two months of taking NAD  What has changed for me since I’ve been back in therapy The superpower trifecta of sobriety, meditation and self-love  Curious about starting your own meditation practice?  Here is how to get started.

It’s the end of summer and I am back! What was going to be a two-week break from the podcast turned into a full summer of slow beautiful presence. I allowed myself to let go of my trademark hustler energy, and a softer side of me stepped forward to take the lead. This shift helped me to  experience such deeper connections with my children, JP, my parents and myself.  Today I’ll share why I needed this pause and where I’m at with these changes now that I am back on the mic.  Today on WithIn:  How burnout snuck up and blindsided me during the spring  Effectively taking a break when you are a ‘doer’  What I learned when I allowed my hustler energy to take a back seat for the first time  How I’m integrating my learnings into my real life now that I am entering autumn  Come join us this March 2026 for Clarity & Connection, an intimate Women’s Retreat on the remote, tropical coast of Cambutal, Panama.

“Mid life is not a crisis. It is a beautiful awakening’  There is a frustrating lack of information out there to support women through the physical, mental and emotional changes of perimenopause and mid life. While I’m not an expert, I have deep lived experience - from heavy periods, to a myectomy, to a hysterectomy and hormone replacement therapy - and I have a lot of thoughts on the topic.  Today I’ll share what my journey in perimenopause has looked like, and why I believe that perimenopause is not a crisis, but an invitation to beautifully blossom into the second half of your life.  Today on WithIn:  The unexpected path I took to having a myomectomy and then later a hysterectomy  How my emotional landscape changed in the aftermath of my hysterectomy  How I recreated my connection to my womb space Why I decided to pursue hormone replacement therapy post-hysterectomy despite my OB saying I ‘wasn’t a candidate’ The ‘art’ of finding the right hormone dosage: Hormones 101 How sobriety and lifestyle changes that have helped me through perimenopause  The gifts that perimenopause can bring into your life  Related episodes on WithIn:  Navigating Perimenopause: A Holistic Approach with Dr. Sara Poldmae  My Journey into Sobriety Follow Katy: IG: @katyrexing  Subscribe to Katy’s weekly Substack Newsletter Upcoming Retreats: Join us this October for an intimate Women’s Retreat at the gorgeous Miraval Resort in Arizona - October 23rd - 26th.

I’ve been experiencing a lot of transitions lately, and with those transitions I’ve been feeling a heightened sense of vulnerability around belonging. This feeling isn’t new for me. In fact, I’ve often struggled with feeling like I didn’t ‘belong’. The way I navigate these feelings has changed for the better, though, and today I’ll share how.  We’ll talk about the differences between belonging and fitting in, and how external validation pales in comparison to internal validation. Then, I’ll guide you through a short meditation you can use at any time to help you ground into yourself when the ache to belong becomes overwhelming.  Today on WithIn:  Why the feeling of belonging seems so important  The difference between belonging and fitting in  Why internal validation and self-love are more important that external validation  A guided mediation to help you strengthen your internal validation  Follow Katy: IG: @katyrexing  Subscribe to Katy’s weekly Substack Newsletter Upcoming Retreats: Join us this October for an intimate Women’s Retreat at the gorgeous Miraval Resort in Arizona - October 23rd - 26th.

Throughout much of my life, the Catholic church served as a foundation. I was raised in the church, married in the church, and I always envisioned that I would raise my children in the church. Yet, life doesn’t always turn out the way we expect.  Today, I’ll share how my child’s journey with their identity led me to realize how my own views differed from the Catholic church’s teachings, and the moment it became clear that it was time to step away from the church. I’ll also share how my relationship with God has deepened since then, and how we now view faith as a family.  Today on WithIn:  How my relationship with the Catholic church changed through my life  The experience that led me to step away from the Catholic church  My relationship with God and spirituality outside of organized religion What religion and spirituality now look like in my family  The similarities and differences between prayer and meditation  Follow Katy: IG: @katyrexing  Subscribe to Katy’s weekly Substack Newsletter
