In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy’s going deep into one of the hardest patterns to break in business - operating from survival mode. That constant rush of doing, fixing, and firefighting that feels productive… until it doesn’t. Katy shares her own story of building a thriving business while running on empty, and how she learned that you can’t scale chaos. This episode is your reminder that growth only happens when your body, mind, and business feel safe enough to expand.

Key Takeaways:

You can’t build your next level from a place of panic.

If you’re always reacting instead of leading, you’re just recreating chaos. Real expansion only happens when you create space to think, breathe, and choose your moves intentionally.

Being constantly busy is often just avoidance in disguise.

When you fill every gap in your day with tasks, it’s usually because slowing down feels unsafe. But quiet is where the real growth happens.

Your body always knows before your brain catches up.

If you’re tired, irritable, or running on coffee and adrenaline - that’s not ambition, that’s your body waving the red flag. Safety and stability are your real superpowers.

You might be hitting goals but still missing peace.

If you can’t hold what you’ve built without it draining you, you’re not growing, you’re coping. Learn to expand your capacity, not just your to-do list.

Your wellbeing isn’t a ‘nice to have’ - it’s your business strategy.

The more you take care of your energy, boundaries, and headspace, the stronger and more sustainable your business becomes.
