We walked into the hospital with a birth plan. The plan was for me to labor in the bathtub, get out when it was time to push, and deliver our daughter with the help of the doctors and nurses. That is not what happened. Less than two hours after parking the car, I was in the bathtub telling Seena that something was happening VERY fast. There were no doctors or nurses in the room when our daughter arrived, still completely inside her amniotic sac. For a few surreal seconds, it was just the two of us, our brand-new baby, and one very obvious question: What the actual f— just happened? In this episode, Seena and I are telling the full story of Lexie’s arrival... This is easily the wildest story we have ever told.  Can't wait to hear what you think!

This episode feels extra special because this is the last empowerHER episode before baby girl comes because I'm officially on maternity leave  I thought this episode was going to be a life update. Instead, I found myself sharing the conversation that’s been changing how I think about seasons, ambition, motherhood and what comes next. Because lately I’ve been asking myself: At what point does honoring a season… become hiding in it? This episode is for you if: you feel excited about something but unsure if now is the right time you’re in a season of transition you’re worried you’re falling behind you’re collecting ideas but not acting yet you’re trying to figure out if something is fear… or timing Questions to ask yourself: → Does this idea keep returning? → Does it feel expansive… or like pressure? → Would I still want this if nobody clapped? If this episode hit for you, come find me on on Instagram: @kaciaghetmiri -- I would love to hear your thoughts :)

This episode feels a little different than our normal conversations, but it’s one I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I talk often about women, motherhood, identity, ambition, and all the things we carry (because… hi… that’s most of us here  ). But lately I’ve been watching my husband in this season and realizing something: I’m really good at noticing what I’m carrying… …but am I equally good at noticing what HE’S carrying? This isn’t about comparison. This isn’t about deciding who has it harder. This is about noticing the invisible things the people we love might be holding that we’ve stopped seeing because they happen every day. In this episode we talk about: – Why whatever you look for in your relationship… you’ll find – The invisible labor we don’t always recognize in our partners – Different seasons inside the same relationship – How some people show love through creating SAFETY – Why feeling seen starts with practicing seeing other people – The question I’m asking myself that’s changing how I show up in my marriage And whether you’re listening as a wife, partner, friend—or just someone who loves someone carrying a lot right now— I hope this episode reminds you to tell people when you notice them. Because sometimes the people closest to us become the easiest to accidentally overlook.

If you’re someone who constantly has ideas… this episode is for you. Lately I’ve been realizing something that feels uncomfortable to admit: Just because I CAN build something… doesn’t mean I SHOULD. As I get closer to maternity leave, become more intentional with my energy, and think about what I actually want this next season of life to feel like—I’ve realized how easy it is to confuse excitement with alignment. Because sometimes we don’t actually want the business. Or the goal. Or the new identity. Sometimes we want possibility. Momentum. Expansion. A reminder that anything is still available to us. In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite stories (the fisherman story  ) and walking through the questions I’m asking myself before saying yes to the next thing. Reminder: You do not need to stop dreaming big. But maybe your next level isn’t building more. Maybe it’s becoming more intentional about what you build. If this episode resonated, DM me on Instagram—I want to know: What idea are you letting breathe before acting on it? Love you. Rooting for you always

Today's episode is a little different. No framework or step-by-step strategy or even a checklist....  Just 10 beliefs I've come to hold after becoming a wife, mom, entrepreneur, investor, and someone who's changed her mind more than once. Because I don't think changing your mind means you're inconsistent. I think it means you've lived enough life to get new data. In this episode, I'm sharing 10 things I currently believe about motherhood, ambition, relationships, comparison, burnout, social media, and building a life you're genuinely excited about. We talk about:  Why I don't think all guilt is bad How comparison can actually be useful Why I believe who you marry impacts your life more than almost any other decision The surprising ways women can hide behind motherhood The surprising ways women can hide behind ambition Why I don't believe balance exists How social media can make it harder to know what you actually want Why most people already know the answer What I think we're getting wrong about burnout Why I want my kids to see me fully alive Whether you agree with these beliefs or not, my hope is that this episode gets you thinking about your own. Because our beliefs shape our decisions far more than we realize. Oh &... I mentioned Clearstem Skincare in today's episode-- if you're looking for new skincare routine or products, you have GOT to check out Clearstem. I've been using this line for 8 YEARS now (wild) and everytime they come out with a new product, I'm like "WOW, where has this been all my life" -- code "KACIA" always saves you big $$$ on all their products!  Keep me in the loop if you snag anything and can't wait to hear what you think of this episode!!

Okayyy this episode is a little spicy Because honestly?

You are not underqualified. You are not an imposter. You might just be under-repped If this episode resonated with you, send it to a girlfriend who needs this reminder & DM me your biggest takeaways

In this episode, I’m building on last week’s conversation about pivoting, capacity, and not making permanent decisions from temporary exhaustion. But after getting out of my normal routine, spending intentional time with my husband Seena , and asking bigger life questions before baby #2 arrives… I realized something: Sometimes being tired doesn’t mean you need to quit… sometimes it just slows you down enough to ask a deeper question:

Sometimes you’re not unmotivated… you’re just maxed out.And if you’re not careful?You’ll make a temporary feeling feel like a permanent conclusion.In this episode, I’m getting really honest about what’s been going on behind the scenes while building my real estate business, raising a toddler, and being 31 weeks pregnant… because lately?There are moments I genuinely do not feel like showing up.But what if that doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path?What if:You’re not out of alignment…You’re not lazy…You’re not “losing your edge”…What if your capacity has simply changed?In this episode, we’re talking about:  The difference between motivation problems vs. capacity problems Why ambitious women often misdiagnose burnout as misalignment How to stop comparing yourself to old versions of you The question I’m asking myself daily right now: “What does winning look like in this season?”If you’ve been feeling tired, stretched thin, emotional, or questioning everything you’ve built…This one’s for you.

