Owning Her Authority Podcast | For Ascending Women Ready to Boldly Amplify Their Impact

Join Kate this week as she dives into the next piece of IIN’s Circle of Life Exercise - Physical Activity. Joyful movement is an integral part of Kate’s life, but that’s taken years of embracing sweating as a means of mental health support and establishing habits that support an active lifestyle to make it part of her daily routine. It can be difficult to add movement to your day when you are alre...

If you could reach back through the time-space continuum, knowing what you know now, what is something you wish you could share with yourself, from ten years ago? “I would say to that 40-year-old, you are worthy as you are. You are worthy whether or not you get married, whether or not you have kids, whether or not you succeed in the normal standards that society says you succeed.” episode notes |...

This week we welcome fellow podcaster and Master Midlife Mindset Coach, Loukia Mastrodimos, to The Live By Design Podcast family as we continue exploring IIN's Circle of Life Exercise with a focus on Health. Loukia shares her journey of being a lifelong educator and at the peak of her career, when she realized she was unfulfilled, unhealthy, and miserable.  It was at that time that she decide...

So, what are these “primary foods” you keep talking about, you ask? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Funnily enough, they’re not what you’d think! The Institute for Integrative Nutrition taught me the value of nourishing yourself with what feeds your heart and soul first, and that when these areas of life are given the care they deserve it’s easier to then focus on your secondary foods (what you actually eat!) and choos...

What does “Health” mean to you? For me, it means making myself a priority. It looks like fueling my body with food that blesses it. It looks like meditating, journaling, and moving my body to support my mental and physical health. It looks like reading and being a life-long learner to nurture my soul. It looks like painting and sewing and creating and crafting because it makes my heart sing. It lo...

Inspiration can come in the unlikeliest of places. Like from my favorite love story meets historical fiction mixed with time travel and sexy accents kind of TV show…Outlander. I was recently binging the latest season when these lines spoke to my heart. I was going through a challenging season and feeling a little down, but I found comfort in hearing, “You are alive. You are whole. All is well.” An...

Did 2020 leave you feeling a little bruised? Same. There were some absolutely bright, beautiful moments last year, but it was also one of the most challenging years for me personally to date. Did I come out of the year stronger and more resilient then ever? Hell yes. Am I exhausted from all that growth? You know it. Because of this, I’ve decided in 2021 to go back to basics. I want to build a stro...

This week's mini meditation episode is inspired by the work of Yung Pueblo. He's a meditator, writer, and speaker, and if you don't already follow him on Instagram I highly recommend it. He recently shared a post titled, "12 Ways I Will Make The Most of 2021," and his insights deeply resonated with me. I hope they encourage and inspire you as well as we enter this new year...

Last week's episode When Enough Was Enough Featuring Jamie Hill was chock full of inspirational goodness, so much so that I didn't want Jamie's advice to her ten-years-ago-self to get lost in a longer episode, so we're breaking it into a separate mini episode! Give a listen if listening to someone dream big will encourage and inspire you to do the same. Because we get just this...

After having her “something’s gotta change” moment, Jamie Hill decided to take control of her life. Now almost two years later, she and her family are approaching financial freedom, they’ve purchased their forever home, and she’s transitioned from a traditional 9-5 to working her own business which she’s grown as a side hustle into a full-time career. Most of all, her hard work in every area of li...

I am so excited this week to share with you a conversation I had with my cousin Amy Price. Amy is one of the most creative people I know, and today she’s sharing her story of how she came to work on Broadway, the pivots she’s taken since COVID-19 entered the picture (here’s a hint, her thriving Etsy store is the result of a desire to protect the people in her community and grew wildly from there),...

So if you're feeling like you're stuck in a scarcity mindset, or feeling fearful, o...

Often times I find money is a taboo topic, so let's break down that mental barrier, learn together, and walk confidently in the direction of our dreams. I've learned from personal experience that once you have a financial plan, any stress that was once associated with your finances starts to lift. Even if you're paying off debt, or saving an emergency fund, or working towards anothe...

Well, I've been having that exact experience with Jen Sincero's You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life . I've listened to it on Audible many times, but I recently picked up a paperback copy and it's been speaking directly t...

This week I'm sharing all about some recent developments for our little family, including getting our home under contract to sell so that we can relocate to our dream hometown AND practice geoarbitrage at the same time.
