She discusses the importance of experiencing both sides of the equation—being a student and a teacher—to truly understand what works and what doesn’t. With relatable anecdotes and a humorous touch, Katie emphasizes that admitting your limitations and seeking guidance can enhance your ability to serve clients effectively. Tune in to discover how self-awareness and continuous learning can elevate your entrepreneurial journey.

In this episode of the Weeniecast, “How Desperation Fuels Manifestation” we're talking about 'burning the ships' as a metaphor for going all in with your goals and dreams.

By looking at historical anecdotes, personal stories, and some well-known examples from pop culture, I explore how this all-or-nothing mindset can push you towards success when you’re backed into a corner.

This episode kicks off with a Sean Connery impression but don't get it twisted!

We're taking manifestation - real manifestation that is - very seriously here.

Using Hernán Cortés' extreme method of motivating his men by burning their ships, I draw parallels to how desperation can lead to powerful moments of manifestation that change your life and career trajectory.

Throughout the episode, you'll learn how to harness the potential of desperate situations to manifest what you truly desire.

I discuss the common misconception that manifestation is akin to making a wish list for the universe, and instead, I focus on the importance of intuitive actions and being open to unplanned paths.

I share my own experiences, from volunteering for redundancy to managing a yarn shop, and how these seemingly trivial or desperate decisions opened doors I never could've predicted.

You'll also hear about how iconic figures like Oprah and Elizabeth Gilbert used moments of desperation to switch gears and find profound success, illustrating that sometimes, it takes hitting rock bottom for true clarity and opportunity to emerge.

By the end of the episode, you’ll be better equipped to recognize and act upon those moments of desperation, transforming them into catalysts for manifesting your dreams.

No longer will you feel paralyzed by fear or failure; instead, you'll understand how to leverage these moments to find novel paths to success.

HI, Katie McManus here.

It's time for us to have a dialogue about the challenges faced by individuals in the wake of political events that have adversely affected marginalized communities.

We have to recognize the fear and anxiety that many of us are grappling with and understand the vital importance of self-care in these tumultuous times.

We need to step up and be effective advocates for others.

But first we need to prioritize our own well-being.

And that's what this episode is about.

I thank you in advance for listening.

Are you constantly asking strangers on the internet to define your success?

Hi, I’m Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach.

On this episode of The Weeniecast, I’m asking if you're letting Google dictate what success should look like for you.

That needs to change.

It's time to break free from societal norms and craft your own definition of success.

Many of us have asked, "Why can't I be successful?"

Usually, after a setback or when the fear of even trying takes hold.

By relying on external benchmarks rather than defining success on our own terms, we set ourselves up for disappointment and confusion.

I’ll share my own journey of shifting from an “ideal self” to my “favorite self.”

This shift not only redefined my personal criteria for success but also amped up my happiness and fulfillment.

Listening to this episode, you'll pick up some actionable insights on redefining what success means to you personally, how to align it with your values and passions, and some myth-busting around wealth and doing good in the world.

Time to stop taking cues from Google searches and start crafting a path that resonates with who you truly are.

By the end of this episode, you’ll not only have the tools to define success on your terms but also feel more aligned and motivated to pursue your aspirations.

Make this the moment you shift from being dictated by societal norms to living by your own meaningful path.

Listen in and let’s redefine what it means to be successful, together.

I remember the first time I heard the term "imposter syndrome."

I was a young business strategist trying to break into an industry packed with so-called "gurus" and experts.

The term felt like a diagnosis of a condition I’d been suffering from silently my entire career.

In this episode, we're going to dig into what these gurus won’t tell you about imposter syndrome, especially when you have ADHD.

Hi, I’m Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on this pervasive issue and giving you real strategies to overcome it.

Every entrepreneur hits new milestones.

You might go from zero to $5,000 a month, and suddenly, that goalpost moves to $10,000.

But guess what?

The moment you hit $10,000 a month, you're gleeful for about five minutes before you experience what I call a “10k meltdown.”

Your success becomes the new normal, and the pressure to maintain it mounts.

And with ADHD in the mix, the self-doubt and constant need to measure up can be debilitating.

We're conditioned to seek external validation in an environment that offers no grades or lunchroom invitations.

So how do you break free from a cycle designed to make you feel like an imposter?

That's what we're exploring in this episode.

Once you’ve listened, you’ll learn critical strategies like embracing your authentic self and facing fears head-on.

Instead of waiting for the world to tell you how good you are, you’ll understand why it’s crucial to cultivate internal self-worth.

Empowering yourself isn’t just about getting rid of imposter syndrome; it’s about stepping into your power, making bold moves, and letting your unique qualities shine.

By the end of this episode, you won't merely be informed; you'll be equipped to transform your mindset and scale your business without letting self-doubt hold you back.

00:00 Success triggers imposter syndrome, especially with ADHD.

04:58 Imposter syndrome stems from broken confidence training.

07:36 External validation doesn't determine self-worth.

11:47 Don't let fear control your business visibility.

16:19 Be authentic to help clients and yourself.

19:06 Embrace uniqueness, overcome imposter syndrome confidently.
