    Things I Don’t Feel Guilty About Anymore (And Maybe You Shouldn’t Either)

    In this episode, we’re having a real, honest, girlfriend-chat conversation about guilt....the kind that so many women (especially moms) carry without ever questioning.

    I'm sharing a few things that I personally no longer feel guilty about that I think you are really going to resonate with you too! 

    This episode is part permission slip, part mindset shift, and part loving nudge to stop carrying things that were never yours to hold in the first place... can't wait to hear what you think! 

    Also as mentioned in this episode: 

    If you’ve been curious about getting into real estate investing....especially short-term rentals in Colorado (even if you're not local) this could be a powerful opportunity to explore.

    With multiple properties under contract (many with first-time investors), I'm SUPER passionate about helping people understand what’s actually possible for them so if you're interested in chatting more! 

    DM me on Instagram @kaciaghetmiri to set up a Zoom call and talk through your goals, vision, and next steps ;)

    You Are Not Your Worst Moment: Why We Judge Ourselves & OThers Too Harshly (+ How to Stop)

    How often do you judge yourself by your worst moment?

    One snap at your partner.
    One impatient moment with your toddler.
    One mistake in business.

    And suddenly your brain turns that single moment into a verdict about who you are.

    In this episode, Kacia shares a powerful perspective inspired by a quote from divorce lawyer James Sexton that reframes how we judge ourselves and the people we love.

    “If you judge me by my best parenting moments, you'd think I'm an amazing father.
    If you judge me by my worst parenting moments, you'd think I'm a monster.
    The truth is… I'm somewhere in the middle.”

    This conversation dives into why we often define ourselves and others by snapshot moments instead of patterns, and how that mindset quietly damages our self-talk, relationships, and confidence.

    Whether you're a mom, entrepreneur, partner, friend, or someone simply trying to grow — this episode is a reminder that you are not your best moment or your worst moment.

    You are the messy middle of thousands of moments in between.

    And that’s where real growth happens.

    If This Episode Resonated

    Share it with a friend who might be too hard on herself right now.

    Sometimes the most powerful reminder we can give someone is:

    You deserve to be on your own team.

    The Small Decisions That Quietly Change Your Entire Life

    In this episode, I’m diving into something that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately how the decisions that end up changing your entire life usually don’t feel big in the moment.

    So often we think our life is going to change because of one huge decision or one dramatic turning point. But when I look back at my own life;  my marriage, my career, starting empowerHER, investing in real estate .... the things that shaped everything were actually tiny decisions that compounded over time.

    In this episode, we talk about why you don’t need the entire plan to move forward, why curiosity can be enough reason to take action, and how small, mildly uncomfortable choices can quietly change the entire trajectory of your life.

    If you’ve been putting pressure on yourself to have everything figured out before you start, I think this conversation will feel like a bit of an exhale.

    A question to reflect on after this episode

    What small decision might quietly change your life right now?

    Maybe it’s starting something you’ve been thinking about.
    Reaching out to someone you admire.
    Applying for something you feel unqualified for.
    Having a conversation you’ve been avoiding.
    Or saying yes to something that scares you just a little.

    Whatever it is, you don’t need to have it all figured out.

     You just need to get the train on the tracks. Rooting so hard for you!

    The Hidden Cost of Being “The Strong One”

    Girl… this one is a heart-to-heart.

    If you’re the capable one.
    The ambitious one.
    The “she’ll figure it out” one.
    The fixer. The planner. The emotionally regulated one.

    This episode is for YOU.

    We don’t talk enough about the invisible pressure that comes with being “the strong one.” The identity we build around being high-capacity, high-performing, hyper-independent women.

    And the hidden cost that comes with it. 

    If you’ve ever felt like:

    • People don’t check on you because “you’re fine”
    • You don’t know who you are when you’re not producing
    • Your strength has become your safety
    • You’re emotionally exhausted but still high-functioning
    • You say “I got it” when you don’t actually want to

    This is your permission slip.

    Strength and softness coexist.
    Being capable doesn’t mean carrying it alone.
    Asking for help doesn’t make you weak — it makes you wise.

    You don’t have to prove your worth through pressure.

    And if this resonates?
    Send it to a sister. A best friend. The other strong one in your life. 

    DM me on Instagram and tell me what hit home. I love hearing from you.

    I’m rooting for you always.

    If I Had to Start From ZERO… Here’s Exactly What I’d Do

    What would you do if you had to start over from scratch?

    No audience.
    No email list.
    No Instagram following.
    No brand recognition.

    Just you & your experience with  a blank slate.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what I would focus on if I had to rebuild from zero in this current season of life (toddler mom, 20 weeks pregnant, limited time, big goals) and making it applicable to YOU and your juggle ;) 

    And spoiler alert… it’s NOT a logo.
    It’s NOT a website.
    And it’s definitely not trying to go viral.

    This is a tactical, no-BS business episode about what actually creates revenue, momentum, and confidence when you’re building something new.

    We’re Talking About:

    • Why you’re never truly “starting over”
    • The FIRST question I’d answer before building anything
    • How to get clear on who you’re for (and who you’re NOT for)
    • Why relationship capital > vanity metrics
    • The mistake of chasing viral content before revenue
    • How competence builds confidence (and trust)
    • Why revenue matters more than aesthetic
    • Simplifying your message so people can actually describe you
    • Protecting your energy while you build
    • Direction vs. speed (and why that matters in your season)
    • What I absolutely would NOT do if I was starting again
    • Permission to pivot when you realize you climbed the wrong mountain

    If you’re a new entrepreneur, a seasoned business owner in a pivot, or someone thinking about building something… this episode will feel like both a strategy session and a pep talk.

