  • The Rebalancing Act: How to Redefine Success Without Burning Out Part 1

    Summary: In Part 1, Katie sits down with Carol Enneking, leadership advisor, keynote speaker and bestselling author of The Rebalancing Act, to explore what it really means to redefine success without burning out.

    Carol shares her remarkable journey from high-profile corporate roles to accidental entrepreneurship, back to corporate after a surprise divorce, and back to entrepreneurship again and how each twist shaped her understanding of sustainable success. They dig into the invisible pressure entrepreneurs carry, the myth that doing everything yourself is strength, and why knowing your worth is the foundation of everything.

    Carol introduces her powerful three-part framework: think, give up, and let go. A practical approach to reclaiming your time, your energy, and your sense of purpose.

    Key Takeaways

    → Achievement without sustainability comes at a cost. The sooner you learn that, the less you pay for it later.

    → Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Stop spending your highest-value hours on low-value tasks that someone else could handle.

    → Know your worth and charge accordingly. When you are overly busy, that is often a sign you are undercharging.

    → Think, give up, let go. Think about where your time is really going. Give up the things that don't serve you. Let go of the need to control and do everything yourself.

    → Having it all does not equal doing it all. You cannot find fulfillment by trying to do everything at once.

    → Know your values first. When you are clear on your top five priorities, you know exactly what to say yes to and what to let go of.

    → Legacy is the most powerful word. Ask yourself how you want to be known when you leave this phase of life and start living backwards from that answer.

    → The entrepreneurial journey is rarely straight. Resilience is not about having a smooth path, it is about continuing to take the next purposeful step.

  • Why Your Nervous System Is Keeping You Stuck (And How to Change It) Part 2

    Summary: Katie Wrigley and Hailey (psychic nervous system coach) reveal sneaky burnout signals high-achievers miss , like stomach flutters, unfinished sentences, and nervous system shock from positive change. Hailey shares instant grounding hacks (humming, armpit pressure points, eye palm pressing) plus why therapy alone often fails without in-the-moment regulation. Perfect for entrepreneurs hitting walls despite "doing all the right things."

    Key Takeaways
    → Stomach issues = stress signals: Flutters, GERD, food sensitivities show nervous system overload
    → Brain fog alert: Can't finish sentences? Your system is in fight/flight/freeze
    → Quick hacks: Hum your favorite song (brain can't multitask), fist in left armpit + hug, palms on eyelids
    → Familiar hell > unfamiliar heaven: Nervous system rebels against healthy change.. give it 21+ days
    → Neuroplasticity works both ways: Build new paths through repetition, even if bushes need clearing
    → In-the-moment healing > weekly therapy: Text support during triggers beats delayed processing

  • Why Your Nervous System Is Keeping You Stuck (And How to Change It) Part 1

    Summary: In Part 1, Katie sits down with Hailey Coleman, also known as the Psychic Nervous System Coach, to explore how our environment, relationships and unprocessed trauma silently drive our stress responses.
    Hailey opens up about her own experience leaving an emotionally abusive relationship and how full body panic attacks became the wake-up call that sent her on a path to healing. Together, Katie and Hailey unpack why the nervous system screams when we stop listening to ourselves, how chronic stress shows up differently in every body, and what it really means to check in before things spiral.
    They also dig into what to look for in the people around you when you start doing the work, and why healing can feel lonely at first.

    Key Takeaways
    → Panic attacks and anxiety are often the body's last resort after ignoring subtler signals for too long. The nervous system will eventually scream if we don't listen.
    → Environment is everything. This includes the people around you, not just your physical surroundings. Toxic relationships keep the nervous system in survival mode.
    → Do a body check. Sweaty palms, a racing heart, a turning stomach - these are data points. Notice them before they escalate.
    → 70% of Americans are currently in a chronic state of fight or flight. Stress is not a personal failing - it is a systemic pattern.
    → Your gut speaks first. Gut health issues, acid reflux and digestive disruptions are often early signs of nervous system dysregulation before anxiety even reaches the brain.
    → The go-to reset: find a bathroom, close your eyes, one hand on your heart, one on your belly, and breathe deeply for two to three minutes. Simple and powerful.
    → If closing your eyes increases anxiety, hyper-focus on one object instead. This achieves the same grounding effect without triggering the stress response.
    → Learn the tools when you are calm. When you are heightened, your brain cannot absorb new information. Practice regulation before you need it.

