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.

37: When you’re not seeing results
Sometimes we go through periods where we do not see outside progress or results, despite taking the action. And that can be....frustrating (to put it mildly). Today, I wanted to share two ideas - one extended metaphor, and one short thought - that I've been reminding myself lately, in my own season of taking action without seeing a ton of results (yet). They've given me a lot of patience - and helped me feel downright optimistic about things. I hope they will help you as much as they've helped me.

36: Self-development realism
This episode is about self-development realism. To me, self-development realism is acknowledging the *reality* of your limitations when it comes to implementing ideas from podcasts, on instagram, or books. You can consume as much self-development content as you’d like, but I don’t want you to get frustrated or overwhelmed by it. I strongly believe that the most meaningful change typically happens iteratively, over time. So I hope this episode gives you some encouragement and, frankly, context as you listen to the rest of my podcast, or consume anything from anyone.
