EP 42: Get Into Main Character Energy
If someone watched the movie of your life over the last seven days, would they know you were the main character—or have you become a supporting character in someone else’s story?
Main character energy is not about becoming selfish, self-absorbed, or more important than everyone else. It is about taking responsibility for your life, honoring your needs, trusting your judgment, and giving your future the attention it deserves.
In this episode, Katie shares six signs that you have stepped out of main character energy—and the simple Notice, Choose, Act process that will help you return to yourself.

SIX SIGNS YOU HAVE LEFT THE CENTER OF YOUR LIFE
-
You say yes to avoid disappointing people.
-
You minimize your needs and preferences.
-
You take responsibility for another adult’s emotions or choices.
-
You chase, overexplain, or close every gap to receive reassurance.
-
You depend on external validation before trusting your decisions.
-
You postpone your happiness until a person, achievement, or experience arrives.
The shift does not require a dramatic reinvention. It begins with three steps:
Notice: Where have you become a supporting character?
Choose: What would honesty, boundaries, reciprocity, self-trust, or self-respect look like here?
Act: Take one small action that puts you back in a leadership role in your own life.
Scripture referenced: Mark 12:31
READY FOR PRIVATE COACHING?
If you recognize yourself in this episode but know awareness alone is not creating the change you want, this is the work we can do together.
My private coaching and mentorship is designed for the woman who is ready to stop repeating the same patterns and create meaningful change at the root.
Together, we will identify what is keeping you stuck, strengthen your self-trust, create healthy boundaries, and build a clear strategy for the relationships, confidence, purpose, and life you want next.
This is highly personalized coaching with my full attention, strategy, and support—not a one-size-fits-all program.
If you are ready to become the main character in your own life again, I invite you to explore private coaching.
