  • I Didn’t Expect This To Happen When I Got Quiet

    Earlier this year I was so angry I ripped honeysuckle plants out of the ground by the root. A few weeks ago I found myself craving something I’d never wanted in my life — arms pumping, sweat running, legs pushing through fear and uncertainty.

    I never wanted to run. I complained about it at practice. I rolled my eyes at people who said they enjoyed it. I made every excuse — wrong body type, too hard on the knees.

    And then I got quiet enough to actually hear what my body was telling me.

    In this episode SuperKate shares what happens when you prioritize space and quiet in your life — and how that space can open a door to something you never would have considered before. Or actively railed against.

    Plus a somatic check-in at the end that takes less than two minutes.

  • Money Relationships, Paying Yourself, and Freedom with Melissa Mittelstaedt

    SuperKate interviews financial consultant Melissa Mittelstaedt, who helps conscious entrepreneurs get organized with money so they can confidently manage finances without long-term dependency. Melissa explains her “four prongs” approach—business and personal finances (kept in separate accounts but deeply intertwined), tactical routines, and the spiritual/emotional relationship with money—using tools like EFT tapping, journaling, breathing, and visualizations while maintaining client safety and boundaries. She shares her own journey from poor money management and debt to a healthier, less controlling relationship with money, and how her partner has grown through their conversations. Melissa describes adding a community space to support deeper money conversations, introduces her prerecorded micro-workshop “Pay Yourself Dammit” to calculate a baseline owner’s draw, and discusses her RV-nomad lifestyle, travel goals, and freedom as her North Star.

  • Guided Meditation - A Gentle Stream

    This guided meditation takes you to a gentle hillside stream — where the water flows around you, over you, and slowly carries away whatever discomfort you've been holding in your body. Tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, that anxious flutter in your stomach — you know the ones.

    Find a comfortable spot to sit or lie down — and if now isn't the right time, bookmark it for later.

    If you enjoyed it, it would be amazing if you shared it with someone who needs this connection or share it on socials and tag me.

  • I Thought It Was Easier to Do It Myself

    I watched them load the dishwasher. I didn't say anything. And then later that night I rearranged every single dish.

    Sure it took five minutes. But what it actually cost me was 20 minutes of ruminating, weeks of low-grade worry, slow-building resentment toward my partner, and time I chose to spend doing something else instead of being with them.

    All over dishes.

    In this episode SuperKate breaks down why highly capable women get attached to doing things the right way — their way — and what that attachment is actually costing in time, stress, and relationships. Plus a body-based practice to help you notice the pattern before it spirals.

  • What Your Posture Says Before You Say A Word — With Crispin Spaeth

    In this episode SuperKate sits down with Crispin Spaeth, Alexander Technique teacher and movement educator, to talk about what's actually happening in our bodies when we walk into something challenging. Why we puff up when we're nervous. Why that puffing up disconnects us from the very presence we're trying to project. And what it feels like to actually inhabit your body instead of performing for it.

    They cover how performative confidence shows up physically — and how to recognize it in yourself. How to connect to your body before a difficult conversation, a presentation, or anything that puts you on the spot. And how your posture is affecting not just how others experience you, but how you experience yourself.

    This one is for anyone who has ever walked into a room trying to look more confident than they felt — and wondered if there was a different way.

  • Why Every Decision Feels Like Too Much — And What To Do About It

    I had 15 things on my list. Some carried over from the week before. And I sat there completely drained, unable to figure out where to start.

    So I let myself feel stuck. I watched a TV episode I knew would make me cry. And afterward — more clarity than I'd had all week.

    In this episode SuperKate talks about why everything feels important and urgent when you're overwhelmed — and why that's not a personal failing, it's a dysregulated nervous system that can't tell the difference between an actual emergency and an unanswered email.

    Plus the scrolling statistic that will make you put your phone down. And five questions to help you find your next right step — starting with your body.

  • The Real Reason You Can't Answer What Do You Want For Dinner?

    Connecting with SuperKate - Episode 22

    "What do you want for dinner?”

    It should be a simple question. But when you've spent weeks crashing on the couch at the end of the day, running in service of everyone else, overriding your own needs so consistently that the signal has gone quiet — there's nothing there. Not "I don't care." Just genuinely, honestly, nothing.

    In this episode SuperKate talks about what it actually costs you when you keep overriding yourself — and it's not what most people expect. One of the hidden costs is losing access to what you want. Not because you're indifferent. Because you've depleted the part of yourself that knows.

    Plus the quiet voices behind all of it. And what your body is actually trying to tell you when it goes blank.

  • Guided Meditation - Spaces In Between

    Take a few minutes for yourself. That's the whole assignment.

    This guided meditation brings your attention to the parts of your body you rarely think about — the fold behind the ear, the spaces between your fingers, the inside of your ankle, the backs of your knees. The in-between places that hold more than you'd expect.

    Find a comfortable spot to sit or lie down — and if now isn't the right time, bookmark it for later.

  • How to Stop Surviving without Abandoning Everything You Built

    "Why don't you take a few days off?”

    If that sentence made you want to roll your eyes — this episode is for you.

    This isn't officially part of the Why Rest Isn't Working series — but it's the question SuperKate gets asked most when talking about prioritizing rest. Because understanding why rest isn't working is one thing. Believing you're allowed to do something about it is something else entirely.

    In this episode — why slowing down feels impossible, the thoughts we stay busy to avoid, and the moment a doe and her fawn in the backyard changed how SuperKate looked at her time.

    Plus a challenge for this week that starts smaller than you think.

  • How To Build Rest Into A Life That Isn't Going To Slow Down — Part 3 of 3

    “Why Rest Isn’t Working” Series

    Nobody told us there was another way.

    So we kept booking the vacations, trying the baths, hoping the next finished project would finally be the thing that got us the rest we needed. And it never quite was.

    In the final episode of the Why Rest Isn't Working series, SuperKate breaks down what real rest actually looks like in a real life — not a retreat, not a spa day, not a two-hour morning routine. Two minutes. Consistently. That's where it starts.

    Plus a commitment statement worth writing down — and keeping.
