When people start dramatically exiting your life, and everything around you seems to be crumbling, I need you to do something that's going to sound insane: get excited.
Because this is exactly what I would tell Kathrin in all her quantum leap lead-ups of the last 18 years.
If I only knew back then what I know now, I wouldn’t spend an ounce of my energy giving the thought of “maybe I’m just failing at life” the light of day.
Believe me, even though most people know me as the girl who built an 8-figure brand over the last decade… I’ve been in a couple of really dark holes. Really, REALLY, big black holes.
And you know that? I’m glad I have.
While most people think the end of the world is near and their life is inevitably over, I’ve seen enough shit by now to know a very profound Universal Truth is playing out in my life: it’s always the darkest, coldest winter before the most awe-inspiring spring.
Because of these dark places, alchemy is now one of my special talents.
I have a Scorpio stellium in my second house (pluto conjunct venus + mercury, iykyk), so I’m no stranger to going through the underworld when it comes to detaching from external measures of my self-worth. God ensures I live detached and know who the fuck I am when no one else is giving me the light of day.
So, ever since 2017 when I experienced my first significant financial quantum leap, I’ve been completely and totally obsessed with the anatomy of the quantum leap. It became all I ever wanted to talk about for years.
And with the collective consciousness sending a wave of initiated quantum leaps for soooooo many women right now (hi, myself included), it feels like it’s time to obsess over this topic again.
So, here are the Q’s I’ve deeply explored over the last decade:
What is a Quantum Leap?
How does one get triggered?
How do you know you’re about to experience one?
How do you know you’re actively in one?
And better yet, how do you ensure you get through (read: thrive through) the other side where all the fruits lie?
Because trust me… it’s not always guaranteed.
I’ve seen plenty of people unnecessarily prolongue their winter by resisting what it’s trying to teach them, giving up on the hope of spring, or worse…. restarting the winter.
You have to understand that there IS a framework, and you have to know where you’re at (so you know how to hang on + approach it correctly) or it just ends up sending you right back to where you started.
But? Don’t worry, I GOT CHUU. I’ll share everything I’ve uncovered over the last decade, no holds barred.
Because I want you to see it through. It’s unbelievably beautiful what lies on the other side for you once you get through the “void.”
According to the googles, a quantum leap is defined as a sudden, dramatic advance or abrupt increase in something. While it originally comes from quantum physics—referring to an electron instantly jumping between energy levels without moving through the space in between—it is now mostly used figuratively to describe massive breakthroughs, such as major technological or personal milestones.
Let me share with you just one of many examples from my own life when I thought my life was over… and it, indeed, was only the beginning of one of the greatest seasons of my career.
It unfolds in 2 parts.
P.S. quick break to let you know that if your life is rearranging itself right now, the leap is already happening for you. It’s been initiated and there’s no going back now. The only question is whether you white knuckle through it or decide, on purpose, who you’re becoming on the other side of it. WHO you are in the middle of it determines how it all plays out for you.
This is exactly what we’re doing inside the BE HER Challenge that I’m hosting on August 3rd.
It’s a 40-day self-image rewire delivered in simple, practical bite-sized lessons that returns you to your original setting: worthy, magnetic, chosen and enough... so your dream life stops being something you chase, and starts being something you match.
So that you approach life knowing who you are WITHOUT letting the money, the man or the mirror tell you who you are.
Here’s what’s inside:
3x per week actionable bite-sized lessons from me (M,W,F) for 6 weeks on exactly how to stop outsourcing your worth, create an unfuckwithable self-image, and seamlessly embody the version of you who’s already on the other side of your quantum leap.
Live calls & Q&A’s w/me to answer your juiciest identity, self-image, manifestation & quantum leap questions tailored to each of the lessons.
A community of women doing it with you because frequency is contagious, and you were never meant to leap alone.
Activations, visualizations, + practical tools that help you step into HER energy immediately (because reality won’t change until you know how to do this first)
In 2016 I decide to start a brand new business and call it Manifestation Babe.
I open up a brand new Instagram account after hearing a voice (the voice of intuition, that is), tell me that I’m about to create one of the most well known brands in the personal growth/spirituality space.
At the time, manifestation wasn’t a trendy topic the way it is today. And this might just be my algorithm at this point, but literally open any app and you’ll find endless rabbit holes of manifestation experts all sharing their expertise. Which, I love btw. The more the merrier because the world NEEDS IT. And no matter how many of us out there are chirping these concepts to others… so many people are still not getting it lol.
But, at the time that I started, it was what felt like literally me + 4 people talking into the abyss of skeptical people all calling us insane.
At the same time that I started Manifestation Babe, I also ended a 6 year relationship, threw my med school applications in the trash, and moved in on my grandma’s couch in LA (where I grew up) because I had nowhere else to go and needed a place to stay as I literally had a total of $80 in my bank account, with $25,000 worth of maxed out credit cards.
And no, the irony is not lost on me that I planned on starting a manifestation education brand at a time when I hit one of my most significant quantum leaps, where I was put in a place where I was completely broke, lost in life, and clearly had to apply the principles myself.
It was the perfect recipe to really test how these Universal Laws work.
Thankfully as I was sharing my knowledge over on Instagram & my Facebook Group, I was experiencing evidence that the principles DO, indeed, work. People were watching me manifest in real time which built instant trust with my audience.
