Welcome to another episode of Liz on Biz! This time, Liz Theresa chats with business and life coach Katie Grimes. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your business to-do list, questioning work-life balance, or just wondering how to set healthy boundaries with clients and projects, this conversation is for you.
Episode Highlights:
- How Katie Helps:
Katie Grimes specializes in helping women business owners break out of toxic work patterns (think: grinding, hustling, and never resting). She works with “everyday chicks” who want to love what they do, support their households, and still put their health first. - Burnout & The Gas Tank Analogy:
The discussion dives into how pushing through when you’re already depleted can lead to burnout, health issues, and stress-induced illness. Katie Grimes shares her own experience with stress-related medical issues and hefty bills, and stresses the importance of listening to our bodies. - How to Avoid Overwork:
Learn about responding vs. reacting to client requests, pausing before saying yes, and doing the actual math to decide if a project is worth your energy. There’s also a conversation about creating inquiry processes and enforcing boundaries—even with celebrity clients! - ADHD, Multitasking & To-Do Lists:
Get actionable tips for segmenting your tasks, avoiding excessive multitasking, and managing energy (not just time). Katie Grimes shares brain-based ways to organize work, and why it’s crucial to check in with yourself physically throughout the day. - Money, Boundaries & Raising Rates:
Both Liz Theresa and Katie Grimes talk about learning to value your time, raising rates (and discovering that “everyone still says yes!”), and setting boundaries with retainer and coaching clients. - Getting Paid What You’re Worth:
Advice on communicating boundaries, charging for extra work, and understanding how to structure packages so your business supports your life—not the other way around.
Katie’s Approach:
- Focuses on giving you time back, teaching you to feel your feelings, and helping you respond (not react) both at work and at home.
- Helps clients grow both personally and financially. Examples include clients who grew from $18k/year to $186k, and others who hit $204k in revenue after six months!
