321 | feeling behind? your permission slip to let go of the timelines & start trusting yourself w/ katy saltsman
40m | Aug 24, 2026Hey friend, do you feel like you "should" be further along or like life "should" look a certain way by now?
Today's episode is an interview with Katie Saltsman, women's health coach & host of the Crying Burns Calories Podcast, for a conversation that will hit different if you've felt like you're behind.
Katie talks about how she left a life behind that looked good on paper, but deep down she knew wasn't for her. She packed up and moved across the US to a new city where she didn't know anyone.
We talk about:
- the difference between a life that makes sense and one that actually is FOR you
- how to break free from timelines that were never actually ours to begin with
- how to find yourself again after years of people pleasing
If you're in a season of feeling behind or lots of question marks, this one's for you, love.
