Episode 10: The Real Reason You’re Avoiding Outsourcing

In this episode, we share how both of our upbringings have affected our views on outsourcing, why hoarding resources and not hiring someone else is robbing them of the opportunity to step into their greatness and the real reasons why we try to do everything ourselves.

    Really enjoyed this podcast.

  • Phenomenal. I love you guys because you are so damn relatable and real. AND … while the discussion on outsourcing was on point as always (and perfect timing for me), my husband has the same fat thing but it is on his back. He shares the love of being a former weed lover and cross fit addict. So truly, thank you for talking about that. We are going to chat fat tonight and how that is representative of a blocked power source! LOVE!! And I am no longer feeling guilty about the new house cleaner coming this morning! Thanks guys!!! I listen for business, but it is all interwoven! XO

  • LOVE the last bit of the podcast – thank you for this amazing insight Kate. I think this is the truth that I have been scared to confront cos really being “busy” means not thinking about my own shit or recognising what I have been putting off out of fear.
    You mentioned a book at the end which isn’t mentioned in the show notes. Could you add it please as I would love to explore this some more.
    Thank you,
