Do Life Big

154: If You Feel Like You've Lost Momentum Listen to this Today

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In today's Do Life Big Podcast, I’m getting real with you about something I know so many of us go through… that feeling like you’ve “lost momentum.” But what if that’s not actually true?

I shared where I’ve been these past six months... why I stepped back, what life looked like behind the scenes, and how I realized I didn’t fall off… I just grew.

Have you ever paused and thought, “Am I falling behind?”
Have you ever felt like you’re not showing up the way you used to?

What if that pause isn’t failure… what if it’s expansion?

In this episode, I’m walking you through the mindset shift that changed everything for me: momentum isn’t about doing more... it’s about alignment. I’m reminding you that you’re not behind, you didn’t miss your moment, and you’re not losing your edge… you’re becoming a whole new version of yourself.

This one is your permission slip to stop being so hard on yourself... and start trusting the season you’re in.

And yes… I’m back. And we’re just getting started. 💛

153: The Hidden Cost of Playing it Safe

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Playing it safe feels comfortable, right? But here’s the truth: safe is actually the riskiest move you can make. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real cost of hiding in your comfort zone—lost time, lost money, lost confidence, and worst of all… lost dreams.

I’ll share how saying “yes” to starting a property management company with Nick (even in the craziest season of our lives!) opened doors we never would’ve imagined. And I’ll ask you the same questions I’ve been asking myself: What is staying safe costing you? Where are you shrinking instead of stepping forward?

Because regret? That’s heavier than any risk you’ll ever take. This week, I’m challenging you to trade safety for courage and take the leap you’ve been putting off. Your dream life isn’t built in your comfort zone—it’s waiting on the other side of risk. 💥

152: The Power Of Doing Things Differently: Why Following the Crowd Never Works

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0400

I’m back after a whirlwind couple of weeks (hello new business!) and today I’m sharing something that’s been on my heart big time: the power of doing things differently. 💥

If you want extraordinary results, you can’t keep doing what everyone else is doing. Period.

In this episode, I tell the behind-the-scenes story of our brand-new property management company and how breaking away from the “normal” way has already created crazy momentum. From real estate to fitness to content creation, the same truth applies—blending in keeps you invisible, standing out opens doors.

I’ll walk you through how we flipped the script, what I’ve learned from mentors who never follow the crowd, and a simple challenge you can start this week to break free from “average.” If you’ve been feeling stuck or playing it safe, this episode is your permission slip to zig when everyone else zags.

151: You Don't Get What You Wish For, You Get What You Work For

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I’m keeping it real with you — because the truth is, life doesn’t just hand us the things we want. Success, impact, freedom… none of it shows up by wishing for it. You’ve gotta roll up your sleeves, do the work, and earn it.

I share some behind-the-scenes stories from building our new business, the lessons I’ve been learning from some powerhouse entrepreneurs, and why the grind, the persistence, and the uncomfortable growth moments are actually the biggest rewards of all.

So if you’ve ever caught yourself waiting for things to “just happen” — this is your reminder that the reward isn’t only in the result, it’s in who you become along the way. 💪

150: There's Always a Way

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to Do Life Big! Today I’m diving into a truth that I know you need to hear (because I’ve needed it too, more times than I can count): no matter what you’re facing, there is always a way forward.

Maybe you’ve hit that “brick wall” in your business, in your relationships, or even in your own mindset and thought, How the heck am I going to get through this? I’ve been there. But here’s the thing—you always found a way. You’re here right now, proof that you made it through.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to shift out of that stuck, victim-mode thinking, how to start asking better questions, and how to see problems not as dead ends but as detours—ones that will still lead you exactly where you’re meant to go.

Because listen, quitting isn’t an option. Pivoting? Sure. Getting creative? Absolutely. But giving up? Nope, not here. You’re stronger than you think, and the solution is always closer than it feels.

Tune in and let’s talk about how to keep moving forward when life feels impossible. You’ve got this—and I’m here to remind you of it.

149: When Business Feels Heavy vs Light

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like your business is this giant boulder you’re pushing uphill every single day? I’ve been there too, and honestly—it sucks. In today’s episode, I’m diving into the difference between heavy energy (desperation, pressure, forcing) and light energy (excitement, alignment, fun).

I’ll walk you through how to catch yourself when you’re spiraling into “need mode,” how to pause and reset, and most importantly—how to bring the FUN back into your business.

Because here’s the truth: yes, business takes work, but it should feel exciting, aligned, and magnetic. When you shift into that light energy, you’ll attract more of what you want with way less stress.

Tune in to learn how to stop gripping so tight and start flowing forward again. ✨

148: How Authentic Relationships Open Doors You Never Saw Coming

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0400

You know those people who just get you? The ones you can be your messy, unfiltered, totally human self around?

Yeah… those relationships are pure gold.

In this episode, I’m diving into why authentic connections are literally the key to opportunities you can’t even see yet. I’m talking about the doors that swing open because someone thought of you, recommended you, or pulled up a chair for you at the right table—simply because you’ve shown up as YOU.

We’re talking:
✨ Why small talk isn’t where the magic happens
✨ How to stop “networking” and start connecting
✨ The ripple effect of showing up fully as yourself

This one’s for anyone who’s tired of surface-level relationships and ready to start building the kind of connections that change everything.

147: When People Disrespect You or Your Space (and Why it Triggers You So Much)

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Ever feel a wave of anger rise up when someone crosses a line—whether it’s big or small?

You’re not being dramatic. That feeling is trying to tell you something.

In today’s episode of the Do Life Big podcast, I’m sharing a personal story that seemed small on the surface—just a random family walking through our backyard—but underneath it? A wake-up call about boundaries, respect, and our tendency to shrink ourselves just to “keep the peace.”

Here’s the truth:
🚨 Anger isn’t bad.
It’s not the enemy.
It’s a signal—a clue—that something needs to be protected, voiced, or clarified.

This episode is for the woman who’s learning to trust herself again.
The woman who’s tired of explaining away her needs.
The woman who’s done being quiet just to make everyone else comfortable.

If your boundaries have been crossed and you’ve felt like your anger was “too much”… this is your permission to listen, get clear, and take your power back. 💥

146: The Identity Crisis No One Talks About

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 05:00:00 -0400

This one’s personal, friend. 👀

I had a dream the other night that stopped me in my tracks—and it brought up something I didn’t even realize I was still holding onto: my identity being wrapped up in recognition, titles, and applause.

If you've ever felt like you’re not sure who you are without the business, the rank, the hustle, the results... you are NOT alone.

In this episode, I’m getting raw and real about what happens when your identity is tied to what you do instead of who you are—and how we can shift out of it.

Let’s stop chasing what no longer fits and start becoming who we’re really here to be. 🎧

145: Getting to the Root: Why Surface Fixes Don't Create Real Change

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0400

What if the real reason you feel stuck isn't the strategy… but the story you're believing underneath it?

In this episode, I’m getting real about why surface-level fixes—like grinding harder or switching up your to-do list—don’t actually create lasting transformation.

I share a moment from my own business where I hit a plateau and thought the answer was more action… when really, it was about going deeper. Because friend, the fruit (your results) will always reflect the root (your beliefs).

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep hitting the same walls despite doing all the things—this episode is going to hit home. We’re talking identity, belief, healing, and the inner shifts that truly create outer change.

Let’s get to the root. 🌱

144: When You Don’t Feel Like It… Do It Anyway

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Can I be honest with you? I almost didn’t feel like recording this episode. The motivation was low, the energy wasn’t there… and then BOOM—my best friend calls, and suddenly there are two giant water spouts forming outside my house 😳 (Florida life, right?).

But THAT moment was the wake-up call I needed—because today’s episode is exactly about this:

What do you do when you don’t feel like it?

We ALL have those days where motivation is MIA and our energy is dragging. But you know what separates those who stay stuck from those who actually create the life and business they want? It’s what they do on the days they don’t feel like showing up.

In this episode, I’m sharing:
✨ The mindset shift that changed everything for me
✨ A simple strategy to get back into motion
✨ How to create your “bare minimum list” so you never hit zero
✨ Why waiting to feel like it is a trap that steals your dreams

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll do it tomorrow” or “I need to be in the right headspace”—this is for you.

It’s time to stop waiting. Start moving. You’ll thank yourself later.

143: Waiting is Costing Your More Than You Think

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0400

This one’s a wake-up call. ⚡️

If you've been telling yourself, “Now’s just not the right time,” I need you to really hear me on this…

Waiting is costing you more than you think. It’s costing you confidence. It’s costing you momentum. And most of all—it’s costing you the life you say you want. 😬

In this episode, I’m getting real about how I used to wait for the perfect time too (spoiler alert: it never came!). I had zero experience, zero time, a ton of fear—and still, I made the decision to GO. That one decision changed everything.

I’m sharing exactly what to do when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like life’s just “too much” to start anything new.

If you’ve been waiting… this is your sign. 🚨 Let’s stop stalling and start moving. You were made for this—and your time is NOW.

141: How to Overcome Self-Doubt and Take Bold Action

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Ever had a moment where you’re so pumped about a new idea or goal…

Only to hear that little whisper creep in and say:

“Who do you think you are?”
“You’re not ready.”
“That’s never gonna work.”

Yep — that sneaky voice is self-doubt.
And if it’s been running the show in your life or business lately, this episode is for YOU.

Let’s be real — even the most successful people deal with self-doubt.
(Yes, even the 7-figure business owners, even the ones speaking on stages, even the ones with the “perfect” Instagram feeds.)

But the difference?
They’ve learned how to quiet the noise and take bold action anyway.

And in this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m giving you my personal 3-part strategy — the exact framework I use — to move from doubt to confidence (and get unstuck, fast!).

🎧 Listen to Episode 141 now:
👉 How to Overcome Self-Doubt and Take Bold Action

We’re diving into:

✅ The 3 Cs that will shift your mindset from paralyzed to powerful
✅ Daily tools you can use to rewire your thoughts (and stop holding back!)

139: Becoming Unstoppable: Rewiring Your Mind to Overcome Imposter Syndrome, Comparison, and Fear of Being Seen

Mon, 19 May 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Mon, 12 May 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Have you ever had a dream or an idea that totally lit your soul on fire 🔥…

but somehow it ended up shoved to the back burner?

You know the one — the “maybe later,” the “when things calm down,” the “when I’m ready” kind of dream.

Whew. This episode is gonna hit home.

Mon, 05 May 2025 05:00:00 -0400

If you’ve been feeling pulled in a million directions lately — juggling business, family, life — and wondering how you’re supposed to keep up… you’re not alone. 😅

✅ Stay focused on what actually matters
✅ Take inspired, effective action (not just busywork)
✅ Protect your peace while building a business you love

💡 Plus, I’ll tell you about a powerful method I use called the “Parking Lot List” — total game-changer for decluttering your brain!

And if you’re looking for more support, community, and mentorship to grow your business without the overwhelm — doors are opening soon for the Empowered Mom’s Business Circle! 💼✨

136: The Strength in Letting Go - Why Asking for Help is the Boldest Move You Can Make

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Ever been the kind of person who insists on doing it all yourself?

🙋‍♀️ Guilty. That’s been me—carrying all the grocery bags in one trip, saying “I’ve got it!” even when I’m drowning, and thinking asking for help makes me weak.

But guess what?

That’s a LIE we’ve been sold—and I’m done believing it.

In this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m getting super real about what it looks like when life throws a lot at you (like recovering from back-to-back travel and a husband on crutches 😅) and you finally admit…

💥 You can’t do it all alone.
💥 You shouldn’t have to.
💥 And asking for help is actually one of the boldest, most powerful things you can do.

We’re talking about:

✨ Why “strong” doesn’t mean doing everything yourself
✨ What it really looks like to let people support you—in life and business
✨ Signs you might be stuck in solo-mode (even when you’re overwhelmed)
✨ And how to start asking for help without guilt or apology 🙅‍♀️

If you’ve ever felt like you have to keep it all together while quietly drowning on the inside... this one’s gonna hit you right in the heart.

135: The Real Reason You're Procrastinating—And It's Not Laziness

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Ever had one of those days?

You’ve got the list.
You’ve got the plan.
You even have the time…

But somehow, you end up deep-cleaning your kitchen pantry, reorganizing email folders, or scrolling TikTok wondering how that dog learned to skateboard instead of doing the ONE thing you said you’d do. 😅

Yup—been there, done that. 🙋‍♀️

But guess what?

👉 Procrastination doesn’t mean you’re lazy.
👉 It doesn’t mean you’re unmotivated.
👉 It doesn’t mean you’re broken.

It means… your brain is doing its job. 🧠

And in this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m pulling back the curtain on the REAL reason you’re procrastinating. Spoiler: it’s got nothing to do with being lazy—and everything to do with fear, identity, and your subconscious programming.

🔥 We’re getting into:
• Why your brain loves “safe” and avoids “big, bold moves”
• The 3 sneaky fears that fuel your avoidance
• And 3 practical steps to break the cycle (plus a bonus tip to shake things up!)

And if you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “Ughhh why can’t I just DO the thing?”…
This one is gonna hit home. 💥

134: Your Breakthrough Is Coming—How to Stay the Course in Business

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Let’s get real for a second...

Have you ever felt like you're pouring your heart into your business—showing up, posting, emailing, connecting—and still, it feels like nothing is happening? 😫 Like you're yelling into the void and wondering, “What the heck am I doing wrong?”

If that sounds like you (👋 been there, done that!), then you NEED to listen to this week’s episode of Do Life Big. Trust me, this one hits hard (in the best way). 💥

In this episode, we talk about the real stuff—what it actually feels like to build a biz when results are slow, and what to do when that annoying little voice in your head starts whispering, “Maybe this isn’t for you.” 😒

✨ Here’s the truth:

Your success is inevitable—but it’s not on your fear’s timeline.
Every post, every message, every “Hey, I love what you’re doing!” is a SEED being planted 🌱
Just like a bamboo tree 🌿... it grows underground for years before it shoots up 90ft in just weeks.

Your business is doing that invisible work right now—even if you can’t see it. 💫

🔥 Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

How to stay grounded in your big vision even when it feels like nothing's working
A reality check on timelines (they’re not the boss of you!)
A mindset shift that'll keep you going when most people would quit
Mini wins = MASSIVE momentum 🚀 (yes, even the “small” stuff counts!)

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or like giving up… this is your sign. Your breakthrough is coming, friend. Don’t. Give. Up. 🫶

133: The Truth About Overnight Success

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 05:00:00 -0400

We need to talk about one of the BIGGEST myths out there—overnight success.

It’s easy to look at someone crushing it in business or life and think they just got lucky. That they woke up one day, launched their thing, and BOOM—millions in the bank, sold-out offers, dream life unlocked.

But here’s the truth:
✨ Success isn’t magic—it’s BUILT.
✨ It’s years of showing up, failing forward, and learning.
✨ It’s the late nights, the early mornings, and the moments when no one is watching.

And I was reminded of this when my son, Landon, had his first real recording studio experience. 🎤 He’s been working so hard on his rap music, and after recording his first professional track, he was so excited to share it on YouTube. But when the views didn’t skyrocket overnight, he felt a little disappointed.

It was the perfect opportunity to remind him—great things take time. Even the biggest artists and entrepreneurs didn’t just wake up successful. It’s all about the long game, patience, and consistency.

🎥 Check out Landon’s YouTube channel and support his journey here.

And in this episode of Do Life Big, I’m sharing:
🔥 The real story behind success (spoiler: it’s never overnight)
🔥 3 things you MUST do if you want to break through
🔥 Why consistency, patience, and staying in YOUR lane matter more than anything

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with how long things are taking, this episode is for you.

One day, someone will look at YOU and think you’re an overnight success. But you’ll know the truth. 😉 Keep going. Keep showing up. You got this!

132: The Mindset Shift to Break Your Income Plateau

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you work, how much effort you put in, or how many strategies you try, your income just won’t budge past a certain level? 😩

Maybe you’re stuck at $5K months, or you’ve been circling $10K but can’t seem to break through. You’re doing all the right things, following the strategies, showing up consistently… but nothing is changing.

Here’s the truth: It’s not your strategy that’s the problem—it’s your MINDSET. 🧠💡

In today’s episode of Do Life Big, we’re diving into the hidden mental blocks that are keeping you stuck—and how to reprogram your brain for the success you KNOW you’re capable of.

Here’s what we cover:

🔥 Why 80% of business success is mindset (and only 20% is strategy!)
🚀 How fear of success (yes, success!) could be secretly sabotaging you
💸 Common money mindset blocks and how they’re limiting your income
🧠 How to rewire your thoughts so you can finally break your income plateau

I’ve seen this firsthand—not only with my students but in my own journey. I hit a multi-six-figure plateau years ago, and no matter how much I pushed, hustled, and did all the things, nothing changed—until I realized it was my subconscious beliefs holding me back. When I shifted my identity and rewired my thoughts? BAM. Breakthrough. 💥

And I know you can do the same.

🚀 CHALLENGE: Start shifting your beliefs TODAY!

1️⃣ Write down your income goal.
2️⃣ Notice what thoughts come up—doubts, fears, or limiting beliefs.
3️⃣ Challenge them: Is this actually true? Or is it just an old story I’ve been telling myself?
4️⃣ Reframe it into a new empowering belief (ex: “I am more than capable of success!”)
5️⃣ Take ONE action today as the next-level CEO you’re becoming.

This is exactly the kind of work we do inside my Inspired Living Collective, where we rewire your mind for success and happiness so it becomes your default way of thinking. If you want to learn more, just message me on Instagram @katherinereuter and I’ll send you the details! 💫

131: Why Sleep is Your Superpower to a Longer Life with Mikel Segal

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 05:00:00 -0500

You know I love talking about mindset, business, and all things personal growth—but today, we’re diving into something just as powerful (and often overlooked)... SLEEP. 😴💥

In this episode of Do Life Big, I sat down with the amazing Dr. Mikel Segal, a physician and wellness coach, to talk about why sleep is THE ultimate superpower for a longer, healthier life. And let me tell you—if you’ve ever thought “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”, this convo will change your mind FAST.

Here’s the truth:

🚀 Lack of sleep is holding you back. It messes with your energy, focus, metabolism, and even your ability to handle stress.
🛌 Your body HEALS while you sleep. This is when your cells repair, your memory strengthens, and your body fights off disease.
🌙 Quality sleep = a longer, more vibrant life. Studies show that prioritizing sleep can literally add YEARS to your life!

And if you’re thinking “But Kathi, I try to sleep and I just CAN’T!”—don’t worry, we’ve got you. Dr. Mikel shared some game-changing sleep hacks you NEED to hear, including:

✅ The real reason so many people struggle with sleep (and how to fix it!)
✅ Simple sleep hygiene habits that actually work (hint: it’s NOT just turning off screens)
✅ Why sleep deprivation is killing your energy and making you crave all the wrong foods
✅ How sleep directly affects your stress levels, mood, and even weight loss

If you’re ready to start waking up feeling refreshed, energized, and unstoppable, this episode is a MUST-LISTEN. 🎧✨

🔥 Your challenge for today: Pick ONE small sleep habit to improve tonight. Maybe it’s dimming the lights before bed, setting a consistent bedtime, or skipping that late-night social media scroll. Small shifts = BIG results!

And don’t forget to tag me @katherinereuter and @mikelsegalMD on Instagram with your biggest takeaway! Let’s all commit to getting better sleep and unlocking our full potential. 🚀💤

You got this!

130: How to Stop Tying Your Self-Worth to Success

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Real talk: Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’ll be worthy when…”? 🤯

👉 When I hit six figures.
👉 When I lose the weight.
👉 When I finally get that promotion.

Sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone—and it’s time to break the cycle! 🙅‍♀️🚫

In this week’s episode of Do Life Big, we’re tackling one of the biggest mindset traps out there: tying self-worth to achievements. It’s the sneaky little lie that keeps us stuck, constantly moving the finish line and never feeling “good enough.”

But here’s the truth: Your worth isn’t earned—it’s inherent. You don’t need another milestone, title, or paycheck to prove it. You are already worthy. Right now. As you are. Period. 💛

Inside Episode 130, you’ll learn:

✅ Why chasing external validation keeps you feeling “not enough” (and how to break free!)
✅ The one mindset shift that transformed an entrepreneur’s success (spoiler: it wasn’t about making more money!)
✅ Simple, daily practices to rewire your brain for unshakable self-worth 🧠✨

💥 Challenge for you: Take a moment to rewrite your story. Instead of “I’ll be worthy when…” say: “I am worthy now because…” Fill in the blank and OWN IT! 🙌

129: Fear is a Liar

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Do you ever feel like fear is calling the shots in your life or business? Like it’s whispering, “You can’t do this,” “What if you fail?” or “Who do you think you are?”

Well, guess what? Fear is a LIAR. 👏 It never truly disappears, but here’s the kicker—you don’t have to wait for it to leave to take action. In this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m getting real about fear, how it holds us back, and how to crush it so we can break free from survival mode and start living boldly!

👉 Here’s the truth: Fear shows up for everyone. Even the most successful people who look like they’ve got it all together feel the fear—but they don’t let it stop them. Fear doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path; it means you’re on the verge of something amazing.

Here’s what we’re diving into this week:

🔥 Why fear doesn’t go away—and why that’s okay!
🔥 The survival mode trap (and how to get out of it).
🔥 My personal story of staring fear in the face (from teacher to entrepreneur—and beyond!).
🔥 How to reframe fear as your green light instead of a stop sign.
🔥 A 5-step plan to take action and crush your goals even when fear is present.

