In this Monday Mindset episode, Kim calls out the toxic idea that moving fast equals success—and why your exhaustion isn’t a personal failing. It’s a sign your system is refusing to perform for someone else’s timeline.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why slowing down is the most strategic move you can make
✅ How to recognize the difference between laziness and misalignment
✅ The power of a simple Pace Audit to reclaim your energy

💡 Tangible Takeaway:
Create a Pace Audit with two columns:
1️⃣ Things that speed you up (and deplete you)
2️⃣ Things that slow you down (and nourish you)

Then, pick one thing to slow down this week—on purpose.

✨ Your Monday Mantra:
“My pace is not a problem. It’s part of my power.”

In this raw, unfiltered episode, Kim brings you behind closed doors to share the real-life chaos of being a default parent, military spouse, mom, business owner, and builder—all while trying to stay true to her values.

From PCS’ing in January, selling a home in May, closing the deal in July, and then facing a delayed build (thanks to a surprise retaining wall), she reveals how her personal goals and core values went toe-to-toe…and how she fought back.

1. Recognizing the Misalignment

• The difference between doing more vs. being more

• How “values vs. demands” tension shows up in your daily life

• Why splitting the difference isn’t working—and how it breaks you

2. Real Pivot Strategies

• The power of saying no to launches and hiring help

• Using a somatic approach to offload stress and reclaim safety

3. Micro-Presence Practices

• Daily rituals that reconnect with what matters

Welcome to the very first Monday Mindset with Kim.

This isn’t your typical Monday morning motivation. This is a call to stop hustling for validation and start honoring what actually matters.

In this kickoff episode, Kim dives deep into the myth that you have to start every week at full throttle to be worthy. Instead, she’s sharing how presence—not performance—is the most powerful reset you can give yourself.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why “balance” is a lie that keeps you stuck
✅ How to replace urgency with intention
✅ A reframe to start your week grounded, not just productive

💡 Tangible Takeaway:
Instead of making another to-do list, ask yourself:

• What does leadership look like for me this week?

• Where can I be present instead of performing?

• What decision can I make today to reclaim my energy?

✨ Your Monday Mantra:
“I don’t rush to keep up. I lead from what’s real.”

Warrior Forward: The Podcast—because you don’t need more noise. You need clarity, courage, and conscious leadership.

This episode is for every high-achieving woman who built the life she thought she wanted... only to realize she’s exhausted, disconnected, and quietly wondering, Is this all there is?

In this raw, powerful birthday reflection, host Kim Walsh pulls back the curtain on the grief, growth, and gut-punch moments that cracked her wide open—and led her to rebuild everything with deeper presence, purpose, and peace.

You’ll hear the real story behind the evolution of Warrior Forward and the creation of EROS, a coaching experience rooted in somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and fulfillment-driven leadership. Kim gets personal about leaving behind her hometown, launching her daughter into college, and shedding the skin of who she had to be to survive.

If you’re a female founder, executive, or cycle-breaking mother navigating your own “second act,” this episode is a love letter to your rebirth. It’s time to stop performing success—and start embodying it.
