"Talking about our problems⠀⠀ is our greatest addiction.⠀⠀ Break the habit.⠀⠀ Talk about your joys."⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ // Rita Schiano⠀ ⠀ Drop 'em down below, friends! 👇🏼 I'll go first.
I've had this piece by @morganharpernichols saved as the background on my phone for months now.⠀ ⠀ Why? Because the (sometimes painful) truth is that trust has always been tricky for me, especially when it comes to trusting myself.⠀ ⠀ Maybe you're like me.⠀ ⠀ Maybe you've started a half dozen projects in the past, only to lose steam and abandon those big dreams and goals along the way. Now, when you think about getting that big, meaningful work into the world, your inner critic turns up the volume, leaving you wondering if it will work... this time or ever.⠀ ⠀ Maybe it’s perfectionism that holds you back. You know deep down what you want to create, make, share, sell, but when it comes to taking that first brave, uncertain step, you hesitate, afraid to move forward until you know every answer, are certain of every step, and have all of the information you need to do things the “right” way.⠀ ⠀ Or maybe, now that you’ve declared your big, meaningful work (even just to yourself), you’ve come face-to-face with fear. And when that fear creeps in, you freeze, procrastinating powerful action and keeping that work tucked away in your heart.⠀ ⠀ I get it, friend. Truly, I do.⠀ ⠀ That’s why I created Your Big, Meaningful Workbook - and then combined it with a wholehearted community and soul-driven support to see that work through.⠀ ⠀ All in a way that feels and sounds like you, that’s equal parts clarity, self-care, and brave, focused action, and that provides just the right amount of structure, support, and accountability to get that big, meaningful work out into the world where it belongs. (And feels good, did I mention that?)⠀ ⠀ All so that you can trust yourself again.⠀ ⠀ Doors are open now, brave one.

Oh, friends. This week, you are in for a good one.⠀ ⠀ I’m beyond thrilled to be welcoming my friend @tarabosler to the podcast. Tara is a creative copy coach and business strategist for women entrepreneurs, and this conversation was truly one for the books. Raw, real, funny, and vulnerable, Tara shares her story, wisdom, and wit with us.⠀ ⠀ We talk all about…⠀ ⠀ ⇢ How getting laid off led Tara to the work she does now - and the biggest challenges that she’s faced in balancing entrepreneurship with being a single mom⠀ ⇢ Why personal development has been so valuable in her life and business⠀ ⇢ The process of finding her own brand voice - and how finding it has allowed her to show up as her fullest, strongest, bravest self⠀ ⇢ Why so much of what we fear and concern ourselves with isn’t real⠀ ⇢ How to start shifting your brand voice to be more aligned with your authentic personality - and why you don’t need a rebrand to do it⠀ ⇢ Why it’s so important to share your own business and brand evolution⠀ ⇢ The beautiful benefits and experiences she’s had since shifting her brand voice and presence to be the truest version of herself⠀ ⠀ It was such a gift to have this conversation, and then to revisit it in sharing it with you.⠀ ⠀ Head to katekmccarthy.com/podcast or listen in on your favorite podcast app!
"You can always tell an old soul, Katie, by how friendly they are to trees.⠀ ⠀ Very, very - ⠀⠀ The Universe"⠀ ⠀ Fall in Seattle has been giving me all the 🍂🍁🍃😍 feels. Soaking in every last leaf this weekend.
Brave one: that thing you've been meaning to do?⠀ ⠀ It's time to do it.⠀ ⠀ To stop wishing, waiting, wanting.⠀ ⠀ To start doing, being, creating.⠀ ⠀ To write the book or produce the podcast or create the course. To change up your dream client or shake up your services or clarify your message. To go on the retreat or lead the mastermind or start the conversation. To volunteer within your community or donate to the cause or leverage your oh-so-powerful voice for the greater good. To try a new platform or ditch the one that just doesn't fit. To get courageously visible and really show up - for your business, your people, and yourself.⠀ ⠀ To say the thing you've been wanting to say but just couldn't find the words or the way to do it.⠀ ⠀ It's TIME.⠀ ⠀ If you've been following along in my stories, you know that I’m over-the-moon excited about Your Big, Meaningful Workbook, my self-study guide for getting your (desperately needed!) work out into the world - where it belongs. I’ve been working for weeks BTS to make sure that it’s everything that I dreamed of, that you need, and more!⠀ ⠀ While the doors to YBMW officially open next Wednesday (eek!), I wanted to give you a sneak peek at my signature process for getting your next project or offering into the world - in a way that feels aligned and alive, that avoids the typical pitfalls of procrastination and perfectionism, and that - best of all - gets your work into the hands of the people who need it most. YOUR people.⠀ ⠀ Click the link in my profile or head straight to katekmccarthy.com/workbook to catch all the deets and get on the waitlist to be the first in line when doors open next week!⠀ ⠀ DM me with questions, brave one. It's TIME.
Where do you do your best work?⠀ ⠀ Today was weird, y’all.⠀ ⠀ What started out (at 5am, no less!) as a day that I thought I’d be knocking out my to-do list at my dad’s house quickly transformed into a day spent working from my laptop without wifi in the passenger seat of a silver sedan with my pup curled up on a blanket beside me.⠀ ⠀ Turns out I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get in the work-zone at my dad’s place.⠀ ⠀ Turns out I’m REALLY good at getting shit done from the passenger seat.⠀ ⠀ Who woulda thunk?⠀ ⠀ So often, we beat ourselves up for being unproductive, unfocused, and unmotivated, when what’s really happening is that we haven’t created the conditions for creativity and our version of success to thrive.⠀ ⠀ It might be that you get your best work done at your ergonomically-supportive desk or that your sweet spot is in the hammock on your front porch. It could be that you’ve been trying diligently to create in the library (free wifi, anyone?), but that your creative spark would be set ablaze at a table in the middle of the mall, people and noises and life on every side. It might be that you write emails at a coffee shop, conduct coaching calls at your dining room table, and do your best creative work from your couch. Or that your best work happens pen to paper in a corner of your favorite park.⠀ ⠀ We are all unique, friend.⠀ ⠀ But when we force it and cast judgment on ourselves, we close ourselves off from seeing that it just might take a subtle shift in environment to create the conditions for our work to take off.⠀ ⠀ Where do you do your best work? 👇🏼⠀ ⠀ ————————————⠀ ⠀ P.S. Creating the conditions for creativity and your version of success to flow is just one thing we’re talking about in Your Big, Meaningful Workbook (a step-by-step process with a side of wholehearted community and support), opening up next Wednesday, 11/14. Stay tuned for details!
