door #21: inspiration

Join me to inspire, be inspired and share the inspiration with our family, friends, neighbors, colleagues...anyone. The purpose of writing for 21 days (+2 for missed days) was to share all the ways I have been inspired when I've gone knocking on doors. My knocking days will never be over. I seek inspiration. Let's seek it together.

What inspires you? Who inspires you? How are you using the gifts that you were born with to inspire others? Are you uninspired - just chugging along without intention? There is so much that we can draw inspiration from once we become aware of what is going on around the outside and the inside. 

Inspiration = Revelation = little fire lit under your ass

It can come from anywhere: a quote, someone you admire, a stranger, your children, a public figure, a picture, nature, a friend, family, friends, news, teachers....and everywhere. The most coolest place that inspiration can come from is YOU. We all have the answers to everything inside us but we need to do some major excavation to find them. How? Knock-Knock. Honestly, I know of no other way. I love immediate gratification and it ain't coming this way. I've learned to let go of the quick-fix because the process is where the magic happens. Seriously.

I want to be around people that are inspirational. I want to have inspirational conversations. I want to witness inspiration. Ultimately, I want to inspire so the gift keeps on giving. 

I'm inspired to keep KNOCKING and hope that you will join me too! The doors will always be there for you and I'll be on the other side waiting to welcome you with a huge hug. I hope by sharing my experiences and you've been inspired too. 

Words cannot adequately express my gratitude to anyone that has spent the time to read my thoughts in black & white. The process has inspired me to create a monthly Conversation Series to welcome anyone behind any door. The featured picture is the Open Doors Studio awaiting your knock and my hug! Come on up.

With a humungous amount of love,
Katie

door #20: goals

What are your goals? This is a common question and especially among a group of achievers. Let's spend some time behind this door to try to understand what goals really are, how we make them and how we go about either achieving, adjusting or abandoning them. 

Goals = Dreams = Desires

Personally, I enjoy making goals. I usually write them out when I need some clarity and then they get stuffed in a notebook or a drawer to be discovered some other time. I don't carry them around with me and check little boxes. I'm usually pretty amazed that when I find my little list, a majority of them have been achieved. I also set goals that I don't achieve. Like I'm going to lose 5 pounds in 3 weeks. You can't just set a goal and not do the work required to achieve it! 

Here are the basic steps in goal setting:
1. Set the goal
2. Believe, deeply believe, that it's possible
3. Make daily choices so they are aligned with your goal
4. Do the work to make the goal a reality
5. Celebrate you did it

Here's one that I set 3 years ago:
1. Participate in an amateur boxing match in 4 months and win
2. A friend believed I could do it and then I did too.
3. Training was a # priority for me and I had awesome support
4. I trained (classes, sparring, personal training) 6 days per week and many days double sessions
5. I celebrated I won but upon reflection, that I did the work to get there. 

I'd give myself a high grade for goal setting: play a sport in college, find a job 1 week after graduating, buy a house, 21 day cleanse, marathon, triathlon, big family, build a business, learn meditation, write for 21 days, become the best version of me, etc. I've been called an 'over achiever' way too many times. It used to piss me off but then I realized it was simply a judgment of my effort. If I choose to set a goal, I will typically achieve it - as long as I follow steps #1-5. I'm now proud of my [over]achievements. The difference today is that I now want to set my goals with clear intentions that are aligned with MY heart.

Here's what we should be curious about re: goals. Why have you set your goals? Are they because of expectation of your parents, family, spouse, friends, co-workers? Are they what you really want to achieve? Are they aligned with your values? Do they get you closer to fulfilling your life purpose? Do they inspire you or do they make you tired just thinking about them? What will you do once you achieve them? How do you react if you don't achieve them? What will or won't you allow to get in your way? Does achieving your goal build people around you up or knock them down? Who helps you achieve them? Who do you acknowledge for getting there? 

It's kind of important to be able to ponder/answer these questions before you even set goals. Once you get clear, you can set the big goals and sub-goals to get you there.

If you are going to put so much time and effort towards achieving a goal, you ought to make sure it's going to work for YOU! Many people are busy achieving goals that other people set for them: graduate from an Ivy League school, get a job in banking/law/medical, marry someone perfect looking, be thin, have perfect children, live in a beautiful home, stay at home and raise your children, put dinner on the table every night....and so on.

