I’m passionate about empowering women and helping to close the gender gap in senior leadership. 

I spent 18 years in tech and biotech sales, holding positions as a VP and EVP, Sales. Along the way I introduced many brand new technologies to market, built a commercial organization from scratch, and scaled a hyper-growth team to achieve 9 digit revenue growth in 2 years.

Despite this success, I struggled for years with my transition from Manager to Director to VP, and even asked myself if I was cut out to be a senior executive.  

Finally, I ‘figured it out’ and had the confidence, knowledge and skills that I needed to be an impactful leader. 

My mission at Insights to Action is to help others get there by sharing what I’ve learned.

I want to use my passion to help more women transition to senior leadership and help leaders make that leap from unsure and unfocused to strategic, decisive and outcome driven - all without burning out. My goal is to help women thrive as executives, instead of merely surviving. 

I would love to work with you on your journey and look forward to connecting!

#1 in helping women become VPs and thrive in leadership | Former Exec | Certified Coach | Forbes.com contributor | Host of More Women Promoted Podcast

Jacqueline (Jackie) Menzel

As a new manager, I noticed giving feedback to men on my team was no problem,

But to the young women? They fell apart...

Not gonna lie - this really surprised me

It had never even occurred to me that there would be a gender difference in this area

And in thinking about it, I believe it comes down to conditioning.

As women, we often did not grow up receiving a lot of constructive feedback

Generally speaking, we were taught to be 'good girls', to put our hands up, to sit nicely in class... and we gladly complied.

Meanwhile, our male counterparts (generally speaking) were subject to more correction...

So while we grew up getting good girl pats on the head - and internalizing the concept that this is what made us good as people 

They grew up getting used to 'feedback'

Fast forward 10-15 years, and we all enter the professional workforce

Man gets told his report needs some editing. His response, "I'll get on it"

His internal narrative - 'The rest of my report must be amazing.' 

Woman gets told the same thing. Her response, "Absolutely, I'll make this change"

Her internal narrative - 'How did I make such a dumb mistake? I suck at my job.' 

So what can we do about this?

1. As parents, we can raise our girls to accept feedback for what it is and stop expecting them to be perfectly behaved little girls.

2. As women, we can acknowledge our prior conditioning and start working on receiving constructive feedback, without assuming that it's anything more than that. 

Positive self-talk is a key component of this.

3. For men who may be giving feedback, being aware of how someone may perceive direct feedback can help. 

Ensure that your employees feel valued through the process and create a culture of open, supportive feedback in an environment of trust.

The last thing I'll say is that an open, supportive feedback culture is good for everyone, men and women alike. 

Regardless of gender, feedback should always be paired with kindness. 

And ladies, you're amazing. You've got this. Remember that! ✌️💜

I've made a powerful change to how I speak:

Instead of saying "Sorry"
I say "Thank you"

If someone points out an error, instead of saying "OMG, I'm sorry about that!!"

I say, "Thanks for catching that. I'll make that change right away."

Instead of saying "I'm sorry I can't come to the event"

I say, "Thanks for thinking of me, I can't attend but maybe next time"

Instead of saying, "I'm sorry we're starting 5 minutes late"

I say, "Thanks so much for your patience. Let's dive in."

It may seem like a small thing, but it speaks volumes.

Why make this change?

Here are 3 data-backed reasons:

1. Apologizing too frequently reduces self-esteem.
2. When you over-apologize, people lose respect for you (key = over).
3. When you apologize too often, it makes real apologies seem less sincere.

This doesn't mean you should NEVER apologize.
But save it for a situation that actually warrants an apology.

For many people, apologizing is a verbal habit.
It's not even intentional, and you may not realize you're doing it. 

Lesson: Be intentional about when you apologize 
You'll come across as more confident and it will mean so much more when you do apologize. 

Plus, thanking someone feels great for both of you!

Do you have any verbal habits that you've changed? 
Let me know in the comments ✌️💜

Ever been judged by other women at work? 

Here’s the truth that most don't consider:

We've all heard the narrative that women don't support each other
Because we're threatened or competitive

I've ever heard people say that's how women are designed! 
(ummmm... no)

Here's another perspective:

Women may be judging you 
Because they haven't given themselves permission
To live the way you're living.

YOU represent what they feel they can't have.

I had this epiphany recently,
Talking to a woman who had a long corporate career

She was sharing stories about the judgement she received:

- When taking a break at lunch
- Coming in late or leaving early
- Doing a walking meeting with a colleague

And that this judgement always came from other women!

Reflecting, this made perfect sense to me.
Many women never give themselves a break!

As women, we feel as though we need to do it all.
And if we struggle to take these liberties,
It's easy to judge others who do

Whereas our male counterparts often have no issue doing what's right for them
So they don't care when we do it too!

Basically, it's rooted in jealousy,
Not malice.

So, ladies, this is your reminder:
It starts with us.

Giving ourselves some empathy
Giving ourselves a break.

Allowing ourselves to create the boundaries we need to thrive,
Not just survive in our jobs.

Because once we do that, 
It's really easy to support other women doing the same thing.

In fact, women who do this often become one another's biggest cheerleaders ✌️💜

I remember having no clue why I wasn't being promoted

I was running the sales and marketing function
I was part of the senior leadership team
I was working my a$$ off
Reporting to the CEO
My team loved me

And I was still being told I wasn't 'ready'

I did all of this for 5 years and never got that VP title

And I see so many of you in the exact same situation

The good news is, I finally figured it out 
And went on to become a successful VP and EVP

Here are the 3 lessons I learned:

1. If you're feeling stuck like I was, it doesn't mean you aren't ready
It may just mean you don't know how to show people you are

And this is 100% learnable. 

2. If you're running around like crazy in back-to-back meetings,
It's really hard to show up as an effective executive

Slow down to speed up.

3. A proven system and the right support make it 10x easier and faster
My sponsor was a key reason I became a VP

And I've since helped hundreds of women start to show up as VP-ready with my proven system

Just last week, two MORE women shared promotion announcements with me!! 

If you've been following me and looking for a sign to join my VP coaching program, this is it

Until Nov 30th, I'm offering a $900 discount off the price of the program 
This is your opportunity to make 2026 the year you get promoted. 

We start in January. 
DM me if you want in!

Women: Ever been called 'too assertive'?

This happens all the time - to women... 
But have you ever heard a man described this way?

Of course not! 

This "feedback" is rooted in bias and gender stereotypes
And it happens every day.

Assertiveness is seen as a key leadership trait,
And it's considered a good thing,
In men.

But in women, not so much.

Why??

Well (here come the gender stereotypes),
We're conditioned to see women as warm and nurturing,

So when we act assertively, people's brains get confused, resulting in something called the likeability backlash.

And this backlash can actually have a negative impact on women's careers!

So, to summarize:
When women display a leadership trait,
It can negatively impact their careers.

Believe it or not, I'm not trying to depress you here...

As women, we can learn to communicate in ways that allow us to be assertive,
And also combat the likeability backlash

And I teach this to women every day,

But truthfully, I'm waiting for a time when we don't have to do this

Let's stop asking women to jump through hoops
And just broaden our perspective on what a leader looks like ✌️💜

*Repost if you agree because more people need to hear this message!!

The most successful people wake up at 4am

Average guru morning routine:
- up at 4am
- freezing cold shower
- drink some lemon cayenne water (remember, we're fasting until dinner)
- make bed
- run a marathon
- read an entire book
- write an entire book
- another freezing cold shower
- mediate for 1hr
- make bed one more time
- start work

Okay, I'm kidding a little, but we've all seen these crazy routines! 

