• Ep. 28: Built From Scars, Not Spreadsheets: Why Smart Women Walk Away From “Perfect” Deals
    Feb 13 2026

    This episode is for the woman who has done well—and refuses to be misled.

    In this powerful Real Talk conversation, Katie Kim sits down with oil and gas fund manager Courtney Moeller to unpack what happens when a deal goes sideways—and how disciplined investors respond.

    Courtney shares the truth behind losing millions in a deal that collapsed, the red flags most investors miss, and why the smartest women in the room are often the ones willing to walk away.
    This is not hype.
    This is not “how to get rich.”
    This is about standards, strategy, and stewardship.

    If you’ve ever thought:
    “I’ve worked too hard to risk it all now.”
    “I want alternatives, but I want control.”
    “I need clarity before I commit.”

    This episode will change how you evaluate opportunities forever.
    Inside this conversation:
    - The difference between confidence and blind optimism
    - What real due diligence sounds like behind closed doors
    - Why communication matters more than projections
    - The emotional aftermath of losing investor capital
    - The non-negotiable criteria Courtney now uses before saying yes

    Because the long game of capital isn’t about perfection.
    It’s about integrity.

  • Ep. 27: From Law to Location Freedom: How She Used Leverage Without Losing Control
    Feb 6 2026

    Most women aren’t afraid of hard work.

    They’re afraid of making the wrong move with money — of locking themselves into a deal they can’t unwind.

    In this episode, Katie Kim sits down with Stephanie Cabral, real estate investor, operator, and creator of PAM — an AI-powered maintenance platform built for owners who value control and clarity.

    Stephanie didn’t chase real estate. She sequenced her way into it — using leverage intentionally, building guardrails early, and prioritizing systems over stress.

    Learn more about PAM here:
    👉https://choosepam.ai/

    This conversation is about:
    - Using leverage without losing control
    - Why your first deal needs more guardrails, not fewer
    - When to say no — even to “good” deals
    - The hidden cost of self-managing without systems
    - Why financial freedom happens in levels, not leaps

    This is not hype.
    This is what strategic growth actually looks like.

  • Ep. 26: You’re Not Behind—You’re Poorly Positioned: Why Growth Feels Harder at the Next Level
    Jan 30 2026

    If growth feels heavier right now, you’re not behind—you’re entering a new level. In this episode of Real Talk with Katie Kim, Katie explains why focus gets harder before it gets clearer, especially for high-performing women who are scaling businesses, wealth, and leadership.

    This is not a mindset conversation. It’s a strategic one.

    Katie breaks down:
    - Why you’re not supposed to know the rules of the next level yet
    - How action without position creates pressure
    - What strategic women do differently when growth feels uncertain
    - The one foundational tool she uses every year before making capital decisions
    - She’s also offering a birthday gift: access to her Personal Financial Statement module for just $47—designed to help you enter February grounded instead of guessing.

    If leadership has started to feel reactive instead of strategic, it’s not a motivation problem — it’s a positioning problem.

    When you don’t clearly know your financial position, every decision costs more energy than it should. That’s when capable women start second-guessing moves they’re fully qualified to make.

    🔍 I’ve made my Personal Financial Statement (PFS) available with a February-only discount so you can see your position clearly — without judgment, pressure, or guesswork.

  • Ep. 25: Why Focus Feels Hard - When You Don’t Know Your Financial Position
    Jan 23 2026

    If focus feels harder than it should — even with success, systems, and discipline — this episode explains why.

    Focus doesn’t break down because you lack willpower. It breaks down when you’re making decisions without a clear financial position. Without context, every decision feels heavier, riskier, and more exhausting than it needs to be.

    In this episode, Katie Kim breaks down the difference between productivity and strategic focus, why clarity stabilizes leadership, and how understanding your financial position moves you from reacting
    like an operator to deciding like an owner.

    If you don’t clearly know your financial position, every decision costs more energy than it should.

  • Ep. 24: Clarity is the Growth Strategy: Why Focus Beats Expansion at Every Level
    Jan 16 2026

    If your business is working—but feels heavier than it used to—you didn’t fail. You outgrew the structure.

