✅I honor all of them because I know they’re necessary to FEEL in order to have growth & be confident in knowing what is right & feels good to me (which are my solutions forward).
❌AND to FEEL what is wrong/resistant/& NOT what I desire. (these are not in alignment for me.)
I think in terms of like what’s the minimum effective dose to NOT go backwards?! What are my Energy forward-giving activities?
If it takes energy from you:
Remove it
Automate it, or
Outsource it
Greatness is found in optimization. THE reason I’m incredibly passionate about living my best, most optimized life. (& to help you find your blueprint & do the same.)
I want an incredible life, not a mediocre life. Why?
I deserve it.

I asked an elderly patient years ago, “What is the most important thing you’ve learned in 81 years?”
And she said somethin I’ll never forget that I also heard on a past podcast,
“One of the most important things I’ve learned is health is the crown on the well person’s head that only the sick person can see & wealth comes in other important forms other than money.”
Ooooof. Who else felt that? 👋
She went on to say, “I wished I had changed my perspectives sooner. Mostly around the perception of being ‘rich’ & that in order to be seen as beautiful I had to be certain size & status.”
She realized she was always chasin a goal like being rich & losing as much weight as possible instead of embracing the experiences of the journey & being grateful for what she already had.
I don’t know about y’all but I love spending time with the elderly. They’re full of magical wisdom. It’s one of the most favorite gems 💎 of my job working in healthcare.
Simply walking & making my bed helped transform my life, lose 55lbs & keep it off.
[It’s not what you think & this is what people don’t tell you.] My healing story here⬇️
When thinking about a #millionairemorningroutine & the routines of the fittest people on earth, it comes down to the reason AND intention behind their actions.
Let’s be real, simply making your bed is not going to help you lose the weight but being a person that LEADS & keeps commitments to themselves, WILL.
70% of leadership is how you lead yourself. There is a difference between leadership & management just like there’s a difference between PREACHING & PRACTICING what you preach.
I intend to be a human that when someone talks about me I would hope that they would say, “She makes me want to be a better person.”
Had plenty of wake up calls where I asked myself a few things:
How are you maintaining positivity in the face of negativity?
How are you setting goals & plans to execute?
How are you staying committed to yourself despite lack of motivation or judgement from others?
🔥People will follow you if you give them a purposeful reason to.
3 kinds of leadership:
1️⃣Physical leadership: Are you healthy & happy & nourished body, mind, & spirit to be strong & serve as a role model to others?
2️⃣Mental leadership: social media brainwashes & continuously puts what you want to see in front of you. What are you clicking on, subjecting yourself to, & what are you consuming?
Find the people you want to embody so you can learn from them & be better. Release the individuals who don’t take you where you want to go.
3️⃣Emotional leadership: The ability to stay balanced & even keeled in the face of negativity.
Know your mission & values. Your mission should be built on the foundation of your values.
“Be who you are & say how you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” Dr. Seuss
5 things I’ve learned in 41 yrs I’ll leave with you in hopes of you learning sooner than I did:
➡️Joy, purpose, fulfillment (JPF) vs fame, fortune, applause (FFA). Which would you choose? I choose JPF because if you choose JPF the FFA will follow.
➡️Forms of wealth: self mastery, self awareness, family, health, your craft, personal development, money, time, freedom, charity, adventure, your circle of genius & environment
➡️Don’t lower your standards or standard of living to meet your income, live strategically within your means to raise your income & standards of living to meet your standards.
➡️You are always replaceable within a company. Don’t live for them &/or make them your identity. YOU make money for them. YOU are the gem & YOU create your own abundance. Take YOUR GIFTS with you & have the confidence to creat the life of YOUR DREAMS.
“To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die.” – Thomas Campbell.
Our days are numbered, what are you gonna leave behind?
Abs…a pretty picture…a pretty/handsome face…money in the bank…titles…OR…
…👉the memories of your dream life well & wisely lived?
Reminders for today ✨
You don’t owe anyone anything:
Your healing. Your process. Your happiness. Your peace. Those all belong to you.
Affirm this today ✨
I welcome the harvest with wide arms & with an unfastened heart! ❤️🫶🌽🥩🙏🤲🧎♀️
Mantra for today:
Abundance is all around me.
