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

When things get hard, what do you reach for to pull you through? To encourage you? To inspire, uplift, or motivate you? Well for me, I go to my personal mantra, over and over again. I tell myself, “I get to do this. I can do hard things.” Because there is strength and power in words and how you use them to speak to yourself. My mantra’s gotten me through 12 half marathons, 1 full marathon, 2 child births, launching my business, and so much more. So whether or not you have a mantra, this episode is for you. Because we find ourselves in unprecedented times, and I figure we could all probably use a little extra grace, strength, and motivation.

At the heart of the Live By Design Podcast is the belief that you and you alone are responsible for your health and happiness. And because of this, you have to make yourself and your dreams a priority. Nobody else can do the thing for you that brings you joy. Nobody else can run the miles, take the spin class, dance it out, or do the meditation for you. One way that I make my well being a priority is through goal setting. And not just goal setting but goal crushing. I know, it sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. 

If you don’t call your shot, how will you ever have the gumption, perseverance, or determination to make it happen…and enjoy the journey along the way? So today, let’s dig into why you should set goals, how to go about doing so, and what practices you can put in place to keep yourself moving forward and accountable to your future self. And stay tuned, because you’re about to hear Kate spit some serious fire!

Inspired to set your own goals? Grab Kate’s Goal Crusher Guide to get this goal-setting party started. And for full show notes and resources, head over to mskatehouse.com/episode-notes.

Is there someone in your life who recently did or said something that gave you the warm and fuzzies? Then this meditation is for you because during it we both meditate and practice gratitude for this special person. And it wouldn’t be a Live by Design Podcast episode if I didn’t have a little challenge for you…after all, we’re all about living by design, not default. So after you wrap up today’s episode, reach out to your person and thank them for whatever reason brought them to mind in the first place. Be specific and sincere, and then watch the love and positivity created from this action grow.

If you’re ready to start practicing gratitude daily after listening to today’s show or The Couples Gratitude Practice That’s Change Everything episode, then grab my free Couples Gratitude Practice Guide to get started today! Then tag me on Instagram @livebydesignpodcast to share how the practice has impacted your life too.

Next Week on The Live by Design Podcast we’ll be talking about having goals (crazy big ones!), how to set them, ways to keep yourself accountable, and how keeping a Start Today Journal and creating a Vision Board have helped me crush three big goals recently. Tune in to find out what they are. Here’s a hint…the podcast could be one of them! Until then friends. Spread some joy. Make someone smile.

This week I sit down with my husband to discuss our shared gratitude practice and how it’s made us stronger and closer as a couple…even during a pandemic with two toddlers at home! This simple 10 minute practice started as a one week challenge, and over a year later we’re still going strong.

As someone who enjoys being on-the-go, learning to sit still long enough to meditate and experience all the benefits it holds was no small feat. But my dear friend, Lara Devine, created a space in which I was able to find joy and contentment in stillness and breath. So to you, sweet friend, I dedicate this episode.

If you enjoyed this week’s full length episode, What is a Flow State Anyways?, then this meditation is for you. Give it a listen and from the place of clarity you find post-meditation, embark on your chosen flow state activity. 

If you need guidance, grab my How to Achieve a Flow State Guide which will walk you through the process of getting “in the zone.” Be sure to tag @livebydesignpodcast on Instagram to share how you found joy through flow this week!

Hi friends, and welcome to our first-ever Mini Meditation Episode of the Live by Design Podcast! In the spirit of "done is better than perfect," this episode is coming at you from the inside of my closet during my toddlers' nap-time. While the sound quality isn't exactly perfect, in future weeks my full recording set-up will be moved to said closet so better quality is just around the corner. In the meantime, I hope you can appreciate the sincerity with which I speak to you and that you ultimately end this episode feeler a little lighter and a little brighter than when you started. So find someplace quiet, take a seat, get comfortable, and enjoy the first of many Live by Design Mini Meditations.

Hi friends, and welcome to the first-ever episode of the Live by Design Podcast, hosted by me - Kate House! In this introductory episode, I share more about who I am, why I’m passionate about living a life of purpose, and I get real in opening up about how my love of health and fitness began at a very young age and was inspired by my younger brother.

I share what you can expect each week from the LBD Podcast, which includes a full-length episode as well as a mini meditation episode, how I married my college sweetheart (throwback pic from when we were 18 in the show notes!), my journey of becoming both a certified yoga instructor and a health coach, and how we grew to a family of four with our two sons.

I look forward to seeing you for next week’s episode, where we'll discuss flow states and the joy they create, and until then friends, spread some joy and make someone smile!

Hey friend, and welcome to the Live By Design Podcast! I’m your host, Kate House. 

By day you can find me living in small-town PA, married to my college sweetheart, and leaning into motherhood as a stay-at-home mama to my two little boys and two pup dogs too.

By night I pursue my personal sense of purpose - which is to help as many of us high-achieving, goal-oriented women live by design and not by default. As a certified behavior change specialist, health coach, yoga instructor, and top 3% global podcaster, I’m perfectly poised to help you ditch those feelings of overwhelm, get unstuck, and take aligned action so that you can go from trying to learn “all the things” all at once, to focused, action-oriented, and making weekly - if not daily - progress toward your goals in small, sustainable ways. Because that’s the secret to seeing big shifts over time.

Together, let’s explore powerful habits, mindset shifts, goals with soul, self awareness and lifelong learning, all while cultivating joy and practicing gratitude each step of the way.

There’s nothing I love more than being the voice of a friend in your ear, to be the mindset and self-love coach who believes in you and knows that you’re worthy of pursuing big, audacious goals, and I’ll always be here as an unapologetic advocate for you living your dream life.

And when you’re ready to work with me, my website mskatehouse.com holds everything you need to know about one-on-one coaching, the LBD Collective, the pursue your purpose masterclass, my upcoming summit, and even a bunch of free resources like the all-time fan favorite monthly habit tracker with intention setting and monthly reflection prompts too. 

So pop in your earbuds, press play, and together, let’s live by design and not default.
