There are moments when we come across individuals who profoundly impact the way we see the world and ourselves. Kaitlin O’Toole is one of those people for me. Her journey—from facing illness and trauma to creating transformative programs like the MBA Method—offers lessons that go far beyond surface inspiration. They dig into the core of what it means to heal, grow, and thrive.
Here’s a deeper reflection on the lessons I’ve learned from her:
1. 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜
Kaitlin’s story is a testament to the fact that our thoughts create our reality. One of her most powerful insights is that reprogramming your mindset requires facing uncomfortable truths about yourself. For me, that meant recognizing how self-doubt and fear were shaping my actions—or in many cases, holding me back. Kaitlin’s teachings have helped me understand that success isn’t just external; it starts with the stories we tell ourselves internally. The real work begins with rewiring those beliefs.
𝟮. 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆
A lesson that hit me deeply is the importance of showing up as the person you aspire to be—not tomorrow, but right now. Kaitlin emphasizes that waiting for external validation, financial success, or recognition only delays your growth. By believing you’re already that person, you attract the opportunities, energy, and relationships that align with your vision. For me, this has meant stepping into confidence and decision-making as though I’ve already “made it,” and the shift in energy has been transformative.
3. 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮
Kaitlin’s story of overcoming severe illness and trauma has taught me that healing is not linear, nor is it something we can rush. It’s not about matching the years of struggle with an equal number of years of healing. Instead, it’s about showing up daily for yourself, embracing the messiness of the process, and recognizing that small steps forward are still progress.
4. 𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨, 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙘𝙝
Faith played a significant role in Kaitlin’s soul-searching journey, and it’s a reminder for me to trust the process, even when the path feels uncertain. Whether it’s faith in a higher power, the universe, or simply the belief that things will work out, having a strong sense of purpose is essential. Kaitlin’s story has shown me that faith isn’t about passively waiting—it’s about taking aligned action while trusting that the universe will meet you halfway.
5. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝
Breaking generational cycles or personal roadblocks isn’t easy—it requires deep awareness and intentionality. Kaitlin’s ability to break free from her own limitations inspired me to do the same. She teaches that we are not defined by our past or the circumstances we were born into. Instead, we have the power to rewrite our stories. For me, this has meant letting go of old narratives about what’s possible and embracing the idea that I am the bridge between my past and the future I’m building.
6. 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝘽𝙤𝙩𝙝 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣
Kaitlin’s teachings on manifestation go beyond visualization. She emphasizes that it’s about aligning your energy with your actions. I’ve learned to focus on the feelings I want to embody—confidence, abundance, joy—and to pair that with intentional steps toward my goals. Manifestation isn’t about passively waiting for things to happen; it’s about creating the conditions for them to unfold.
7. 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙎𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡, 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙩
Even someone as accomplished as Kaitlin admits to having low-energy days or moments of self-doubt. What sets her apart is her ability to bounce back, recalibrate, and keep moving forward. She doesn’t shy away from setbacks but sees them as opportunities to learn and grow. This has been a crucial reminder for me: resilience isn’t about never failing; it’s about how you respond when life knocks you down.
𝟴. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
One of the biggest blocks Kaitlin addresses is our relationship with money. She reframes wealth as energy—something that flows and grows when we align with it. Her teachings have helped me move past limiting beliefs around money and embrace the idea that abundance is my birthright. This shift has allowed me to approach finances with more confidence and creativity.
9. 𝙃𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙀𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙃𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘
Kaitlin’s holistic approach to healing includes addressing physical health, like hormonal imbalances. Her example reminds me to view health as a multidimensional journey—one that incorporates nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and self-care. Balance isn’t achieved through quick fixes but through consistent, compassionate effort.
10. 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙑𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙎𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚
When it comes to big goals, Kaitlin advises being intentional about who you share them with. Not everyone will understand or support your vision, and that’s okay. Protecting your dream until it’s strong enough to stand on its own is sometimes the best way to honor it.
𝟭𝟭. 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
Kaitlin’s journey of self-discovery is grounded in faith, a lesson that resonates deeply with me. It’s a reminder to let go of fear and trust that even the hardest moments are guiding us toward our purpose. Her story has shown me that faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about taking the next step, even when the path ahead is unclear.
