In this episode of the Coaching Business Spotlight Show, Kat continues her fall “Harvest Series” with a heartfelt exploration of what it really means to prepare for, believe in, and step into your harvest season. Drawing from her early years in the fruit business, Kat shares how investing time, money, and faith before the payoff shaped her understanding of business growth. She shows how the lessons of planting, nurturing, and waiting for fruit apply directly to building a coaching business.

Kat also introduces the transformative practice of “acting as if”—aligning mindset and actions with the belief that success is on its way. Through personal stories of overcoming fear, seizing opportunities, and being ready when harvest moments arrive, Kat guides coaches to embrace visioning, belief, and boldness in their business journey. Whether you’re waiting for clients, contracts, or opportunities, this episode will help you recognize and prepare for your own harvest time.
