Many of us stay in uncomfortable situations because they validate a deeply held old identity.

In this episode, Katie discusses the powerful act of surrender and why you don't have to make what's not working work.

She explains that the exhaustion and scarcity you feel are signals that you are at a threshold.

By reaching a "final no more" moment—that point of rock bottom—you are invited to finally release the need for control, logic, and certainty. This surrender opens you up to receive the divine wisdom and clarity needed to take the next step toward your dream life.

• The Secret is in Releasing: The answer to moving forward isn't in figuring it out; it's in the act of releasing what you know can't go with you (old identities, relationships, fears).

• The Power of Rock Bottom: Feeling trapped is a sign you are on the cusp of becoming your most powerful self. It’s a portal to strip away the masks and self-protective behaviors.

• Trust the Unseen: The need to know the "how" is the single greatest thing holding you back. Choose to trust a higher power and allow the divine flow to guide you.

• Thoughts Create Reality: Your outer world mirrors your inner beliefs. You control the power to change your story and step into a life of limitless abundance.

• Affirmation: Choose the belief today: "I trust that there is a power working on my behalf, moving me to freedom."

• Shift Your Focus: Detach your attention from what you don't want. Ask instead: "What do I truly desire my life to feel like?" and walk in that direction.

Are you stuck in the groundhog's day loop, wondering why you can't seem to start or achieve the life you desire?

You have deep desires—a dream job, a loving relationship, a new life location—but you feel an invisible wall blocking your progress.

In this episode of Voice of Moxie, Katie, uncovers the ultimate trap keeping you from your goals: the need for certainty and the prison of your comfort zone.

• The Comfort Zone Trap: Discover how your nervous system's familiarity with your "norm" (homeostasis) keeps you stuck, even if that norm is toxic dysfunction. Learn why waiting for comfort is the biggest roadblock to personal progress and achieving your dreams.

• Limiting Beliefs vs. Action: We dive deep into subconscious programming and how limiting beliefs (stories we tell ourselves about our worth) prevent you from taking consistent action. Katie shares her personal journey of feeling unworthy to be visible and how she broke free.

• Identity Alignment: Understand the Law of Sustainment—you cannot sustain action that is out of alignment with your self-concept. Learn how to align your identity by choosing a new belief, such as "I am a writer" or "I am worthy," to propel you toward your goals.

• Embrace Discomfort (The Path to Growth): Stop waiting for motivation to strike! True growth and progress require you to intentionally move into the discomfort of the unknown. Katie offers powerful metaphors (like toddlers learning to walk and riding a bike) to illustrate how failure is simply feedback on the path to self-improvement.

• The Power of Trust: You don't need all the steps or how-to's figured out! Learn to silence the "sensor" (your protective ego mind) and choose faith and trust in your higher self. The universe is conspiring for you to reclaim your power and fulfillment.

If you're ready to stop waiting, break free from the hamster loop, and start living the life you desire, this episode is your guide to taking that first, messy step.

Voice of Moxie is the space where power is the new pretty and women rise. Katie is here to walk with you as you reclaim your power, your purpose, and your most delicious desires.

Welcome back, my friends!

In this episode, we’re going straight to the core of why we struggle with making lasting change:

Identity.

If you’ve ever had a goal—whether it's running a marathon, becoming an entrepreneur, or simply maintaining consistency—only to find yourself constantly hitting that wall of resistance and quitting, this is your wake-up call.

The identity you hold right now, based on past programming and limiting beliefs, is perfectly designed to keep you living the life you currently have.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

• The Misalignment Block: We confuse external action (the "doing") with internal identity (the "being"). You can’t try to be an author if your core belief is "I'm not a finisher."
• Your Identity is Fluid: The most important truth is that your identity is not fixed. It’s just a hardwired set of beliefs, and you have the divine power to change every single one of them.
• The Shift: We must stop recreating the past in the present and start living from the Future Identity—the version of you who is already achieving your deepest desires.
• Actionable Exercise: I walk you through the simple paper exercise to compare your current identity vs. your desired identity and show you how to start taking "votes" for your future self today.
• The Power of Lofty Questions: Learn how asking questions like, "Why am I such a successful [New Identity]?" bypasses the critical mind and quickly rewires your subconscious belief system.

This isn’t about faking it 'til you make it. I’s about rewiring your brain to operate from a new, higher baseline. Begin the practice this week, Love. The life you dream of is waiting for the version of you who can hold it.
