Getting Out of Your Own Way

Kate Kahl Season 1 Episode 14

In this episode, I’m diving into the real reasons we hold ourselves back — and how to move through them. From procrastination and excuses to fear of failure (and even fear of success), I share my personal journey of reclaiming my health and fitness after kids and the mindset shifts that made all the difference. If you’ve ever said, “I don’t have time,” or “It’s too late for me,” this one’s for you.

We’ll talk about how to:

  • Break through common excuses
  • Create simple habits that stick
  • Set powerful, motivating goals
  • Recognize the hidden fears that keep you stuck
  • Build self-trust through action

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally start creating the life (and energy) you want — let’s do it. This is your reminder that it’s not too late, and you’re more capable than you think.

Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Kate opens up about her personal journey with procrastination, excuses, and taking ownership of her health and fitness after having two kids. She shares how easily we can self-sabotage with excuses like "I don’t have time," "I can’t afford it," or "It’s too late for me." Through honest reflection, she explores how shifting mindset, planning ahead, and simplifying daily decisions can create lasting habits.

She talks about:

  • Excuses we tell ourselves — including not having time, money, or energy.
  • Procrastination traps — like scrolling or overcommitting instead of prioritizing what really matters.
  • Daily mindset hacks — like laying out workout clothes the night before and using apps like ClearSpace to reduce screen time.
  • The power of small steps — starting with two workouts a week or doing yoga as a fallback option.
  • The importance of goals and vision — like her personal goal to feel her best by age 40, and visualizing herself feeling strong, confident, and radiant at her 40th birthday party.
  • Understanding fears — from fear of failure and fear of success, to fear of judgment from friends or feeling unsupported.
  • Accountability and planning — how telling your loved ones and organizing your environment helps keep you on track.
  • Reconnecting with self-trust — reminding yourself that you can follow through, and building your confidence through consistent action.

Kate encourages listeners to choose a date, make a plan, and commit to themselves — not from a place of pressure, but from a place of empowerment. She wraps up by affirming that it’s never too late to make a change, and the best way to start is to start small, start soon, and set yourself up for success.
