My Dead Dragon

Often we find ourselves caught up in the stories we tell without even realizing the negative impact they are having on our very core. It's not until we become aware of this fact, that the story pauses and a new perspective is born. We go from believing we are unlucky, unworthy, or unloveable to believing that we are enough.This pause in our negative thought process changes the direction our story had us heading and makes room for our new beliefs to take hold. Reframing our thoughts and looking for a different perspective in our every day is where healing and happiness begin.Are you ready to reframe your story?KATHERINE'S TAKEAWAYS:Intro (00:00)Put It Into Practice (7:08)Being Self-Aware (11:00)Very Caring Human Being (16:50)It's A Blessing (22:20)Changing Your Perspective (28:11)I Love My Life (33:20)ABOUT NIKITA MCCULLOCHA passionate lover of all things in life, with a drive to explore greater possibilities of personal growth. After completing her Bachelor's Degree in Sociology, she found herself moving to the edge of the world, i.e., Ucluelet, to pursue her passion in baking and pastry. Now she is the manager and lead pastry chef for the Petro Bake Shop, with dreams of owning her own bakery by the ocean. Nikita has been across the world and visited places such as Japan, France, England and Ireland. While these grand adventures were primarily for exploration, her goal is to work and travel around the world as a pastry chef and learn new and fun recipes to bring back to her bakery, Serendipitous Sweets. Her motto is to spread an abundant amount of love and sunshine through food. When Nikita isn't baking, she is often writing in her journal, basking in a ray of sunlight or exploring the wilderness in her backyard. https://www.instagram.com/nikitas.serendipitous.sweets/ABOUT KATHERINE LORANGER Certified Transformational Life Coach, best-selling author and founder of Katalyst Coaching, Katherine Loranger asserts to the bold and determined that life is theirs for the taking.

Heather's mission is helping heart centered entrepreneurs take their place amongst the wealthy so we can “up-level” the world. She joins Katherine on My Dead Dragon this week to tell her story of owning who she is and knowing that she doesn't need to be isolated and do it all by herself. KEY TAKEAWAYSA lot of people need to make the decision to do it by themselves, but Heather needed to learn to stop finding things out for herself, and to just ask for help instead. Friends were so much better than feeling isolated. “I have overcome a 25 year marriage where I didn't believe I was abused, but a week after I moved out, he shot himself in front of me. As I ran away I stopped and looked back to see if he had faked it. It was still another 4 months before I realised I had been severely mentally abused.“Heather says there are three kinds of freedom. They are health, freedom from oppression, and freedom of expression. Women in abusive relationships aren't weak, they're often some of the strongest people on the planet, protecting others. As bad as things get, it creates who you are. You'll never take on more than you can handle.

Do you want to discover your toxic load and lower it, and discover your body’s imbalances and then bring your body back into balance, at which point it will heal itself. This week on My Dead Dragon, Katherine is joined by Melissa Deally, an Integrative Health Practitioner & Registered Health Coach, dedicated to helping her clients discover the root cause of their health issue and truly heal. She tells her story of starting Your Guided Health Journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Melissa compared the life of her Grandmother to hers. Her Grandmother was born in 1916, in New Zealand, growing all her own food. Melissa grew up in Tokyo in the 1970s, the height of manufacturing plants spewing out toxins. Her Grandmother lived in her own home and died in her sleep at 101, whereas in the US today, people die over 10 years in a nursing home. When we know the imbalances, deficiencies, and the toxic load in our bodies, then we know exactly how to remove them and bring the body back into balance because the body is designed to heal itself. When one door closes another one opens. You have to have the right mindset and choose to step past that and through the new door. There are so many little steps we need to take on our journey, and our journey isn’t always a straight line, it zigzags. Making connections and learning from others is a great way to grow as a person and move towards your goals while being supported.

Can anyone be a great leader? And if they can, how can you raise your self confidence to meet expectations? Leadership Strengths Coach and author of H.E.R. Story – The Day She Stopped, Consuela Muñoz joins Katherine on My Dead Dragon this week to discuss leadership. Find out the three steps Consuela teaches her clients to be the most amazing person and leader that they were meant to be. KEY TAKEAWAYS Consuela knew she was meant for more when she realized that she was average. Everything in her life was average. It was then that she decided she didn’t want to be average, she wanted to make an impact. She knew nobody was coming to her rescue, so she had to do it herself. Ask yourself, what are your strengths, what do you love to do, what would make you happy? The more questions you ask yourself, the more complete the answer will be. We all have the ability inside us not just to be leaders, but be great leaders. You can take steps to discover this through celebrating your gifts, engaging your strengths, and owning your confidence. Those are the three steps Consuela teaches. People want to work for confident leaders and confidence really raises your presence. There's no reason to settle for just average when there’s greatness inside of every one of us. You are meant to have an impact in this world, and when you know what your ‘more’ is meant to be, that impact will become apparent to you. BEST MOMENTS ‘It allowed me to see a glimpse of what greatness was inside me’ ‘From now on every step I take is towards that big vision’ ‘Everyone is a leader’ ‘We’re going to celebrate the gifts and the strengths we have’ EPISODE RESOURCES Newsletter Sign Up Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/subscribe Free Downloadable Vision Mediation Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/FreeMeditation Consuela on LinkedIn ABOUT THE GUEST Consuela Muñoz is a Speaker, and Leadership Strengths Coach. Author of H.E.R. Story – The Day She Stopped. Leaders hire her to master the power of leadership because most dismiss their natural leadership style, lack confidence, and lose their top performers. Consuela helps them discover their leadership strengths, build their confidence, and attract the best. Bottom line, you’ll be the confident leader everyone would love to work with.

As a successful woman, do you feel stalled and frustrated with your career because of emotional residues that are holding you back? Sue Wilhite has made it her life mission to make sure successful people get off their “Yeah-Butt.” She is now an International #1 best-selling author, award-winning show host, Law of Attraction coach, and Certified Biofield Tuning™ Practitioner. Sue joins Katherine on My Dead Dragon to talk about when you need to ask for help and when you’ve got to do it for yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sue reached the top of her career in just six years. Being the go to IT person, she felt that all she was doing all day was serving other people and being weighed down by the stress of it all, eventually developing an ulcer. It was a hypnotherapist who eventually managed to make her feel better. This made her want to go off and learn how to do it, and in 18 months that’s exactly what she did, leaving her six figure income. Accept help where you can, some tasks are impossible for any human to do without somebody to help or give advice or share their wisdom. We are one and as Sue puts it, we are all drops of the divine. Together we make something bigger. We have our conscious mind and our subconscious mind. We ask for help with our conscious mind but our subconscious is in conflict with that. Our subconscious tells us that we’re not ready to succeed and we want to twist people’s words to suit our pre-formed narratives. No one will value you as much as you do, so get it into your head that you are the hero, you are the main character in your own story. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was so thrilled to find another female podcaster talking about the hero's journey’ ‘The Princess wasn’t always the goal, sometimes they’re the hero’ ‘The human journey is a growth journey’ ‘It’s just a thought, and a thought can be changed’ EPISODE RESOURCES Newsletter Sign Up Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/subscribeFree Downloadable Vision Mediation Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/FreeMeditation5 Steps to Eliminating fear [or, How to Answer Your Call to Action]Sweet Sound of Successfacebook.com/SweetSoundofSuccessinstagram.com/positivelysuccesslinkedin.com/in/suewilhiteSweet Sound of Success on YouTubeHero's Journey for the Entrepreneur's Soul ABOUT THE GUEST Reaching the top of her profession in six years, Sue Wilhite had to endure a health issue in the form of an Ulcer. She realised that these types of illnesses are common in the corporate world and especially in successful women because of their high-pressure careers and responsibilities. She became aware that successful women feel stalled and frustrated with their careers because of emotional residues that are holding them back. Sue has made it her life mission to make sure successful people get off their “Yeah-Butt.” She is now an International #1 best-selling author,...

