12: Small Choices, Big Change with Katie Mares
What if the life you want starts with brushing your teeth, standing tall, and saying “not anymore�
In this episode of Write Your Outcome, I sit down with Katie Mares, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and founder of Now Is Non-Negotiable, to talk about how small, intentional choices lead to radical personal transformation.
Katie shares her story of leaving an abusive relationship, rebuilding her life with resilience, and creating a platform that helps others reclaim their power. We dive into the mindset shifts, daily habits, and courageous self-leadership that turn pain into purpose and possibility. In this episode, we explore:

- How tiny, consistent choices lead to big breakthroughs
- The power of saying “Now is non-negotiableâ€
- Why emotional strength is a leadership skill
- How to lead yourself through hard seasons, and come out stronger
Whether you’re navigating your own transformation or trying to lead with more heart, this episode will help you trust your power, take the next small step, and write the outcome you truly deserve.
