Climbing with Coach Kiah

Most of us know better. We know the HOW or WHAT to make us feel our best physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and all the ways. Most of the time, the problem isn’t that we don’t KNOW, the problem is that we’re not DOING what we know to do. So on today’s episode, I dive into knowing better vs. doing better.  In this episode, we’ll chat about: A few things that get in the way of our...

I recently got home from Emily Reuschel’s ASCEND retreat which brings rural women together who are ready to find community, growth, and step into the next chapter of their lives. During this retreat, there was a theme that kept coming up: The concept of how hard it is to close a good chapter. I resonated with this struggle so deeply, so today we’re going to talk through that idea and what’s on the...

This is a really exciting week for me. As I'm recording this, I'm getting ready to head to Fort Worth, TX. I have been chosen as an honoree of this year’s Cowgirl Magazine Cowgirl 30 Under 30 . As I’ve been preparing for this amazing opportunity, I noticed a lot of feelings of imposter syndrome coming up in me. Things like, “Do I even deserve this award?” and, “Am I worthy of this honor?” So while...

As a dreamer, I tend to get caught up in the future, dreaming of big bold audacious dreams for my life. It’s great, but constantly living in the future has a tendency to steal my attention from being present in the moment.

This might be a weird question… but does your wardrobe spark joy? How do you feel when you open up your closet? Do you have some clothes you love, some that fit, some that don’t, some that are sentimental, and maybe some you call you “goal” clothes for when you can finally fit into them? Does your closet make you feel shame? If so, then it’s time for a refresh.   What would it feel like to open up...

The main premise being that there is really nothing about you to fix. You’re already awesome.    Alison Faulkner is a...

I have broken up with my scale. Here’s the thing: scales aren’t bad. They are a hunk of metal and plastic, there is nothing moral about them. They are an inanimate object that’s job is to provide data. And that data isn’t even bad! Whether it’s higher or lower than you’d like, it’s simply a string of numbers measuring a mass. Now, all that said, our relationship with this totally neutral object ma...

Here we are. The last podcast episode of the year! It blows my mind that we’re wrapping up another year. I think people feel a mixed bag of emotions about the end of the year. I want us to embrace the perspective of gratitude; gratitude that you’ve come this far, that you’ve overcome 100% of your hardest days, that you’ve grown so much over the past year, and that you have the gift of another year...

Today we’re going to talk about the Moldy Shame Monster. This was inspired by a recent trip to the dentist and the shame I felt going into the appointment. Flossing shame, in fact.

I wanted to keep this week’s episode short and sweet, because I’d love for you to spend more time with yourself and the people that you love than with me.
