Life Work Q&A Archive
Life Work Q&A (formerly Q&A episodes on the original You’ve Got This podcast) responds to a range of questions from listeners of the podcast who wrote in or connected with Katie on social media to request a response to a question related to life or work.
Life Work Q&A was retired in the summer of 2019 when Katie shifted her overall content production to make way for new content, programs, and services.