💡 Action Step #1: The next time fear pops up, don’t hit the brakes. Hit the gas. 🚦 Let fear remind you that you’re stepping into growth, not danger.

💡 Action Step #2: Reconnect with your big vision. What’s your “why”? What’s that future you’re working so hard to create? When you focus on the long game, fear doesn’t stand a chance.

💡 Action Step #3: Take small, bold actions. Fear shrinks when you move!

You’ve got everything you need to start showing fear who’s boss. Remember, it’s not about being fearless; it’s about feeling the fear and going for it anyway. You’re not alone—I’ve been there, and I’m cheering for you every step of the way. Let’s do this together! 💪✨

128: Stop Overthinking + Start Doing! The Secret to Making Progress

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0500

What’s up?! 🥳 I’m so pumped to bring you this week’s episode of Do Life Big, because it’s all about ditching overwhelm and FINALLY making progress toward your dreams.

Let’s get real: starting something new (like your online business) can feel like juggling flaming swords while blindfolded. 🔥 You’ve got websites to build, content to create, marketing to learn, and OMG—don’t even get me started on figuring out your offer. It’s A LOT. And if you’re anything like me when I started my first biz, you might be thinking, “I don’t know what I’m doing… how do I even begin?”

Here’s the Truth Bomb 💣

Success isn’t about doing everything at once. It’s about doing the NEXT RIGHT THING.

Yup. That’s it. Just one small step. One piece of content. One DM to connect with someone. One small action that moves you forward today. Because those tiny, consistent steps? They compound over time (shoutout to my fave book, The Compound Effect 📚). And before you know it, you’re unstoppable. 🚀

Quick Story for You 📝

One of my students started her online coaching biz and felt COMPLETELY stuck. She had a million things to do and no clue where to start. Sound familiar? Instead of trying to tackle it all, she wrote this mantra in her notebook:

👉 “What’s the one thing I can do today to move forward?”

Day 1? She posted on social media for the first time ever. Day 2? She reached out to five people in her network. Day 3? She created a free resource. Within weeks, she built momentum, gained confidence, and even signed her FIRST client—all because she focused on small, consistent actions.

So, Here’s Your Challenge 🎯

Take a deep breath. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to see the whole staircase. As Martin Luther King said, “Just take the first step.”

Ask yourself RIGHT NOW:
👉 What’s the ONE thing I can do today to move forward?
And then GO DO THAT THING. Even if it feels a little scary. ESPECIALLY if it feels a little scary.

Because guess what? You’re not in this alone. I’m right here cheering you on every step of the way. We’re doing this together, my friend. Let’s stop overthinking and start doing.

126: Do You Really Need to Quit Drinking Completely with Colleen Kachmann

Mon, 27 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0500

125: The Power of Perspective + Seeing Beyond Your Blind Spots

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever noticed the white arrow in the FedEx logo? (Go ahead, Google it if you haven’t—I'll wait.) Well, it took my 5-year-old to point it out, even though I’ve been staring at FedEx trucks my whole life! 🤯

Here’s the thing: life is FULL of “white arrows”—things right in front of us that we miss because we’re stuck in our routines or blinded by our own perspective. That’s what this week’s podcast episode is all about: opening your eyes, challenging your beliefs, and learning to see the opportunities, blessings, and brilliance that are already in your life. 💡

Here’s a sneak peek of what we dive into:
🎯 How your perspective can either be your prison or your passport (thank you, Steven Furtick 🙌).
✨ The power of “time confetti” and how those little moments of downtime can transform your day.
👶 What kids can teach us about curiosity, openness, and seeing things differently.
💪 Why you should start seeing yourself the way others already do (spoiler alert: you’re amazing).

If you’ve ever doubted your own potential or felt stuck in “what you know,” this episode is here to shake things up in the best way. 💥

And hey, let’s make this fun: DM me on Instagram @KatherineReuter and tell me—did you already know about the FedEx arrow, or am I late to the party? 🕺 Let’s keep the convo going, and remember, there’s so much more waiting for you to see.

124: Attorney Turned Entrepreneur: Bridging Law and Functional Medicine with Scott Rattigan

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Let’s talk bold moves, life pivots, and chasing what truly matters. On the latest episode of Do Life Big, I sat down with Scott Rattigan—attorney-turned-entrepreneur extraordinaire, and trust me, this conversation was one for the books! 🙌

Scott’s story is a masterclass in saying no to golden handcuffs and yes to purpose-driven work. 👏 He swapped his high-pressure attorney life for the thrill of building not one but THREE businesses, all while balancing family life with two young kids (and maybe a few late-night laundry sessions 🧺).

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:
✅ How Scott turned a gap in the functional medicine world into a thriving business.
✅ The truth about leaving a “safe” career and going all in on your dreams (spoiler: it’s scary but SO worth it).
✅ Why sometimes you just need to bet on yourself, even if you don’t have it all figured out yet.

And oh, the nuggets of wisdom Scott shared? 🔥 From navigating imposter syndrome to balancing family time, this episode is packed with takeaways for anyone ready to rewrite their story.

Scott Rattigan is the founder of Functional Lawyer, which helps practitioners protect their licenses and grow their businesses with confidence. Scott was inspired to help the medical community after helping his wife (Linda Matteoli, D.O.) build her functional medicine practice, and watching her colleagues searching but not finding solid legal and business foundations to reduce unnecessary risks. With his wife Linda, he co-founded Origins Incubator, a physician business mentorship program that includes business, legal, finance, clinical, marketing and mindset coaching.

Scott is an attorney, a nationally recognized speaker, host of the podcast The Junto w/ Scott Rattigan, and bestselling author of the book The Practice of Telemedicine.

123: That One Idea: Stop Ignoring it and Make 2025 Your Best Year

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0500

2025 is calling, and guess what? It’s your year. 💥 But here’s the deal: if we want a different year, we need to do something different. No autopilot, no same-old routines. Let’s make this the year where you say YES to the thing that’s been quietly (or not-so-quietly) nudging you.

You know the one I’m talking about. That idea you’ve been sitting on, locking away, maybe even pretending it doesn’t exist. The thing that lights you up but feels, let’s be honest, a little scary. The business you’ve been wanting to start, the career shift you’ve been dreaming about, the relationship you know needs a change—whatever it is, you know what it is.

The problem? That pesky little voice in your head—the one I call your “inner bitch voice.” 🙄 It’s doing its job: keeping you comfy, cozy, and exactly where you are. But here’s the truth: comfort zones don’t grow dreams. 🚀

So, let’s challenge it.
💡 Get quiet. Reflect on what you really want your 2025 to look like.
💡 Picture yourself one year from now—where are you? How do you feel?
💡 Take the first step. It doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to be something.

Here’s your pep talk, my friend: You don’t have to know every step. You don’t have to wait for the “right time” (spoiler alert: it doesn’t exist). You just have to start. And guess what? You don’t have to do it alone. We’re in this together. 🎉

So, what’s the one idea you’ve been ignoring? Let’s make it happen. Hit reply and tell me—I’d love to hear about it.

2025 is waiting. Let’s do this. 🚀

122: How to Refocus + Keep Moving Forward after Missing a Goal

Mon, 30 Dec 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Can you believe it? We're down to the LAST day of 2024! 😱

It’s been a wild ride—storms, school changes, life curveballs—but here we are, standing strong and ready to step into a shiny new year. ✨

Today, I’m here to talk about something close to my heart: missing goals and what happens next. Because let’s be real, we’ve all been there. You set the goal, work toward it like a rockstar, and then… womp, womp. You don’t hit it. Sound familiar? 😅

Here’s the thing: missing a deadline doesn’t mean the dream is dead. Goals and deadlines are tools, not verdicts. They guide us, push us, and help us grow, but they’re not the end-all-be-all. Missing a goal isn’t failure—it’s feedback. It’s data to fuel your next step forward. 🚀

And oh boy, let me tell you… you’re going to mess up. (Welcome to the entrepreneur rollercoaster 🎢!) But every missed goal, every "almost there" moment, is a stepping stone to something bigger.

So, as you close out this year, do me a favor:
👉 Look back and celebrate the wins, no matter how small.
👉 Take stock of what didn’t go as planned and what you’ve learned.
👉 Refocus, realign, and set your sights on 2025 like the boss you are.

Remember: you were given this vision for a reason. You’ve got the resourcefulness, grit, and brilliance to figure it out. Big, bold goals are your thing, and you don’t back down. 💪

Now, here’s a little bonus to kick off your 2025: I’m launching something exciting—a brand-new community where you can access my mindset program (worth $997) absolutely FREE. 🎉 Yes, FREE!

✨ Let’s make 2025 the year we crush our goals together. DM me on Instagram @katherinereuter, and I’ll send you all the juicy details.

Your dreams aren’t a "maybe"; they’re a "when." Let’s make it happen. 🔥

Here are just a few golden nuggets she shared:
✨ Trust the nudge: Caitlin leaned into her intuition (even when it made zero sense on paper).

✨ It’s not about YOU: The secret sauce to staying grounded? Remembering the impact you’re here to create for others.

Her advice for when the road feels bumpy? KEEP GOING. Because it’s not the struggles that define you—it’s how you show up for them. 🙌

Whether you're a teacher, entrepreneur, or dreamer chasing the "next big thing," Caitlin’s story is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and taking up space. 💥

👉 Listen now to hear how Caitlin built her empire while staying true to her vision.

120: Reprogram Your Mind for More Success + Happiness in 2025!

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Are you ready to make 2025 your most epic year yet? Because I sure am, and I’m about to share the secret to turning your dreams into reality!

As we close out 2024, I want you to ask yourself: Who are you living for? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Think about it—why do you do what you do? What drives you? Let's make sure you’re not just going through the motions, but living for what truly matters to you. Whether it’s personal or professional, get clear on your WHY! ✨ Once you know, promise me this: Show up every single day for the next 365 days and fight for that thing that matters most. You’ve got this! 💪

But here’s the kicker: Don’t get too attached to the outcome. I know it sounds wild, but trust me on this—detaching from the results is the key to making magic happen. 💫 It’s like when I went to this mind-blowing business event where we did a guided meditation and tried to bend a spoon with our minds. 😱 (I know, it sounds crazy—but it was SO powerful!) The trick wasn’t focusing on bending the spoon, but letting go of the need for it to happen. And guess what? When I stopped trying so hard, it bent! 🤯

It’s all about being present in the journey, not obsessing over the destination. When you detach, the universe works in your favor—floodgates open, and amazing things happen that you couldn’t have planned for! 🌟

Now, I know life can throw curveballs. But when things don’t go as planned, don’t take it personally. The second you spiral into negativity, you lose your power. Keep things neutral, learn from them, and keep going. Your success isn’t determined by setbacks—it’s how you show up after them. 🏆

So here’s your challenge for the upcoming year: Reprogram your mind for success, happiness, and the most incredible year of your life. You ready to go all in with me? Let’s make 2025 a year like no other. 🎯

Let’s do this! ✨🔥

Are you feeling that little itch—the one telling you it’s time to take a step, make a move, and shake things up? Oh, friend, you are not alone. 🙌

In the latest episode of Do Life Big, I sat down with the incredible Kelsey Smith, a powerhouse entrepreneur who’s no stranger to massive change. 🌪️ Kelsey’s story is wild—from juggling three littles under five (yes, THREE!) to leaving behind a 10-year career that no longer lit her up, she’s a walking, talking lesson in trusting yourself and stepping into the unknown.

She reminded me (and now I’m reminding you):
👉 The answers you’re looking for? They’re already within you.
👉 You don’t need to figure it all out at once. Just take the first step.
👉 Trust yourself—your inner voice is never wrong.

Real talk: Entrepreneurship, life pivots, or even just navigating your next big decision can feel terrifying. But as Kelsey shared, every step forward, even a small one, is a win. And when you stop looking for external validation and start tuning into your own voice—oh man, the magic happens. ✨

💡 Key Takeaways from the Episode:
1️⃣ Burn the Boats: Sometimes you’ve gotta let go of the safety net to truly soar.
2️⃣ Quiet the Noise: Turn off the distractions, grab a journal, and listen to YOU.
3️⃣ Get Help: Whether it’s a mentor, a coach, or someone to watch the kids for an hour, lean into support—because you can’t do it all.

116: 6 Steps for Breaking Free from Overwhelm

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 08:40:00 -0500

Quick question: ever feel like life’s throwing everything at you, all at once? Like you’re running around with your head spinning faster than a hamster on a wheel? 🐹💨 Yep, I’ve been there too.

That’s why I couldn’t wait to share this email with you. It’s time to crush that overwhelm and take back control—together! 🙌

Here’s the deal: overwhelm isn’t a life sentence. It’s just your mind and body waving a giant “SLOW DOWN” sign. 🛑 And trust me, pushing through isn’t the answer. Your body’s not a machine (even though I know you hustle like one 😉). It needs some TLC—and I’ve got just the toolkit to help.

The 6 Steps to Breaking Free from Overwhelm

Ready to take a breather and regroup? Let’s dive in:

1️⃣ Breathe. Seriously, when’s the last time you stopped to take a big, deep breath? In through the nose, out through the mouth. Just a few breaths can slow your heart rate and melt away that anxious feeling. 🌬️

2️⃣ Do one thing at a time. Forget the 40-item to-do list. Focus on the ONE thing that matters most right now. Trust me, your list isn’t going anywhere. You’ve got this. 💪

3️⃣ Prioritize & simplify. Every night, pick just three must-dos for the next day. Circle them, highlight them, whatever. Keep it simple and stay focused.

4️⃣ Say “no” more often. Stop trying to please everyone. It’s okay to say, “Let me think about it,” or even a polite, “No thanks.” Permission granted to prioritize YOU. 🙅‍♀️

5️⃣ Do more of what you love. Remember joy? Bring it back. Whether it’s a beach walk, a good book, or a solo dance party in your living room, carve out time for the things that light you up. 💃🌊

6️⃣ Journal it out. Got a storm of thoughts in your head? Get them out of there! Write it down, read it back, and decide if it’s really worth the mental space. Spoiler: most of it isn’t. 📝

Overwhelm Is Temporary, My Friend

It doesn’t own you. You’ve got the power to hit pause, regroup, and tackle life one step at a time. And hey, we’re in this together. 💕

So, grab those six steps, keep them handy, and the next time overwhelm tries to sneak in, you’ll be ready to shut it down like the boss you are. 👊

115: Overcoming Fear and Embracing Growth

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 11:00:00 -0500

We all know that nagging little voice that tries to convince us to stay in our comfort zone. You know the one—it’s that “little inner critic” telling you, “Nah, you can’t do that. It’s too scary.” Yeah, that voice. I like to call it the “little b*tch voice.” 😅 But here’s the deal: if you’re going to Do Life Big, you’ve got to learn how to conquer that voice and step into the life you deserve.

Your brain is wired to keep you safe, to keep you comfy. But everything you’ve ever dreamed of? It’s sitting right on the other side of that fear. 🏔️ Will Smith said it best: “God put all the amazing things in life on the other side of fear.” And guess what? Everyone experiences fear. It’s not just you! The difference between staying stuck and living your best life is learning to push through it. 💥

When you feel fear creeping in, that’s not a sign to run—it’s a signal that you’re on the edge of growth. 🙌 Imagine it: the sweaty palms, the racing heart… that’s your body saying, “Hey, you’re about to level up!” So next time your inner voice whispers, “Don’t do it, it’s too risky,” what do you do? Do it anyway. 🚀

I recently had the chance to apply to speak at my kids’ school. My gut reaction? “NO WAY.” But guess what? I submitted the form. And yeah, I’m still waiting to hear back, but the point is, I acted despite the fear. That’s how we grow, my friend.

So, What Now?

Recognize that your inner voice will always try to keep you safe, but it doesn’t tell the truth. Next time it says, “Don’t start that project” or “Sleep in, you can work out tomorrow,” do the opposite. That’s how you reclaim your power and show that voice who’s boss. 💪

And hey, if you need a little extra help rewiring those thoughts, check out my free workbook: “Think This, Not That.” It’s packed with tips to switch out limiting beliefs for empowering ones.

114: Why Change Feels Hard and How to Break the Cycle

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Today, we’re talking BIG change energy—why it’s so hard to break out of old habits, and what we can do to create the change we actually want. If you’ve ever wondered why it feels like an uphill battle to start (and keep) those life shifts going, this episode’s made for YOU!

Here’s the deal: changing our ways isn’t just about commitment; it’s about how we see ourselves deep down. We get stuck because our brain wants to stay consistent with our self-image. (Ever found yourself saying, “Well, that’s just who I am”? 🧐) But here’s the kicker: You are under ZERO obligation to be the same person you were five minutes ago.

Imagine this: every belief you’ve held, every habit, every “this is just who I am” moment—it’s all changeable. Yes, really! The episode dives into how we can reframe those thoughts and shift out of old cycles. Think of it as giving your brain (and your life!) a makeover.

✨ Here’s what’s coming your way:

The Commitment & Consistency Principle: Why we hold onto beliefs about ourselves and how they influence our actions. It’s WILD how this shapes us!
How small changes in our beliefs can unlock massive potential.
Real talk about cognitive dissonance—and why it might be why you feel stuck.
A pep talk (from me to you 🫶) to encourage a little healthy self-reflection on who YOU want to be moving forward.

We’re all about breaking free and designing our future selves! So if you’re ready to stop unconsciously following the script and start owning your story, hit play now. And hey, let’s take on this challenge together—one new belief at a time.

Can’t wait to hear how you’ll show up for your future self after this one. 🚀

113: How to Stay Resilient When Life Gets Hard

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Today’s Do Lige Big podcast episode is here to light a fire within you and give you that extra spark you need to stay strong when life gets rough.

Ever feel like you're in the middle of a storm with no way out? Guess what? You’re not just in the storm — you ARE the storm. 🌪️💪

Let’s get real: we all face tough times, those moments that really test us.

This episode isn’t about pretending that struggle doesn’t exist or just “thinking positive.” Nope! It’s about helping you tap into your inner strength, finding resilience, and holding onto that glimmer of hope for the future. Even if it feels hard right now, trust that things will get brighter.

I’m here to remind you that:

Life has ups and downs, and that’s okay.
Every challenge you face is shaping a stronger, more resilient YOU.
When things feel impossible, having the right support — even just one person to lift you up — can change everything.

I even share a deeply personal story about a time that really tested me. But every time life knocks us down, we come out of it stronger. And that’s what today’s all about.

So, join me for this one. Feel free to pour yourself a cup of tea, get cozy, and listen in.

Let’s do this together — because you’ve got this! 🙌 Listen now and remember: YOU are the storm!

112: Shifting from a Scarcity to Abundance Mindset for Greater Success

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Let me ask you something... Have you ever felt like you’re stuck behind this invisible glass ceiling, thinking, “I can’t have it all”? Well, guess what? That’s just a lie we’ve been programmed to believe. 😲 The truth? You can have it ALL – a thriving business and an amazing personal life. A successful career and time with your family. Abundance is your birthright! 🌿💫

Kids are a perfect example – they don’t see limits. They don’t worry about what’s realistic. They dream big, and they go after it without hesitation. But somewhere along the way, we start listening to society telling us, “You can’t have this and that. You have to choose.” Scarcity mindset alert! 🚨

But here’s the thing: Life isn’t about either/or... it’s about and. You can be an awesome entrepreneur and a rockstar parent. You can crush your business goals and take your dream vacation. Everything is possible if you make that simple mindset shift from “or” to “and”. 💥

So, how do we make this happen? It starts with setting boundaries, evolving, and giving 100% to whatever’s in front of you – business, family, life. 🌱 When you show up fully, everything grows. You grow. Your abundance grows.

The universe is abundant. Just look at nature – it never stops giving. 🍏🌳 If apple trees can produce hundreds of apples, why can’t you have all the things you desire? Scarcity is just a story we’ve adopted. But you, my friend, are capable of rewriting that story. ✍️💫

So, let’s make this a reality. What’s one thing you can let go of right now that’s been holding you back? What would your life look like if you fully embraced abundance?

Take this as your sign. It’s time to flip that switch and step into your and life. ⚡️

I’m cheering you on every step of the way! Let’s build this life of abundance, together. 🥂💥

111: 4 Tips to Increase Momentum & Attract More Clients in Your Business

Wed, 16 Oct 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Wow, what a wild ride the last couple of weeks have been for me—dodging not one, but TWO hurricanes! 🌪️ But guess what? We made it through stronger than ever, and now, I'm ready to share some seriously GAME-CHANGING tips to help YOU build momentum and attract more clients into your biz! 💼✨

No matter if you’re just starting out or have been in the game for a while, the key is ENERGY & EXCITEMENT. 🙌 People don’t just buy products or services—they’re drawn to your vibe. So ask yourself, how excited are you about what you're doing? Are you pumped about your business? Because trust me, if YOU are, everyone else will want to be part of it, too! 💥

Here’s a sneak peek at what I covered in the latest podcast:

1. Energy is Everything!

People are attracted to energy like moths to a flame. 🔥 If you’re passionate and excited, they’ll feel it and want IN! Bring your A-game excitement to every conversation, pitch, and post. 💃

2. Unshakeable Confidence

Confidence is your secret weapon. Even when things feel uncertain, KNOW that your vision will succeed. 💪 If you’ve got unwavering faith in where your business is headed, others will follow.