On the flip side,

Here's a typical morning for almost ALL of my career:
- never woke up before 6:45am
- shower in the morning? HA! Good one.
- never, ever skipped coffee (seriously??)
- spent my mornings chasing my kids around
- made it to my first meeting with 0 minutes to spare. Okay, sometimes 5mins late.

What's my point?

Well first, blanket advice is BS

A single, 27-year-old guy DOES have more hours in the day than a 38-year-old single mom of 3

We don't all live the same life,
And that's ok.

Second, you don't need the perfect 'guru' routine to be successful

I worked my way up to becoming a VP and EVP,
All without 5am runs or freezing cold showers

Now that I'm running my own business and have more freedom at work and support at home, I've made some changes:

- I'm up at 6:15am (sometimes earlier)
- I exercise and meditate in the morning before work

But these things aren't REQUIRED to build a happy life or successful career.

Do what works for you. 

And it's a-ok if 5am wake-ups and cold plunges don't make the list ✌️💜

I’m a woman and mother...
And I'm also ambitious and career-driven

I'm a professional...
And I also have tattoos, wear ripped jeans and drop the occasional F-bomb

I’m a vegan...
And I’m also strong and healthy (and yes, get enough protein)

I’m in my mid 40s...
And I'm also in the best shape of my life, and full of energy

Ladies, let’s stop worrying so much about:
- Aging
- Haters
- Stereotypes
- And what we 'shouldn't' be able to do

And let’s start deciding which stereotypes we're going to smash

Because guess what?
People WILL have opinions about what you can and can’t do...

But only you get to decide whether you want to listen 
Or prove them wrong. ✌️💜

PS. Tell me, what are you doing that you didn’t think you could?

Milestones are fake

I felt behind because I was single at 26
And it seemed like everyone else was getting engaged.

I felt behind because I took 6 years to finish university,
While my friends were starting real jobs 

I felt behind because I wasn't a VP at 35
While my male peers seemed to be getting promoted ahead of me.

Here's the thing:
I ended up finding true love at 39
I've built the career of my dreams
I became a VP and EVP in the end

It all happens in good time.

Instead of stressing out because you're not there today

Try to find the good in where you are.

Yes, take action to achieve your dreams.

But remember that life is all about the journey.

And you're on your own path ✌️💜

PS. I look at my life now, and I wouldn't change a darn thing.

3 myths I need to bust about the gender pay gap:

1. Women make less because we negotiate less

I thought this was true for a long time!  But in a study from a couple of years ago, women negotiated MORE than men...

And we were still paid less. 

2. The gender pay gap is the result of choosing different professions. 

Not true. Unless you consider 'woman doctor' or 'women lawyer' a different job

3. Becoming a parent impacts salaries for all parents

Ha! Not at all. 

Men's pay goes up by 6% for each child born and women's decreases by 4%.

I'm sharing this because for many women, this time of year represents the weeks/months that we work for free compared to our male counterparts

Because of the pay gap.

Unless we get serious about making real change, 
This gap is expected to persist for another CENTURY

This is what bias looks like.

And this is why I want more women at the table,
Making these changes from the top.

But for today, I just want to help women make more money!

Repost to spread the word and help more women get that next raise. ✌️💜 

And follow me Katy McFee for more posts on women in leadership.

I've only had 1 woman boss - for 5 months of my 18-year corporate career, 

I worked at 6 different companies during that time...

Yall, this is crazy! 

The one woman boss I did have was awesome
She was super smart and inspiring.

And... her boss (the Director) was also a badass woman leader...
This short time had a major impact on what I believed I could achieve.

It allowed me to see myself as a powerful woman leader. 
Because I saw other women doing it. 

It planted the seed...

Just a few months later, the company changed the reporting structure, 
I had to report back into the Canadian team,
Where my manager and his boss were both men.

Maybe you're thinking... does the gender of who you report to even matter?

Absolutely, it does!

By the time I was a director, trying to become a VP for the first time, 
I had NO female mentors or role models to look up to...
Or to reach out to for advice and guidance.

I had one amazing mentor who was a man,
And I'm truly grateful for him,

But advice from a 6'3" alpha male with a stay-at-home wife isn't always applicable!
I was the only woman at the table and a single mom...
I was in a different boat.

When I realized this number - 5 months - it really hit me...

This is why I'm so passionate about having more women executives,

And why I'm so passionate about helping other women break through to executive leadership.

I want to be the role model I never had for others,
I want to take you by the hand and show you the ropes,
And then I want you to do it for other women. 

That's my 'why' ✌️💜 

PS. If you're looking for a woman to help you get there, DM me and let's chat.

Women executives are at a disadvantage.

Simply by being the only one at the table

Don't believe me?
Let me paint the picture.

First, meet Adam:
He works as a VP at a tech start-up, where he's made a bunch of buddies on the exec team
They often grab lunch or drinks after work, and golf once a week

During which, they talk about:
- Problems in the business
- Growth strategies 
- Challenges with their team etc....

*Adam's wife is home with the kids, so he can be late a few nights a week

Then there's Sarah:
She also works as a VP at a tech start-up, where she's the only woman exec
She's trying to build relationships, but the friendships among her male colleagues run deep

Not only that, although she's the breadwinner, she's still the default parent at home:
- She has to pick the kids up at daycare for 5pm
- Once she's home, she's getting dinner on the table and lunches packed
- She feels as though it doesn't stop until she collapses into bed

*She has no one to talk to about her job - her friends are all teachers and stay-at-home moms, and her husband doesn't want to talk about work all the time. 

Do we see the disadvantage here?

The networks that men organically build, 
Just by being surrounded by others like them

And believe me, I'm not blaming anyone here,
But I think this needs to change

Which is why I'm launching the Women's Executive Mastermind

It will be a small, curated group of women at the VP level and up
And it will be a space to solve challenges, talk shop, level up and talk about the things you can't talk about anywhere else

In a safe and confidential environment

If this sounds like what you've been craving, DM me "EXEC MASTERMIND" and I'll get in touch to share more.

Let's level the playing field ✌️💜

Women work harder than men to become executives

Like it or not, that's just the truth.

I've seen this anecdotally, and the data supports it

Let me explain:

The leadership gap starts at the very first promotion to manager
And at every level, women will have a harder time earning that promotion.

As a result, the women who actually do become senior leaders
Tend to be hyper-achieving, highly accomplished and very talented

We've set the bar so high for women
That the ones who clear it can often run circles around their male counterparts

And yet... one of biggest challenges senior women share with me is a lack of confidence!
An unrelenting feeling of imposter syndrome

So the goal of this post is to talk to those women:

If you're a women in (senior) leadership,
And you aren't sure you belong,
Let me be the one to tell you:

Girl, you freaking belong.

Believe me. 

You probably belong more than some of your male counterparts,

And it's time to start owning the seat at the table you worked so hard to get.

Ladies, remember this:

They've set the bar crazy high for you
You cleared that bar and got a seat at the table
You belong there just as much as anyone else ✌️💜

PS. If you want a seat at the table and haven't found the right mentor to help you get there, send me a DM. Let's make 2026 your year. 

Follow me Katy McFee for more posts on women in leadership

I barely lasted 2 years at my ‘dream’ job

I wanted this job REALLY badly

It was a big goal to work at this company and in the space

And then bailed 2 years in. Why?

