In this episode, we explore the key differences between being a guiding lighthouse and a reactive lifeboat. Why do so many of us fall into the trap of trying to fix everyone around us? What are the consequences for both the fixer and those being fixed? And most importantly, how can we shift our mindset to embody the role of a steady and inspiring presence in our own lives and the lives of others? 

Discover practical guidance on leading through example, setting healthy boundaries, and moving beyond the urge to control. We also explore how childhood trauma can influence this behavior and how healing can empower us to show up in a more authentic and impactful way.

Hello, Ambitchious Fam!

We just dropped a mind-blowing episode on the Ambitchious Podcast that’s about to transform everything you thought you knew about weight loss, wellness, and personal growth. If you’ve ever felt stuck in an endless cycle of diets, workouts, and self-criticism, you do not want to miss this one.

I sat down with the incredible Christine Renee for a deep dive into a wellness approach you’ve probably never heard before: the Divine Essence Bioprint. Forget cookie-cutter diet advice—a personalized, energetic, and astrological blueprint could be your missing puzzle piece!

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✨ How your sun, moon, rising, and Chiron signs influence your struggles—and triumphs—with weight, movement, and eating.

✨ Why some signs need structure, and others will never stick to a rigid meal plan (so much permission to do things YOUR way!).

✨ The powerful connection between emotional trauma, protection mechanisms, and the inability to release weight, plus stories that will hit you in the feels.

✨ Actionable and sign-specific strategies to help you start making progress—without driving yourself insane.

 Christine and I got real about:

Personal experiences with diet culture, societal pressure, and the emotional root of weight struggles.

How to break the cycle of doing the same thing and expecting different results (aka diet insanity).

Simple, practical steps tailored to your unique astrological blueprint.

Stop Blaming Yourself: If you haven’t had success with one-size-fits-all plans, it’s not your fault. Your Divine Bioprint reveals the REAL reason.

Get Your Chart Read: Christine explains how she analyzes your astrology chart (sun, moon, rising, Chiron) and pairs it with intuitive insights to uncover subconscious blocks.

Try the Healing: In her sessions, Christine guides you through emotional clearings and energy work, enabling you to move forward—this isn’t just talk, it’s transformation.

Hey Ambitchious Fam!

We just dropped a powerful new episode featuring the amazing Jolie—guidance counselor, first-gen college grad, and now founder of College Success University! If you’re a parent, student, or just love a good story of self-evolution, this episode is a MUST listen.

Here’s a quick recap so you can catch the magic:

Jolie's Journey: From “Not Enough” to Ambitchious Queen Jolie opened up about her struggles with a “not enough” mindset—growing up as a first-generation American, the pressure to succeed, overcoming people-pleasing, and healing her inner child. Through the Ambitchious App and Business Mentorship with me, she’s truly become the “bolt cutter” for her family’s ancestral patterns and is now showing her own kids AND her students that so. much. more. is possible.

Why College Success University Is Everything Jolie spent 18 years guiding kids through the college application maze. Now, she’s delivering her wisdom to families everywhere with College Success University. Her mission? To take the mystery, agony, and overwhelm out of applications, essays, and scholarships for both students and parents. Imagine transforming that dread into confidence and even—wait for it—excitement!

Hot Tips from the Episode:

Start Early: College isn’t just a senior year convo! Jolie recommends beginning college talk in middle school and exploring interests during early high school.

Explore the Highland Ability Battery: This career aptitude tool helps uncover your (or your kid’s) natural strengths and gives clarity on what careers/college majors might be a great fit. Don’t miss this discussion in the episode!

The Power of Intentional Essays: Stand out from the crowd by letting your true self shine in college essays—and Jolie’s tips will help you get there.

Don’t Go It Alone: You don’t have to navigate the application process in the dark. Jolie offers 1:1 support, group packages, AND an online self-paced guide to keep families on track.

Ready for a Smoother College Journey? Jolie is offering complimentary discovery calls to help you map out the next steps for you or your student. Whether you want resources, a personalized roadmap, or just to hear that you’re not alone, College Success University is here for you!

👉 Book your discovery call with Jolie: www.collegesuccessuniversity.com

Let’s rewrite the narrative, Ambitchious style. Send this episode to a friend or family facing the college application beast, and let’s help more women and families smash through those old limitations—together.

Hey Ambitchious Tribe!

In this week’s episode of the Ambitchious Podcast, I delve headfirst into a topic that many Ambitchious women struggle with: overdeveloped masculine energy—what it looks like, why it occurs, and how we can begin to heal.

Sound familiar?

