WANTcast: The Women Against Negative Talk Podcast

This back-from-unexpected-hiatus (...I'll explain in the first 5 minutes) episode is JAM-PACKED with goodness right from the very start. From mental health and getting a diagnosis as an adult to "intuitive business" and the realities of making money to the way we live our lives online and how to be many things at once. I'm so thrilled to be able to introduce you to MICHELLE PELLIZZON, founder (and Head Witch In Charge) of Holisticism. Holisticism is a platform, and media company that helps make well-being practices more accessible to the masses by helping wellness practitioners run profitable, community-oriented businesses. Michelle also hosts The Twelfth House Podcast, one of my favorite podcasts, shedding light on the unseen aspects of wellness, intuitive business, and spirituality.   SHOW NOTES: Holisticism The Twelfth House podcast Michelle on IG Holisticism on IG Atomic Habits Essentialism Katie on The Twelfth House Follow Katie on Instagram Leave a review on iTunes (and subscribe to the WANTcast if you haven't already!)

Building confidence or "being more confident" is high on a lot of people's to-do list...so why is it so hard to actually DO the damn thing? In this episode, we break down what confidence is and isn't, why "fake it 'till you make it" might or might not work for you, and tangible ways to keep yourself accountable on your journey toward "more" confidence...whatever that looks like for YOU.   SHOW NOTES: Holley M.

One of the worst pieces advice I ever received actually led me to some of the best revelations about what I do and who I am. In this episode, we talk about how you define yourself to others — and yourself — and why it's an essential part of building self-confidence, self-trust, and proactive patterns. Plus, how to rethink and rework your self-definition on your own.   SHOW NOTES: Follow Katie on Instagram Leave a review on iTunes (and subscribe to the WANTcast if you haven't already!)

The other day, I asked you what self-talk you’d help shifting. And the word ENOUGH appeared at least 15xs: not SMART enough, not COOL enough, not STRONG enough, not SUCCESSFUL enough... ...apparently, a whole lot of us are walking around telling ourselves “I’m not enough” in some way, shape or form. Here’s a guide to start to break down (and build up!) your “enoughness.”    SHOW NOTES: Follow Katie on Instagram Leave a review on iTunes (and subscribe to the WANTcast if you haven't already!)

Brené Brown talks about "the people in the stands." Glennon Doyle talks about not "hiding your fire." How much not-caring is enough, and how much is TOO much? In this episode, we talk about how to hold both Brené and Glennon's words as truth at the same time if you've got fear of judgement, self-doubt, and a desire to not let other people's opinions get under your skin... ...and also don't want to be a jerk to the people you love.

This is an extra special episode, because it’s a conversation with one of the most extra-special people in my life: mobility expert, personal trainer, yoga teacher, dancer, and one of my dearest friends in the universe, Nicole Sciacca. Nicole is a WEALTH of information on any and all things having to do with how your body moves - and prides herself on nurturing her client’s sense of self while optimizing their performance, potential, and personal recovery. She’s also a rockstar mother, a former fitness studio owner, a meditation teacher (and devotee), a trainer to A-list celebrities, an eternal optimist, and basically the most loyal friend you’ll ever have. In this episode we talk about Nicole’s philosophy on doing and being many things in your lifetime (and what that can actually look like), the phrase that helped her navigate the darkest moments of her personal and professional life, how an unexpected instance involving one of her most famous clients led her to instant Instagram celebrity status literally overnight (and how she navigated that), how to rethink movement as your body ages, and WAY more. Join us this Sunday June 27th at 3:00pm Eastern Time for Nothing But a Number - A Movement + Self Talk workshop to reimagine your relationship with age. In this free 90 minute workshop, you'll dissect your relationship with age and "aging" no matter how old you are. Half intentional movement focused on longevity and joint health, half mindful discussion, walk away with practical tools to help you age powerfully in body and spirit.

If you're feeling particularly...um...tested lately (by people, by work, by life being life), welcome to the club. Because you, along with pretty much everyone else, are in the middle of a transition. And moving forward might feel so hard — or annoying — that you feel like maybe it's not worth the energy to even try. In this solo episode, we're diving into how to move forward when it's really tempting not to (and why those temptations feel so freaking tempting. I hear you!)...and how to use what's commonly seen as a "negative" feeling to your full advantage.   SHOW NOTES: Prefer to read instead of listen? Here's a written version of this episode.

You're not the same as you were one year ago. And you shouldn’t be.  But maybe you're struggling right now as things start to look eerily similar to how they "Once Were," and feeling the pressure of needing to replicate the UN-USEFUL parts of pre-2020 times in order to be successful, loved, or just get through the day (even though you've seen that the Once Were ways weren't working). In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts around what I call "reopening anxiety," and some things you can do this week to calm that part of your mind that feels like all the important lessons you learned over the last year are at the risk of being forgotten.   SHOW NOTES: Join me for the WANT Your Self RETREAT in Paros, Greece: Oct 4-9!Follow me on InstagramLeave a review on iTunes!

WANTcast listener favorite Jessica Murnane is back this week — and this time, we're talking all about figuring out what "normal" and "best" mean for you...when what you're feeling is anything BUT those things. (We're also laughing a lot, because Jessica brings SO much joy to the WANTcast.) Her new book, Know Your Endo: An Empowering Guide To Health and Hope with Endometriosis, isn't only for people with endo – but for people who think they could possibly have endo, for people who love people who have/could have endo, or people who are questioning if the “normal” they experience is the same “normal” they hear everyone else talking about. It is a revelation, a revolution, and a treasure trove of both stories and strategies to help you build your confidence AND your toolkit. SHOW NOTES: Website Know Your Endo Buy a signed copy!

After almost six years and 124 episodes, I realized I'd never done what many people do right at the start of their podcasts...shared my story. But as I'm evolving, WANT is evolving, and the world is evolving, maybe now is actually the perfect time for a (re)introduction. If anything, so that maybe you can recognize a little of yourself in these words, and know you're not alone.