Here's my current list in no particular order:

1. Get our house painted
2. Meditate every day
3. 02X Summit Challenge - Oct 1
4. Create an inspiring and successful Open Doors Conversation Series
5. Do 10 pull-ups in a row
6. Be invited to give a commencement speech
7. Volunteer at an orphanage
8. Create significant wealth doing what I love
9. Learn something new every day
10. Inspire others

Let's hang out behind Door #21 together. Once you make your goals known, you'll be amazed at how much faster you can get there. There is also zero shame in changing or saying goodbye to your goals. When you do, you release energy to do what you really want to do. And, you'll learn a lot in the process.

I like the word DREAM better! What are your dreams?

With love,
Katie

door #19: hugs

The first thing you will receive when you come through is a big HUG! Unlike the other doors, you may not have to spend much time here but if you do, it will make you feel great! If it makes you uncomfortable, go knocking on tons of other doors and then please come back. 

I love giving hugs but I don't see them given out much any longer. This makes me sad. I have a vision of someday volunteering at (or even funding one once I allow the financial abundance in) an orphanage. I picture myself giving hugs and holding babies all day long. The thought of this brings me an immense amount of joy.  I'm not sure when a simple hug turned into a slimy 'move' to either get in your pants or molest you. Huh? Teachers are afraid to give their students hugs  or are forbidden to do so. How have we become so afraid of touch? Sure, go ahead and touch screens all day long but don't you dare touch me. Right.

We all want, deserve and need hugs. It's the most fundamental form of a human connection - give & take. They are totally FREE and will instantly change the energy when you give a hug from your heart (versus an obligation). We've all experienced awkward hug moments! The most common is when someone comes in arms open and the handshake comes straight out to block it. Just give the hug right back. It won't harm you or your career; promise. 

If you need a little inspiration, check out http://amma.org/about/how-she-began Totally awesome! Something so simple can transform millions of people. 

Be curious about how you feel about hugs. Are you okay giving them but getting one is awkward? Kinda nice when you get one but rarely you ever give one? Do you avoid them all together? Did you grow up in a hugger family or not? Do you think talking about hugs is utterly ridiculous? Hugging is definitely not something we go around thinking or having conversation about but it surfaces lots of good material. Let's tell everyone about Door #19 and create a movement to bring HUGS back wherever we go!

With love & hugs,
Katie

door #18: abundance

Abundance is a choice. I started knocking on Door #18 earlier this year when I figured out that I was entitled to abundance and the only thing in the way was myself. There is enough of everything available to us if we choose to let it in: joy, laughter, money, food, peace, love, time....when you choose abundance and it comes from your heart, you can have whatever want. 

We live in an a world where the fear of not having enough is the foundation of what we think and therefore do. Imagine if the belief that we could all have access to an abundant amount of anything we wanted, was our story. 

In our world we have enough: money, food, water, oil, housing, clothing, books, love, gratitude...... What limits us from getting what we want is simply our beliefs. Again, something simple, yet so complicated. When you start knocking on doors, any door, you begin to be curious and question your beliefs, where they came from, why you believe them and wondering if it's time to let them go. 

I am choosing to seek financial abundance. Our family works really hard and we are really grateful for where we are today but my intention is to create at least $13-17M (favorite #'s) of financial security; not to hoard it but to provide choices to our family and to deploy it into the world with love and kindness. Since I have so much to give and always choose to give, I am intentionally going to choose to receive as well. I always fear being perceived as greedy but you know what? I am not greedy and I will never, ever be greedy. I am putting out into the Universe that I am worthy of financial abundance. I am following my heart. This isn't something that will consume me, like doing something wrong or unethical or illegal to achieve it. I am just going to practice doing the work to BELIEVE it because I have learned that your thoughts create your reality.

Think about something in your life that you would like to be more abundant. Understand what it is, start believing that you are worth of receiving it, send your intention into the Universe with your heart and see what happens. It may require hanging behind a few other doors to figure it out. I want you to have anything and everything that you want. Because there IS ENOUGH of whatever you seek. 

Please join me behind the Door of Abundance! I want to be here every day for the rest of my life. In fact, I'll meet you behind any door every day. The learning and our own personal evolutions never end!