3. Take Messy Action

Spoiler alert: You don’t need to have everything figured out. 💡 Waiting for perfection will only keep you stuck. So dive in, make mistakes, and learn as you go. It’s all part of the journey, and trust me, messy action beats no action every time. 🚀

4. Flip the Script

Our minds love to focus on the “what ifs” and the negative outcomes. 🙄 But let’s shift that thinking—what if it DOES work out? Imagine the impact it could have on your life and business. Dream BIG and chase those dreams with everything you’ve got! 🌟

Are you ready to take on the challenge with me? Let’s step into this next season with full force, bringing all the energy, confidence, and action to skyrocket your business! 🎉 We’re all in this together, and I can’t wait to see YOU win.

110: Life Update, Hurricane Helene & Become a Money Magnet

Mon, 07 Oct 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Hope you’re doing amazing and ready to take on the world!

First off, I’m in the thick of my 75 Hard challenge (Day 38, baby! 💪) and WOW, it’s been intense. Two 45-minute workouts a day, gallons of water, daily progress pics, and no treats or cocktails (Captain Morgan, I miss you 😅). And let me tell you, the temptation has been REAL with Hurricane Helene blowing through here in Florida. 🌪️

We live super close to Anna Maria Island, and the destruction there is just... heartbreaking 💔. Houses floated away, roads caved in, sand everywhere—it’s going to take a ton of work to rebuild. But in true "do life big" fashion, we’re rolling up our sleeves and helping out where we can. Our home was spared (thankfully!), but many of our friends weren’t so lucky. Some are even staying with us until they can rebuild. It’s been chaotic, but we’re keeping the vibes high, laughing through the craziness and making memories along the way. ❤️

Now, I’ve gotta talk to you about something BIG. You know how much that network marketing business meant to me—it was the start of everything for me, and I’ll forever be grateful. Well, the company is changing gears, and they’re closing down the whole MLM model (cue the mixed emotions 😬). But I’m choosing gratitude—this chapter gave me so much, including the freedom to build a life on my terms and stay home with my kids. 🙏

But you know what? When one door closes, a million others open if you’re ready to receive them. 👐 So let’s talk about how you can become a money magnet and attract ALL the abundance the universe has to offer! 💸

🔥 Tomorrow, the doors to my Mindset Accelerator Program are closing, and I want YOU to be part of it. If you’re an online entrepreneur who’s hit a plateau, or you’re not sure what’s next for you, this program is designed to help you break through those blocks, rewire your mindset for success, and finally reach that six-figure mark (and beyond!). 🎯

Whether you’re still figuring things out, or you’re ready to level up in a big way, this program is going to be a game-changer. We’re talking less hustle, more flow, and a business that feels FUN, LIGHT, and SIMPLE. Because business should never feel like a drag. 😎

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s crush those limiting beliefs and step into the future you deserve! 🚀 Go to themindsetaccelerator.com and sign up before the doors close!

Together, we’ve got this, my friend. Let’s make BIG moves and create the life of abundance we were always meant for! 🌟💫

108: How to Use Scripting to Manifest What You Want in Your Business

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 05:00:00 -0400

I'm SO excited you're here because today I have something game-changing for you! 😎

If you're ready to seriously take your business to the next level, you need to start scripting your future—and I’m going to show you exactly how! 💡 This is something my mentor taught me, and trust me, it’s a total game-changer! 🚀

Before we dive in though—mark your calendars 🗓 for October 3rd at 11am EST because I'm hosting a FREE training called Unleash Your Business Potential! 💪✨ Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the game for a while but feel stuck (hello, revenue rollercoaster 🎢), this is for YOU! We’re going to get you off that hamster wheel and start seeing the results you’ve been dreaming about! Sound good? 👏 You can sign up right here and bring a friend! 🎉

Ok, now let’s talk scripting. 📜✨ This is one of the MOST powerful tools to manifest the business and life you want. Here’s what I want you to do:

Grab a pen 🖊 (yes, physically write this down—don’t just keep it in your head!) and imagine it’s 90 days from now. What’s your big goal? Maybe you want to crush your next launch or finally hit that income milestone 💰.
Now, write the story of that day as if it’s already happened. What time did you wake up? 🌅 What did you do first? What’s happening in your business that day that has you jumping up and down with excitement? 🎉 The more detailed, the better!
Close your eyes. Visualize it. Feel it. 🧘‍♀️ There’s nothing standing in your way—this is YOUR reality. 💯
Write down: What did you do differently to get here? What old habits or beliefs did you let go of? Who did you become in this process?

Here’s the best part: Do this every single day. 🗝 You’re literally rewiring your brain for success. 💥 And that, my friend, is how you manifest what you want in your business and life.

You’ve got this. I’m challenging you to try this for the next 90 days and watch the magic unfold. ✨ I believe in you, and I know you’re going to crush it. 💪

P.S. If this resonated with you, share this email or podcast with a friend who needs that extra push too! 💌 The more, the merrier on this journey! 🚀

107: Your Ultimate Reframe When Facing Challenges in Business & Life

Mon, 16 Sep 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Have you ever met someone who can take any bad situation (even really bad situations!) and turn them positive?

Like... let's say the Starbucks drive-through line is taking forever, and they just sit there, zen and calm and at peace, while most people are pulling out their hair?

Ever wonder HOW they do it? It's about reframing. They are able to take that situation and make it mean something different! Instead of getting mad about the wait, they just stay excited about their iced cup of caffeine!

So, in today's Do Life Big podcast, I'm sharing with you the The Ultimate Reframe for Life’s Challenges!

Here’s the thing: whenever life tries to throw you a curveball (and if you are a living, breathing human, then there is no way around it - it WILL!), I want you to ask yourself these TWO questions:

What is this preparing me for?
What is this trying to teach me?

These two simple questions have the power to totally shift your perspective!

They can help you stop feeling like life’s happening TO you and instead understand that it's happening FOR you!

Write these down, stick ‘em on your mirror, and let them guide you through ANY rough patch like the boss you are!

Ready for More? Let’s Take It to the Next Level!

Hey, it's almost that time of year again!

My 100% FREE Unleash Your Business Potential workshop is coming up on October 3rd at 11 AM EST!

106: Flip the Script to Overcome Fear & Seize Business Opportunities (PLUS My Personal Story)

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 05:00:00 -0400

I’m SO pumped you’re here! 💥

Today’s Do Life Big Podcast episode is all about flipping the script on fear and grabbing those golden opportunities with both hands! I’m going to get personal and share how I was caught up in a fear spiral recently and how I managed to flip it around — and trust me, YOU can too.

Let me set the scene: My son, Landon (he’s 12), is gearing up for a school trip to Tennessee (cue mom freak-out 😱). Now, he’s never been a fan of sleepovers or being away from home, so as you can imagine, I was nervous. My brain was doing cartwheels, thinking of ALL the things that could go wrong… Can you relate? You start spiraling, imagining the worst, right? Ugh!

But here’s the kicker: I realized this was just my mind playing tricks on me. Fear, after all, is nothing but a made-up story of what could happen. I knew it was time to flip the script. ✨

Think about it: How many times have we let fear stop us from chasing a dream, opening a door, or taking that bold step? What if, instead of imagining the worst, we imagined the BEST? What if we focused all our energy on what could go RIGHT? 🔥

🚪 Imagine fear as a door you’re too scared to open, but what if instead, it was an automatic door? You step up, and whoosh it flies open, revealing everything you’ve ever wanted, waiting for you to grab it! Sounds amazing, right?

So here’s my challenge to YOU: let’s flip that script! Next time fear tries to stop you, picture that automatic door opening wide and leading you to something incredible. 🚀

And hey, speaking of incredible… I wanted to let you know that the doors to my Mindset Accelerator Program are opening soon! 🎉 If you're ready to break through your fears and take your business to the next level with confidence, you won’t want to miss this.

✨ JOIN THE MINDSET ACCELERATOR HERE

Let’s do this together! 💪 Drop your name on the list, and you’ll be the FIRST to know when the program goes live.

We’re not letting fear win this time. It’s time to take charge and step into everything you’ve been dreaming of. You’ve got this, and I’m right here cheering you on! 🎉

Here’s to flipping the script and DOING LIFE BIG! 🚀✨

105: 75 Hard Update & How to Quiet Your Inner Critic to Take Action Toward Your Dreams

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 05:00:00 -0400

What’s up? I hope you’re ready to take on the day like the powerhouse you are! I’m absolutely pumped to share something exciting with you today, and I just couldn’t wait to let you in on it.

First things first—mark your calendar because my Mindset Accelerator Program (yep, the one that transforms your mental game) is gearing up to open its doors very soon! 🗓️ But here’s the deal—this isn’t one of those “sign up whenever” things. Nope! I only open the doors a few times a year, and when I do, they’re only open for a hot minute. ⚡️ So if you want to be one of the first to know when the doors swing open, head over to mindsetaccelerator.com and pop in your email. You’ll be the first to get the scoop! 📬 And hey, if you’ve got a friend who could use a serious mindset boost, share the love and pass this along.

Now, let me fill you in on something pretty wild—my journey with 75 Hard! If you’ve been following along, you know this program is all about developing mental toughness, discipline, and finding out just how far you can push yourself. We’re talking 75 days of straight-up grit. 😤

Here’s the rundown:

Two workouts a day (one of them outside)—I’ve been rocking a 45-minute beach walk every morning with a 12-pound weighted vest, and it’s been awesome! 🌊
Drink a gallon of water—flush out those toxins! 💧
Stick to a nutrition plan—I’m all about high-protein and veggies, no fried food, no sweets, and definitely no alcohol (that’s the toughie for me)! 🍗🥦
10 minutes of reading every day—keeping that mind sharp. 📚
Daily progress pics—gotta document the journey! 📸

Let me tell you, I’m on day 5, and last night was a serious test of willpower. Nick and I have this tradition of going out for date night—usually, it’s drinks at our favorite bar, but this time... no drinks. 😳 We walked into our favorite sushi place, and let me tell you, I felt every bit of that temptation. But we stuck to our guns, ordered some sushi, and called it a night. (Though there was a crazy moment with a rogue sushi roll and a piece of plastic—don’t even get me started! 😱)

Honestly, it’s these early days of forming new habits that are the toughest. Everything we do seems to revolve around a drink in hand, but hey, I’m all about embracing the challenge! 💪 I’ve already noticed I’m feeling clearer, more focused, and just overall... better. So, I’m curious to see how this journey unfolds.

But here’s the thing—I’m not cutting out alcohol for life. Nope, that’s just not me. But this challenge? It’s about proving to myself that I can do hard things. And I know you can too!!!

You know, the one that loves to throw doubts our way just when we're about to chase our dreams? We’re getting real about how to quiet that voice and take bold action towards the life we want. Whether it’s starting a new habit, kicking old ones, or just finding the courage to go after your biggest goals, this episode is all about helping you push past the self-doubt and do life BIG.

So, if you’re ready for some real talk, a few laughs, and a lot of motivation, hit play and let’s dive in together!

104: Something is Always Better Than Nothing & Preventing Overwhelm When Starting Something New

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 17:00:00 -0400

I'm so pumped to have you back for another episode of Do Life Big! Today’s episode is going to be short, sweet, and packed with some serious value. I decided to record this one after I announced that my husband and I are starting the 75 Hard Program. If you haven’t caught that bonus episode, go listen to #103 first!

So, here’s the deal. Lately, I’ve been hearing from so many of you who are feeling overwhelmed, trying to juggle all the things—kids, work, health, you name it. It’s easy to get caught up in that all-or-nothing mentality, where if we can’t do it all, we end up doing nothing. But let me tell you, it doesn’t have to be that way!

That’s why today, I’m sharing 5 simple ways to protect your inner peace, especially when life gets chaotic:

Start Small: Forget the all-or-nothing mentality. Just start with one tiny change—like drinking more water or moving your body a little each day. Something is always better than nothing.
Pair New Habits with Old Ones: Got a good habit already? Use it to build a new one! If you drink tea every night, why not use that time to read a book or listen to something uplifting?
Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Life isn’t going to go exactly as planned, and that’s okay! Celebrate the small wins, no matter how tiny they seem.
Live in the Gain, Not the Gap: Stop comparing yourself to where you think you should be. Instead, focus on how far you’ve come and celebrate the progress you've made.
Surround Yourself with Positivity: Whether it’s a supportive Facebook group (like ours!), uplifting podcasts, or daily affirmations, fill your life with things that lift you up.

We’ve got to ditch that all-or-nothing mindset and start embracing the little wins. So grab your cup of tea, and let’s get into how you can start making those small but mighty changes that will keep your inner peace intact.

Can’t wait for you to hear this one! Let’s do life big, together. ✨

Bonus Episode: How Committing to a Challenge Can Help you Reach New Levels in Your Life

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 09:30:00 -0400

SURPRISE! 🎉 A Bonus Do Life Big Podcast Episode for you because... 🥁 I’m about to drop something BIG on you! 🤩

I just got back from the most insane, mind-blowing event ever. I’m talking about some deep, soul-searching, kick-your-own-ass type of stuff. I mean, seriously, I’m still feeling the energy from it, and it’s got me all fired up! 🔥

But first, let me hit you with a little backstory. I went into this event knowing it was going to be intense, but I wasn’t prepared for just how transformative it would be. We dug deep, and I mean REALLY deep, to uncover those hidden blocks that have been holding us back from going after what we truly want in life. It was raw, it was real, and it was life-changing.

Now, here’s where things get wild. As much as I was all in, life decided to throw a curveball my way. Right before the event, my beloved dog, Callie, who has been battling a tumor for two years, took a turn for the worse. Long story short, I had to say goodbye to her while I was thousands of miles away. It was heartbreaking, but it also sparked something in me—a determination to push through, to not let anything hold me back. And that’s exactly what I did.

Which brings me to this... I’m starting a challenge, and I’m going all out. And I’m not doing this alone. I want YOU to join me! 🚀

Here’s the deal: This challenge is going to be about facing those fears, breaking down those walls, and just freaking going for it—no holding back, no excuses, and absolutely no weak-ass b*tch behavior allowed. We’re going to take on this challenge together, support each other, and kick some serious ass. 💥

And the best part? It’s totally FREE. No strings attached, no sales pitch, just pure, unfiltered motivation and a whole lot of ass-kicking energy. 😎

So, are you in? Are you ready to step up and join me on this wild ride? If you’re feeling even the slightest bit curious or fired up, join the 75-Day Challenge With Me: kathireuter.com/75 and let’s do this! 💪

Challenge starts on August 26th! We’re going to make some serious moves and prove that nothing can stand in our way. Let’s freaking GO! 💪🔥

102: 7 Tips to Reduce Stress in Your Life

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big!

Today, I'm diving into something we all deal with—stress. With the kids back in school and summer flying by, I figured it was the perfect time to share some practical tips for handling stress effectively. 🌟

So, let’s talk about stress. It’s something we can’t avoid, but how we manage it can make all the difference. I recently heard about a fascinating study linking how we view stress to our longevity. Turns out, those who see stress as a normal part of life and learn to manage it tend to live longer than those who try to avoid it.

Here are seven tips to help you reduce stress in your life:

1. Breathe Deeply 🌬️ When stress hits, take a moment to focus on your breathing. Deep breaths can slow your heart rate and calm your mind. Try it first thing in the morning or even during your shower—just five to seven deep breaths can make a difference.

2. Practice Gratitude 🙏 Shift your focus from what’s stressing you out to what you’re thankful for. What you focus on grows, so paying attention to your blessings can really shift your mindset.

3. Take a Walk 🚶‍♀️Step outside and get some fresh air, even if it’s just for 10 minutes. Being in nature helps lower your cortisol levels and gives you a break from what’s stressing you.

4. Write It Out ✍️ Got a million thoughts swirling in your head? Write them down. Putting your worries on paper can make them seem more manageable and help you find solutions more easily.

5. Watch Your Caffeine Intake ☕ Caffeine can speed up your heart rate and increase stress. If you notice stress peaking after a coffee or energy drink, it might be time to cut back or switch to a less stimulating option.

6. Laugh It Off 😂 Put on a comedy show or call a friend who always makes you laugh. Laughter lowers cortisol and releases endorphins—those feel-good chemicals in your brain.

7. Listen to Calming Music 🎶 Create a playlist of soothing tunes to help you unwind. Slow, calming music can be a great tool to bring some peace to your day.

I hope these tips help you manage stress better. I’d love to hear what strategies you use to handle stress.

101: How to Stop Overthinking in Your Business

Mon, 12 Aug 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Hey there, friends! 🎙️ Welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big. I’m thrilled to have you here with me today.

Can you believe it? The kids are heading back to school, and summer’s slipping away faster than ever. Maybe you're feeling the same if you’ve got little ones of your own.

Today, I’m diving into a topic that’s been on my mind lately—how to stop overthinking in your business! 🧠💭

Have you ever found yourself caught in a loop, endlessly analyzing a decision and getting nowhere? 🤔

I totally get it. I’ve been there too! 😵‍💫 I’m sharing a personal story about a time I was paralyzed by overthinking in my own business transition. I knew I needed to pivot away from my health and fitness business into something new, but I was stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and "what ifs." 😓

So, how do we break free from this cycle and move from overthinking to taking action? I’m laying out five steps to help you shift gears:

Become Aware 🕵️‍♀️: Notice when you’re overthinking. Just being aware of it can help you start breaking the cycle.
Write It Down 📝: Grab a pen and paper and get those swirling thoughts out of your head and onto paper. It helps clear your mind and see things more clearly.
Prioritize Tasks ✅: Make a list of the top three to five tasks you need to focus on each day. Prioritizing helps reduce overwhelm and keeps you moving forward.
Trust Your Intuition 💫: Learn to listen to that inner voice. Trust your judgment and let it guide your decisions, rather than getting bogged down by what-ifs.
Delegate Responsibilities 🙌 : Don’t try to do everything yourself. Delegate tasks so you can focus on what you do best and keep your business moving.

Let’s stop overcomplicating things and start taking action today! 🚀 And if you haven’t yet, check out my free 60-second quiz to discover your entrepreneurial persona type and get tailored steps to level up your business. Head over to kathiuter.com/quiz to take the quiz now! 🎉

099: How to Surrender and Let Go of Fear

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 05:01:00 -0400

Welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big!

I'm recording this live right now from our mountain home in North Carolina. 🏔️ We just got here the other day, and we’re all excited to spend three weeks soaking up nature, hiking, ziplining, and just unwinding.

My favorite part? Sitting on the deck at night with a drink in hand, 🍷 listening to the stream in the backyard under a sky full of stars. 🌌 It’s such a peaceful contrast to Florida’s hustle and bustle.

Today’s episode is all about surrendering and letting go of fear. 😌 It's funny how when you surrender, it becomes easier to let go of fear, and vice versa. If you’re someone who’s always trying to control every detail and force things to happen your way, this episode is for you.

Do you ever find yourself fighting so hard to make things happen, only to realize it shouldn’t be this hard? 😣 I remember a few years ago, we were trying to buy our first investment property here in North Carolina. I was obsessed with this one log cabin. We put in an offer, but the owner wouldn’t budge on the price. I tried everything, even writing him a heartfelt letter, but nothing worked. 💌 It wasn’t until I decided to let go and trust that the right house would come along that things started to shift.

About two weeks later, we found two perfect log cabins. 🏡 We put in an offer, and it was accepted as is, totally furnished. It was so easy and seamless, which was a stark contrast to the struggle with the first cabin. When you let go of control and surrender to what is, life can surprise you in the best ways. ✨

So, what are you fighting in your life right now? What fears are holding you back? It could be money, relationships, health—anything. Fighting these fears only takes away your peace of mind. Surrendering doesn’t mean giving up; it means accepting what is. 🧘‍♀️ It’s about understanding that you can’t control everything and being at peace with that.

Next time you feel the urge to control every detail, take a step back. Accept what is, take a deep breath, and let go. 🌿 Remember, everything by my divine right comes to me today in perfect order. Focus on what you can control and let the rest unfold naturally.

098: Tips to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 05:00:00 -0400

In today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, we're tackling a big one: how to stop playing the comparison game.

You know the drill – we all fall into this trap, especially with social media constantly in our faces. But here's the kicker: comparison is the thief of joy.

We’ve all been there, scrolling through Instagram and suddenly feeling less than because someone else's life looks perfect. But remember, it's just a highlight reel, not the full story. I shared a personal story about seeing these picture-perfect moments online and thinking, "Who has the time for this?" 🤔

It’s important to keep in mind that what we see isn't always reality.

Tony Robbins said it best: your life’s quality depends on three decisions you make every second of every day: what you focus on, what it means, and what you're going to do about it.

So let’s dive into some conscious steps to break free from comparison:

1️⃣ Act the way you want to feel: Even if it feels forced, faking it till you make it can help rewire your brain. 🌟
2️⃣ Get to work: Comparison often means you're not focusing on your own tasks. Head down, hustle up! 💪
3️⃣ Identify triggers: Ask yourself what specifically made you feel jealous. There’s usually something deeper to address.🕵️‍♀️
4️⃣ Measure progress by how far you've come: Instead of focusing on where you think you should be, celebrate the distance you've already covered. 🎉

Remember, comparison only hinders your growth. Let’s shift our energy towards creating a life filled with abundance and joy!

