In this episode of Building HER, Katja shares her story of judgment, failure, identity, permission, unknown and how she reworked them. She takes listeners behind the scenes of how she went from lost and unfulfilled in a six-figure corporate job to creating a purpose-driven coaching business, inspiring women everywhere to trade the life that looks good for one that feels good.
