Hey friend! Thanks for joining me for another episode of the Empower Her Co Podcast. I’m grateful that you’re here and excited to share today’s guest.   If this episode seems like a chat between friends, you’d be right. I’m grateful to have Kyla as a respected friend. I always learn so much from her whenever we get together. She’s full of knowledge and I appreciate her vulnerability in sharing today. Key Takeaways

• Kyla is from a small town in Wisconsin and studied Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management. She spent years on the east coast before returning to Iowa to start a business.
• Kyla opened an event space at the start of the Pandemic and it made her reevaluate her priorities. She realized the toll it was taking on her physically and mentally. She felt like a bad mom and wife. The people she interacted with at work got to see an outgoing, bubbly personality, but it left nothing for her family.
• Kyla still loves event planning, but now focuses on health coaching. She loves to help others achieve their goals while being able to travel and spend time with family.
• Kyla works hard to lead a life she finds fulfilling and feels she is a more present family member as a result. She is committed to keeping daily habits that support her long term goals.
• Daily habits Kyla swears by include waking up before her children and using that time to focus on self improvement with reading, journaling, and meditating. She always incorporates some sort of movement into her day and avoids screens an hour before bed.
• Kyla reminds us she didn’t make changes all at once: She started waking up an hour before her family just ten minutes at a time. Big changes add up!
• Kyla has read 35 books so far this year! She recommends (and I agree) Your Best Yes by Lisa TerKeurst.
• Favorite podcasters include Mel Robbins, John Maxwell, and Doug Wood.