097: Tips to Overcome People Pleasing

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 06:00:00 -0400

You know, I’ve been in this weird phase of overthinking and overanalyzing everything. It started about five years ago when my dad almost died from AML, and more recently, knowing several people my age who've passed away from illnesses or cancer. It’s made me rethink a lot about life and how I’ve spent so much of it trying to please others.

Growing up, I always tried to please everyone around me. This has been especially challenging over the last decade, but I’ve put so much effort into overcoming it. Even though I like to call myself a recovering people pleaser, those tendencies still creep up sometimes.

People-pleasing is wired into us, partly due to societal norms. For girls, it's about being polite and looking your best. For guys, it's about being tough and not showing sensitivity. These ingrained beliefs shape our behavior and our need to be accepted and liked by others.

The thing is, people-pleasing isn't just about wanting everyone to like you. It’s about feeling the need to act a certain way to feel safe. And that’s exhausting. So, today, I want to share some tips to help you overcome this. Here are six tips to work through people-pleasing:

Get a therapist or counselor to talk to. 🧠 Smart people have a therapist, and it’s a great starting point.
Become aware of when you're prioritizing others' needs over your own. 🧘‍♂️ Just recognizing this behavior is a huge step forward.
Practice saying “no” without guilt. 🚫 This was a hard one for me, but it’s crucial to set boundaries and not feel bad about it.
Do something that fills your cup and makes you happy. 🌟 Whether it’s a hobby or self-care, reinforcing your own needs is important.
Practice speaking up with confidence. 📢 It might be uncomfortable at first, but the more you do it, the easier it gets.
Challenge any negative thoughts or beliefs. 🌈 You can download my free workbook, Think This, Not That, at kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat to help rewire your brain and replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

096: 4 Powerful Ways to Break Free from Stress and Be More Present

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 05:00:00 -0400

💡 I’m diving into something really important: how to be more present in our lives.

You know, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, stressing about bills, deadlines, and all those things that pull us away from enjoying the present moment.

But why do we let that happen?

Why do we let stress and worry steal our joy?

Imagine fast-forwarding 30 years from now. You’ve achieved every goal, every dream. But what would you trade to be back here, right now, enjoying this moment fully? That’s the essence of today’s Do Life Big Podcast episode.

I’ve identified four powerful ways to help you break free from distractions and overwhelm, and truly be present:

Sensory Awareness Exercise 🌳👂: Take a moment to sit outside or in a quiet place. Engage each of your senses for just 30 seconds: What do you see? Hear? Feel? Smell? Taste? It’s a simple but effective way to ground yourself in the present.
Breath Work 🌬️: Practice deep breathing throughout your day. Whether it’s in the shower, during a walk, or just before bed, focusing on your breath helps calm your mind and brings you back to the here and now.
Journaling 📝: Grab a journal and ask yourself, “What’s getting in the way of me being present?” Write down your thoughts. It’s amazing how clarifying your thoughts on paper can help you prioritize what truly matters.
Digital Detox 📵🌿: Disconnect from technology, even if just for a few minutes each day. Step outside, observe nature, and let your mind rest from constant stimulation. It’s refreshing and helps you appreciate the simple things.

By making these practices part of your daily routine, you’ll feel more grounded, more present, and ultimately happier. Remember, life is happening right now, in this moment. Let’s make the most of it.

095: How to See Things as They Really Are

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 05:00:00 -0400

In this short and sweet Do Life Big Podcast episode, we’re diving into how we can start to think more clearly and get to the truth of what's really happening, rather than living in a distorted reality full of made-up stories that keep us trapped and feeling like victims. 🚫🧠

Have you ever found yourself interpreting something someone said in a way that made you feel awful, only to later realize that wasn’t what they meant at all? 🤔 I definitely have!

Let me tell you a story from when I was a new teacher.

I remember teaching a lesson and getting observed by my principal. Afterward, he gave me constructive criticism, but in my mind, I twisted it into thinking he believed I was a terrible teacher. That wasn’t the truth at all—it was just a story I made up. 😬📚

We do this all the time. We create these narratives that aren’t based on facts, and they keep us from living our truth and finding freedom. It’s like being inside a jar and not being able to read the label. 🏷️

We need to pull ourselves out, look objectively, and ask, "What’s really happening here?" 🌟

Here are some key points we discussed:

Distorted Reality: We often interpret events and comments in a way that isn’t true, creating false narratives in our minds. 🌀
Objective Perspective: It's crucial to step back and look at situations objectively, asking ourselves what the real facts are. 🔍
Ego Interference: Our ego can cloud our judgment, making us feel inadequate or misunderstood. Learning to quiet our ego helps us see the truth. 🤐
Freedom in Truth: By seeking the truth and questioning our thoughts, we can free ourselves from unnecessary suffering and live more authentically. 🕊️

Next time you feel triggered or upset, ask yourself: Is it what someone actually said, or how I interpreted it? What are the facts? This practice of questioning our thoughts and looking for the truth takes effort, but it’s so worth it. The truth really does set us free. 💡

Remember, no one’s perfect, but we’re all here to improve and be the best versions of ourselves. And hey, if you haven’t grabbed my free Think This, Not That workbook, head over to kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat. It’s packed with ways to rewire your mind for success. 📘✨

094: There's No Such Thing as "The Right Time"

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big! I am beyond excited to have you here today. This episode is all about the myth of waiting for the "right time." I can’t wait to dive into this because it's been a recurring theme in my life lately, and I know many of you can relate.

We often convince ourselves that it’s just not the right time to make a big move—whether it’s starting a business, making a career pivot, or pursuing a passion. We come up with endless reasons to wait.

But let’s be real: this is just a way to procrastinate. Our brains are wired to keep us safe, which often means avoiding risk and the potential for failure.

Think about it. How many times have you talked yourself out of something because you were afraid of what might happen if it didn’t work out? Fear of failure, fear of judgment from others—these are powerful deterrents.

But here’s the thing: you don’t want to look back on your life with regrets, wondering what could have been.

I’ve known three people my age who have passed away in the last couple of years. It’s a stark reminder that life is unpredictable and short. This makes it even more crucial to seize the moment.

You have to challenge that inner voice that’s holding you back. Instead of feeding yourself excuses about why now isn't the right time, why not tell yourself why now is the best time? Every moment, our minds are creating stories. Let’s create ones that propel us forward.

Sure, it’s scary to leave a secure job or start something new, but remember, everyone starts from the beginning. Those successful people you admire? They felt the fear too—they just did it anyway. They trusted the process and believed things would work out.

So, my challenge to you is to start telling yourself a new story. One that says, “Now is the right time.”

Take that first step, even if it’s small. Trust that you can figure it out as you go. Don’t wait for the perfect moment—it doesn’t exist.

If this resonates with you, check out my free workbook, Think This, Not That. It’s packed with tools to help you rewire your mind for success. Go to kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat to grab your copy.

093: Ditching Perfectionism: The Road to Six-Figure Success

Mon, 27 May 2024 05:00:00 -0400

I hope you’re having an awesome day! 🌟

Today’s Do Life Big Podcast episode is especially for my fellow online entrepreneurs who are stuck in the perfectionism-procrastination trap and feeling stuck at an income plateau. Sound familiar? 🤔

I get it. I've been there!!!

Back when I started my first business in network marketing, I had no idea what I was doing. Zero social media presence, no clue about online business – nothing! I just needed to make a few hundred bucks a week to stay home with my kids... 👶👶

Looking back, it’s painful to see how unpolished my early posts and videos were. 😬

But guess what? That’s exactly what helped me grow. I had no time to perfect anything. I just had to get stuff done.

In this episode, I share my journey from feeling like a complete newbie to building a multiple-six-figure business. I talk about how my need for this business to succeed overrode my fear of imperfection.

The more I put myself out there, the more confidence I built – not the other way around. Confidence comes from action, from all the rejections, the failures, and the learning opportunities.

🔄 I’ll dive into the vicious cycle of perfectionism and procrastination.

Do you rewrite posts multiple times and still never hit publish? ✍️❌

Or constantly jump from one idea to the next without fully executing any?

You’re not alone. This pattern keeps so many entrepreneurs stuck below the six-figure mark. 🚫💰

Breaking this cycle requires retraining your brain. 🧠

It’s more than just reading self-help books or listening to motivational podcasts. It’s about addressing the root cause of your income plateau and rewiring your mindset for success. I’ve seen this work not just for me, but for hundreds of women I’ve coached. ✨

To help you further, I’m hosting a FREE Live Training on May 30th at 11 am EST. 🗓️

I’ll share my five-step reframe framework to rewire your brain for success and breakthrough that six-figure barrier. You can register at http://kathireutertraining.com/joinunleash – it’s completely free! 🎉

Join me in this training to learn how to avoid burnout, grow your business without sacrificing time with loved ones, and finally achieve the income you deserve. I can’t wait to see you there!!! 🚀💖

091: Unlocking Your Happiness Potential

Mon, 13 May 2024 05:00:00 -0400

In today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, we’re diving into something I know we all want more of – happiness! 😊

Yep, this episode is all about unlocking your happiness potential. Who doesn’t want to be happier, right? I’m sure you’re here because you want more happiness, gratitude, and peace in your life. But how do we actually get there?

So, let me take you back to my college days. I studied positive psychology and absolutely loved learning about how our brains work when it comes to happiness. There’s a ton of research out there on this, and I’m super excited to share some of it with you.

💡 First off, did you know that happiness is totally subjective?

What makes me happy might not be the same for you, and that’s okay. But there are some universal truths we can all use to boost our happiness. Here’s what I want you to know:

1. Practice Daily Gratitude: This one’s a game-changer. Keep a gratitude journal by your bed and jot down three things you’re grateful for every morning. It can be something big or small, like a beautiful sunset or a kind gesture from a friend. This simple habit can rewire your brain to focus on the good stuff.

2. Cultivate Positive Relationships: Surround yourself with people who lift you up. It’s not about having a ton of friends, but having a few deep, meaningful connections. These relationships can seriously boost your happiness and even help you live longer!

3. Choose Happiness: This might sound cliché, but it’s true – you have to choose to be happy. Happiness isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment; it’s about finding joy in the now. Make a deliberate effort to find the silver lining in every situation.

4. Focus on Your Internal State: Remember, happiness comes from within. It’s not about external factors like money or status. You can be happy right now, regardless of what’s happening around you.

And get this – there’s actual science behind this!

Studies show that when you’re happy, your brain lights up in areas like the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, which helps you make better decisions and feel less fear and anxiety. How cool is that?

Now, let’s talk about the power of gratitude again because it’s just that important.

Gratitude can literally change your life. When you start your day focusing on what you’re thankful for, you set a positive tone for everything else. It’s like a ripple effect of goodness.

So, ask yourself, is it important for you to be happier in this life?

If you’re nodding your head right now, then start with these simple tips. And don’t forget, I’ve got a free “Think This Not That” workbook that can help you replace negative thoughts with positive ones. You can grab it at kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat.

090: Two Tips for Overcoming Comfort Zone Challenges

Mon, 06 May 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Today's Do Life Big Podcast episode is packed with insights to help you break free from your comfort zone and take those crucial risks to pursue your dreams. 🚀

If you've ever found yourself stuck in analysis paralysis, unable to take action towards your goals, this one's for you!

Before we dive in, don't forget to check out my FREE 60-second quiz at kathireuter.com/quiz. It's designed to reveal your entrepreneurial persona type and guide you toward your next breakthrough in business. Trust me, it's worth it! 🎉

Alright, let's get into it.

Picture this: you know exactly what you need to do to create the life you want, but you're not fully committing.

Sound familiar?

We often find ourselves at a crossroads, torn between staying in our comfort zone or making the bold decision to change our lives for the better. 🛤️

Here's the deal: every decision we make boils down to opportunity versus obligation. Our brains are wired to keep us safe and comfortable, but that can hold us back from achieving our full potential. It's a constant battle between the desire for growth and the fear of discomfort. 💪

So, how do we overcome this hurdle? The two tips for overcoming comfort zone challenges are:

Shift your focus from obligation to opportunity: Instead of dwelling on the negatives, envision the positive outcomes awaiting you on the other side of your comfort zone. Whether it's building a successful business or prioritizing your health, keep your eye on the prize and embrace the discomfort as a necessary step toward your goals. 🌟
Remember your why: When things get tough, always go back to why you started in the first place. Your initial motivation will fuel your journey and keep you going when the going gets tough. 🔥

Remember, the path of least resistance isn't the path to greatness. You have to be willing to put in the work and make the tough decisions to create the life you truly desire. And when things get tough, always go back to why you started in the first place. Your initial motivation will fuel your journey and keep you going when the going gets tough. 🔥

089: Why Personal Development Isn't Enough to Get the Growth You're Searching For

Mon, 29 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big! Today, let's dive into a topic that's close to my heart: why just soaking up personal development isn't enough to propel you forward in life and business. 🚀

From my years of coaching entrepreneurs and now guiding people to reprogram their thinking, I've noticed a common trap: getting lost in consuming content without taking action. It's easy to fall into the pattern of reading, listening, and attending seminars, hoping for change, but real growth happens when we apply what we learn. 💡

Think about it 🤔: when was the last time you took a concept from a book or podcast and immediately applied it to your life or business?

That's where the magic happens.

It's not about passively absorbing information; it's about taking inspired action, even when it feels uncomfortable. 🌟

Sure, it's tempting to wait for the perfect moment or solution, but life doesn't wait. The key is to take one nugget of wisdom and put it into practice every day. That's how you bridge the gap between knowledge and transformation. 🔗

Remember, life itself is your greatest teacher. Every challenge is an opportunity to apply what you've learned.

So, next time you consume self-help content, ask yourself: what's one thing I can do right now to move forward? 🤔

Combine learning with action, and watch your life transform. And if you're ready to reprogram your mindset for success, check out my free workbook "Think This Not That" at kathieuter.com/thinkthisnotthat. 💭

Remember, you're awesome! 👋

088: Letting Go of the Past to Embrace Confidence & Fulfillment

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big. I'm absolutely buzzing from this incredible event I just attended in Phoenix, Arizona. Seriously, surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals is a game-changer. But let's dive into something I noticed at the event, something that affects us all: the weight of our past. ⚖️

As a mindset coach, I see how clinging to past failures holds people back from true happiness and fulfillment.

Picture this: 200 entrepreneurs, each carrying the heavy baggage of past mistakes, criticisms, and self-doubt. It's a common theme, right?

But here's the kicker—it's not just entrepreneurs; it's everyone.

I met folks who, despite their success, were battling health issues, lacking trust in themselves, and seeking validation from others.

Sound familiar? Maybe you've been there too.

But guess what? You're not alone, and you can break free from this cycle.

Here are the three steps I learned at the event—and they're absolute game-changers:

Step 1: Awareness
First up, recognize the weight you're carrying. Whether it's an old wound, a harsh comment, or a past failure, acknowledge it. Awareness is the key that unlocks the door to change. 👁️
Step 2: Compassion
Instead of beating yourself up, show yourself some love. Understand that you are not defined by your past. Embrace self-compassion and let go of the need for perfection. ❤️
Step 3: Gratitude
Shift your perspective. Rather than blaming your past, thank it. Every obstacle you've overcome has made you stronger and wiser. See your past as a teacher, guiding you toward growth and abundance. 🙏

Remember, you have the power to rewrite your story. So, let go of what weighs you down, and step into your confidence and purpose. You've got this!

If this resonates with you, share it with a friend. And don't forget to grab my free Think This Not That workbook at kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat. You're amazing, and I appreciate you. Until next time, keep shining bright! ✨

087: Transforming Self-Talk For Your Best Life

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0400

We just got back from the incredible cruise on the wonder of the seas, Royal Caribbean. And it was so much fun, we had such a blast with the family and all of our friends. And now it's back to the grind. Today's Do Life Big Podcast episode is all about transforming our self-talk for a better life.

Today, we're talking about how to change the way we speak to ourselves. Why? Because it's crucial for living our best lives.

Think about it—how do you talk to yourself internally? Are you constantly criticizing, replaying failures, and beating yourself up? It's time to change that narrative.

Self-love is the key to building confidence, and confidence is what drives us towards our goals. It's like a Jenga tower—if we keep pulling out negative blocks, it'll eventually collapse. But when we add positivity, we strengthen our foundation.

How we talk to ourselves affects everything—our actions, our confidence, even how others perceive us. Imagine greeting yourself with the same kindness you'd show a friend in need.

Comparison is another joy thief. Social media can make us feel inadequate, but remember, where you are now is where you start. It's harder to take action when you're feeling down, so let's change the script.

You deserve daily affirmations, that positive voice cheering you on. It can be you—you're the main character in your life story. Start noticing your self-talk patterns, and shift towards positivity.

Remember, what you focus on, you attract. So let's shift our focus to the good stuff. Create your 'awesome list'—celebrate your wins, your strengths, everything that makes you, you.

By changing how we talk to ourselves, we can change the course of our lives. So, let's start this journey together!

085: Transforming Fear into Action for Your Best Life

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Happy April! Wow. Time flies so fast, isn't it? We're already in Quarter 2!!! 🤯

Do you ever find yourself held back by fear and self-doubt, stopping you from pursuing your dreams? Well, you're not alone. 🤝 In fact, I've been there myself, and I'm here to help you break free from those limiting beliefs.

We all tend to think that successful people are fearless, but the truth is, they feel fear too. The key difference is they choose to push through it and take action anyway. It's time to stop letting fear dictate our lives and start living to our fullest potential.

🤔 Think about it: how many times have you held back from doing something because you were afraid of failure or worried about what others might think? It's time to silence those negative voices and start focusing on all the incredible possibilities that could unfold if you took that leap of faith.

I want you to grab a pen and paper and make a list of all the things that could go right if you pursued your dreams. Visualize your success and let that vision drive you forward. Because the truth is, the only thing holding you back is yourself.

Let me share a personal story with you. When I started my first business, I was drowning in debt and had no clue what I was doing. But instead of letting fear paralyze me, I chose to believe in myself and my vision. And you know what? Within a year, I was running a six-figure business from home, all while being there for my kids.

🚀 So here's my challenge to you: embrace fear as a sign that you're on the right track.

Use it as fuel to propel you towards your goals. Because when you step outside your comfort zone, that's where the magic happens.

If you're ready to rewire your mind for success and unleash your full potential, be sure to check out my free workbook, "Think This, Not That." Remember, now is the time to go big or go home. So let's do this together!

Now, let's dive into today's Do Life Big Podcast episode. This is a short but sweet episode.

Have you ever felt intimidated by those who seem light years ahead of you on their journey? Maybe you've hesitated to connect with them, thinking you're not quite ready yet. Well, I've been there, and let me tell you, it's a common misstep. 😬

Here's the thing 💭 you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So, if you're not surrounding yourself with individuals who challenge, inspire, and uplift you, you're limiting your own growth. It's like putting the brakes on your dreams.

💡 But here's the good news: those who have already achieved what you aspire to were once beginners, just like you. By immersing yourself in their circle, you'll accelerate your learning curve and avoid unnecessary pitfalls. Trust me, it's a game-changer. 🚀

I know it can be daunting, but pushing past that discomfort is where the magic happens. Remember, if it makes you feel like you're going to throw up, you're probably onto something worth pursuing. And as you expose yourself to these influential individuals, not only will your confidence soar, but so will your opportunities. 💪

So, here's your challenge: think of one thing you've been hesitant to pursue because you felt unworthy or unqualified. Then, take that leap anyway. Surround yourself with the right people who will cheer you on, and watch how your life, your business, and even your bank account transform. 💰

Remember, you're capable of achieving incredible things. You've got this! 👊💥

082: Unleashing Potential: The All-In Approach to Business Growth

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Hey there, welcome back to another exciting episode of Do Life Big! I'm thrilled you're here. But before we dive in, I've got some fantastic news.

This coming March 13 and 14, I'll be hosting a free workshop called Unleash Your Business Potential. If you're an entrepreneur aiming for six or seven figures, struggling with income plateaus, or just starting out, this is for you. Head over to kathireuter.com/unleash to reserve your spot—it's going to be game-changing!

Now, let's get into today's episode. We're tackling a crucial question: Are you truly going all-in on your business?

I've seen a pattern among entrepreneurs: the ones who soar versus those who struggle. It boils down to mindset and commitment. How do you talk to yourself about your business? Are you wishy-washy, hoping it works out? Or do you declare, "This is happening, no plan B"?

Let's rewind to my early days as a newbie entrepreneur. I had no clue what I was doing, but I was crystal clear on one thing: there was no backup plan. I was all in because I had a burning why – to be there for my kids. And guess what? That mentality made all the difference.

Here's the deal: Your mindset shapes your outcome. If you're treating your business like a hobby, it'll yield hobby results. But if you're unwavering in your belief and commitment, magic starts to happen.

So, here are three keys to going all-in:

Watch your language. No wishy-washy words. Declare your success daily.
Ditch Plan B. Your business is the only option. Period.
Confidence comes from action. Take that first step, even if you're unsure.

Remember, it's not too late to crush it in 2024. Believe in yourself, commit fully, and watch your business soar. You've got this! Until next time, keep rocking!

076: Using the Power Of Your Mind 🧠 to Grow Your Income 💰

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0500

I totally get it. Grinding away, trying everything, but that stubborn plateau just won't budge. Been there, done that – stuck in the same frustrating cycle for over two years.

In today's Do Life Big Podcast, I want to share my journey, the mistakes I made, and the game-changing insights that finally propelled me forward.

