26. The Self-Doubt Spiral

If you're anything like me, trying to do all the things all at the same time often means that I end up overextending myself, and those things either never get done or the quality just isn't that great. In this episode, I'm sharing the latest news around the opening of my salon and why I'm choosing to pause the podcast this summer. Because sometimes you gotta slow down to speed up.   Resources & Links: Hair by Kaitlin Cox Salon Store FREE Words of Faith download   Connect with Katilin: Follow on Instagram @emergingasme Subscribe to my email list   Make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode!

Today, I have a special episode for y'all because I'm sharing a recent interview I did with Emily Reuschel on her podcast, Gather in Growth. In this interview, I talk about how I've evolved over the past decade or so of my life and where I'm at now. So, if you don't already know my background and some of the things that my husband and I have gone through, I thought it would be great to share here on this podcast so you can hear how I've moved through some tough seasons in life and where I've landed. And if you relate to any part of my story, I hope it brings you peace, comfort, and encouragement.    Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Hair by Kaitlin Cox Salon Store FREE Words of Faith download   Connect with Katilin: Follow on Instagram @emergingasme Subscribe to my email list   Make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode!

Something that's been on my mind a lot lately is cell phone use, especially social media. Technology can be amazing, but there's a fine line between the good and bad aspects of it. So today, I'm sharing my feelings about social media, my relationship with it, and how I'm reflecting on those feelings and moving forward. I'm also exploring what a digital detox could look like so I can be more present with my family and more engaged in my own life.   Resources & Links: The Anxious Generation Hair by Kaitlin Cox Salon Store FREE Words of Faith download   Connect with Katilin: Follow on Instagram @emergingasme Subscribe to my email list   Make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode!

Being a farm wife means that this time of year is always extremely busy. Add in two toddlers, and it gets even crazier. Today, I'm talking about how I handle busy seasons like this to try to stay positive and keep moving forward. Just like the seasons of the year, busy seasons are also temporary. From prioritizing and delegating to finding balance and staying flexible, these strategies help me (and hopefully you) navigate and embrace the busy seasons of life.   Resources & Links: Green Compass CBD Midwest Marigold Affiliate Link Matthew 11:28-30 Hair by Kaitlin Cox Salon Store FREE Words of Faith download   Connect with Katilin: Follow on Instagram @emergingasme Subscribe to my email list   Make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode!
