Okay, Now What? - With Kate Gladdin

Ever caught yourself smiling on the outside… while dragging around that heavy, invisible rock of resentment on the inside?
Yeah. Me too.

In this episode, we're pulling apart that quiet tension so many of us live with — the resentment that comes from unspoken needs, swallowed frustration, and hoping people will magically "just...

This week, I sit down with Meghan Barakett—founder & CEO of One Girl—a woman who embodies everything this show stands for: courage, community, and choosing to create the good when life doesn't hand it to you.

We talk leadership that starts on the in...

When someone you care about loses someone they love, it's hard to know what to say. You want to comfort them, to make it better, but most of us were never taught how to show up in the face of raw grief.

After losing both my mum and sister in separate tragedies, I realized we're walking through one of the most universal human experiences - grief- w...

Ever open your laptop to work on that big project and suddenly find yourself deep in a TikTok scroll? Or decide that right now is the perfect time to snack instead of finishing that report? Yep, we've all been there, right? That's because procrastination isn't laziness, it's humanness. 

In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the story behind my ...

What if I told you that the rejection you fear most isn't coming from other people?

Most of us spend our lives trying to avoid hearing "no." We don't send the email. We don't make the call. We don't start the business, ask for the promotion, or put ourselves out there—because we're terrified of being rejected.

You know those full-body, can't-catch-your-breath, snotty, ugly cries? The ones that leave you physically exhausted on the floor?

Yeah, let's talk about those.

Because here's what nobody tells you: crying isn't you breaking down - it's how you break through.

In this epis...

I'm grateful to be back after taking time off following the loss of my beautiful mum - and 2025 has been a year.

Everyone talks about gratitude when you're going through grief and hard times. "Just be grateful for what you have and still remains." And sure, gratitude is powerful. But I've discovered something deeper, something more perspective-shiftin...

I know I've been MIA the past month, and I've recorded this episode with a broken heart to explain why. This episode is messy, raw and honestly I'm still in shock that I had to record it at all.. But I always want to keep it real with you guys about the realities of what we all go through in life.. and right now I am really going through it.. 

My Mum was truly one of a kind. The best parts of me, are her. 

Let's be real—long distance isn't for the faint of heart. It's for the ones who are willing to cry on dog walks with sunglasses on. The ones who whisper we'll figure it out even when every plan falls through. The ones who know love is worth the effort—but still wonder, how the heck do people actually make this work?

So in this...

Ever been through a breakup that didn't just hurt emotionally—but physically?
Like your chest was caving in or your stomach was in knots? You're not crazy. In fact, there's actual science behind that soul crushing pain.

In this episode, we dive deep into what's actually happening in your brain and body when your heart gets broken—and why breakup grief might actually...

What if the thing holding you back isn't fear—but the story you're telling yourself about it?
This week on Okay, Now What?, I'm joined by the powerhouse that is Sally Zimney—award-winning speaker, bes...

Let's be honest: Most of us aren't just busy - we're burnt out, overbooked, and quietly wondering if this is just how life's meant to be.

If your schedule feels like a never-ending to-do list and your soul's running on empty, this episode is for you.

What if the most heartbreaking chapter of your life also held the key to your greatest purpose?

In this powerful and tender conversation, I sit down with Kara Byron - founder of Moments by Kara - to talk about the raw reality of being a full-time caregiver to her father in her early twenties, how she turned gr...
