⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of a school-related trauma and threat of violence.

After a traumatic school incident, mindset coach Kate McCauley realized the system she loved could no longer hold the kind of transformation she knew was possible.

In this episode, I sit down with Kate—speaker and founder of The Champion Within—to talk about leaving a beloved role, building from the ground up, and creating lasting change in young people, one “village” at a time.

Kate is doing incredible work to uplift the teens and youth of America—not with quick fixes or surface-level motivation, but with practical tools, deep care, and a commitment to helping kids discover their own greatness.

We talk about:

✅ A traumatic school event that started a six-year internal shift

✅ The difference between competition and shared success in women

✅ Fun examples of how she helps high school athletes find their inner greatness

✅ Why failure is messy—but still a gift

Whether you’re facing a leap of faith or leading others through change, this episode is a fun conversation to listen in on—and a powerful reminder that real leadership starts from within.

✨ This episode's especially great for women leaders, coaches, and parents of teenage girls.
