What if the secret to success is completely BACKWARD from what you’ve been taught your whole life? You’ve already broken free from the 9-to-5 grind, hit the road with your family, and built a business that supports your freedom. But what if how you feel, not what you achieve, is the real key to success? In this solo episode, Kate is flipping the script on what we think it means to be successful. Spoiler alert: It’s not about hitting six figures, growing your social media, or chasing the next big milestone. Instead, it’s about embodying joy, confidence, and abundance before the goals are met. Kate dives into her own story of burnout and goal-chasing madness, and how shifting her focus to feeling good first completely transformed her life—and her business! If you’re a high-achieving woman on the road, running your business while juggling family life, this episode is your reminder that success doesn’t have to be exhausting. It can feel good.Key Takeaways

1️⃣ Why Chasing Goals Can Leave You Empty

Hit big goals and still feel unfulfilled? It’s because you’re tying happiness to achievements!

2️⃣ Feel Good First, Watch Success Follow

When you prioritize feeling good—whether through movement, mindfulness, or gratitude—everything else starts falling into place.

3️⃣ The Science Behind Feeling Good

Your brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) literally filters the world to match what you focus on. Visualize success, and your mind will find ways to make it happen.

4️⃣ How to Shift from Hustle to Alignment

Simple practices like morning check-ins, visualization, and gratitude can transform not just your mindset but your entire business.

5️⃣ Envisioning Your Million-Dollar Self
