Imperfectly Impactful with Cat Roten

*Potential trigger warning*
This episode is a special one. Something on my heart recently told me to share my life the last 4-6 years leading up to where I am today.
Like many others, I was on autopilot.  I was doing things to numb out the stress, anxiety, and overwhelm I was feeling on a daily basis trying to be the PERFECT and BEST version of myself for others.
Or so I thought that was what I was trying to do. Listen in to hear about how I worked through these bad habits and became aware of what I was actually doing. How I went from numbing my emotions, to living with them, and all the in between.

I have heard so many different ways to think about the season of life I am currently in. Relating to actual weather seasons; winter or spring. But recently, someone sent me a post about the season of Waiting.
Waiting is difficult. I don't know about you but I can get impatient not knowing how long I will actually be waiting or stress about what is to come. 
In this episode, I share how I am living in the waiting season, planting seeds, waiting for them to start growing. Life has drastically changed for me and continues to. The future is unknown so it is time to start living in the present!

This episode is for you if you have been putting off or not clarifying your goals and dreams for this year. Or maybe you have your goals but we are 4 months in and they feel impossible. 
It is not too late to reassess your goals if they are still aligned and maybe even get more specific. But probably most importantly, you need to determine the action steps you have to take to accomplish the goal. Without action steps, it is easy to get lost and not know how to get closer to succeeding.
Join me today as I share the steps to creating or assessing your goals, how to take the action, and determine what is holding you back.

Does fear, overwhelm, procrastination, and the unknown hold you back from doing the thing? Personally or professionally, many of us experience resistance in different forms. And usually, we let this resistance, the negative thoughts or limiting beliefs, hold us back from going after our dreams.
In this episode, I challenge you to look resistance in the face, accept it, and take the first step. If you don't take the first step, there is no change, there is no trial or error, there is no success or failure. "If your not doing the scary, then you are not learning or growing".
It's time to fight the resistance and keep learning and growing!

What IS breathwork and WHY is it important for us to start implementing in our daily lives? It may not be what you think it is.
This episode, I get to sit down with Sam Kabert to dive into his journey to finding breathwork and go even deeper into what breathwork is, why we ALL should be adding this into our lives, and how even the slight awareness of our breath can impact us drastically.
Sam is releasing his sixth book, Overcoming the Overwhelm, where he shares his 6 step BREATH process. During this episode, he explains the overarching concept of this process. So if you are ready to learn more and start to take action, listen in to the episode and learn more about Sam below!

I don't know about anyone else, but life has been lifing lately (I know not a word!). For the first time, I have started making decisions for ME, what I want to doing, what makes me happy, excited, feel purpose, etc.
For too long, I lived my life doing what everyone else thought and told me to do. Then, I started asking myself the question, what could I be doing to make me happy? 
Now it is your turn, listen in to get motivated to start going after your dreams and YOUR ultimate happiness!

*PARDON THE SOUND QUALITY ON THIS EPISODE*
This episode was inspired during my trip to visit my sister in Europe. It was the first time in a long time, I disconnected for longer than 3 days. The question that came up for me throughout the week, "What have I been missing around me because of my phone, social media, worried/stressed thoughts?"
 
When you take the time to put your phone down and be present in the moment, it is amazing to see what is around you. Listen in to this episode to hear a little about what I came to realize I have been missing, and for you to start thinking about what in your life you could be missing as well!
