When there is something in your heart that’s big and bold, that scares the crap out of you, that you believe is your purpose on Earth--whether it’s being the best mom you could ever be or the CEO of a Fortune 10 company and everything in between. If that dream is in your gut, there is a reason. Don’t give up.

Do you believe that’s true? Can feeling confident change our lives? Can it accelerate our career trajectories, strengthen our relationships, improve our health, and help us surpass our own goals? Let me tell you what I’ve learned as an executive coach. It can.

I hope my story inspires you to look at the ways you’re building confidence in your life outside of work that will fuel the badass woman you are in your career. For me, it took finding a place I could feel comfortable experimenting, learning, trying, failing, and growing. And at the end of the episode, we talk about what that could look like for you, too.

In this episode, I walk you through what an executive coach is, what it isn’t, and how you know if a coach might be beneficial for you.

That’s exactly what I did with this week’s totally unscripted podcast episode. It’s a Caytie-tell-all where I share why I do what I do, why I choose to work with women instead of men, and even some juicy details about my quirks, guilty pleasures, and my love of sushi and Shane Langford.

In this episode, I’m talking about the importance rest. My hope for this message is that comes to you at a time when all you’re hearing is hustle, but what you really need is to allow yourself to slow down for a minute and reconnect to why you’re working so hard in the first place. I want you to know that this episode is coming straight from the heart; I’ll share my story of getting caught up in my own state of overtired, overbooked and overwhelmed.

In this episode, we are going to talk about why it is so important that we as women own our accomplishments. And if this is something that’s hard for you, I talk about the mental shift that is helping me learn how to do it, too.

If you’ve ever thought about working with a recruiter, this is the episode for you. We break down the pros, cons, and insider tips of working with recruiters in 5 TRUTH BOMBS you need to know to see if a recruiter is going to be right for you.

Four years ago, I completely walked away from my career. I had zero clue what I was going to do...ZERO. Fast forward to six months later, I decided to launch my own executive coaching business.

Listen, my husband is an entrepreneur. And I have been right there for his 17 year entrepreneurial journey. I thought I had this thing in the bag. HA!!!

Today, I am peeling back another layer of the onion, and sharing with you the six things I wish I knew before starting my business. Now, if you are saying, “Caytie there is no way I am ever going to start my own company, so I’m going to forego listening to this one”, let me just stop you there. You have big, bold things to do in your life. I know you do because that’s why you are here. This is a podcast for you!! These truths are universal to accomplishing anything big that lies ahead of you.

So jump on in, and give it a listen. And once you’re done, leave us a comment on the podcast app of your choice! I absolutely love hearing from you!

“Embrace the glorious mess that you are.” Elizabeth Gilbert

Let me start with this: do not question the genius of a woman who went to Italy for the sole purpose of eating. (Can we all just admit that “Eat” was the best section of Eat, Pray, Love?)

In today’s episode, I want us all to embrace our glorious, carb-loving, messiness by remembering a simple task: to love ourselves.

Easier said than done, right?

As a certified member of the I Can Be My Own Worst Critic Club, I know from experience how to be hard on myself. But as I’ve mentored and coached hundreds of women, and as I’ve worked to grow in myself and my business, I’ve learned this simple lesson: confidence and happiness start with loving ourselves.

In today’s episode, I issue a challenge: to be able to list 100 things you love about yourself in less than three weeks. If you’re blinking at your computer screen and thinking, “That’s impossible,” then this episode was made for you.

And, if you’re reading this and saying, “Oh, it’s on! My awesome self will take your 100 and raise you 150,” this episode is for you, too.

Give episode #20 a listen while we explore why and how to love yourself!
