Alisa, who has walked a powerful healing journey herself, breaks down what trauma truly is and how it’s encoded in your physiology as negative beliefs that keep you playing small.This conversation is the deep dive into the mindset block and unseen resistance that we often experience, including:💔 The shocking truth about how negative beliefs like "I'm not good enough" act as a trauma response, not a personal flaw.🧠 How emotional numbness, anxiety, and self-sabotaging coping mechanisms (like drinking) are your body's signal that your voice is suppressed and your potential is unfulfilled.🧘‍♀️ The power of Somatic Work and EMDR in literally rewriting the neural pathways that are holding your leadership back.🚧 Why comparing your struggle to others is a form of self-minimization that prevents you from setting healthy boundaries.✨ The essential first step to becoming your "strongest support system" and attracting meaningful, aligned connections and support systems.If you’ve been feeling a frustrating internal disconnect—knowing you’re capable of more but lacking the clarity and unwavering confidence to unlock that potential—this episode is your roadmap to the healing that precedes your greatest expansion. It all starts with you, and Alisa is here to remind you that your personal power is waiting on the other side of this discomfort.Connect with Alisa: www.since.life | instagram @alisa_art | Psychology Today---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Today I'm sharing another behind-the-scenes episode with you from the Goals With Soul Summit that's happening this week! If you still want to join us, you can do so here! ➡ https://mskatehouse.com/goalswithsoulsummit---As we dive into the topic of Desire and Vision today in the summit, I want to take a moment to encourage you to trust yourself to take the next right step on your journey. So often there's this idea that we "should" know exactly where we're headed, but what if instead we followed our own personal north star and trusted ourselves and our intuition to take one step forward after another - allowing for both commitment to our goals and the unfolding of the magic of life.In today's episode I'm taking a more personal approach and sharing my own journey of connecting to my inner guidance, listening to little nudges from the universe, and trusting myself to take just one step at a time - and it's my hope that in sharing these stories you too choose to trust yourself and approach growth and goal-getting from the perspective of curiousity and kindness towards yourself too!---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

I’m going to share three specific things with you that will help take the pressure off this weighty topic and help all of us know that we can identify a life full of purpose, and start pursuing it today - and without having to drastically change everything about your life to do so.So friend, let’s start leaning into our purpose together, one decision, one habit, and one day at a time.---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Hey there, friend!When I first started podcasting, I approached it as a passion project 😍I was so excited to have a way of holding myself accountable to my own personal growth goals, and to get to bring our listening community along for the ride!About a year into my podcasting journey, I realized just how many of us there are that have big, exciting goals placed on our hearts to pursue - but we’re not really sure where to start or how to keep the momentum going as we pursue our dreams AND maintain and enjoy our day-to-day lives!Thus began my deep dive into all things purpose, intentional living, and daily practices like cultivating joy and practicing gratitude.And here’s what I’ve learned, friend.We’re usually really good at creating a goals list, action steps, and dreaming big - but it’s in the actual implementation of the habits that help us move the needle on achieving our goals where things get tricky.And that’s exactly why I created The Goals With Soul Summit!I want us high-achieving, goal-getting women to learn a repeatable process for getting clear on what YOU actually want from life, how to take courageous action to get there, and the power of small, sustainable gains over time. And I cannot wait to share all of this with you during summit in a few weeks!During the free Goals With Soul Summit, which is happening May 1-4, 2023, we’ll help you move from stressed or overwhelmed to focused and making daily progress in the direction of your goals (all without those all-too-familiar feelings of overwhelm!).And the best part? It’s completely free and is hosted via a private podcast feed. Gone are the days of sitting down to watch video presentations - because I figure if I don’t have time for that you probably don’t too! Instead, pop in your earbuds and take your learning on-the-go while you get ready for the day, do school drop-offs, take a walk, or (my personal favorite) fold that mountain of laundry that’s been staring at you for days (or am I the only one 😉?!).All you have to do is register, which you can do here!www.goalswithsoulsummit.comThe Goals With Soul Summit is going to be a blast! Our speaker lineup is incredible and includes all past Live By Design Podcast Guests (so you know these conversations are going to be 🔥🔥🔥), and our 4 days together are jam-packed with fun surprises that I promise you won’t want to miss!

Ever have the best of intentions when layering a new habit into your life...and then BAM! Life just happens? Well, that's how my April went 😂My habit intention was to sweat from a place of joy each day through the 12-3-30 treadmill workout...and then I threw out my neck and that was definitely no longer something I could do!But instead of feeling discouraged and throwing in the towel so to speak, I used it as an opportunity to pivot my habit for the month to something that was loving and nurturing for myself instead. So if you need someone to encourage you to layer purposeful habits into your day, and to give you permission to make changes in real time when needed, then this episode was recorded just for you friend!And while we're at it, grab your free Habit Tracker and plan your May habit implementation with me! ---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

This month in the LBD Collective we took the month to press pause, reflect back on the first quarter of 2023, and set our intentions for the next three months to come. We also did a bit of "spring cleaning" during our Discovery Night - the evening we come together for a brief meditation, sharing what's new and good in our lives, then we journal for our 30 minutes with personally curated prompts, and finally we wrap it all up with a group discussion!It was really neat in April, because there was one prompt in particular that really spoke to our hearts, and it reads, "What are the top three energy zappers in your life at the moment? Is it possible to release or minimize them? What action steps would that require you follow through?"So today we're going to identify your own personal energy zappers and think through how you might "spring clean" those too!---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Any other readers out there?! 📚Y'all know I love to read - and I enjoy all sorts of books - personal growth, fiction, fantasy, mystery, romance, young adult - I’m here for all of it!Which is why I’m so excited today to chat with author Kyrie McCauley. I’ve read two of her recent books and was so struck by the way she weaves together big topics - such as domestic violence awareness and advocacy - into her fictional books with characters that feel so alive I wouldn’t be surprised if they up and walked out of my book! Kyrie McCauley spent her childhood climbing trees in dresses and reading books during class. She is the author of If These Wings Could Fly, recipient of the 2021 William C. Morris Award, We Can Be Heroes, and forthcoming All the Dead Lie Down. Part of living by design and not by default, to be personally at least, is taking responsibility for the world in which we live and leaving it better than we found it. The LBD Collective donates a portion of our membership fees each quarter to a non-profit, and thanks to Kyrie’s suggestion we gave to DC Safe for the first quarter of 2023.It’s important to me to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, and today’s episode is one way I’m hoping to grow awareness around social issues and what we can do about them to support survivors, grow awareness, and implement change going forward.Support DC Safe too ➡ https://www.dcsafe.orgConnect with Kyrie:www.kyriemccauley.com | IG @kyriemccauley | Twitter: @kyriemccauley ---🌟 Register for the FREE Goals with Soul Summit Today! 🌟Join me and 20+ inspiring female speakers for a free 4-day conference for high-achieving women ready to go from stressed and overwhelmed to focused and making progress toward your goals from May 1-4, 2023!Learn bite-sized habits and mindset shifts to help you take courageous action to achieve your goals in a totally doable, sustainable way - no matter how busy you are or how little time you have for yourself.

