Katherine's Friday Round Up • July 10, 2020

Things I'm currently obsessed with.... Katherine Style.

Shop Item of the Week: Katherine's Meditation Album. I love this album and it's not just because I created it! I love that the meditations are short and sweet and I also love that the custom music my friend Addison Smith created for them is so amazing.

Sleep Tea: Sijo Premium Sleep Tea, which is simply amazing chamomile tea.

Plus I had to get this to steep my tea because I lost my old Teavana one... this one works great!:

Reading About Race: So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo. I am reading this one with my Dad. The life altering change doesn't only come from reading and doing the work, but taking actions too.

On my nightstand: The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Seriously, I can't put these books down. Witches, Vampires and love, oh my. I might be on my second (or third) round of reading them. On my Kindle. In the dark while everyone else is sleeping.

Shows: Dollface and Four Weddings and a Funeral on Hulu. I watch these in bed, with my pink fluffy blanket and a small snack of pecans and raspberries.

Stay tuned for next week's Katherine's Friday Round Up where I share my weekly obsessions.

Love,

Katherine

You Don't Have to Stay Stuck, Bored or Thwarted.

Have you ever taken a second to reflect on your life and thought… “This is it?” “This is my life?”…

“This is my relationship?” “This is my work?” “This is my body?” “This is how I feel?” “This is IT?”

.

If you just read that last part and thought “YES! This is IT! I am so happy in every way! I am living my dream life!!” I LOVE IT! Go YOU!

BUT…. If you read those sentences and had a felt that something in your life is inherently missing… I have a secret for you… Rapid, life changing shifts can happen.

You can quickly change that ONE nagging thing (whether big or small) that holds you back from getting your dream life, whether that’s in business or in your personal life.

Once I decided, I have made quantum leaps in my own life. I have gone from feeling stuck, bored, denied and thwarted to feeling grounded, passionated, soul led and connected. In the video above I talk about some of the big changes I have created in my life- and what I yearned for during those times.

If you are ready for clarity, motivation & alignment in your life, there is no better time than right now. We are in the middle of a cosmic and life transformation and NOW is the perfect time to dive deeply and fully into shifting what is holding you back from living your dream life.

If you feel stuck, denied, bored or thwarted by something big in your life- your relationships, your work, your boundaries or your behaviors… now is the time to create a change that is life altering.

You don’t have to stay stuck. You don’t have to be denied. You don’t have to wait.

And, if you are seeking abundance in your business, work & money, I highly recommend making sure you are feeling abundant in other areas of your life. ⠀

⠀

Abundant in your health.⠀

⠀

Abundant in your relationships. ⠀

⠀

Abundant in your life.⠀

⠀

Abundance attracts abundance, you see.⠀

⠀

You don't have to go far to find your abundance... it's right there inside of you.⠀

⠀

It may take a bit of uncovering. ⠀

⠀

It may take mindset shifts. ⠀

⠀

It may take breaking away from patterns that aren’t serving you. ⠀

⠀

It may take doing things differently than before. ⠀

⠀

It may take a whole lot of healing. ⠀

⠀

But... it's in there. Waiting for you.⠀

The Magic You Seek is Found In Your Daily Rituals

Often, the people I work with and know are crazy busy with schedules, families, work and expectations. They are powerful, intelligent people who do amazing things in this world.⠀

⠀

There isn't much room in their lives for time or energy for themselves- let alone any kind of rituals or magic.⠀

⠀

Their days are filled with taking care of others, working hard, and keeping their lives running smoothly. They command tight ships at home and work. At the end of the day, my friends and clients often fall into the trap of believing that a glass (or three) of wine in the evening is the best self care they can get their hands on. This mindset makes sense... wine is fast, easy, takes no energy to pour and doesn't talk back. ⠀

⠀

It's no wonder they feel depleted and done. After everything else, they have nothing left to give themselves. I know this scenario well. I've lived and breathed it.⠀

Over the past decade, I have found myself exhausted, waking up with no real pleasure and facing long days. I wasn't unhappy, but I wasn't necessarily happy either. I sung the praises of deep self care- but had no idea why I wasn't feeling fully connected to my self.

I found that I got lost in the day. While I had a loose morning practice of some kind for a long time, I found that by 4pm each day I was craving sugar and wine. In the evenings, I forced myself to watch television shows about teen drama so that I could escape from the world and not be obsessive about my work. I wasn't giving myself the rituals my soul really needed. I lacked energy and time.

I also desired to change it. I wanted to feel my magic. I wanted to connect in deeply with the energy I knew wasn't lost forever. I was ready to be even more powerful, more grounded and honestly a better mommy and business owner. I knew deep down that feeling exhausted all of the time wasn't really serving myself or the people around me.⠀

The more I talked with women like myself... women who were powerful, strong and occasionally mothers, I realized that I wasn't alone. We were all struggling to get through our days connected to our souls. We were all married to the concept that there wasn't much left for ourselves.

I found that what I needed and what the powerful women I worked with needed, was a connection to our own magic during our days. We required frequent opportunities to come back to our souls. We were desperate to ignite fun and pleasure without craving the fast and easy coping skills like pints of ice cream and glasses of wine. It was essential to spark our passion and magic without feeling drained and exhausted. We needed rituals throughout our day, not just in the morning. We desired rituals that reminded us of who we were and the magic that ignited our souls.

With that realization, I created a daily practice that anchored myself to my own magic throughout the day. And IT WORKED. I felt better, more connected to myself and more connected to my soul. And soon after I started this practice I craved the fast and easy coping skills less. Because I was treating myself to real pleasure and not the numbing kind, I didn't need the sugar, wine and Netflix binges. I became a more grounded mom and a more connected leader.

⠀

And with that, I created a daily ritual practice for myself- that spans throughout the day. These are quick and easy practices I can do three times a day that anchor me into my soul and into my magic. And guess what? The rituals changed my life.⠀

⠀

I've created a free 22 page guide to support you in tapping into your magic. Whether you are a mamma, a CEO, a millionaire business owner, a person with 5 different side hustles... I got you. I go over what the heck magic even really is, along with why daily rituals are important AND the biggest things that can get in your way (hiya kids, partners, pets and work, not to mention our phones and lack of sleep too...).

I know, if you commit to this practice three times a day, you will come back to your soul in a really powerful way.

With love,

Katherine
