🎙 This week’s confession: What happens when you walk away from everything the world says you “should” want… and burn it to the ground?

In this unapologetically raw conversation, I’m joined by Katie Rogers — a woman who’s lived more lives than most of us could imagine. From thriving as a high-powered solicitor, to losing her career, relationship, and home, to working in the adult entertainment industry… and now running a wildly successful coaching business Katie’s story is one of radical self-leadership, boundaries, and brave reinvention.

We go all in on what it really takes to step away from the “safe” path, face down your own shame, and rebuild a life and business that’s actually yours.

🔥 Inside this episode we cover:

  • Burning down wanky rules why Katie unsubscribed from hustle culture, the corporate ladder, and proving energy.

  • Breakdown to breakthrough how losing everything became the catalyst for radical authenticity.

  • Lessons from the adult entertainment industry boundaries, value, and the power of not overgiving.

  • Triggers, projections & radical ownership how to turn judgment into a mirror for your own growth.

  • Slowing down to speed up regulating your nervous system so big money, visibility, and leadership actually feel safe.

  • Celebrating your damn wins and why avoiding it keeps you stuck in the hustle loop.

💬 Katie says:

“Life was always coaching me, trying to nudge me off this path… but I didn’t know how to feel.” “Your triggers are invitations. They show you the parts of yourself calling out for more acceptance and integration.” “You can’t hold the next level until your mind and nervous system feel safe to receive and embody it.”
