Self-doubt led Katrena to ignore her gut, which cost her $30,000. But that painful decision became the foundation for one of the most important lessons of her life: your intuition is not just a whisper, it’s a compass. In this empowering episode, Katrena takes us through the transformational journey of reframing self-doubt, overcoming limiting beliefs, and learning to trust the wisdom within.
Rather than seeing self-doubt as an obstacle, Katrena reveals how it can be a powerful tool, one that points you toward growth, clarity, and alignment with your higher self. From battling the illusion of external validation to navigating the noisy distractions of modern life, this conversation is packed with practical insights, spiritual truths, and vulnerable stories.
You'll hear how Katrena began to decode her fear signals, shift from victim mode to empowerment, and discover that everything she needed was already within her. Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing, feeling disconnected from your intuition, or constantly second-guessing yourself, this episode will help you reframe your inner dialogue and start trusting your higher self.