Does this sound like you, stuck in a job that doesn’t reward you enough but still keeps you away from your friends and family for too much of the day. Rachel Hansen of Optimised Office joins Katherine on this week's My Dead Dragon to tell her story of deciding to design her life by making a change when the ‘push’ moment came around. Hear Rachels tale of becoming the main character and doing it for herself on the journey to becoming an entrepreneur. KEY TAKEAWAYS Like so many of us, Rachel found herself in the position of being overqualified for the jobs she could get, and under-qualified for the ones that would pay her enough for her and her family to live. If you really want change in your life then when the ‘push’ moment comes along, you need to be ready and brave enough to take action. Rachel can now appreciate that it was every single little step that she took that has brought her where she is today. It was the steps she took and the people those steps allowed her to meet that helped build momentum. We don’t need to take on a challenge all in one go, we’re not built to do that. We need to be aware of what fills our cups. Our jobs can sometimes get in the way of those things while offering very little reward for those sacrifices. Along your journey to becoming an entrepreneur, you’ll encounter so many inspiring people with stories to share, and you might find that the best stories aren’t coming from the people who shout the loudest.

Founder of Modern Warrior Magazine - Empowering the Modern Woman, Business Coach, and Transformational Keynote Speaker, Maria Rea joins Katherine on My Dead Dragon. She shares her story of slaying her dragon, being able to look herself in the mirror and only let in the love, and then finding the strength to empower women in business. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you can find one blessing in your life, it can allow you to let go of those bad times, and let the good times in. Affirmations can improve how we think about ourselves. Write little affirmation notes and stick them all around your house. Each time you see one, read it out loud to yourself. Forgiveness allows more love into yourself. If you can forgive your past mistakes and look in the mirror and tell yourself that you love yourself, then you’ll find you can let more love in. If you’re a human and you’re breathing, then at some point you will have made mistakes and not show up for yourself. That’s a fact of life so there’s no good beating yourself up about it. Maria’s advice to herself would be that you are enough. You can create whatever you want in this life, it’s all yours, you just have to believe that you are enough. We all have stories, and our stories sell themselves. People want to listen to inspiring stories. BEST MOMENTS ‘I learned to be strong because of her’ ‘Who knew there was codependency treatment?!

We’re all curious about who our authentic self is and want to know how we go about showing up as that person now. How do we build the energy and evidence to finally claim ourselves as the person we want to be, and become certain of it? This week on My Dead Dragon, Katherine discusses how you can become the one. Dare to dream, and dare to believe in yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS What would you authentically love for your life? Don’t think about what other people think, or what you’ve done up until this point, or what your bank account says. Don’t let those things or experiences define how you show up for yourself and those around you. We all have an imagination, and a lot of us use it to terrorise ourselves by overthinking negative thoughts. We can use our imagination to experiment with our vision so we can see what life could be for us. Making the decision is not like flipping a switch once and it’s on forever. We need to make that decision each day when we wake up. The transformation we make is a compound of all the tiny micro decisions we make day to day until we wake up and feel like yes I am now her. I’m the person I thought I could be. You either are the vibrational match of the man or woman living that life you want to lead, or you are not. You have everything required within you to become the one. BEST MOMENTS ‘Everything starts with the vision’ ‘We hold the question and we work with the question’ ‘How do we become her now?’ ‘We are building energy and evidence’ ‘You are done waiting for life to give you permission to shine your light’ EPISODE RESOURCES Newsletter Sign Up Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/subscribeFree Downloadable Vision Mediation Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/FreeMeditation ABOUT THE HOST Transformational Life Coach and founder of Katalyst Coaching, Katherine Loranger asserts to the bold and determined that life is theirs for the taking.

1,000s of people from around the world have sought Dr. Lisa Brewer's guidance through the decades as an expert in the Metaphysical and Spiritual world, and a certified Reiki Master Teacher. Lisa joins Katherine on My Dead Dragon to tell her story for the first time ever, it’s the story of finding out Prince charming wasn’t so charming at all, and having a spiritual eviction. KEY TAKEAWAYS It took Lisa until she was 48 to realize that, although she was successful, she would always self sabotage and not take that next step. Lisa felt like she was faking it and not being true to herself. Lisa wanted to have the life she thought she wanted more than her own happiness and integrity. She thought she wanted Prince Charming so much that she let him make her feel like she was in the wrong and was worth less then. It took a good friend to tell her that nobody was coming for her. Nobody is coming so stand up and get on your own white horse. Ride off into your own adventure and don’t take a second to think about what anyone else says. When we really check in with ourselves we can see where things are at in our lives, that we might not be happy or fulfilled. Tuning out all the other noise can lead to a spiritual eviction, and that leads to trying something different. What do we do when we find the old things that revive ourselves aren’t working anymore? As we go through our journey we become available to more feelings of love and joy and abundance. You are more than enough and don’t need anyone else to complete you or validate you. Love yourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘I had this facade, a tough exterior. I didn’t have time to be soft or weak’ ‘Yes I was successful to a degree, but I was self sabotaging and faking it’ ‘Don’t look in their phones unless you intend on getting the answer’ ‘We don’t attract what we want, we attract what we are’ EPISODE RESOURCES Newsletter Sign Up Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/subscribe Free Downloadable Vision Mediation Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/FreeMeditation https://www.heartofinspiration.net https://www.facebook.com/HeartOfInsp https://www.instagram.com/heartofinsp/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi0hmbqY1roa0Zc8wAJOXzA ABOUT THE GUEST As an expert in the Metaphysical and Spiritual world, and a certified Reiki Master Teacher, 1,000s of people from around the world have sought Dr. Lisa Brewer's guidance through the decades.

#1 Bestselling Author, Award-winning and Producer Screenwriter Tammy Gross has been helping screenwriters for 12 years, and began coaching entrepreneurs in 2020 to use their transformation story to WOW audiences and WOW Hollywood. Tammy joins Katherine on My Dead Dragon to tell her own WOW story full of grit. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tammy’s version of GRIT stands for Gumption, Resilience, Indefatigable, and Tenacity. Tammy learned in 2021 that she doesn’t need to make things perfect, just making sure they are done can often be enough. We all want things to be perfect but that puts such a toll on us emotionally. You have to let go of perfection or else you’ll never be done. When Google changed their SEO algorithm, Tammy’s business started to fail and it took her six months to figure it out. Now she doesn’t rely on herself to do all of those things, she has allowed herself to outsource and work in a more collaborative way. After having major health issues, Tammy is planning to pay back every single penny to every charity who ever helped her, and beyond. She has big aspirations in regards to giving back. When you say yes to life and actually do the thing, it can allow you to be and opens you up to new opportunities that you would never have had if you didn’t take action. BEST MOMENTS ‘Done is better than perfect’ ‘I’m empowering them as they’re empowering me’ ‘Don’t isolate’ ‘If you’re not open to receiving a compliment, what else are you blocking from coming to you’ EPISODE RESOURCES Newsletter Sign Up Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/subscribeFree Downloadable Vision Mediation Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/FreeMeditationTammy on LinkedInScriptpreneur.comTammy@scriptpreneur.com ABOUT THE GUEST #1 Bestselling Author, Award-winning & Producer Screenwriter Tammy Gross has been helping screenwriters for 12 years, & began coaching entrepreneurs in 2020 to use their transformation story to WOW audiences & WOW Hollywood.

Amie’s childhood stories consist of abandonment and abuse, which was a contributing factor of having suicidal thoughts almost daily. This week on My Dead Dragon, Amie joins Katherine to talk about her journey from choosing to use alcohol as a means of coping with her unhealthy emotions, to learning to love herself and share her gifts with the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS Through her behaviours, Amie knew that she didn’t love herself, and if she didn’t love herself how could she love her son. She was wanting love from all the people who let her down and didn’t keep her safe. Amie learned that she had to love herself and use her voice. When we look into our eyes we are talking to our spirit. Amie used a little mirror where she could only see her eyes and learned to say that she loved herself. The mirrors Amie used got bigger over the months until she could look at all of herself and love it. Affirmations reprogram our subconscious minds over time. When we start affirming ourselves in a safe way it makes it easier to begin the process. If Amie had used the big mirror straight away, she would have picked herself apart. Mindset is so important and affects our emotions. You need to change the way you talk to yourself with affirmations. Develop your own affirming mantra that you can tell yourself throughout the day and that can start to reprogram your brain.

