What do you get when you raise a girl in the Arizona desert with 5 siblings, a strong matriarchal mom, a soft-spoken feminist dad, and an innate desire to LIVE BIG? You get Katie Krimitsos - an ever-curious woman who continues her evolution as a loving being of light - who is having fun being a mom, wife, creator, and friend in this life. Whose softness and wisdom have often come as the result of painful experiences. Whose ego is always trying to get the best of her. Who's deeply in love with a Greek man she's definitely known in another life. Who's lived through 12-step programs, athletics, and half a dozen businesses. Who creates meditations for women as songs to light their souls and wants to save all the animals of the world. She believes life keeps on getting better the older she gets. And so far, she's right. ;) This is Katie’s third time on the show. I keep inviting her back because she is always a good time and always full of so much insight that moms can immediately put into action in quick & simple ways that have big impact.  Listen in to hear Katie share: How she listened to her own fears and worries as well as the world’s fear and worries in order to create meditations for women during the pandemic How listening to her intuition has led her to success over and over again - and how anyone can do this Specific steps you can take to develop a stronger sense of self-trust How to build your “self-trust wings” in motherhood A breakdown of what meditative practices can look like and how to integrate meditative practices that you actually enjoy, while learning to listen inward  The power of the pause in meditation and the space it opens up The value of guided meditation, especially for those who struggle to sit in silence How to use (simple and brief) meditative practices to separate yourself from the noise of the world How to lean into self-trust to do things differently and give yourself permission to live an unscripted life   Links mentioned: Katie’s Gratitude Giveaway: Leave a review for The Women’s Meditation Network to enter Katie’s Gratitude Giveaway Connect with Katie and the Women’s Meditation Network: womensmeditationnetwork.com Follow The Women’s Meditation Network on IG Follow Katie on IG   Sponsor info and promo codes: Please find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/ Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
