Now We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting Somewhere"How do I make sure it's not ‘Grass Is Greener Syndrome'?" (Q&A)Today I am answering a question from a newsletter subscriber.   Alexine asks: How do you check in with yourself before making a major move to check it's not "grass is greener" syndrome?   She shares: “We are looking to do a big move to the UK from Canada, and we do genuinely believe it's the right situation for us and our family. However, how do we check in with ourselves first and make sure we're not "chasing happiness.””   The heart of this question - “how do I make sure this i...2025-07-2332 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereMy new favorite practice (that’s not journaling)In this episode, I share with you my new favorite practice — that's not journaling.   I discovered it about a month ago when I was feeling pretty discouraged. I was frustrated with myself and I wanted to find a way to pull myself out of that moment. Typically, I'd do some journaling in that kind of moment — but it wasn't possible, and I also didn't *want* to. I know that for many of my clients, journaling just isn't their favorite — or maybe they do love it, but don't always have the time, or are looking for some ne...2025-07-0923 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereBalancing your energy "budget"I suspect that many of you reading this have emergency funds, IRA's, and ETF portfolios.   I also suspect that you may be living "month-to-month," when it comes to your energy. You never seem to have much reserves, and you're always just a smidge stressed, tired, or frantic.   Recently, I said something to a client that was such a good distillation of my thoughts about energy + how to stop being in that constant, low-level energy debt. It seemed to really resonate with her, so I thought I'd share it with you, too....2025-06-1114 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereWhen things don't come "naturally"Is there some area of your life that doesn't come "naturally"? Maybe it's some element of your work, parenthood, friendship, marriage, or even a hobby.   If so, this episode is for you.   We want to be skillful at something, and we want it to come easily. And when it’s hard, when we work for it, we can feel frustrated and insecure.   Today I share two client stories, along with an insight I love (that's been bouncing around inside of me lately) on this topic.   2025-05-2814 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereOne way to reduce stress + hours when you're a leaderI was working with two clients (who are both leaders and managers) in the past week, and I was giving them both very similar coaching.   Whenever that happens, I think: I should make a podcast about this.   (Think this episode doesn't apply to you because you aren't an official "manager"? I define leadership quite broadly, so there's a good chance the ideas I share will be helpful to you, too.)   Today I'm sharing the same advice I shared with them. I'm talking about how to reduce stress + hou...2025-05-1422 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereEdward’s StoryIn this episode, I’m sharing an interview with my client Edward. Edward is a husband, a father of four, an avid traveler, and a business owner and consultant.   In our interview, he shares how he felt like his life was pretty good, but also felt off in ways he couldn't put his finger on.   He talks about what led him to work with me, and how in our work together he has deepened his relationships with himself, his wife, and his kids. He also shares how he intentionally strengthened and gene...2025-04-3058 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereMaking reading (almost) as easy as Instagram — and more funThis episode is about reading, and how to help yourself read more.   I love reading, but that’s actually *not* why I’m making the argument for doing it more.   It’s because reading satisfies a very tricky set of conditions, in our modern lives: something that you can do, when you are completely exhausted, that does not have problematic side effects — and may actually make your life better.   I talk more about this very unique set of conditions that reading satisfies + I share 5 practical tips for how to make...2025-04-1620 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereOne obstacle to clarityI coach on clarity — or figuring out what you want — a lot.   I’ve realized recently there’s one thing that gets in the way of clarity with almost every client, at one point or another.   And that obstacle is: thinking too much about implementation before clarity is established.   So in this episode, I make my case for why we want to get clear on clarity before we even think too much about implementation + share 4 ways that I see implementation thoughts getting in the way of clarity. (Some of the...2025-04-0222 minGreen Tea Party RadioGreen Tea Party RadioIcons of Conservative Environmentalism: Heroes Every Young Conservative Should KnowIn this special episode of Green Tea Party Radio, host Katie Zakrzewski shares her personal list of influential heroes who have shaped her identity as a conservative environmentalist.

I frequently get asked about how I grew my business, how I run it now, and how I think about the business of coaching.   In this episode, I answer some of these questions, as well as give a short summary of the state of my business.   I love being a coach, and I hope this episode is helpful.

