Why Your Ego is Holding Back Your Speaking Career (and How to Drop It)
Description
Show Notes:
This week, Katrina is going deep on a topic that’s been showing up in her life, her client work, and the speaking world: ego—and how it can quietly sabotage your growth, especially if you dream of speaking on bigger stages.
In this candid, stream-of-consciousness episode, Katrina shares:
- The moment she realized she was second-guessing her own bold messaging—and why she’s leaning into it anyway
- How your ego might be killing your speaking career before it even starts
- Why starting small (yes, even in a room of 20 people) is the secret to booking big opportunities
- A personal story about being told to “tone it down” and how it shaped her brand voice
- The difference between chasing perfection and showing up with discipline, even when it’s uncomfortable
- Why building self-awareness is one of the most important skills for business growth
Katrina also opens up about the mental chatter, insecurities, and mindset shifts that come with stepping into a “next level” version of yourself—both in business and on stage. If you’ve ever struggled with the fear of being “too much” or the temptation to skip the hard, unglamorous work, this episode is a must-listen.
