Life & Business In Flow‪®‬ Kate Addamo

Life has an interesting way of teaching us important lessons.
 
Whether through grief, heartbreak, sadness, or losing someone or something close to your heart, life sure knows how to help us use that experience and learn from it to better ourselves.
 
When I lost my Mum to cancer, I learned a lot. I learned about who I am, what I’m here to do, and how I can take better care of not just myself but those around me too.
 
I shared conversations with her that I’d never shared before in all my life, and after her passing, I reflected on those conversations and just how profound they were.
 
Today’s episode was a hard one to record and my most vulnerable episode yet but it’s something that I know is so important to share with you.
 
I am here to bring women together, have those deeper conversations, and no longer live life on autopilot while putting our health on the back burner.
 
Life is precious and if there is anything I’ve taken away from those conversations with Mum, it is to just start. Start taking care of yourself now so that you can live a longer life for you and the ones you love.
 
This is the diagnosis that changed it all.

Today, I wanted to step back, take a breather, and settle into a period of reflection. Looking at what transpired over the first three months of 2024.
Reflecting on my Q1, I’ve come to realise that some of my to-do lists for my business just didn’t happen. And you know what? I’m okay with that. I’ve accepted that it’s okay to take the pressure off in quarter one as I step into a new year (especially after the year that was 2023). I stopped pushing the things that don’t matter right now and gave a gentle nudge to the things that do.
So, I want to ask… What did quarter 1 look like for you?
In today’s episode, I want you to reflect on your quarter 1 for 2024 as you look back at all you’ve achieved and what you’ve put on the backburner, whilst planning any much-needed shifts to your life, health, and business so that the year ahead not only feels good but will take you in the direction that you want to go in your life and business.
My retreat, Nurture: The Retreat Spring Edition is going on sale shortly. Make sure to add your name to the waitlist so you have first access. It’s an intimate retreat with only 8 spots available.

It’s no secret that I’m tired of the hustle culture, the boss-babe mentality, and the harmful messaging that social media seems to be consumed by of late.
 
It’s all about quick money, overnight success and going viral; if we’re not on the bandwagon, we’re failing. It’s making women feel like they constantly need to be more and do more to “show up”.
 
Authenticity is being replaced by trending. We’re giving too much energy to what everyone else is doing, and as a result, our authenticity and creativity suffer.
 
I’ve always known that I’m here to make a positive impact for all women, and to remind them that they are already enough, despite what social media says.
 
We can do things differently. We can change the message.
 
It's time to connect back to ourselves and reclaim our self-worth, on and offline.

One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned, not just in my business but in my life, is to embrace the balance of my masculine and feminine energies.
 
I grew up in a primarily masculine environment, being raised on a family farm where there was always something to do and not taking a moment to rest was considered normal or working in male-dominated industries full of hustle culture and competition. I had learned that working hard and sitting in my masculine was just a way of life.
 
I was taught by society that those who go hard and are in a constant state of busy are worthy of celebration as if it’s some badge of honour and what is defined as “success”.
 
For me, this resulted in extreme burnout.
 
Since then, I’ve been on a journey of self-discovery and learning more about what it really means to embrace your femininity, and in turn, balance both masculine and feminine energies in both my business and my life.
 
Join me in today’s episode as I take you behind the scenes of my life and the unexpected shifts that happened when I stepped more into my feminine flow.
 
It’s a beautiful dance and one I can’t wait to share with you.

It’s time to bring in a new era of the woman who’s connected, in alignment and doing things on her terms. Find out how I can support you on my website.

In today’s episode, I want to share the story of two Interior Design clients who’ve undergone massive transformations in their lives and businesses over the last 12 months.
 
They came to me burnt out and lost, running on empty, not sure what the next steps were in their business. They’d lost their spark, they were people-pleasing, and letting their clients cross boundaries. They were at a crossroads. Sound familiar?
 
Like so many women out there, they needed space to come up for air.
 
They’d bought into the whole “do more, be more” mantra, thinking that success needs to be hard and that you need to constantly be pushing and grinding.
 
But that’s not how we do things here.
 
Instead, they took a step back, slowed down, and reconnected with what matters most to them. Now? They’re happier, more grounded, and have space for the things they love such as gardening and cooking, being with loved ones, learning new skills, and creating new products and offerings, all while still making an income.
 
The transformation is like day and night.
 
And I want this for you, too.

I’ve noticed two different themes lately with the women and creatives that I work with. They are feeling the pull to either grow their business by expanding, rebranding, hiring, purchasing new equipment, investing, or renting office or warehouse space. Or slow down within their business by taking a step back, refining business foundations, focusing on family, well-being, and simplicity.
 
Over the past six years, I've personally experienced the ebb and flow, the moments of pushing forward and pulling back, focusing on the front-end or the back end of business, and being in creative mode vs. going with the flow. This resonates with the women and creatives I work with, sparking conversations on whether it's time to slow down or business growth.
 
Whichever direction you choose, a business needs a solid foundation first and a greater understanding of your finances.
 
By understanding your cash flow, budgets, and tracking your incoming and outgoing expenses, you’ll have the ability to forecast and plan from a more confident and empowered place.
 
It’s all about having the right tools in place to support you and give you back control.
 
Have the confidence, clarity, and knowledge around money that you deserve with In Flow to Grow – the cash flow planner that takes the stress, fear, and mental load out of finances so that you can stay confidently in control of your money, your business, and in seasons of wanting to grow or slow in your business.
