How to stop caring what people think… Ok ok, so

How to stop caring what people think…

Ok ok, so you don’t actually stop caring buttttt you can care LESS & stop letting it influence your decisions 😉

Here’s what I mean:

We’re all human and it’s actually hardwired in us to care because it allows us to live. When you’re accepted by the community, it gives you access to food, shelter & resources. Think back in the day, you had to be accepted by your tribe to SURVIVE.

Yes, times have changed but our brains don’t know it.

Here’s the cool thing. You can train your brain to care LESS & with time it becomes so much easier. When you hear people say “I don’t care what people think”, what they actually mean is they’re not letting others’ opinions dictate their own. They hear the other opinion, some might even be hurtful, but then they trust their gut and go do what they wanted anyways.

When an opinion comes up, start to train the brain & ask yourself 👉🏼

▪️ Is what they said about me true?
▪️Have they done what I’m trying to do?
▪️Do they lead by example and walk the walk?
▪️Do I care enough to give it energy, time & attention?
▪️If hurtful, can I tell them how their opinion makes me feel?

This might feel uncomfortable at first & you might think of this after the fact, but that doesn’t mean you should stop. Keep questioning, keep analyzing, keep creating awareness & you will get better!

I read a quote yesterday & it resonated so much…

I read a quote yesterday & it resonated so much…

A healthy relationship is one where two independent people make a deal that they will help make the other person be the best version of themselves” - Lewis Howes

For context, Bert and I have been dating each other since high-school, it’s been 13 YEARS. This is not to toot our own horns, we’ve had many many challenges and low points. However, it’s safe to say we’ve learned a thing or 2 over the years 😊

So let’s break this down. What does independent mean?

▪️An independent person is someone who is self-reliant and self-sufficient. They are able to make decisions and take actions without having to rely on others for guidance or help. They are able to create their own path and take responsibility for their own actions and outcomes. They are confident in their own abilities and do not feel the need to conform to the expectations or opinions of others.

So an independent person is a whole person, by themselves.

They don’t need a partner, but they want a partner. Huge difference!

This is why the inner work is so important. Not just for you but to set yourself up for future relationships (this is romantic, friendships, coworkers, family, etc).

If you feel like your relationships are rocky, unstable, lonely, unhappy, etc. - here’s your reminder that now’s the time to focus on YOU.

I'm not a huge fan of transformation photos anymor

I'm not a huge fan of transformation photos anymore.

Here's why: transformation photos highlight the outer transformation but how in the world do you show the INNER transformation? (Swipe 👉🏼)

The above photo is the best way I could try to communicate my inner transformation.

On the left, I was 24 years old and I was so insecure in my body. I towered over everyone at 5'11 and just wanted to fit in. I would hunch my shoulders, buy shoes too small, dress to hide my body, drink every weekend and wouldn't eat much in front of others. While I couldn't shrink my height, I discovered that I had control over my weight so while I tried every diet possible, they were all very restrictive and I started to binge eat. I felt bloated, tired and much more insecure.

I then went to a Tony Robbins seminar. Little did I know, my insecurity with my height was rooted in nothing other than perspective. I realized this perspective wasn't even mine. It was learned from my mom, my dad, my classmates, society, you name it. They made me feel "too big" and by societal standards, smaller meant beautiful.

Maybe your insecurity isn’t body image, but maybe it’s one of the following:
▪️where you went to college
▪️where your parents went to college
▪️parents didn’t go to college
▪️where you grew up
▪️how you were raised
▪️what your voice sounds like
▪️the house you were raised in
▪️where you live now
▪️who your siblings/friends are
▪️your past failures or disappointments
▪️your past decisions or regrets

The list goes on and on.

Regardless of what your insecurity is, there’s a story you’re choosing to believe which comes down to “I’m not good enough”.

When you shift your perspective & rewrite your story, you believe you are worth it. Worth taking the risk, taking chances, living boldly, speaking up.

That’s the girl you see on the right. Shoulders back, smiling more, making eye contact, comfortable in her own skin.

If it’s possible for me to change, it’s possible for you!

You guys…this message brought me back to 26 year

You guys…this message brought me back to 26 year old Katja 🥹…

Just 5 years ago, I lived in LA & worked for a tech company. Loved the company but I personally was over LA. My friends, my coworkers, my daily routine, etc just felt old & like I settled for a mediocre life. Felt like it didn’t serve me anymore. I felt like I had outgrown the version of Katja that was shy, quiet & cared what people thought. Quite honestly, I wanted to SHINE in my world but my current reality didn’t allow for that.

Soooo I put it out in the universe that I will be moving. I didn’t know if it would be down the street or to a different country but I was ready to receive! 💫

Sure enough, I received 2 opportunities. One option was to live in Thailand for a year and teach English with my bestie or the 2nd option was to move to Chicago with Bert for my tech company but for a remote opportunity & a pay raise. After lots of pros/cons lists & tears, I chose Chicago.

By no means was this change or decision easy. It was SO hard…

Saying goodbye to my friends/family, damaging the relationship with my co-workers, choosing a city where I didn’t know anyone & jumping into the unknown with nothing but blind faith.

Sure enough, Chicago became my playground. I explored freely. I went to new events, met new people & was able to show up as a new version of Katja: bold, confident, happy & carefree.

Moving to Chicago was the best change I could’ve ever made.

It removed me from my old environment that wasn’t serving my deepest desires & dreams & placed me in a new environment where I could follow my deepest desires & dreams.

But at the end of the day, I still had to decide to change. I had to make the hard decision, go through the emotions & CHOOSE MYSELF.

If any of this resonates with you, let this be your sign that your heart is ready for change. Maybe it’s not a cross country move for you…but it’s something! Something bold & something you’ve been putting off or afraid to do.

Make a decision right now and join us for The Big Shift. Shift your perspective, feel supported by community & learn that you can do ANYTHING you put your mind/heart too!