With love,
Katie

door #17: balance

If you are seeking more balance, come on in. It's an interesting topic. It seems to not matter who you are or what you do; everyone is always seeking more B.A.L.A.N.C.E. What does that really mean? I'm still trying to figure it out and what I've realized is when you let the outside forces define it for you, you may never actually find it.  
 
Balance = Harmony
Harmony = Flow
Flow = Effortless Execution

For me, the most literal definition of balance is when I watch my daughter doing gymnastics on the balance beam. It seem effortless yet I know it takes an incredible amount of time to master because she is there 25+ hours per week practicing. The key here is 'practice'. Unless you are a super-freak, developing any skill takes practice and in order to create the kind of balance that we, as adults, are trying to find, it is no different. Practice.

Most important, in order to find balance, you need to eradicate guilt - the shame of not giving everyone enough time, enough attention, enough of anything. Again, recognize that we are all doing the best we can and learn from your own experiences. We are all trying to figure it out. 

I have come to learn, but still trying to put into practice, that I'm at my best when everything I do - work, family, social - becomes integrated. When you create bridges to all parts of your life, then you can easily cross them at any time. This works best for me because I am not able to live my life in little compartments. My balance = how I feel and I'm beginning to both understand and articulate how I feel. I also know that I can't be perfect at everything = letting go. Some days are going to be totally imbalanced (when I haven't fed the six people in my house a morsel of food) but when I look back over the month or year, my hope is that the percentage of days with "flow" have the highest percentage. If not, it's incentive to change something. 

Don't let other people define 'balance' in your life. It's as unique as you are. If a friend puts dinner on the table for her family every night, and mine eats cereal 3 nights per week, then I'm a loser-bag. Yet, my family does eat breakfast for dinner many nights and 'we' are all doing okay. We all have the power to define our own balance. Figure out what works for YOU and the people most important in your life.

There is so much advice out there to achieve work/life balance. When we are not experiencing HARMONY or BALANCE, whether you are working or not, we need to be curious about it and understand what's going on. Once you understand it, you can begin to change the things in your life that take you out of balance.

I read something recently that life generally feels out of balance when you are not receiving the connection that you desire at work or at home or wherever you put your time & effort. You may have a workplace that values your opinion and efforts but when you go home that is missing........you need to change something at home, not at work.

In addition to work/life balance, we also need to be curious about mind/body/spirit balance. This is a life long learning expedition. Pay attention to balance. It's totally in our control and we DO have a choice to find a way to create more harmony in our lives. And, have more conversations about it. It may just open a few more doors for you. Knock, knock.

With love,
Katie

door #16: gratitude

Welcome! Before you can come through, you are required to name something for which you are grateful. EVERYONE can find something. Yet, we go through our days, the typical 'grind', and forget about expressing gratitude.

Newsflash: when you begin anything and the source comes from a place of gratitude, the outcome will always be okay. It's kind of like when you are really angry and make a fake smiley face, your anger dissipates. There is some scientific back up for this.....if you haven't tried it, do so. It works!

About five years ago, I was a facilitator/participant in a family meeting. The other participants were all dudes and crazy smart - like double-Ivy-league-educated smart: Drs, lawyers, MBAers. I was visualizing the all the day meeting and anticipating some conflicts that may arise. Nobody asked me but all I could think about before was how I could change the tempo of the meeting? I spent a 1/2 day doing the math of how much value, in dollars, has been passed on to them from their parents over e pas t 40+ years. It was round #'s but covered their education, gifts via Trusts, GRATs, etc. The amount was huge and I totaled it all on a homemade flip chart for each category. It was about $80M and for shits & giggles, the last page showed the value, in dollars, that was passed on to me $55K. No joke. The point was to ensure that all these really wonderful, really smart people had a foundation of GRATITUDE for the next 7-8 hours. I think it worked!

What are you grateful for? How often to you express it? Who do you tell, who needs to hear it? Saying 'thank you' will never get old. I've trained my four kids so well that every time I say 'what do you say?' their automatic response is 'thank you' even if it's not appropriate. One of my parenting wins!!!

When I was growing up, we couldn't leave the house without writing our thank you notes for anything we received. It was a chore but now I am so thankful that my Mom forced us to do it. I have to admit, though, that in my current life busy-ness, while I am no less grateful, I've become lazy in my expression of it. My favorite way to express gratitude is the good old fashioned way - writing it and sending it in the mail. It's the absolute best and now-a-days will always be remembered. Teach your kids to do this, start yourself.

