Can facing personal health challenges transform your understanding of self-love and resilience? Join me as I reflect on the emotional rollercoaster of Season 4 of Infinite Love on the Go with Kate. From wrapping up a jam-packed school year to navigating the vibrant, diverse cultures of Asia, the journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. As I gear up for a critical medical procedure—a hysterectomy to combat those pesky "gremlins" known as uterine fibroids—I candidly discuss the physical and emotional toll they've taken. This episode is a tribute to the unwavering support of my listeners, followers, and amazing coworkers who have been my rock throughout this journey.
In this closing chapter, I delve into the transformative power of embracing change and the importance of self-care. As I share my personal experiences of overcoming life’s hurdles, I emphasize that sometimes, setbacks and losses pave the way for new opportunities and growth. By loving ourselves unconditionally and learning from our adversities, we can emerge stronger and more resilient. Join me in celebrating community, resilience, and the incredible journey of self-discovery. Here's to new beginnings and endless possibilities. Thank you for being a part of this beautiful season and for your incredible support and love.

I cannot believe 16 weeks havegone by and here I am finishing
up, wrapping up, really, season4 of Infinite Love on the Go
with Kate.
What a journey.
It's been filled with extremegratitude, started off kind of
(00:25):
trying to finish up the schoolyear, then kept pushing through
and enjoyed a very quick butadventurous summer, traveling
abroad to asia for a coupleweeks, taking you guys with me
on the road throughout thisentire season, whether it was
out of state, out of the country, on nature, hikes at the lake,
(00:48):
at a friend's house, or I'veactually hosted friends here.
You guys have been with me thisentire season and I truly,
truly appreciate it.
Many, many highs, some lows,but nothing that I can't bounce
back from.
And ending the season on aperfect note, taking care of my
health, as this episode airsthis week, which will be my
(01:13):
final week of work until I'm offfor a month, because I have a
hysterectomy coming up, so Ihave to put all my energy into
taking care of me, my body.
So here I am, finishing up lastepisode with all of you and I
am filled with gratitude.
So, first and foremost, I wantto say thank you.
(01:34):
Thank you to all that havelistened to, all that are brand
new to my show, thank you to allof my followers who keep coming
back and listening and enduringmy beautiful voice.
God help your soul.
Thank you to all who have givenme insight, have sent me
(01:55):
messages, supported me along theway.
I truly, truly appreciate it.
This has been probably one ofmy favorite seasons so far, and
it's not because of anythingradical.
Rather, it's been more ofsomething comfortable within me,
finding my footing, myplacement, and feeling really
(02:17):
comfortable with growth withinand around and utilizing this
growth and exploring, exploringthis growth and then projecting
this growth outwardly.
Well, you all listen and hopingthat you guys take these
conversations with you, whetherfor yourself, for your family,
for your loved ones.
Either way, thank you, thankyou.
(02:39):
Thank you for being a safespace for listening with, with
love, because that energy isreal and I felt it and I'll
continue to feel it, even on mybreak.
And who knows what season fivewill bring me.
That's the exciting part theunknown, yet knowing and having
all my faith in the universe.
(03:00):
So let's get this show on theroad.
Really, there is no show.
There is no road.
It's me on the couch today.
As I said, I'm about to havesurgery in almost a week and
this body has been through itespecially the past couple
months, and I'm looking the partmore and more every single day
(03:22):
and it's wild.
I wish you could see me becausemaybe I'll post a picture on my
audio in Buzzsprout.
Who knows, if you want to know,you can go there and see it.
But my co-workers this is ahuge shout out to my co-workers
who have been absolutely amazing.
They have been so supportiveand they've laughed with me.
(03:47):
So supportive and they'velaughed with me.
They've embraced my crazinessas I honestly flow with it,
because I look the part.
When I say I look the part ofpregnancy, I do.
I call it my baby gremlin.
But I was telling them.
I just completed my biopsies,had my mammogram this past
weekend, did my blood work.
Everything came out all good,no cancer.
(04:08):
I'm good, I'm ready, I'mliterally ready to birth.
These four little uterinefibroids and they're not even
little, but these four uterinefibroids, gremlins.
I've been calling them gremlins.
I want them out of me.
I pretty much talk to my bellyevery single day and there's no
hiding it.
I thought I could do so good,but we're about to have a heat
wave and I can't wear hoodies orsweatpants this week period, so
(04:32):
t-shirts and shorts and I weartypically medium shirts and I'm
just, I'm large and in chargeand I'm embracing my body, I'm
embracing my belly, I, I'mplaying the part.
My body really is playing thepart.
