Be Everything And More
If you have ever found yourself stuck in inconsistent $2K to $3K months and wondering why hitting $10K feels so out of reach, this episode is going to shift how you see everything. In this conversation, Kaitlin breaks down why making $2K a month often requires more effort, more spinning, and more exhaustion than making $10K. And why trying to scale the same way you built your early revenue is usually the very thing keeping you stuck. Inside this episode, you will hear a grounded, real-world look at what actually creates consistent high-cash months. Kaitlin also dives into the part that most...

In this episode of Be Everything And More, I’m sitting down in person with Maruja Retana, a former pop singer who took a wild, honest pivot into what she now calls vocal psychology and it is exactly as fascinating as it sounds. We talk about what happens when you finally get the thing you dreamed about, and suddenly the fear is not “What if I fail?” but “Oh shit, what if this is real?” If you have ever wanted to be seen, heard, or taken seriously and then immediately panicked when the spotlight showed up, this conversation is for you. Maru shares how her background in psychology and...

In this episode of Be Everything And More, I’m sitting down with Sarah Arvizu, the creator behind Creating Sunshine, for a conversation that’s equal parts raw, funny, and deeply grounding.

Sarah takes us behind the scenes of the timeline, the appointments, the fear, and the identity shift that happens when your body and your world change fast. We...

If business has been feeling a little… heavy lately, this episode is your reminder that success doesn’t always have to come from strategy, spreadsheets, or grinding yourself into dust.

In today’s behind-the-scenes, slightly chaotic, absolutely hilarious episode, Kaitlin pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like to build a business with play, presence, and zero apology.

December has big “wrap it up and get intentional” energy and this episode breaks it all down for you. In this convo, I sit down with my favorite astrologer numerologist and moon-phase wizard, Renee Bloodworth, to walk through the collective energy of December and how to actually use it instead of just surviving the end of the year. We talk about what it means to be in a 3 month inside a 9 year and why this is the moment to get honest about what you are finishing, what you are carrying forward and what you are finally done leaking energy into. We also walk week by week through the December...

This week on Be Everything And More, we’re going there, into the money story I’ve danced around, hinted at, and low-key avoided sharing for years. Not because I’m scared of talking about numbers… but because this story isn’t really about money at all. It’s about shame. Secrets. Identity. And the moment your life forces you to tell the truth you’ve been carrying alone. I’m taking you behind the scenes, not the glossy, “after” photo of entrepreneurship we all see online, but the messy, chaotic, human in-between. The season where I was rebuilding my business after divorce,...

If you’ve been juggling the intuitive, spiritual side of you with the ambitious, strategic entrepreneur inside you… this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. Today, I’m stripping back the layers on identity, authenticity, and what it really looks like to build a business as a woman who holds duality: the spiritual and the analytical, the intuitive and the driven, the retreat version and the CEO version. In this raw conversation, I open up about losing myself in the noise of the online business world, chasing other people’s strategies, and forgetting the core of my own voice. I...

You’ve heard the formulas: raise your prices, build a funnel, launch another offer. But if you’re still hustling every month just to rebuild momentum, it’s not because you’re lazy or missing some secret strategy. It’s because the system you’re building might not actually be built for you. In this raw, eye-opening episode, Kaitlin pulls back the curtain on what’s really keeping female entrepreneurs stuck in inconsistent income cycles, and how to create recurring revenue that’s not just profitable, but sustainable. She shares her own hard-earned lessons from scaling to multi-six...

This month’s energy forecast is here, and it’s spicy. 🌶️ In this episode, Kaitlin sits down with resident energy coach, healer, and numerologist Renee Bloodworth to unpack the potent mix of Scorpio depth, Mercury retrograde reflection, and the “2 energy” of collaboration and connection running through November. Together, they explore how this month’s collective energy invites us to go deeper, into our relationships, our purpose, and our own emotional undercurrents, while finding grounding in what truly matters. Renee breaks down what each week of November will bring...
info_outlineThis week on Be Everything And More, we’re going there, into the money story I’ve danced around, hinted at, and low-key avoided sharing for years. Not because I’m scared of talking about numbers… but because this story isn’t really about money at all. It’s about shame. Secrets. Identity. And the moment your life forces you to tell the truth you’ve been carrying alone.
I’m taking you behind the scenes, not the glossy, “after” photo of entrepreneurship we all see online, but the messy, chaotic, human in-between. The season where I was rebuilding my business after divorce, trying to keep it all together, and quietly slipping into a situation that nearly took me out emotionally, financially, and spiritually. And the moment I realized I couldn’t hide it anymore.
You’ll hear how this experience cracked me open, reshaped my self-trust, changed my relationship with my partner, D, and ultimately became the reason I lead my business the way I do today: with identity, integrity, and compassion at the center. This isn’t a story about being perfect. It’s a story about what becomes possible when you finally put the shame down and let yourself be seen.
If you’ve ever carried a secret… felt like the “strong one” who can’t fall apart… or believed your mistakes make you unworthy, this episode is going to hit in all the right ways.
In this episode, we explore:
- The money spiral I kept hidden and how it quietly built shame over time
- The moment everything came crashing in and I had to tell the truth
- Why secrecy fuels self-judgment (and how shame shapes identity)
- What my daughter’s diagnosis taught me about compassion and honesty
- The behind-the-scenes reality of entrepreneurship you never see on social
- How this experience birthed She’s The Strategy and changed how I coach
- A reminder that your mistakes are not your identity, and you get to rewrite your story
If you want a real, intimate, zero-filter conversation about money, self-forgiveness, and what it takes to rebuild from the inside out… press play. This one’s for you.
