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.