She has a background of over 20 years of office managerial and administration work. Her childhood stories consist of abandonment, mental and emotional abuse and then molestation, which was a contributing factor of having suicidal thoughts almost daily. She chose to use alcohol as a means of coping with her unhealthy emotions and a way to be able to relax and have fun. With the information she gained from taking the certification courses, reading, and listening to a multitude of spiritual teachers and influencers, she learned to change her perspective about her life experiences and released her addiction. While working full time in the corporate world, Amie dabbled in coaching for 15 years with her Reiki clients and in the classes and workshops that she facilitated. She decided that her desire and lifelong mission is to help guide others in feeling empowered as they navigate their emotional healing journey with the intention of being confident in living a spiritual-based life with a powerful sense of self-love.

Worm Advocate, yes you read that right, Worm Advocate, Cathy Nesbitt joins Katherine this week on My Dead Dragon to tell her story of breaking out of the people pleasing life she had found herself in, and heading out and exploring the world. Cathy also tells us about her life in business as an environmental innovator with Cathy’s Crawly Composters, an indoor composting company with a goal of saving the planet. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cathy found herself working lots of different jobs that she didn’t enjoy. She found herself looking for excuses to leave work early and wanted to find something new. Cathy even took night classes just to go out and meet new people. One day Cathy was crying at her desk, her boss called her into the office to talk about why she was upset. As a classic people pleaser she told him that she was unhappy and expected the worst. However the next day she came in and there was a copy of Your Erroneous Zones by Wayne Dyers, which changed her life. Traveling allowed Cathy to connect with that part of herself that is life giving. Talking to an au pair while abroad Cathy decided she wanted to learn a new language and live abroad. We spend too much time at work. We see our work families more than our own. Cathy decided that she would live her life and not live it for other people. Life is so remarkable when you’re connected and able to honor what you came here to do with your gifts and talents. Be the leading role in your own life, you’re not a supporting character. What is it that you want to do? It’s there waiting for you, you just need to ask for it and take action.

Denise Belisle is a serenity expert and positive intelligence specialist. Her 40 years of meditation practice and her innate nature to look for the gift in everything around her, allows her to guide her clients to new levels that were inaccessible for them before. Denise joins Katherine this week on My Dead Dragon to share her story and expertise with you, as well as tell you about the saboteurs living in us all. KEY TAKEAWAYS It takes time to build yourself up to believing that you deserve love. It’s a process that doesn't just happen overnight for most people. Emotional intelligence is about tuning into yourself. This can feel overwhelming if you’ve been hiding emotions and stuffing them deep down within yourself. It can feel like a volcano is erupting. Positive intelligence is the master of emotional intelligence. This is what allows us to identify those voices in our minds. Once you’ve recognized them you need to give them a name, saboteurs. And once you know these saboteurs, you need to learn to control them. Denise tells herself every day “it’s all good”, it’s her favorite phrase. By affirming this she is feeding positivity and not feeding negativity.

Mardi Winder-Adams is a Divorce Transition Coach with a focus on helping women achieve their personal and professional goals at a challenging time in life. She joins Katherine on this week's My Dead Dragon to tell her story and share advice on how having someone in your corner can stop a woman from losing her confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mardi was lucky enough to have friends who saw the negative change in her when she was unhappy in her marriage. When they spoke to her about it she realized that these things she thought were only internal, were showing on the outside too. There is a ripple effect when you’re dealing with a challenge in your life, it moves out in little waves into other parts of your life. Knowing that people had her back made Mardi more able to deal with issues, it was like she had someone to hold her confidence for her when she forgot it for herself. Find something that grounds you and brings you joy on a daily basis. Something that grounds you and makes you mindful of yourself and your surroundings. It’s okay to have bad habits. Admit it to yourself and deal with them when they start to come up. Where do you want to go? What are the milestones along the way? And how are you going to get there?

What do you do when you’re in the most pain you’ve ever felt in your life, but that still isn’t as bad as the emotional pain within. This week on My Dead Dragon, Katherine is joined by Crystal Steers, founder of Chasing Happiness, she is here to share her story of healing what is broken. Find out how you can make the choice for your life to change and open up to new possibilities. Remember, everything that happens to you is for the best possible reason. KEY TAKEAWAYS Crystal read ‘Zen and the Art of Happiness’ and that got her trying to wrap her head around the fact that everything that has happened to her has happened for a reason. Within a week of changing her outlook and mindset, Crystal was presented with an opportunity to travel and she took it. She took the initiative and stepped into the unknown. Nobody is here to save you or tell you what to do, you have to believe and do it for yourself and opportunities will open up. The world and the universe is always telling us things, but if we don’t know how to filter out the noise and actually listen, how will we see the opportunities? We need to be taught to listen to the universe. Sometimes you just know that you need to challenge yourself. Make sure you pick up all the tools you’ll need along the way. BEST MOMENTS ‘It wasn’t the procedure that was painful, it was the realization that I would still be in the exact same place’ ‘Everything that happens to you is for the best possible reason’ ‘You can make whatever decision you want today, and that’s the thing that will define where you are tomorrow’ EPISODE RESOURCES Newsletter Sign Up Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/subscribeFree Downloadable Vision Mediation Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/FreeMeditationwww.chasinghappiness.cahttps://www.facebook.com/chasinghappinessdotcahttps://www.instagram.com/chasinghappiness.ca/ ABOUT THE GUEST Crystal Steers After getting her degree in Psychology, Crystal woke up one morning and realized that the life she was living wasn't making her happy. She had no idea how to change things or what it would look like. She had no idea how to start over. So when an opportunity to move across the country to a place she had never been came up, she took it. She sold most of everything she owned and started over. That change not only transformed her life but helped her to start her business Chasing Happiness, which aims to help others create a life of meaning and joy for themselves. Through Coaching, A Podcast, A Bookclub and speaking events Crystal aims to help people make deep and meaningful changes that lead to a happier and less stressful life, no matter what circumstances they find themselves in.

Money is a hard thing to talk about, especially for women who have grown up with the Cinderella complex where some prince comes along and sweeps you off your feet. This week’s guest on My Dead Dragon, Debra Jacobs knows that better than anyone and decided not to wait for her prince charming. Hear all about Debra’s story, and how she wants to help people overcome shame, fear, and overwhelm around money and take action to master their personal finances. KEY TAKEAWAYS Once you shift your thinking from “I can’t do this” to “what can I do to make this possible” you will see the opportunities open up as you open yourself to positivity. Once we decide the universe rushes to our aid. It took a long time until Debra realized that she didn’t have to sit around waiting for her Prince Charming. She asked herself what is the most important thing to her, and that wasn’t a husband, it was children. Once she acknowledged that fact and decided to go for what she wanted, she was able to actively make choices to pursue her dreams. Taking care of yourself can be tough but it can also be exhilarating. You make the choice to be scared by it, or to take on the challenge. When Debra adopted her first child, she made a budget down to the penny of how much everything would cost. She became conscious of where she was spending her money, for example buying books instead of borrowing them from the library. Researching ‘financial independence retire early’, known as FIRE is the way Debra got into transforming her own financial life. The more she knew and the more steps she took, the more it dawned on her that she could teach people these skills, especially single moms. Instead of paying your bills and then spending money on whatever you need to and then setting the rest aside as savings, you should put your savings first. Put aside a percentage of the money that comes in, then pay what you need to pay, you’ll actually save more money for the future. BEST MOMENTS ‘I like to say that the universe opened up and made all things possible’ ‘We have to serve our decisions with actions’ ‘I love having these role models out there for young women. You’re not a side character’ ‘Cut out the things that don’t add value to your life’ EPISODE RESOURCES Newsletter Sign Up Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/subscribeFree Downloadable Vision Mediation Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/FreeMeditationhttps://moneysmartforlife.comhttps://www.facebook.com/moneysmartforlifehttps://www.instagram.com/moneysmartforlife_/ ABOUT THE GUEST Debra Jacobs is a financial coach who helps people overcome shame, fear, and overwhelm around money and take action to master their personal finances.

