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 ❤️

Hey Reader! Welcome to Soul Notes for July! I shared this post recently, and from the response it got, I knew it needed a deeper dive, so here goes: What if I told you that when you’re scared, anxious, angry, or discouraged, it's not actually you feeling those emotions - it’s your child Self? Would you move through those feelings differently if you knew that? I know I did. I used to be incredibly hard on myself - but this one AHA moment shifted everything. Try it for yourself:Next time...

Hey Reader, I love experiences that remind me that my work WORKS! Yesterday, I fired a contractor. (👆me joyfully waving buh bye) All the triggers were there: Flipping the story, by-passing accountability, denying his own words, gaslighting, projecting, interrupting, attacking - followed by the typical suck-up apology text and "helpful" bs attempt to re-engage me (so he didn't lose the job). Sound familiar? This was after 5 days of minimizing, not showing up, and even - (wait for it...)...
