    The Biological Reset That Changes Everything Part 2

    Summary: In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Katie sits down with Matthew Campbell, PhD, clinical psychologist and creator of the Primal Five framework, to explore why so many entrepreneurs feel chronically stressed, exhausted and overwhelmed despite living in the most convenient era in human history. Matthew explains that modern life has outpaced human evolution, and the five biological foundations our ancestors relied on naturally (sleep, sunlight, movement, connection and intentional consumption) are now things we have to consciously choose. When those foundations erode, no amount of mindset work can fully compensate. Katie and Matthew also dig into the hidden cost of news consumption and how our brains are wired to overestimate threat when constantly exposed to alarming content. Key Takeaways → Industrialization far outpaces evolution. We have the same bodies our ancestors had, now operating in a radically different world. → The five biological foundations (sleep, sunlight, movement, connection and intentional consumption) are not optional extras. They are the foundation everything else is built on. → Convenience is a short-term win with a long-term cost. The easier life gets, the less we use our bodies the way they were designed to be used. → Everything we consume is fuel, including the news, social media and digital content. What you consume shapes how your nervous system responds to the world. → Limiting news exposure is not being uninformed. It is protecting your nervous system. Matthew recommends a maximum of 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon. → Mindset strategies have limits when foundational biological needs are not being met. You cannot think your way out of sleep deprivation or loneliness.

    Sustainable Support: The Right Way to Make Your First Hire Part 2

    Summary In part two, Katie and Kate pick up the conversation by walking through Kate's 90-day Hire to Rise Roadmap — the exact process she uses to help solopreneurs find, vet, and onboard the right VA. They explore why rushing the hiring process always costs more in the long run, how conscious leadership creates a foundation of trust and collaboration, and how to handle VA mistakes with curiosity and compassion rather than reaction. Kate closes with a powerful reminder that has stuck with us: delegation is self-care. Takeaways The Hire to Rise Roadmap breaks the hiring process into three clear phases: assess, interview, and onboard.Hiring out of desperation leads to poor matches — take the time to get it right.Hire before you think you're ready whenever possible.Conscious leadership means approaching mistakes with curiosity rather than judgment.Creating a safe environment for mistakes fosters trust and long-term collaboration.Your VA will likely be harder on themselves over a mistake than you will be — lead with compassion.Responding instead of reacting as a leader sets the tone for the entire working relationship.Delegation is self-care — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.You don't need to have everything perfectly organized before hiring — just know how you do things now and what success looks like.

    Sustainable Support: The Right Way to Make Your First Hire Part 1

    Summary In part one of this episode of the Catapult Effect podcast, host Katie Wrigley speaks with Kate Lenihan, founder of Rise Hire Consulting, about how overwhelmed solopreneurs can find and hire the right virtual assistant. They discuss why the first VA hire often goes wrong, the importance of thorough onboarding, and how to evaluate whether your VA is truly moving the needle in your business. Kate also introduces the Eisenhower Matrix as a tool to help entrepreneurs prioritize tasks and stop treating everything as urgent. Takeaways Finding the right VA is crucial for entrepreneurs — skill set AND values alignment matter.Most first-time hires fail because entrepreneurs look for a "unicorn" instead of hiring for their most urgent need.Onboarding is the most important and most overlooked part of the hiring process.Deep, intentional interview questions and test tasks help uncover the right candidate.Regularly evaluate whether your VA is actually moving the needle in your business.Create a "future pace list" of tasks to delegate as the relationship grows.Not everything is urgent or important — use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize wisely.Taking a pause before making decisions leads to better outcomes.Where to find Kate Rise to Hire Website Rise to Hire on Instagram Resources WebsiteFree Mini Cogno MondaysLearn more about CognomovementTry Cognomovement for yourself!Book a call with Katie Credit: Tom Giovingo, Intro & Outro, Random Voice Guy, Professional ‘Cat‘ Herder Mixed & Managed: JohnRavenscraft.com Disclaimer: Katie is not a medical professional and she is not qualified to diagnose any conditions.