This long, holiday weekend there is so much to be grateful for - our freedom, your family, the ability to breathe, food on your table, love, laughter, friends, the sound of children.......the list is endless!

Come hang behind Door #16. No matter what you have going on in your life, there is ALWAYS gratitude. Express gratitude from your heart and express it often. Nobody will ever get tired of receiving it. 

With love,
Katie

p.s. THANK YOU J&J xoxo

door #15: story

Everyone has a unique story. I love knowing someone's story; it's a privilege. Let's hear about your story behind Door #15.

In my work, confidentiality and privacy is paramount. I have 1000% respect for it professional but personally I see the limitations because it tends to close doors which equals limited story telling/sharing. The less you share, the more people start to make up your story; you lose power. No doubt, there are many things that should remain private yet when you grant people access to your own 'door' or maybe even just a 'window' magical things can happen. 

I love talking with people about their stories and sharing mine. And, if you've ever hung out with me socially, you've probably witnesses how I might use a few drinks to start to pry open the door! :) So many people walk around life finding ways to build walls around them due to fears, shame, embarrassment, perfectionism, not feeling good enough, caring what other people will think, etc. My guess is for every one person worldwide who is willing to sharing his/her story, there are 25 who won't or haven't. Based on my (unscientific) theory, that means 7.1B people are not sharing stories. Okay, if 5 of 25 share that means 5.92B are still unheard. That's a shit-ton no matter what ratio you use. 

When you are curious about your own and other's stories, you behind to break down the barriers; it's somewhat counterintuitive. If you are super private, think about time when you learned about someone else and what you received in exchange for his/her openness. Human connection occurs when you give and you receive. So stop being so stingy with your story, please!

When you take interest in someone's personal story, you begin to connect the dots and gain more clarity. You build empathy to realize everyone is really doing the best they can and you'll get a glimpse behind the facade they typically show the world.

I recall learning things about my parents that I had NO idea about. When I was in the bottom on the Empire State Building, I saw a plaque that my mother's grandfather, Alfred E. Smith, was the president in 1930. I knew he was the first Catholic to run for President of the US but learning these other little facts was like....Huh? This then turned into learning so much more conversation which gave me so much more compassion for my Mom. Until I saw a bunch of pictures of my father, with my aunt and uncle, walking the boardwalk in Palm Beach with fancy-pants clothes on, I didn't appreciate the stories about his childhood. Then I was like...where all the money at? :)

The best way to know someone's story is to ask and then LISTEN! What you'll find is most people are happy to share but people usually do not take the time to ask. Challenge: over the weekend, be curious about someone and find out the story. Ask someone unassuming - everyone has something to give. See how they light up. There are at least 5.9B untold stories. Knock, knock.

With love,
Katie

p.s. There an entirely different Door to talk about the 'story' that is playing in your mind. That's a different story! xo

door #14: energy

When I was doing my research about meditation (because I've trained myself to validate everything!), I learned that Jerry Seinfeld was a meditator and he viewed meditation as an endless source of energy that you can tap into and costs nothing. Sold. Let's take a peek behind this door to start to understand our own energy and that which exists around us everywhere. 

Energy is, again, something that I am unable to really explain, because I missed all those quantum physics classes, but I deeply believe in its existence. And, I'm going to find an expert to hang around in here with us for some evidence-based knowledge. :) All is in motion and energy is required for movement - that much I know is true. In my life, energy is a 'vibe' which is short for vibration and every single thing we experience is a vibration - we are our thoughts and actions - we are energy. 

When I walk into a room or I meet someone, I can feel an energy. I can't explain it but I feel it - positive or negative. Everyone sends off energy and their energy comes from inside - the less doors someone has knocked on the more negative their energy. The more open we are, the more positive energy is emitted. How does one get more open? Yup, start knocking and hanging around behind any door! As you interact with people, slow down and notice the vibe, notice what you what you feel in their presence. Trust your intuition.

And the cool thing about energy is once you start to get real about understanding your own, you notice that energy attracts similar energy. This is why misery loves company. This is why there is a law of attraction: When you think (energy) positive, then positive attracts to you. When you think (energy), then negative comes to you.

You have the power to change your energy since you have the power to change your thoughts. You first have to become aware of what your are thinking. Sounds complicated and a lot of work. It's complicated because the human condition is complicated and yes, it's work. It's the best kind of 'work' because the results will give you a positive outcome. 

