Now We're Getting Somewhere
I’m Katie + I’m a certified life coach, and I’ve also been a management consultant at McKinsey and a product manager at a tech start-up. In other words: I know what it’s like to have a life that looks pretty good on paper, but doesn’t feel as good as I want it to.
I help my professional clients develop lives that are more meaningful, happy, and successful — and I want to share the same practical insights with you.

53: One obstacle to clarity
I coach on clarity — or figuring out what you want — a lot. I’ve realized recently there’s one thing that gets in the way of clarity with almost every client, at one point or another. And that obstacle is: thinking too much about implementation before clarity is established. So in this episode, I make my case for why we want to get clear on clarity before we even think too much about implementation + share 4 ways that I see implementation thoughts getting in the way of clarity. (Some of them are subtle + you're probably doing them without realizing.) If you want clarity and you don’t yet have it, or you just want to build your skillfulness for when you’ll need clarity in the future, this episode is for you.

I share a client story, a definition of adaptability (that might not be what you've heard before), and how I've applied it to one of my own challenges — plus, what I think you might take away from it, too.

45: “How do I assess and make good decisions for my future after a divorce?” (Q&A)
I am answering another newsletter subscriber question today. Camilla asked: “I’ve just gotten divorced and not worked for some time while we relocated abroad and tried for a family. I have to get back to work but I’m scared and worry about how to communicate my career gap.” Camilla's question is about charting a new path after a divorce, but I think it's also a question about much broader themes: how to figure out our next steps at any season of our lives, and how to balance our future needs with our current needs. As I answer this question in this episode, I share 3 suggestions to keep in mind.
