  • why romanticizing grief is the key to romanticizing your life + how it serves your desire for more

    Happy Halloween! Today was the perfect day to release this episode on grief, and how romanticizing it uplevels your feminine healing journey.

    Most people will tell you to romanticize your life through buying fresh flowers or wearing a pretty dress, and while these are all aesthetically pleasing and soothing to our environment, a true, soft, romantic life requires romanticizing your grief.

    This doesn’t mean having a victim mindset, or manifesting negative situations in order to grow, but becoming curious on the new relationship that you are meant to have with yourself on the other side of a challenge or intense situation in your life.

    Feminine energy is a cyclical essence, and one that is constantly experiencing death and rebirth. Many of us are afraid to grieve an identity we’ve assumed, or a lifestyle that is no longer serving us, but the rupture is the key to becoming open for more.

  • Why Your Intuition is Your #1 Asset as a Creative + Plus An Energy Practice

    You or someone you know have probably experienced a “gut feeling” at least once in their life. Dreams and gut feelings are the most popular (and culturally accepted) forms of intuition, but there is an entire guidance system in our bodies that most of us aren’t taught to tap into!

    Creatives are slowly moving away from the “starving artist” archetype with the access to online resources and opportunities for connection available, but what if the missing link has been within you all along? And you just need to work the muscle?

    In this episode, Kate shares:

    * What intuition is

    * Her recent intuitive downloads around writing and publishing that have led to breakthroughs and ah-ha moments

    * The difference between a psychic and an intuitive

    * Why creatives (dancers, writers, healers, etc.) especially need to have intuition in their corner

    * A short energy practice so you can start tapping into your intuition to make decisions that are aligned for you!

  • RECAP of My First Guest Author Appearance with a Book Club!

    I had the opportunity recently to partner with a book club who hosted my fantasy romance novel “Threads of Flames and Starlight” for the month of September (which was my birthday month!) I was invited to the meeting at the beginning of October, and had the most amazing time doing Q&A and chatting with everyone.

    This episode is a recap of that night, and I’m manifesting doing this again soon!

  • How Falling Off a Pole Helped Me Shift My Self Image + How to turn your triggers into blessings

    If the Mean Girls movie scene with the quote, “How many of you have ever felt personally victimized by Regina George?” where a real life scenario, we’d all be raising our hands if asked if we’ve been triggered.

    It’s part of life. But what most don’t learn is how to use our triggers, otherwise known as reflections, to help us grow.

    In this episode, we discuss the Mirror Theory aka the Law of Reflection, and Kate shares a recent personal experience where she recognized a reflection (after falling off her dance pole!) and how she’s begun to shift it.

    (This is a process that you too can apply!)

  • Why Your Independence Turns Him On; And Why it Doesn't

    When you think of an independent woman, who comes to mind?

    Is she someone who can hold her own, and is also a bright light in the world?

    Or has she made a beautiful life for herself, while feeling anxious, unsafe, and unfulfilled?

    In the debate of the “independent woman,” some claim that it is rooted in anger and unattractive, while others find a woman’s ambition a turn on.

    This podcast is a reflection into deciphering what it means to be independent, or alternatively, soverign

    The sovereign independent woman leads with her heart, not her competition

    In this episode, we discuss:

    * The Law of Polarity and how it applies to relationships

    * What men truly mean when they find an independent woman to be attractive (or unattractive!)

    * An explanation of the energy that inspires men to value your time, essence, and energy (no need to scroll on “how to make him obsessed with you” videos!

  • Affirmations Are Like Fake Orgasms | how to rephrase your affirmations to manifest without frustration

    You: “I am successful”

    Your Brain: “You’re not the one who got the promotion.”

    You: “I am financially abundant.”

    Your Brain: “What about the $500 we just spent on car repairs? Or the 2k sitting on the credit card. Oh, and we need more groceries.”

    Sound familiar?

    Affirmations have been a gateway to allowing us to entertain the possiblity of a new life, identity, and environment.

    However, our mind has a system called the “Reticular Activating System” that is screaming “objection!” when you are reciting affirmations.

    It’s not trying to sabotage you, but keep you safe in the unconscious stories you’ve been building since your childhood.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    * The affirmation scene from a “Sex and the City” episode

    * Why affirmations can cause frustration

    * What the Reticular Activating System is and how to tweak your affirmations (and how you relate to them) to actually magnetize your manifestations in a fun way

    So that way your mind is playing a role similar to a bubbly, curious Ariel from The Little Mermaid discovering a shipwreck, instead of a grumpy grandpa stuck in his ways!

  • "The Universe is My Sugar Daddy" But Are You a Responsible Sugar Baby?

    “The Universe is My Sugar Daddy” phrase in feminine-based businesses is slowly fading out, but for this reason:

    We don’t receive by saying affirmations and meditating all day

    This energy pulls us out of our healthy femininity, and into codependent energy that takes us away from recognizing our inner power.

    Sure, it’s a fun and sexy affirmation

    But do we misunderstand what actually goes into a Sugar dynamic?

    Do men (and the universe) actually respond to entitlement, and constant lean-back energy, or do they require presence and growth in order to be willing to provide long term?

    In manifestation, are we being irresponsible sugar babies?

    In this episode:

    * Kate shares the Instagram post that inspired this topic (and her findings on what sugar daddies actually want, and applying it to manifestation)

    * How taking action and improving yourself makes you more open to sustainable manifestations

  • Making Manifestation a Sensual Experience + How Scent Can Bridge Your Old Reality To Your New One

    It’s a myth that the masculine leads first.

    It is the feminine.

    She sets the example for how she craves to be adored, loved, and cherished.

    Then the masculine follows suit.

    Like romantic connections, the association we have with our desires are a relationship that desires to be nourished.

    By acquainting ourselves with the sensations, and sensuality, of having our desires in the 3D reality, the universe can fill in the rest.

    I recently experimented with the concept of using physical sensation, and scent in particualar, to manifest a financial goal in a recent book launch.

    We tend to think we have a block when our manifestations feel far away...

    But it is a matter of realignment, and familiarizing our body’s experience with the desired outcome now.

    In this episode we explore:

    * The concept of blocks vs. realignment

    * How our brain associates scent with more than just a smell, but an experience

    * How the lover archetype, and bringing sensuality into your life, draws in your manifestations

  • What Eros and Psyche Teach Us About Manifestation | Your Desires Are the GPS, Not the Destination

    The story of Eros and Psyche is one that is beloved across generations.

    The god of desire, and the goddess of soul, join together in partnership.

    They face challenges that force Eros to be vulnerable, and Psyche to ascend from mortal to goddess.

    There are a multitude of lessons we can learn from their journey, but today’s episode is focused on this:

    The combination of desire, and soul, birthed pleasure. (In the story, their daughter Hedone, the goddess of joy and pleasure)

    We often get too caught up in solely desire, and forget our spirit, in the pursuit of pleasure.

    The story of Eros and Psyche show us how these two essences are not separate, but the ingredients to our ultimate joy.

    In this episode we explore:

    * How excitement and desire are not the driving factor of manifestation, but the byproduct

    * Understanding what your desires are providing for you now, even if the 3D expression is not yet here

    * A short retelling of Eros and Psyche, and what their journey teaches us about the manifestation journey