    And if you’re not building a business but you’re building something new in your life?
    This still applies.

    You are not starting from zero.
    You are starting from experience.

    I’m rooting so hard for you.

    The Power of Beginner Energy (Why It’s the Secret to Long-Term Success)

    We romanticize beginnings; new relationships, new routines, new ideas... but somewhere along the way, we start treating beginner energy like it has an expiration date.

    In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why beginner energy isn’t something you outgrow; it’s something you can choose, and how learning to access it (even when you’re no longer “new”) can completely change your momentum, joy, and results. 

    If you’re at the start line of something new or if you feel like you’ve been running on autopilot; this episode is for you.

    Key takeaway:

    Beginner energy is not about lack — it’s about aliveness. And you can bring it into anything.

     Listen now and let this be your reminder that the start line is magic and you don’t have to leave it behind.


    As mentioned in today's episode:

    Is the Juggle Really the Problem… or Is It Misalignment?

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a super real, unfiltered conversation about alignment and why it’s not always about ease, flow, or an empty calendar.

    I’m in a season of life where my plate is very full: I’m a toddler mom, pregnant with baby #2, supporting my husband’s fast-growing startup, and building a brand new real estate business. And yet… I feel more energized, less scattered, and more like myself than I have in a long time.

    In this episode, I talk about:

    • Why alignment is more about fit than ease
    • How adding something new can actually regulate your nervous system
    • Why the juggle isn’t always the problem — sometimes misalignment is
    • Letting go of who you thought you were supposed to be
    • Why structure can feel surprisingly energizing
    • Trusting that you don’t need to pre-solve the “how” before saying yes
    • Learning to tell the difference between what feels heavy because it’s wrong vs. unfamiliar
    • Giving yourself permission to evolve — even if it doesn’t match an old version of you

    This isn’t a strategy episode. It’s a heart-to-heart. And if you’re in a season where you’re craving something new but feel scared to add to your plate… this one is for you.

    Mentioned in this episode:

    • My children’s book available on Amazon, "The Big Oops"

    That’s THEIR Story, Not YOURS; All about Projections vs. Personal Truth

    In today’s episode, we dive into a topic that EVERY single one of us experiences; projections… aka the sneaky stories that other people hand to us about who we are, what we’re capable of, and what our life should look like.

    Most of us don’t struggle because of lack of ability… we struggle because of the stories we accidentally accepted as fact somewhere along the way. Maybe from parents, teachers, doctors, mentors, bosses, friends or random strangers on the internet.

    If you’ve ever been told you’re “too emotional,” “not ready,” “not practical,” “too ambitious,” “too much,” “not enough,” “bad with money,” or that motherhood will “slow you down”… this episode is going to hit home.

    Because your mom’s fears aren’t your destiny.
    Your boss’s limitations aren’t your blueprint.
    And your friends’ comfort zones aren’t your calling.

    Future YOU is not living inside other people’s projection, she's living inside your truth.

    I want that for you so badly… and I’m rooting SO hard for her.

    The Permission Slip You Didn’t Know You Needed

    This episode is a fiery pep talk about something we rarely talk about but desperately need: permission. Not strategy, not logistics but the internal green light we have to give ourselves before any clarity or action can happen.

    I'm breaking down the permission slips so many women are withholding from themselves  like permission to be human, want things, receive support, go after it, evolve, and speak truth — and why giving yourself permission FIRST is the prerequisite to any change or goal.

    Whether you’re pivoting, starting, restarting, or just trying to figure out what you want this year… this one's for you.

    Future-You Has Got This: A Pep Talk for Anxiety & Overthinking

    If you’ve been overthinking, or if you have anxiety spiraling about things a future version of you will one day handle, this episode will feel like  a big exhale. Today we’re talking about anxiety, uncertainty, and the wild ride of entering a new season when there are way more question marks than answers.

    Power Questions to Save: “Do I have enough information to solve this problem?” “Is future me more equipped than present me?” (Spoiler: yes.) “Am I mentally living in a moment I’m not actually in yet?”

    If you’re currently…

    • Waiting on clarity
    • Sitting in the unknown
    • Starting something new
    • Overthinking timelines
    • Trying to juggle the juggle

    …this is your reminder that you can handle hard things, you’re resourceful AF, and future-you is going to crush it.

    Are You CHOOSING… or Trying to PROVE Something?

    In this episode, we’re talking about something that’s been heavy on my heart lately the difference between proving energy and choosing energy.

    So many of us (especially ambitious women) move through life trying to prove:

    • that we’re capable
    • that we’re worthy
    • that we’re good moms
    • that we made the “right” career choices

    But proving is exhausting… and honestly, it can keep us stuck.

    What if this season of your life didn’t have to be about proving anything to anyone — and instead, it could be about choosing from desire, alignment, and self-trust?

    This is a real, honest, walk-and-talk style conversation — the kind you’d have with a friend on a long walk or over coffee.

    If you’ve been feeling stuck, conflicted, or caught in people-pleasing loops… this one’s for you.

    Reflection question to sit with:
    What would you do if nobody was clapping for you?