1. My Manager
2. The resulting culture

I was making great money, selling a groundbreaking technology that I was hugely passionate about to the coolest customers ever...

One of my customers was the scientific advisor for Jurassic freaking Park!!

My technical counterpart was amazing - we became great friends.

The only problem? My Manager...

He played toxic mind games
I felt unsupported and unappreciated
I didn't feel as though he cared about my success

The politics on the team were distracting and stressful.

I was miserable.

So, after trying to 'stick it out' for a while, I jumped ship

This is your friendly reminder that people really do quit bad managers, even when everything else is great. ✌️💜

Give this a repost to share this reminder!

Making money used to be my #1 goal

And I do not apologize for this! 
(Or regret it)

Growing up, I saw the same trend over and over:

Women relying on their husbands financially, 
And either a) having no power in the relationship 
Or b) getting screwed if things didn’t work out.

I remember saying:
"I will never rely on a man for money. 
I will always be self-sufficient"

And in the years that followed, I made sure I was.

I worked my a$$ off for many years to make it happen.

And I received my fair share of judgement when my kids were little 
Because I worked a lot and traveled for business

Are there things that I regret missing?
Yeah, of course.

But on the flip side:
- When I got divorced I was able to buy my ex out of the house so the kids didn't have to move
- When I had to leave an abusive relationship, I had the power to walk out because I was not financially dependent
- When my eldest needed additional resources, I could send them to a Montessori, where they are truly thriving

These things all require money.

With all of this behind me, making money is no longer my top priority, 
And for that I'm grateful

But my ambition served its purpose, and I wouldn't change it.

It gave me choice and security, for myself and my kids.

So here’s your gentle reminder:

1. Ladies, it’s ok to care about money.

We often feel guilty about wanting to make money.
But this gives us choice and freedom, and we're allowed to want this. 

2. Think twice before judging someone's priorities.
We all have our own stories and situations that shape our motivations ✌️💜

Corporate hustle culture is dead.

Or quickly dying... And I'm here for it!

It's easy to see what's killing it:

- Burnout following a global pandemic while homeschooling kids
- 10s of thousands of people... or is it now hundreds of thousands... laid off from companies they loved and believed in
- The realization that we're no longer willing to put up with long commutes or 10hr days at the office for no reason

There has been a shift, and things are not going back.

More people than ever are
- insisting on flexibility at work
- building their personal brands online
- unapologetically creating a side hustle
- turning their side hustle into their full-time gig
- prioritizing time with their kids over spending 12hr days in the office

And I think it's amazing!

If you want to build a career you love, you still need to work hard

But there's more space for boundaries and creating your own path than ever before

I see more women leaders than ever, who are showing up in the boardroom and also unapologetically blocking off their calendars at 3:30pm to do bus pick-up

We've seen the light, and we can't unsee it

Who's with me? ✌️💜

We tell girls they can do anything they want

The truth is, this just isn't enough...

If we aren't giving boys this message
We'll never see real change

The reality in today's society is this:

Men hold the power. So...

THEY need to believe women are equal
THEY need to be ready to promote more women
THEY need to take on more domestic work at home

If we want to see real change, we need both men and women on board.

My partner does most of the meal prep/ dinners during the week,

He does more than half of bedtimes with our 5-year-old,
He gets him dressed and makes his lunch every day,
He does school drop-off and pick-up. 

He gets breakfast ready while I'm working out.

We are modelling non-traditional gender roles in our home
And it's 100% intentional.

I want my boys to be those men.

We need to model the behaviours and have the conversations with our boys
In addition to inspiring our girls to take on whatever they want in life

Relying on telling girls they can do anything they want 
Is making them solely responsible for fixing the gender gap

And frankly, it's not enough to make real change. 

This is the time to shape the next generation
Who's with me? ✌️💜

Follow me Katy McFee for more posts on women in leadership

I *thought* I was super healthy!!

But recently, I discovered there was more to my story under the surface...

For context: 

I'm 46, vegan and have been invested in health my entire life
I exercise regularly, eat (mostly) whole foods and meditate daily

I wear a Whoop
I almost never drink alcohol

Y'all.. I do all the things!

I thought that I was about as healthy as they come

Not long ago, I was offered the opportunity to try out NiaHealth

This is a proactive health platform that tests 150+ biomarkers and provides an assessment to help you live a longer, healthier life.

Of course, I jumped at the chance - I love this stuff!

They came to my house, drew some blood and got a urine sample

And just a few days later, I got the results that shocked this overachiever:

Suboptimal (ie. elevated) LDL and non-HDL cholesterol levels!

WTF?!?!

Now, the great thing about their test is that they also test for the specific subfactors 
That we know matter most for cardiovascular risk:  LP(a) and ApoB 

In my case, both of these are optimal, which is great

So I know there's no emergency,
But it's still something I should focus on lowering to decrease my risk.

(*And luckily they provide next steps for how to do that)

The other thing I discovered is that my blood pressure is reeeeaaally low
Low enough that I should also keep an eye on that...

Here's the lesson: Just because you're healthier than "most", 
Just because you look healthy on the outside,

Doesn't mean you're 100% healthy

These tests are available to the general public and honestly, if you can swing it, you should invest in this

Yes, you have to pay for them
But the information they give you can have a huge impact

It certainly has for me....✌️💜

Most women are afraid to share their wins

And it holds them back. Here's why:

First, I'll say that the reasons women don't advocate for themselves are 100% valid:

1. You've been conditioned your whole lives to be good, polite, and work hard with your head down

Those beliefs and behaviours are deeply ingrained.

2. You face real bias in the workplace, and speaking up can get you labelled as 'difficult' or 'b!tchy'

We know this, so we avoid it. 

3. No one has ever taught you how to do this in a way that feels good

Without a guide or a process, you're left to handle these awkward conversations on your own... 

These things are all true
And they can be great excuses

But I promise you, they aren't serving you
And they definitely aren't helping you land that promotion

If you aren't creating regular visibility into the great things you're doing

You will never get the recognition you deserve

Working hard with your head down simply does not work

This is a topic I feel passionately about

Because there's nothing I hate more than seeing a smart, ambitious woman 

Whose career is stalled because she isn't sharing her wins and goals.

I've discovered that with the right process and frameworks

It's actually really easy to create visibility into the great things you're doing,

And your career goals.

I've put all of this together into my workshop:
From Invisible to Influential: My 4 Step Recognition Framework

Spend 90 minutes with me
And leave with actual tools you can start using right away to get the recognition you deserve and need. 

We'll workshop 5 exercises so you know:

- What the right things to focus on are
- How to create weekly visibility in a way that's effective
- How to ensure you're talking about career goals every month
- Who you need to focus on outside of your manager
- How to ensure these stakeholders see your value

I ran this workshop 2 weeks ago, and the feedback was so strong that I've decided to do it one more time this year and it's happening tomorrow!

I can help you in 3 ways:

📌 1. Elite Performance Coaching fusing business strategy with longevity, neuroscience, nutrition, plant medicine, and spirituality. Boost productivity, defy burnout, unlock superhuman potential.

📌 2. Branding for industries of the future. Deliver end-to-end solutions, online courses, compelling narratives, design, newsletters, landing pages, web development, ecom, marketing, social strategy, and content creation for standout growth.

📌 3. Strategic Alliances. Collaborate with top firms for funding, capital raising, and growth acceleration, unlocking opportunities for visionary leaders.