Here are some of the ways that I've seen energy at work:

*When I had the vision of 'opening doors' and I thought about it a lot, I made a trip to Barnes & Nobles to buy a book for a friend. On the budget aisle in the front of the store, I was drawn to a book called "The Four Doors". I have never browsed the budget aisle. Huh?

*When I went away with my sister Beth last April to Miraval, she met with a healer (in the handicap bathroom because she worked at the juice bar) and she healed her broken heart with her touch. It changed her path.

*Last fall, I was in a funk. I was not able to pin-point it to anything in particular but I sought an adjustment from a Brennan healer - the one who taught me the Mind Body Stress Reduction (MBSR) workshop. We chatted, she helped me acknowledge the little girl inside me looking to please everyone and put me on the table and did her work. I felt better.

*When I went to Miraval (noticing how much I LOVE this place?) in March by myself, I had a one hour shamanic journey with Dr. Tim and it brought me to tears. He told me things about myself that were so profound such as: my mother, my angel, was in the crib with my children when they were babies. Having four kids in 4.5 years and never being sleep deprived.....now explained! 

*I had a cranial sacral session - very light touch energy work. Almost like 'what am I paying for' work! When the woman was walking me out, she asked what I did for work? I was holding way too much in my head. Nailed it. She tapped into my energy.

*I have learned more about the energy channels in our body - the chakras - 7 spiritual energy centers in our bodies. Interesting stuff!!

*I bought as many books as I could find about Money & Energy. My favorite so far is the Soul of Money by Lynne Twist.

*I just recently smudged the space above or garage to clear any negative energy. Why not?

*In an effort to align my energy, I went to two different master energy healers in neighboring towns. Primarily so I could set myself up to begin a new chapter with clarity but also to see if this energy thing was valid! They were different but their readings were very similar. One also channeled my mother and grandmother. Fascinating.

Come on in. Learn with me. Get curious about energy. It's everywhere. Tap into your intuition and begin to trust it. If you need an energy adjustment, learn why and seek it. There are so many amazing people who are out there who are just waiting to help us. Surround yourself with positivity, make a choice to reject the negativity. Seek the good vibrations with intention.

With love,
Katie 

door #13: your gifts

I just started knocking on this door about 4 months ago. I came across this door after I began opening others and this question would come up "what are your gifts?" and I couldn't and still can't really answer it. Huh? Come join me to figure the gifts that we were born with so we can put them out into the world. These gifts are totally free but take time and intention to try to figure out.

We are ALL have gifts  - some figure it out early because they are obvious (music, art, IQ, athletics) yet most of our gifts are subtle. Typically, we just chug along in life, meeting everyone's expectation, getting busy and life just goes on. The trigger to discover your unique gifts may be some big life event that forces to you consider what you are doing and why. But, how great would it be to discover them intentionally so you can start using them immediately? Let's do it.

Gifts = Strengths and Talents = your Purpose

It takes lot of experience (jobs, relationships, decisions) to figure out what you like and don't like. It takes time to figure out what brings you joy and what doesn't. Once you start to get really, really curious about these things, you'll begin to align yourself with what you were born to do.

What would you do if time, money or other people's expectations were not a consideration? Your answer may come quickly or it may take a REALLY long time to figure out - usually the latter. Until you know the answer, you can't align your life with your purpose for being put on this earth and you'll always be searching even if everything on the surface seems great. I know, I'm experiencing this right now.

Discover your life's purpose. I asked my husband last week, 'what's your life purpose?' and he replied, 'to take care of my family'. Really sweet and thankful for this and said, 'when you were born you didn't have us. The desire to take care of us may be a responsibility but it's not your GIFT'. The conversation didn't go much further! :)

Maybe my trigger was hitting my mid-forties and thinking what the heck am I going to be doing for the next 5, 10, 15 years. You can ask yourself this at any point in your life. Many do but are driving full steam ahead to the future or just achieving goals versus getting quiet and getting curious about why we are even here in the first place. We take it for granted, really. Hanging behind Door #13 requires reflection, patience, digging deep within ourselves, asking questions, trial and error, discovering 'flow' (when you are doing something that seem effortless), seeking help....

I want to get clear of my gifts/talents/strengths so I can live the rest of my life in the most meaningful way. So I can be AUTHENTIC in everything  that I do. So I am doing what I love and loving what I do.

