Hello, hello, welcome back toanother episode of she Is
(00:42):
Redefined.
Okay, I got to be honest withyou.
I'm recording this on the snowday that we had in Texas, which
was so, it's been so fun, butit's also quickly turned into
cabin fever.
Oh, dear Lord, I've been lovingit.
It's like fun, like a switch up.
The boys love it, but I don'thave like snow gear.
We've never taken the boys tothe snow and we don't have like
(01:06):
gear like face covers, likeactual water repelling clothes,
like other than a rain jacket.
I do have like a snow jacketfor them, but not pants, and I
don't even have the right shoes.
They've got rain boots or liketheir little, like Uggs.
I'm like, okay, this isdifficult.
So they're so excited to gooutside.
We go outside and in like ananosecond their cheeks are
freezing, their noses arerunning, decker hates it and
(01:28):
Slate's like I love this, butI'm cold.
So then we go inside and allthey want to do is go outside,
but we can't because all theirstuff is soaked from trying to
build a snowman and they don'teven have gloves to hold the
snow.
It's just.
Are you hearing the shit showin my voice?
That has been today.
And then, like they're goingcrazy, like feral inside here.
I'm like what gives?
(01:48):
Oh, and as if things couldn'tget more like anxious, like like
my nervous system is all overthe place because the kids are
acting like feral psychos is.
I'm like, oh, here's an idea.
Here's an idea.
Let me get some food coloringand we can color snowballs.
They ate that shit up.
But guess what?
Yo girl over here had no idea.
Some food coloring and we cancolor snowballs.
They ate that shit up.
But guess what?
Yo girl over here had no ideathat food coloring stains things
(02:10):
, including concrete.
That's actually the biggestthing.
So our brand new patio thatcame with our new house is
stained and my husband not veryhappy about that one.
So, don't worry, I literallyhave some baking soda paste
sitting on that out there on thepatio hoping that shit works
because it's ugly.
(02:30):
It's ugly, but actually in howI showed up in my life and I do
show up in my life, startingfrom the second I wake up.
So here's the question thatshifted it all what would it
(02:53):
feel like to wake up every dayfeeling like a million bucks?
How would I feel?
How would a million dollarsfeel?
That is the question.
Basically, it's like you know,the same thing worded
differently.
This is not about thinkingabout a million dollars, not
chasing a million dollars, butactually feeling like the
version of me who already had itall the freedom, success, ease
(03:15):
and overflow.
And let me tell you, when Ifinally leaned into this idea,
literally everything changed.
But obviously before this therewas a version of me who never
even thought about asking myselfthis question.
So let's take you back to thatlittle version of me that didn't
feel like a million bucks andhonestly woke up all the time,
stressed, and maybe you canrelate to that.
(03:36):
But I was hustling my littlebooty off.
Like I'm talking, reallyhustling, pushing myself to the
edge to get more clients,focusing on trends for more
visibility, trying to get theturn and burn sales hit bigger
goals, brag about it, prove tomyself and everyone else that I
was worthy of success.
Like blah blah blah, blah, blahblah Sound familiar but,
honestly, for me that feltincredibly heavy and that's when
(03:58):
my business actually took off,when I decided to give up that
path, give up that way of doingthings off.
When I decided to give up thatpath, give up that way of doing
things when I was hustling.
Every morning I literally wokeup thinking about work, thinking
about money.
I was stressed.
Before my feet even hit thefloor, hand to God, my to-do
list felt endless.
I felt like I had no time.
(04:18):
I felt like I was just runningaround, rushing through
everything on a hamster wheel,going nowhere fast.
And the worst part is, this ishow I thought this was supposed
to be.
This is what I thought buildinga business and and trying to
you know, retire your husband.
I just thought this was likerun of the mill.
This is how this works, whilealso trying to keep my sanity
(04:40):
from watching people on socialmedia who were like blowing it
up right and and I'm alwaystelling my clients blinders up,
girl, you're in your path.
So I was always been good atthat, but I was just like I just
have to do more in order to getthere.
But one day finally happened andthis was in lovely July where
something shifted.
And I remember sitting therestaring at my endless to do list
(05:01):
, my endless tasks, feelingcompletely drained and burnt the
fuck out, and I thought this isbullshit.
Like this cannot be it.
This can't be what successfeels like.