👇🏼

Most coaches give you strategy and disappear.

"Go build your funnel."
"Go set up your AI workflows."
"Go figure out your tech stack."

Then you're alone, drowning in Zapier tutorials at midnight while your nervous system crashes.

I don't do that.

I'm a holistic nutritionist who architects tech stacks. A biohacker who implements AI automations. A flow coach who codes custom solutions from scratch.

While other coaches hand you a Notion doc and peace out, I'm in the trenches with you:

→ Optimizing your nervous system so you stop self-sabotaging

→ Building your landing pages, email sequences, and sales funnels

→ Setting up your AI workflows and automation infrastructure

→ Connecting you to my network of 35K+ elite performers

15 years biohacking + self-taught coder at 9 = I don't just strategize your empire. I build it with you.

In 2020, my health crashed after a head-on collision and launching two startups during the pandemic. Chronic pain, digestive issues, blindness in one eye from concussion for 2+ years. Modern medicine failed me.

A decade of biohacking saved me: spirituality, food as medicine, biofeedback, light therapy, grounding, trauma therapy, identity shift. I healed myself holistically because I had the tools.

Now I give YOU those tools, PLUS the tech execution most coaches can't touch.

I left my 9-5 because I hated asking permission to take vacations.

I've built multiple brands from zero while travelling the world, climbing the Alps on my road bike. My life is unconventional with a no-BS approach.

This is for entrepreneurs who want execution, not excuses. Access, not just advice.

You don't build brands or optimize your body just to survive the grind. You do it to thrive, unapologetic, unstoppable, with energy to lead your empire and live fearlessly.

Growth doesn't happen in the comfort zone. I'll shatter your paradigm.

📌 DM "FULLSTACK" if you're ready to invest with a coach who actually builds alongside you.

One thing that drives me crazy 👉🏼 people blaming the sun for all their problems. 

Do you notice that people never forget to apply sunscreen but they neglect exercise, nutrition, relationships, and sleep?!

The sun isn’t killing you— it’s the rest of your BAD HABITS = compounding inflammation & toxins = weakened immune system = cancer, diseases, etc.

Eg. Why do some people get skin cancer and others don’t? How come some get lung cancer while there are people who smoke a pack a day + drink while living to be Centurians? 

We’re all creatures of Mother Earth, and our bodies must align with the natural rhythm of the sunrise and sunset (circadian rhythm).

The reason we are sick is that everyone’s stuck inside concrete jungles all day, suffocating in their own stale air and toxic scents, products, and perfumes while staring at blue screens all day and night.

3 things you can do today to level up your circadian health:


—-—-
🚫 Low energy, always irritated, lack of emotional control, cravings, brain fog?

✅ Light directly affects our mood + health. Start your day by viewing sunlight right when you wake up (even when it's cloudy and NOT through a window). Spend at least 20 minutes outside to get sun on your skin and eyes to signal to your brain that it's time to reset the clock.

😎 Sunlight triggers a neural circuit that controls the timing of the hormones, cortisol + melatonin, key components in your sleep/wake cycle.


—-—-
🚫 You’re on your phone in bed, but blue light suppresses melatonin production and delays sleep onset, disrupting your circadian rhythm.

✅ Wear 99.9% blue light blockers at night time. To take it to the next level, turn off all overhead lights and only light your house with lights coming from below.


—-—-
🚫 Stressed or anxious?

✅ Utilize “optic flow”, go for a walk, and incorporate light movement— outside if possible because Nature Therapy is the real deal. Dr. Huberman says, "The actual movement of objects past us as we walk quiets some of the circuits responsible for stress.

—-—-
STOP BLAMING THE SUN 👉🏼  audit the rest of your BAD habits instead. 🚫

How I Healed From Chronic Pain & Trauma 👉🏼 In the fall of 2020, my body shut down from a car accident, chronic stress, trauma from leaving a toxic relationship, burnout from starting a couple of online businesses at the same time, and COVID. 

On the outside, the more stressed I was, the harder I worked, but mentally, I was hanging by a thread.

I decided to hold myself accountable …and *DECIDED* I would heal myself.

It was the pandemic, the world was shut down, and treatment was hard to obtain.

I’ve been biohacking for over a decade, so I knew a thing or two about healing my body.

✅ Here’s what I did:

→ Talked to a therapist regularly.

→ Walked the walk (not just talk the talk).

→ Ran toward the feelings I didn’t want to feel.

→ Didn’t drag a partner to project my traumas onto.

→ Journaled and meditation became a regular practice.

→ Removed all distractions. Did it myself so I didn’t become codependent.

→ Maintained an active social life for my sanity but was strict with alcohol and vices.

→ When people triggered me, I got curious and ran towards it rather than get mad or hold grudges.

→ Exercised and ate nutritious foods *every day*. My routine grounds me, so I never sacrifice it.

→ Channelled all my focus into my businesses and health.

🧠 Because of that, I learned how to:

→ Detach from outcomes.
→ Be okay with being alone.
→ Switch emotional states on the fly.
→ Empowered my resilience even more.
→ Everything I want is literally falling into my lap.

Life feels effortless when you live in alignment with your vision— in flow.

📌 Hard Truths You Need To Hear: 

→ Stop talking and start doing.
→ No one is coming to save you.
→ You’re not the only one suffering.
→ You’re probably too easy on yourself.
→ If you’re having a hard time, it’s your fault.
→ Why aren’t you taking accountability to build up your mental resilience?

These were things I reminded myself of every single day.

——
📸: This selfie is significant because it was the day it all started. I was just about to go out for happy hours with a GF, and as I was taking this picture, I heard a POP in my gut. At that time, my life was crazy (good and bad), and my brain was adjusting to a huge change. I suddenly felt bloated. That bloating didn't go away for almost two years. You may not see it, but I felt it.

I rarely talk about my day job on LinkedIn because I keep my personal brand centred around health.

Wellness, biohacking, and longevity are my passions.

Can you tell? 😌

I’ve NEVER strayed from my passions, no matter how many 6-figure contracts I turned down when the company didn’t align with my values.

I’ve been running a digital agency since I was 22, launching e-commerce brands.  I work with the best of the best. I code + design + write + market + build + sell— and I over-deliver because I CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS MYSELF, so I know how to hire. 

❤️ That's why no matter how hard life gets, I go to bed EVERY night excited to wake up to slay the next day…

I’m doing what I love. 

When you love life, it loves you right back.

📌 Even when I was:

→ suffering from despairing loneliness
→ living in chronic pain from a car accident
→ lost absolute control of my health in 2020
→ couldn’t keep up with my friends on my road bike
→ went from super athlete to not being able to move
→ couldn’t digest food when my gut shut down from chronic stress
→ left a toxic relationship, walked away with nothing (my ex and I worked together for years)

📌 Success is subjective. I may not seem successful to you because I’m 38 and:

→ No kids.
→ Not married.
→ ZERO desire to live a conventional life.
→ ZERO desire to be in a conventional relationship.
→ My life experiences are things that can never be talked about on LI. 😉

📌 Since I left my 9-5 in 2016, I designed a life I don’t need a vacation from:

→ Travel whenever I want.
→ Never had to interview for a job since 2007.
→ Travel solo riding my bike around the world.
→ I own a lovely condo in downtown Vancouver whenever I need to reset with a routine.
→ I spend 3-6 months out of a year traveling “homeless” and in monk mode.

