I'm thrilled to welcome you back to another episode of the Fierce Factor podcast! Today, we're diving into a topic that hits close to home for many of us: imposter syndrome. This episode is a replay of one of our most impactful episodes, and I'm excited to revisit it with you.
Imposter syndrome: It's that sneaky little voice in our heads that tells us we're not good enough, despite all evidence to the contrary. I've felt it, my clients have felt it, and chances are, you've felt it too.
In this bonus episode, I dive deep into the origins of imposter syndrome and its impact on our lives and careers. But here's the good news: I'm not just here to talk about the problem—I'm here to offer solutions.
From disputing negative thoughts to celebrating wins, I share practical strategies to help you break free from the grip of imposter syndrome. Through visualization and self-reflection, I'll guide you toward embracing your unique gifts and realizing your full potential.
Join me on this journey as we dismantle the barriers of self-doubt and step into our power. Remember, you're capable of achieving greatness—I'm here to remind you of that every step of the way.

Welcome back, Leader, to the Fierce Factor podcast! I've got something special for you this week – a bonus replay episode where we’re diving into something close to my heart: the pursuit of success versus the pursuit of fulfillment.
While this episode originally aired in 2022, its message rings truer than ever in today's fast-paced world. In my years of coaching business leaders, I've noticed a troubling trend: burnout, exhaustion, and a pervasive sense of disillusionment with one's own business. But why? It's simple – we've become consumed with comparison, constantly measuring ourselves against others and chasing some ill-defined notion of success.
Just take a scroll through Instagram – it's all there, the endless stream of accomplishments and happiness on display. But here's the thing about external validation – it's fleeting. And when it fades, we're left chasing after it once more, trapped in an exhausting cycle of striving for more.
So I challenge you, are you truly fulfilling yourself each day, or are you deferring happiness to some distant 'someday'?
In this replay of 'Success vs Fulfillment: How To Have It All,' we unpack the dichotomy between external accolades and inner peace. Join me as I explore the pitfalls of constantly seeking external validation and the importance of finding fulfillment in our daily lives. From the pressures of social media to the sobering lessons of palliative care, this episode challenges us to reevaluate our priorities and redefine success on our own terms. Get ready to challenge the status quo and embark on a journey toward authentic contentment. Tune in now and let's redefine what success really means.

Welcome back to the Fierce Factor Podcast, you're in for a treat as we dive into episode 209. I'm bringing you something special—a raw and unfiltered interview that captures the essence of our mission at KLC.
Picture this: After a long day of filming the cameras are being packed away, the hustle of the day is winding down, and I find myself on a couch with my team, casually discussing ALT, our upcoming live event in Newport Beach, CA. Little did we know, my mic was still on, capturing a candid conversation about why ALT came to be.
The 17 minute conversation that ensued was unscripted, unfiltered, and entirely unprepared for. I peel back the layers of my journey through corporate America, sharing frustrations about the status quo and the need for authentic voices in our industry. We talk about why so many dynamic women aren't seen on the biggest stages and the importance of amplifying their stories.
I'll admit, my views can be controversial, even costly at times, but I believe in staying true to my convictions, no matter the challenges.
My hope is that by sharing this conversation, you'll gain a glimpse into the discussions happening behind the scenes and find inspiration to embrace your own truth.
Xo, Kaeli