Ever wonder why your willpower helps you in the short-term with your goals, but ultimately a longer-term solution is needed? Often times, if we can set up the environment around us to make our desired habit easy to complete (and our less desired habit invisible!) we can release the need for motivation or willpower and instead allow our environment to give us the habit cue that's needed. Which is so much more sustainable and successful in the long run!

✨ Would you describe yourself as a people pleaser?✨ Do you have a hard time being straightforward with your feelings?✨ Do you have a tendency to beat around the bush if something is bothering you?✨ Are you worrying about what other people are thinking about you?

Natalie shares with us how she learned to trust herself again as she pivoted her career during the pandemic, how her podcast was a tipping point for sharing her truth and her experiences despite the fear of judgment, and an important reminder not to give other people power over you because you’re afraid of what they might think.

It’s a new year and with a new year comes goal setting. But what if you aren’t feeling excited about your goals? Or maybe you don’t know where to start. Perhaps you even feel overwhelmed by the whole process and have thrown in the towel when it comes to setting an intention for the year to come.I find when this happens that if we identify our fundamental core values first, we can allow them to become the lens through which we weigh our decisions - particularly when deciding what goals to set for ourselves.So, if you are feeling lost when it comes to setting goals and then distilling them down into purpose-aligned habits then let’s dial it back and focus on your core values - as they’ll oftentimes help you in making decisions and plans going forward! If you are ready to do this inner work, together, then pop in those ear buds and let’s go!Need help identifying your core values? My Pursue Your Purpose Masterclass has an entire module devoted to getting clear on your core values.

I hope these episodes leave you feeling lighter and brighter after each listen! So let’s hop into this gratitude practice, together.This week I’m grateful for a recent bedroom-turned-workout-room conversion that my hubby and I have been working on and recently finished up. Just last night we got our little boys down for bed and then instead of falling into our couch we decided to spend 40 minutes walking on the treadmill and riding our Peloton together. We still watched our latest TV show (Peaky Blinders, anyone?!), but we got our sweat session in too!

Does this sound familiar? ⭐You are flipping through family photos but there is someone missing. YOU! You shy away from the camera because you don’t feel confident in how your skin looks. ⭐ You feel anxious going into a store to purchase skincare products because you don’t know where to start and what would actually work for you. Well friend, this is also exactly how I felt and I ended up ignoring my skin for way too long because of it. I tried a number of skincare products that caused breakouts and dryness, the exact opposite of what I was looking for. I even tried prescription medication and that made my skin even worse (and was even painful at times!). But I was determined to find something that would work.When I connected with Julie Longyear, Owner, CEO, and Head Herbal Chemist of Blissoma, I found all the answers I’d been looking for! If it wasn’t for Julie creating Blissoma’s all natural line of products there’s a real possibility that I would still be ignoring my skin and hiding from the camera. I’m now feel confident again in my skin, something I didn’t think would ever happen!So my friend, if you want to feel confident in your skin, while knowing that your new skincare routine is actually good for your skin, join Julie and I as we chat about all things skincare and what it means to live by design and not default!🌿 And join me in thanking today's podcast sponsor, Blissoma Botanical Beauty.

As we move into a fresh new year and set our goals it’s important to take time to reflect on the past year. What went well, what didn’t go well, what lessons we’re grateful to have learned, and what we’re choosing to release and leave in the past year. After this reflection process, we move onto setting goals for the new year that are aspirational and attainable!But this year, what if instead of trying to overhaul everything all at once we choose to make one small change at a time. Let’s focus on one purpose-aligned habit at a time, and once it’s a seamless part of our day we move onto the next habit! Because if we can change one thing to make ourselves 1% better than we were yesterday, that’s a win in my book. And most important of all, that’s sustainable and leads to huge improvements over time!Join me today as we talk about the power of tiny gains, and how those improvements have a huge impact on our goals and habits over the course of a year. So friend, are you ready to lean into small sustainable changes and be 1% better than you were yesterday? ✨ So grab my habit tracker as you work towards these small sustainable habits, because I’m here to support you! ✨🌿 And join me in thanking today's podcast sponsor, Blissoma Botanical Beauty.

We have all done this. It’s a new year with big expectations and intentions and we jump in with ALL resolutions. And then halfway through January we’ve already forgotten what those resolutions were because we tried to do all-the-things at the same time. And the activation energy required to get going again when life inevitably happens is too great, and so we end up quitting…again.That’s why I’m a firm believer in small, doable shifts over time via purpose-aligned habits rather than these giant unsustainable changes. So that’s why today we’re chatting about systems and habits that you can layer into each day which will move you closer to achieving those big goals. Say it with me now, consistency compounds!Join me as we walk through:✨ The 4 top benefits of habit tracking✨ My 3 pronged-approach for sustainable habits✨ The power of habit loops & habit stacking formula✨ And finally the importance of self-reflection and celebration of your goals🥳 Join the habit tracking party and download my FREE Habit Tracker here! 🎉Pop in your ear buds, press play and let's move towards sustainable habits that lead you to loving yourself even more, crafting the life of your dreams, and achieving your goals - together.🌿 And join me in thanking today's podcast sponsor, Blissoma Botanical Beauty.

