Ever find yourself irrationally upset over a minor inconvenience, like a missing toilet paper roll? Natalie Diaz and I, Katie Kovaleski, invite you to uncover the historical roots behind these "hysterical" reactions. By exploring the true meaning behind emotional triggers, we aim to shed light on how these moments can be the result of unmet needs or deeper past traumas. Join us as we unravel the complexities of our emotional landscapes and emphasize the importance of understanding these psychological patterns for healthier living.
In an engaging discussion, we recount a personal encounter involving a playful dog named Murphy, which highlights how emotional reactions can surface unexpectedly. This story serves as a springboard for exploring effective strategies for managing such emotional responses, including the importance of recognizing our need to create physical and emotional space. We underline the value of safe and consensual support through desensitization and self-awareness, helping listeners understand how to effectively soothe their nervous systems and prioritize emotional well-being.
With life's pressures often lowering our emotional bandwidth, we discuss the importance of identifying when stress, fatigue, or hunger might amplify our responses. By acknowledging these contributing factors, you can learn to pause, question your reactions, and choose the right time to address triggers. We delve into breaking repetitive emotional cycles and the power of subconscious rewiring, encouraging a curious approach to understanding and transforming ingrained beliefs for a more balanced and insightful future.

Unlock the secrets to thriving in midlife with a fresh perspective on self-care that cuts through the clichés. Have you ever considered how the seasonal shift into Leo season and the back-to-school rush can subtly nudge us back into routines, reshaping our lives regardless of our parental status? This episode promises to redefine your understanding of self-care during the transformative midlife stage, offering insights that support your nervous system and overall well-being amidst life's ever-evolving seasons.
Join us as we tackle the subconscious blocks and environmental factors that could be stalling your self-care journey. We'll wander through the contrasting energies of Florida's intense summers and the more anticipated northern ones, reflecting on how these environments shape our routines and emotional resilience. Discover practical strategies to ground yourself, like morning rituals and the 4-7-8 breath technique, designed to enhance emotional bandwidth and integrate self-love more seamlessly into your daily life.
Midlife can be a rollercoaster of fluctuating energy levels, but embracing this ride is key to a balanced life. We're here to remind you there's no single path to effective self-care. Whether through yoga, breath work, or laughter, the goal is to create a personalized toolkit that nurtures your mind, body, and spirit. With a touch of humor and a light-hearted joke, we'll leave you with a smile, reminding you of the healing power of laughter in your self-care repertoire.

Have you ever felt like you're losing touch with who you are as your body goes through midlife changes? Join us on this heartfelt journey as Katie Kovaleski and Natalie Diaz open up about the rollercoaster of hormonal shifts and their profound impact on personal identity and relationships. With candid honesty, Katie shares her battle with a progesterone deficiency and the emotional ups and downs that accompany it, while Natalie reflects on how certain phases of her cycle challenge her usual sunny disposition. Together, they explore the importance of self-awareness, self-care, and the grace to not always meet societal expectations, offering a comforting reminder that you're not alone in these transitions.
We also dive into the often-overlooked topic of perimenopause, shedding light on proactive steps like hormone testing and personalized healthcare approaches. Katie shares her personal experience with the Dutch test and the journey of finding a supportive osteopath to stabilize her hormone levels. As we navigate this transformative period, we discuss the role of empathy, self-love, and subconscious modalities like PSYCH-K in adapting to our evolving selves. With openness, curiosity, and self-compassion, we encourage you to embrace midlife changes, recognizing the power of shared experiences in building understanding and support.

What if the roles you play in your relationships are not a conscious choice, but rather a subconscious programming dictating your actions? Join me, Katie Kovaleski, as we unravel the complex threads of codependency and relationship dynamics, promising you a journey toward understanding and shifting automatic behaviors for healthier interactions. With insights drawn from my years as a marriage and family therapist, I spotlight how early subconscious programming can put us on autopilot, affecting our responses and perceptions in relationships. Learn how increasing your nervous system's bandwidth can be a game-changer in managing stress and embracing self-awareness, allowing you to break free from negative patterns and enhance your relational health.
Explore the often unseen roles of rescuer, victim, and villain that women unconsciously adopt, shaped by societal norms and early conditioning. These roles, while initially serving as coping mechanisms, can lead to burnout and necessitate a re-alignment with one's true essence as personal growth unfolds. We'll also touch upon the dance of masculine and feminine energies within relationships and the importance of finding equilibrium. Tune in for honest discussions about the energetic roles in partnerships and the crucial need for self-awareness and communication. Your questions and personal stories are welcomed as we continue this exploration, with new episodes launching on my birthday, October 18th. Let's embark on this enlightening journey together.

Welcome back to SASS! We are on the road traveling today to Mount Shasta, which is the root chakra of the earth. And apparently it is full of amazing energy and is an amazing amazing place to visit, so we're really excited. And while we're on this drive, I thought it would be fun to talk about five benefits of group coaching for growth and development.
Group coaching provides interesting additions to the therapeutic process that I find really beneficial and here are my top 5 that I’m discussing on today’s episode:
Synergy
Validation
Gut check/mirroring
Accountability
Support & cheerleading
If you're interested in group coaching, feel free to check out my group coaching pages or follow me on Instagram at coach_KatieK. I offer six week and six month group coaching programs, and I have a six week program coming up called "The Art of Confrontation," where we're going to spend six weeks, unblocking everything that might be preventing you from speaking your truth. And then we're going to do a lot of practicing and some subconscious change to make that much much easier.
I also have a six-month group coming up this summer called "Quantum Leap." We meet every other week for 6-months to clarify all of your goals, create a goal map and then subconsciously unblock anything that's stopping you from reaching those goals. If you're interested in those check them out and feel free to ask me any questions you may have or book a free 15-minute call to discuss what options might work best for you!
