Building a Life You Love™: Purpose, Mindset & Life Design for Women

Have you been putting off something you know you want to pursue?

In this episode of Building a Life You Love, Kristin Fitch sits down with elite success coach and host of the top ranked Dream Think Do podcast, Mitch Matthews, to talk about what actually helps people move from stuck to action.

They break down why so many people wait for the perfect time, how fear quietly holds people back, and what it looks like to give yourself permission to go after what you really want.

You’ll learn how to stop overthinking, start taking small consistent steps, and build real momentum even if you don’t feel ready to go after your dreams and goals. And create a life that matters.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, this episode will help you get clear and start moving forward.

Topics include overcoming fear, taking action, goal setting, building momentum, mindset shifts, and pursuing meaningful work and life goals.

• You don’t need a perfect plan to start. You need a next step
• Small daily actions create momentum over time
• Waiting for clarity often keeps you stuck
• Fear doesn’t mean stop. It means move forward differently
• Giving yourself permission is often the first breakthrough
• Progress comes from action, not overthinking
• Community and support help you stay consistent
• Now is the time to write down your ambitions, dreams and goals and get started

In this conversation with Rabbi Daniel Cohen, we break down what it really looks like to reverse engineer your life so your daily choices actually lead to the life and legacy you want.

This is not about chasing success. It is about living with intention, showing up fully, and making an impact in the moments that most people overlook.

We talk about how small, consistent decisions shape your future, why presence matters more than productivity, and how to align your life with what God is calling you to do.

If you have been feeling disconnected, unsure of your purpose, or like you are just going through the motions, this episode will help you reset and refocus on what actually matters.

Takeaways

• Most people do not lack purpose. They lack alignment between their values and daily choices
• Your legacy is built in ordinary moments, not big milestones
• Being fully present with people is one of the most powerful ways to impact others
• Small acts of kindness create lasting ripple effects
• Growth requires stepping outside comfort and choosing courage
• Living on purpose means asking better questions about how you spend your time
• Fulfillment comes from service, not just personal achievement

• Awareness is the first step to change: You can’t fix what you don’t see. Identifying hidden fears and blocks is essential to moving forward.
• Limiting beliefs create invisible ceilings: These often form in childhood or after major life transitions and quietly shape your decisions.
• Fear of judgment and failure hold women back: Many women wait for permission or perfection instead of starting imperfectly.
• You’re allowed to want more: Prioritizing your own desires and well-being doesn’t mean you’re selfish—it means you’re finally showing up for yourself.
• Guilt and decision fatigue are silent dream killers: Learn to release past regret and simplify your choices so you can act with confidence and intention.

Are you craving more happiness in your everyday life—but not sure how to get there?

In this energizing episode, I sit down with Katie Jefcoat, happiness curator, speaker, and host of the Everyday Happiness podcast, to uncover the science and soul of happiness. We explore 7 small but powerful shifts that can dramatically increase your daily joy and emotional well-being. This episode originally aired in 2024 but it's so good I wanted to replay it for you.

Together, we unpack why happiness can feel elusive (even when life is good), and how simple mindset and margin changes can bring more peace, purpose, and contentment into your days. Whether you feel stuck in the busy or want to start living more intentionally, this episode is your fresh start.

• Happiness is built, not found. It's the result of small, intentional habits—not a destination we arrive at.
• Create margin. Protecting your time and energy is essential to sustaining joy.
• Love is happiness. Focusing on connection, gratitude, and acts of kindness has a compounding effect on well-being.
• Shift your focus. Rewiring your thoughts to notice joy and practice positivity can lead to long-term emotional change.
• You don’t need a life overhaul. Tiny changes—like how you start your day or what you prioritize—can have a big impact.