This is not sustainable.
And so I asked myself adifferent question at that point
, when I surrendered.
I'm like what would it feellike to actually just enjoy life
(05:23):
?
What would it feel like toenjoy my business?
What would it feel like tounderstand and know that my
business is I'm building it now,but I'm always going to be
building it?
Like what is this runway whereall of a sudden, something's
going to take off?
And I'm going to kick my feetup, like, what reality is that?
So how would it feel to wake upevery day feeling on top of the
(05:44):
world, to feel like a millionbucks?
And those questions changedeverything.
Everything, I realized.
I've been chasing the outcome,the clients, the visibility, the
money, the milestones, the bankaccount statements.
But I hadn't been being theversion of me who already had it
, who was on the chill expresstrain, chill rocket ship, going
(06:09):
to her goals, but in the chillway, enjoying every step.
So I decided to experiment.
I stopped focusing so much onwhat I needed to do and I
started focusing on how I wantedto feel.
This is when I took upshuffling, planting plants, more
walks, focusing on where myfeet are.
Like have my brain be where myfeet are?
(06:30):
I started asking myself whatmakes me feel magnetic and
unstoppable, what makes me feelalive, what makes me?
What lights me up and makes meexcited about showing up in my
business?
What would the million dollarme do this morning?
How would her mornings looklike?
And you know what happened,girl.
In two weeks I tripled myincome.
(06:51):
In three months, my business7X'd.
I worked less than I ever hadbefore.
I felt free, finally, and Ifelt aligned, unstoppable, and I
finally felt like I was livinglife.
As cheesy as that sounds, then,the craziest part is the results
didn't come from me hustlingharder.
I literally did the opposite.
(07:13):
Like go back to my podcast inJuly and August, like I
literally kicked my feet up.
I'm like fuck this shit, I'mdone.
And the results came because Ishowed up as the version of me
who was chilled out, the versionof me who felt like a million
dollars.
When you start to feel and getreally familiar with the million
(07:35):
dollar version of you, moneyand everything it gets like
magnetized towards you, like youcan't make this shit up.
I literally it's the funnestwork that I get to do with
clients because I'm like, yes,all you get to do is focus on
your joy.
We're going to back into yourdream scenario.
Your dream success, your dreamincome was starting with your
(07:55):
dream day.
We're going to back into yourdream scenario.
Your dream success, your dreamincome was starting with your
dream day.
We're going to do all thesethings and that's how it's going
to happen and like there's alot of resistance, there's a lot
of wanting to talk me out of it, and I'm like, girlfriend, I
got you and then boom, Iimplement the overflow strategy
while she's working on hermillion dollar self and their
business just skyrockets 40% inless than 90 days.
(08:15):
This stuff is normal in myworld because it's called chill
out and watch your businessmultiply.
Now I want you to think aboutyour own success in your own
life, in your own business.
Are you hustling towardssuccess, thinking it's something
you'll feel once you quote getthere?
Are you getting caught up inthat feeling, like I was, or are
(08:35):
you willing to step into thatenergy of it right now and train
yourself that this is the wayto the life that you want?
Because our ego and ourconscious brain wants to talk us
out of it because it's going tolaugh at you.
It's gonna be like, yeah, youdoing less work is going to work
.
Yeah, right, katie, nice, try,get back to work.
Oh, now you're behind.
Now you're falling behind evenfurther.
(08:56):
Why don't you go on socialmedia and check things out?
See, she's beating you, she'swinning, she's winning.
You see that no one wants that.
The truth is the version of youwho has it all the freedom, the
ease, the abundance.
She exists.
You know this.
She exists.
How?
Also the desires, even in yourhead.
(09:16):
How also did the Instagramalgorithm place that in front of
you for your desires to be born?
It's because it's meant for youand it's because it's already
existing on a different timeline.
That's like woo-woo stuff thatI don't normally talk about,
even though I do talk about woothings, but you can look it up.
It's literally quantum physics.
You just have to connect withthat version of you.
Because let me tell you, theversion of you who's rolling in
it ain't on fucking Instagram24-7.
(09:38):
I say that with love, but sheain't.
She's not in her email.
She's probably got a team ofpeople working for her at least
a VA and she's probably neverchecking anything because she
doesn't care.
She's cool, she's chilled out,she is fulfilled, she's
sustained.