Dr Dawn Menge wrote a book called ‘Dragon’s Breath’ about her experience of having someone harass her and stalk her to the point where Dawn had to sell her house. We all have moments in life where we come up against a wall and feel like there’s no immediate way forward. Having support from other people can help you have that faith in yourself to get past that block or fear of rejection. Very few people have an easy road and it’s so important having those people around you to say ‘yes you can’. There is no such thing as overnight success. We don’t see the twenty years of work that someone has put in to achieve that goal you’re envious of.

Cindy is the curator of WomenOnlyWeekend (WOW) and the author of Reflections from the Dating Pool, she challenged herself to date 50 men in 52 weeks while balancing her career and motherhood. Cindy Joins Katherine to tell her amazing story of going from shock and heartbreak to bringing people together this week on My Dead Dragon. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cindy was awoken one morning with police kicking down her door and arresting her partner of seven years. She had to deal with the shock and heartbreak while taking her children out of a bad environment. This was the moment Cindy started re-writing her own story. Every decision Cindy made was always passed through the filter of “what are my children seeing”. She always thought about how her choices would affect them and how she would always be doing the best for them. Even while going through her own battles, Cindy organized the first WOW (women only weekend) as a retreat for women to attend and support one another. Cindy’s advice is that you should be willing to pivot and not be attached to a certain outcome. Cindy started thinking about goals and what she wanted. She wanted to fall in love again but had trust issues. How could you trust herself to find the right person after being lied to for so long? That’s where the idea for the book Reflections from the Dating Pool and dating 50 men in 52 weeks came about. Over time doing this challenge, Cindy realized that she could start to trust herself again. She also realized that there is no rush, there is time to feel open and experience the feeling of space. It was never about the guys, it wasn’t about dating them, it was more about dating herself, finding out more about who Cindy really is. BEST MOMENTS ‘All I could think about was getting in that bed and pulling the covers over my head and shutting out the world’ ‘Some people weren’t planning on coming but found themselves in the wrong room and it was exactly what they needed’ ‘The universe is the ultimate algorithm’ ‘Be interested, not interesting’ EPISODE RESOURCES Newsletter Sign Up Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/subscribe Free Downloadable Vision Mediation Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/FreeMeditation https://www.instagram.com/cindydrummondyyc/ https://www.cindydrummond.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/womenonlyweekend Find Cindy’s book – “Reflections From the Dating Pool” here: https://www.cindydrummond.ca/books Registration will open in January for WOW 2022 running from October 21-22, 2022 ABOUT THE GUEST Cindy is the curator of Womenonlyweekend (WOW) and the author of Reflections from the Dating Pool.

It’s three years in the future, it’s all worked out and you’re living a life you love. You are showing up consistently as the person in your vision. What would you love for that life if you were guaranteed to succeed? In My Dead Dragon this week, Katherine will be exploring four quadrants for living the life you want to lead and why you can’t just wait around for a magical change in your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first quadrant is your health and wellbeing, both spiritual and physical. The second is your love and relationships. It can be ones you currently have or ones you’re looking to improve. Next is your vocation, if money was no object, how would you bring your gifts and talents to the world. Finally look at your time and money freedom, what would you be doing with your days. Do you travel? How much do you work? What does your bank account look like? We all have mental faculties that are our birthright and so many of us don’t actually know how to use them in service of ourselves. We use our imagination to keep us afraid or worried or stressed or anxious. But we can use our imagination to visualize what you want to create for yourself. People get hung up with manifestation. We need to take action to serve the vision. If you’re not doing anything about it then the universe cannot co-create with us. Until we make the decision to change, nothing will change. You are the only person who knows where you want to make improvements in your life. You just need to make the active decision. You will be stepping out of your comfort zone, which can feel scary, but that fear is just trying to bring us back to the familiar. BEST MOMENTS ‘It starts with a vision, then it’s the decision’ ‘You are deciding for yourself’ ‘What decision am I needing to make’ EPISODE RESOURCES Newsletter Sign Up Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/subscribe Free Downloadable Vision Mediation Link https://katalystcoaching.kartra.com/page/FreeMeditation ABOUT THE HOST Transformational Life Coach and founder of Katalyst Coaching, Katherine Loranger asserts to the bold and determined that life is theirs for the taking.

Are you ready to take a journey to your Joyfully Ever After? Heidi Esther guides fellow soul-searchers to greater Joy and Authenticity with relatable true stories, playful printables, empowering conversations and mindfulness tools. She joins Katherine on My Dead Dragon this week, or should it be My Dead Jabberwocky, to share her story of going down the rabbit hole. KEY TAKEAWAYS Heidi was a self-professed people pleaser and spent so much time managing other people’s feelings at the detriment of her own. It took 30 years for her feelings to come out and she didn’t know how to categorize them and fit back into her old life. You don’t wake up one morning and have a hearty breakfast and head out with your sword and your armor to slay your dragon. Personal development is a long road with large and small steps. Having people around you who validate you and tell you that the feelings you have are normal is so important when you’re on your journey to finding happiness. Finding unconditional acceptance is a great source of support, we're not meant to just be here alone. Heidi would tell her past self-two things. Firstly, that it’s going to be okay. Secondly, she would tell herself that the guilt around self-care and thinking that her taking time for herself was bad for her children was not a healthy way to think. As we’re taking actions on this journey, we can feel guilty, we can feel afraid. Just remember that it’s all part for the process. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’d pause and ask myself, am I happy? Is this it?’ ‘I call it eating my feelings parfait’ ‘I’m an everyday superhero, I can save my day everyday’ ‘Every single step had guilt’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://HeidiEsther.com http://facebook.com/HeidiEstherAuthor https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtGitq4hSE2fq3IQXZyKSPw ABOUT THE GUEST Heidi Esther is a storyteller, writer, poet, big-feeler, midwestern momma, and spoiler of all dogs, especially her chestnut-eyed Olive.

For the first time in her life, Stacey feels able to put herself first. This week on My Dead Dragon Katherine will find out what steps Stacey took to get to this point and how she stopped living for everybody else. Join the discussion about what happens when you ask yourself “what would I love?” KEY TAKEAWAYS Stacey realized she was unhappy in her job and has decided to mentor women who are coming out of corporate jobs. Be clear in your vision of what you want for your life. As yourself “what would I love?” People have a fear that putting themself first means dropping everyone and everything else. But it’s not, it’s filling your own cup first. If Stacey could go back and give her young mum self some advice, she would say believe in yourself and believe that you are worthy and loved. You deserve to live the life you love and to go after it. A partner in believing isn’t necessarily a romantic partner. It's someone who really believes in you. BEST MOMENTS ‘You don’t know until you know what’s possible’ ‘It’s about trusting the process and trusting that this is right’ ‘Be careful what you wish for’ ‘I’m doing the work, but I didn’t even know this thing was possible’ ABOUT THE HOST Transformational Life Coach and founder of Katalyst Coaching, Katherine Loranger asserts to the bold and determined that life is theirs for the taking.

This week on My Dead Dragon, Katherine is in conversation with Tamara Dabels, Executive Director, Fort Saskatchewan and District Chamber of Commerce. Listen in to find out how you can move forward without it feeling overwhelming. Take the next step you can take, that’s all you need to worry about. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tamara suffered from a big lack of confidence, letting the voice in her head tell her she wasn’t good enough. When looking for work it would tell her that nobody would want to hire her. Imagine someone said these things to your child. You wouldn’t let them, so why should you let you talk to yourself that way. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you can do this. Do it every day until eventually you believe it. Allow the positive voice to be louder, to drown out the negative voice. If you don’t have a close circle of people you can talk to about this, then podcasts and YouTube can be a good friend to you. It’s important to get that positive affirmation. You don’t need to reach the goal right away. You only need to take the next step that’s in front of you. When you need to rest, you can rest, then take that next step. Each step you take gets you closer to your goal, even if it’s a small one. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was a hot mess until I was in my thirties’ ‘Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable isn’t easy’ ‘The hills I'll die on are the causes I believe in’ ABOUT THE GUEST Tamara has been the Executive Director for the Chamber since 2017. She is proud to work on behalf of the District's exceptional businesses community who inspire Tamara every day. She earned her Bachelor of Commerce Degree with a major in Finance and minor in Marketing from the University of Alberta. Inspired by the unique stories and passions of those around her, Tamara's favourite part of life is connecting with people and learning about what drives them. A connector, and a person of service, Tamara's joy for what she does is evident in all that she does. While she loves helping businesses grow, she also enjoys road trips with her husband Trevor and spending time with their two kids, Logan and Samantha.

