125. The Unglamorous Truth About Reaching Your Biggest Goals
Your Next Move Podcast
What if the reason you haven't hit your biggest goal isn't a missing strategy — it's a missing belief? In this episode, Kimberly is getting honest about the mindset trap that keeps even the most talented professionals and entrepreneurs stuck: the constant search for a better plan. Spoiler: the plan isn't the problem. The reps are. Kimberly breaks down why success is far less glamorous than we've been conditioned to believe, and why the "missing link" most high achievers are searching for isn't a new tactic — it's the willingness to keep doing what already works, consistently, even when the...

121. The Win I Didn't Know I Needed: A Mindset Shift and the Permission to Celebrate Your Wins
Your Next Move Podcast
In this episode, Kimberly gets into her mindset behind her recent program launch— and the results exceeded every goal she set. But this episode isn't really about the numbers. It's about what the numbers revealed: a story Kimberly had been quietly carrying since 2018 that she never said out loud, not to her clients, not to her audience, barely even to herself. For years, she had internalized a belief that she could get results for others, but that building a group program and a community wasn't something she could pull off. This launch is what finally dismantled that story. Kimberly walks...
