Do you ever feel like you're carrying a ton of bricks around, trying to maintain the appearance that you have it all together? Today's guest speaks to us today about removing that shiny, perfect mask and unlearning all the lies we tell ourselves. Comparison is a thief, and Kat Harris is tired of it.

 Kat believes in the power of story, that done is better than perfect, quality triumphs quantity, and that every opportunity is an opportunity for growth if we choose it to be.