  • The Biological Reset That Changes Everything Part 2

    Summary: In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Katie sits down with Matthew Campbell, PhD, clinical psychologist and creator of the Primal Five framework, to explore why so many entrepreneurs feel chronically stressed, exhausted and overwhelmed despite living in the most convenient era in human history.

    Matthew explains that modern life has outpaced human evolution, and the five biological foundations our ancestors relied on naturally (sleep, sunlight, movement, connection and intentional consumption) are now things we have to consciously choose. When those foundations erode, no amount of mindset work can fully compensate.

    Katie and Matthew also dig into the hidden cost of news consumption and how our brains are wired to overestimate threat when constantly exposed to alarming content.

    Key Takeaways

    → Industrialization far outpaces evolution. We have the same bodies our ancestors had, now operating in a radically different world.
    → The five biological foundations (sleep, sunlight, movement, connection and intentional consumption) are not optional extras. They are the foundation everything else is built on.
    → Convenience is a short-term win with a long-term cost. The easier life gets, the less we use our bodies the way they were designed to be used.
    → Everything we consume is fuel, including the news, social media and digital content. What you consume shapes how your nervous system responds to the world.
    → Limiting news exposure is not being uninformed. It is protecting your nervous system. Matthew recommends a maximum of 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon.
    → Mindset strategies have limits when foundational biological needs are not being met. You cannot think your way out of sleep deprivation or loneliness.

  • Sustainable Support: The Right Way to Make Your First Hire Part 2

    Summary In part two, Katie and Kate pick up the conversation by walking through Kate's 90-day Hire to Rise Roadmap — the exact process she uses to help solopreneurs find, vet, and onboard the right VA. They explore why rushing the hiring process always costs more in the long run, how conscious leadership creates a foundation of trust and collaboration, and how to handle VA mistakes with curiosity and compassion rather than reaction. Kate closes with a powerful reminder that has stuck with us: delegation is self-care.

    Takeaways

    • The Hire to Rise Roadmap breaks the hiring process into three clear phases: assess, interview, and onboard.
    • Hiring out of desperation leads to poor matches — take the time to get it right.
    • Hire before you think you're ready whenever possible.
    • Conscious leadership means approaching mistakes with curiosity rather than judgment.
    • Creating a safe environment for mistakes fosters trust and long-term collaboration.
    • Your VA will likely be harder on themselves over a mistake than you will be — lead with compassion.
    • Responding instead of reacting as a leader sets the tone for the entire working relationship.
    • Delegation is self-care — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
    • You don't need to have everything perfectly organized before hiring — just know how you do things now and what success looks like.

  • Sustainable Support: The Right Way to Make Your First Hire Part 1

    Summary In part one of this episode of the Catapult Effect podcast, host Katie Wrigley speaks with Kate Lenihan, founder of Rise Hire Consulting, about how overwhelmed solopreneurs can find and hire the right virtual assistant. They discuss why the first VA hire often goes wrong, the importance of thorough onboarding, and how to evaluate whether your VA is truly moving the needle in your business. Kate also introduces the Eisenhower Matrix as a tool to help entrepreneurs prioritize tasks and stop treating everything as urgent.

    Takeaways

    • Finding the right VA is crucial for entrepreneurs — skill set AND values alignment matter.
    • Most first-time hires fail because entrepreneurs look for a "unicorn" instead of hiring for their most urgent need.
    • Onboarding is the most important and most overlooked part of the hiring process.
    • Deep, intentional interview questions and test tasks help uncover the right candidate.
    • Regularly evaluate whether your VA is actually moving the needle in your business.
    • Create a "future pace list" of tasks to delegate as the relationship grows.
    • Not everything is urgent or important — use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize wisely.
    • Taking a pause before making decisions leads to better outcomes.