Abundance & Attractiveness are energies.
Abundance, Inner peace & Fulfillment are states of being.
Abundance & Reality are an existence I create.
Abundance is a gift from the Universe. I unlock the door & my vibration is the key 🔑 🪄🚪
Abundance shows up as money & in many other ways.
I AM grateful for the continual stream of Abundance flowing into my life.

A friend asked how they could pray for me this morning…. I’m not asked that often…
…to be (grossly) honest & raw with myself (yuck. I don’t like triggered feelings either, I’m just like you)I feel it’s an uncomfortable, icky/weird trigger for me?! 🤔🧐 — Not in an ashamed shade, or ego shade, but in a realization that as well & fucking awesome as I have done healing myself & loving myself completely, I feel I have done it to the point I still have resistance to letting people love & take care of me because I know I can now take care of myself in my whole entirety. 👀
Just because you’ve healed doesn’t mean you’re perfect.
There’s SO much depth to the phrase, “progress not perfection.”
It’s not just a picture of your “stereotypical influencer” posing in front of a mirror. (Because when you hear that phrase, I feel most of us, especially in the nutrition & fitness space, that’s what we picture.)
I still have blocks around trusting people, both men & women. Although I alwayssee the good in all things, I’ve placed a protective layer of sparkly, delicate, beautiful LACEY shield of guardedness around myself.
Vulnerable personal goals I am working on is to allow more LOVE❤️ in (In whatever aligned color/form I need. I trust God & the Universe knows what’s best for me)
To all my other peoples out here that are curious/betterment seeking/wisdom seeking/& a human/spirit that still struggles…take what you need, leave the rest🫶
Thank you to my friend that touched my heart & sparked the inspiration behind this message for me & y’all out there. In that moment I realized, “Katie, you give to so many people, do you let your guard down to allow other people to love & take care of you?
Gut check moment✔️
My response to my friend (& you can use this too)…
“Pray I have the strength & the love in my heart to be open to make people’s lives better, to take care of myself (and others) as appropriate. To follow my highest alignment, love, & compassion consciously & confidently to live my true story.”
Oftentimes it takes a gut check moment to turn up the thermostat in yourself to rise like a phoenix 🦅 🔥❤️🔥 to transform your identity in the most ferociously, fierce, nourishing, delicious way possible 😉
We turn up the thermostat to transformation via Faith. Intention. & Association.
FAITH: in whatever you believe & in yourself.
INTENTION: with your thoughts, behaviors, decisions, & habits.
ASSOCIATION: in your environment, everything you consume, the people, places, things & habits you surround yourself with.

These are my favorite sparkly PJ pants. They came from @target Little girls size 14. They are not “flattering” at all & I could give a shit less. A former version of me would not wear these because I didn’t look “skinny” in them.
I prefer this me, this 41 year old, weird as shit version of me probably more than any other version of me. (And I’ve been a lot of versions of me! 👀)
I’ve been a competitive CrossFit athlete, runner, cardio queen, jacked, fat, skinny fat, partnered, single, married, divorced twice, with men, with women, confused af, broke af, happy af, lost af, fuggn you name it.
If you scroll my feed & peep highlights I’ve been all shapes & sizes & everything in between. (𝙼𝚢𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐/𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎/𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚜 𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚢 𝙸𝙶 𝚋𝚒𝚘) link below 👇
I now embrace an intuitive, vibrationally lead life. And I wish this for all of you too. I wish you healing, happiness, & love. #vibrationalliving #vibrationaleating
Enjoy my thoughts from this morning. I hope they lead you where you’re meant to be.
Take what you need, leave the rest.
Love yourself.
Be kind
Don’t be a dick.
【 🤷♀️Life is really that simple.】
Book suggestion👉Please read 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬…changed my life. short read. I live by these 4 agreements & my own personal creed which I share in IG stories.
Vibrational Living.
What is it, how it helped me attract love & money, heal my gut, lose fat/weight, & continuously/effortlessly create & live my dream life.
Let’s get real here (y’all know if you’ve followed me for a while that’s how we roll)…👉I used to be a sick, overweight, unhappy, lonely, broke bitch. 🤷♀️It is what it is.
