Listeners are guided through the reflective process of examining what’s working, what’s not, and what treasures may be hiding in plain sight in their coaching business. With warmth, humor, and wisdom, Kat encourages coaches to pause, reflect, and realign with the strategies and activities that truly light them up—and generate results. Whether you're just starting out or working toward sustainable success, this episode offers a soulful structure to spark real change.
