In this first episode of the Ready or Not mini-series, Katelyn tackles the question so many of us ask when we're considering change: Is it the right time? Whether you're thinking about a new job, tweaking a routine, or making time for something new, the timing rarely feels right. She explains why your brain resists change, even when it’s for the better—and how waiting for the “perfect time” might keep you stuck, and why small steps matter—especially in busy seasons. Plus, hear how her backyard garden became a powerful reminder that starting now is almost always worth it.

You’ve heard the phrase “she’s living her best life”—but what does that really mean when you're juggling deadlines, daycare pickups, and dinner plans?

In this episode, Katelyn explores what it looks like for working moms—and why it might not require a big career change, a vacation abroad, or even more hours in your day. If you’re tired of just making it through each day and want to be someone who feels like she's living her best life, this episode will give you a fresh perspective along with practical next steps.

You'll hear:

• Why this phrase sticks with us (and what it really means)

• How to spot the gap between surviving and living

• Real-life examples of joy that don’t require a life overhaul

• A powerful journaling prompt to get you unstuck

Learn how fun isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you practice.

How often do you catch yourself saying, “I'm busy," "I'm tired," or "I don’t know”? Those little phrases might seem insignificant in the moment, but they can be silently impacting what you're capable of as a working mom. In this episode, you'll hear a real story from a client who caught herself habitually saying one of these phrases, learn to recognize your own default responses, and walk away with simple shifts to help you trust yourself more—in the office, at home, and everywhere in between.

This is your permission slip to do a little less. If you’ve ever felt like you're giving everything you have—and then some—it's time to explore a radical but freeing idea: What if your 70% effort is the equivalent of everyone else’s 100%?

In this episode we're exploring what it means to show up, deliver, and lead as a high-achieving woman—especially when you’re balancing work and motherhood. It isn’t about lowering your standards or being out of integrity; it’s about recognizing your value, impact, and capacity, even when you're not operating at full throttle.

You’ll walk away with:

• A new way to think about effort vs. impact

• A practical mindset shift that could help you reclaim time and energy

• Validation that you are already doing enough—and more

If you're craving a healthier work-life balance and a career that supports your life (not the other way around), press play.