Danielle is a no-nonsense business and success coach who joins Katherine on My Dead Dragon to talk us through her journey of becoming the heroine in her own story and how her faith and spirituality played a huge part in finally being able to express herself fully. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reject those limiting, painful, hurtful thoughts. Danielle did and she saw her life change for the better, rising and building a beautiful life. Think about what actions bring what result. Then work backwards again to what was I thinking to bring that action. Then you can assess whether it serves you and moves you forward, and if it doesn’t then it doesn’t have a place in your life. Once you've taken a plant out of a little pot and let it grow in a bigger one, you can’t fit it back into the little pot. Personal development is thought development and spiritual development. When things go sideways, ask yourself what does joy look like in this moment, what does wisdom look like in this moment, what does leadership look like in this moment. BEST MOMENTS ‘I will burn in hell if that’s what it takes, but I can’t do this anymore’ ‘Yes! This is my thing and I can really relax into it and experience it’ ‘I was trying so hard and just felt like I was just not good enough’ ABOUT THE GUEST Danielle is a seasoned international business success coach, trainer and strategist.

Dr Sheryl Rist has been a practicing acupuncturist for over 20 years. Her journey with acupuncture started when she was suffering with an “incurable” disease and was introduced to an acupuncturist and her life changed dramatically. Join Katherine this week on My Dead Dragon to hear Sheryl’s incredible story of turning pain into healing. KEY TAKEAWAYS When she was a teenager Sheryl became sick with an illness that the doctors couldn’t identify. She was told she would have to have surgery and have a bag fitted and not be allowed to eat, just having pills. When she was in her 20’s she was recommended an acupuncturist and was so surprised that she finally had energy and started to feel better. Sheryl believed that the treatments offered weren't for her, she also refused the prognosis that she would die. It was hard to be a normal teenager and she fell into depression, but she always had the self-belief that she would get better and that there was a solution. She put trust in herself to keep going and try to find something that would make her feel better, like herself again. She refused to stay in bed and without the determination she would have never tired acupuncture. Her story allowed her to see that if she could overcome these obstacles, then she could help other people do the same. Keep going. Know that there is something good coming. Some days it’s okay to curl up in bed and give yourself lots of love, but the next day get up and keep going. We store all of our trauma in our bodies. They retain all of the memories when we go through hard times and it’s about clearing them out and releasing it out of our bodies. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was lying beside an 80-year-old lady with a bag.’ ‘I don’t know what you've done, and I don’t understand how it works, but I want to help people that way.’ ‘If there’s a problem you figure out the solution.’ ‘The body is our vehicle’ ABOUT THE GUEST Sheryl Rist has been a practicing acupuncturist for over 2 decades. Her journey with acupuncture started during her 20’s when she was suffering with an “incurable” disease. Sheryl was introduced to an acupuncturist and her life changed dramatically. After travelling for a few years Dr Sheryl entered the acupuncture program at MacEwan University. At present she practices over 5 different styles of acupuncture and loves the continual education involved in the acupuncture profession. Sheryl is Trauma Certified, has her Doctor of Natural Medicine, offered a reduced anxiety clinic for teenagers and frontline workers, and is known for her one needle techniques. Dr Sheryl happily helps with pregnancy issues, delivery, fertility, MVA, TMJ, chronic back problems, chronic diseases, anxiety, depression, muscle issues, and general practice. She is trained extensively in needling, cupping, gua sha, laser acupuncture, and non-invasive acupuncture. Dr Sheryl loves what she does and it shows.

When the whispers get louder and louder telling you that something about your life isn’t right, what do you do? In this week’s episode of My Dead Dragon Katherine is joined by Empowerment and Transformational Coach, Nimisha Mehta, who shares her experiences and tells us how she listened to those whispers and began to unlock her limitless inner power. KEY TAKEAWAYS The way you’re feeling inside can manifest on the outside. Nimisha had medical troubles at the time she felt at her worst and because she kept track of her feelings, she knew the two were connected. Good people want to give to others, we want to fill their cup. It begins with you, you can’t fill someone else's cup if it’s going to empty yours. What you should do instead is overflow your cup and fill others from the saucer below. Look that dragon in the eye and say ‘do you know who I am. Do you know how much power I have inside of me’. Nimisha looked within herself and allowed the voice inside her to come out and tell her what her worth to the world actually is. That voice that she was squashing was the thing that tells her she has strength, power, and worth. Every time you get a thought that is not empowering, you should deal with it. Look that feeling in the face and address why it is there and why it has come up at that point. BEST MOMENTS ‘That’s when I found that courage to say this has to change’ ‘When we ignore the whispers, it turns up the volume’ ‘Failure is not falling down, it’s staying down’ ABOUT THE GUEST As an Empowerment and Transformational Coach, Nimisha is dedicated to supporting her clients through their journeys of being aware of, and unlocking their limitless inner power! She helps her clients transform their lives by changing their old mindset and programming to help clear blocks related to self-belief, love, business, and money. Nimisha uses coaching tools as well as, an innate sense of intuition to help her clients work through any conditioning, limiting beliefs or paradigms that may be hindering their path to a life of fulfillment they would like to manifest.

How do you gain the power to change the narrative in your own story? How can you wake up and realize you’re the heroine that you’ve been looking for? Principal Social Worker at Mastery of Self Inc. Canada, Tanasha Smith joins Katherine as this week’s guest on My Dead Dragon to answer those questions and more. Join the discussion on breaking free of generational cycles, accepting trauma, and rebuilding a new you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tanasha found the best way to understand her feelings was to journal. Writing it down allowed her to see the way she thought about herself. It’s easy to go to a place of shame, guilt, and responsibility after trauma, but you need to discover that it’s not your fault and the things that happened to you weren't the result of your actions. Tanasha’s Grandfather told her that the more she shared her story the more she would see that it was not her fault. When we’re not willing to feel, then we’re not willing to heal. Moving forward is a conscious choice we make every day. A young person thinks it’s less damaging to blame themselves for things rather than accept that someone who is supposed to look out for us is to blame. BEST MOMENTS ‘I didn’t do it to myself, but I blamed myself’ ‘Self-work doesn’t come to an end, there are just different seasons’ ‘When I defeated that dragon, I was speaking life into myself’ ‘Our pain becomes our purpose’ ABOUT THE GUEST Tanasha Smith is the Principal Social Worker at Mastery of Self Inc. Canada. She provides counselling services to individuals, couples, families, youth, and seniors. Her greatest passion is to bring healing to people who have been through traumatic/ stressful experiences. The goal for her clients is to help guide them into a healthy perception of themselves and strengthen their relationships with themselves as peaceful, gifted, wholesome beings. Tanasha emphasizes the importance of self-care and consistency the transformation begins when the work on the self is applied daily. She believes that letting go of the past takes time to unpack just as there isn’t a one-way approach that fits for everyone. With over 15 years of experience supporting youth and young adults, her goal is to guide her clients to believe that self-worth is the power to strive to be their best selves. Tanasha who is the author of ‘Once broken’ wrote the book to encourage her clients to believe that they have the power to change their narrative. www.once-broken.com www.masteryofselfinc.ca https://m.facebook.com/selfirst1/ https://www.instagram.com/mastery_ofself https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanasha-smith-7070b455 ABOUT THE HOST Transformational Life Coach and founder of Katalyst Coaching, Katherine Loranger asserts to the bold and determined that life is theirs for the taking.

