You know I love talking about mindset, business, and all things personal growth—but today, we’re diving into something just as powerful (and often overlooked)... SLEEP. 😴💥

In this episode of Do Life Big, I sat down with the amazing Dr. Mikel Segal, a physician and wellness coach, to talk about why sleep is THE ultimate superpower for a longer, healthier life. And let me tell you—if you’ve ever thought “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”, this convo will change your mind FAST.

Here’s the truth:

🚀 Lack of sleep is holding you back. It messes with your energy, focus, metabolism, and even your ability to handle stress.
🛌 Your body HEALS while you sleep. This is when your cells repair, your memory strengthens, and your body fights off disease.
🌙 Quality sleep = a longer, more vibrant life. Studies show that prioritizing sleep can literally add YEARS to your life!

And if you’re thinking “But Kathi, I try to sleep and I just CAN’T!”—don’t worry, we’ve got you. Dr. Mikel shared some game-changing sleep hacks you NEED to hear, including:

✅ The real reason so many people struggle with sleep (and how to fix it!)
✅ Simple sleep hygiene habits that actually work (hint: it’s NOT just turning off screens)
✅ Why sleep deprivation is killing your energy and making you crave all the wrong foods
✅ How sleep directly affects your stress levels, mood, and even weight loss

If you’re ready to start waking up feeling refreshed, energized, and unstoppable, this episode is a MUST-LISTEN. 🎧✨

🔥 Your challenge for today: Pick ONE small sleep habit to improve tonight. Maybe it’s dimming the lights before bed, setting a consistent bedtime, or skipping that late-night social media scroll. Small shifts = BIG results!

And don’t forget to tag me @katherinereuter and @mikelsegalMD on Instagram with your biggest takeaway! Let’s all commit to getting better sleep and unlocking our full potential. 🚀💤

Sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone—and it’s time to break the cycle! 🙅‍♀️🚫

In this week’s episode of Do Life Big, we’re tackling one of the biggest mindset traps out there: tying self-worth to achievements. It’s the sneaky little lie that keeps us stuck, constantly moving the finish line and never feeling “good enough.”

But here’s the truth: Your worth isn’t earned—it’s inherent. You don’t need another milestone, title, or paycheck to prove it. You are already worthy. Right now. As you are. Period. 💛

✅ Why chasing external validation keeps you feeling “not enough” (and how to break free!)
✅ The one mindset shift that transformed an entrepreneur’s success (spoiler: it wasn’t about making more money!)
✅ Simple, daily practices to rewire your brain for unshakable self-worth 🧠✨

💥 Challenge for you: Take a moment to rewrite your story. Instead of “I’ll be worthy when…” say: “I am worthy now because…” Fill in the blank and OWN IT! 🙌

Do you ever feel like fear is calling the shots in your life or business? Like it’s whispering, “You can’t do this,” “What if you fail?” or “Who do you think you are?”

Well, guess what? Fear is a LIAR. 👏 It never truly disappears, but here’s the kicker—you don’t have to wait for it to leave to take action. In this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m getting real about fear, how it holds us back, and how to crush it so we can break free from survival mode and start living boldly!

👉 Here’s the truth: Fear shows up for everyone. Even the most successful people who look like they’ve got it all together feel the fear—but they don’t let it stop them. Fear doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path; it means you’re on the verge of something amazing.

🔥 Why fear doesn’t go away—and why that’s okay!
🔥 The survival mode trap (and how to get out of it).
🔥 My personal story of staring fear in the face (from teacher to entrepreneur—and beyond!).
🔥 How to reframe fear as your green light instead of a stop sign.
🔥 A 5-step plan to take action and crush your goals even when fear is present.

💡 Action Step #1: The next time fear pops up, don’t hit the brakes. Hit the gas. 🚦 Let fear remind you that you’re stepping into growth, not danger.

💡 Action Step #2: Reconnect with your big vision. What’s your “why”? What’s that future you’re working so hard to create? When you focus on the long game, fear doesn’t stand a chance.

💡 Action Step #3: Take small, bold actions. Fear shrinks when you move!

You’ve got everything you need to start showing fear who’s boss. Remember, it’s not about being fearless; it’s about feeling the fear and going for it anyway. You’re not alone—I’ve been there, and I’m cheering for you every step of the way. Let’s do this together! 💪✨
