(12:15) Tips for women in businesses that aren’t at the level they aspire to be at:
- Used to be quick to judge and on edge to fight for what I wanted
- When my first business failed I blamed others and outside scenarios — we need to grasp ownership on what went wrong

(32:15) Katie’s experiences along the journey that motivated her:
- Always so tired of seeing people with things I wanted
- Once realized that I could have all that with direction (vision board) — just need to give yourself permission of your desires
(34:15) Women who feel like they need a change in life, how to start your journey:
- Ask yourself “how would it feel to be your best self” — create a vision board/journal
- Ask yourself if you’re ready to live unapologetically in your truth
- Journal your desires and your future
- Write down the things that would need to be in place to create this reality
- Write down the people you want in your life
- Write down personal growth and development