This is not a brag. I want to show you what's possible. 🫶🏻

📌 How?

✅ FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.
✅ CHASE YOUR PASSIONS.
✅ Never chase instant gratification.
✅ Never fall out of alignment with your values.
✅ Trust YOURSELF that you’ll make anything happen.
✅ To be human is to suffer. Learn to enjoy the suffer. 
✅ The journey is all you have.

Sorry darling, no one is coming to save you.

But you have the power to save yourself and create the reality you desire.

It may not happen tomorrow, but that's why you must start now. 

Everything little thing you do today that gets you closer to your vision will compound. 

Trust me.
Trust the process.

Most importantly, surround yourself with people who are already doing it. 

You are the average of your environment.
NEVER forget that.

Longevity isn't about living to 120.

It's about not burning out by 40.

Most high-performers I work with are doing everything "right":
→ Optimizing sleep
→ Tracking macros
→ Cold plunging at 5am

But their nervous system is still stuck in survival mode.

Here's what I've learned after 15 years of biohacking and a decade of entrepreneurial followed by severe burn out:

You can't supplement your way out of dysregulation.

The same biology that makes you magnetic in business is the same biology that determines how you age.

Capacity isn't built in your calendar.

It's built in your cells.

The women I work with aren't interested in living longer just to work harder.

They want to scale without burning out.
Lead without self-sabotage.
Build legacy without sacrificing their health.

That's not a longevity protocol.
That's nervous system capacity.

When you stop trying to outwork your biology and start upgrading it instead?

That's when longevity becomes inevitable.

💎 If this resonates, DM me "CAPACITY" and I'll send you something that will shift how you see your business ceiling forever.

You're not afraid of success. You're afraid your nervous system will treat it like a threat.

And it will.

Because right now? Your body's running calculations you're not even conscious of:

❌ "If I land 10 more clients, that's 10 more people who could reject me."

❌ "If I scale to 7 figures, that's 7 figures worth of visibility… and judgment."

❌ "If I become who I say I want to be... will I still be safe?"

So your subconscious does what it's designed to do.

It caps you.

→ The launch you delay until "the timing's better"

→ The visibility you avoid because "you're not ready yet"

→ The revenue ceiling you hit every single year

This isn't mindset work.

This is your body's threat detection system doing exactly what it's supposed to do: protecting you from what it perceives as danger.

The leaders scaling without the ceiling?

✅ They didn't just get better strategies.

✅ They became biologically capable of holding more.

✅ They trained their nervous system to code wealth as safety.

✅ They built bodies that can carry empires without collapsing.

✅ They made success feel inevitable instead of threatening.

Your next level doesn't require you to override your body's wisdom.

It requires you to upgrade your biology.

When you're done white-knuckling your way to goals that terrify you, this is where capacity becomes your competitive edge.

📌 DM "CAPACITY" if your body just said yes.

The world is about to change faster than most people are prepared for.

AI isn't just coming for jobs.

It's coming for everyone who hasn't optimized the one thing machines can't replicate: THEIR BIOLOGY.

In the next 3-5 years, you'll either be competing with AI or you'll have future-proofed your body and brain to work alongside it.

The difference?

✓ Hold intensity without breaking.
✓ Your capacity to think faster.
✓ Process more information.
✓ Recover quicker.

This is why my work in longevity isn't just about living longer.

It's about staying competitive in a world that's accelerating beyond what most nervous systems can handle.

Most executives are upgrading their tech stack while their bodies and brains are running on outdated operating systems.

ⓧ Exhausted by 2pm.
ⓧ Brain fog by Wednesday.
ⓧ Burnt out every quarter.

And they think the solution is better productivity tools.

It's not.
It's biological optimization.

I help future-proof my clients' bodies and brains so they don't just survive the next decade of change.

They dominate it.

Because when AI can do what you do in seconds, your only competitive advantage is the quality of your nervous system, your mitochondrial health, your cognitive capacity.

The leaders who thrive in the AI era won't be the ones with the best prompts.

They'll be the ones who upgraded their biology to keep pace with exponential change

Your brain is either your greatest asset or your biggest bottleneck.

Most people won't realize which one until it's too late.

Longevity Strategist for Elite Performers 🏆 I optimize the biology behind 7-figure empires | Unconventional Insights To Get Healthy + Wealthy 👑 | Ecom Entrepreneur, Investor, Agency Owner Coach | 15+yr Biohacker

I'm a longevity strategist who eats rotisserie chicken in front of my laptop. Microplastics and all.

*read until the end for the ultimate LONGEVITY secret.

I’ve been biohacking for 15+ years with excellent biomarkers and V02 max in the 60s. I drink scotch. I dance. I demolish Chinese fruit cake and white rice like it's my job (rice, rice baby 🍚).

Here's why I'm not worried:

→ Because longevity isn't about perfecting one thing. It's about not letting everything else kill you first.

Sleep, exercise, nutrition?
Those matter.

But so does community.
Purpose.
Passion.
Peace.

INNER-FUCKING-PEACE, babes. IYKYK.

Don’t excuse my French. 🧘🏻‍♀️

📌🔥⚠️ You can eat organic kale three times a day and still die from a nervous system that never learned safety.

I spent years resetting mine.
Hard, painful work.

But now my body doesn't treat life like a threat.

I’m an endurance cyclist, hunting for the steepest roads to climb, riding hundreds of miles per day is normal.

Lift heavy. 
Red light. Sauna. PEMF mat. 
Live by the water and ground barefoot in it daily.
The works.

Never counted a calorie in my life.

In a relationship with incredible communication and connection. Great sex. Zero resentment (we would’ve not attracted each other if we both didn't do the DEEP INNER WORK— that everyone avoids).

Grew up poor but in a stable environment. Loved. Supported. Something I’m grateful for daily.

I don't carry chronic stress because I DESIGNED MY LIFE not to generate it.

That's the longevity game.

❌ THIS is why I don't take conventional health (or life) advice… It’s all targeted for the AVERAGE and that ain’t my algorithm.

Hey, I was average once.
But I optimized my life so I'm no longer average.
I'm above average. 🤓

Took a decade of hard work— therapy, facing my childhood traumas, sitting still in extremely uncomfortable emotions, cutting out ‘friends’, hero dose plant medicine journeys… ALL the works. And a lot of consistency… and the work is for a lifetime (it never ends).

We all started somewhere.

Now, if you're still a prisoner of the grind:

Stuck in a toxic job, a draining relationship, or a body that feels unsafe no matter what supplements you take, getting pissed off at strangers online —

START THERE.

💙 Work on your INNERPEACE and creating safety for your nervous system.

Fuck everything else (for now)…. but you should probably avoid the store-bought rotisserie chicken until then!

📌 P.S. I designed a program for exactly this.

Not longevity through obsession.
Longevity through design.

To build the kind of inner peace that makes you unbothered AF.

To create a magnetic life where wealth, opportunities, abundance, and success flow to you, effortlessly.

Not because you hustled harder. 

Because you became indestructible from the inside out.

If you're done surviving success and ready to design for it, DM me CAPACITY. I’ve got your back.

Your cortisol spikes are costing you a Chanel bag.

Let me break down the math nobody's teaching you:

Every time your body goes into stress mode, you're not just "tired".  You're bleeding revenue.

