Any goal you plan to actually achieve must start in the heart and in the head before it’s ever visible to the outside world. Amazing women like this week’s guest, Katie Jenks, knows all about that journey.

Katie is sharing all about how the heartbreak of a miscarriage, the chaos of household clutter, and the overwhelm of debt brought her into a journey that eventually changed her entire life. While working through the hard realities of life Katie found her inner and outer strength. Now, she’s inspiring women with her incredible 100+ pound weight loss, and her bright smile and positive outlook on life.

 
 

IN THIS EPISODE, SAMI + KATIE CHAT ABOUT:

  • Katie’s journey through decluttering, budgeting, and getting healthy

  • From 270 LBS to a body-building bikini competition

  • The ripple effects of intentional living

  • How working through Minimalism and a Debt-Free Journey showed her that any other goal was possible