It feels it, it looks it, it'sgoing through all of the phases
(04:52):
of pregnancy and my doctor evensaid I'm mirroring it.
My body really thinks I'mpregnant and it's wild to me.
It's wild how a woman's bodyworks, or just the body in
general, and it's really wildhow the universe is working with
me and for me.
And as I'm finishing up thelast week week, trying to make
the most of it but also tryingto prepare for my sub, making
(05:14):
sure I have everything lined upfor her, it's exhausting but
it's keeping me preoccupied andit's not to say that I'm beyond
anxiety ridden.
I will probably feel thosefeelings more closer to the
weekend and I know I'm allowedit and I'm going to be okay with
it, but it has been a whirlwindof a ride.
(05:36):
And the fact that my coworkersand my students I don't even
think my students even notice atthis point anymore.
They embrace me.
But my coworkers just embraceme every single day as I'm goofy
and I'm trying to waddle in, orI'm literally resting my hands
on my belly, or I'm resting amug, or I'm just indulging in
(05:59):
every food I can, because, let'sface it, I mean I'm still going
to enjoy the goodness of foodswhile it lasts, because after
this bad boy is out of me, I amback at it.
I am back to what I was doingprior to all of this, the big
bang theory, this popping of mystomach like a turkey in the
(06:21):
oven you just hear the timer gooff.
That's how my belly feels andlooks.
So I'm ready to get back outthere, working out, running,
feeling so aligned within aroundall of it.
I'm looking forward to beingable to breathe and not feel
like something is sitting on myinsides.
But again, a huge shout out tomy coworkers because today we
(06:45):
were taking.
Now bear with me.
I have these beautiful angelfairy wings in my office.
I wore them for Halloween lastyear with the kids and I kept
them.
I was like you know what?
These are gonna stay here, justin case I ever want to put them
on.
And, you know, prance aroundand I have the tendency to do so
because that is just me, in myenergy, in my humor.
(07:09):
So one of my co-workers nearand dear, and my other co-worker
had a camera.
She's like, oh my god, let's doum, do you know those absurd,
absurd, like I want to say.
They're like the 1980s, 19,early 90s photo, pregnancy photo
shoots.
Yeah, so we busted out some ofthose.
So she held my belly, but ofcourse I had to go get my fairy
(07:32):
wings and we had our ownhumorous pregnancy photo shoot.
Oh my God, I mean, if you couldbe a fly on the wall, this
would be the time.
I'd desire you to be a fly onthe wall Because the poses, the
laughter, and you know what'seven funnier is, when I laugh,
all of my muscles, my stomachmuscles, everything shakes at
(07:53):
once.
It is the weirdest feeling, butit makes me laugh more because
everything just shifts up anddown, up and down.
I'm going to make myself laugh.
So I just I'm cracking up doingthis.
They're cracking up.
It's all in good nature, it's.
It is what it is.
So I have to accept it, but Iaccept it with beautiful love
(08:15):
and grace because it has allowedme to feel the joys of
pregnancy, I know, but I don'thave the beautiful baby that
comes with it.
But there's more to it thanjust that and you'd have to
really know my story and my loveand desire for wanting kids
from such a young, in early age.
(08:36):
But it was also the desire tofeel pregnant.
So to get all this, to have allthis experience, I truly believe
, and then to have everythingremoved and feel aligned because
I really do believe it's thingsget taken away from you to make
space for what's to come foryou.
So I am looking forward towhatever is to come for me.
(08:58):
Sometimes the bad, you know,has to come.
It has to shift you out of yourperspective for the good to
come through and I'm open tothat.
I'm open to receiving that andI'm honored and blessed to
receive it.
So some may think of this asbad and it may have been a
setback here and there, but onceI allowed myself to just
embrace and to love who I am.
(09:21):
That's the whole point of thisjourney, right?
Self-love is you're given thesetests to really go deep within
and embrace all of you, love allof you, and I have.
I found that within me and evenin the most challenging times.
I've loved all of me and willcontinue to do so, and I love
that I get to share that lovewith everyone around me and I
(09:45):
hope they really feel it and seeit.
And a thought you can ask anddesire for is that self-love to
just continue and spread likewildfire For all to choose and
love themselves For who they are, for what they have.
So that's it.
This is my grand finale ofseason four and I choose
(10:08):
self-love, I choose life, Ichoose living, I let go of fear
and I look forward to what's tocome, without holding any
expectations.
So watch out Season 5.
You'll be here before you knowit.
And to all my fans, to all mybeautiful, beautiful, beautiful
listeners, thank you, thank you,thank you, thank you.
(10:30):
I love you.
Stay blessed and take care ofyou, because you, you're worthy.
