Soul Note: Let’s take a beat. 🌞


Helloooo Summer – and hello Reader!

I woke up this morning and knew I had to share this with you...

Last night on a group call, I asked everyone to share something recent they’re proud of. And when I sat with that question for myself, something surprising bubbled up.

It wasn’t something I did.
It was who I’ve become.

I’ve become more brave.
More trusting of myself.
More discerning - more confident in my judgment, my decisions, my voice.

I’ve become less people-pleasing and more willing to honor me.
I’m more patient. Less panicked about what’s outside my control.
I’m gentler with myself.
More grounded.
More real.
More ME.

And I realized…I don’t think we celebrate this enough!
Not just what we accomplish - but what we heal into.

So I want to ask you:

What have you become?
Who are you today that your past self could barely imagine?

Take a moment and breathe that in.

Yes, there’s still work to do, but you’re already living some of the things you used to ache for.

Let that be enough - for today.
Let it land.
Let yourself rest in the progress that’s real, even if it’s invisible.

And if you’re still in the fog, still in the hard part - you’re not behind.

You're unfolding.
You're on time.
You’re doing the work.

When you need a hand holding space for the next layer of your becoming, I’ve got you.

🌀 The Reclamation Guide is a beautiful place to begin.

Or when your soul is nudging you toward deeper transformation, the 60-Day Emotional ReSet is open for you.

But for now?
Celebrate who you are right now.
That’s healing, too.

Have a wonderful, sunshiny month! 😎

So much love, Kate ❤️

Hi Reader, Welcome to February's Soul Notes! I’ve been sitting with something and it finally clicked this weekend - mid coffee, of all places. ☕️ I’ve been stuck. Not in a “my life is falling apart” way. But in that way where you know something’s off, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. I kept trying to figure it out and shape it into something that made sense, but the harder I tried, the flatter it felt. Here’s what finally landed: I wasn’t stuck because I couldn't figure it out. I...

Hi Reader! I love, LOVE the energy of a new year - a clean slate filled with so many possibilities... But before I rush into setting intentions or laying out plans, I always take some time to bless the year I’m leaving - for everything it taught me, revealed to me, and refined in me - so I can carry that growth forward with clarity and aligned energy. Because here are two truths we often forget: What we do anywhere is what we do everywhere.And what we do consistently is more unconscious than...

Hi Reader, Can you feel that? That steady hum beneath the holiday rush - the one that sounds like something new is coming? December always feels like a sacred pause to me - even in all the hustle and bustle of the season (which I also love!) - there's an unmistakable nudge to slow down, listen in, and remember Who I Am beneath all the doing. It’s the space between the wisdom of the year’s lessons - and the pull toward what's to come. If this year stretched you, softened you, or cracked...
