## Resource

In this episode, Kat is joined by Bella - a rising talent whose energy “jumps off the page” on LinkedIn and into real life. Together, they unpack the small habits that quietly build confidence, protect mental health, and shift your day from autopilot to intentional. Bella shares how Atomic Habits introduced her to habit stacking, why music became her mood-reset tool during high-rejection cold-calling days, and how her current “kitchen disco party” habit (3–5 minutes while the kettle boils) sets her up for better focus and energy. They also explore boundaries with social media (and why scrolling can feel like a trance), how to change your mindset by changing what you consume, and the powerful ripple effect of small daily choices - at home, at work, and inside teams. Bella opens up about her work at Purple Story - a people-first business that improves performance by developing leaders and culture and the team habits and values that shape confidence and growth.