Six years ago, my health and fitness business was soaring – a six-figure success story. Life was fantastic until, boom, hit a roadblock, an income plateau that felt impossible to conquer.

Why? Because I naively believed I was exempt from setbacks and failures. Oops. 🙈

Here's the first golden nugget: Prepare for the inevitable roadblocks and income plateaus. They're part of the entrepreneurial journey. Embrace them, learn from them, and use them as stepping stones to your next level. 🚀

But, here's where I went wrong. I thought I could hustle my way out of it – working longer hours, sacrificing sleep, doubling down on personal development. Yet, the breakthrough remained elusive.

The crucial lesson: Working harder won't always crack the code. It's about shifting your mindset. I found myself trapped by limiting beliefs, convincing myself I was a failure and not cut out for the success I envisioned.

So, here's the key takeaway: Your thoughts shape your reality. If you're stuck, it's time to rewire your thinking. Identify those limiting beliefs, challenge them, and rewrite your story.

To guide you through this journey, I've crafted a quick quiz at kathireuter.com/quiz. It's designed to pinpoint your entrepreneurial persona and guide you toward the next steps in your business. 🎯

Remember, you are capable, you are worthy, and your dream is within reach.

Don't let self-doubt hold you back. Change your thoughts, change your life, and watch your business soar. I believe in you, and I can't wait to see you crush those goals. Until next time, keep doing life big! 👊✨

073: How to Overcome Fear of Rejection

Mon, 15 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Welcome back to another heart-to-heart episode of Do Life Big! Today, I'm getting real about something that's probably touched all of us at some point – the fear of rejection.

🤔 Have you ever stopped to wonder why we carry this fear like an invisible weight? Well, I've been coaching for a good while now, and let me tell you, it's one of those things that can really hold us back.

So, in today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, I went deep into the layers of this fear.

Have you ever thought about the connection between rejection and acceptance?🤷‍♀️ Rejection is the opposite of acceptance, and at the end of the day, that's what we're all chasing. I even shared a bit of my own journey, a time when the fear of rejection made me compromise who I truly was just to fit in and be accepted.

But here's the thing – why do we crave acceptance so much? 🤔

It all boils down to not fully embracing and loving ourselves. We took a journey from a carefree childhood to the conditioned selves we've become, shaped by societal expectations and probably a lot of parental influence. The conflict arises because our true selves resist accepting what our conditioned selves have turned into.

🌟 Now, understanding all this is one thing, but what do we do about it?

Take a deep breath; change isn't an overnight gig. I encouraged you to be on a journey of self-discovery, to reconnect with the things that used to light up your world. It's about bridging the gap between the carefree kid you once were and the grown-up you've become.

And hey, this isn't a quick fix; it's a lifelong commitment to growth. I urged you to integrate joy and fun back into your life.

💖 Remember, the love and acceptance you're searching for from others? Turns out, that's what you truly want from yourself. So, put on your adventure hat, and let's tackle this fear together!

071: What Childhood Challenges Taught Me? (My Personal Journey)

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Happy New Year! 🥳

Today, I'm getting real about something we don't talk about enough – the challenges we faced as kids and how they shaped who we are today.

Have you ever seen someone successful and thought, "They've always had it easy"? We forget the hurdles they overcame.

So, let me peel back the layers of my past.

Surprise! I wasn't always the loud, confident person you know. As a kid, I was shy, got picked on, and battled self-doubt.

And it took me 30 years to realize I needed to work on myself!!! 😅

The secret sauce? I embraced all the discomfort and struggles I had! I was like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon. 🦋

In today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, I spill the tea on how I raised the bar for my friendships, upgraded my standards, and learned not everyone needs to like me. It's about being me and attracting the right vibes.

Personal growth turned me into a better mom, wife, friend, and entrepreneur. And guess what? The journey never ends. I roll with personal development, jam to inspiring content, and stay with those who uplift me. 🚀

Always remember these things:

Am I listening to things that make my mind better and make me feel good? 🎧
What am I reading? Am I reading things that help me grow and work through areas I need to improve? 📚
Am I watching things that are positive, inspiring, and give me that feel-good feeling? 📺
Who am I surrounding myself with? What are those conversations like? How do I feel after leaving those situations? 🤔

Your past isn't a burden; it's a gift. So, what challenges are you still working to overcome?💪

070: A Simple Life Hack for Everyday Joy

Mon, 25 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Happy Holidays, wonderful souls! 🌟

In today's episode of Do Life Big, I dove into a game-changer – a simple life hack for infusing everyday joy into our lives.

Ever find yourself overwhelmed, stressed, or just caught up in a wave of negative emotions? I get it; we're all human, and life's roller coaster can be a lot to handle. 🎢

In this episode, I spilled the beans on a simple life hack I learned from one of my mentors that transformed the way I navigate those tough moments.

🔍 Picture this: you're feeling stressed, and I challenged you to ask yourself, "What was the thought that caused me to feel this way?"

It's all about pinpointing those negative thoughts and, here's the kicker, replacing the 'I have to' with either 'I get to' or 'I choose to.' 🔄

📝 Here's a quick rundown of what I covered:

"I have to create all this content" becomes "I get to create all this content."
"I have to plan my project today" transforms into "I get to plan my project today."
"I have to prep all my meals" turns into "I get to prep all my meals."

It may seem small, but trust me, this shift in perspective, combined with a deep breath after each statement, is a total game-changer. ✨

The result? A calmer, more peaceful you, ready to take on the world with a positive mindset.

Don't forget to check in on yourself – you deserve that moment of self-care. 🌈

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Hey... How's your day? ☕

Me... I am fueled today by a massive cup of Starbucks coffee – trust me, I need it after my wild birthday weekend with my dog's unexpected escapade. But hey, I'm here with loads of energy and a story to share. 🎉

1. Commitment and Responsibility: I declared my words for 2024 – commitment, responsibility, and playing full out. It's about owning my vision, showing up messy, and taking charge of my journey. 💪

2. Embrace Imperfection: I committed to showing up messy until I found success. No fear of imperfections or setbacks – just learning, growing, and persisting. It's time to ditch those BS stories that hold us back! 🚫

Speaking of breakthroughs, I'll even spill the details of my own vision for 2024, so buckle up! We all have fears, but the choice is ours – focus on the vision or get lost in those limiting stories.

068: Three Lessons from Taylor Swift's Person of the Year Interview

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Just touched down from the most epic business event EVER – seriously, the best thing I've done in a decade! 🤩 And guess what? I wasn't flying solo! Over 900 entrepreneurs from every corner of the globe joined the fun.

Now, hold on tight... because today's Do Life Big Podcast episode is all about our queen, Taylor Swift! 💗

Can you believe it? Mind blown! 🤯

Any Swifties in the house? Or moms with Swiftie daughters? 🤭

So, I stumbled upon this interview where Taylor dropped some major wisdom bombs after snagging Person of the Year. 🏆 And let me tell you, the lessons are legit! But I'm not holding back – here are the TOP THREE takeaways:

Lesson #1: Be a storyteller.📚 Taylor's a pro at this. She spills the beans on her lows, not just the highs. Embrace your story, especially the messy parts. Your lows and struggles are relatable and powerful – they connect you with others, building trust, and inspiring them. Remember, your mess is your message. ✨
Lesson #2: Embrace the lows. Taylor says you gotta go through the downs to reach the ups. It's like a rollercoaster🎢 – can't enjoy the thrill without the crazy drops. So, don't let setbacks define your journey. Instead, view them as stepping stones to growth. Your breakthrough often follows the breakdown.
Lesson #3: Celebrate the journey. 🎉 We often forget to be grateful for where we are right now. Yeah, we dream about the future but take a sec to pat yourself on the back. You're on your own unique journey, and even in your current state, you're someone's inspiration.

There you have it – three rad lessons from Taylor Swift that you can totally rock in your life.

If you vibed with this chat, don't miss out on my free five-day vision goal-setting group starting Monday, December 18. We're gearing up for a killer 2024, and I want you on board.

Just hit up kathireuter.com/goals, sign up, and let's make the next year epic together. 🚀

067: How To Stop Feeling Overwhelmed

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0500

As we're cruising towards the end of the year and diving headfirst into the holiday madness, it's like life just cranks up the chaos, right?

Tech buzzing, responsibilities piling up, and that to-do list? Never seems to end. But here's the deal – it's not just messing with your head; it's doing a number on your body too. 😅

So, I spilled the beans on this latest Do Life Big Podcast episode. I spilled about my own journey figuring out that overwhelm isn't some external villain but more like our own thought drama playing on repeat. It's all about the stories we cook up in our minds. 🧠

And guess what? I also threw in some practical strategies to shake off that overwhelm:

🌬️ Breathe More: Seriously, take a few minutes each day to just focus on breathing. Give yourself a mini vacay, like two to three minutes, to kick back and just breathe.

🎯 One Thing at a Time: Master the art of zeroing in on one task at a time. Sort that to-do list and hit up one thing at a time for some A+ time management.

💼 Boss Decision-Making: Organize your to-do list by urgency. Tackle those must-do tasks today or in the next couple of days. Level up your prioritizing and decision-making game.

🚫 No More Juggling: Practice saying "No" to stuff that doesn't match your priorities. Don't drown in too many commitments – it's cool to keep it real and not take on the world.

😊 Do What Makes You Happy: Find stuff that brings you joy and sneak it into your day. Could be a hobby, a sport, or anything that gives your brain a breather.

📝 Write It Down: Instead of juggling everything in your noggin, jot down all the stressors. Helps you get those thoughts out, spot patterns, and take charge of the stress game.

So, if you're feeling the weight of overwhelm, give this episode a listen.

Remember, you're the boss of your story. Take a breath, sort your priorities, and focus on what truly lights you up. You're in control, and I believe in you! 🌟

066: Mastering 6 Life-Changing Decisions

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 05:30:00 -0500

Another week, new conversation you don't want to miss!

In today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, I'll dive into some of life's most pivotal decisions, and why mastering them is crucial. So, grab a cozy spot, and let's get into it!

🌟 Step 1: Who do you surround yourself with? Ever noticed how your vibe syncs with those you walk with? It's not just pace; your heart and breath align too.

🌎 Step 2: Where do you live? Is your current city a catalyst for growth? I made a life-altering move from Massachusetts to Florida, and it revolutionized everything. Ask yourself, is your environment propelling you toward your best self?

💑 Step 3: Big M -- Marriage. It's YOUR life; who you marry matters. Don't settle; find someone who fuels your growth. Nick and I have been married for 17 years because we're a team, supporting each other's journeys. What kind of partner do you envision?

💰 Step 4: Money Matters. Whether your passion is your paycheck or they're separate entities, choose wisely. Most divorces stem from money issues; sync up with your partner on financial goals. Are you doing something you love for a living?

👤 Step 5: Who do you want to be? Define your values and character traits. Reflect on what you want people to say about you when you're gone. It's not about achievements; it's about your essence. Write it down; let it guide you every day.

🌟 Step 6: Dedicate Your Life. What's your life's purpose? Don't just go through the motions – dedicate yourself to something meaningful. Whether it's family, business, or a cause, live with intention.

There you have it, my friends – the six monumental decisions that shape your destiny.

I hope this episode resonated with you as much as it did for me. I appreciate each one of you. Until next time, keep doing life big!

064: How to Make 2024 Your Year

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Can you believe we're almost at the end of 2023? 🤯

I get it – the holiday rush is already hitting me. Christmas stuff everywhere, and it triggered a major panic attack! Who wants to wait until the last minute to wrap up the year? Not me. 🫢 So, here's the plan: let's finish everything by the end of November, so we can truly savor the Christmas season. 🥳

Now, today's episode is a gem. I love discussing and teaching this because it's all about setting ourselves up for an epic 2024. Why does it matter?

Well, each year, we promise ourselves that "this is the year," only to see the cycle repeat. Did you know 80% of New Year's resolutions crash by February? Why? Because often, we lack tangible, actionable steps.

So, let's start planning for 2024 now. 🤩

I've been on this entrepreneurial journey for over a decade, and here's the trick: set your goals and craft your vision before the year ends. It brings more success and makes things happen faster. Don't push your dreams aside until January 1; you'll already be behind. Alignment is key.

In today's episode, we'll scratch the surface of planning for your best year. Want more in-depth, live guidance? Join my five-day masterclass starting December 4 (check out kathireuter.com/goals to join the waitlist).

Here are few steps to get started with your goal setting:

Ask yourself, "What do you want?" Find a quiet space, and envision your 2024. Big or small, your goals should excite and mean something to you.
Once you have your goals, ask: Is this truly important to me?
Attach a specific date to each goal, and don't just toss ideas into space.

062: How to Craft a Crystal Clear Vision for Your Business and Life

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big. Today, I'll be diving deep into something that's been on my mind a lot lately – the power of having a crystal clear vision for your business and your life.

Ever felt like you're just going through the motions, stuck on a hamster wheel, and something vital is missing?

I get it. I've seen countless entrepreneurs struggle with this.

The secret? A clear vision.

Not just any vision, but one you can see, feel, hear, and taste. When your vision is crystal clear, it injects purpose and meaning into your work. It's like finding your way out of a forest – you need a direction!

But here's the catch – your vision must be authentic. It's not about what others expect or what looks good on paper. It's about what brings you joy, what resonates with your true self. Your vision is your compass, guiding you toward your goals, inspiring you every day.

Ever wondered why some people make success look effortless? Their vision is clear, that's why.

It's not about overwhelming yourself; start small if you need to. Think about the next few steps, the next 90 days. You can broaden your vision and zoom in on specific goals later. The key is continuous evaluation – ask yourself, "Is this decision taking me closer or further away from my vision?"

Exciting news – I'll be hosting a five-day live masterclass on goal setting to set you up for your best year ever in 2024. Stay tuned for details! If you're as pumped as I am, join the waitlist at kathireuter.com/goals.

Together, let's make your dreams a reality.

061: What Successful Entrepreneurs Do Differently

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Before we jump into this episode, I've got something special for you.

Do you ever wonder how to identify your limiting beliefs and change those negative thoughts swirling in your mind? I've crafted a free PDF just for you, listing 19 common limiting beliefs and their empowering counterparts. Grab my FREE workbook, Think This, Not That - kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat, and let's start rewiring your thoughts together!

🎙️ Ever found yourself dreaming big, envisioning the entrepreneur's life of freedom, flexibility, and financial independence, yet feeling stuck in the cycle of 'wannabe entrepreneurism'?

Trust me, you're not alone!

I've spent a decade mentoring amazing souls like you, guiding them to unlock their true entrepreneurial potential. One of the most significant pitfalls I've seen is the 'waiting game.'

Are you waiting for someone to tell you what to do, seeking certainty in an inherently uncertain journey? It's time to break free from that cycle. As entrepreneurs, we're creators and problem solvers. We don't wait; we act, even in the face of uncertainty.

Another game-changer?

Sales. Your focus should be on revenue, not just the surface aspects of your business. Sales are the life force that transforms your passion into a thriving venture. It's not about the website, certifications, or perfecting social media. It's about consistently putting your offers out there, learning from rejection, and refining your pitch.

And here's a golden nugget: Motivation follows action. Waiting for lightning to strike and ignite your motivation? It doesn't work that way. Action begets motivation. Start moving, keep pushing forward, and you'll find your drive amplifying with every step.

Lastly, a crucial lesson I've learned: Choose your mentors wisely. Not all advice is created equal. Seek guidance from those who have walked the path, constructed businesses, and made millions. Don't let your vision be clouded by well-meaning friends or family who lack real business experience.

So, what's your next step? What action will you take today to propel your dreams into reality?

Remember, you're on a unique journey, one that requires courage, determination, and a sprinkle of audacity. I believe in you, and I am incredibly proud of you for taking this unconventional path.

If today's episode resonates with you, share it on social media, tag me, and let's inspire more dreamers to become doers. Your journey matters, and I can't wait to see you thrive! 🚀✨

060: Two Tips to Embrace Acceptance

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big! I’m diving deep into a topic that holds the key to personal growth and inner peace: acceptance.

Picture this: life's throwing curveballs, and we're all desperately seeking that magic fix. But what if the real secret lies not in doing but in being?

I shared stories that hit home, like Michael J. Fox's perspective on acceptance, and the profound Serenity Prayer that guides us through accepting what we can't change.

But here's the kicker: acceptance isn't about passivity. It's about acknowledging reality, even the messy bits, and then deciding how to respond.

I get it; it's tough. We all wrestle with situations we wish were different. I've been there too, whether it was facing financial crises or dealing with unexpected turns on my journey to motherhood.

But guess what? These challenges were pieces of a puzzle, shaping my path in ways I couldn't fathom back then.

And in this episode, I extend a challenge to you, my incredible listeners: a 24-hour radical acceptance challenge.

Tip 1: Accept Every Situation, Every Emotion, Every Circumstance.

Feel the resistance melt away as you embrace what is, appreciating the present moment for what it is – imperfectly perfect.

Tip 2: Exercise Your Acceptance Muscle.

It’s not about resigning to fate; it’s about gaining the wisdom to navigate life's twists with grace and resilience. Just like a muscle, your capacity for acceptance strengthens with practice. And yes, it's okay if your acceptance muscle feels weak right now. We're in this together, learning, growing, and evolving.

Remember, you're powerful, and together, we're on this transformative journey. Stay awesome! 🌟

059: How to Confidently Price Your Worth in Business

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Today's Do Life Big Podcast episode is for all you amazing business owners out there struggling with pricing confidence!

Picture this: you have a potential customer in front of you, asking about your product or service. Ever found yourself stumbling, saying it's "kind of expensive," or offering discounts nervously? Don't fret; it happens to the best of us.

But here's the deal: confidence is key.

I've worked with countless entrepreneurs facing the same challenge.

The secret? Believe in your product's value.

If you don't, why should anyone else? It's not about deciding what's too expensive for others; it's about demonstrating how your offering can transform their lives.

Here's what you can do starting today:

1. Know Your Worth: Understand the value you bring. How can your product or service change someone's life?

2. Confidence is a Choice: Confidence isn't magic; it's a result of action. Believe in the impact you can make, and it'll reflect in your pitch.

3. Communicate Value: Don't just state the price. Explain how your offering solves problems and enhances their life.

By mastering these steps, you exude confidence, attract more customers, and ultimately, grow your income.

Remember, we're all learning and growing together. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who might benefit. 🌟

057: Why You Should Choose the Future Over the Past

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Have you caught yourself looking back at your past experiences, and allowing them to dictate your future, recognizing how this can hold you back?

Imagine you're steering a boat, and you're fixated on the wake it leaves behind. That wake represents your past, where you've been, not where you're going.

Our brains are hardwired to keep us safe by predicting the future based on our past experiences. But here's the catch: if you're seeking improvement, growth, and change, living in your past won't get you there. You'll simply recreate what you've already experienced.

Think about it, have you been allowing the wake of your past to steer your life?

It's time to shift that focus because your brain's main job is to keep you alive, not necessarily to help you thrive. In today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, I'll be talking about why we should stop living in the past and why we need to start living in the future.

The key is to live more in the present and focus on creating the future you desire. Visualization might sound too simple, but it's incredibly powerful. Your brain can't tell the difference between real experiences and vividly imagined ones.

Are you envisioning a future that mirrors your past, filled with fear and anxiety?

Or are you shaping a future that excites you?

It's essential to get clear on your goals and practice daily visualization to change your brain's patterns.

Remember, your brain prefers the known, but you can make your desired future feel familiar. You can change your brain by mentally rehearsing your future and creating new memories.

In the end, it all boils down to one thing: you have to want change more than staying the same. It's time to stop being limited by your past and start creating the future you truly deserve.

056: How to Start Taking Action on Your Dreams

Mon, 18 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Let's start your day with something to be a wake-up call for YOU!

Year after year, we jot down our goals and dreams on our vision boards, only to keep pushing them to the next year's list. How many times have we told ourselves, "I'll start that book someday," or "I'll move to that dream location someday"? Well, my friend, that someday is TODAY.

We've all been guilty of it, haven't we?

In this Do Life Big Podcast episode, we're breaking free from the waiting game.

I want you to stop waiting for that elusive "perfect time" for when you feel "ready" or for someone to give you permission. The only person who needs to care enough about your dreams is YOU!

It's your life, and you're in control.

Remember that book you want to write, that business you want to start, or that adventure you want to do? It's time to pick up the pen and start.

Imposter syndrome, those nagging thoughts that you're not good enough or ready enough, need to be silenced. You're not an imposter; you're a beginner, and that's a great place to be.

I share my own journey of battling excuses and self-doubt and how I finally drew a line in the sand to start pursuing my dream. We talk about the endless excuses we make and why it's crucial to stop wasting time.

Today is that "someday" you've been waiting for. I encourage you to acknowledge your dreams and take responsibility for working toward them step by step. It doesn't matter how busy you are; even a few minutes a day can create significant change over time.

By directing your energy and time toward what truly matters to you, you'll bring more joy and fulfillment into your life. It's never too late, and you're never too old to start.

So, what's the one action you're taking today to move closer to your dreams? Share it with me on Instagram @katherinereuter.

055: How to Access Your True Potential by Deep Cleaning

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Do you know that satisfying feeling when you declutter your physical space? We're taking that concept to a whole new level today.

I've been on a mission recently, starting with my kids' rooms, to clean house not just physically but mentally and emotionally too.