Today on the podcast, we are looking at the big picture and talking all about holistic health, primary foods, and how to use the principle of crowding out to move away from undesirable habits and towards healthier ones.Crowding out is an approach to habit change that focuses on adding in more of the “good stuff” first, instead of using avoidance behavior as a means towards change. As a result of adding in the desirable habits or behavior, the less desirable or unhealthy habits are literally crowded out - there is no longer time or space for them!ResourcesFull Show NotesSubscribe to Kate’s Weekly Love Letter Join The LBD Collective Continue the Conversation on Instagram @mskatehouse Health Coaching with Kate Schedule Your Discovery CallVoices of ChildrenWhy “Crowding Out” is the Healthiest Way to DietWhat is Holistic HealthPrimary FoodWhat is Holistic Health Care, Anyway?Institute for Integrative Nutrition circle of life exerciseConnect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsiteInstagram---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

If you have been listening to The Live By Design Podcast for any time you know that I LOVE to read, I actually did an entire episode about the value of reading with my 91 year old grandma. I love reading because it provides the opportunity for learning and growth, all from the comfort of your couch!And not too long ago I re-read the book Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. And gosh, I just love this book. The whole thing is underlined and annotated, and I’ve highlighted almost everything because there is so much goodness in this book.There’s one excerpt that really spoke to me, because it’s kind of the ethos for the Live By Design Collective and podcast too. My hope is for you to know that the world needs you and your gifts and your unique abilities.So, if you are ready to trust your goodness, know your enoughness, and make room for joy and ease, then let’s slow down and meditate together.ResourcesFull Show NotesLove Letter Sign-UpJoin The LBD Collective Health Coaching with Kate @mskatehouse Big Magic - Elizabeth GilbertConnect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsiteInstagram---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

“Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.” verywellmind.comIf you have spent any amount of time online then you have probably heard about mindset. Sometimes mindset can feel a little intangible which is why I took a deep dive this month in the LBD Collective into learning what exactly mindset means and why it does actually matter.I like to equate the idea of mindset to going to the doctor’s office for an eye exam. Your doctor puts different lenses in front of your eyes, and you have to say which prescription is best. Each set of lenses may be marginally different, but you have to figure out which one is the best fit. And I feel as if mindset is similar to those lenses. Your mindset is the lens through which you view the world, and you have the ability to shift them until you find the one that best benefits you.In today’s conversation, we’ll talk about the six most studied mindsets paying particular attention to the growth vs fixed mindset, and how these mindsets exist on a continuum. Then we finish with how to move towards a growth mindset, why it matters, and the five different ways to shift your mindset going forward.ResourcesFull Show NotesLove Letter Sign-UpJoin The LBD Collective Health Coaching with Kate @mskatehouse Connect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsiteInstagram---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Today I’m diving into one of my favorite books, Atomic Habits by James Clear! I have a ridiculous amount of takeaways from this book - the whole thing is underlined, dog-eared, and annotated…my grandma (who reveres books!) would be a little aghast at how marked up this book is, but I think it’s just a testament to how much I’ve learned! 😉One of my favorite takeaways from Atomic Habits is the Goldilocks Rule, which tells us that humans experience peak motivation when working on tasks that are right on the edge of our current abilities.

This is the hardest episode I've ever recorded, but it's deeply important to me to show up for you authentically. Usually, that's as the "happiness and joy" podcaster, but I now also need to honor when I'm in a season that's heavy and grief-filled. Because I'm learning that joy and grief are two sides of the same coin, and they're both part of our human experience. So I'm going to hold space within me, and here on the podcast, for both.So it's in David's memory, and to honor all that he taught me, that I record this episode for him, for me, and for you today. I'm still deeply in this season of grief, but there are beautiful things I learned from David that I feel are important to share. Things like embracing the current moment, enjoying the simple pleasures of life, and how we're all capable of sharing love.If after listening, you too want to support David's Memorial Fund at the Naples Zoo, you're welcome to do so at https://www.napleszoo.org/donate with a note that it's "In memory of David Freyhof." With infinite love, I bring this episode to you, friend.---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Earlier this week we connected with Talia Joy of the Awakening Her Podcast, and we shared a conversation all about manifestation, the law of attraction, and what it’s like to experience this world as an empath or as a highly sensitive person.One of my takeaways from our conversations was feeling empowered. Empowered to fully step into myself, and what I might have once seen as a quirk before, I now know is part of me being, and I’m learning to embrace being a highly sensitive person. There’s a freedom in no longer apologizing for what makes you different, and instead celebrating it within myself.And it’s my hope that today’s meditation, which is inspired by an Instagram post I saw from @marcandangel, gives you some of that freedom and permission to love yourself just as you are too.ResourcesFull Show NotesLove LetterLBD Collective Health Coaching Services @mskatehouse Connect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsiteInstagram---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Take Your Goals From “Wish to Done” with Polly Payne of the Dream Planning PodcastHave you ever experienced a moment where you realized that something in your life had to change?Today’s guest, Polly Payne, had what she calls her “yes moment” when she committed to living intentionally and into the calling that was put on her heart. She decided from then on to create a life she wanted to live and to be intentional with how she spent her time.

In light of May being mental health awareness month, I’m excited to sit down and speak with Lynn Jimenez, a licensed clinical social worker, who specializes in mindfulness practices and stress reduction, and is the founder of Connect Flow Grow.For years Lynn experienced anxiety but thought that the tightness in her chest, thumping heart, and racing mind were her baseline setting. It was only when she was diagnosed with anxiety that she realized things could be different...that she didn’t have to feel this way all of the time.Which is when mindfulness practices entered her life in a big way. She started only saying yes to the things that didn’t raise her stress levels, she prioritized her physical outlets like CrossFit and Yoga, spent time outside daily, ate well (think fewer processed foods, more whole foods), meditated, and journaled.And you know what? It helped!So friend, if you too are ready to reduce stress with a clear mindfulness practice, press play and let’s learn from Lynn together.ResourcesShow NotesLove LetterLBD Collective Health Coaching Services @mskatehouse Connect with Lynn JimenezConnect Flow Grow@connectflowgrowLynn’s ResourcesBroken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow” by Elizabeth LesserThe Artist’s Way by Julia CameronWhat Happened to You?: Conversation on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce D PerryThe Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Trauma and Adversity by Nadine Burke Harris, MDThe Lotus by Amirah MorrisConnect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsiteInstagram---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

I have big goals I’m working towards and I really do love being productive, marking things off my to-do list, and making progress.But sometimes I can get so caught up in what the future holds that I forget to “be where my feet are.” Because of that, I have to be extra purposeful in my mindfulness practices so I’m actually here to experience life for myself and with my boys and my husband.I was recently wrestling with feelings of doing and being enough, and then it was like the universe was speaking to me because I kept hearing little whisperings along the lines of, “you are enough.”One of those little nudges was when I read this Instagram post from Laura Jane Jones @laurajaneillustrations, which is all about knowing that you’re doing your best and that your best is enough.So if you’re ready to ditch weighing your self-worth by your productivity and instead desire to honor that you’re doing your best (which is always enough), then I invite you to slow down and meditate with me today.

