Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How a Mompreneur of 2 Reached 100 Million Podcast Downloads From Her Closet with Katie Krimitsos
[1:25] – Katie shares something she believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- You do not have to choose between success in your career and being there for your children. Many believe balancing both is challenging, but it is just a limiting belief.
[3:03] – Katie believes listening to your inner voice can lead you to success, even if it takes a while.
- She had a successful business but felt a solid intuition to start a women’s meditation podcast, even though it seemed unconventional.
- Despite doubts and the fear of leaving her comfort zone, she courageously followed her intuition and took action.
- By dropping her ego and trusting her inner voice, she found success and positively impacted women’s lives globally.
[6:11] – Katie believes that ego can be an enemy and that dropping our ego will allow us to see answers right in front of us, and she gives real-life examples.
- Your egos often leads you astray with self-doubt and irrational decisions. She experienced this when she ignored her intuition and signed an exclusive deal with a media agency that felt wrong.
- Despite an enticing offer, it was a mistake, resulting in missed opportunities and zero deals.
- This taught her the importance of distinguishing between ego and intuition and trusting her inner voice for better decision-making.

[14:32] – When faced with the desire to expand but feeling overwhelmed by the current workload, you advocate for asking yourself, “How can I?”…
- When Katie started her first podcast, she was pregnant, had a young child, and was managing another business.
- Despite feeling overwhelmed, she knew there was potential for growth. Over time, she transitioned to focus on the podcast, launching new shows, and expanding her content.
- It required asking herself “how” to overcome self-imposed limits and find creative solutions.
- Practical productivity tips include challenging beliefs, prioritizing meaningful tasks, and avoiding distractions that hinder progress.
[19:17] – Katie talks about practical ways to get the most important things done.
- Katie asks the question “how?” to balance her roles as a mom and an entrepreneur. To be productive, she focuses on both time management and energy management.
- Time management involves batching tasks, like recording multiple meditations in one sitting; energy management means capitalizing on the right mindset and energy for specific activities.
- For instance, she designates certain days for meetings to maintain a productive flow, and reserves other times for focused tasks like writing meditations.
[23:14] – Katie’s key takeaway.
- Listen to yourself and create your path as an entrepreneur. While it is valuable to learn from others, it is essential to process the information and determine what resonates with you.
[24:33] – Katie’s call to action.
