Katie Walter: “Our Work is Our Gift to the World”
“Our Work is Our Gift to the World” with Katie Walter
Between our many tangents, the diving in deep and solving all the world’s problems, and a cameo from Indonesian Katie—this is one power-packed episode! The first half was recorded back in October 2015, and we have a bonus check in with Katie in January 2016, where we get to hear all about how drastically her life has changed. But one thing has not changed, and that is that she is consistently living her dance in all that she does. Tune in for a very special episode with my good friend (and model, actress, coach and humanitarian), Katie Walter.
In this episode we get to dive into…
• Katie’s new perspective after doing international humanitarian work
• What it’s like to be a multi-passionate entrepreneur, and how Katie balances it all
• How Katie chose to transition away from her acting career (11:30)