“Change is uncomfortable. It’s helpful to understand the process we go through emotionally when we are faced with change so we won’t be derailed by it.” - Excerpt from The 12 Week Year -Today we’re diving into the five emotions we all experience when implementing change. They’re what makes up the EMOC (emotional cycle of change), and they go like this:⭐ Uninformed Optimism⭐ Informed Pessimism⭐ The Valley of Despair⭐ Informed Optimism⭐ SuccessThe third experience, known as the Valley of Despair, is our main focus during this mini podcast episode. Because I would argue that if you’re aware that this feeling will occur when making shifts in your own life, then you’ll be more likely to stick with it and see the new habit, skill, or change through to the end.

Have you heard of S.M.A.R.T. goals? Traditionally, this is the approach to goal-setting we’ve been taught. S.M.A.R.T. goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time bound.But what if there were another way to approach goal setting? One that didn’t delay feelings of success for the very end, but one that celebrated who you were becoming in the pursuit of your goals, each and every day?Well that is exactly what my personal business coach Amelia Travis teaches us today when she shares her approach to D.E.E.P. goal setting, which involves goals that are:Desire-basedEmotionally-informedEnergy-alignedPleasureableSo if you’re ready to shift from outcome-based goals to ones that are identity-based, then pop in your earbuds and press play.

“Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.” verywellmind.comIf you have spent any amount of time online then you have probably heard about mindset. Sometimes mindset can feel a little intangible which is why I took a deep dive this month in the LBD Collective into learning what exactly mindset means and why it does actually matter.I like to equate the idea of mindset to going to the doctor’s office for an eye exam. Your doctor puts different lenses in front of your eyes, and you have to say which prescription is best. Each set of lenses may be marginally different, but you have to figure out which one is the best fit. And I feel as if mindset is similar to those lenses. Your mindset is the lens through which you view the world, and you have the ability to shift them until you find the one that best benefits you.In today’s conversation, we’ll talk about the six most studied mindsets paying particular attention to the growth vs fixed mindset, and how these mindsets exist on a continuum. Then we finish with how to move towards a growth mindset, why it matters, and the five different ways to shift your mindset going forward.ResourcesFull Show NotesLove Letter Sign-UpJoin The LBD Collective Health Coaching with Kate @mskatehouse Connect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsiteInstagram---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

“There is something incredibly powerful that happens when you keep showing up for yourself. And you don’t have to do it perfectly (heck no!). Show up, embrace the mess, and honor the process, because there is so much joy that’s found in showing up for yourself.”Friends!! I am so excited for this 100th episode and to celebrate it here with you!Today I’m sharing how I embraced imperfect action when I started the podcast two years ago, how I continue to choose being brave over perfect still today, and how the podcast has kept me committed to my own personal growth journey. Through this journey, I’ve learned to show up, do what feels hard and outside my current comfort zone, and eventually to feel an increased sense of self-worth and self-love that’s cultivated through this process. Milestones like this take time and discipline to achieve, and it’s done one step at a time. And over time, this consistency starts to compound. Today I want to encourage you to show up for yourself, do the thing that’s been on your heart, or set a goal that makes you just a little bit nervous. And remember, friend, keep showing up and keep learning because there is no failure. It’s all a fail-forward and another step in the learning process.So, if you are ready to embrace the very best version of yourself, press play and let’s grow together.Articles referenced:How to be Proud of Yourself (and Why It’s So Important)ResourcesFull Show NotesLove Letter Sign-UpJoin The LBD Collective Health Coaching with Kate @mskatehouse Connect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsite@liz_chapman_podcastmanager---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

I was recently inspired by an Instagram post from Cleo Wade, and I just knew that I had to turn it into a meditation for you. I hope it speaks to you as much as it did to me.Cleo Wade is an American artist, poet, and author, and I find so much inspiration from her because she is one of those people that is encouraging, uplifting, and inspiring and helps you to look inside and connect more deeply with yourself.In a recent Instagram post, Cleo shared a poem titled, “all of it,” about letting go of what no longer serves you - such as complaining or being upset about things outside of your own control. And this gave me pause as I reflected on my own day-to-day life. I’m learning in this journey of life that the first step in change is developing awareness. Awareness of how things show up, how it makes me feel, and how it impacts my day.

Today on the podcast, we are looking at the big picture and talking all about holistic health, primary foods, and how to use the principle of crowding out to move away from undesirable habits and towards healthier ones.Crowding out is an approach to habit change that focuses on adding in more of the “good stuff” first, instead of using avoidance behavior as a means towards change. As a result of adding in the desirable habits or behavior, the less desirable or unhealthy habits are literally crowded out - there is no longer time or space for them!ResourcesFull Show NotesSubscribe to Kate’s Weekly Love Letter Join The LBD Collective Continue the Conversation on Instagram @mskatehouse Health Coaching with Kate Schedule Your Discovery CallVoices of ChildrenWhy “Crowding Out” is the Healthiest Way to DietWhat is Holistic HealthPrimary FoodWhat is Holistic Health Care, Anyway?Institute for Integrative Nutrition circle of life exerciseConnect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsiteInstagram---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

"I love what reading offers us. An opportunity to grow and to learn. A chance to explore and experience another world, one that's different from our own. Or a chance to get to know characters and people who we would've never interacted with in person."I am so honored to be bringing my Grammy Ruth onto the podcast today. Grammy is the most well-read person I know, and she was hugely influential in helping me learn to love reading when I was a child. I have so many fond memories of going to the library and the bookstore with Gram when we spent a month together over summer vacation each year growing up. We would bond over picking out books together, reading on the same couch, and heading back to the library for more!To this day Grammy still reads a book a day! And I am so excited to bring you this conversation about the role reading has played in her life and subsequently the role that it’s played in mine and other family members’ as well, as Grammy’s created a family legacy through her love of reading.And please join me in wishing my Grammy a very Happy 91st birthday this week, and tune into the podcast for this very special conversation!Resources mentioned on the show:Benefits of Reading Books: How it Can Positively Affect Your Life** Please leave your 5 Star review and a few sentences about what your favorite take away from the podcast has been, and if your review is picked as a future Apple Podcast Review of the Week, then your next cup of coffee is on me!ResourcesFull Show NotesSubscribe to Kate’s Weekly Love Letter Join The LBD Collective Continue the Conversation on Instagram @mskatehouse Health Coaching with Kate Schedule Your Discovery CallBenefits of Reading Books: How it Can Positively Affect Your LifeConnect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsiteInstagram---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

