We dive right in and talk about what success means to Kate and find out about the day that changed her life. A day others might have seen as a set back, she saw as the opportunity to take control of her life and make her own decisions.

"For me I feel like success is intentionally filling your life with the people, the activities and the things that you want in it! I don't think that you feel or are filled with success by making decision or doing things only out of necessity. It's more so making decisions and doing things because you want to do them."

Kate shares about not getting a promotion she was told she would be getting after working her butt off for 3.5 years at a large corporate company.  She shares with us how this moment in time was a huge turning point for her.

"It was a really intense feeling of just finally realizing and understanding that nobody else was going to give me what I wanted. Because that's what I was waiting for. I was waiting for somebody else to give me what I wanted. I thought somebody else held the key to that."
"I finally gave myself permission to make my own decisions and do what I wanted to do."

Kate also share some great advice about how she themes her days to get more done, and how she took her skills from the corporate world and used them to be an entrepreneur/business owner!
