Welcome to another guest interview on the Journey to Authenticity podcast!
Today I'm interviewing Kalina Butts, who I met at a one-day retreat in Toronto a couple years ago, and now we are hosting our own one-day retreat in Oakville on Sunday, February 11th!
In this episode, we discuss...
- The magic of a one-day retreat and more details about The Catalyst Retreat that we will be co-hosting in February!
- The decisions Kalina has made that are not what she expected her life to look like at this point in time but how she is fulfilled and grateful with her life as it is today.
- How choosing to pursue her most authentic life helped her heal from perfectionism and people pleasing tendencies.
- How her innate abilities and skills that initially lead her down the path of becoming a teacher are still being utilized in her business but in a way that feels way more aligned and fulfilling!
- The catalyst moment that propelled her into this whole new life path.
- The thought process she went through in figuring out what she wanted and where to go next in her career.
- The tests and temptations that come along when we are in the midst of making a big transition in our lives.
- The serendipitous moment that supported her in making the big decision to leave her teaching career.
- How her business expanded when she left her teaching career and claimed the identity of coach.
- The importance of prioritizing how it FEELS over how it LOOKS.
- The power of connecting with your future self and ways that you can embody your future self now.
- How she went from someone who couldn’t comprehend how a 9:30am Spin class exists, and now she’s the person who goes to the 9:30am Spin class!
- The shift from defining success by what other people think to connecting with herself and defining success on her own terms.
- Her experience of “walking alone” on this journey for a little bit and then finding people who are aligned with who she has become.
- The story of how she recently reclaimed her last name as part of her dedication to authenticity this year!
- And more!
