Be Everything And More
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...

What does it really look like to evolve without abandoning your edge? In today’s episode, I sit down with Yanina Oyarzo — host of Similarly Different, speaker, and storyteller who has dedicated her platform to unpacking the full, unfiltered humanity behind female ambition. What began as a hustle-at-12 survival story evolved into music industry executive at 18… and eventually, a hospitalization-level crash that forced her into a new relationship with discipline, desire, and peace. We explore the tension so many of us live in right now — loving the hustle, craving softness, and not...

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.