❌ Foggy decision on a deal = -$8K (Classic Flap)

❌ Avoided pitch because you "didn't feel ready" = -$15K (Boy Bag + wallet)

❌ Self-sabotaged launch = -$25K (full season's worth)

❌ Stayed small for another year = -$100K+ (the entire boutique)

Meanwhile, the woman with stable energy and regulated habits?

✅ She closed the deal with clarity.
✅ She pitched without second-guessing.
✅ She launched on time.
✅ She scaled past you.

Same opportunities.
Different biology.
Different bank account.

THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH YOU DON’T WANNA HEAR:

Your body's STATE determines your capacity to EARN.

Chronic fatigue?
↳ You're leaving money on the table daily.

Hormone crashes at 3 PM?
↳ That's your highest-earning hours… gone.

Poor sleep?
↳ Your decision-making is costing you six figures.

You didn't build a seven-figure strategy to run it on a burnt-out nervous system.

My framework that changes this:

🔥 Ground your biology first: regulate cortisol, stabilize energy
🔥 Calibrate your capacity: build resilience to hold bigger goals
🔥 Activate magnetic positioning: attract opportunities effortlessly
🔥 Scale sustainably: without the crash

Because that Chanel budget?
It already exists.

You're just spending it on surviving success instead of embodying it.

💾 Bookmark this if you're done funding depletion.

When you're ready to redirect that budget → DM me "CAPACITY" and I'll send you the framework I use with my private 1:1 clients that recodes biology for economic expansion.

You're scrolling from a job that funds the vacation. I'm working from the vacation. We are not the same.

2013. 
↳ 9-5.
↳ Cubicle. 
↳ Fluorescent lights.

Staring out the window on the most beautiful day of summer → watching people enjoy the sunshine while I waited for permission to exist.

That's the day I decided:
𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.

↳ Not for vacation days.
↳ Not for freedom.
↳ Not for the audacity to work with an ocean view.

That moment of absolute clarity changed everything.
Because clarity isn't just intention.

It's activation.

I didn't "manifest" this.
I got clear AF.

Then I got RUTHLESS.

Absolute clarity isn't woo-woo.
It's your brain's search engine.

When you know EXACTLY what you want, your brain becomes a heat-seeking missile.

Every decision, every opportunity, every "no" gets filtered through that singular vision (it’s called your reticular activating system if you want to get science-y).

You stop negotiating with yourself.
You stop waiting for the right time.
You start building.

10 years later, this isn't a flex.

This is TuesYay.

Remote work. Ocean views. Gym sessions between calls. Fuck yes. (don’t excuse my French!).

Not because I got lucky.
Because I REFUSED to live under anyone else's terms.

The life you want isn't on the other side of permission.

It's on the other side of clarity.

And the discipline to build accordingly.

This is why I built The Magnetic Method; the exact framework I've guided hundreds of private clients to scale from 6-7 figures.

We rebuild your biology, identity, and business infrastructure simultaneously. 

📌 Enroll here: https://lnkd.in/gitMKA2P

The most expensive thing I own is a nervous system that can receive.

Not the Chanel.
Not the Porsche.
Not the business that hit 7 figures.

A body that doesn't reject success when it arrives.

Most high performers spend years optimizing strategy:
→ Better funnels
→ Smarter systems
→ Tighter operations

But the moment momentum builds?
Their biology says no.

Migraines before launches.
Anxiety when things get easy.
Self-sabotage dressed as "pivoting."

You don't have a strategy problem.
You have a capacity problem.

And capacity isn't built in your calendar.
It's built in your cells.

The Framework:

✅ Recognition: Your nervous system was coded for survival, not success. Every win triggers threat detection if your biology hasn't been recalibrated.

✅ Recoding: You don't need more willpower. You need somatic reprogramming—teaching your body that safety and expansion can coexist.

✅ Receiving: True wealth isn't what you earn. It's what you can metabolize without collapsing, numbing, or running.

This is the work nobody wants to do.

It's not sexy.
It's not a 90-day sprint.
It's a full year of cellular identity work.

But it's the difference between building an empire…
And burning out before you ever enjoy it.

If this landed → you're already further along than most. Save this. You'll need it when the next ceiling hits.

I completely eliminated cravings and late-night snacking by doing this ONE thing. 👀

WATCH TILL THE END. 

53g Protein 
23g Fat
4.3g Carbs

📌 📌 📌  Eat a protein-rich breakfast with fiber, healthy fats— and low carb (unless exercising). 

✅ Balances hormones
✅ Stabilizes blood sugar 
✅ Prevents snacking + craving
✅ Eliminate brain fog, mood swings, anxiety
✅ You'll be a kinder, smarter, and healthier person

Examples:
🥢 sablefish + veggie + tofu stirfry
🥢 steak & eggs
🥢 ground beef bowl
🥢 chicken + kimchi
🥢 tuna or sardines + avo
🥢 NORMALIZE EATING VEGGIES FOR BREAKFAST. 🙏🏼

Not used to it?

CREATE YOUR NORMAL by consistently honing these #healthyhabits until it's hardwired into your brain so it's on autopilot like brushing your teeth. 🧠 

You're unable to eat protein or meat for breakfast because you're used to eating crap or nothing at all. 🍩

HEALTHY LIVING IS A CONSCIOUS CHOICE.

---------

Protein is:
🔥 satiating— keeps you full
🔥 contain amino acids (building blocks of your body)
🔥 slow down the digestion + absorption of glucose from your meal (prevents spikes + crashes)

---------

⚒️ BEST PRACTICES:

🚫 NEVER eat a high-carb, sugary breakfast on it's own. If you DO want a croissant or a donut (cuz, #onelifetolive), have it after protein and fiber. Being obsessed with food science, it still blows my mind, how pastries normalize for breakfast serve vegetables.

🚫  Don't have coffee on an empty stomach (acid reflex, cortisol release, insulin levels).

Nutrition tip: Eat your carbs at night (unless exercising) at least 3 hours before bed because it may help you sleep.

10 years ago, I had 47 unfinished courses in my inbox.

I thought I was broken.

Turns out… I was just broke.

Not financially.
Energetically.

I'd grown up poor.
Scarcity was my operating system.

I'd just quit my corporate job to build a business.

But my nervous system was still running EMPLOYEE CODE.

Every time I tried to execute like a CEO?
My body shut me down.

Not because I didn't know what to do.
But because I didn't have the capacity to hold it.

You can't think your way out of a biology problem.

Your nervous system is the ceiling.

And no amount of strategy will fix what your body won't let you become.

How to start building capacity right now:

📌 1. Stop forcing execution when you're dysregulated.

Your body can't tell the difference between a deadline and a predator. If you're already in fight-or-flight, pushing harder = deeper depletion.

→ Before you "push through," take 60 seconds to regulate.
↳ Box breathing. 
↳ Cold water on your wrists. 
↳ A 2-minute walk.

Regulation first. Execution second.

📌 2. Track your capacity, not your output.

Stop measuring success by how much you checked off the list.

Start asking: *How much energy do I have left at the end of the day?*

If you're collapsing every night, you're not building. You're borrowing.

→ Your goal isn't to do more.

It's to do what you do *without depleting yourself.*

📌 3. Build in nervous system recovery like you build in client calls.

You wouldn't skip a sales meeting.

Don't skip the thing that makes the sales meeting possible.

→ Block 15 minutes midday for regulation.
↳ No email. 
↳ No strategy. 
↳ Just recalibration.

Your nervous system isn't a luxury.
It's the infrastructure your entire business runs on.

The moment I stopped collecting courses and started building capacity?