With some self-discovery and opening other doors, here my unique gifts, I think:

Compassion - I don't care who you are, where you came from or how much you have, I care about you.

Big picture and little details - I can quickly figure out how to connect dots and understand a story and how to get from point A to B.

Heart - In everything I do, I must lead with my heart/love or else it's not authentic and feels really crappy.

No resentment - It's almost impossible for me to resent anyone or anything. I might not forget something but I never hold a grudge. I believe we are all trying to do the best we can.

What unique gifts did you bring into this world and how are you using them? This is our *foundation* and everything we do must come from this place. Discover them with me, please. I'm delighted to welcome you to come through Door #13, plus it's my favorite #! 

With love,
Katie

door #12: feelings

When I was growing up, I don't ever recall anyone ever asking me the direct question 'how do you feel?'. My parents didn't ask me because their parents didn't ask them. It's time to come through Door #12 to begin to break the cycle and understand how we feel and how to express it.

Newsflash: humans have feelings yet most of us can't name them. When someone asks me how I feel, my typical answer is 'great' or 'fine' which most of the time, thankfully, is the truth. But I'm not always great or fine, I just don't have the words to express it and in my 40's learning how to be aware of feelings.

When you are not able to express your feelings you suppress them - just stuff them inside awaiting an exit at some point in the future and usually pointed toward someone who was not responsible for making you feel that way in the first place. That someone is usually the people closest to you. The guy in the car driving home pissed you off so you came home and yelled at the kids or your spouse. Kinda screwy when you stop to think about this.

There are sooo many things we can use to hide our feelings: money, tons-o-stuff, drugs, alcohol, humor, silence, anger, fear, fake happiness, competitiveness, anxiety, abuse, excessive anything....you get it. Not knowing how to express your feelings is a form of self-abuse because the person it ends up hurting the most is YOU! Another newsflash: once you start to understand your feelings and then express them, you are not going to turn into a pansy. I promise.

Earlier this year, my awesome business coach Kathryn, came to do a workshop for our team and the foundation was communication. None of us had any formal training in communication - shocking to me actually. We are all well education, well adjusted adults but have never been taught, in or out of work, how to communicate. So, she started us with the basics: state a feeling and then a thought. Easy. "I feel as though you never take me seriously" Wrong. "as though you never take me seriously" is NOT a feeling. Think about how many times you say 'feel' and then following it with an actual feeling - happy, mad, glad, sad, frustrated. Rarely. "I feel sad that when I say something important I am never taken serious". Correct. And the energy that comes through the latter sentence is powerfully different - it takes away the defense. Catch yourself doing this. It's an epidemic!

Feelings start with thoughts and then pass through your body. You'll notice this when you hang behind this door for a while. Most of us have the thought and are masters at stuffing that 'feeling' deep inside somehow that we miss the opportunity to actually feel.

Many times it's difficult to articulate our feelings but when we do, with someone that we trust, everything gets better. Your communication is about how YOU feel versus placing blame on someone else - it's not about them it's about YOU.

Feelings = emotions.

Professionally, the motto is 'leave your feelings at the door'. Many households have this motto too. Knowing that we all have feelings and we spend some much 'time' working or in your home, who the hell came up with the idea that you shouldn't express your feelings all the time? It's totally ridiculous. You don't need to be an emotional wrecking ball but once we all accept the truth that we have feelings, then we can opening express them and move on. It's that simple.

I *state a feeling* when *state a thought*. Simple.

Notice how your body changes when a feeling comes over you. The obvious one is when you may get embarrassed (starts out as a thought in your head: I look like an giant ass right now)and your face or neck turns beat red (feeling expressed in your body). There are obvious ones and there many subtle ones.

Notice when you have a positive feeling - what happens?
Notice when you have a negative feeling - what happens?

The more you become aware of how you feel, you will understand your thoughts and the easier you can express your feelings in the moment so you don't have to pack it away for another day on someone else.

Are you starting to see when you begin to "Open Doors" they are all connected? Anyone is welcome through any door. Start with how you feel when you open any of the the doors - what thought comes to you and how does your body react. The stronger the reaction, the more time you need to hang out there. Stop the cycle of stuffing!

I feel so grateful to welcoming you in. I'll see you here often.

With love,
Katie
