Is Your Inner Circle Toxic?

Hey Ambitches!  This week’s Ambitchious Podcast episode is a truth bomb like no other. If you’ve ever felt drained after hanging out with “friends,” or you find yourself downplaying your achievements, this one’s for you. Tired, Drained, Uninspired? It Could Be Your Circle. Lately, even I (yes, Katie!) have noticed some not-so-supportive vibes from people I thought would always be in my corner. That’s what inspired this episode. I’m breaking down the 20 telltale signs that the people you spend most of your time with might actually be TOXIC—and what you can do about it. Here are 5 signs to check yourself on right now (listen to the episode for all 20): You feel drained (not energized) after every interaction. Are you cringing every time you see their name pop up? Your body is giving you the signs—trust it. You downplay your joy and big wins around them. If you can't share your celebrations without getting eye rolls or shade, they’re not your ride-or-dies. They only call when they need something. If “Hey girl!” texts mean “Can you do this for me?” it’s time to set boundaries. You walk on eggshells with your words. If you’re always worried they’ll twist your words or gaslight you, hit pause on the relationship. They guilt-trip you for growing and changing. Real friends root for your evolution—they don’t try to keep you stuck in the same old place. Bonus: If you ever feel lonelier WITH someone than WITHOUT them, it’s time to reevaluate the connection. You deserve people who light you up, not dim your shine! Ready to Step Up Your Inner Circle? Change can feel lonely at first, but trust me—it’s way lonelier spending your precious life energy on people who secretly want to hold you back. Deep dive with me on this episode! Listen in as I unpack all 20 toxic signs AND give you tools to protect your energy (without running off to be a feral animal in the woods—I promise!).

Hey Ambitchious Fam! Ready for some real talk? On this week’s episode of the Ambitchious Podcast, I get honest about something I’m sure we can ALL relate to lately: PEOPLE. ARE. SO. ANNOYING. Yup, I went there and I hope you are so here for it. If you’ve ever found yourself silently screaming at someone’s lack of boundaries or eye-rolling at the “attention seekers” of the world, you’re not alone! Here’s a taste of what went down in this hilariously relatable and totally empowering episode: My List of People Who Annoy the F Outta Me (And Maybe You Too!) Those who can’t read social cues or respect boundaries (no, it’s not about the neurodiverse community—I am talking about the “everyday oblivious”). People with zero impulse control—seriously, does every thought need to come out of your mouth? Insecure folks who won’t stop complaining about themselves (we all have cellulite, ho. Move on!). Attention seekers, narcissists, the flaky ones, the loud talkers, the personal space invaders… Chronic complainers who have zero interest in change (even after all the advice!). But why is this bugging you so much? I break it down: If you’re feeling extra annoyed, it might be a sign you’re about to LEVEL UP. Sometimes that old energy creeps in just before big personal growth, and it’s your job as an Ambitchious human to recognize it and keep rising. How to Deal (HBIC-Style): Stay self-aware and take radical responsibility—are you letting other people’s low-vibe energy dim your high-vibe light? Remember: Not everyone is operating on your level of consciousness. Most people truly have no idea how they’re coming across. Set boundaries and actually communicate them. (“A queen does not leave her throne to address peasants throwing stones.” 👑) Don’t waste your precious energy trying to “fix” every annoyance; let the little stuff go. Practice empathy, laugh at the nonsense (Ava laugh, anyone?), and keep your sense of humor. The Bottom Line: Life is too short to let the annoying people win. Protect your energy, let the fools be foolish, and keep shining your bright Ambitchious light. If you need a little help leveling up, I'm just a call away—discovery calls are complimentary!  Ready for MORE?