When do we need to take a step back and say no? How do we know when it’s the right time to set boundaries? Claire Nettley, founder of Better Boundaries joins Katherine as this week’s guest on My Dead Dragon to answer those questions and more. Hear all about Caire’s life and how yoga was one of the first steps to slowing her life down, allowing her to breathe. KEY TAKEAWAYS Before taking a step back, Claire was over functioning in a lot of areas in her life. She was working flat out at work and still feeling like she was being left behind. In relationships she found she was the one putting in all the energy. All of this was leading to exhaustion and fatigue. When Caire found yoga, she was frustrated with how long it would take, the slow breaths in and out. But it was the act of slowing things down that allowed her to be present with herself. Boundaries are about giving ourselves permission to be who we are and pursue the things we want to in the way we want to. By not being present and connected to yourself, it’s hard to be present and connected with others. Any environment that requires us to abandon our humanity for the purpose of achievement and success will eventually cause burnout. There is a lot of social praise towards people who are working too hard and it takes a lot of bravery to reject that idea and focus on what is actually good for you. A true connected relationship is where both people can have a dialogue and are committed to showing up in the relationship even when it’s uncomfortable. Healthy relationships don’t require us to abandon ourselves. BEST MOMENTS ‘People labelled me Superwoman, but on the inside, I was so disconnected’ ‘I had to recalibrate the way that I operated’ ‘A lot of people wear a mask that makes it look like they have it all together’ ABOUT THE GUEST Claire is a Coach, Teacher, Speaker and the founder of Better Boundaries. She's known for helping her clients to find their 'no', set boundaries and build a strong sense of who they are, so that they can show up in their lives and relationships without losing themselves. https://www.facebook.com/ClaireNettleyCoach https://www.instagram.com/claire_nettley/ https://www.clairenettley.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Transformational Life Coach and founder of Katalyst Coaching, Katherine Loranger asserts to the bold and determined that life is theirs for the taking.

How can spirituality give you self-empowerment? How do we deal with imposter syndrome and the demons in our lives? These are just some of the questions posed and answered by Dr Sue Carter Collins as she joins Katherine as this week’s guest on My Dead Dragon. Hear Dr Sue’s incredible life story of a convict father, joining one of the first integrated schools in America, alcoholism, and finally finding spiritual empowerment and sharing that empowerment with others. KEY TAKEAWAYS Dr Sue was one of just eighteen black students in her entire High School. She went from one of the top students in her old all black school to feeling like she was behind and didn’t have the opportunities compared to all the white students. It was the luck of getting in trouble that she spoke to her school’s guidance counsellor and was presented with an opportunity to go to university. After the loss of her mother, Dr Sue was in a low period and says that she wouldn't still be here today if it wasn’t for her son. If you can connect with the “I am” that’s within you then you can connect to the “I am” that’s within anybody else. Until we take our last breath we will always be evolving and becoming more and more. With every new thought, you are evolving. Dr Se grew up believing in failure, and that she was a failure. By thinking this you set yourself up for pain. You haven’t failed, you’re just still learning. Your smile is energy, the person you’re smiling at could have not had a smile from someone in a while. We all have the ability to raise other people. BEST MOMENTS ‘I cared more about what other people thought of me than what I thought of myself’ ‘You have to love yourself first’ ‘I drowned my loneliness in alcohol’ ‘It is my purpose to heal through the spoken word’ EPISODE RESOURCES www.synergistichealingcenter.com https://www.facebook.com/drsuecartercollins https://www.instagram.com/drsuecartercollins/ ABOUT THE GUEST Dr Sue Carter Collins is an author, speaker, and Greatness Life Coach. She speaks on a variety of topics related to self-empowerment, spirituality, spiritual resilience, and the Imposter Syndrome. She is an ordained metaphysical minister, an intuitive channel, and a Master Synergistic Energy Healer. She is certified in multiple healing modalities including Reiki, Pranic, and Mindfulness Meditation. Dr Sue is the author of Return to Self: 5 Steps to Emotional and Spiritual Freedom and the owner of the Synergistic Healing Center of Atlanta, where the mission is “Empowering Women and Transforming Lives One Spirit at a Time.” Dr Sue’s story is this. She is the daughter of a convicted felon—her father--and of an uneducated maid—her mother, both of whom are now deceased. She was born into a family of 10 children who were thought least likely to succeed because of their socio-economic circumstances. She was on the cutting edge of the Civil...

Numerologist, Business Success and Freedom Coach, Daphne Wells joins Katherine as this week’s guest on My Dead Dragon. Join the conversation about why life isn’t about checking boxes on achievements, and why it’s more important to figure out who you are. Hear about how you can find yourself again after feeling lost. KEY TAKEAWAYS It takes a lot of courage and tenacity to leave a partner who isn’t good for you. Supporters who you can trust and love you can help you move past any shame you might feel. It’s courageous to feel vulnerable. When we don’t have boundaries, we build walls. Everyone’s journey is a different length. The process for some people to becoming the main character of their own story can take years and years to build up. For other people they can step out of a shadow and feel the difference. Rember that we’re all human and we’re all individual. Keep knocking on doors until you get the help you need. Don’t be scared, overcome the shame. Don’t compare someone’s best day to your worst day. Use grace and compassion to navigate through it. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was very lost and had to find myself again’ ‘No one is coming to save me. I need to do it myself’ EPISODE RESOURCES www.facebook.com/daphnebwells www.instagram.com/daphnebwells www.linkedin.com/in/daphnewells https://www.youtube.com/DaphneWells www.daphnewells.com What's stopping your success?

So far, you’ve heard the stories of guests, but this week Katherine tells us the story of her dead dragon on the podcast. Hear about why Katherine started the podcast and why supporting, inspiring, and letting others know that they’re not alone, is so important to her. Find out how she goes about this in her daily life, and how it can help you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The current situation isn’t working. There can be feelings of longing or discontent, often when you see something you haven't experienced before. Maybe you see someone has just been on vacation, see someone in a happy relationship, see someone in better shape. Recognizing this is the first step to turning up the volume on life. What would you love? When was the last time you gave yourself permission to visualize what you want. It takes time to learn how to hear the voice that tells you to do what you truly want. Journaling and free writing can be helpful to get you going and the more you do that the more you tap into your inner wants. We minimize our past traumas and this causes stress and a sense of anxiety where we’re in a ramped-up state of being. We need to learn how our nervous system has an effect on how we are day to day. The first step of moving away from that constricted feeling is to notice it. Once you’ve noticed it, pause with self-compassion. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. BEST MOMENTS ‘Meditation is a practice. You practice it’ ‘Shift from fight or flight or freeze into rest, digest, create’ ABOUT THE HOST Transformational Life Coach and founder of Katalyst Coaching, Katherine Loranger asserts to the bold and determined that life is theirs for the taking.

Empowerment & Spiritual Love Coach, Laurie Herbers joins Katherine as this week’s guest on My Dead Dragon. Hear about how Laurie has healed from past trauma through faith and making different choices in the way she thought about herself. Listen in and join the discussion on the difference between ‘headspace’ and ‘heartspace’. KEY TAKEAWAYS You feel like you lose pieces of yourself in moments of hardship and abuse. But you can get them all back. We don’t have a choice about the bad things that have happened in the past. But we do have a choice about how we deal with them and how we react. Whatever belief system we have, we look for more evidence of it. If we have low self-esteem, we will ignore the positive qualities we have and find new things to dislike. You are not lost, you are exactly who and where you need to be in this moment. You’re in a position to make a choice, and make a change in the way you think about yourself. We have to fill ourselves up with abundance before we can fill others up. You are a vessel and when you nurture yourself, you will be overflowing with love and positivity that can lift other people. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m outside in this storm yelling at the sky’ ‘Every choice we make causes a ripple’ ‘You can be gentle with yourself and have compassion and love for yourself. It’s part of the process’ ‘Don't hide your magic’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.facebook.com/LaurieHerbers1 https://www.instagram.com/soullovelegacy/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0CITzs3POQHLYOENw3ymcA https://www.soullovelegacy.com/ Becoming Abundance: Embracing and Enhancing Your Unique Design ABOUT THE GUEST Laurie Herbers is an Empowerment & Spiritual Love Coach, and Author.

