Stop fighting against the current of your life.
Start aligning with it.
I Thought I Was Prepared. I Was Wrong.
Jen approached the empty nest phenomenon the way many high-functioning, self-aware women approach big life transitions - she saw it coming, read about it, talked about it, worked on it, prepared for it, and tried to get out ahead of it.
And then her son left for college… and the reality sank in.
In this episode of Life: By Design — Going Deeper, I’m joined by Jen Liddy, for a conversation about the life transitions we often see coming… and still cannot fully prepare for!
You Don't Have to Be Right to Write.
Most of us have been led to believe that writing is a skill, and it’s something you either have - or you don’t. Terri Trespicio disagrees… and after this conversation, you probably will too. There’s no such thing as writer’s block, she says.
There’s just the desire to write — and the desire to be right.
If your fear of being wrong overrides everything else, you won’t write. That’s it.
The Art of Swimming & Surrender
How I Stopped Fighting and Started Flowing.
I used to think success came from just pushing harder and doing MORE. That if I just kept going — putting in more effort and digging in with more willpower — eventually something would give and I’d have a breakthrough.
And a swimming pool provided me with that breakthrough moment…
I wasn’t working harder - in fact, I felt like I was using a lot less energy - but I stopped overriding the natural intelligence that was already there.

"Kate and The Growth Cycle process grounds and focuses me. She helps my right and left brain play nicely together. Kate meets me right where I am every time and then gently pushes me forward on my path…. Invaluable."

"Kate's insights have been invaluable.
Her unique and customized approach draws on symbols, metaphor, nature itself, to help you gain clarity and connect with your natural rhythm - and access your own wisdom. To me, she's a modern version of a fairy godmother, in cowboy boots, with an ear to the wind and her finger on the pulse of meaning.”