Today, let's talk about *travel.*   I share the story of how I realized this little idea was worth sharing + a little more about how I implement it.   I hope this is helpful to you in some way.

I talk about what this kind of group *is*, my own experiences starting one, how we run our meetings, and what I think works well for us.   Just having a richer, deeper support system can make such a difference in our lives — I know it has for me. And I want to...2024-12-1123 minHallmarks The Spot: A Hallmark Movie Review showHallmarks The Spot: A Hallmark Movie Review showHMTS #52 - Operation Nutcracker - Christmas Charade - The Five-Year Christmas PartyCountdown To Christmas 2024 Ep. 2 Join hosts Ellie and Jim as they delve into Hallmark's latest holiday movie offerings.

There are holidays, extra activities and events, and it’s a lot. So today I’m sharing what to do when you’re not going to fucking meditate. Or do three pages of fucking journaling. Or take an hour-long fucking walk.   Even if you would, in theory, like to do those things. Even if you’ve done those things — or even one of those things — regularly at some point in your life, and even if, you know those things make you feel good — right now, you are not going t...2024-11-2717 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereFeeling held by the worldToday I want to share about "feeling held by the world." It's a desire, or need, that underlies many other problems - if you're frustrated in your friendships, if you can never be as productive as you might like - this might be a concept that helps you in unexpected ways.   It's also come up with two different clients recently, and is a deep-yet-simple concept that often brings me calm + groundedness.   Per usual: in the episode, I define the concept, share a client example, and talk about why it matters + how yo...2024-11-1312 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting Somewhere“How do I assess and make good decisions for my future after a divorce?” (Q&A)I am answering another newsletter subscriber question today. Camilla asked:   “I’ve just gotten divorced and not worked for some time while we relocated abroad and tried for a family. I have to get back to work but I’m scared and worry about how to communicate my career gap.”   Camilla's question is about charting a new path after a divorce, but I think it's also a question about much broader themes: how to figure out our next steps at any season of our lives, and how to balance our future needs with...2024-10-0918 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereMaintaining friendships when you're exhausted + overwhelmed (Q&A)Today I’m answering another question from a newsletter subscriber. J asks: “How do I find time and energy for friendship when I'm exhausted by work and parenting?”   I share 6 practical suggestions for maintaining friendships when you are tired and overwhelmed. And then I talk about a higher-level problem that I think may be at play here.   I hope that these ideas help you maintain those friendships that matter to you and nourish you – and I hope that you find a way to feel even a little less tired and overwhelmed, in whateve...2024-09-2527 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereIt might not be a logical decision (at least not in the way that you think)Here’s something I’ve said to three different clients just this week:   It might not be a logical decision. (At least not in the way that you think).   So, today, I want to expand on that a bit – I want to talk about three main weaknesses that our logical brain can have in some kinds of decision-making. Then, I’m going to talk about what we can consult instead.   And finally, I’m going to flesh out that second thing - “at least not in the way that...2024-09-1119 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereGetting your ego out of the way (Q&A)A newsletter subscriber recently asked: “How do I get my ego out of the way when approaching a career transition?”   She's used to having the "credibility shortcut" of being a lawyer, and a part of her mourns that she won't have it in the same way — even though she likes her decision to try a new direction.   Today, I'm sharing more about what I think *really* hurts when we feel like our ego is in the way — plus four thoughts I recommend thinking when it happens (that have been helpful to me + my cl...2024-08-2826 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereRadical friendship insights from my fatherSome time ago, I wrote about what I’ve learned about friendship from watching my dad. People tell me, over and over, that this piece about my dad really touched them, and really stayed with them.    So, today I am putting these same ideas into podcast form, with some edits and a bit more detail.   I think my dad has some pretty great — and even *radical* — insights on friendship.

