The Showin' up with Grit and Grace podcast hosted by Katrina is a breath of fresh air in the world of self-improvement podcasts. As a teacher, I find this podcast especially relatable, but it also resonates with me in many other aspects of life. The way Katrina presents her ideas and experiences allows me to put everything into perspective and gives me the grace to accept where I am while also motivating me to implement new strategies into my routine to improve in various ways. Every episode leaves me looking forward to the next one.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Katrina's passion for helping others. It shines through in every episode, making her an engaging and inspiring host. She brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to each topic she discusses, which adds depth and authenticity to the content. Whether she is talking about self-care, productivity, mindset, or personal growth, Katrina's passion for these subjects encourages listeners to truly reflect on their own lives and take action towards positive change.
Moreover, the format of each episode is well-structured and organized. Katrina presents her ideas clearly and concisely while keeping the conversation flowing smoothly. She often provides practical tips and actionable steps that listeners can immediately incorporate into their daily routines. This makes the podcast not only informative but also highly applicable in real-life situations. The episodes are also well-paced, ensuring that there is a good balance between introducing new concepts and allowing time for deeper reflection.
However, no podcast is perfect, and there are a few areas where this one could improve. Firstly, while Katrina's passion is evident throughout the episodes, at times it can come across as slightly overwhelming. Some listeners may prefer a more relaxed approach or a variety of hosting styles to cater to different preferences. Additionally, although the topics discussed are relevant and relatable, there could be more diversity in guest speakers or perspectives offered within each episode. This would provide a broader range of insights and experiences, further enriching the content.
In conclusion, The Showin' up with Grit and Grace podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration, motivation, and practical strategies to enhance various aspects of their lives. Katrina's passion for helping others is infectious, making the episodes engaging and relatable. While there is room for improvement in terms of hosting style and diversity of perspectives, the overall quality of the content and the actionable steps provided make this podcast valuable and worth tuning in to. I eagerly anticipate each new episode and look forward to continuing my journey of growth alongside Katrina.
I saw a quote on social media... something along the lines of "when you don't know what else to work on, work on yourself." That spoke to me and inspired me to take action.Listen for a few ways to get your spark back!You're doing awesome! I'm right here with ya girl!Support the show
Maybe what you need right now is to just get quiet and listen to what is in your head and on your heart?! I understand we don't have control of our initial thoughts so when you get quiet there might be some garbage or things that don't serve you...BUT there are some honest truths that you need to listen to. There might be some things that you can unpack. Just get curious and listen- when you're driving, in the morning before others are awake, before bed, meditate, when you're feeding the baby, take a long bath...wherever and whenever you can! I just encourage you to get quiet and listen to yourself.You're doing awesome! I'm right here with you girl!Support the show
I'm not sure where it originates but I remember Dave Hollis saying "if you're not growing, you're dying." I think that is a really powerful quote. When life feels stale- find a way to challenge yourself! We should always be intentionally challenging ourselves.I want you to find a way to challenge yourself for the next 7 days. Pick what it is, commit, and then do it! It's just 7 days and when you reach the goal, you'll realize that it is so much more than that!You've got this! We're reaching for a better version of ourselves, a little 7 day challenge is a great way to do that! You're doing awesome! I'm right here with ya girl!Support the show
You guys! Comparison steals joy! I know it is so easy to compare ourselves to others or a different version of ourselves, but it doesn't serve us! You're doing awesome! I'm right here with ya girl!Support the show
Y'all, balance is bullshit. It is dang near impossible because there are so many variables to finding balance that are outside of your circle of control! Try this instead...You're doing awesome! I'm right here with ya girl!Support the show
Girl, it's gone happen. You're going to be pumped to do cool shit and then get started and life happens. You get sick, the car breaks down, the dog gets hurt, you need a new washer, you lose your job- something happens to knock you off course. And then later, something else happens and knocks you on your ass. It happens to us all! BUT, you CAN get back up. You can do hard things. You've done hard things before!!You're got this. I'm here cheering you on, getting knocked on my ass too. But we're getting back up...there's cool shit we need to do!You're doing awesome! I'm right here with you girl!Support the show

You guys, shit is going to suck. You're going to be doing just fine going along, rocking out, feeling good, and then there will be something to knock you off course. This happens in so many ways and we know this because it has happened before!Since we're aware, we need to get prepped with the right tools and mindset to handle the situation the best we can. Let's first start with the question, "is it serving you?"Life can get bumpy but you've got this... I'm right here with you girl!Support the show
I went to the doctor yesterday and had mohs surgery on my forehead. I definitely needed a lollipop afterward!! It reminded me of this episode so I thought it was the perfect time to replay it!I listened to a Jay Shetty meditation and he talked about how much a lollipop helped going to the doctor when we were little kids. And then when we grow up and get older, stuff like that stops. Although we don't continue to get lollipops at the doctor, you have to admit, it sure helped didn't it? That's why we need to find ways to "give ourselves a lollipop" now as adults! This is very similar to my idea of a joy list/incorporating joy in our days.We do hard things and uncomfortable things daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly! Let's reward ourselves for it!You're doing awesome! I'm right here with you, girl!Support the show