Hey Ambitchious Tribe! It's Katie Boyd, the original HBIC, and I’m here with a quick but powerful recap of this week’s Ambitchious Podcast episode:  Let’s get real: Lately, it feels like people’s audacity is at an all-time high, am I right? Whether it’s out at dinner, traveling, or just interacting day-to-day, boundaries are getting tested everywhere. Today’s episode goes deep on how you—yes, YOU—teach others how to treat you, and how radical responsibility is everything when it comes to setting the standard for your relationships, work, and self-respect. Key Takeaways: 1. Radical Responsibility Is Queen  Stop wondering, “Why did they treat me this way?” and start asking, “Where did I give permission for this?” Accepting that you have the power to shape how others behave toward you is LIFE-CHANGING. 2. Boundaries, Boundaries, Boundaries  Strong, pristine boundaries aren’t just self-care—they’re an absolute necessity. If you accept mistreatment or disregard, you’re inadvertently telling people that’s okay with you. If you need a boundaries refresher, check out previous podcasts or my book (there’s a whole chapter on boundaries!). https://kbmfc.com/products/ambitchious-book 3. Respond to Mistreatment—Immediately When someone crosses a line, don’t let it slide and hope for the best. Address it right then and there. The more consistent and direct you are, the faster people will adapt to the new standard you’re setting. 4. Flex that Self-Awareness Muscle  Ask yourself: “Why am I letting this happen?” Address your own triggers and patterns—whether rooted in past trauma or old people-pleaser tendencies—so you can show up as your most powerful, intentional self. 5. Clear Communication: No One is a Mind-Reader  Don’t expect others to magically know your needs and limits. Say what you mean, mean what you say, and don’t apologize for it. It may feel uncomfortable, but resentment is a way worse feeling to carry. 6. Consistency is Everything  Boundaries mean nothing without consistency. Be vigilant—don’t make exceptions because you’re tired, guilty, or just not in the mood to deal. If you waver, people will test those boundaries again and again. 7. Self-Respect (With a Side of Respect for Others)  Remember: Upholding your standards isn’t just a favor to yourself—it’s also respectful to the other person. No one can meet your needs if you’re not clear about what they are. Let’s Make the Rest of Your Life the Best of Your Life If this episode resonated with you, please share it with your soul circle! And if you’re ready to take things deeper, check out the Ambitchious app or book a complimentary discovery call with me. Let’s get you living life at the next level—with zero apologies. https://kbmfc.com/pages/business-coaching Stay Ambitchious, Queen. And as always, see you next Tuesday.

The journey from pain to purpose: How yoga, therapy, and confronting her own “bad coping habits” led Taylor to create her brand and podcast “But Seriously.” The power of support systems: Taylor and I go deep on chosen family, boundaries, and why building a new community is crucial for healing. Why humor matters: Taylor shares how laughter and not taking yourself too seriously are essential tools for moving through the hard stuff. “But Seriously” – the podcast: Taylor’s podcast is all about holding space for big, tough conversations—while serving plenty of laughs (and Aperol Spritzes!). She’s on a mission to help people heal, share their stories, and reignite their inner fire. Our Favorite Moments: Me confessing, “You make my nipples hard, because your energy is so infectious.” (Put that on a resume, Taylor! 😂) Taylor’s philosophy: “I’m sexy, I’m silly, I’m safe.” Young women everywhere, take note! Real talk about boundaries, perfectionism, growing up way too fast, and how healing isn’t linear (spoiler: it’s lifelong). What’s Next for Taylor & “But Seriously”? Song, dance, yoga retreats in Costa Rica, and building a passionate collective of women ready to change the world (and have some serious fun while doing it).

Hey Ambitchious Fam, Ready for your next level? Because I'm back with a power-packed episode, and trust me—this one will light a fire under your Spanx! 🔥 This week on the Ambitchious Podcast, I dive deep into one of the toughest forms of love: a reality check about the excuses that keep us stuck in “meh” when we could be living our most freedom-filled lives. If you’re craving financial independence, business success, and the confidence to say NO to what doesn’t serve you… this is your episode. Here’s a taste of what you’ll learn: Tough Love Alert: Stop Settling for Mediocrity! As you know, I ain’t Willy Wonka and I will never sugarcoat the truth—I am just so tired of seeing women with massive potential hiding behind excuses, distractions, and people-pleasing. If you want to become the HBIC (Head Bitch in Charge) of YOUR life, you must have more than just dreams. You need action and relentless execution. Excuses or Execution: You Can’t Have Both Are you “busy” all the time but not making real progress? I’m going to break down the difference between fake and real work, how to avoid the trap of busy-ness, and why your lack of execution isn’t about technical skill—it’s about existential clarity. Spoiler: focus and purpose go hand in hand! The Million-Dollar Question: What Are You Saying “Yes” To That Should Be a “No”? I get real-real about boundaries, people-pleasing, and guarding your time like the precious resource it is. I share my favorite tools, and of course my own daily strategies, to help you cut the fluff and double down on what really moves your life forward. Challenge: The 90/90/1 Rule Want results that compound like crazy? I’m challenging you to dedicate the first 90 minutes of every day, for 90 days, to your #1 goal. Whether it’s building your business, writing that book, or reclaiming your health, 90 focused minutes is a game-changer. My Wisdom Nuggets: Focus isn’t about doing more—it’s about eliminating distractions. Productivity hacks are useless without a purpose-driven vision. Mastery isn’t about working harder, but smarter, with INTENTION. Your thoughts shape your reality—so choose victory over victimhood. Ready to Execute?
