Welcome to a brand new episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In today’s interview episode, I am joined with business coach and podcaster Katie Grimes, a powerhouse who specializes in helping women entrepreneurs break free from people pleasing patterns, perfectionism, and the fear of being “too much.”
In this powerful conversation, Katie Grimes talks about her own journey from corporate America to launching her coaching business, the transformative power of setting boundaries, and how she guides clients to step confidently into leadership without shrinking themselves down to fit anyone else’s expectations. We also hear about her bold new adventure: selling almost everything she owns and moving to Europe for four months in pursuit of growth, healing, and the extraordinary life she has always dreamed of.
Tune in for real talk about bravery, building a business that serves your life (not the other way around), and how embracing your bossy, “too much” self might just be the key to your next breakthrough.
Key Takeaways:
- Over explaining and people pleasing don’t serve us or our clients. As Katie Grimes reminds us,communication that’s honest and direct is a true act of service.
- Whether it’s switching from relationship to business coaching, or making a bold decision like moving to Europe for four months, your intuition and self trust are your greatest assets.
- Taking big leaps will always bring up discomfort, grief, and doubt. The real power comes from doing it anyway and allowing support, gratitude, and trust to guide you through uncertainty.
Episode Quote:
"Who did you grow up with? Who taught you that you had to put everyone else's needs before your own? It was likely a mom or some female figure because it's a maternal pattern that we see and we are here to change that.” - Katie Grimes