In early 2022, I hired my business coach, Amelia Travis, because I committed myself to turn this sweet podcast and my business, The Live By Design Company, into more than a passion project.When I decided to go all in on my business, I knew this decision could change the trajectory of my life and the life of my family (which is equal parts exhilarating and scary!). And I knew that I would need help on the business side in order to grow - so I can have someone to guide me, and focus me, and give me resources so I can continue learning and growing. On the day I signed the paperwork to work with Amelia I made this fun reel! It’s an audio track where it sounds like I’m hyperventilating, but then it turns into this happy dance where I’m celebrating this huge, cool milestone! I’m excited and have those nervous butterflies as I commit to this next step. And on that reel I tagged Amelia and she left me the most beautiful comment. She said she has an affirmation that she tells herself when she feels the way that I did. “I am always an investment, never a gamble. I trust myself to make wise, grounded, clear, expansive decisions for myself and my future.”I think this is so beautiful, and I knew as soon as I read it that I had to do a meditation on it because don’t we all need to be reminded that we’re investments and we’re never a gamble? So friend, if you are ready to get quiet and tap into your inner knowing and intuition, then I invite you to press play as we meditate on going all in and trusting our inner voice.ResourcesFull Show NotesSubscribe to Kate’s Weekly Love Letter Join The LBD Collective Continue the Conversation on Instagram @mskatehouse Health Coaching with Kate Schedule Your Discovery CallConnect with Amelia Travis - Spiritual Business CoachInstagramWebsiteConnect with Liz Chapman - Podcast ManagerWebsiteInstagram---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

But what if you love your body exactly how it is right now and still give yourself permission to work towards longer-term health and wellness goals? And then Amber and I chat about one of my all-time favorite topics - goals! Specifically, how and why to celebrate both the small and big achievements along this journey called life.Are you ready to show up and love yourself exactly as you are?

“Who doesn’t love spreading a little bit of joy and gratitude? And who doesn’t love to be on the receiving end of that too?”You may remember Garciela Moore who was on the podcast earlier this week talking about hope, joy, and gratitude.

“There’s no evidence of false hope. No one is hopeless. There is hope for you.”Today, certified life coach, mindset expert, and joy enthusiast, Graciela Moore, joins me on the podcast. Graciela shares with us how she once noticed a pattern of having to wait for things to unfold in her life, and how this process of waiting made her feel angry or even desperate at times. In time though, she came to realize that in the waiting there’s the opportunity to embrace hope. And it’s been her mission ever since to share this experience of hope, gratitude, and joy with others.Graciela also shares with us what it’s like to be an HSP (highly sensitive person), and that oftentimes HSPs are oftentimes labeled as “too sensitive, too dramatic, or too touchy.” But throughout this conversation, we learn how she’s taken this perceived “weakness” and turned it into an absolute strength. Together, let’s take one step towards hope every day.P.S. Are you wondering if you are a HSP?

Earlier this week I shared a conversation with Personal Freedom Coach, Andrea Tessier, all about how a journaling practice can be powerful, healing, and cathartic. If you missed this conversation you can listen to it here.Andrea shared how she left the teaching industry after she became burnt out and in need of a change. She is now a Personal Freedom Coach who helps women access their most authentic, free lives. As we wrapped up our conversation, I asked Andrea one last question which was, “for anybody who is in the place you were, in that place of burnout, and yearning for personal freedom, what advice do you wish someone had given you when you were just about to make big shifts in your life?”And her response to this question quite literally brought us both to tears because it was so heartfelt, honest, and sincere.Andrea said, “Baby girl, you’re not wrong. You’re not wrong. You are perfect and whole and complete. And you get to know that. And you will know that in this life.”If you are ready to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and know that you are perfect, whole, and complete, then let's meditate together.ResourcesFull Show NotesSubscribe to Kate’s Weekly Love Letter Join The LBD Co.

I am so excited to share my conversation with Personal Freedom Coach, Andrea Tessier, with you today!Andrea shares with us how she transitioned from a career in education (which left her feeling burnt out and tired of living life on someone else’s terms) to finding freedom. She yearned for internal freedom, which she eventually found through taking her own personal journey of turning inwards, diving into self-discovery, and unlearning what she thought she was “supposed” to want, in order to create the life of her dreams.While Andrea was on her journey of cultivating internal freedom, she created her Four Pillars of Personal Freedom - self awareness, self acceptance, self expression, and trust and surrender. Andrea also shared how pivotal journaling has been as an act of self-love, and it’s a powerful tool to express yourself in a safe place.

Emily shares with us how she felt overwhelmed, burnt out, and was using sugar, alcohol, and shopping as a band aid to cover-up how she was actually feeling. She had a desire for change, which ultimately led to her doing Whole 30 with her husband, and that experience started a snowball of transformation in all areas of life - physical, mental, and emotional - that she was not expecting but is so grateful for.Emily dives into habits and how they helped her stay consistent and also what self-care looks like for her…which is more than face masks and bubble baths!

I recently had my first panic attack and I so hope you never have the experience of one…0 out of 10, do not recommend!And while this was a scary and unsettling experience, it’s important to me to share it with you to bring to light our continued conversation of mental health, some of my past experiences with anxiety, and what’s been helping recently. I share this personal experience in the hopes that you know you are not alone, and I see you.In the past when my oldest was born in 2017 I started having intrusive thoughts. Something like, “What if the house caught on fire, what would we do and how would we get out?” And I found that repeating the affirmation, “My baby is happy, healthy and safe,” ten times in a row helped me move past these thoughts. It gave me some distance from the intrusive thought, allowed me to acknowledge it, and then move forward and past it.Now fast forward to 2022 I’ve had my first panic attack. Thanks a lot Omicron!And amidst this turmoil my brain latched on to my affirmation that I used with my kids but my brain turned it around to say, “I am happy, healthy, and safe.” At first I said it really fast, however, with each time I said it I was able to say it just a little bit slower. This affirmation during my panic attack became my life preserver.So, I wanted to share my experience with you because I want you to feel seen. I want you to feel less alone. I want you to know that you are so freaking powerful! And you can take an affirmation to heart that speaks to anxiety or fear, and it can be there for you in a time of need. I don’t have all the answers, and I’m not a trained mental health professional, but it’s on my heart to share this with you in case this episode helps you in some small way.If you have mental health concerns that are impacting your life, especially your ability to go about your day and care for your child or yourself, then I absolutely encourage you too to speak to a medical professional for help.

