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, Early Retirement & Lifestyle Design
Achieve Financial Independence & Have Fun Doing It
Pursuing financial independence, financial freedom, or early retirement often leads to the same questions: How do I become financially independent? How much should I save? What happens after I reach FI?

FI Minded helps you use money to create more freedom, without turning your entire life into a financial optimization project.

Host Justin Peters explores the decisions behind building a flexible, work-optional life, from reaching financial independence and navigating Coast FI and Slow FI to spending your money, changing careers, stepping away from work, and figuring out what comes after FI.

Each episode combines practical personal finance with conversations about early retirement, lifestyle design, work, spending, healthcare, self-employment, and life after financial independence. The goal isn't simply to reach FI as quickly as possible. It's to make progress toward financial freedom while actually enjoying your life along the way.

On FI Minded, you'll learn how to:
- Reach financial independence without burning out
- Build a flexible, work-optional lifestyle
- Navigate Coast FI, Slow FI, and other paths to FI
- Make smarter decisions about spending and saving
- Prepare financially and emotionally for early retirement
- Figure out what life can look like after financial independence
- Think through the tradeoffs behind major money and lifestyle decisions
- Make progress toward financial independence while actually living your life.
