Owning Her Authority Podcast | For Ascending Women Ready to Boldly Amplify Their Impact

Have you ever found yourself with the desire to cook a delicious and nutritious meal but at a total loss where to start? Same!

And that's why I'm thrilled to share with you today's conversation with Cassy Joy Garcia. As a New York Times Best-Selling author, the creative force behind the popular food blog Fed + Fit, holistic nutrition consultant, and mama to two littles (soon to be three!) she's perfectly poised to share her insight and methods for creating fun, fast, affordable, and sustainable meals!

Seriously, Cassy Joy's new cookbook Cook Once: Dinner Fix is an absolute game changer. I've personally been cooking from it and her Dinner Fix approach is approachable, flavorful, and eases my dinner stress by leaps and bounds.

Tune in to hear Cassy Joy share her journey from unwell to feeling Fed + Fit, how she shifted her mindset in regards to her approach to food (hint: it's about quality, not quantity!), and how the heart of her mission is a desire for others to not feel so alone in the things that we all struggle with (like getting dinner on the table!).

And while you're at it, join me in cooking from Cook Once Dinner Fix. Not only is the book full of absolutely stunning photography, but the recipe pairings have been a game-changer for me. Prior to connecting with Cassy Joy I was in a serious cooking rut, and now I'm reinvigorated. If you pre-order Cook Once Dinner Fix before it drops on Sept 14th, then Cassy Joy and her team have curated some fabulous goodies that you can redeem on their website ahead of time!

If you could go back and offer advice, guidance, or encouragement to a past version of yourself - what would you say?

This week Cara Ansis of @happywholeway answers this exact question, and her insights highlight her transformation into someone with a deep appreciation for self-love and a commitment to continued growth.

And can't we all use a little more self-love and kindness? So sit back, pour a fresh cup of 'jo, and press play as Cara shares from the heart.

Have you ever had that nagging feeling that you needed to make a change? Whether that was in your career, relationship, or - dare I say - your religious institution?

This week we wrap up our conversation on Spirituality with Cara Ansis. Cara has a master’s degree in Soul Care and is a certified Spiritual Director who works with women as they enter their own inward journey towards taking better care of themselves.

Tune in to hear as Cara shares her own story of spiritual awakening and self-healing - and believe me when I say that she shares with openness, candor, and humor - all while discussing a deeply personal, heartfelt experience.

What attracted Kate to Cara (and her business partner Rachael) of @happywholeway is their emphasis on the everyday techniques, rituals, and tools they share which allow others to connect with their own healing abilities and radically transform their own lives.

When Kate thinks of those who truly embody what it means to "live by design," Cara is at the top of the list. So sit back, pour a fresh cup of coffee, and allow Cara to pour kindness and inspiration into your heart and soul!

Do you appreciate what makes you unique? Do you embrace who you are?

Or do you try to mold yourself into what you think others expect of you?

During this week's bonus episode, I sit down with Wendy Battles of the Reinvention Rebels Podcast and she answers the question I pose to all of our guests, which is: "Knowing what you do now, what do you wish you could share with your ten year's ago self to lend encouragement or guidance?"

Press play to hear Wendy pour self-love and empowerment into your heart and soul. This short but sweet episode is sure to uplift your day!

Friends! I'm so thrilled to bring today's conversation to your ear buds - because let me tell you, this episode is gooooood.

This week we continue our discussion centered on spirituality, and joining the podcast is Wendy Battles of the Reinvention Rebels Podcast. Listening to Wendy each week leaves me feeling inspired, confident, and energized. Not only does Wendy speak to the rebel in me who wants to live by design and not default, but she's also the most articulate, well-spoken podcast host around (seriously, I would listen to Wendy read the phone book!).

So sit back, pour a cup of coffee, and listen to Wendy pour insight and purpose into your day as she shares how she was raised in the Unitarian faith, and through a commitment to curiosity, openness, and intuition, found a spiritual peace with Buddhism.

Do you consider yourself to be a spiritual person? As someone raised in an uber-religious school and church, it took me years to tease through those experiences (which, to be totally honest, weren't full of sunshine and unicorns) and after leaving the church learn what a spiritual practice looks and feels like for me outside of religion.

In today's episode, I open up (like, way, way up!) about the journey I've gone on and how it's led me to embracing spirituality as an opportunity to connect with something bigger than myself, more often than not by slowing down, being purposeful with my actions, and getting outdoors.

This episode was a hard one for me to record, but it's important to me to acknowledge all twelve sections of the Circle of Life exercise which is the basis for our second season of the podcast. So here's me, open, raw, and vulnerable, hoping that my story might make you feel seen and remind you that you're not alone.

Have you ever read a poem or a quote that stopped you in your tracks? Frequently, the work of Yung Pueblo does that for me. Recently he posted a poem from his book, Clarity and Connection, on Instagram that made me pause. And that poem is the inspiration for today's mini meditation. I hope his words speak to you too, dear friend.

So press play, find a comfortable place to sit, and gift yourself 13 minutes to slow down and get back in touch with your breath. Let's find stillness together.

Hey friends! Holy smokes, it's been a beat since a new episode of the pod has come out, and I'm grateful for your patience and understanding while we experienced alllll the life these past couple of months!

Since my last episode we've:

• Packed up, cleaned, and turned in the keys to our rental
• Renovated our forever(ish) home
• Moved in, unpacked (mostly!), and settled into our new home
• Quarantined for 10 days while our youngest had Covid (thankfully he's totally fine now!)
• Welcomed many sets of friends and family to our hometown of Gettysburg, PA for much-needed quality time together (hooray for vaccinations!)
• Celebrated a bunch of birthdays and holidays
• And the podcast celebrated a milestone of 3,500+ downloads - woohooooo!

So today's episode isn't our regularly scheduled programming in that I'm not teaching or sharing on a topic, just catching you up on all the goings-on in my life and business and also share what you can expect from the second half of our second season of The Live By Design Podcast.

I'm so grateful to you for tuning in, sharing your favorite episodes with your friends, and for reviewing the pod. Seriously, it means the world to me, and I'm so thrilled to be back in my podcasting routine because I've missed you, dear friend!
