We’re kicking off the Multifamily Streamlined podcast relaunch with a powerhouse guest who proves that authenticity isn’t soft, it’s strategic. A former corporate CEO turned authenticity aficionado (often called “The Mel Robbins for business”), she shares the moment her fear of staying became greater than her fear of leaving, how giving herself space to experiment changed everything, and why “leveling up” has nothing to do with traditional success metrics. We dig into her groundbreaking 50% Rule, self-determination theory, and how bringing your 50% is the key to motivation, momentum, and sustainable success at work and in life.

At 28, with two young children, our guest felt exhausted and was told by her doctor that it was normal. She refused to accept this as her reality. In this inspiring episode, she shares her journey of reclaiming her energy and health and reminds women that it’s never too late to reach their fitness goals. We dive into how to create plans that fit into your life, shift your mindset from sacrifice to empowerment, and how motivation can reshape the way you show up in life.

Coach Katie Woodall is 43 years old, and hasn't always loved eating healthy and exercising! When she was 28 and had only 2 young children at the time, she had zero energy to care for her family. She remembers going to the doctor concerned and him looking at her in the face and telling her this was normal. She refused to accept that as her new norm!

A friend started a personal training business around that time so she signed up and trained with her once a week. Slowly, she started noticing muscles she'd never seen before and her energy dramatically increased! It lit a fire in her! She wants to encourage other women to move their bodies and eat healthier!

So she started teaching group fitness and that was over a decade ago! Now, she trains women from her home studio and obtained her transformational macro coaching certification last summer and started her own coaching business - Aspire Fitness and Nutrition!

She wants women to know it's never too late to reach their health and fitness goals!

• Why we must step out of our comfort zones.
• Shifting our mindsets to what are we willing to do for ourselves.
• Showing up as if we've already achieved our goal.
• How even coaches need coaches.
• The importance of how we speak to ourselves and how we show up differently if we are motivated.
• Why 5 minutes is better than nothing at all.