In this episode of My Dead Dragon, Katherine is joined by guest Amanda Acker. Hear Amanda’s powerful story about homelessness and drug abuse, to then breaking through and has been able to let the good things into her life. She is striving to become an inspiration and let people know that they are stronger than they think. Trigger warning regarding the mention of suicide. KEY TAKEAWAYS In the moments Amanda made the wrong choices, she was thinking about the wants and needs of others. Will this person stop talking to me? Will something bad happen if I don’t do this? She was surrounded by people who didn’t have her best interests in mind. It took hitting her lowest point before Amanda ever asked what she wanted. She went to her husband and asked him to make her see herself the way he saw her. Her self-acceptance was so low she wouldn’t allow herself to love herself. It’s a constant process of affirmation and visualization that she can have the life she wants. The only difference between fear and excitement is how we breathe. With fear we shallow breathe but with excitement we deep breathe. The sensations in our brain are the same. Being able to be yourself is such a relief. The ability to accept the things about yourself that once caused anxiety is freeing. Amanda is no longer reluctant to tell her story because she accepts who she is and knows it doesn’t define her. BEST MOMENTS ‘I had other wake up calls throughout my story, but this one stuck.’ ‘Sometimes it takes that rock bottom where everything is on the line.’ ‘How can you say you value second chances when you’ve never given yourself a second chance.’ ‘The people who truly love me will be there no matter what version of me I am.’ EPISODE RESOURCES facebook.com/amanda.acker2017/ instagram.com/theletgoodthingsinshow/ Amanda@amandaacker.com Join Amanda’s Facebook group here: facebook.com/groups/theletgoodthingsinshow Find her podcast “The Let Good Things in Show” on your regular channels. ABOUT THE GUEST Coming from a past of drug abuse, homelessness, and being a convicted felon, Amanda has broken through and was able to let the good things into her life. Amanda is now on a mission to inspire and motivate people just like you. People who have had a difficult past and haven’t yet realized that they are stronger than they think and can have the life they want and deserve. Amanda wants to help you rise above the labels of society and burst through the ceilings that you have put on top of yourself. Amanda’s core message is that our past doesn't define us and that we are way stronger than we think.

In this episode, Katherine is joined by Jesse Szymanski, founder and CEO of Modern Muse Media, an all-female video production company. Find out how Jesse went from losing her mother, no car, and no phone, to starting a new chapter in her story. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jesse had the idea to start an all-female video production company to challenge the male dominated environment. She though if there wasn’t a seat at the table for women in the industry then she would just have to build her own table. That table became Modern Muse Media. The F word, failure, has a lot of negative energy attached to it. Failing isn’t falling down, it’s staying down. We all trip up but as long as we pick ourselves back up then it’s not a failure, it’s an opportunity for growth. Jesse believes we should share more of our truths. When someone tells her ‘oh you’re doing so well’, she will respond by honestly saying thank you but I’m actually having a really bad day. We don’t need to be pulled into a negative spiral, we’re not perfect, life’s not perfect, things are challenging. Being honest breaks that barrier. Look out for toxic positivity. You don’t need to force yourself to be happy when faced with something we haven't overcome yet. It’s okay to be honest with yourself and acknowledge how you really feel. BEST MOMENTS ‘I crawled up off that kitchen floor and just got to it’ ‘If there isn’t a chair, then bring your own chair to the table. Better yet, I built my own table for others’ ‘I don’t want to be chained to my business. I don’t want it to define my identity’ ‘The only person we need to compare ourselves to is us and where we have placed our own goals’ ‘How am I becoming the hero of my own journey’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://modernmusemedia.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/modernmusemedia https://www.instagram.com/modern_muse_media/ info@modernmusemedia.ca ABOUT THE GUEST With a mandate to train, mentor and empower, Modern Muse Media is Jesse's latest adventure in an ever-changing multi-media landscape.

Find out how that journey evolved and how Kelly was able to contribute in the world of work while being a mom. Join the discussion on giving power to yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Howard Thurman, advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, once said “don’t ask what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive and go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive”. In Kelly’s case this was the acknowledgement that it was okay to put herself first with allowed her to come alive in her work and her family life. Taking a little time to slow down, we can all have so many things on the go at once and feel like we don’t have the time to deal with them while we’re moving so fast. Slowing down and hitting the breaks can give you that space you need to work in. You are the limiting factor in your business. It’s all the inner turmoil over ‘am I worth it’ or ‘can I do this’. As you grow your personal belief in yourself then that allows your ideas and your business to grow. You cannot check your personal life at the door. If you’re having problems then they will follow you into your work. Allowing yourself the time to deal with these problems isn’t selfish by taking time away from work, it’s vital to the continued development of yourself, and a developed you will achieve more. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can still get where you might want to go, it just might not be the path that you thought would get you there’ ‘Inner guidance doesn’t come with a manual’ ‘What if we all chose to do our things in a way that makes us feel alive in our life’ ‘My light shines to brighten others’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.facebook.com/KSComms https://www.instagram.com/ks_comms/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyrsinclair/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC317HtxbHpk-_V0HC8Xqu3Q https://ks-communications.ca/ ABOUT THE GUEST Kelly Sinclair is the Fairy Brand-Mother, equipping passionate entrepreneurs with the magic wand to get clear on your message and who you serve so you can attract your dream clients and grow your business.

In this episode, Katherine speaks to Jessica Derksen of True To You Lifestyle and the True To You Podcast. Jessica tells us how we can level up our self-love game though small achievable steps with big measurable impacts. Discover how she went on her journey to understanding her emotions by changing her routines to promote positivity. Explore the themes of gratitude, growth, and support. KEY TAKEAWAYS Our routines and actions have a lot of control over how we feel, our mindset, and our happiness. Just as crucially, we have control over our routines and actions. Changing them in a positive direction can really improve your happiness. It doesn’t have to be the biggest changes to make a difference in your life. Moving for 30 minutes a day gave Jessica more energy and a better self-esteem. It wasn’t about losing weight, it was about improving mental health and making a change to have a more positive outlook. Self-love is a process that takes time and is built little by little. Feeling gratitude for the things you love in your life is a step in the right direction. Focus on these things and you won’t have time to have those self-loathing or negative thoughts. Pick one thing a day that’s for yourself, whether it’s taking the time to read a chapter of a book, or taking a relaxing bath. A small act can have a big hit on your self-esteem and self-worth. Having an outside voice such as a life coach can help us see positive things that we’ve trained our brains not to see. Hearing those things from someone else can help overcome the mental barriers we build for ourselves. Remember nobody has a perfect day, something in your business, your relationship, your personal life might not go right. You can’t always be your best self and it’s important to remember that when you’re down you won’t stay down. It’s okay to struggle, this is your growth opportunity. Honor your emotions and allow yourself to feel how you truly do inside. Hiding emotions will come back to bite you and feeling what you feel is part of the process. Be curious about why you’re feeling how you feel, don’t get yourself down about it. BEST MOMENTS ‘I have control over my actions and I have control over what I want in life.’ ‘How you love and respect yourself is how you’re going to show up in the world. You make decisions that align with that love or lack of love’ ‘We can go from happy to angry in a second. There’s no reason we can’t shift our mindset to go from angry to happy in a second too.’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://truetoyoulifestyle.com/ https://www.facebook.com/jessderksenhealthcoach https://www.instagram.com/jessicaderksenhealthcoach/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdKvdCV9wlCIA5Utn8ZBf9w ABOUT THE GUEST Jessica Derksen is the founder of True To You Lifestyle where she is a certified health and life coach, speaker, facilitator, mentor to women in business and host of the True To You Podcast.

