She is inspiring us in her approach to living and running a business by showing us that every step she takes brings her closer to who she truly is.    Listen to the full episode, where we discuss: The impact of her cancer diagnosis in March 2020 How Katie has found purpose in life amongst trauma and fear The importance of making the most of our precious human experience  The power of self love and what it can mean for us How we can move away from our self critical habits How life goes on alongside a diagnosis and how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster this brings Seizing the moment whatever your situation to listen to what your heart wants and taking action How your business can flourish by fully being who you are This conversation isn't an easy one to tune into - but if you know me at all you'll know I'm not here just for the easy stuff.   This is an emotional yet inspiring episode that I hope supports you to not wait for a big life event to happen before you start to embrace yourself, love yourself and live a life filled with courage & purpose.   I hope you'll listen to this episode in full and then drop into my Insta DMs and let me know your thoughts.   Find the FULL SHOW NOTES here. __________________________________________ DOORS TO THE COLLECTIVE ARE OPEN NOW - https://www.kirstykianifard.com/collective __________________________________________   Katie Stevenson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkatiestevenson   _____________________________________________________ IF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, YOU MAY ALSO LIKE:    Finding Your Voice in Wellness with Carelle Rose https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/finding-your-voice-in-wellness-with-carelle-rose/id1455716065?i=1000545145991 A Client's Journey: From Finding You to Buying From You https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-clients-journey-from-finding-you-to-buying-from-you/id1455716065?i=1000554697545 __________________________   Say hi to Kirsty Kianifard on social: Clubhouse: https://www.joinclubhouse.com/@kirstykianifard Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kirstykianifard/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/KirstyKianifard Instagram: http://instagram.com/kirstykianifard
