Have you ever felt like you’re not making progress fast enough? Like you’re falling short of where you should be? What if I told you that you’re actually doing better than you think?

In today’s episode, I share a simple yet powerful framework—The 1-10 Scale—that will shift your perspective on growth, progress, and success. This isn’t about false positivity or sugarcoating the challenges. It’s about recognizing the wins that are already happening, even when they feel invisible.

Inspired by a conversation with one of my clients—a musician navigating her program through immense challenges—I’ll show you how two small follow-up questions can help you break free from self-doubt, reframe setbacks, and uncover the real progress you’re making.

In this episode, you’ll learn: 🎯 How to use the 1-10 scale to instantly shift your mindset about your progress. 🚀 Why we tend to focus on what’s missing instead of what’s working—and how to flip that. 🔄 The power of the Upward Spiral—why you’re not actually stuck, even if it feels that way. 🎭 How focusing on tiny wins will keep you motivated when the big leaps feel impossible. 💡 A quick mindset trick to help you stop feeling “behind” in your creative journey.

If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or like you’re not moving fast enough—this episode is for you.

And don’t forget—Beyond Potential comes out in just one week! If you pre-order now, you’ll get access to an exclusive Virtual Launch Party & Masterclass on March 29th. Register at katekayaian.com/bpresources.