I’ll teach you how to discover what your ideal morning routine would include as well as tips and tricks to actually make it happen!

The Power of Setting A, B, and C Goals!When it comes to setting your goals do you think of them as all or nothing? What if you release the all-or-nothing, perfectionist thinking and just enjoy the journey?Several years ago I learned about setting A, B, and C goals and I’ll be using this goal setting technique as I prepare for my first postpartum half marathon!So, what do these goals look like? Here’s how I define A, B, and C goals:A Goal - This is the best case scenario! Whatever it is that you set your mind to do is accomplished and you feel fantastic! Heck, you even "beat" your goal and are ecstatic at the results!B Goal - Woohoo! You hit your goal, whatever it may be, and while it wasn't the best case scenario, you still feel accomplished and give yourself a mental high five for working so hard and celebrating the journey each day!C Goal - This should be a level of your goal that you're 90% sure you can accomplish no matter what. And even if you meet this goal, or maybe parts of it, you'll still feel a sense of pride in yourself for having shown up, done the work, and you LOVE how you felt throughout this journey. No matter how things turned out with this specific goal, you're grateful for its pursuit because of how you showed up for yourself in its pursuit. That is a win all of its own!How will you use A, B, and C goals during your day? I’d love to know how you will implement this strategy! I’ve created a free worksheet for you to use when setting your A, B, and C goals and you can find it here! And I’d love for you to come see me over on instagram and continue the conversation and let me know all about your goals!So friends pop in your earbuds and learn how to set those goals!** Please leave your 5 Star review and a few sentences about what your favorite take away from the podcast has been, and if your review is picked as a future Apple Podcast Review of the Week, then your next cup of coffee is on me!ResourcesFull Show Notes Subscribe to Kate’s Weekly Love Letter Join The LBD Co.

Today we are talking about goal setting…but goal setting in a different way! Goal setting is one of my favorite topics, and this year I’ve drastically changed how I will approach setting goals for myself. In the past, I’ve set super specific, measurable goals. And while I still believe there’s a season of life where that approach feels right, coming out of a challenging two years I’m looking forward to adjusting my goal setting technique a bit…for this year at least!I love to choose a word for the year. Last year I chose rooted. I wanted to feel rooted in my community, in my home, and in my relationships. This year the word that has settled on my heart is Ease. What does Ease look like for me this year and how does it play into my goals? Tune in to find out!Will you be choosing a word for this year? How about setting your own goals? I’m also talking on the pod about tangible things you can do on your own as you set your 2022 goals and the practices I personally use to help select your own word for the year. And I would love it when you choose your word that you come see me on Instagram and leave me a comment about your chosen word or better yet send me a DM so we can chat about it!The Free Live By Design Co Habit Tracker is Available!I want to help you succeed in setting and implementing habits, which is why I created The Live By Design Co.

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of speaking with Stacey Shifflett - known as The Fit Stylist - who twenty years ago lost her Dad to suicide.

When you walk through the door to your home, how do you want it to feel when you step inside? Do you want it to be welcoming, comfortable, and cozy like a warm hug? What special pieces do you have in your home that remind you of your loved ones and give you that sense of ease?In today’s special Book Report episode we are talking about The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced Hoo-ga) - Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen.So, what is Hygge exactly? In a nutshell, it is about atmosphere and the experience we create rather than focusing on things. It is humble and slow. It’s choosing rustic over new, simple over posh, and ambience over excitement. I’ve really been taking this idea to heart as I’ve been creating little spaces in our home that reflect our family history or are nostalgic in some shape or form. One fun way this is reflected in our home is a gallery wall that I have set up around my desk space. Each piece, while aesthetically pleasing, has deeper meaning for our family and I feel that I can come into this space and let my guard down, and I can fully be myself and at ease. So grab your favorite drink, or pop in your ear buds and go for a walk, and listen while we talk about Hygge and how it relates to the space we surround ourselves with and the feelings that we get from being surrounded by warmth, love, nostalgia, and so much more!Resources Show Notes | The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking | Join the Newsletter | Live By Design Goal Setting Masterclass | Follow along on Instagram @livebydesignpodcast | Health Coaching with Kate | Schedule Your Discovery Call | Free Meditation Library Health Coaching with Kate: And if you are feeling like health coaching might be the right fit for you, I’d love to schedule a free Discovery Call with you to see if we’d work well in a coaching relationship!

This week we continue our conversation centered on IIN's Circle of Life Exercise and focus on the topic of Education. When I sat down to brainstorm who would be the perfect guest to welcome onto the show for this chat, it dawned on me that my alma mater, Gettysburg College, has a president who - funnily enough - is also a podcast host!Flash to be taking a deep breath, giving myself a little pep talk, and writing a long-winded email to President Iuliano about who I am, what my podcast is all about, and a request for an hour of his time to record a podcast episode together.And he said yes!So let this conversation be a reminder to you, dear friend, that you never know what you can create or bring into being by simply asking and putting yourself "out there." Because if you never put it out there, it's not going to happen. But if you gather your gumption and just try - what might you bring to fruition?And what DID happen was an insightful conversation with Gettysburg College's 15th President, Robert Iuliano, where he shares his four-step approach to living a life of meaning which includes: being open to moments of serendipity, embracing a degree of humility, a willingness to take risks, and finally appreciation for the good in life.So pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee, press play, and let Bob inspire you to live a life that's authentic to you and the unique ways you personally find joy and purpose.Resourcesshow notes | join the newsletter | live by design goal setting masterclass | @livebydesignpodcast | health coaching with kate | schedule your discovery call | free meditation library Health Coaching with Kate: And if you're feeling like health coaching might be the right fit for you, I'd love to schedule a free Discovery Call with you to see if we'd work well in a coaching relationship!