We don’t filter around here because real life isn’t filtered. It’s dirty, it’s beautiful, it’s pain, it’s pleasure & every shade of 50 shades of fucked up AND amazingness & everything in between. ☀️☔️ 🌈 🎨🌱🌹🥀
Life:
It’s death. It’s rebirth. Its peaks. Its valleys. It’s sunshine. It’s rain. The only thing that is guaranteed is that things are going to change.
I’ve lost 55lbs of weight, self-loathing, scarcity energy, + a bunch of fucks I did not need to give as a younger version of myself. I fully believe releasing that anxiety & emotional weight was actually what helped me open my chakras & release the physical weight.
I like to stay away from labels & allow myself + others to have the freedom to eat & live & love as they choose. I called this vibrational living. I eat this way & workout this way. I love this way. I invest my money this way. I dress this way👉 I do everything this way.
This is what my MO means when I say “I don’t do rules I do what feels right.”
Straight up, Here’s what’s making you fat, sick, sad, anxiety stricken, broke, unfulfilled, & lonely:(I did all these things too. But I chose to make a decision & stick to my commitments to change & co-create a better me & the life of MY dreams)
Thoughts about feeling MIS🚫aligned in Vibration📴Anxiety is NOT your problem. Anxiety & triggers are just trying to get your ATTENTION.
WHY you feel anxiety, depression, unfulfillment, self loathing, sadness, loneliness, &/or WHY you binge eat, over spend, people please, over work, sleep around, drink, smoke, self sabotage, etc…
…you don’t feel safe, seen, heard, understood, accepted in your life/body/relationship/job/whatevs you wanna out here. You lack purpose & are confused af. You’ve lost yourself. You don’t trust yourself &/or other people.
Self sabotage is addictive. It can be like a dopamine hit. Anxieties & triggers are your smoke detector in your kitchen.
Identify self sabotaging behaviors. Your body would be FAILING you if you didn’t recognize you were lonely, sick, unhappy & all the other feels too.
Start the change by by SHOWING up. Shift & become your own safe house. Then you can be one for others. 🏡 💕
🤘Go first & just be weird.
You need communication AND connection. You can have one without the other which leads to imbalance. Stop the ‘shame spiral’.
Steps to building a non-anxious, vibrationally aligned life:
#1 – Choose YOUR TRUTH & reality.
#2 – Choose true connection with yourself & others.
#3 – Choose freedom & joy in every sense of the words!
#4 – Choose mindfulness, nourishment, kindness, inner peace, belief, self love, optimism, goodness in all.
A question that changes it all: What do I need right now? Now pause. Breathe. And answer from your heart & your gut.
Love you. Mean it. 🫶

You’re alive right now or you wouldn’t be reading this😊 BUT…what proof do you have that you’re really living? Don’t overthink the question.
“Often a very old man has no other proof of his long life than his age.” Seneca.
Meaning👉they’ve chronologically aged, but spent little “living.”

💎🤑💍👑👢🤠👠Denim & diamonds, baby. That’s me. Take it or leave it. Carrie Underwood, you my sis.
I remember social media being joyous back in the day. We could connect with friends & family as we chronologically posted content important to us. We could post whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, as often as we wanted.
Somehow it’s evolved to this pressure that whatever you share has to be “good enough” & professionally well polished. It’s normal nowadays to spend hours creating something people scroll by.
Maybe self-inflicted🤷♀️ Had this thought, figured I wasn’t the only one. I quit concerning myself with us, and simply share what’s on my heart and my mind because I know I’m not alone out here in my feelings/struggles/joys/emotions.
Maybe Cosmic chaos. Don’t fear🚫 Chaos leads to order as you navigate thru it…smooth like butter. I believe in you👏🏼🏆 (& in me)
However you feel about yourself👉that’s how people see you. You truly have to #betheenergyyouwishtoattract
This is why focusing on health brings you everything you desire as far as body (& LIFE) change.
How you feel about yourself reflects your reality outside. Everything else in your life will start happening beautifully FOR you when you start feeling better about yourself. I remind myself inner peace out or peas, enter chaos, outer chaos.
This concept is exactly why I coach clients holistically because it’s all connected body mind & spirit. You’re free to believe, eat, live, live however you want. I honor you no matter what, & from the bottom of my heart I hope y’all find your solutions.