We'll start by looking at your thoughts – that constant chatter in your mind. Are those thoughts serving you, propelling you forward, or just occupying space? 🤔

Then, we'll dig into your habits. Did you know that nearly half of what you do daily is habit-driven? 🔄

We'll examine each habit – keep the good, kick the ones that aren't helping. But it doesn't stop there. Relationships play a crucial role in your life. We'll chat about those too.

Are your relationships lifting you up or weighing you down? 🤝 And we'll even touch on those sneaky negative self-talk habits we all have. Ever wondered if they're helping or hurting your journey toward your goals? 🙅‍♀️

This deep cleaning isn't just about tossing out old pens; it's about simplifying your life, creating mental space, and setting yourself up for success. 🌟

Picture it: a life where everything around you aligns with your goals, where each thought, habit, and relationship serves your greater purpose. Sounds good, right?

But remember, it's a process, one step at a time. Be patient with yourself. 🕰️

So, my challenge to you is this: dedicate a day to decluttering, not just your physical space but your thoughts, habits, and relationships. Embrace the lighter feeling, mental clarity, and sense of empowerment it brings. 🚀

Because we don't want anything standing between you and your true potential. 🌠

054: Two Things You Need to Know About Personal Development

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0400

It's another week for a heart-to-heart chat about personal development. Whether you're new to this journey or a seasoned traveler, this episode is for YOU!

It wasn't always this way for me. Years ago, I used to scoff at personal development, thinking it was a waste of time.🙄 That was until I ventured into the world of online entrepreneurship over a decade ago.

I soon realized that if I wanted to help others become better, I had to start with myself.

In my years working with thousands of people in health, mindset, and business, I've encountered two common stumbling blocks in personal development.

The first challenge is feeling like we're not good enough. When we start this journey, it's not because something is wrong with us; we simply want to get better. But we often focus too much on our flaws and feel like we're not "normal" just because we want to improve. 🧐

The second challenge is expecting perfection. When we begin working on ourselves, we have a clear goal in mind. However, impatience sets in, and we wonder when we'll reach that perfect state. This unrealistic expectation can lead to frustration and setbacks when we fall back into old habits. 🏞️

Here's the truth: There is no destination in personal development. It's a lifelong journey, much like peeling the layers of an onion. You'll see progress, but perfection is an illusion. And that's okay! 🌟

So, what do we do when we stumble along the way? Instead of self-blame and guilt, let's show ourselves some grace. Recognize that you're continually evolving and improving. There's nothing wrong with you; you're a work in progress. 🌱

If those negative thoughts creep in, I've got you covered. Check out my free guide at kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat. It's a treasure trove of empowering beliefs to replace those limiting thoughts. 📚

Remember, it's okay to get lost on this journey; it's all part of finding yourself. Embrace your imperfections, keep working on you, and celebrate your commitment to growth. 🌻

Have you ever let a single inconvenient event ruin your entire day?

Trust me, we've all been there. But let's shift the narrative together.

I'll share stories that resonate, like that crazy morning rush that sets a negative tone. Plus, I'll spill the beans on how our beliefs shape our reality, often leading to unnecessary stress.

The good news is we can learn to manage this.

I've even got a fantastic free guide for you to start turning around those limiting beliefs: http://kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat

Remember, it's not about suppressing emotions. We're all allowed to feel frustrated or stressed. But it's about preventing them from consuming our lives.

Let's discover how to navigate these tricky moments and stop them from holding us back.

Valuable Insights and Takeaways:

The Exaggeration Effect: Learn how we tend to blow things out of proportion and rob ourselves of joy by magnifying minor issues.
Beliefs Shape Reality: Understand how our beliefs can inadvertently lead to stress and anxiety, and how to replace them with more empowering thoughts.
Recognizing Patterns: Identify when you're falling into the cycle of self-sabotage and catch yourself in the act.
The Power of Gratitude: Discover how practicing gratitude can counteract negative thought patterns and improve your overall outlook.
Embrace Learning: Approach challenging situations as learning experiences, leading to personal growth and self-improvement.

So, if you're tired of feeling weighed down by these patterns, if you want to seize control and live each day to the fullest, this episode is for you.

052: How To Trust Yourself to Do Life Big

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 05:00:00 -0400

It's crazy to believe that we've hit the one-year mark of the Do Life Big podcast!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being on this journey with me. Your support and positive reviews mean the world. This podcast exists to help you live your best life, and I'm so grateful for your part in spreading its impact.

So today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, I want to dive into a topic that's been on my mind, something I believe we all grapple with at times – trusting ourselves.

Have you ever felt like you're standing in your own way?

You have these dreams, these ideas that burn within you, but you hesitate to act on them? I've been there too. It's natural to doubt ourselves, to wonder if we're capable.

But here's the thing: those dreams, those nudges from within, they're there for a reason.

That vision, that idea – it's uniquely yours, placed within you for a purpose. You're capable of more than you think. Think about the times you've taken on new challenges before, even when you didn't have all the answers. You figured it out, right? You're resourceful and adaptable.

I want you to remember that.

Take that first step, even if it's sharing your idea with someone else. That's a powerful move, and it holds you accountable. Remember the time when I knew nothing about podcasting but started this show? It was messy, it was a learning curve, but I trusted myself enough to dive in. And you can too.

You're not alone in feeling uncertain. Listen closely to that inner calling. If something's been tugging at your heart, it's time to take action. This journey requires you to take a risk to put yourself out there. And if you don't try, you miss out on the chance to win, to feel fulfilled.

Trust yourself, take that first step, and start making your dreams a reality. Don't look back with regrets. Let's make today the day you decide to trust yourself and go after what you truly want.

051: 4 Key Tips to Achieve Mastery

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Today, we're diving deep into something that's absolutely crucial on our journey to success – MASTERY. And let me tell you, the secret to reaching your goals might not be what you're imagining.

Let's rewind a bit – about a decade ago when I started my online entrepreneurial journey, I thought I needed to put in massive amounts of work and make sacrifices to reach my goals.

But guess what? It's not all about taking monumental strides. Have you ever hesitated to take action because you felt overwhelmed by the idea of giving it your all, 24/7, and sacrificing your precious time? I totally get it.

Here's the real deal: success isn't about giant leaps; it's about consistent, small steps.

I'm talking about the "30 by 30" strategy – commit to just 30 minutes a day for 30 days, and you'll be amazed at the results. Whether it's improving relationships, fitness, positivity, or income, slow and steady progress is your ticket.

Think you can't find those 30 minutes? Trust me, they're there – in your busy schedule, masked as distractions. Like my husband, who dedicated early mornings to fitness, you too can find that time. Start small, manage your time better, and imagine the change 30 minutes a day for 30 days can bring – 900 minutes of focused practice and 15 hours of progress.

And here are 4 Key Tips I want to share with you to achieve Mastery:

Tip 1: Define Your Focus
Start by selecting a single skill or habit that you're determined to nurture. Be explicit about your goal – set clear, measurable objectives. Want to earn more income? Specify the amount and the timeline. Looking to shed pounds? Define your target weight loss.

Tip 2: Schedule It In
Open your schedule and pencil in those 30-minute blocks for the upcoming week. Don't leave it to chance or cram it in randomly. By planning in advance, you're committing to yourself, just like you would with any other appointment.

Tip 3: Record Your Progress
Keep a log of your daily sessions. Jot down how each session went – your energy levels, challenges faced, and breakthroughs. This helps you track your journey, learn from your experiences, and stay motivated.

Tip 4: Embrace Patience
Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. Progress isn't always visible, and that's okay. Some days you'll soar. Others, you'll stumble. But the key is showing up consistently, no matter the pace.

Consistency is the name of the game. It's not about pushing hard every day; it's about discipline, showing up no matter how you feel.

Here's your mission: embrace the 30 by 30 rule. Grab that book, "The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy, for some extra inspiration. Stick to it for 30 days and watch yourself outshine 99.9% of folks out there. Believe me; you've got this!

050: Master Resell Rights Business: Legit or Scam?

Mon, 07 Aug 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Picture this: you're scrolling through Instagram or TikTok, and boom, there it is – the Master Resell Rights buzz.

So, in this episode, I'm breaking it all down. What is it? Is it legit or a scam? And how could it possibly benefit you?

Fresh off my month-long vacation, I've dived into this new venture headfirst. Let me share my journey and insights with you!

Master Resell Rights is an age-old concept, but now it's getting a digital twist. Imagine having the license to resell a ready-made digital course and pocketing 100% profit. Sounds intriguing, right?

So, what's the deal with this course? It's an incredible training that guides you, step-by-step, in creating and selling your digital program or product. With a community, live training, and tons of modules, it's a treasure trove of knowledge.

Here's the magic – you can even rebrand the course, add your modules, or sell it as is. It's a versatile toolkit for aspiring creators and earners alike.

But wait, is this all too good to be true? Nope, it's $497, and that's it. No hidden fees, no upsells – just a straightforward opportunity to expand your income streams.

Why jump on this? Because having multiple sources of income is gold. Remember, I heard once that aiming for seven streams is the key. This Master Resell Rights venture is my sixth.

This isn't a call to sign up, but a nudge to open your eyes to opportunities. Keep learning, keep exploring, and never shy away from trying new things.

049: Why Having Multiple Sources of Income is Important

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Today's talk comes to you from my parent's home in South Carolina, and today's topic is super important – the power of having multiple streams of income.

Trust me, this is for you, especially if you've been considering ways to earn extra money or start a side hustle.

You see, back in the day, I never really thought about having multiple sources of income. I envisioned a simple life with a teaching job while my husband worked, and I'd focus on raising our kids. But over the past decade, as an entrepreneur, I've learned how crucial it is not to rely solely on one source of income.

Today, I want to share how having multiple streams of income has given me and my family the freedom to live life on our terms.

From running my health and fitness business to writing a children's book and investing in real estate, I've explored various avenues to generate income.

And guess what? It works!

Having these income streams allowed us to take a month-long vacation with our kids, and now we're planning for private education without financial stress.

I'm here to inspire you to take action. If you've been eyeing online income opportunities and want to make more money, this is your green light to go for it! We all need money, not just for its sake, but for what it can provide for our families and the experiences we can offer them.

So, be open to new opportunities, embrace side hustles, and if something sparks your interest, jump on it! There's nothing wrong with earning from multiple sources – it's the smart thing to do in today's digital world. Even if you already have a successful business, expanding your income streams is a wise move.

Remember, this is your chance to create the life you desire, to provide for your loved ones, and to look back with pride, knowing you lived life to the fullest.

So, what are you waiting for? Embrace the possibilities, and let's do life big together!

048: Why Doing More Personal Development Isn't The Solution to Breaking Your Income Plateau

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Hey there! This is another exciting episode of Do Life Big.

If you've been running your online business for at least six months and still struggling to see income growth, this episode is tailor-made for you! 🤩

I know you've got big dreams, and you can feel your potential deep within, but doubts and distractions keep creeping in. You wonder if success is really possible for you.

Perhaps you're hustling hard, doing all the right things, but still hitting a plateau in your income.

Or maybe you're diving headfirst into personal development, seeking that missing piece to unlock your full potential. But the truth is, neither of these alone will lead to the income growth you desire. 🤔

I get it; I've been there too!!! 😅

For two and a half years, I worked tirelessly, consumed personal development content, and took massive action in my business, but my income remained stagnant.

Why?

It was because of an underlying limiting belief that I wasn't even aware of.

And here's the secret sauce: personal development and action can only take you so far. If you have subconscious limiting beliefs holding you back, they will sabotage your efforts, leaving you stuck in the same place.

BUT...

You can break free from this cycle! You have the power to reprogram your thinking and unleash your true potential. It all starts with becoming aware of those limiting beliefs and replacing them with empowering ones. 💪

To help you get started, I've created a free guide listing 19 common limiting beliefs and how to replace them with empowering thoughts. Just head to kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat to grab your copy.

Remember, you have what it takes to succeed, and I believe in you so big! Don't let limiting beliefs hold you back any longer. Start changing your thoughts today, and watch your business soar to new heights. 🚀

If you're ready to take it a step further and work on breaking free from those limiting beliefs, consider joining my Mindset Accelerator Program. Although it's currently closed, you can hop on the waitlist at kathireutertraining.com/mindset_accelerator_waitlist. 📝

You can change how you think, which can change your entire life. I believe in you and know you've got what it takes. Keep crushing life! 💪😊

047: Unlocking Time Freedom With Your Online Business

Mon, 17 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Many people focus solely on making money and accumulating wealth, but what good is all that if you can't spend your time doing what you truly love with the people you cherish? It's time to shift our mindset and prioritize time as our most valuable asset.

I'm sitting in my peaceful Airbnb in North Carolina, enjoying quality time with my family. And it's all possible because of my online business. Isn't it incredible that nowadays, you can build a business that gives you the freedom to work from anywhere?

And in today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, I'll be discussing creating time freedom with your online business.

If you're already running an online business or considering starting one, here are three things to help you run an online business that can create a life that offers both time and financial freedom:

Start with a clear vision: Begin your online business journey with a crystal clear vision of the lifestyle you desire. Build your business around that vision and prioritize aligning your business with your life, rather than the other way around.
Delegate and outsource: Outsource and delegate tasks right from the beginning. Avoid taking on all responsibilities yourself. By leveraging resources and assistance, you can free up your time and focus on the most important aspects of your business.
Constantly evaluate and adjust: Achieving time freedom requires ongoing tweaking, re-evaluation, and adjustment. Continuously assess your business operations and make necessary changes to optimize your time and ensure fulfillment in your life.

Let go of the notion that you have to sacrifice your time for success. Life is happening right now, so seize each day and constantly seek ways to infuse flexibility and time freedom into your life.

If you struggle with self-doubt and a negative mindset, get my free guide, Think This, Not That - kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat, which addresses common limiting beliefs and provides empowering alternatives.

046: How To Overcome Fears and Operate From Belief!

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In today's Do Life Big Podcast, I'm gonna dive deep into the power of conquering fears and living a faith-based life.

Picture this: I'm recording this episode from a Georgia farm surrounded by nature and animals. It's a reminder of the beautiful memories we can create when we step out of our comfort zones.

Let me share a personal story with you.

Back when I was in college, fear stopped me from studying abroad in Hawaii. Can you believe it? Hawaii is my favorite place in the world! I let my fear and comfort zone keep me from experiencing something incredible.

As I share this story with you, I want you to reflect on the times fear has stopped you from pursuing your dreams.

Have you ever felt that overwhelming fear that keeps you from taking that leap of faith?

I've been there, and it's time to change that! I'll be honest with you when things started going wrong in Hawaii, I let fear take control. I was overwhelmed by missed flights, unexpected challenges, and a feeling that it wasn't the right decision. I immediately believed that everything was falling apart and that I needed to go back home.

But here's the truth: fear is often just poor management of our minds.

We have the choice to approach situations with faith instead. Imagine going into every challenge and opportunity with an unwavering belief that things will work out.

Yes, we'll experience worry and stress, but we don't have to let them define us. Instead of dwelling on negative emotions, let them pass through. Don't let fear become your identity.

Starting something new won't be perfect. It's like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. Embrace the messy middle and trust the process.

Repeat this affirmation daily: "Everything by my divine right comes to me today in perfect order." Believe that everything happens for a reason.

Break free from fear-based thinking. Embrace faith, positivity, and confidence.

You deserve a life without regrets. Choose faith over fear. Keep living life big!

045: The Power of Words

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "Why did that one comment from someone affect me so deeply?"

Why did it make me so angry?

Why did it make me so upset?

Why is it that I just can't let it go?

If you can relate to this, you know how it can ruin your day!

And in today's episode, I'm going to talk about the power of words and how to work through those triggers and not let them take control over us.

I'll get messages sometimes from people asking me how can I not let what my husband, mom, or friends say to me get to me. Like how can I avoid that?

How can I not let these other people ruin my mindset?

It's not the person who ruins your mindset. They have no effect on your mindset. They didn't ruin your day; you've ruined your mindset and your day.

And so, here are three things we should do when someone says something that triggers us:

Acknowledge the trigger: When you feel yourself getting heated by someone's words, take a moment to acknowledge that it is triggering you. Make a mental note of it.
Journaling: After acknowledging the trigger, journal about the situation. Reflect on what happened and try to understand why it affected you. What did the person's words reveal about you?
Seek freedom: Once you understand what the trigger illuminated about yourself, work towards becoming free from it. This involves actively addressing and processing these triggers and the words that trigger you from others.

The way words from others affect us is connected to our self-beliefs. By exploring and questioning these beliefs, we can reduce the impact of others' words and regain control over how we react emotionally.

YOU have the power and control over your feelings, thoughts, and actions. You can choose not to let others' words have power over you.

044: Five Ways To Be More Consistent

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 05:00:00 -0400

When I started my first business, I had no knowledge about entrepreneurship, but my mentor emphasized the power of consistency.

In today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, we've discussed all about CONSISTENCY. And this is one of the most important things for you to achieve any goal that you're working towards, whether it's in business, your relationships, or your health; consistency is always king.

I remember I got two great books that transformed my mindset when I was still a beginner, "The Compound Effect" and "The Slight Edge." Consistency is challenging because results aren't immediate, but you can achieve incredible success by showing up every day, even when motivation wanes, and focusing on income-producing activities.

And so, I want to share with you my top five ways to be more consistent and make your goals a reality!

1. Work off a list of the top three things you need to do every day to move closer to your goal and prioritize them consistently.

2. Be intentional with your time by having a clear list to work from, which helps you avoid distractions and unproductive activities.

3. Focus on acknowledging and appreciating how far you have come rather than fixating on how much further you need to go, cultivating gratitude for your progress.

4. Stay focused on your own journey and avoid comparing yourself to others, as everyone has different circumstances and timelines.

5. Keep it simple by staying consistent in small actions every day, as consistency is key to success in any area of life and helps build reliability and trustworthiness.

Whatever that thing is that you need to start, you need to start it. And then when you do start it, don't stop!

043: Three Ways To Overcome Perfectionism! 👌

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 05:00:00 -0400

If you're trying to go from point A to point B, but you're sabotaging your success because of perfectionism, and if it's literally stopping you from starting and beginning to take action toward whatever it is that you want to go for, then this week's Do Life Big Podcast episode is for you.

Perfectionism is a huge topic that many people struggle with, and it can destroy our personal lives and productivity. But we need to know that perfectionism is not attainable because perfection does not exist. It is merely an illusion and a mask that people use to hide their fears or insecurities:

Fear of being judged

Making mistakes

Not being Accepted holds us back from taking action.

And waiting for the perfect moment only leads to missed opportunities and unfulfilled dreams.

So, here are a few key things to overcome perfectionism:

Progress Over Perfection. Instead of striving for perfection, focus on being better and making progress each day. Set achievable goals and take small steps towards them consistently. Celebrate the completion of tasks rather than obsessing over minor imperfections. Remember that something is always better than nothing, and it's through action that you gain experience, confidence, and momentum.
Be real. People appreciate genuine and real experiences rather than a picture-perfect facade. Embrace your uniqueness and share your journey, even if it's messy and imperfect. Others can relate to imperfections and flaws because they make you relatable and human. You will attract like-minded individuals who appreciate your genuine nature by embracing your flaws and being true to yourself.
Don't be afraid of failure. Remember that mistakes and failures are a part of the learning process. Successful people have experienced failures, made mistakes, and learned from them. It's through these experiences that they have grown and achieved success. Embrace the opportunity to learn from your mistakes, and don't let the fear of failure hold you back.

Let go of the need for perfection and start taking imperfect action toward your goals and Do Life Big!

042: How To Live A Life Without Regrets

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 05:00:00 -0400

I hope you're ready to kickstart this new week with positivity and determination! 💪

In today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, we'll talk about a topic close to my heart—living without regrets. The last thing I want for myself and for you is to reach the end of our lives and look back without regret.

A lot of older people express their regrets at the end of their lives, and one common regret is not living a life true to themselves. They wish they hadn't based their decisions on other's opinions dictate their choices, and this kind of reason often hinders us from pursuing our true desires & being true to ourselves.

Over the last ten years of being an entrepreneur, I lived a life where I just wanted to be accepted and liked by everyone, but I eventually realized I didn't want to change myself just to be liked. I wanted to be true to who I am, regardless of others' opinions. That's when everything started to shift for me. 🌟

Living authentically also means understanding your true desires. Many people end up regretting their choices because they don't know themselves or what they want.

Take a moment to reflect on what brings you happiness and what you truly want from life. If you're unsure, consider what you don't want—it can guide you toward what you do want.

You deserve to live a life without regrets. Let's make it happen! 🙌

041: Embracing Starting Over and Having a Beginner's Mindset

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 05:00:00 -0400

I think it's time we normalize starting over and being a beginner again.

We all encounter this at some point in our lives, whether it is in our careers, businesses, relationships, or personal aspirations.

Sometimes, we reach a point where we realize what we're doing no longer aligns with our true purpose and goals.

BUT the fear of starting over often prevents us from taking that leap of faith and pursuing something new.

In today's Do Life Big Podcast episode, we will talk about this fear and explore ways to overcome it. But here's the thing: starting over and embracing a beginner's mindset can bring a looooot of benefits.

I personally experienced this when I spent two and a half years transitioning away from my online business to create my own program.

It is tempting to remain in our comfort zones because it is familiar and financially stable, and we have invested significant time into it. But, deep down, we know that something is missing, and we are merely settling for less.

