When It Comes to Big Decisions, Trust Your Gut I E10 Kate Holtz

Today’s guest is Kate Holtz, a good friend who I admire for her ability to follow through with scary decisions.

As a left-brain dominate, I’ve find sanctuary hearing that most of Kate’s big decisions are based on a gut feeling.

In this episode, Kate and I discuss her decision to go to Butler University, how she found herself in San Francisco post-college, and handling the transition to long distance dating.

This episode is perfect for those who find themselves overthinking decisions way too often.

 

Key Takeaways:

[4:41] How Kate’s upbringing affected who she is today

[15:35] How Kate made the decision to go to Butler University

[26:12] Kate’s choice to move to San Francisco and the challenges she had to overcome when doing that

[40:07] Handling long distance dating

[0:00] Advice when you’re seeking your first job

 

Favorite Quotes:

[10:54] My seventh grade brother called me bossy and that was definitely the tipping pointing where you start to realize you need to grow up and refine some of your characteristics

[13:28] Is there somebody else in the room that could do that better?

[19:58] There you go again thinking

[30:00] You know, I think I’m moving to San Francisco?

[46:53] You realize small things can make a big impact. You don’t have to do these grand gestures to make the other person feel loved.

About the Podcast

FI Minded - Financial Independence Without the Extremes
Achieve Financial Independence & Have Fun Doing It
Pursuing financial freedom, a work-optional lifestyle, or early retirement often leads to the same questions: “one more year,” “do I have enough?” “what does life actually look like after this?”

FI Minded helps you think like someone who’s already financially independent so you can make smarter decisions about how you work, spend, and live.

From Coast FI and Slow FI to lifestyle design, career transitions, healthcare, and self-employment, each episode explores the real decisions behind building a flexible, work-optional life…without burnout, over-optimization, or missing out along the way.

We cover:
* Smarter ways to reach financial independence (without burnout)
* Designing a flexible, work-optional lifestyle
* Coast FI, Slow FI, and enjoying your time along the way
* What life actually looks like after FI (and how to prepare for it)
* The tradeoffs behind big money decisions

Make progress toward financial independence while actually living your life.