Which of course, only helped me grow at what was considered a “viral speed” back in 2016 because hey, duh, manifestation works. I just needed to prove it worked for me in the business context outside of all the other ways I knew they worked.
I had to go from knowing the Universal Laws of Manifestation worked to manifest my trips to Europe, Thailand, Dominican Republic, and Dubai while I was working at a movie theater for $9/hr in college… as well as manifesting my husband word for word (I described him in my journal)…to now, creating a successful business. It was time to apply it to that cash money baby.
Many people have heard this story before since it’s the origin story of my $35M company that I’ve told hundreds of times now.
But the part of the story that less people know about is the conversation I had with a psychic right before I experienced the sudden flood of success that put Manifestation Babe on the map.
She shared one piece of information with me that I still remember and live by TO THIS DAY.
Prior to moving to LA after launching Manifestation Babe and slapping together a $33 course that I jimmy rigged and coded a website to host for me, and realizing I can only afford rent living on grandma’s couch for the money I was making, my mom gifted me a reading with a psychic.
Her name was Anna Galliers and she was on a famous reality TV show at the time called “Battle of the Psychics” hosted in Ukraine that my mom would watch every evening while I did my organic chemistry homework in college. Anna was a top 3 finalist in her season because she was that good.
I told her zero details about me & she only knew my name.
Here’s the long story made short summary of what I remember she told me:
“You’re going to be moving somewhere warm really soon. I see palm trees, sunshine, and a lot of happiness in this place for you. And when you make this move, everything is going to open up for you. I see you creating tremendous amounts of success in a new business. Maybe you already started it? Maybe you’ll create it when you get there. It’s going to be so aligned and on purpose for you. I see you helping millions of people worldwide. I see you marrying the man you’re with right now (in fact, I see grandchildren between the two of you). There is so much money and abundance coming your way, to the point where even you will be shocked by it.”
OKAYYYYY girlfriend. I like this. I’m in!
I was now even more excited about my move down to LA. “It’s all gonna work out!” I thought to myself.
I packed my whole room, said goodbye to my parents, and off I went.
But when I got to LA… this is when shit hit the fan.
My new coaching business? Wasn’t taking off.
My income from my prior fitness business? Dramatically dried up.
Grandma’s couch? Still sleeping on it for months & months & months.
I had to get a job working at a healthcare company for $15/hr just to be able to support myself.
All the few friends I had at the time? Made fun of me and decided I wasn’t cool enough to hang out with anymore.
The guy I was seeing at the time? Didn’t say “I love you” back when I shared how I felt about him. God, I was sooo embarrased.
My extended family? Openly discussed (within earshot over two separate Christmas holidays) what a humiliation I am for thinking I could make money online, and that I will regret not going to medical school.
All this being said… you can imagine why I felt a little PISSED at Anna lol.
What a fucking liar!!
Believe it or not, Anna reached out to me not long after my move to LA and offered me another session which I took advantage of so I could confront her.
She could probably feel me seething from across the Atlantic Ocean.
“WTF ANNA?!? My entire life is falling apart. The total opposite of what you said was going to happen. Why did you tell me that I was on the right path? Did I do something wrong to change the timeline? HOW DO I FIX THIS?!!!“
What she said to me next was a defining moment for me… and still is to this day.
What she said to me quite literally became the make it or break it advice that determines whether you get through the other side of a quantum leap or not (which we will expand on much more as we get into the 5 steps of the quantum leap after the full story).
She said to me: “Oh… but Kathrin don’t you know? Chaos means you’re on the right path. Everything falls apart just before it all leaps. You cannot build the new life you want on top of the old. Something’s got to give. This is a universal law. It’s all working out exactly as it should. Whatever you do, just DO NOT stop or give up. Everything I saw for you is in progress as we speak as long as you stay with it.”
I’m not joking…not long after this second session with her, everything blew up.
My business went from generating nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing month after month to suddenly…
From January 2017-July 2017 this is what my Paypal account looked like.
$7k/mo.
$10k/mo.
$20k/mo
$33k/mo
$52k/mo
$89k/mo
$123k/mo.
These were CONSECUTIVE months. This was no fluke.
I had just turned 24 at the time… and I was about to become a millionaire by 25.
IN A SINGLE YEAR.
Anna was completely, utterly and totally correct.
Everything falls apart before the Quantum Leap. Or, at least… it seems that way to the naive human eye.
And though you’d think we can end this story here where I lived happily ever after making millions of dollars in my business… there was a moment where I genuinely thought the success of my business was completely and utterly over just 3 months after my first $100k month.
I know that sounds silly, but just wait….
Below the paywall, I’m handing you the entire Anatomy of a Quantum Leap. The framework I built from 18 years of my own leaps and hundreds of my students’ stories. Here’s what’s waiting for you on the other side:
Part 2 of the story: the betrayal that hit my inbox 24 hours before an international flight, why I sobbed on my apartment floor thinking my business was a fluke, and how that exact month became the most insane financial leap of my life
All 5 stages of the Quantum Leap mapped in order, so you can diagnose exactly where you are right now and stop wondering if you’re failing at life (spoiler: you’re not, you’re just midleap babes)
The one stage where 99% of people fuck it up, the two specific ways they do it, and how to make sure you’re not one of them
The exact question I ask myself in my most desperate moments that has carried me through every single void (it’s one sentence, and it works when literally nothing else does)
The counterintuitive reason the crumble is the very thing that makes your new reality stick instead of snapping back
