Five Bits and pieces

Somehow the first month of 2024 is almost over! I've been wildly and joyfully busy in all areas of my life!  It took a little bit to get a routine back in place with what felt like too many snow and ice days keeping our kids home from school, but this week, FINALLY, I should be able to get five straight work days!

I thought it would be fun to share five topics with you all to connect on a more personal level.  Let me know what you think! 

1. One Win: I’ve been stepping back from social media and working to connect more on my website, in person, my email list and blog. I have clients all over the country, but I had someone reach out to me from the farthest state yet….Alaska! They live in a small village that is only accessible by plane to boot. Amazing! Divorce knows no boundaries. It will definitely be an interesting experience taking into consideration the remoteness of their location. 

2.  A quote I'm pondering that I think aligns with the moment that it all 'clicks' for my clients: 

I'm right there with them every step of the way, but they have to be the ones to make the decision to divorce.  Often my clarification of the process helps with that part but I still cannot tell them what to do. 

3.  What I'm reading: Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman.  I'm about 4/5 of the way through and it reads like a novel and history book in one. Sometimes biographies can be bland but this writer does a marvelous job of keeping the reader intrigued. 

4.  One personal note: My husband and I started a podcast!  I have always been fascinated with religion, history and sociology.  We are visiting a different house of worship every week and then blogging and podcasting about it.  This isn't a debate about religion or an attempt to sway or convert. It's a personal exploration of faith across all world religions.  If you find that sort of thing interesting I hope you'll check it out! 

5. One review from a client: "What a lifeline!! Katie helped me through the intense rollercoaster of one of the most complicated divorce processes ever. She has an incredible gift of staying relational and calm AND is able to be focused and factual. This is a rare find in a human! Her ability to help me stay focused on next steps despite the chaotic events of the divorce kept me grounded. She helped me fill out complicated court paperwork one step at a time. She helped me talk through and formulate my questions before I called my lawyer so I could be articulate and precise. Before I secured Katie’s services, I remember wondering if I could afford a divorce coach. The truth is, I couldn’t afford to go through my divorce alone without Katie. Highly recommended."

This was an amazing client who started out quite timid and constantly worried about her future. To see her transformation into an empowered and confident women was such a gift to me!
