This time of year, the pressure to be grateful is everywhere.

But what if gratitude is being used to keep you small?

In this episode, Kim Bolourtchi breaks open the false choice so many high-achievers are stuck in — that you can either be thankful for what you have or reach for something more.

You’ll hear real stories of clients who stopped performing gratitude and started building their next level using one simple shift: “and.”

This isn’t about being ungrateful.
It’s about being honest.

You don’t have to leap without a net.
But you do have to move.

And this episode will show you how.

I’ll never forget standing backstage before one of my first big keynotes — mic on, ready to go, heart racing — when a single thought hit me:

“What if they booked the wrong person?”

That moment cracked something open.
Because up until then, I had been obsessed with proving I belonged.
I didn’t fully believe it — but I wanted everyone else to.

This episode is about what happened next — the moment fear made me let go of performance and choose truth instead.

It wasn’t by doing it right.
It was by doing it real.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re one mistake away from being found out, this one’s for you.
It’s about what happens when you stop performing, start believing, and finally decide to be fully you.

🔥 The life you want isn’t waiting for more effort.
It’s waiting for more belief — and the courage to live like you already have it.

Kim Bolourtchi thought she’d built the perfect version of success—until one moment in the Missouri Supreme Court exposed the rule that had quietly been running her life: Be exactly who they expect you to be… and if you’re anything different than that, hide it.

In this first episode of Season 6: Get Unruly, Kim shares the real story behind her new book, Strategic Unruliness™—and the moment everything changed. She explores how the rules that once kept us safe eventually start keeping us small, and what it takes to finally break them.

🎙️ Unruly Move of the Week: Notice one place you’re still being exactly who they expect you to be—and ask yourself what would happen if you showed a little more of the real you.
