Success=Simple

In this episode, we explore the key differences between being a guiding lighthouse and a reactive lifeboat. Why do so many of us fall into the trap of trying to fix everyone around us? What are the consequences for both the fixer and those being fixed? And most importantly, how can we shift our mindset to embody the role of a steady and inspiring presence in our own lives and the lives of others?  Discover practical guidance on leading through example, setting healthy boundaries, and moving beyond the urge to control. We also explore how childhood trauma can influence this behavior and how healing can empower us to show up in a more authentic and impactful way. What You’ll Learn:  The reasons behind the fixing instinct The impact on personal well-being and relationships How to become a lighthouse: leading by example and inspiring others The roots of this behavior, including childhood trauma Actionable steps to live and lead with integrity  Links:  All things Katie :www.kbmfc,com HUME: https://www.humehealth.com/KATIE16088 Keto Chow: https://get.aspr.app/SH1IH3 IG: @katieboydambitchious Stay Ambitchious,   Katie

Hello, Ambitchious Fam! We just dropped a mind-blowing episode on the Ambitchious Podcast that’s about to transform everything you thought you knew about weight loss, wellness, and personal growth. If you’ve ever felt stuck in an endless cycle of diets, workouts, and self-criticism, you do not want to miss this one. 🎙️ Episode Recap: Discovering Your Divine Essence Bioprint with Christine Morse I sat down with the incredible Christine Renee for a deep dive into a wellness approach you’ve probably never heard before: the Divine Essence Bioprint.

How to break the cycle of doing the same thing and expecting different results (aka diet insanity). Simple, practical steps tailored to your unique astrological blueprint. Action Steps from the Episode: Stop Blaming Yourself: If you haven’t had success with one-size-fits-all plans, it’s not your fault. Your Divine Bioprint reveals the REAL reason.

Hey Ambitchious Tribe! In this week’s episode of the Ambitchious Podcast, I delve headfirst into a topic that many Ambitchious women struggle with: overdeveloped masculine energy—what it looks like, why it occurs, and how we can begin to heal. Sound familiar? Overly assertive, even when it comes off as aggressive Perfectionist and control freak tendencies Difficulty expressing vulnerability or emotion Independence to a fault (“I don’t need anyone!”) Workaholism and tying self-worth to productivity Trouble with emotional intimacy, even in close relationships… If you were nodding along, you’re not alone—and trust me, I get it and have been there too! Most of us develop these traits as responses to trauma and old programming, whether from childhood, family history, or the expectations of “hustle culture.” You don’t have to live in that mode forever. What’s inside this transformative episode? How to recognize the red flags of toxic masculine energy My personal journey of stepping back from constant hustle Why ancestral lineage and societal pressures play such a big part Practical, heartfelt ways to heal: inner child work, rituals, creative outlets, nature, and…reclaiming the power of vulnerability Tips on how to invite your partner into your healing process (yes, you can ask for what you desire) Key Takeaways to Start Healing Today: Self-awareness is step one. Get real about these patterns. Practice self-compassion. These traits were protective, but you’re allowed to outgrow them. Lean into your femininity. Creativity, connection, care, and stillness are your medicine. Create clear boundaries and surround yourself with supportive, growth-minded women. Communicate with your partner. Let them know how to genuinely support you as you rebalance. My Challenge for You: Spend time this week being instead of doing. Take a bath, write in your journal, or just sit in the sun. And if you notice those inner alarm bells going off, don’t shy away. That discomfort is your inner wisdom inviting you to heal. Ready for even deeper support? The Ambitchious app is packed with meditation, shadow work, inner child healing, and a powerful sisterhood. Start your free week HERE. Remember: You are worthy, just as you are—no matter how much you achieve. 💗 Stay Ambitchious, Katie & The Dream Team P.S.

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!). Take action: If you need an empowering community, reply to this email or hit the show notes to book a FREE discovery call with me. Let's make your circle supportive, positive, and Ambitchious AF.

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.
