Fave Self CEO Podcast

Most of us communicate just fine... until there's pressure. In this episode, I'm sharing the story of an emcee gig that completely got into my head - despite years of experience speaking on television, stages, and live events. We talk about what pressure does to our confidence, why even experienced communicators get rattled, and the lesson that changed the way I think about public speaking. Becaus...

This week's episode is less of a lesson and more of a catch-up. I'm sharing a little life lately update, including tornado warnings and thunderstorms, my first 10-game homestand with the Goldeyes, my first photoshoot since buzzing my hair, and a few reminders that life doesn't always need a big takeaway attached to it. Sometimes it's enough to simply be living it. 🖤 Be your fave, Kahla

About a month ago, I shaved my head. Since then, I've been asked the same two questions over and over: "Why did you do it?" and "Aren't you afraid men won't find you attractive anymore?" So today, I'm answering both. We're talking about the reactions, the surprising things I've learned, why this haircut was fifteen years in the making, and what it taught me about trusting myself. Spoiler alert: th...

TEDx Winnipeg 2026 was yesterday and honestly… my brain is still recovering!!

In this episode, I’m talking about: ✨ Why how you start is NOT how you finish ✨ How commitm...

I went quiet for seven - almost eight - months and this is the catch-up episode. From a packed fall season and a business rebrand to grief, change, and letting things fall away, I’m sharing where I’ve been, what shifted, and how I’m approaching this next chapter. We’re also talking about my word for the year, inhabit , and why I’m no longer forcing myself to stay in places that don’t feel like hom...

We all get nerves - whether it’s an NHL arena, a client pitch, hitting “go live” on Instagram, or asking someone out on a date. The butterflies, the blank brain, the “why did I say yes to this?” panic…  In this episode, I’m sharing my pre-speaking confidence routine - the simple rituals I lean on before stepping on stage, emceeing an event, or walking in to run a workshop. These are the tools that...

September is here, and for me that means one thing: the Gauntlet. Between emceeing events, the start of the NHL season, client coaching sessions, volunteer work, and everything else that fills my calendar, this month is packed. And while I love what I do, I’ve learned that getting through seasons like this takes more than coffee and hustle - it takes care. In this episode of The Fave Self CEO Podc...

Sometimes the hardest thing isn’t doing the thing - it’s letting someone help you with it. In this episode, I’m sharing real-life moments (from sushi dates to TEDx to gala dress shopping) that reminded me why accepting support matters - and how it can completely shift your energy, your confidence, and even your results. We’ll talk about: Why “I got it” culture keeps us stuck The practical + spirit...

In this episode, I’m taking you back to 2016 - to the moment a random Pinterest quote cracked my whole life wide open.

We’ll talk about: The quote that still guides me every single day The hidden difference betw...

This week, I’ve been doing a whole bunch of medium-sized things that came with maximum-sized resistance. You know the kind - the ick, the bleh, the I’ll do it later kind of feeling. In this episode, I’m walking you through my personal resistance reset - the way I gently move myself through the things I don’t want to do (even though I do want to do them, you know?).

In this episode, I’m diving into the pressure we all feel to “have a thing.”     You know - the brand, the niche, the aesthetic, the entire personality wrapped in a bow. Whether it’s being the fitness girl, the taco girl, the apple-kitchen mom (iykyk), or even the umbrella-collecting weather girl like I once was… it can all start to feel like a box we didn’t mean to climb into. Let this be your re...

Ever been mid-sentence, saying something that actually matters … and you can feel people zoning out? Maybe they’re nodding politely, but they’re not really locked in .