Now, obviously, take what Ijust said with a grain of salt.
She has her pulse, she has thepulse of things, but she's not
(10:01):
checking and actively doingthings Like I.
Just the whole Instagram thingit is such a love hate.
Like I'll be honest with you, Ilove it so much where I get to
have a little like corner of theinternet where my people find
me and I find my people, to havea little like corner of the
internet where my people find meand I find my people, but like
to think, to be on that thingevery day for the rest of my
life literally makes me wannapoke my eyes out and that's why
(10:21):
it's like I don't know.
I don't know because I have alot to say and I clearly like to
talk.
Okay, let's move into actionsteps to how you can start
feeling like a million buckstoday.
So if you're wondering how todo this, let me share some
simple things that helped memake this shift.
I started my day with actualintention.
So when you wake up, don't gostraight to your to-do list.
(10:42):
Don't go straight to suckingdown some coffee.
I've said this before.
Instead, ask yourself whatwould make me feel amazing today
.
Of course your coffee is, butcan you get some electrolytes in
you beforehand?
Maybe sip on some greensbeforehand?
What would the higher versionof you be doing?
The million dollar version ofyou?
I bet she'd have a greens juicedelivered to her as she woke up
.
Well, how can you meet thathalfway?
(11:04):
How can you start drinkinggreens?
This is just an obviously offthe cuff example.
I do drink greens every morning.
I also drink electrolytes everymorning, so I decided to make
my morning completely feelelevated.
I romanticize my mornings and Istopped talking myself out of
it because I could die tomorrow.
So I want to have today be amemorable morning, and I am so
(11:26):
obsessed with my mornings it'sunreal, and my morning routine
actually just expands andexpands and it continues to grow
as I grow and evolve and I getup earlier and I do more things
for myself and I move my bodynow and everything is lined up.
It's literally my favorite.
It's so funny because myhusband laughs.
He's like you were never amorning person.
I'm like, yeah, well, I'veevolved.
(11:46):
Okay, okay, no, it's a joke,okay.
Number two how can you celebratewhat's already working?
So, instead of focusing onwhat's done, what if you took a
moment to recognize everythingyou've accomplished?
You know the importance ofgratitude, and gratitude shifts
your energy, so why not tap intothat?
Number three do one thing thatmakes you feel rich.
(12:08):
Now let me clarify.
That's not spending any money.
Not at all, not at all.
Maybe you feeling rich iswearing your favorite outfit, is
wearing some lipstick, iscurling your hair, is throwing
on the mascara, it's having aslow morning with coffee, maybe
having your coffee outside,maybe going on a walk before you
(12:30):
have coffee, or after or withyour coffee, or maybe it's
journaling.
There are so many things thatyou can do to make yourself feel
rich without actually costingyou anything.
And the last one is anchor intoyour energy before taking
action.
Every single client of mine,whether you've worked with me
one-on-one or not.
I talked about this in theWealth Code Academy.
(12:51):
I always touch on your energybefore taking.
Action is everything.
Intention in what you doliterally is everything.
So, before tackling a big task,take a moment to visualize the
results that you want and feelthe excitement of it already
being done, and then go intothat task.
(13:13):
That will change literallyeverything.
I should like end the episodehere, but I ain't.
But I'm telling you, when Istopped chasing and I started
aligning, everything changedjust by those simple four action
steps I just shared with you.
I used to think that I had toearn the right to feel good.
I used to think that I had towait until a certain time or
(13:36):
something where things weregoing to take off.
I had to wait until I hit sixfigures or seven or whatever the
next goal was.
But the truth, the better Ifelt, the more the results
flowed in.
Like it doesn't make sense, butthat's how it works.
I finally figured out my ownplaybook, like I've talked about
(13:56):
, and I want you to have thesame thing.
I want the same for you.
So let's wrap this up with a funlittle challenge.
What's one thing you can dotoday to feel like a million
bucks.
It could be anything.
Maybe it's dressing up, maybeit's slowing down, or maybe it's
just giving yourself permissionto step away from the hustle
for a moment.
Whatever it is, just do it, doit.
(14:18):
Do it, do it.
You owe yourself that break,and if this message is
resonating with you, I want tohear about it, because this is
just the beginning.
In my world, the standard isfreedom with ease and wealth
with joy.
