Climbing with Coach Kiah

Today we have a special guest coming to us all the way from Texas! On this episode, Katie Beal Brown shares her journey and advice of building a brand that celebrates your roots.

Katie Beal Brown is a fourth-generation West Texan, born and raised in Midland, TX. Growing up, some of her fondest memories were from the time spent with her grandparents out on their family’s ranch in Far West Texas near Fort Davis. 

With years of experience at industry-leading agencies, she set out on a new venture to build her own brand, Lone River, celebrating her roots in West Texas. Lone River pioneered the tequila-style hard seltzer category with its introduction of Lone River Ranch Water and more recently Lone River Ranch Rita. Lone River now leads the tequila-style seltzer category as the #1 Ranch Water in the U.S. Katie continues to lead the business on a day-to-day basis, as CEO of the brand and works closely with Diageo leadership to build further on Lone River’s success.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• The story of her pivot from working in advertising in New York to moving back to Texas to launch an entire brand and journey 
• Measuring success by how far we’ve come and what we’ve already accomplished instead of what’s yet to come
• As an entrepreneur, having to get comfortable making decisions with an element of unknown
• The power of a brand and having a story behind it to tell 
• Finding ourselves right where we’re at and focusing on belonging instead of fitting in

This year, I planted my very first garden, or as I like to call it, my “yarden.” I’ve partnered with my local farmer-owned co-op Farm Supply Company for the process. What you need to know is that historically, I don’t have a great track record with plants. I either drown them with too much love and water or just forget they exist entirely until they shrivel up and die. I’m working on finding the happy in-between.

I took on this project to prove to myself once again that new habits can be formed, identities can shift, and maybe I do have a green thumb after all! Time will tell. But so far, things are going better than expected and I've learned a lot, not just about gardening, in the process, but also about myself. So in today's episode, I'm sharing 5 things my yarden is teaching me.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Getting curious about the identities that we hold true about ourselves and deciphering if they are actually true or if we’ve just believed them for so long 
• Creating space to grow into your full potential 
• What negativity bias is and how it impacts our thoughts 
• Boundaries show love and respect to ourselves and to others

Healing my relationship with money has been an ongoing journey. I grew up always feeling like there was too little of it in the world and a lot of scarcity around my ability to make money which REALLY came to the surface when I became an entrepreneur. To be fully transparent, I’m still working on that, but I feel like I’ve come a long way. So in today’s episode, I talk about how money is abundant, time is not.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Our plans to spend three weeks in Europe! 
• Finding a balance between using money as a tool to experience the world and also saving it mindfully to prepare for the future
• Savoring the season you’re in 
• Focusing on what will be important at the end of your life

I first met today’s guest, Leeana Tankersley, a couple months ago in small town Kansas. As total strangers, I had the privilege of being her roommate at the Cultivating Courage Conference. I told her it felt meant to be that we roomed together because we had some of the most beautiful conversations that truly filled my soul and I knew I had to bring her on the show to introduce her to you.

Leeana Tankersley is a mom of 3, a 6-time author, and a writing teacher. Her work has been featured on outlets such as The Huffington Post, CNN.com, and Publisher's Weekly. She is also the co-founder of the membership community, The Finding You Project, which helps women of any life stage who feel like they've lost themselves after a life detour. She lives in Central Virginia in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• The difference between self-sacrifice and self-abandonment 
• Are you being loyal to a narrative that is destroying you?
• Instead of focusing on what you DON’T want your life to look like, focus on what you DO want your life to look like 
• The power of making amends with the relationship with yourself

Most of us know better. We know the HOW or WHAT to make us feel our best physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and all the ways. Most of the time, the problem isn’t that we don’t KNOW, the problem is that we’re not DOING what we know to do. So on today’s episode, I dive into knowing better vs. doing better. 

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• A few things that get in the way of our DOING
• The role that shame plays in our inaction 
• The power of baby steps 
• My challenge for you, and myself, this week

Today’s guest is SO good that she’s a repeat guest on the show! You might recognize her from Episode 37, Get Inspired to Do the “DAMN” Thing. Bevin Farrand is a rockstar, my former business coach, and truly an inspiration.

In 2019, after unexpectedly losing her husband 5 days after they returned from a whirlwind trip to France, Bevin Farrand founded the Take the DAMN Chance movement. Her DAMN framework has inspired hundreds to connect with the people that they love, do the “crazy thing” that makes all the difference and, when given a choice, to take the damn trip. Additionally, she is a coach who supports women in achieving their goals, even after going through deeply challenging experiences.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• What the D.A.M.N. framework is
• How to take loss and make something amazing on the other side of it
• Honoring all the emotions we feel
• The power of micro actions
• Deciphering what is YOUR dream vs. what is someone else's dream imposed on you is
• Knowing your “why” but releasing the “how”

I recently got home from Emily Reuschel’s ASCEND retreat which brings rural women together who are ready to find community, growth, and step into the next chapter of their lives. During this retreat, there was a theme that kept coming up: The concept of how hard it is to close a good chapter. I resonated with this struggle so deeply, so today we’re going to talk through that idea and what’s on the other side of that good chapter.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• My Coach Kiah identity crisis 
• The discomfort of growth 
• Sometimes letting go of a good thing is exactly what is meant for our growth
