If you want a new life, a stronger business, or a better future, you must first become someone who believes those outcomes are possible. In this powerful episode, Kati shares how changing her identity helped her overcome lifelong struggles, lose more than 100 pounds, and transform the way she leads and lives. Salon owners and leaders will learn how to replace limiting labels with empowering "I am" statements, trade "I should" for "I must," and take full ownership of their results. Tune in for an honest and motivating reminder that lasting change begins when you envision who you want to become—and consistently start living like that person today.
