Somatic Life Coach + Nervous System Support for leaders who want to stay ambitious instead of running themselves into the ground.

We've been fed this idea taht in order to be successful, we have to be stressed.
In order to be successful, we should only sleep a couple hours a night.
Success is completely dependent on YOU doing everything and never asking for help.

That's bu****it.

Successful people know how to regulate their nervous systems. They prioritize their mental and physcial health. They create systems to support them, and hire employees to help.

What is one thing you do to relieve stress?

These are questions I regularly check in with. They help center and focus you if you’re feeling distracted and frantic. They help you be more present if you’re nervous or excited.

We have been led to believe that we must strive for perfectionism. That was instilled in us as we grew up by aiming for 100’s on our tests, never missing a day of school, being a perfect lady. But it’s impossible. Even in if you get a perfect test score, that’s more indicative of your ability to memorize answers, not necessarily learn the material.

There is not a single tv show, book, or song that’s been written about a perfect person or situation. Think about it.

We are drawn to the conflict and how they overcome the challenges. I’m not saying you need to seek out drama, there’s plenty of it.

When you’re trying to be perfect, can you step back and ask yourself why? It’s possible there’s some fear there.

Then ask yourself, if I do this thing aiming for 80-90%, how much time and energy will that free up? And will my fear really come true, or is that just a thought I’ve created in my head.

How can you embrace not being perfect today?

It’s far too easy to get wrapped up and overwhelmed by life, your job, all the news, and random events that show up out of nowhere.

I’ve noticed how much of my life was spent in a state of fight/flight/freeze/fawn. I made decisions from the feeling of ‘what will make me feel safe now’. These decisions happened with food, travel, and finances. And in the untangling of it all, I am better at catching when the anxious feelings arise. I pause and check in with my body. I look at whether I need to push because that will ultimately get me to a better place, or if I need to rest.

The questions in this post are just some of the ones I ask myself when I feel my mind and body or overwhelmed.

DM me 🖤 if this resonates.

ID: White text on black background. "Pause and check in.
What if I allow myself to feel the emotion?
What if I lay down and close my eyes for 15 minutes instead of zoning out on social media?
What if my worth is completely unrelated to how hard I work?"

Sleep is incredibly important, and it’s one of the big things I work on with my clients.

If you think it’s required to feel more rested, comment “1” below. If you think it’s not required, comment “2”.

Are you going through this?

ID: 1 - B/W picture of SuperKate smiling: “If I don’t take care of everything, it will all fall apart, no one will love me …..they might even have the same terrible thoughts about me as I have about myself.”
2 - B/W picture of NY’s Grand Central Terminal ceiling: "I worked all the time because I truly believed I couldn’t slow down, wouldn’t allow myself to slow down. Constantly looking for validation through performance.”
3 - Picture of a architectural metal: "I would never have admitted to having burnout because that felt like an excuse, or perhaps a luxury. Besides, I was still going above and beyond. If you have burnout then you can’t function, right?”
4 - B/W picture of sky from the courtyard of buildings: "Nope. Most people who are suffering from aspects of burnout are still functional. They are exhausted, lack boundaries, overcommit, feel unworthy, experience brain fog, and may resent loved ones.”
5 - B/W picture of a hammer breaking a phone: "That was me. I didn’t want to talk to my friends or family. I hated that they felt they had the right to text me. I wanted to run away from everything and just zone out. And at the same time I felt incredibly guilty because I should be grateful for my life.”
6 - Color pic evergreens in fog: "It wasn’t until a few years later, and more burnout that I realized what I had been ignoring, all the patterns and thoughts I maintained that landed me there. I started. I began to be okay with not being okay 24/7. I understood that taking care of myself was a priority for my happiness.”
7 - Picture with a bit of color of small flowers: "There are so many factors, many of which are out of your control, that set you up for burnout. We have more control over some than others. And that’s why I work with my clients more holistically. We look at your thoughts, beliefs, actions, mind/body connection, and your day-to-day patterns.”
8 - Color picture of waves curling towards the beach: "My clients: make better decisions, have improved communication personally and professionally, AND they have more energy to follow their passions. If this resonates with you, DM me “energy”.

Every unmade decision in our life can distract us, weigh us down, and contribute to burnout.

The best way to handle this is to either make decisions when they come up, or create a list of the things you need to decide on and set aside a time to focus on those.

At the end of every week, I make a list of any unmade decisions on my plate. I reflect on whether they’re unmade because I don’t know, or if I’m feeling challenged by them.

I also set up automatic lists and reminders throughout the week to keep me on track with all the daily activities I’m in charge of. This way I don’t have to think about rememberting them, I simply respond when the list or reminder pops up.

How many unmade decisions do you have on your plate right now?

Slowing down the thoughts in your brain is not an easy task, but it can be accomplished. What I’m offering is a mindfulness technique that I’ve been using over the past few weeks, and I recommend to my clients.

It’s interesting how difficult this can be, but it also illuminates how many thoughts we have continually bombarding us.

Have you tried anything like this?

Image 1: "Have you ever tried to do just one simple thing without thinking about 50 other things?”
Image 2: "For example, when you brush your teeth, can you relax your mind and focus on the feeling of the brush, or the movement of your arm?”
Image 3: "Can you listen to a song without thinking about your to-do list or a mistake you made at some point in your life?”
Image 4: "These are simple ways I’ve begun to calm my mind throughout the day, to minimize many of the negative thoughts.”

Two weeks from today, I’m honored to be speaking at “A Summit About Hosting Summits”.

Summits are a great way to build your business, increase your visibility, and collaborate with talented people. There’s an incredible line-up of speakers with expertise in all the areas involved.

Have you considered hosting a summit?

People start over again all the time. I've restarted a couple ideas so far this year. It's easy to get distracted with all the things you care about, all the plans you have. And because of that passion, you might stop working towards something for a while, but you can pick it back up again.
Yes, you can start again. You can start today. I believe in you!!