You’re all too wonderful & beautiful to waste this precious life not loving yourself & living your life to its fullest.
Highly recommend, listening, or picking up the book, Infinite Possibilities by Mike Dooley. I refer to this audible book often. He puts me in a high vibe, makes things easy to understand, & transforms you into a hopeful, joyous, enthusiastic, empowered state.
Script your Dream Reality!
Pinterest board. Vision board. Journal. Scrapbook. Whatever you want. Add images, quotes, pictures of happy smiling faces, healthy bodies, whatever you wish to feel & embody to be your highest self.
I start new ones whenever I feel like I’ve turned a chapter or a season. I give thanks for my previous board & invite whatever is meant for me in my highest alignment & love for my next one.
Then I smile & let my thoughts, my feelings, my desires, flow like water & wash over me. I feel into my abundance, my health, & the happiest, most joyous, wealthy version of myself. My most fulfilled self. Those are the images I fill my boards with.
All you have to do is focus on what you want & allow the universe to work out the how, the who, the where, the when, & what form.
Remember, YOU ARE ALIVE right now or you wouldn’t be reading this😊 BUT…what proof do you have that you’re really living THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS?

Today’s Message & Ponderings: Breaking cycles, color therapy, attracting health/abundance/love by the way you dress (present yourself), current obsessions, what I’m most proud of & life realizations
🗣️On breaking a cycles👉channeled message…
Themes for October: clearing out the cobwebs & RE LAUNCH!
A “LFG”. A wake up to what has been dormant inside of you. A reboot, a transformation, an innovation. A time to go for what is right in front of you. It’s not out of reach anymore, It’s here. This eclipse portal is going to provide you with so much insight, wisdom & understanding (even if you feel like you don’t have the whole direction. Join the club. I feel you.)
What areas have you not been developing or harnessing at full potential?
What weakness do you need to work on?
Take fitness for example. Are you not working out intentionally at the gym? Are you there but not fully committed & doing what you need to be doing with your workouts?
Are you wanting to make changes in your diet, but not fully committed to that? Are you “shoulding” all over yourself?
Don’t be angry if you’re not getting the results you want because you’re not putting in the work or resting when you should be resting.
Are you struggling in your relationships but not taking the time to efficiently communicate with your partner or friends or family?
It’s ok. It takes time to develop & bloom. The valleys allow you to feel where you don’t wanna be to give you the energy to ascend up the mountain to a better destination, your “peak.” 🏔️🌋🌄
There are no finish lines only the journey & the experiences along the way.
The eclipses in October will give you the energy to uncover what needs to change.
Love yourself along the way. Self observation/critiquing doesn’t have to be mean or hard or harsh. It just is.
In the current world today we’re so disconnected from our bodies & our minds. We let distractions of the outer world muddy the waters.
Spend time in nature, spend time alone, spend time in quiet, disconnect from social media. Unfollow accounts. Read a book. Connect with strangers, actually talk to people & get your nose out of your phone.
Something my mom told me a long time ago, stop, living your life through your phone. And that changed everything for me.
You’re back, but you’re different.
You’re always a different version of yourself. So it’s OK if you repeat cycles, just observe the energy around the cycles & why they’re happening.
Maybe you’re meant to go through those cycles again as a different version of yourself. It’s time to step out of your chrysalis.
This is the time around the holidays that people start putting themselves & health (as well as finances) second.
They start feeding the fiend instead of the friend, especially when it comes to overindulgence with the food & spending.
Thinking of food with this perspective helped me heal my bulimia & binge eating, addiction to exercise, & orthorexia.
You want to feed the friend not feed the fiend. Your body is a machine. It loves you. It keeps you alive. Food is your friend that loves you & keeps you alive. Keep the nourishing things close to you & get rid of the rest.
Feeding the friend = self loving exercise, nourishing food, portion control & mindful eating, fueling your body & eating for FUEL, positive self talk & inner chatter, surrounding yourself with a positive growth invoking environment, sleep, self care, nature, deeper community connections, personal development, avoiding trigger foods/people/places/habits, saying NO when you don’t want/need something without feeling you have to explain, resting.
