Episode Details

In this episode, I talk with Kathryn Booker Veloz about how courage and faith shape the way we ask for what we want in life. Kathryn is an executive coach who works with leaders facing toxic workplace culture and low morale. She shares the quote that guides her: “You get from this life what you have the courage to ask for.” We dive into stories of childlike faith, courage, and her personal milestone of traveling to over 20 countries before the age of 30. We also discuss the power of asking, the difference between complaining and making a real request, and how resilience grows through disappointment. If you’re curious about courage, bold questions, career growth, faith, or overcoming negativity, you’ll find so much insight in this conversation. Listen in to hear how even small shifts in how you ask can change your life in big ways!