It is crucial not to let fear and worry about potential obstacles hinder us from making the necessary changes. The urge to embark on a new path exists within us for a reason, and we must listen to it.

So, if you've been contemplating a change or have a new idea tugging at your heart, know that it was given to you for a REASON. You have what it takes to succeed and are qualified to make this move!

If you're interested in diving deeper into this topic, I recommend checking out James Wedmore's free three-day live training called "The Rise of the Digital CEO." I went through it last year, and it was a game-changer for me. You can register for the training at kathireuter.com/rise. I promise - you will be thrilled, and this could even be the start of one of the most amazing journeys in your life! ✨

I am genuinely excited and proud of you, and I am right there with you every step of the way! 🙌😘

040: 5 Tips to Overcome Your Imposter Syndrome

Mon, 29 May 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Imagine you have recently been promoted. You were thrilled to receive this opportunity because you know that you worked hard to earn it. Or imagine you are an aspiring entrepreneur with amazing business ideas. You have spent countless hours researching and developing your startup.

BUT...

As you enter your new role, you question whether you truly deserve the position or begin doubting your ability to run a successful business.

If you have thoughts like, "I don't have enough experience," "I'm not capable of these responsibilities," or "What if I fail?" then YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

Here's the truth: I just went through it this past week. I experienced all of these kinds of things, too, just like you do! If you set high standards and high expectations, you're more likely to experience impostor syndrome.

Today's Do Life Big Podcast is all about OVERCOMING Imposter Syndrome. It's that nagging feeling of self-doubt and fear despite our achievements and capabilities.

And so, here are five tips to overcome it and embrace your true potential!

Focus on some deep breathing in a quiet place when you're alone, just in through the nose and out through the mouth for just two minutes. It doesn't have to be anything crazy; you can do it when you're alone in the car or when you're in the shower.
Think about your successes. Focus on the things that have worked well for you, your business, or your life, and think about and remember how you felt when you were having those successes in your life.
Remember your achievements. Because here's the thing, impostor syndrome purposely makes you ignore or block out any of your past achievements. Don't downplay your successes. Embrace them, acknowledge your hard work, and let your confidence soar.
Share as much of your knowledge and experience with others as you can. Because the more that you're sharing about what you're doing, and sharing your knowledge and sharing your mission with what you're doing, and why you're doing what you're doing, why you want to be able to do what you're doing to impact others, you automatically are going to attract more like-minded people to you.
Celebrate every single small win. This may seem like no big deal to you, but it should be a big deal to you. And it deserves to be celebrated. And you deserve to take a second to stop and pause and put the go-getting attitude and the hustler attitude and all of that aside to remember how far you've come and celebrate those small wins.

Believe in yourself. Trust your abilities. You are worthy of success and capable of achieving great things. Let go of doubt, and Do Life Big!

039: How To Use The Law of Attraction To Get What You Want in Life

Mon, 22 May 2023 05:00:00 -0400

You know how I always mention this to my husband on how things seem to work out for me, and I end up getting what I want?

Now, don't get me wrong... it's not me being like just some cocky jerk... it's simply because I firmly believe in the power of my own confidence and unwavering belief in manifesting my desires.

I've come to realize that when I truly want something, I hold onto the certainty that it will come to pass. I don't even consider the possibility of the opposite outcome because, in my reality, it doesn't even exist as an option. It's as if the things I don't want simply fade away from my focus, leaving room for what I truly desire.

And I will share this more in today's podcast episode, which is one of my really favorite topics, The Law of Attraction!!!

Throughout the episode, we'll dive into what we really want in life and imagine achieving our dreams. By doing this, we'll not only attract positive vibes but also develop a confident and positive mindset that will push us closer to our dream life.

Whether you're already familiar with the Law of Attraction or just getting started, this episode is a must-listen. It's packed with valuable insights on how you can actually get what it is you really want in your life, in your business, in your relationships, and all that good stuff.

Align your thoughts, emotions, and actions to manifest what you truly desire in life with the Law of Attraction!

037: The Power of Investing in Yourself and Your Business

Investing in yourself and your business can get a lot of benefits in the long run 💰 BUT there are entrepreneurs who really thought that they don't need help and they can all figure it out on their own.

I've been there, done that!!!

When I started my business, I did not think twice about making an investment in myself.

When I had the idea to create an online course for online entrepreneurs, I sought out the guru in the area... 🧠

When I wanted to start this Do Life Big Podcast🎙️, I didn't mess around and thought that I know exactly who I'm going to work with. I'm going to invest in the course, and I'm going to learn from it!!!

I want to learn from the best, so I can become the best, and that's what I've talked about in today's episode of Do Life Big Podcast.

🚀 I believe that investing in yourself and your business is the best investment you can make. By taking the time and resources to learn from experts, courses, books, or coaching programs, you can achieve your goals and Do Life Big.

035: The Secret To Making Your Income Goals ACTUALLY Manifest!

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Do you have income goals for your business (or for your life?) I know I do!

Income goals are GREAT, but a lot of entrepreneurs I talk to get tricked up on this one simple mistake when they set their income goals.

In today's episode of the Do Life Big Podcast, I talk about this mistake, which is setting SHALLOW income goals.

You know... like "I want a 6-figure business".

Or, "I just want to replace my full-time salary".

For your income goals to be meaningful to you, they need to go DEEP and actually serve a purpose!

Money itself is just a tool - it gives you opportunities to accomplish things that you want to accomplish in your life. But uncovering your underlying reasons for wanting a certain amount of income in your business, whether it's $10k or a Million, will help solidify your vision and keep you going even when things are hard!

Today's episode is all about how to connect to your deeper income goals, how that will help you, and how doing this can produce consistent growth in your business!

❗ FREE WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT! ❗

👉 Coming up on May 2nd, I am running Unleash Your Business Potential, my FREE workshop designed to reveal the critical hidden mindset that sabotages our success that we don't even know is there! (It's a sneaky one!)

034: How Working More Creates Income Plateaus (and What to Do Instead!)

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

If you have flatlined or gone backward in your income for at least three months, even though you've been showing up and working on your business every day, then you might be the discouraged entrepreneur with big dreams, and I've got a powerful episode for you today!

In today's episode, I talk about a concept called the "Groundhog Cycle." It's like the movie "Groundhog Day," which is about this guy who wakes up on (yep.. you guessed it.. Groundhog Day!) every morning. The same day keeps repeating itself over and over again, and the only way for him to break out of this loop is to learn the lesson he has to learn!

I was in the Groundhog Cycle for two-and-half-years!

I wake up...
I show up...
I do the same thing every single day...

Hoping that there will be a different outcome, yet it's always the same result, and my income is not growing!

Stuck in a rut; but also feeling completely frustrated and flustered about it because I knew I had so much more to give and so much untapped potential still there!

And the thing is, during that time, I thought I just wasn't working hard enough, or doing enough personal growth. I read more books, invested in more trainings, and worked later into the night and earlier into the morning, all while having nothing to show for it!

Eventually, what I realized was that the root of my problem keeping me in stuck as a discouraged entrepreneur with big dreams were actually my hidden INNER THOUGHTS and my SELF-LIMITING BELIEFS. Because they were so hidden, I never even knew they were there.

And since then, I've learned that working on our thoughts and beliefs is the only way to remove those blocks that are keeping us from having the success that we want in our business!

I've also got an exciting announcement this week! Coming up on April 24th, 2023 at 9PM EST, I am hosting Power Up LIVE, a virtual event I am cohosting along with two other amazing women. There will be networking opportunities, the chance to win prizes, and much more!

The details are going to be published very soon, but to get notified, make sure to grab my FREE workbook, Think This, Not That at kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat, and you will be on my list to be notified when registration opens shortly!

033: The Surprising Truth About Work / Life Balance!

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

If you are struggling with finding that balance between work and life, then one or more of the following things may be true for you:

You feel guilty AT work at least once each week because you know you need to be more intentional with your work / life balance, and your family and friends deserve your attention ... but it's so much easier to just put all your effort into your work.
At least once per week, you feel guilty when you aren't working - because you know you have goals and taking a break makes you feel like you aren't really committed to what you said you wanted to accomplish!
Or, maybe you think to yourself at least daily - I wish I had more time to spend with my family!
You might also wonder if it's really possible to ever get the balance that you really want deep down!
Or you might have guilt when you make a promise to someone at least once a month (at work at or home) that you have to back out on because something else takes priority.

Well, if any of those ring a bell, then today's Do Life Big Podcast is a MUST-LISTEN for you!

I explore the surprising truth about work/life balance and why it's essential to prioritize your personal life! (and you might be surprised to learn that you can actually grow FASTER in your business when you focus on your personal life!)

At the end of the day, our job titles or accomplishments don't define us - what people remember is the impact we had on their lives and how we made them feel!

And finding a balance between personal and work life can be challenging, but it's possible with patience and dedication.

❌ You weren't born to pay bills and die!

You were born to live amazingly, thrive, and have meaningful relationships. Work hard at finding that balance, so you can live the life you want and make incredible memories with the people you love!!!

Don't forget that life is not just about making a living; it's about making a life!

032: Taking ACTION Even When You Are Nervous or Fearful About the Outcome!

Mon, 03 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Last week, I had an amazing one-on-one coaching session with one of my students from my program, The Mindset Accelerator. She loves her business and believes it can help others, BUT she is nervous about talking 1:1 with people about it, fearing negative feedback or judgment. And I say, it's completely normal!!

🎙In this week's podcast, I talk about the times I felt so nervous, yet I still took action and how it led me to growth, new friendships, and positive messages from people who were impacted by my works.

The things that make us nervous or intimidated are the ones that will grow us the most. The key difference between successful people and those who are not is that successful people have learned to understand that these nerves are part of the journey and have trained themselves to run towards that fear and take action anyway.

Remember, by facing your fears and taking action, you open up opportunities for growth, new experiences, and positive outcomes!

031: 3 Traits The Most Successful Entrepreneurs I've Met Have In Common!

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0400

One of the most impactful quotes I ever heard when I started my entrepreneurial journey was "Success Leaves Clues".

It's why I LOVE seeing, learning, and reading about other people's success; because there are always things to learn from them that you can then apply in your own life!

When I started my first business nearly 9 years ago, I looked to others who were doing what I wanted to do, and I did the same things. I always took the lessons my mentors had for me and just applied them with the faith that it was going to work out. I carried an attitude of "If they can do it, then so can I!"

In today's Do Life Big Podcast, I share "behind the scenes" about some of the most successful entrepreneurs that I've personally met over the past few years, and the top 3 things that I've noticed that they have in common! These entrepreneurs span all kinds of businesses, from real estate, to attorneys, to manufacturing, to construction, to online businesses.

Most of these people are friends of mine now - and it's so interesting to see that they carry some of these common threads!

First - they carry super passion and excitement what they do. They love talking about it, they love thinking of ways to improve their businesses and make their customers happy. More importantly, they LOVE what they do! Now that doesn't mean they are ALWAYS excited to work (your business isn't here to entertain you!) but, they show up excited to do what they do.

Secondly, they want to solve problems or create real change in the world. They want to make things better! They found a hole in the marketplace and worked to figure out how to improve that thing. This is also why I created the Mindset Accelerator, (not currently open, but click the link and join the waitlist!) my program that helps entrepreneurs who have been plateaued for at least 3 months finally break from that and grow their income to six-figures and beyond by addressing their hidden limiting beliefs that are holding them back.

Thirdly, they are very good at delegating. If you want to go far, you have to have a team. They know their business, they know what their zone of expertise is, and they can outsource the rest. This frees them up to focus on the most important tasks in their business that they really need to do.

Of course, they all also have their mindset on lock - remember, if you don't think you can accomplish something, you won't!

030: How the "I'll Be Happy When" Mindset Sabotages Your Fulfillment!

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0400

One of the most common stories I hear from people I coach is that they have this BIG goal for their life, and they have then attached happiness and joy to the achievement.

They will say things to me like,

"I'll be happy when I reach six-figures in my business"
"I'll be happy when I can quit my 9 to 5 job"
"When I have a large following on social media, then I'll be satisfied"

And the thing is that to really achieve success you need to find happiness, joy, and fulfillment along the way to those goals. It's not an end result.

So, in today's Do Life Big Podcast, I talk first about why we keep chasing happiness. If you haven't heard of the Hedonic Treadmill, it's a basic idea that happiness after a change (negative or positive) ends up going back to your own baseline.

Did you know: both lottery winners AND paraplegics returned to their baseline level of happiness in just a year after those events? That was mind blowing to me!

I also give you some great tips and actionable strategies to avoid this hedonic treadmill, including how to stay present in the moment, align your goals with your values, and build a growth mindset.

Remember, the joy really is in the journey. I know in my own life, I've often had the most fun when I'm learning and growing on the way to the goals that we set. Sometimes, actually achieving the goal itself ends up being kind of anti-climactic!

029: 5 Quick Tips to Improve Your Mental 🧠 Health!

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0400

When life gets overwhelming, or you are feeling like all the weight of the world is on your shoulders, then you already know how important it is to manage those emotions and your mental health.

If you don't manage your mental health during high-stress and high-pressure times, then it can quickly cascade and affect every aspect of your life - your health, your relationships, and even your inner peace.

Today's Do Life Big Podcast is all about some QUICK and actionable tips you can implement to flip around and improve your mental health!

If you implement these tips into your life when you start feeling that pressure, you will be much more able to take these situations in stride and not let it knock you down!

First - know that sometimes things that bother you are long-term and some are short-term. For example, you may be stressed about something someone said at work, but then a few hours later you have totally forgotten it. A good benchmark is to give yourself 24 to 48 hours to see if that situation is STILL bothering you; and if it is, you should speak up about it instead of pushing it down.

Second, practice expressing your emotions and sharing your feelings with those around you. Especially for you people pleasers (like me!), having a tendancy to not say anything because you don't want to ruffle feathers can lead to a build-up of emotions that end up bursting out at some unexpected time.

Thirdly; ask for help! so many of us are afraid to ask for help when we really need it, but there are so many friends and family that want to help. Don't be afraid to get help when you really need it. You don't need to carry every single thing with you!

Fourth - treat yourself like someone you are responsible for taking care of! One thing I talk about inside my programs often is how we tend to treat ourselves worse than we would ever treat someone else. That includes self-talk and the expectations we place on ourselves. For the mental health side of this, this is all about treating yourself kindly!

Finally, get some silence in your life! It can just be a few minutes. But our world is so fast-paced and we are always going, going, going (especially if you are a mom and / or business owner!) that it's important to decompress sometimes with some quiet.

Listen now for more details and examples on how to apply this to your life to help you manage your mental health more effectively!

028: The 5 Emotional Stages You Need to Navigate to Create Real CHANGE In Your Life!

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Imagine wanting to create a change in your life, and just making it happen with a snap of your fingers? 🤞

Well..... sorry to break it to you but unfortunately, it doesn't work like that!

This week's Do Life Big Podcast is all about understanding the emotional stages you HAVE to go through to create change!

And if you understand those stages, you will be WAY more likely to actually go through them to completion (and as a result, actually creating the change you want!)

Here's the thing - if you want a different RESULT in your life, then you have to do something different!

If you keep doing what you have always been doing, you will keep getting the same results.

Your life will not automatically change by just "waiting it out", and ... no one is coming to save you. Change in your life starts (and ends) with YOU!

In today's episode, I cover in depth the 5 different emotional stages we ALL go through when creating change, and give you tips for understanding and moving through them!

Stage 1 is all about optimism! The change you want is new, and exciting, but you haven't yet uncovered any of the challenges you will need to go through! Most of us approach this stage with a high level of energy and excitement.
Stage 2 is where you become aware of the changes you will have to personally make. This is where you learn that you will have to give something up or let something go. This is the stage where anxiety and some frustration start to show up. This is where you start to confront your comfort zone!
Stage 3 is the Valley of Despair, the lowest part of creating change. This is the point where you second guess yourself. You wonder if you are really cut out for this. This is also where most people quit, which only puts you back to Stage #1! And so many people live their lives on this loop of going from Stage 1 to Stage 3 and then back to stage 1 again.
Stage 4 is the Road to Probability - this is where the challenges you faced start to come together and you can actually see a path forward. All of the confusion, dissaray starts to fade away. You can actually SEE what is possible again, like the fog clearing!
Stage 5 is Excitement and Fulfillment - This is where you think "I am so glad I stuck this out!" and the change is actually implemented in your life! (woohoo!)

All of these stages have learnings and pitfalls, so listen in to today's episode so I can walk you through it all!

Also, wanted to send a BIG THANKS to Jeanne for her review on iTunes. She says:

Motivating, Inspiring, Encouraging

Fantastic messages! I have followed Kathi for awhile, even before her podcast and have always found her to be an inspiration.

027: How To Use Your Gut Instinct To Make Decisions!

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

When preparing for this week's Do Life Big Podcast, I spent time researching the gut and where "gut instinct" comes from, because I often operate from a gut instinct perspective.

Actually, most of the decisions I make nowadays are from intuition. And I was curious if there was actually science around trusting your intuition!

Well, turns out, there is a LOT of science around your gut (or "second brain!"). Your intuition works extremely well in areas where have a lot of knowledge or experience!

But there are situations where trusting your gut can be less effective - including when you are in a highly emotional state, and when you are trying to predict a low-probability event.

Take a listen to today's episode now where I dive deeper into this - and I'd love to hear from you! Just reply to this email and let me know if you usually operate off your gut instinct or if you use your logical brain to make choices.

Also, wanted to send a BIG THANKS to LaHodges10 for her review on iTunes. She says:

Kathi is the kindest, sweetest, and funniest soul!! Her podcast offers relatable & actionable inspiration to inspire you to do life BIG!!

026: 5 Tips to Become More Disciplined This Year!

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever struggled with discipline and the consistency that comes along with it?

If you are like most of my students, you might think to yourself "How do I get MORE disciplined"?

First off - it's 100% normal to wonder this. We all have times where we struggle with staying disciplined, and get "off-track" on working towards our goals.

In this episode I'm giving you a "behind the scenes" peak into my own struggle with staying disciplined on my personal health & fitness journey, and some insight into why that happened.

I also share my top 5 tips for cultivating your self discipline, and give examples and details on each:

Getting clear on the goal you want to achieve and why it is important you are disciplined toward that goal
Creating new habits that will "stick"
Building self-discipline for that habit
The importance of small, "baby steps" each day
Giving yourself grace for things not going perfect (... because they won't!)

I can't wait to hear what you think! If you've started working towards something then fallen off the wagon, then this episode was made for YOU!

Also, wanted to send a BIG THANKS to empthythedishwasher for her review on iTunes. She says:

Thank You!

I’ve just started listening to Kathi’s show, even though I’ve been following her on social for a long time now. Something about right now and what’s going on with my own goals told me to listen. I love that I can listen when I’m on my way to pick up the kids, or taking the dog for a walk. A lot of what she is saying makes complete sense, we just didn’t realize we needed someone to spell it out for us! 😆 I’m spending a lot of time focusing on my goals and getting out of my comfort zone, and this podcast is the perfect little (short, easily digestible) cherry on top of the work that I’m already doing. Her words reiterate and help drive home ideas I’m working on daily. Thanks, Kathi!

024: 8 Tips to Overcome Being a People Pleaser

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Did you know: I used to be a MAJOR people pleaser for like, the first 30 years of my life? Yup, it's true!

I would make so many decisions based on what others expected of me (or even what I assumed they expected!)

And I remember one day, almost 10 years ago when I first started my health & fitness business, coming face to face with how people pleasing shows up:

I had family tell me that I was wasting my elementary education degree and throwing away my career.
I had friends tell me i was too overweight to run a health & fitness business
I had others me that it was a pipe-dream thinking I would succeed with NO experience running any kind of business!

I had decided to start that business for just one reason: to continue stay home with my little kids who were 3 years old and 18 months at the time.

And when these comments happened, as painful as it was to hear people who supposedly care about me, downplay what I wanted to do; I knew I had to make a choice.

Option A) was go back to work, put my kids in day-care, and give up on dreams of being a stay-at-home mom. And eventually live with REGRET. ❌
Option B) was ignore the naysayers, and do what I knew I wanted to do.

For me, the choice was easy.

And since then, I have gained so much personal power. I make decisions now based on what I want to do, and not what others expect of me. And that feels freakin' AWESOME! ❤

In today's podcast, I talk all about my own story but I also give you my TOP 8 actionable tips you can use RIGHT NOW in your own life to stop people-pleasing!

Also, wanted to send a BIG THANKS to DD Daily for her review on iTunes. She says:

023: How High Performers Reframe Situations To Create Success

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever had that voice in your head that's thought, "Why does it seem so effortless for everyone else?"

Especially when faced with a challenge, so many of us (without even knowing it!!) give those challenges or setbacks a meaning about what is possible for us.

Whelp, I've got an AWESOME episode for you today!

You will learn that when you create is a negative meaning about a situation, then it becomes impossible to grow or get past it.

The meaning becomes a ❌ ROADBLOCK.

You probably already know this though, right?

For example, let's say you are trying to eat healthier and make better choices with your meals, but then you go to a friends birthday party and have a few Captain & Cokes 🍸, a slice of cake 🍰 , and some eggrolls 🥢.

You've blown it for the night! 😱

So what happens next? You can interpret that a few different ways.

✔ You can choose to make it mean you failed, and just let this totally derail you from your goals. You knew you didn't have the willpower to avoid the food, and this just reinforced it. I'm destined to fail!