It's funny, but in my experience I've found that running often times is symbolic of life itself. And during my super hot 2-miler yesterday I got to thinking about the importance of shifting your gaze higher in order to gain perspective and the courage to see your goals through to the end.And then the COOLEST thing happened!I kept shifting my gaze higher and higher...and I looked at the sky above and there was a bald eagle soaring above me.Yes. True story. This happened, it was magically, and I want to share the experience with you too. So forgive my post-run-out-of-breath voice, but this was too incredible of a moment to let pass. Press play for a 7 minute listen which I hope leaves you inspired and encouraged to keep showing up for yourself, your life, and your dreams.I believe in you, friend. Keep showing up for your life so you don't miss your own bald eagle moments.Resourcesshow notes | join the newsletter | goal setting masterclass | connect with me @livebydesignpodcast | health coaching with kate---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Cassy Joy is a bestselling cookbook author, the creative force behind the popular food blog Fed + Fit, holistic nutrition consultant, and mama to two littles (soon to be three!) - and she has a wealth of insight to share. It seriously gave me a jolt of inspiration when hearing Cassy Joy speak from the heart!And if you're looking for your next favorite cookbook, look no further than Cook Once Dinner Fix.

Have you ever had that nagging feeling that you needed to make a change? Whether that was in your career, relationship, or - dare I say - your religious institution?This week we wrap up our conversation on Spirituality with Cara Ansis. Cara has a master’s degree in Soul Care and is a certified Spiritual Director who works with women as they enter their own inward journey towards taking better care of themselves.Tune in to hear as Cara shares her own story of spiritual awakening and self-healing - and believe me when I say that she shares with openness, candor, and humor - all while discussing a deeply personal, heartfelt experience. What attracted Kate to Cara (and her business partner Rachael) of @happywholeway is their emphasis on the everyday techniques, rituals, and tools they share which allow others to connect with their own healing abilities and radically transform their own lives.When Kate thinks of those who truly embody what it means to "live by design," Cara is at the top of the list. So sit back, pour a fresh cup of coffee, and allow Cara to pour kindness and inspiration into your heart and soul!Resourcesshow notes | join the newsletter| live by design goal setting masterclass | @livebydesignpodcast Health Coaching with Kate: And if you're feeling like health coaching might be the right fit for you, I'd love to schedule a free Discovery Call with you to see if we'd work well in a coaching relationship!

Listening to Wendy each week leaves me feeling inspired, confident, and energized.

Do you consider yourself to be a spiritual person? As someone raised in an uber-religious school and church, it took me years to tease through those experiences (which, to be totally honest, weren't full of sunshine and unicorns) and after leaving the church learn what a spiritual practice looks and feels like for me outside of religion. In today's episode, I open up (like, way, way up!) about the journey I've gone on and how it's led me to embracing spirituality as an opportunity to connect with something bigger than myself, more often than not by slowing down, being purposeful with my actions, and getting outdoors. This episode was a hard one for me to record, but it's important to me to acknowledge all twelve sections of the Circle of Life exercise which is the basis for our second season of the podcast. So here's me, open, raw, and vulnerable, hoping that my story might make you feel seen and remind you that you're not alone.

Have you ever had an experience that gave you absolute clarity? A "something's gotta change" kind of moment where you knew deep down in your being that you must make a shift?I had one. At 25 I had a quarter-life crisis and drastically changed my life as a result. I'm here right now writing these show notes in large part because of the decisions I made during that time to follow the calling that was on my heart. Today I open up and share what that process looked like (hint: it took a lot of time, dedication, and determination - but it was 100% worth the work!) and how I'm systematically dismantling my tendencies towards perfectionism and instead am choosing to embrace courage and bravery, not perfection at all costs.I also share a mini Book Report focused on Reshma Saujani's Brave Not Perfect, a book that put simply has changed my life. I hope it's as impactful for you to learn about as it was for me to read! Looking for more resources mentioned in today's episode?

Have you ever read a book that took something intangible (such as joy) and the author made it feel approachable and, dare I say, attainable?That's exactly how I felt while reading Ingrid Fetell Lee's “Joyful.” I've always sought to cultivate joy, but Ingrid gave me the framework and vernacular to take my study to the next level. Throughout the book she explores how joy can be purposefully created through measures both big and small, and she equips us with the tools to cultivate joy in our own lives too!In addition to this mini book report, this week I also share how I strike the balance between working towards big, audacious goals while also appreciating each and every day. I delve more into how I do this through flow states, a gratitude practice with my husband, and finally my Start Today Journal practice too!Want to join The Live By Design Goal Setting Masterclass?

Join Kate this week as she dives into the next piece of IIN’s Circle of Life Exercise - Physical Activity. Joyful movement is an integral part of Kate’s life, but that’s taken years of embracing sweating as a means of mental health support and establishing habits that support an active lifestyle to make it part of her daily routine. It can be difficult to add movement to your day when you are already juggling family, work, a social life, you name it...but if you feel stuck or need motivation to adapt an active lifestyle, then this is the episode for you.episode notes | weekly podcast newsletter | circle of life exercise | vision board with kate | @livebydesignpodcast | interested in IIN? | free month of Shiny Happy Yoga | CDC | helpguide.org | download your free 5 mini meditations & guided sleep meditation---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

So, what are these “primary foods” you keep talking about, you ask?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Funnily enough, they’re not what you’d think! The Institute for Integrative Nutrition taught me the value of nourishing yourself with what feeds your heart and soul first, and that when these areas of life are given the care they deserve it’s easier to then focus on your secondary foods (what you actually eat!) and choose to eat what blesses your body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The primary foods are: healthy relationships, regular physical activity, fulfilling career (or “calling” as I interpret it), and spiritual practice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This week I share what small things I do to nurture my four Primary Foods and invite you to explore what that might look like in your own life as well.episode notes | weekly podcast newsletter | circle of life exercise | vision board with kate | @livebydesignpodcast | primary and secondary foods | interested in IIN? | download your free 5 mini meditations & guided sleep meditationPast Episodes Referenced: Our Couples Gratitude Practice That’s Changed Everything | Sarah Weyenberg of Shiny Happy Yoga | What Is A Flow State Anyways?---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