Overly assertive, even when it comes off as aggressive

Perfectionist and control freak tendencies

Difficulty expressing vulnerability or emotion

Independence to a fault (“I don’t need anyone!”)

Workaholism and tying self-worth to productivity

Trouble with emotional intimacy, even in close relationships…

If you were nodding along, you’re not alone—and trust me, I get it and have been there too! Most of us develop these traits as responses to trauma and old programming, whether from childhood, family history, or the expectations of “hustle culture.” You don’t have to live in that mode forever.

What’s inside this transformative episode?

How to recognize the red flags of toxic masculine energy

My personal journey of stepping back from constant hustle

Why ancestral lineage and societal pressures play such a big part

Practical, heartfelt ways to heal: inner child work, rituals, creative outlets, nature, and…reclaiming the power of vulnerability

Tips on how to invite your partner into your healing process (yes, you can ask for what you desire)

Key Takeaways to Start Healing Today:

Self-awareness is step one. Get real about these patterns.

Practice self-compassion. These traits were protective, but you’re allowed to outgrow them.

Lean into your femininity. Creativity, connection, care, and stillness are your medicine.

Create clear boundaries and surround yourself with supportive, growth-minded women.

Communicate with your partner. Let them know how to genuinely support you as you rebalance.

My Challenge for You:

Ready for even deeper support?

Remember: You are worthy, just as you are—no matter how much you achieve. 💗

Hey Ambitches!

 This week’s Ambitchious Podcast episode is a truth bomb like no other. If you’ve ever felt drained after hanging out with “friends,” or you find yourself downplaying your achievements, this one’s for you.

Tired, Drained, Uninspired? It Could Be Your Circle.

Lately, even I (yes, Katie!) have noticed some not-so-supportive vibes from people I thought would always be in my corner. That’s what inspired this episode. I’m breaking down the 20 telltale signs that the people you spend most of your time with might actually be TOXIC—and what you can do about it.

Here are 5 signs to check yourself on right now (listen to the episode for all 20):

You feel drained (not energized) after every interaction.

You downplay your joy and big wins around them.

They only call when they need something.

You walk on eggshells with your words.

They guilt-trip you for growing and changing.

Bonus: If you ever feel lonelier WITH someone than WITHOUT them, it’s time to reevaluate the connection. You deserve people who light you up, not dim your shine!

Ready to Step Up Your Inner Circle?

Deep dive with me on this episode! Listen in as I unpack all 20 toxic signs AND give you tools to protect your energy (without running off to be a feral animal in the woods—I promise!).

Take action: If you need an empowering community, reply to this email or hit the show notes to book a FREE discovery call with me. Let's make your circle supportive, positive, and Ambitchious AF.

Stay Ambitchious (and ruthless with your boundaries),

Hey Ambitchious Fam!

Ready for some real talk? On this week’s episode of the Ambitchious Podcast, I get honest about something I’m sure we can ALL relate to lately: PEOPLE. ARE. SO. ANNOYING. Yup, I went there and I hope you are so here for it. If you’ve ever found yourself silently screaming at someone’s lack of boundaries or eye-rolling at the “attention seekers” of the world, you’re not alone!

Here’s a taste of what went down in this hilariously relatable and totally empowering episode:

My List of People Who Annoy the F Outta Me (And Maybe You Too!)

Those who can’t read social cues or respect boundaries (no, it’s not about the neurodiverse community—I am talking about the “everyday oblivious”).

People with zero impulse control—seriously, does every thought need to come out of your mouth?

Insecure folks who won’t stop complaining about themselves (we all have cellulite, ho. Move on!).

Attention seekers, narcissists, the flaky ones, the loud talkers, the personal space invaders…

Chronic complainers who have zero interest in change (even after all the advice!).

But why is this bugging you so much? I break it down: If you’re feeling extra annoyed, it might be a sign you’re about to LEVEL UP. Sometimes that old energy creeps in just before big personal growth, and it’s your job as an Ambitchious human to recognize it and keep rising.

How to Deal (HBIC-Style):

Stay self-aware and take radical responsibility—are you letting other people’s low-vibe energy dim your high-vibe light?

Remember: Not everyone is operating on your level of consciousness. Most people truly have no idea how they’re coming across.

Set boundaries and actually communicate them. (“A queen does not leave her throne to address peasants throwing stones.” 👑)

Don’t waste your precious energy trying to “fix” every annoyance; let the little stuff go.

Practice empathy, laugh at the nonsense (Ava laugh, anyone?), and keep your sense of humor.

The Bottom Line: Life is too short to let the annoying people win. Protect your energy, let the fools be foolish, and keep shining your bright Ambitchious light. If you need a little help leveling up, I'm just a call away—discovery calls are complimentary!