✔ OR, you can choose to just isolate the story to that day. Hey, it was a birthday party, I ate and drank more than i planned, but today is a new day and I'm going to move forward from here. It's about progress, not perfection. I'm not perfect, but I am doing my best, and just because I overindulged doesn't make ME a failure!

Which story, about the same situation, is going to move you in a positive direction?

Today's episode dives into this with lots of examples and tips. High performers know how to REFRAME situations so they can GROW from it, instead of shrink!

I know this episode is going to set off some light bulbs for you!

Also, wanted to send a BIG THANKS to Lindsal196 for her review on iTunes. She says:

Kathi is awesome! She’s so easy to listen to and really motivates me to be my best self! I’ve been following her on Instagram for the last year or so and she is so easy to relate with! Thank you!!!

022: The 5 Most Common Limiting Beliefs My Students Have and What To Think Instead!

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Most struggling entrepreneurs make the mistake of thinking that all they have do is work more, and work harder, to finally hit that six-figure success in their business they are dreaming of.

What they don't realize is that all the hard work in the world won't make up for a belief that literally puts a CAP on what is possible for them!

Over the past nearly 9 years, I've worked with thousands of entrepreneurs, helping them bust through lifting beliefs so they can finally achieve the success they dream about.

Today's podcast is a SUPER POWERFUL one because I share the TOP 5 most common limiting beliefs that I hear from my students all.the.time.

If you are anything like my students, you may have thought some of these yourself!

There's more though! I don't just share the limiting thought, I also give you a reframe - a new thought you can "substitute in" for the limiting belief that will actually empower you and SMASH that invisible ceiling that is keeping you stuck!

BUT WAIT! There's More! 😂

I've also thrown together a FREE resource for you - a downloadable PDF called, "Think This, Not That".

This quick sheet will give you even more common limiting beliefs - 19 in total - that I hear all the time, PLUS a blank template where you can list out some of your own limiting beliefs and then reframe them into something that will actually help you get your business out of a rut and back into growth mode!

So click on over below and download it right now:

021: How to Lean into the Unknown and TRANSFORM Your Life!

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Imagine if every time you had a fear that made you freeze like a deer in the headlights, you knew how to push through that fear and do what you know you SHOULD do?

How much would your life change? How FAST could you accelerate your success if you just wrote that email, called that person, or made that post on social media?

Last week, I attended a virtual 3-day business event .... and it was really amazing. There were almost 300 people on it live and I learned SO much I can't wait to put into action this year!

At one point though, the Zoom training suddenly broke into small group workshops with 5 - 6 other people.

Up to this point, I was happily sitting on my computer in my yoga pants with my earbuds in, taking notes, ya know, anonymously.

But now I was going to be thrown into a virtual room, camera ON, with strangers, to talk about successes in our business, with no notice at all!

I panicked.

I quit zoom and shut the lid to the laptop. It happened so fast, I didn't even know I had done it! A complete fight or flight response 😏

After a few seconds, I gathered my thoughts, and I knew what I had to do.

I took a deep breath. 🧘‍♀️

I opened the laptop. And I joined the discussion.

Here's the thing - when you FEAR something, it's a sign it's something you should LEAN INTO.

Fear can be conquered, and your next-level in your life is always on the other side of that fear.

So go ahead and take a listen now!

020: How to Bounce Back QUICKLY After Missing a Goal

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

If you have set goals for 2023 or more importantly, if you DIDN'T set goals for 2023 because you already figured you wouldn't hit them anyway, then this episode is a MUST-LISTEN! (and it's only 15 minutes! 🕝)

In today's episode, I talk about my own experience missing goals in my own business. If you have ever missed a goal yourself, then you can probably relate! It felt so bad, and I created a negative meaning about my own capabilities because of it, that I completely skipped setting a goal the following year.

And it took me YEARS to come out of that negative cycle, because I didn't even know I was in it!

But what if YOU could catch and change this belief, now? Then you don't have to wait for years, like I did. You can take the shortcut!

Seriously -- your goals are too important to let them just linger. I want you to DO LIFE BIG and that means going after your goals - and it doesn't matter if you fell short on them before!

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

In today's podcast, we are going to tackle HAPPINESS!

So many of us are stressed out and constantly filling our heads with worry, doubt, and fear. We may have a hard time just living in the present moment!

If that's how you feel, then this episode is for you! I give you three quick tips you can use right now to live more in the moment!

First, I teach you how to become aware that you are the one putting the negative thoughts into your mind in the first place.

Secondly, I help you get the negative thoughts out of your head and (literally) BURN 🔥 them.

Finally, I give you some strategies to help you make things more simple, instead of more complex. One of the things I hear from my students all the time when the lightbulb goes off is that it was so much simpler than they expected... they just had to get out of their own way!

Happiness and joy doesn't have to be this elusive thing "for other people". Listen in to today's episode and make sure to DM me @katherinereuter after you put these tips into action!

018: Keeping Your Inner Peace When Life Gets Crazy!

Mon, 26 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever felt like you just can't stay on top of all the things? If you are anything like me, then you have definitely felt this way!

I LOVE the holiday season ... but it's also a time of so many things happening at once! For me, it's not just Christmas and New Year's - but also the season of both of my parent's birthday and my daughter's birthday. School events, decorating, getting together with friends, it's like non-stop!

Does this already make you feel overwhelmed? 🤪

🎙In This week's podcast I talk about how it's OK to slow down sometimes to shift focus in different seasons of your life, and how it's also OK to say "no" to certain things!

For example, I used to bake these amazing Christmas cookies that were delicious, but they would take the entire day to make! So now I make a simple recipe that still gives me enough time to sit with my husband and kids and watch a holiday movie!

Remember - slowing down does NOT make you lazy, or a slacker! There is always time to speed up again!

017: Manifesting Your Dream Life in 2023!

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Are you ready to finally make the new year, YOUR year? The year you stop giving yourself excuses and start giving yourself the results you've been wanting?

🎙In This week's podcast I talk about manifesting YOUR best year ever in 2023!

Whatever you have been focusing on in your life, that is what you are going to get more of. So if you are filling you mind with self-doubt and limiting beliefs, then you will produce more self-doubt and build more limitations!

But if you become aware of this and learn to master your inner dialogue, then you can use that power to help create a positive focus in your life and put your attention on things going RIGHT!

016: Is Your Attention In The Right Place?

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever felt like you wanted to create something in your life so badly but it's just not happening?

A lot of times we THINK that we are focusing on that thing that we REALLY want, but without even realizing it we are focusing on what we DON'T want. And a lot of times, we don't even know we are doing this!

An example of this is if you want to go on a vacation with your family but you don't currently have the money in the bank. You know you really want to go on this vacation, but you are subconsciously focused on the fact that the money for this trip doesn't exist. You subconsciously have on repeat, "I can't afford this." or "I am broke."

What happens here then is that you are focused on the lack of resources to make this vacation happen - and when this happens, you actually attract MORE lack into your life!

Instead, shift your focus on what you CAN DO to earn more money, or how you can save more money. Focus on the strategies to solve the situation, and then see it happening in the future vs putting your attention and focus on the problem!

In this week's podcast, I talk all about this concept - including my dad's battle with Leukemia and how his focus and attention was one of the major factors in his getting through his war with cancer!

015: Dealing with Missed Expectations

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever really built something up in your mind, and then when things don't go as planned, you get bummed out, stressed, or maybe even a little angry?

Last week, I went on a cruise with my family, and boy do I have some GREAT stories to share with you about how things went!

Without giving away too much, in just the first 45 minutes of getting on the ship my 3 year old:

😵 Had a meltdown getting his photo taken for his boarding pass
🌊 Threw his blanky over the balcony railing,
🤮 Vomited all over the floor in our cabin

As you can imagine, this did not start Day #1 of our "relaxing family cruise" 😆 off the way I had imagined it!

🎙In this week's podcast, I talk all about what happens when you have missed expectations, and ways to deal with those missed expectations!

Because the thing is, life will NEVER go as you have it planned, but that's also OK! There are always things to be thankful and grateful for, even when things go a little (or a LOT) sideways!

014: An 80 Year Old with an Oxygen Tank Beat Me....

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Way back in 2009, my husband and I ran the Boston Marathon. This was like a bucket list item for me. I always wanted to run a marathon to prove to myself I could do it!

One of my most vivid memories, is around mile 13 / 14 when this older guy who was at least 80 years old, passed me. I was running (really, trudging!) and this guy slowly passes me, and behind him he has this cart with an oxygen tank attached to it and the tube running to his nose.

I remember my husband saying, "Kathi, come on! We can't let this guy pass us!" and I just though to myself ... well pssscccchh.. he has oxygen! Of course he has an advantage! 🤣

That day has a lot of memories, but the reason I bring this story up is actually about the power of visualization, which got me to that point to begin with!

In this week's podcast, I talk about how I completed that race, which is way out of my comfort zone., including how visualization helped me get through the mental struggles of running a marathon!

It doesn't matter if YOU want to run a marathon or not - the power of visualization is something you can use to help you with any goal that you have. Maybe a marathon, but also a business goal, family goal, relationship goal, or financial goal!

013: Are You Messing Up Enough To Succeed?

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Wow, do I know what it feels like to SCREW IT UP!

I remember when I started my first online business 8-1/2 years ago; I was the most SALESY person you could imagine!. I would make posts on my social media with pictures of products I was selling, or maybe me holding them and smiling.

I remember how ICKY I felt. Like, the feeling you get when shopping for a used car. 🤢

What a turnoff!

In this week's Do Life Big Podcast, I reflect on how it was just a screw up along the way to building success, something to LEARN from!

I never expect my path to be perfect! Success is never a straight line, despite how it may seem on social media.

This concept or Ready, Fire, Aim - shoot first and THEN adjust after you see where landed - is the real path to moving forward. You will learn more from your mistakes than you ever will from your successes!

That salesy person I was - taught me how NOT to be. It gave me the contrast I needed to change the way I operated in my business so it felt HELPFUL instead of ANNOYING. And that made it fun to be a part of!

As much as we'd love to take easy street to our goals, and just have everything go perfectly, that's just not the way life works!

Give this week's episode a listen to help you identify if you are screwing up enough to really build success in your future!

012: Why it took me 3-1/2 YEARS to lose 35 pounds!

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever been STUCK for so long, and you just can't figure out how to BREAKTHROUGH to the next level?

You are doing all the things... but just not making any progress?

In today's episode, I talk about my own experience with this, and use my example of trying to get back into SHAPE as I turned 40 years old!

I started building this negative story about my age and what that meant in terms of what was possible for me. People around me would say things like "you are 40 now", "You've had 3 kids", to justify why I wasn't making progress.

I was working out, but my mindset wasn't right. Because of that, my actions weren't right.

I'd sneak off the kids plates when I made them grilled cheese or chicken nuggets.

I'd have a couple extra Captain's mid-week.

At the same point in time, I would look at other people I knew who were the same age as me, or even older, who were making it happen. Feeling and looking GREAT. And I flipped the "switch" in my mind. I turned around those limiting beliefs around my age, and my metabolism, and around my post-baby body.

And you can guess what happened next! I'll be 41 next month and I can tell you know, I'm feeling AMAZING!

But it doesn't happen by accident!

011: ⏲ The Perfect Time Doesn't Exist!

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

There will never be the perfect TIME.

If we wait for the time to be right, the truth is we will be waiting FOREVER. Waiting for the kids to be older ... for more money in our bank account... for our family to finally support us ... whatever it might be!

But here's the thing.

You aren't really waiting for those external situations to be lined up the right way.

You are really waiting on YOURSELF to be ready.

When you want to accomplish or do something- THAT is the RIGHT time!

010: People Who Create MASSIVE Success Have This One Thing in Common

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0400

The One Thing All Successful People Have In Common!

Last weekend, I flew out to Phoenix (Yep, again, I was there actually two weekends in a row ..... can you say jetlagged?? ✈ 🤣)

Believe it or not, for me, this trip was 100% out of my comfort zone. I've traveled a lot for my previous business, but at every event I went to, I knew someone there, and usually went with Nick.

This event I went to last weekend, I literally knew NO ONE. So I had to go into rooms and just meet people out of the blue.

Some people thrive in those situations, but for me it was a challenge! But I also know that if I want to grow and learn, then I have to be OK with being uncomfortable. I have to be OK with doing something that makes me scared or nervous!

And I'm SO GLAD I went - the ⚡ energy at the event was mind-blowing 🤯 I learned SO much from the amazing speakers and met so many absolutely AMAZING entrepreneurs and podcasters.

BUT - the ONE thing that I found fascinating was the common🧵 thread among all the speakers there who had massive 6-figure and 7-figure success, and even one speaker who sold her IT Cosmetics business for over a BILLION dollars 😵...

Once they built a belief system that was aligned with their goals - there was no 🛑 stopping them!

They, deep down inside, KNEW what they wanted to accomplish. This is one of the main reasons I created Reignite Your Self Belief LIVE which is kicking off this week! 🎉🥳 - I know that when you have the right beliefs in place, you become LIMITLESS!

009: What To Do When You Begin To Lose Belief in Yourself!

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0400

If you don't first BELIEVE in YOURSELF, then all the ACTION in the world won't get you closer to your goal.

That might be a hard pill to swallow for you.

I've been thinking a lot about self-belief recently.

In my past eight years as an entrepreneur, I've come across SO MANY peeps who struggle with just simply BELIEVING in themselves.

.......Maybe you've been there as well?

I think back to when we were little kids - the WORLD was FULL of possibility, optimism and HOPE!

My kids Landon & Kiersten right now have a vision for their life of literally building a secret base with an arcade and movie theater in a floor of our house that doesn't even exist yet. It only exists in their MIND! 🧠

Then, as we get older, basically - SH&T Happens. Maybe a relationship falls apart, or we start a business and fail. A person we respect or admire shoots down your dream or idea. A family member, friend, or even spouse doesn't believe in you.

And THEN, what our brains do is STACK these little failures next to what we THOUGHT our life would look like, and it makes you feel like total garbage.

Right? I mean - You thought you'd be SO MUCH FURTHER AHEAD by now than you actually are!

So what happens in this type of situation so often, especially as we move into our late 20's and beyond, is that we build a meaning, an IDENTITY, around what we thought would happen, and slowly... that inner spark starts to die out.

BUT FEAR NOT!

In this week's Do Life Big podcast, I've got some awesome TIPS and REFRAMING for you to stop that (frankly) BULLSHIT story you have been telling yourself (Because it's literally a made-up story!).

008: 🎉 Celebrating your Small Wins!

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Why you should be CELEBRATING your SLOW🐢 progress!

One of the stories that I hear quite often from my students is that they are doing work but the changes they want in their lives are happening s.l.o.w.l.y.

Here's the deal though!! Even slow progress is still PROGRESS!

In today's world of social media, it's easy to think others are doing things faster and quicker than you, but really that's almost always not a true perception. And even if someone IS doing something faster than you, .... SO WHAT?

Celebrate your wins along the way, because as long as you are taking steps towards the things that you want, then you are DOING IT, and you should be freakin' PROUD of that! 🥳🙌🥂

In this week's Do Life Big podcast, I talk all about progress and also cover reframing your failures as learning opportunities so you don't let a slip-up from the past derail you from the FUTURE you really WANT!

⚡ 6 Quick Strategies to Deal with STRESS

Do you get easily overwhelmed when you get STRESSED OUT?

Of course! I do too, it's completely normal to feel that way. The problem is, when you are feeling totally strung out, it's almost impossible to make good decisions get out of that stress. Or even just work through it. So you get even more stressed, and then it's just this negative downward spiral.

In this week's Do Life Big podcast, I talk all about stress, and give you SIX, super easy and actionable things YOU can do to help "reset" and approach that stressful situation with a little more clarity and calm.

Breathing techniques
Gratitude exercises
Going for a walk/ moving your body
Writing down the situation or journaling
Laugh / find some humor
Listening to calming or relaxing music

I talk in detail about each of these and give you some tips on how to apply them, and why they work!

006: 🌀 Hurricane Ian and CONTROLLING the Controllable!

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Focusing on what you can control, even during a Hurricane 🌀!

This has been an interesting week for me - If you weren't aware, my family and I live in Gulf Coast Florida, and this past week we had to evacuate our home which is in a flood zone to avoid Hurricane Ian.

This is, obviously, a very stressful situation - we had to prepare our house, move stuff up high on shelves in case it floods, and pack up the car and off we go. Myself + Husband, our 3 kids, our dog 🐕‍🦺 Kali, and my son's hedgehog Maple. 🦔

The thing is, we didn't know what we would come back to. In a worst-case scenario, our house could be completely destroyed along with all of our "stuff".

In this episode, I talk all about how we have to focus on what we can control.

I sure as heck can't control a freakin' hurricane, but I know what I can control - my mind, and my thoughts about the potential outcomes.

I can control my actions - the decision to evacuate. What to pack. How to prepare our house.

Of course, we know bad things can happen - and this storm did a LOT of bad things further south from where we live - but that's nothing that I can do anything about. So hope for the best, plan for the worst.

I also give you four tips to help YOU control the controllable

Being aware of and noticing your own thoughts
Reminding yourself that YOU Control the thoughts that go into your head
Visualizing a positive outcome - don't focus on the worst-case scenario
Work on changing the words you are thinking about the situation to a positive situation

Remember, focusing on the controllable doesn't mean not acknowledging that bad things happen - it just means you aren't putting your energy on something that hasn't even happened yet!

005: The #1 Thing to CHANGE When You Plateau!

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0400

The #1 Thing to CHANGE When You Plateau!

A lot of times, when we feel self-doubt creeping in and sabotaging us, or we hit a roadblock on the way towards our goals, we work on attacking the symptoms rather than the actual problem.

In my business that I started eight years ago, I had lots of success in my first year. But then I hit a roadblock. My business growth plateaued, and I started to get in my head about it.

To solve the problem, I thought I had to just work HARDER, and do MORE of the things.

But the problem is, they weren’t inspired activities, because my mindset wasn’t right. I was approaching it with frustration and even irritation 😤

So what happened? I grew even MORE frustrated, because my activity level and effort increased, but my results didn’t change!

Eventually (like, 2 YEARS later), I finally connected the dots that my own self-doubt was making my actions worthless.

It’s like - if you want to build muscle, and you go to the gym, but you just pick the lightest weights and never push yourself. You just won’t progress. You are taking action, but it’s not inspired. The action isn’t taken with the right mindset.

So, if you are plateaued in your own life in some way, instead of thinking what can I DO to fix this situation, try looking internally and getting present to how you are FEELING and THINKING about that plateau.

In this week’s podcast, I go into detail on how I became aware of my problem, and how I went through the mental journey of resolving it.

Remember: you can take all the action in the world, but if you have core beliefs that are contrary to what you want, then you will just be on a stationary bike - spinning your wheels, working hard, but not actually going anywhere!

004: Your CHALLENGES are where you GROW 🌱

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Your CHALLENGES are here for you to overcome!

The way you think about the challenges in your life is a big indicator of what is possible for you! In today's episode of Do Life Big, I talk about how you should run TOWARD your challenges, not AWAY from them.

These times of challenge are hardship are those crucial moments where, if you stay open-minded, you can have the BIGGEST breakthroughs and personal growth!

For example, when I started my first business a little over eight years ago; I was in a situation where I had left my teaching job to raise my two kids, and my husband and I had gotten ourselves into over $35,000 of credit card debt 💳, and climbing each week. We had completely drained our savings account. I had to do something different to address this challenge. Instead of just retreating and returning to work and putting my kids in daycare, I was determined to find a way to make it work.

I started that business in little slivers of time in my day - during a nap, in the car, after my kids went to bed. And I built a business that not only ended our rough financial situation but opened up many new doors and opportunities. That would never have happened if I hadn't faced the challenge!

I talk in this episode all about how to reframe your challenges, and identify the opportunities within them. And that every problem has a solution.

Stick around to the end, because I also share my list of TOP DOS and DONTS when it comes to staying in a positive headspace around your challenges and hurdles!

003: How to get MOTIVATED when you don't FEEL like it!

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0400

In this week's Do Life Big podcast, I talk all about what to do when you just aren't feeling it.

We've all had these down days, right? You pop out of bed and things start to go wrong right out of the gate. At that point, it's easy to let the entire day get away from you 😩

This is totally normal. Everyone has days like that. But you don't have to lose the entire day to that feeling of "blah".

I use what I call my 🛠 "toolkit" ⛏ to help bring me back around! I've got some things I do that make me feel better, and to help ME dictate my mood instead of letting my mood dictate MY DAY.

Here are some examples of things in my "toolkit"

Loud music in my earbuds 🎶
Getting in a workout 💪
Listening to something that will make me laugh or inspire me 😂
A BIG iced coffee ☕
Going for a drive in the convertible with the top down 🌴

Your Toolkit might have some of the same things in it, or it might have something completely different. Here are some other examples:

Yoga, or breathwork 🧘‍♀️
Go for a walk 🚶‍♀️
Call someone who can lift you up ⬆
Get your nails done, or a massage 💅
Dancing

Besides the toolkit, play close attention to who you spend time with when you feel unmotivated or uninspired. Do you get with people that lift you UP , out of the funk, or do you have people who just wallow along with you? The people you surround yourself with matter, BIG TIME!

Don't forget - YOU are responsible for your feelings. Be your own HYPE PERSON!

And get that toolkit ready for when you need it!