Color therapy is a huge tool in my life to increase my frequency, give me energy, more happiness, attract more abundance, more love, better health, and enable myself to be the person that I want to be. I don’t consider myself materialistic, but an aficionado of creative expression. My wardrobe is a HUGE part of who I am, how I feel, & express myself. I dress accordingly. It is true what they say, how you present yourself not only dictates the way you present yourself, how you feel about yourself, AND the way that others treat you as well.
Personal ponderings
Fuchsia, Gold, & magenta are my favorite colors the majority of the time. (Fyi: Fuchsia is usually a more pinkish-purplish color, whereas magenta is more reddish. Nerd alert 🤓🚨🙋♀️)
I find I am typically drawn to bold, bright colors & neutrals.
I don’t typically like dark colors or black. I used to wear a lot of black when I was younger. I’m aware now this was because I wanted to hide, I didn’t feel good about myself, & I thought I looked skinnier in black, which came from a scarcity self loathing mindset.
I find I get the most compliments when I dress in: Sparkles, Blue, Red, & Pinks
Our aura colors change based upon how we feel. I’ve always been in tune to this about myself. Even with other people, I can feel their vibrations & energy. I wear m headphones a lot when I go to the store & when I’m at the gym because I’m so sensitive & it helps me simply focus on myself more.
It’s “weird” but I can sense what’s going on in someone’s life, their emotional state, even see & hear their thoughts sometimes. I thought I was making the shit up when I was younger but now I realize this is one of my biggest gifts (and also a bit of a curse.)
I have to wear my headphones OFTEN & make sure I stay consciously present in my own body & mind & spend a LOT of time alone (which people interpret as me being antisocial, stuck up, etc. which isn’t the case at all.) I do it so that I can love others & serve others at my fullest. I have to serve myself first because of this.
I have to ground often (time in nature & solitude) I have practices in place to energetically & physically cleanse what is not mine everyday. (Infrared sauna therapy, red light therapy, colonic enemas, nature, workouts, meditations)
🧿🧠Personal observations at this snap shot in storybook time
Proud of myself for being unattached to things, people & places. (For you👉Research stoicism. That’s your homework if you’re not familiar 😉) Unattachment has taken a long time to develop & embrace. I finally released fear + labels & truly embodied & embraced my authentic story + everything that makes me (not what I think I need to be for other people).
Truly enjoy conversation & deeper connections with people. Anyone from coworkers to strangers, to patients, to my family & friends. Quality over quantity. These give me energy with the right people.
Such Gratitude for the special friends in my life. They mean much to me. The ones that don’t make me feel guilty for not keeping in constant contact, but always making me feel loved & supported no matter how much or little we talk or physically see each other.
Super proud of myself for loving my body & health, food & workouts & everything that I am enough to not feel the need to chase body goals or change myself anymore. No more self judgment from a criticism standpoint, but an appreciation & observation standpoint.
Super proud of myself for being able to stay present and savor the things I truly enjoy and consider decadent. Especially with carbs, spending, & alcohol. They no longer control me. I no longer use them as numbing mechanisms but something I use for enjoyment. I no longer drink to get drunk, but to savor what I desire in the moment in self loving moderation. Same with safe carbs & spending (I now say investing &/or gifting the Universe).
I no longer feel guilty for spending money like I used to. I tell myself now when I spend I’m gifting the Universe & the people I invest in.
If I know I made an ego or impulse buy, I return it & say thank you for however it served me. Amazon is my best friend, easy returns! If I buy something, I also make myself release/give away something. I don’t like clutter, I like a clear, organized fresh space.
I purge my space weekly. Anything that feels heavy or hordes old energy I now am unattached to & get rid of.
As far as career & fulfillment, I realized it doesn’t matter what job I’m doing or task I’m doing, I simply like doing things, learning, being productive, connecting with people, taking care of people & as long as I’m satisfied in what I’m doing, everything will be amazing. I love being physical & mobile & moving energy.
I don’t have to have a particular job to be worthy or successful or important, I just have to do what lights me up, be kind, & mostly importantly, leave myself & other peoples’ lives better than before they met me.
I realize no matter what I do & put out into this world. My purpose is to make people feel something.🥰
I realize I have the absolute perfect professions for me as a radiologist technologist (which I used to doubt in the past). I literally see people’s’ inner beauty & this matches up perfectly with my medium gifts + being a nutritionist. I finally feel I am on my divine path without the need to question everything.
