If 2026 is the year you stop spinning and start building real momentum, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, Kaitlin breaks down the five shifts she would focus on if she were going after her first $100k+ year in business. These are not hustle harder tactics or trendy internet advice. They are the grounded, strategic, and energetic foundations that actually move the needle.

You'll hear why doing more is often the thing holding you back, and how simplifying your offers, your messaging, and your environment can unlock faster growth. Kaitlin shares what she sees over and over again with women who are stuck at inconsistent income levels, and what changes when you stop trying to do everything and start doing the right things consistently.

This episode also dives into the less talked about pieces of business growth, like the role your health, energy, and daily habits play in your income, and why celebration and appreciation are not fluff, but strategy. If you have been working hard but still feel like something is missing, this conversation will help you see where the real shift needs to happen.

Whether you are aiming for your first six figures or simply want a more sustainable and aligned way to grow, this episode will help you think differently about what actually creates results and how to move into 2026 with clarity and confidence.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to grow your business to $100k+ without overcomplicating your offers
• Why one clear offer and one clear promise matter more than a full offer suite
• Messaging clarity and why vague branding kills conversions
• The importance of elevating your circle of influence as an entrepreneur
• The connection between health, energy, and income growth
• Celebration, appreciation, and shifting your frequency around money
• What actually creates sustainable six figure business momentum

If you want to go from knowing what to do to actually living it, listen in.

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. We talk about what it really looks like to find "sunshine moments" when life does not feel sunny at all, including Sarah's breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and the choices she made in the middle of it all to keep showing up for her life.

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 get into the difference between real hope and toxic positivity, and how she stayed anchored by focusing on what she could control. This is not a neatly packaged inspiration story. It's a real conversation about the hard parts, the human parts, and the moments that surprised her along the way.

We also zoom out from the diagnosis itself and talk about the tools that helped her stay steady day to day, plus the small shifts that actually move you out of "stuck in the suck." Sarah shares what she calls an audit of your inputs, what you're consuming, what you're telling yourself, and who you're letting into your mental space. And if you've ever felt like you're trying to get back to "normal" after something hard, the ending of this episode will land.

Key highlights and themes:

• Breast cancer survivor story and what the diagnosis process really looked like
• "What can I control?" mindset for getting through hard seasons
• Journaling as emotional regulation and a way to track your transformation
• Nervous system support tools: breathwork, hypnosis, community support
• Nutrition shifts and detoxing your kitchen without becoming extreme
• Body image, hair loss, surgery decisions, and the emotional side of physical change
• Sunshine moments in the middle of grief, fear, and uncertainty
• Accountability without shame and how to stop staying stuck
• "You won't be the same person after, and that's okay" identity shift

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. Sometimes the thing that moves the needle the most is the one we forget entirely: fun. 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.

What starts as a simple James Clear quote spirals into a full-on riff about joy, retreats, friendships, content creation, and why adding even one drop of delight into your routine can shift everything: your mindset, your energy, your momentum, and yes, your bottom line. She also opens up about the real reason people think she "just does things," from medical procedures to marathons to launching events… and why the words I can't simply don't exist in her vocabulary.

You'll walk away feeling lighter, braver, and a little more willing to choose the path that actually feels good, instead of forcing yourself into the one you were told was "right." If you've been craving a refresh in how you show up for your business, this episode is your permission slip to shake things up and make it fun again.

Hit play, laugh with us, and let this be the moment you stop overthinking and start enjoying the process.

Key Highlights

• How playfulness, joy, and fun instantly elevate your business results
• Why retreats, travel, and community act as energetic resets for entrepreneurs
• The truth about "just doing it" and why most resistance isn't about capability
• How to make hard things easier by making them more enjoyable
• The mindset shift that eliminates the phrase I can't from your vocabulary
• Content creation tips for showing up with authenticity, humor, and zero pressure
• Why business works better when you stop taking yourself so seriously