Everything I couldn't finish before became inevitable.

That's why I built The Magnetic Method™, a 90-day intensive to build the nervous system capacity your business actually requires.

I got over it.
And I can show you how.

No fluff. 
Just biology. 

DM “CAPACITY” and I will send you the deets.

Kate

👉🏼 Increase your productivity by 500% by taking advantage of your biology’s oscillating patterns:

LEARN TO DROP INTO *90min FLOW BLOCKS*

Our bodies have a quantifiable natural work/rest cycle called the ‘ultradian cycle’, which hypothesizes that our alertness (focus) lasts approximately 90 minutes before our body begins to crave a break—that should be at least 20 minutes to recharge. 

Ultradian rhythms are oscillating biological patterns hardwired into our DNA, affecting all aspects of our physical, mental, and emotional health. 

I set up my desk, a timer for 90 minutes, and I try not to eliminate all distractions—including bathroom breaks, to avoid disrupting a flow state.

💡 Tips to drop into a deep 90min flow block:

➡️ Create a ritual to drop into DEEP WORK → by “anchoring habits.” Eg. My pre-game routine for a block of deep work: make coffee, sit down, tidy desk, breathwork for a state change → and begin work.

➡️ Flow states are neurochemically taxing for your brain. Do max 3-4x per day (up to 4 if you’re a pro) but you MUST deploy ACTIVE RECOVERY. Check out my post on ACTIVE RECOVERY (most of us are doing it wrong). Link in comments.

Bryan Johnson just did what was unthinkable a decade ago:  5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms.

6 hours.
249 biomarkers measured.
Livestreamed to 800,000 people.

The CEO of Salesforce comparing him to Jacob's Ladder while Grimes provides the soundtrack.

Welcome to the new age, where consciousness expansion gets the same scientific rigor as biohacking protocols. 🧬

People used to take mushrooms in the woods, whispering about ego death to their 3 closest friends who were equally dissolved into the fabric of reality.

Now? We're having public conversations abt tools for transformation that existed for millennia but got shoved underground during prohibition.

Underneath the spectacle? A genuine scientific question: Can psilocybin impact longevity markers?

A July 2025 study found psilocin extended cellular lifespan by up to 57% in lab conditions. In aged mice, monthly doses increased survival rates from 50% to 80%.

Preclinical. 
Needs human trials. 
But fascinating.

What matters more than longevity?

What these tools do for paradigm shifts, limiting belief dissolution, and deep pattern interruption.

Done correctly, psilocybin can:

→ Break paradigms keeping you on autopilot
→ Shatter limiting beliefs running your operating system
→ Accelerate growth that'd take years of traditional approaches

The key? Integration.

The journey is just the beginning.

What you do with the insights afterward, how you integrate them into your work, relationships, and identity, is where transformation happens.

Most people skip this part. They have a profound experience, feel amazing for a week, then slide back.

The mushroom showed them the door. 
They chose not to walk through it.

Steve Jobs said taking LSD was among the most important experiences of his life. It showed him there was another side to the coin.

This is why executives go to Burning Man. Why Kotler wrote Stealing Fire about how Silicon Valley leaders use altered states to access peak performance.

The most innovative minds aren't just working harder.

They're working from an expanded state of consciousness most people never access.

Personal development and consciousness work aren't separate from building wealth and optimizing performance. It's the foundation.

You can't create real wealth, the kind that includes freedom, purpose, fulfillment, if you're stuck in patterns that keep you small.

Most people will read about the livestream, feel inspired for a minute, then return to their comfortable patterns.

That's fine. This ain't for everyone.

But if you've read this far, if something in you is resonating, if you've been curious about consciousness expansion as a tool for growth, maybe you're one of the people who are ready.

I know because I've been there. With the power of psilocybin, I've experienced what seemed impossible: disintegrating PTSD, breaking limiting beliefs, shattering the paradigms + patterns that held me back from leveling up in every area of my life... mind, body and soul.


IYKYK

Just a few friendly unsolicited reminders heading into the weekend:


📌 It's OK if not everybody agrees with everything you say.

If they do, you're probably pretty average (aka boring). 🤓

There are 8+ billion people in the world. It's not your job to make everyone like you. Protect your energy because you only have so much to give.



📌 if you are a creator, you’re going to have haters.

They're simply projecting their insecurities onto you because our brains' only job is to keep us alive and protect us from danger, including the danger of being exposed to negative feelings when we realize somebody has something we want that we don't have.

Look up: "projection" in psychology.

Remember that girl who tried to play victim and published that Andrew Huberman piece but instead made him even more famous?

Good or bad, ALL attention is good. Thank them for boosting you and spending that precious time they’ll never get back… on you!

You should be flattered because you triggered them— hopefully planting a seed. They may thank you later (like a bunch of my followers who hated me for my brash opinions in the beginning). 😉

A “trigger” is a sign in your life that something needs to change; otherwise, you won’t be triggered.

Chase them to level up quickly.



📌 If selfies and pineapples on pizza bug you…. you probably have deeper issues to look at.

Just saying.

Faces are scroll-stoppers because we’re unconsciously attracted to them (an evolutionary survival mechanism) … and smart peeps use them to their advantage in our attention economy.

Don't judge others who have the courage to put themselves out there…most likely because many people fear stepping into their own light. 

But we encourage you to do so. 

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. 🫶🏼

Life begins when you stop caring what others think of you.



📌 There’s more to life than LinkedIn.

Don't feel bad because some people are on social media 24/7. 

I know I’ll NEVER be able to keep up with my inbox, connection requests, and even reply to all comments. The paradox of influence.

Aim for progress, not perfection.

Not all of us have time, especially ladies with children and other priorities like living IRL. 

Don't get discouraged. 

If you do, use this mantra: “eliminate distractions and stay in your lane.”

Mantras can be used as “triggers” to help your brain switch emotional states or perform an action. Use them repetitively to program your brain.

HAPPY FRIYAY!

Remember to get outside. ☀️

PS. 👇🏼 irrelevant photos and views from my 🚴🏻‍♀️ rides to go along with this post because they stop the scroll, and we don’t give AF, remember? 😉

I’m 36, so that means I have 27 years of disease-free life if I lived like the average sedentary individual on a SAD (standard American diet) diet.

📌 The average lifespan on the USA is 79.
↳ how long you’ll be on earth

📌The average healthspan is 63.
↳ time we live free of major diseases

Where are you on this spectrum?

———
The 4 Horsemen are major diseases that restrict our health span, aka major drivers of morbidity as we age:

❌ cancer
❌ metabolic diseases → diabetes
❌ cardiovascular diseases → heart disease 
❌ neurodegenerative diseases → Alzheimers & dementia

But let’s not forget to mention: arthritis, cataracts, depression, lung disease, osteoporosis, and outcomes from COVID.

What’s the no. 1 risk factor of ALL these diseases?

👉🏼 AGING.

Young people: by 28, aging is the number one risk factor for disease.

This is why you must optimize longevity TODAY.

But guess what?

It's never too late to start.

But always too late to wait.

📌 PS. I spent 5 years and $30K+ figuring out what actually works.

Then I built the system I wish I'd had to scale in health and wealth without self-sabotage.

In 2026, there are two types of people: those who ARE the brand, and those who get replaced by AI.

One month left in 2025. Here's your game plan to become irreplaceable in 2026.

Your expertise? ChatGPT has it.
Your strategy? Everyone can Google it.
Your credentials? AI doesn't need them.

