Listen "Season 2 Ep 29: Ditch the FOMO, Trust Your Choices"
Episode Synopsis
Surrendering control might be the most powerful choice you'll ever make. During a magical seven-day trip to Newport Beach with my family, I witnessed firsthand how loosening my grip on life's reins creates space for unexpected blessings to flow in.From the moment we arrived, the universe began confirming this path. My husband opened a piece of mail I would have ignored, discovering a $3,900 check from my second son's birth, nearly three years ago! This wasn't just a coincidence; it was evidence of what happens when we shift from controlling to receiving. The old, calculated Katie who climbed to a C-suite position by age 33 would have been shocked, but the new me simply smiled in recognition.The magic continued as I embraced spontaneity throughout our vacation. I surprised myself by swimming to a distant dock (to my husband and children's amazement), manifested a long-held dream of treating my entire family to a Duffy boat excursion, and shared a perspective on decision-making that literally gave my family members chills: "I never have FOMO anymore because I believe whatever decision I make is the right decision and exactly where I'm meant to be." This simple yet profound shift has revolutionized my peace of mind. When you trust you're divinely supported, you only need to be 51% confident in any choice, then watch how everything aligns.Perhaps most meaningful was marking one year since questioning my relationship with alcohol on this very same beach. Last year, I wondered why I was numbing myself during beautiful moments with my children. This year, I returned essentially sober, discovering that life's joy is actually more intense and anxiety-free when experienced with complete clarity. The woman who once thought alcohol enhanced fun now knows true freedom comes from being fully present for every moment, the challenging and the beautiful alike.Join me on this journey of redefining what it means to live boldly and authentically.
