We had the good fortune of connecting with Katie Sol and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Katie, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Impact, legacy, purpose are all words that came to my mind when I was in the inquiry of starting my own business. After 2 decades of grinding & hustling as a Fortune 100 executive I knew the ‘traditional path’ very well. Word hard, get a job, an MBA, get married, buy a house, have the kids … except all those things didn’t leave me feeling fulfilled. The left me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, burnt out and uninspired. So I consciously decided to trade in a life seeking external validation (promotions, accolades) for a life of internally nourishing myself. I designed my mystical life full of adventure, play, pleasure, flow and my life radically transformed. My personal transformation lead me to the business I lead today full of impact, legacy & purpose. Today I am a wayshower for others to create their ‘too good to be true’ lifestyle.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Living your ‘too good too be true’ life is 100% possible for you. Just a few years ago, I was navigating a grueling schedule as a Fortune 100 retail exec, active young kids, the family disease of addiction, the ending of a marriage and a habit of putting everyone else’s needs above my own — this lifestyle left me with a broken body, a foggy mind, and a disconnected soul. So if you are in a low, know I’ve been there too and I found my way back to wholeness and you can too. The way I found my way back to wholeness was coming into my truth over & over & over again and acting on it! I call this practice taking the elevator ride down from the mind (were my human self resides with the fears, worries and too do lists) and into my heart (where my divine self resides full of intuition and truth). As we learn to quiet the human mind and life from our heart we start to consciously create a new reality for ourselves. This is a huge key that radically transformed my life and a practice I teach in every course and every podcast episode. Consciously creating your reality by living from your heart is Mystical Living.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh I would make it a mystical day! Starting with setting an intention for our time together and letting the day flow from there. When we consciously call in our intention we open ourselves up to being surprised and delighted by the people, experiences & opportunities that come our way!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks & The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck were both instrumental for me to gain the courage to leap out of corporate America. From the Big Leap I learned I was operating in my zone of excellence in corporate America — I was financially successful, valued and people in my life felt safe with me in this zone. But then he shared the Zone of Genius and my whole body tingled — this was our big purpose, our mission in the world (and it didn’t always make the people in our lives comfortable!). I knew I had to experience life in my zone of Genius. The Way of Integrity was the icing on the cake that further confirmed for me I wasn’t living in my truth by staying small and in the box of conformity to keep other people in my life comfortable. As a single Mom taking a big leap away from a financially secure job into the unknown (to be in alignment with my truth) felt risky and I’ve been very fortunate to have friends, family & mentors that have cheered me on, even if when they didn’t fully understand why I had to make the leap. So if you have an risk taker in your life take a moment today to celebrate them! Big thanks to Gay and Martha too!
