Welcome to the podcast the incredible Kim Trathen, a multiple times member of the BIG Happy Money mastermind who is on the show to discuss the impact of doing deep inner work that inevitably affects and appears in your business, AND ALSO to show you what’s possible even if you’re a busy busy busy entrepreneur – Kim has grown a multiple six figure business in four years with a day job (until she quit!), three ADHD boys in sports, and a healthy marriage.

Kim is allowing you to get up close and personal with so many parts of her story in this episode. You’ll hear about:

  • How the death of her close friend led to a decade of guilt and shame, and how she started to move past it

  • How she included her children in the growth of her business and why she pays them bonuses

  • Why she’s such a fierce advocate for women to gain independence

  • Why rescheduling an event was the best thing for her AND the clients on the call

  • The sneaky self-sabotage of having multiple mentors

  • Women’s intuition and the revolution of trusting it without having to explain yourself
