The night before our chat, Katie emailed us, asking if it would be video as well as audio. I replied, "Well, we record with video on just so it’s a little more personal but feel free to be in your jammies and a messy bun Podcast itself will only be the audio!"She replied with a 🙌🏻💯 🙌🏻, and we knew: Katie is awesome! We share this story because as we were chatting about this interaction, she gave her first (of many!) nugget of wisdom by saying this:"I try to remain professional in communications over email, but also wanting to give people a sense of warmth and kindness and authenticity."And she did! Katie will charm you, inspire you, and teach you as she describes her life, her struggles, and her triumphs. Be sure to check out her coaching practice, a model she describes as as a place for everyone to get coached!
