Today, I'm speaking with entrepreneur and life/business coach, Katie Den Ouden, about how she developed into the person she is today and what allowed her to create a life she absolutely loves. You'll be inspired by her story, especially how she attributes the hardships growing up into early adulthood as the EXACT things she needed to cultivate a life full of freedom and joy.

Katie on cultivating community:

1. Know that you’re not alone in how you’re feeling.

2. Show up and encourage life together, not what you can “get” from the relationships. Focus on upleveling each other. 

3. Just get out there. Start messaging people, on social media, by email,  or in person.  Be willing to understand that a no or a no response is not a sign of your worth. Detach from the outcome.

What Katie used for mold detox: 

-Low histamine diet

-QuickSilver Scientific protocol

-Infrared sauna to sweat out toxins

Katie’s top two tools for helping live by design:

1. Sunday set-up - weekly prep to set up her week ahead

2. Challenging the thoughts that come up that limit or contain her or keep her stuck in a monotonous routine. Ask “What if…”