The only thing that can't be replicated?
YOU.

Most people will ignore this. That's why most people are replaceable.

Personal brand isn't marketing anymore. It's survival.

When AI can do what you do, WHO you are becomes the only competitive advantage.

Not your offer.
Not your funnel.
Not your content strategy.

You.

Here's why most personal branding fails

A dysregulated nervous system can't sustain visibility.

You can't stay consistent.
You can't handle being seen.
You won't have the grit to keep showing up.

Because the conventional system taught you to stay small, stay safe, and run on the hamster wheel— to keep you a prisoner to recessions and layoffs.

Personal branding requires what the system never prepared you for

Thinking for yourself.

Being visible consistently.
Holding conviction without external validation.

That's not a marketing problem.
That's an identity problem.

And identity shifts don't happen overnight.

This is going to require an enormous shift:

From performing to embodying.
From convincing to being inevitable.
From borrowed authority to biological capacity.

Most people aren't willing to do this work.
That's why most people stay invisible.

You need to start today.

Not because of some arbitrary deadline.
But because identity recoding takes time.

Every day you're not building your personal brand, you're not just missing visibility.

You're missing personal development.
You're missing capacity building.
You're missing the nervous system infrastructure that makes 2026 inevitable.

December isn't preparation.
It's the work itself.

Identity recoding doesn't happen overnight.

That's why waiting until January means you're already 30 days behind.

If you're done surviving your visibility and ready to build the capacity that makes showing up inevitable, here is the exact framework I’ve guided hundreds of 1:1 clients through. I wish I had this when I was building my brand a decade ago!

📌 Get it here: https://lnkd.in/gitMKA2P

You're one regulated nervous system away from quitting your 9-5.

Not one more certification.
Not one more side hustle weekend.
Not "when you have enough saved."

🔥 Your capacity to hold the unknown.
That's the only thing standing between you and your resignation letter.

Here's what's really keeping you in that job you've outgrown:

Your body associates safety with a paycheck.
↳ Benefits.
↳ Predictability.
↳ The illusion of security.

So every time you think about leaving?

Your nervous system panics.
↳ Heart races.
↳ Stomach drops.
↳ Mind spirals into worst-case scenarios.

That's not intuition telling you to stay.

That's your biology protecting you from expansion it hasn't been trained to hold.

It does not understand freedom (yet).

💸 The women who've left and thrived?

They didn't have more money saved.
They had more capacity.

✓ They trained their body to feel safe in uncertainty.

✓ They built their health so their energy could sustain the transition.

✓ They created magnetic personal brands that attracted opportunities *before* they even quit.

They didn't leave because they were ready.

They became ready by building the biology to hold it.

You already know what you want to do.
Your body just hasn't caught up yet.

This is how you close the gap.

DM “CAPACITY” and I’ll send you the deets.

xx,
Kate

PS. This is why I built The Magnetic Method™, the exact methodology I've used with my $20K+ private 1:1 clients for the last few years to quit and scale. 90 days intensive. → DM “CAPACITY” and I'll send you the program details.

(35) LinkedIn

Got the most delightful DM from a complete stranger on LinkedIn; some older gentleman who took time out of his day to inform me that my lifestyle "isn't real" and that higher education is the only legitimate path to making money.

Sir. 𝘚𝘪𝘳.

I don't know how to tell you this, but while you were typing that message, millions of people were buying digital products, enrolling in online courses, and building businesses from their phones.

This man genuinely doesn't understand that personal branding exists. Like, as a concept. As a multi-billion dollar industry.

He's out here acting like e-commerce is a rumour and the coaching industry is some sort of collective hallucination we're all having.

The coaching and self-help industry alone is worth over $10 billion.

BILLION. 

With a B.

That ain't Monopoly money, babe.

That's people paying for transformation, community, expertise, and access... delivered digitally, branded personally, sold through visibility.

And ecom?! 💸💸💸💸💸

But sure, let me go get another degree so I can be $100K in debt and still have to build a personal brand to stand out in my field anyway.

The funniest part?

We chatting on Linked. A platform that exists solely because of personal branding.

The irony is so thick you could cut it with a poorly-designed resume from 1987.

Look, I have nothing against higher education. I'm not anti-college. I LOVE school. I'm always learning. But I am anti-narrowminded. 

The future of work is already here.

It's just not evenly distributed... and apparently, it hasn't reached that inbox yet.

→ Your personal brand is your economy
→ Your visibility is your security
→ Your authority is your asset class

If you're still building a business like it's 1997, wondering why "just being good at what you do" isn't enough anymore... this is your wake-up call.

Personal branding isn't optional. It's infrastructure.

Especially when AI is upon us. The future is coming.. at breakneck speed. 🚀

Want to build a brand that converts scroll-stoppers into clients? DM me "MAGNETIC" or visit my website to learn how we architect authority that actually pays.

Love,
Kate

💣 You don’t wanna hear it, so I’m gonna say it: why you need to exercise vigorously 

Participants in a 2-year intense exercise intervention reversed the effects of ageing on the heart, making it look 20 years younger!

Studies show vigorous aerobic exercise for 5-6 hours a week can:

→ reverse heart ageing
→ lower blood pressure
→ have anti-cancer effects
→ 20% increase in V2 Max after 2 years

Vo2 max is one of the strongest predictors for longevity.

———

Guys, you know I’m that annoying girl who loves MONYAYS and won’t shut up about EXERCISE. 💪🏼 It solves every problem (from my anecdotal evidence 🤓).

→ anxiety
→ fat gain
→ loneliness
→ depression
→ hopelessness
→ limiting beliefs

I’m guilty about being obsessed with exercise. 

I began this lifestyle when I turned 20 and have NEVER fallen off the bandwagon or lost motivation to exercise since. 🤞🏼

I'm sure y'all were happy when we heard that Zone 2 cardio was the best to keep you younger.

But I’ve come across many studies showing vigorous exercise is required to increase Vo2 max.

I’m not surprised. 

Why?

I've been in endurance sports since I turned 20 in 2007. Most of my friends are 20-30+years older than me. 

Yet some look + act younger than people MY age! 

I think the reason is vigorous exercise— especially endurance sports such as cycling and climbing mountains OUTDOORS.

The rolling hills that we ride are Mother Nature’s way of HIIT. Ups, down, up down.

On top of that, we killed two birds with one stone because we exercise outdoors.

As we all know, nature therapy is the real deal.

You can't deny it.

———

Studies show intense exercise at 80% max heart rate for 30-40 minutes or HIIT can significantly increase BDNF.

Here’s what intense exercise can do:

→ Intense exercise at 75-80% max heart rate for 20-30 minutes, along with the Norwegian 4x4 protocol once a week, can reverse heart age by 20 years.

→ Intense exercise at 80% max heart rate for 30-40min or HIIT can significantly increase BDNF (aka fertilizer for your brain).

→ Has anti-cancer effects by activating the immune system and killing circulating tumor cells through the mechanical force of blood flow.

→ Benefits of physical activity may be even stronger for cancer patients, with a 48% reduced risk of dying from any cause for breast cancer and a 42% reduced risk for colar rectal cancer.

→ While aerobic exercise at 50-70% max heart rate for 150 minutes a week lowers cancer risk

→ Lactate, produced during exercise, acts as a signalling molecule that communicates with the brain and increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotropic factor), aka fertilizer for your brain. Improves learning, memory, and neurotransmitter levels.
