Do you struggle with how to reveal your authentic self? It’s easy for us to hide behind our insecurities or fears and not step out into the things we know we are called to do. That is a huge struggle, but if you know there is something within you that is your purpose, you have to keep going. When you are living in your gifts you are living out your true self.

In this episode I talk with Kate McKay who has been through devastating heartache and still manages to be her best self. She believes that living out your legacy is key, not only for your own sake but because there is someone out there who needs to hear and see your message. We talk about centering yourself and the importance of getting quiet with your own thoughts, and how that helps us to then go out stronger. You don’t want to miss this powerful episode.

Questions I asked:

• How do haters respond when they see you living out your best life?
• Is setting your intention key to your success?
• Why do we need to get uncomfortable?
• How do you find your gifts and strengths?

Topics Discussed:
