    #48: Before the Next Chapter: Making Peace with the Messy Middle & Trusting Your Becoming (with Adrienne Swanson)

    As 2025 comes to a close and the next chapter begins, this episode is an invitation to pause—right in the middle of the becoming. In this honest, grounded conversation, Katie sits down with fellow coach Adrienne Swanson to explore what it really looks like to navigate seasons of change that don’t feel clear, clean, or comfortable. From business evolution to motherhood, identity shifts, and those in-between moments where certainty is nowhere to be found, this is a conversation for anyone who has wondered: “Am I lost… or am I just in transition?” Together, two coaches reflect on: Making peace with the messy middle instead of rushing through itWhy uncertainty doesn’t mean you’re off trackTrusting yourself when the old chapter no longer fits, but the new one hasn’t fully arrivedNavigating transitions in business, motherhood, and personal identityHow core values quietly guide us—even when things feel messyLetting this season shape you, rather than judging itThis episode feels like the kind of conversation you might pay good money to sit in on—but instead, it’s offered as a gift. A moment of reflection. A deep exhale. A gentle guide as you close out 2025 and step toward 2026 with more trust, compassion, and clarity. If you’re standing at the edge of a new chapter—without a clear map—this conversation will remind you:  You’re not behind. You’re becoming. ✨ Perfect to listen to as you reflect on the year behind you and reconnect with what truly matters moving forward. messy middle, life transitions, trusting yourself, end of year reflection, next chapter, becoming, women in transition, coaching conversation, business and motherhood, personal growth podcast Katie Ruppert is a transformational coach who helps women trade overwhelm and striving for more peace, energy, and ease.

    #43: Trusting your Inner Wisdom when Logic Says "No" with Carol Baker

    In this interview, Katie sits down with Carol Baker for a vulnerable and energizing conversation about leaving the corporate world, navigating spiritual nudges, and learning to trust the body’s wisdom even when the mind resists. Carol shares how she went from a high-powered tech job to following a path marked by dreams, synchronicities, tarot cards, feng shui, and intuition — all while questioning whether she was “making it up.” Together, Katie and Carol explore: What happens when your body fires you before you fire your jobWhy intuitive gifts often show up quietly, long before we’re ready to admit itThe way dreams and synchronicities guide our next right stepHow to follow the pull of something new even when it makes zero logical senseWhat spiritual awakening feels like from the insidePermission to let your life unfold instead of forcing clarityThis conversation is for anyone who has ever wondered:  “Is this real, or am I imagining things?”  “Why does it feel harder and harder to stay in this version of my life?”  “How do I trust my gifts when they don’t fit the life I’ve built?” Links Mentioned: Connect with Carol for a Cosmic Soul Chart: carol.baker@sightlinecom.com  Submit your question here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyLBzk_hI47W18RukxScw1rti0BqUYRHbwx8mM2Pt_zV-AMg/viewform?usp=header Katie Ruppert is a transformational coach who helps women trade overwhelm and striving for more peace, energy, and ease.