If you’re smart, driven, and doing all the “right” things… but still feel like you’re hesitating on the moves you know you want to make; this episode is for you. In today’s episode, I'm breaking down the 5 expensive mistakes I'm seeing high-achieving women make in business, relationships, motherhood, investing, and honestly even just LIFE.  From waiting for the “perfect time”… to over-researching instead of taking action… to looking for permission from everyone except yourself....this is your loving kick in the booty to stop overthinking and start moving.

If you’ve been feeling stuck… like you just need to try harder, be more consistent, or finally “get it together” to get where you want to go....this episode is going to shift something for you. Because what if the problem isn’t your effort? What if the real bottleneck is the way you see yourself? In this episode, I’m breaking down why your identity—not your strategy, not your consistency—is the thing that’s either accelerating you or holding you back. And how the subtle language you use (even in your own head) might be keeping you in a loop of “not yet.” This is your reminder that you don’t get what you want… you get what feels normal for someone like you. And if you want a different result? It starts with deciding who you are now, not someday. I think you're going to love this one; can't wait to hear what you think!

If you’ve been telling yourself something feels “hard”… this episode might lovingly call you out a little bit (in the best way) Because what if the thing you keep labeling as hard… isn’t actually hard at all? What if it’s just unfamiliar? In this episode, I’m sharing a reframe that has completely changed how I navigate new seasons, uncomfortable growth, and identity shifts and I have a feeling it’s going to hit for you too. Whether you’re building something new, navigating a tough season, or stepping into a version of you that you don’t fully recognize yet… this will help you see it differently. And more importantly? Move through it faster. Rooting so hard for you! xo

If you’ve been telling yourself you’re “overwhelmed”… this one might hit you a little bit  Because in this episode, I’m lovingly calling you out (and myself too) on something I see ALL the time…  you’re not actually overwhelmed… you’re just avoiding making a decision. I know that might sound a little spicy, but stick with me because this reframe might be exactly what you need to get unstuck. In this episode, I’m sharing: why “overwhelm” can actually be a form of avoidancehow fear of being seen, failing, or choosing the “wrong” thing keeps us stuckwhat this looked like for me when I pivoted into real estateand the subtle ways we hide (like consuming instead of executing, or constantly tweaking the plan)If you’ve been: – saying you’re “not ready yet” – waiting for more clarity – or stuck in that back-and-forth gray area… this episode is your reminder that clarity doesn’t come from thinking more; it comes from making a decision and moving. If this episode hits, send it to a friend who’s been saying she’s overwhelmed… and if you’re ready to make a move, I’m cheering you on HARD. You’ve got what it takes. Let’s go

In this episode, we’re having a real, honest, girlfriend-chat conversation about guilt....the kind that so many women (especially moms) carry without ever questioning. I'm sharing a few things that I personally no longer feel guilty about that I think you are really going to resonate with you too!  This episode is part permission slip, part mindset shift, and part loving nudge to stop carrying things that were never yours to hold in the first place... can't wait to hear what you think!  Also as mentioned in this episode:  If you’ve been curious about getting into real estate investing....especially short-term rentals in Colorado (even if you're not local) this could be a powerful opportunity to explore. With multiple properties under contract (many with first-time investors), I'm SUPER passionate about helping people understand what’s actually possible for them so if you're interested in chatting more!  DM me on Instagram @kaciaghetmiri to set up a Zoom call and talk through your goals, vision, and next steps ;)

How often do you judge yourself by your worst moment? One snap at your partner. One impatient moment with your toddler. One mistake in business. And suddenly your brain turns that single moment into a verdict about who you are. In this episode, Kacia shares a powerful perspective inspired by a quote from divorce lawyer James Sexton that reframes how we judge ourselves and the people we love. “If you judge me by my best parenting moments, you'd think I'm an amazing father. If you judge me by my worst parenting moments, you'd think I'm a monster. The truth is… I'm somewhere in the middle.”This conversation dives into why we often define ourselves and others by snapshot moments instead of patterns, and how that mindset quietly damages our self-talk, relationships, and confidence. Whether you're a mom, entrepreneur, partner, friend, or someone simply trying to grow — this episode is a reminder that you are not your best moment or your worst moment. You are the messy middle of thousands of moments in between. And that’s where real growth happens. If This Episode Resonated Share it with a friend who might be too hard on herself right now. Sometimes the most powerful reminder we can give someone is: You deserve to be on your own team.

In this episode, I’m diving into something that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately how the decisions that end up changing your entire life usually don’t feel big in the moment. So often we think our life is going to change because of one huge decision or one dramatic turning point. But when I look back at my own life;  my marriage, my career, starting empowerHER, investing in real estate .... the things that shaped everything were actually tiny decisions that compounded over time. In this episode, we talk about why you don’t need the entire plan to move forward, why curiosity can be enough reason to take action, and how small, mildly uncomfortable choices can quietly change the entire trajectory of your life. If you’ve been putting pressure on yourself to have everything figured out before you start, I think this conversation will feel like a bit of an exhale. A question to reflect on after this episode What small decision might quietly change your life right now? Maybe it’s starting something you’ve been thinking about. Reaching out to someone you admire. Applying for something you feel unqualified for. Having a conversation you’ve been avoiding. Or saying yes to something that scares you just a little. Whatever it is, you don’t need to have it all figured out.  You just need to get the train on the tracks. Rooting so hard for you!
