Gratitude Before Abundance - When Your Kid Becomes Your Spiritual Teacher
This episode explores the subtle but powerful shift from scarcity to gratitude, especially when you’re in that uncomfortable in-between space of “I’m okay… but not fully secure.” Kaitlin unpacks how nervous system regulation, belief, and service all influence money and opportunity and how sobriety creates the space to hear divine guidance in everyday conversations.

• Feels financially stretched but not in crisis
• Finds themselves fixating on “what’s missing”
• Wants to align abundance with grounded spiritual practice
• Is learning how sobriety expands clarity and intuition
• Needs a reminder that growth doesn’t require rock bottom

Gratitude before abundance
Scarcity vs nervous system safety
Money as energy and value exchange
Surrender and aligned action
Sobriety as spiritual spaciousness

The Life You Build After You Stop Drinking - Interview with Ian Fee
In this episode, I’m joined by Ian Fee, author and entrepreneur, who has been sober since 2017.
Ian didn’t wake up in a jail cell or lose everything overnight. Instead, sobriety became a slow, honest reckoning with the damage alcohol was quietly creating in his marriages, his parenting, and his sense of self.
We talk about high functioning drinking, emotional sobriety, intense rehab, generational patterns, and what it really means to become present.
Ian shares how willingness, not catastrophe, changed his life, and how stacking small daily habits like gratitude, journaling, and accountability transformed him into the father, partner, and leader he always wanted to be.
Highlights:
(01:51) The first drink at 17 and the early normalization of alcohol
(07:31) When high functioning success masked deeper problems
(12:40) The third day in rehab that changed everything
(15:10) Getting served divorce papers and choosing sobriety anyway
(16:13) Sitting in the emotions instead of numbing them
(29:55) Daily gratitude and baby habits that rebuild a life
