For this fabulous episode, I am thrilled to welcome Kate Northrup as my guest. In this incredible interview, we talk about the “shoulds” that we tend to put onto ourselves, how we tend to get stuck and add more responsibilities and tasks to our lists which prevents us from thriving and doesn’t allow us to create more time for the things that fill and enlighten us.
As women, we are all mothering someone in our lives, including ourselves, so this episode is for all of us. Kate encourages women to ask themselves: what would your life look like if you had the time to do the things that really matter to you, those things that truly light you up?
Kate is sharing the keys to creating a better relationship with your body, learning how to read the cues your body is giving you and to make the best decisions founded in what is that you need to do and not to do.
Kate also talks about her brand new book Do Less: A revolutionary Approach to Time and Energy Management for Ambitious Women
Here are the main topics of this outstanding conversation:
- ● Kate shares how she decided that doing less was the way to move forward.
- ● Kate talks about how she became interested in the moon’s phases and women’s cycles.
- ● Overworking can be a trauma response.
- ● Tools to work through the trauma and to learn how to just be present in our bodies.
- ● We are mammals, and we forget this.
- ● How can you fit more of you into your schedule?

- ● Create space for what matters the most to finding yourself.
- ● How you do what you do matters more than what you are doing.
- ● Our well being depends on connection.
- ● Tools to align with yourself.
- As Kate marvellously states: You are already fabulous, you do not have to prove that to anyone! Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!