    In this solo episode of Real Talk with Katie Kim, Katie pulls back the curtain on a truth many high-performing women business owners face at their next level: growth doesn’t break your business—unfocused growth does.

    This episode is about focus—not as limitation, but as control.

    Katie shares how The Kim Group revisited its own clarity while pursuing a bold, long-term vision, why complexity is earned but cannot become a hiding place, and how intentional focus becomes the most powerful growth strategy available.

    Through real client stories and lived experience, she explains why adding more offers, services, or “shiny squirrels” often dilutes momentum—and how an assessment-first approach creates calm, confidence, and bank-ready clarity.

    This isn’t about doing more.
    It’s about doing what matters—clearly, intentionally, and with confidence.

    ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS
    00:00 – 00:27 Focus forces honesty (why clarity is uncomfortable first)
    00:27 – 00:48 This isn’t about doing more (it’s doing the right thing on purpose)

    03:51 – 04:33 Red carpet, full-service support (and why that can overwhelm)
    04:33 – 05:19 Scarcity mindset: “If I focus, I’ll lose opportunity”

    06:17 – 07:23 Custom roadmap + the “bathing suit conversation” (bear it all)

    08:04 – 08:44 Shiny squirrels + clarity comes from subtraction
    08:44 – 09:32 Accountability call: profitable core got diluted
    09:32 – 11:04 If it feels heavier: did you break it or outgrow it?

    11:42 – 13:16 Holiday story: mold issue, 48-hour turnaround, and “path to peace”
    13:16 – 14:23 The “I’m already pregnant” call + the “crazy or brilliant” idea call

    18:45 – 20:50 The assessment isn’t a quiz or gimmick Why it’s being beta-tested

  • Ep. 22: FOCUS 2026 — How to Cut the Noise and Return to Clarity
    Jan 2 2026

    As we step into 2026, this is not another “new year, new goals” episode.
    This is a spiritual reset.
    A strategic recalibration.
    A call back to the voice you’ve been too busy — or too burdened — to hear.

    In this episode, Katie Kim brings you into a moment of divine clarity.
    She confronts the truth ambitious women rarely admit:
    You don’t struggle with focus. You struggle with noise.
    And noise is the enemy of alignment.

    For the woman who leads, builds, carries, and loves deeply —
    this is the message that restores your vision and recenters your soul.

    You will walk away understanding:

    - Why your spirit feels crowded
    - Why your vision feels divided
    - Why your pace feels punishing
    - And how to step back into the calling God never revoked — only waited for you to return to

    This is focus as God designed it:
    clarity, peace, obedience, pruning, presence, and the courage to choose one thing with conviction.

    If you are entering 2026 with the desire to simplify, align, and rise —
    this is your word.

    🕓 Timestamps:
    00:00 Focus as direction, not discipline
    00:27 A kind of focus that brings peace, not burnout
    00:53 Why this message was prepared through Advent
    01:19 Focus redefined: obedience, clarity, and peace
    01:43 Doing less to hear God more clearly
    02:09 Why capable women lose focus
    02:36 Focus is clarity, not intensity
    02:59 The Noise Audit: what drains your attention

  • Ep. 21: Missing God in Your Business? Your Road to Emmaus Moment
    Dec 26 2025

    You’ve been building in His name, praying for guidance — but still feel alone in the work.

    This episode is for the moments when you can’t see God in your business.
    Katie shares a reframe from Luke 24 that might change everything.

    Recorded in the stillness of her silent retreat, Katie walks us through the Road to Emmaus — a story of presence, disappointment, and rediscovered clarity.
    This isn't a devotional. It's a strategy shift. A sacred diagnostic for the woman leading with vision and spiritual fatigue.

    What You’ll Walk Away With:

    👣 A reframe for business disappointment and divine presence
    🍞 How clarity often comes in the breaking moments
    👀 Questions to unpack your blind spots
    🔄 The “Ibu Ibu” rhythm of one faithful step at a time
    ✝️ A 2026 word of focus that could anchor your year
    🕊️ The reminder you’ve been craving: He’s walking with you

    “His presence is not dependent on your perception. He’s been here all along.”
