Episode Description
Most of us didn’t wake up this morning thinking… today I’m gonna change the world. However, what if we could? Do you see yourself as a changemaker? When was the last time you pondered how you could make a difference in the world? Does that thought feel a bit intimidating? If so, you’re not alone. What if changing the world starts with each of us changing ourselves and the world around us? Now that feels a bit more doable. Perhaps the way to start is by thinking about something you have control over and something you’re passionate about changing. What if the ripple effects of you creating a change could inspire others to do the same? You’ve probably heard the saying, if not now, when; if not me who? Let’s face it, now more than ever we need people who are bold enough to think they can change the world. In this episode, we’ll be challenging assumptions and shifting perspectives about just that and sharing ways you can make a difference. I’ll be sharing what influenced me to be a lifelong changemaker, aka disruptor at the tender age of 14 AND how it’s helped me create meaningful and lasting change that has transformed people’s lives in ways I could never have imagined. I have my ways of effecting change. However, there are many ways to invest in positive change, ways you might not even be aware of YET. If you’ve ever wondered how you, as just one person can make impactful change, you’ll want to stay tuned. I’m excited for you to meet my guest, Marcia Dawood. In her new book, “Do Good While Doing Well” Marcia shares there’s a way to invest for change, reap financial rewards, and increase your happiness. I know I want to learn more about how to make that happen. No time like the present to ponder new possibilities… to be the change we want to see in the world.

Ready to make a significant shift in your life? Kat believes that when "SHIFT HAPPENS," you can "MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN!" An inspiring shift can be magical when you allow yourself to pursue the life you really want, unapologetically. It opens a world of new possibilities. But wait. Does what you want feel impossible? What if "impossible" is just a story we tell ourselves? When doubt creeps in, it's time to give yourself permission to say, "Hell, YES!" to that thing that's stuck in your imagination, for fear it won't work or others will think you're crazy. It's never too late to make a shift, no matter what stage of life you are in. Yes, shifts can be disruptive. But what if disruption, and what you see as real and imagined constraints are key to a new life beyond what you think is possible? Kat and her guests provide hope, inspiration, reassurance, and encouragement. Their strategies and practical tools will help you on your transformational journey from "impossible" to "possible."