What does “Health” mean to you?For me, it means making myself a priority. It looks like fueling my body with food that blesses it. It looks like meditating, journaling, and moving my body to support my mental and physical health. It looks like reading and being a life-long learner to nurture my soul. It looks like painting and sewing and creating and crafting because it makes my heart sing. It looks like making my personal health and wellness a priority.Because here’s the kicker. If you don’t do it, nobody will.Straight up. Without my health – body, mind, and heart – I’m less able to pursue the passions of my heart and pursue my life’s work. So I actively choose to fill myself up first, so that I can pour love into others after. Do you need to make yourself a priority again? Start right now by giving this episode a listen. And afterwards, I challenge you to do something immediately that fills your cup. Big or small, but do it right away. Making yourself a priority is a daily practice, and it can start right now. You’re worth it. Every single day. You’re worth it.episode notes | weekly podcast newsletter | circle of life exercise | vision board with kate | @livebydesignpodcast | why not now podcast | primary and secondary foods | interested in IIN? | download your free 5 mini meditations & guided sleep meditation---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Inspiration can come in the unlikeliest of places. Like from my favorite love story meets historical fiction mixed with time travel and sexy accents kind of TV show…Outlander.I was recently binging the latest season when these lines spoke to my heart. I was going through a challenging season and feeling a little down, but I found comfort in hearing, “You are alive. You are whole. All is well.”And I thought if I needed reminding of this that you might as well. So this week’s Mini Meditation Episode features these lines, and I hope it speaks to you the same way it did to me. Because we all need a little extra love as we emerge from 2020, so let’s lift one another up and as a community lean into the new year with kindness towards ourselves.In the words of my favorite fictional Scot, "You are alive. You are whole. All is well."episode notes | weekly podcast newsletter | circle of life exercise | vision board with kate | @livebydesignpodcast | download your free 5 mini meditations & guided sleep meditation---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Did 2020 leave you feeling a little bruised? Same. There were some absolutely bright, beautiful moments last year, but it was also one of the most challenging years for me personally to date. Did I come out of the year stronger and more resilient then ever? Hell yes. Am I exhausted from all that growth? You know it.Because of this, I’ve decided in 2021 to go back to basics. I want to build a strong holistic foundation upon which I’ll lean into my good habits, love myself well, and in turn be better prepared to care for and serve others – such as my children, husband, family, friends, my new hometown community, and our growing podcast tribe!So if you too are ready to make yourself a priority (because after all, if you don’t – who will?), then press play to hear what I have lined up for the coming year.

This week's mini meditation episode is inspired by the work of Yung Pueblo. He's a meditator, writer, and speaker, and if you don't already follow him on Instagram I highly recommend it. He recently shared a post titled, "12 Ways I Will Make The Most of 2021," and his insights deeply resonated with me. I hope they encourage and inspire you as well as we enter this new year.episode notes | weekly podcast newsletter | vision board resources | circle of life exercise | @livebydesignpodcast | @yung_pueblo | download your free 5 mini meditations & guided sleep meditation---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

Last week's episode When Enough Was Enough Featuring Jamie Hill was chock full of inspirational goodness, so much so that I didn't want Jamie's advice to her ten-years-ago-self to get lost in a longer episode, so we're breaking it into a separate mini episode! Give a listen if listening to someone dream big will encourage and inspire you to do the same. Because we get just this one life, and the only person who can truly give you permission to call you shot is yourself.I hope Jamie's dream gets you excited to embrace 2021 and all the power you have to manifest dreams for yourself too. It's also a great precursor to my upcoming Special Podcast Series based on The Institute for Integrative Nutrition's Circle of Life Exercise. I plan to use this series in my own personal life to build a strong foundation from which to build in the coming year.

After having her “something’s gotta change” moment, Jamie Hill decided to take control of her life. Now almost two years later, she and her family are approaching financial freedom, they’ve purchased their forever home, and she’s transitioned from a traditional 9-5 to working her own business which she’s grown as a side hustle into a full-time career. Most of all, her hard work in every area of life has given her back the gift of time. Which, in my humble opinion, is the greatest currency we have.I hope this episode gets you excited to embrace 2021!

I am so excited this week to share with you a conversation I had with my cousin Amy Price. Amy is one of the most creative people I know, and today she’s sharing her story of how she came to work on Broadway, the pivots she’s taken since COVID-19 entered the picture (here’s a hint, her thriving Etsy store is the result of a desire to protect the people in her community and grew wildly from there), what creative pursuits she’s currently leaning into, and what to do if you find yourself in a creative rut. Most of all though, through this conversation I learned the importance of being open to new possibilities and that when they’re unfolding around you, you must take action.

Often times I find money is a taboo topic, so let's break down that mental barrier, learn together, and walk confidently in the direction of our dreams. I've learned from personal experience that once you have a financial plan, any stress that was once associated with your finances starts to lift. Even if you're paying off debt, or saving an emergency fund, or working towards another big goal - just having a plan and implementing it day in and out will allow you to release a giant sigh of relief.

Have you ever started reading a book and had the realization that this is the exact book you needed to read? Well, I've been having that exact experience with Jen Sincero's You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life. I've listened to it on Audible many times, but I recently picked up a paperback copy and it's been speaking directly to my heart and soul. Sound dramatic? Maybe. But it's absolutely true.Today's Mini Meditation Episode shares one of my favorite excerpts from You Are a Badass and I hope it inspires you to take, what Jen calls, hell-bent-for-glory action.

Have you ever read a book that fundamentally changed your life?To say that Rachel Hollis has helped me pivot my life in the direction of my dreams would be a vast understatement. She’s inspired and motivated me to be audacious, without seeking approval or permission from anyone else. Just for the sake of it being in my heart and having the desire to see it through. So this week we’re diving into our first of many Book Reports (because, after all, I’m a book nerd at heart), and it’s only fitting to start with the book that’s given me the grit and gumption to call my shot and play all out.Speaking of playing all out, did you know that I now offer a weekly newsletter?

I don't know about you, but I've been feeling anxious lately given the season of life we collectively find ourselves in. When that happens, I find it's best to get still, come back to my breath, and meditate on my mantra, "I am here now." I always feel lighter after using it. I hope you too find it helpful.@livebydesignpodcast | episode notes | health coaching | goal crusher guide | download your free 5 mini meditations & guided sleep meditation---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

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.

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.Let’s continue the conversation!Instagram: @livebydesignpodcastWebsite: mskatehouse.com---Connect with Kate: mskatehouse.com | the live by design blueprint | @mskatehouse | mastermind | courses | speaking | FREE overcoming overwhelm masterclass

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.