In this episode, Katherine speaks to Jamie Knox an ex-servicewoman and physician assistant with two children. In response to a breakup and other traumas, she ended up struggling badly. Going from being a highly organised achiever to suffering from depression and losing her confidence and wellbeing. At which point, she became a hoarder, which had a significant impact on homelife. Jamie shares her story with Katherine, explaining how things went wrong and how she managed to get things back on track. To stop hoarding, regain her confidence and self-worth and how she is using what she has gone through to help others. KEY TAKEAWAYS Balance is important in life e.g., it is good to help others, but not to the point where you don´t look after yourself. You need to speak up for you and others. If you don´t, nothing will change. If you feel in your gut that something is not right, don´t ignore it, do something. Often, we hoard stuff as a response to trauma. If you are feeling lost and not sure about what you want out of life, start with the small questions. When you have a disagreement, there is no need for it to end up in yelling. Negativity is toxic. Try to take positives from every situation, even the bad ones. Don´t be afraid to tell others that you are struggling. BEST MOMENTS ‘I kind of lost myself because I was so wrapped up in the work.’ ‘Try to take two positives for every negative.’ ‘If we don´t speak up for ourselves and for others, we´re never going to be able to change anything.’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.facebook.com/ottawa.basketeers VALUABLE RESOURCES http://katalystcoaching.com/ https://www.facebook.com/katherinelorangerkatalystcoaching https://www.instagram.com/katalyst_coaching/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherinewaller/ ABOUT THE HOST Transformational Life Coach, best selling author and founder of Katalyst Coaching, Katherine Loranger asserts to the bold and determined that life is theirs for the taking.

In this episode, Katherine speaks to Stacey Berger who is a Transformational Coach for Life and Business. Her heart-centred approach has helped thousands to attain their goals and enjoy more balanced lives. She shares how she has learned to be her own heroine. Stacey explains why she teaches people to tap into their intuition. As well as explaining how to continually grow, have a positive impact on others and be true to yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being true to yourself ensures you do not get lost and end up trying to be someone you are not. Compartmentalizing your life and being a different person in each of your worlds is not viable or healthy. Learn to listen to your intuition - to what your body, in particular your nervous system, is telling you. Pause and ask yourself regularly if what you are doing feels right. Asking what your body needs from you right now is a good way to tune in to it and start to notice what it is telling you. In the podcasts, Katherine and Stacey share a simple way to do that. As soon as you beat yourself up, you go into resistance. When that happens, you cannot live to your fullest potential. Blaming others is giving your power away. Being a victim drains your energy. When you forgive, you stop wasting energy on what happened and can use that energy to live your life. Forgiveness is not about letting someone off the hook and saying that what they did is OK. There is no need to let what happened in the past control your future. Mentors and guides who are just a few steps in front of you are very tuned in to what your next step should be because they have just been there. Surrounding yourself with peers who are doing more than you is a great way to drive yourself. The more you grow the bigger your impact will be on others. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Spend some quiet time working out what you want out of life. It is never too late to do that. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can´t have two separate worlds. You are one person living one life.’ ‘Follow your intuition. Your heart knows what feels right and what doesn´t.’ ‘The moment we take responsibility for our own life, we´re really claiming our power.’ EPISODE RESOURCES www.staceyberger.ca www.facebook.com/everexpanding https://www.instagram.com/staceyaberger/ www.youtube.com/c/EverexpandingCa ABOUT THE GUEST You are more capable than you know.

In this episode, Katherine speaks to Valerie Connell who is a certified life coach who focuses on helping women recover from alcoholism as well as co-dependant and coercive relationships. She shares details of her life journey and how she realized that she had been affected by being bought up by alcoholic parents. Including how she learned to overcome feeling utterly alone, being an outsider, feeling utterly lost and becoming emotionally unavailable. She explains why she became more vulnerable to predatory individuals and how helping others played a role in her breaking this pattern. Valerie also explains how to uncover and be your true self, not settle and continue to learn and grow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most people feel that they have no idea of what they are doing, at some stage of their life. It is all too easy to become a chameleon, adopting other people´s goals and taking care of others while not caring for yourself. When you have experienced co-dependency in a key relationship it makes you more vulnerable to manipulative and predatory types. You need to recognize negative relationship patterns and make changes to break that cycle. People who have been where you are today can help you to navigate your way through. You need to be kind to yourself. To learn to forgive yourself. Accept that you will continue to make some mistakes. You are human. Being kind to yourself, helps you to become more empathetic and therefore kinder to others. When you don´t handle things well, accept the situation, forgive yourself and consider if there is anything you can do differently to reduce the chances of it happening again. Don´t put on a facade, be yourself. Only you need to be OK with how you live your life. It is entirely up to you. Settling in a relationship is not healthy. You either both want the same thing, or you don´t. If you don´t that is OK Ask for help and let people in. BEST MOMENTS ‘You decide how you are going to show up.’ ‘It starts with a lot of rigorous honesty and dropping a lot of the stories.’ ‘The kinder I can be to myself, the kinder I can be to other people.’ ‘Ask for help and let people in.’ ‘Get out of the habit of settling.’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.facebook.com/valerie.connell.39/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-connell-8a7955149/ http://www.valerieconnell.com/ ABOUT THE GUEST Valerie currently resides in Montreal, Quebec.

In this episode, Katherine speaks to Lisa Crawford who is passionate about helping her community. She decided to do this by spearheading Salons Against Domestic Abuse, an organization that trains people to act as an effective bridge to help those suffering from abuse. She tells her story, explaining how being bullied helped to motivate her to provide practical support to victims of abuse. During the podcast, Lisa goes through the steps someone would need to take to get themselves out of an abusive relationship. They also talk about coping when a loved one takes their own life- As well as diving deep into how Lisa stays grounded, copes with a busy and stressful life and stays focused on helping as many abuse victims as possible. KEY TAKEAWAYS We all have the power to help others. Domestic violence is becoming more common. Covid definitely made things worse. Being bullied or abused tears you down and makes you question your worth. It is hard for someone in a domestic violence situation to leave. There are many reasons for this. For many, a lack of funds to pay for an alternative home is a huge barrier. Most police forces will be able to explain to a victim where they can get help. Be kind. Everyone struggles at times. You do not know what is going on in people’s lives. Tuning into what is truly important to you is essential. Journalling, talking to loved ones and things like walking that give you time to think are all highly beneficial. Kids are great reflectors. Being around them helps you to see things you would have otherwise missed. Having a strong support network is important. It helps you to vent and keep things in balance. Bad things don´t last forever. Things will get better. You need to trust yourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘For domestic abuse victims, psychology and counselling is definitely crucial’ ‘Trust yourself.’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.crawfordmasterstylists.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/Crawford-Master-Stylists-Ltd-221077731252231 https://www.instagram.com/crawford.m.s/ The Heartland Alliance Domestic Advice Counselling - https://www.heartlandalliance.org/program/violence-recovery-services/ ABOUT THE GUEST Lisa is the proud owner of Crawford Master Stylists Ltd.

In this episode, Katherine speaks to Lauren Broiller who is a transformational coach as well as the co-founder and CEO of Soul Savvy. Her passion is assisting others to build their dreams, accelerate their results and create richer and more fulfilling lives. Lauren´s bite-size approach is easy to follow, which is one reason it works so well. Lauren shares her story, explaining how the breakdown of her marriage turned out to be a positive thing in her life rather than a negative. She shares how she used affirmations to change her mindset and become who she really wanted to be. Making many of the biggest changes in just a few months. KEY TAKEAWAYS You create your own reality. Affirmations work. Anyone can use them to attain the life they actually want. When you affirm the life of your dreams you exert influence on your subconscious mind, which in turn affects what you do and how you act. Most of us try to conform so much in life that we end up not being ourselves. Change can be traumatic, but it is also liberating. It is a mistake to wallow in the past and the drama of a breakup. You need to rewrite your story yourself. Learn to recognise your instincts and listen to them. If your instincts are telling you not to do something, don´t talk yourself into doing it. It doesn´t matter where you start. Your mind is designed to adapt extremely fast and guide you to a better place. BEST MOMENTS ‘I wake up every day with passion and purpose. ´ ‘The largest struggle was to not tell the drama story. I knew I was going to be the heroine of my own story. It wasn’t about him.’ ‘I just knew that I needed a fire under my arse if I was really going to do this. So, I put in my resignation.’ ‘It really comes down to how fast you are willing to change.’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.facebook.com/soulsavvyLLC https://www.instagram.com/soul.savvy/ https://www.soulsavvy.com/ The Answer by John Assaraf Download Lauren’s Free Powerful Affirmations for Self Confidence guide -https://www.soulsavvy.org/power ABOUT THE GUEST Lauren is an award-winning transformational coach and the founder and CEO of Soul Savvy.