So many people I speak with are dealing with a similar issue, and Hannah has a lot of great insights + practices to share about what worked for her.   Plus, she's so funny, thoughtful + creative — I know you’ll enjoy hearing our conversation.   Subscrib...2024-07-311h 01Now We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereBaskingToday, I'm talking about basking, a body-based way of relating to people. Basking allows us to take in different, often quite useful information, and often produces different results.   On this episode, I explain what basking is + how I learned about it originally. Plus, I share 5 different contexts in which you can use it, and why it’s so helpful in each — using examples from one of my clients, and my own life.   I hope you’ll give basking a try - and let me know how it goes.   Subscr...2024-07-1717 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereWhen nothing is "wrong," but…I recently asked my newsletter community if there were any questions they would like me to answer on the podcast. I got some really good ones and today I’m answering this high-level question:   “How do you advise people who are dealing with that general feeling of "stuckness”?”   I realized, that on some level, so much of my work with clients is helping them with issues just like this - but I haven't had a chance to speak to it on my podcast yet!   Today, I share my "theory"...2024-07-0332 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereWhen you’re not seeing resultsSometimes we go through periods where we do not see outside progress or results, despite taking the action. And that can be....frustrating (to put it mildly).   Today, I wanted to share two ideas - one extended metaphor, and one short thought - that I've been reminding myself lately, in my own season of taking action without seeing a ton of results (yet). They've given me a lot of patience - and helped me feel downright optimistic about things.   I hope they will help you as much as they've helped me....2024-06-1916 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereSelf-development realismThis episode is about self-development realism. To me, self-development realism is acknowledging the *reality* of your limitations when it comes to implementing ideas from podcasts, on instagram, or books.   You can consume as much self-development content as you’d like, but I don’t want you to get frustrated or overwhelmed by it. I strongly believe that the most meaningful change typically happens iteratively, over time.   So I hope this episode gives you some encouragement and, frankly, context as you listen to the rest of my podcast, or consume anything from anyone...2024-06-0512 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereAgitationIn this episode, I talk about agitation.   If you're thinking: "What the heck is agitation, and why does it matter?" - well, this episode is for you. I'll start by defining the term - and make the case for why you should definitely care. (A lil' hint: ever struggled to stop doing something that doesn't serve you?)   Then I'll share two general principles of how agitation works (including a slightly embarrassing personal example) + a few ideas about how to work with your agitation productively.   I find that cer...2024-05-2229 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereA rant for people with Energetically Expensive LivesToday’s episode is a rant that I would like to share with people who have Energetically Expensive Lives.   It’s a rant that I have been sharing with some of my clients who have energetically expensive lives, and it’s a rant that I just sometimes rant to myself, as I’m taking a walk, and feel fired up about these big, mistaken ideas that people with energetically expensive lives have.   If you don’t have much energy to spend, you need to make sure that you invest every cent of energy wi...2024-04-1030 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereThe Princess and the Pea (A Sensitivity Story)Today I am sharing a concept I’ve developed over the past year or so.

I developed this concept to help her better understand what was going on for her - and also how to move forward.   It turns out it has also applied to some of my other clients - and maybe it will...2024-03-2728 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereCommunicating with men (advice for women + everyone else)I’m back with my husband, Gil, to share some ideas about how to communicate with men.   (This is part 2 of the series we started in Episode 31, where we discussed communicating with women.)   In this episode, Gil and I share our best tips for communicating with men, and pull back the curtain of our marriage a bit, too.

