In this episode I speak with my very good friend Kate Antoniotti about the decision to sell their home, cars, and thriving chiropractic practice so their family could travel the world and join a world school. The conversation centers on burnout, body trust, perimenopause, and the difference between staying in a life that looks good and choosing one that actually supports health, family, and soul. Kate shares how a year of inner work led her to recognize that she had built a life for everyone else, not for herself. Kim and Kate explore the cycles of feminine energy, the role of masculine structure in holding big decisions, and what it means to make choices that create grief, release, and freedom all at once.