I don't always love making gender-based generalizations - but I also felt like this was a topic that could help a lot of people.   So this week, I'm doing it. I'm sharing my best ideas about how to communicate with women, and I'm joined by a very special guest: my husband, Gil!...2024-02-2851 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereJulie’s StoryOn today’s podcast, I’m sharing an interview I did with my former client, Julie.   Our coaching work together covered many things – including a deep dive into decision-making + how to get better at it. In our conversation, Julie and I talk about:   + The list of super-useful thoughts she cultivated about decision-making (which you should absolutely steal).   + The 4-part decision-making process she developed in our work together (which she now uses to help the people she loves – like her roommate — make big decisions).   + Her ability to...2024-02-1455 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting Somewhere“What actually happens during a life coaching engagement?”​​One of the most common questions I hear is some form of: so what actually *happens* on a coaching engagement?   This is a great question. After all, life coaching is a relatively new profession, so many people aren’t familiar with it. And different coaches run their coaching engagements in different ways.   Today I answer this question in two ways: from a more high-level arc of the overall engagement, and on the micro level within each coaching session.   I hope this episode gives you more insight on what coac...2024-01-3126 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting Somewhere“What actually happens during a life coaching engagement?”One of the most common questions I hear is some form of: so what actually *happens* on a coaching engagement?   This is a great question because life coaching is a relatively new profession, so many people aren’t familiar with it, and lots of coaches run their coaching engagements in different ways.   So today I answer this question in three ways: from a logistical perspective, from a more high-level arc of the overall engagement, and on the micro level within each coaching session.   I hope this episode gives...2024-01-1731 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereTwo Intentional Technology IdeasIn this episode, I talk about intentional technology.   I share the first two big things I did to get intentional about technology years ago.   These are honestly pretty small + easy, but they also give you a big bang for your buck.   So if you want the feeling of having done something for the new year, without actually doing a lot, I think these could be fun places to start.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter  ...2023-12-2721 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereLoving, functional families + individuationToday I am sharing a very specific observation that has some interesting implications during the holiday season.   This is about people who grow up in generally loving, warm, functional families. Obviously this is a blessing, in so many ways.   And yet, I have also observed that people who come from loving and warm and functional families will sometimes have a very specific set of problems, that I would put under the category of some parts of individuation happening quite late.   So if you are still wanting to ind...2023-12-1316 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereTake the Next Day OffAs we enter the holiday season, I want to offer you an idea that has been really resonating with me in my life, and with my clients as well.   Here it is: Take the next day off.   If you’re trying to make an improvement in your life - do the new practice for one day, and then *take the next day off.* Don’t do it for two days in a row.   It might sound a little silly, or a little ineffective, but tune into this episode...2023-11-2913 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting Somewhere“What Happened” ConversationsToday I am talking about “what happened” conversations.   A “what happened” conversation is a type of conversation that is incredibly useful when you are in a difficult, resentful, angry, or frustrated situation with someone.   In this episode I explain more about what a “what happened” conversation is, why it’s useful, and when to do it. I get specific, sharing some scripts + common mistakes (and how to avoid them).   This episode will help you to more easily resolve challenges with partners, family, friends, and colleagues.

The part when you basically know what you want, but sometimes you hesitate, you feel anxious and indecisive and put off actually making the decision.   I come to this episode as someone who has struggled to make decisions in the past.   I'm sharing five practices or thoughts that have been helpful to me and my clients, in the hopes that they might be helpful to you, too.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful ins...2023-11-0119 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting Somewhere10 Bread-and-Butter Coaching TopicsSometimes what holds people back from getting support is that they don’t even realize what kinds of topics coaches can help with.   So in this episode, I share the 10 most common topics that come up in my own life coaching practice.

She’d gone through more challenging periods in the past, and did have a lot of things she really wanted.   But she felt like there was a disconnect between some of her values, and how she was actually spending her time and brain space.   Our work together was about helping her re-adjust her thoughts...2023-08-1638 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereTransitioning to MotherhoodI recently asked my email newsletter list if they had any questions they’d like for me to answer on the podcast. Today, I answer one of those questions. A high-level summary of the question is: How do I gracefully transition to motherhood, from a career-oriented 30-year old with no kids and no role models? While I don’t particularly consider myself a parenting expert, to me this question is really about identity, priorities, time, and how our commitments to being a parent fits with all of the other things we are committed to. ...2023-08-0249 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewhereCompass Instruction ManualOne thing I do very, very frequently is help clients with problems like:   “I don’t know what I want.”   Or: “I don’t know what to do about my job or relationship or where to live.”   Or: “I feel like my life is off but I’m not really sure what that even means.”   I call these “compass problems” — because clients don’t know what direction they want to go in, and often, they fear their compass might be…broken.   Here’s the good news: most...2023-05-3134 minNow We\'re Getting SomewhereNow We're Getting SomewherePractical Ideas for Adult FriendshipsIn this episode, I cover a topic that is close to my heart - adult friendship.
