International Women’s Day has always felt like more than a date on the calendar to me. It’s a moment to pause, take stock, and ask: Am I actually showing up as the woman I know I’m capable of being?

This year, I’m marking it in a way that feels deeply aligned with that question. I’ll be speaking at the Voices of Women Summit on March 4, 2026, a free online event hosted by international speaker and broadcast personality Kimberly Crowe.


A Gathering Worth Showing Up For

Kimberly has brought together hundreds of women speakers from around the globe: educators, entrepreneurs, healers, leaders, creatives, all sharing what they know in service of something bigger than themselves. The 2026 International Women’s Day theme is “Give to Gain,” and this summit embodies that beautifully. When women are genuinely included, supported, and seen, it creates a ripple effect. Belonging and empowerment aren’t soft ideals. They change outcomes.

The speaker lineup covers a remarkable range of topics, from helping teens navigate success to reframing failure to exploring the tension between feminine and masculine energy to raising resilient kids through family challenges. There’s something grounding about being in a (virtual) room where that many perspectives are represented.


What I’ll Be Talking About

My talk is called “Unshakeable Self-Trust: The New Non-Negotiables for Women Who Are Done Playing Small.”

I chose this topic because it’s the conversation I find myself having over and over again, with clients, with friends, and honestly, with myself. So many capable, intelligent, driven women are holding back. Not because they lack vision or talent, but because somewhere along the way, they stopped trusting their own instincts.

Self-doubt is sneaky. It doesn’t always look like fear. Sometimes it looks like over-researching. Over-preparing. Waiting for the “right time.” Asking for one more opinion before making a move you already know is right.

In this talk, I want to get into the real stuff:

  • Why self-trust is the foundation on which everything else is built, and what erodes it without us noticing
  • How setting clear boundaries and bold goals isn’t just nice-to-haves, but the actual structure that makes a bigger life possible
  • What’s underneath the pattern of holding back, and what shifts when you decide to stop

Vision boards and mindset work matter. But they don’t close the gap between where you are and where you want to be. That gap gets closed by decisions, and decisions require trusting yourself enough to make them.

Katrina Sawa, The Jumpstart Your Biz Coach

“Before I met Katrina, I was a personal trainer/ group fitness instructor in Manhattan running around like a madwoman all day long. By the time I came home I had just about enough energy to stare at the wall and drool. I knew I couldn’t go on like this forever. And I was planning on having a child, so my time for running around was about to be, well, cut out completely. How was I going to make more money than I was making, and work less??? I had no idea, and I am so fortunate that I stumbled into Katrina Sawa! She spelled out exactly what I needed to do, step by step, and supported me along the way. Before I knew it, I had launched my first online fitness program, and it was successful! Before I met Katrina, I would never have thought I could do this, but she prompted me to keep taking steps, whether I thought I could or not! I now run fun and effective online fitness programs regularly and end up helping many more people in much less time! And I have plenty of time to spend with my son.”

Miranda Zukowski

The Fitness Coach for Entrepreneurs

“Katrina is a master at internet marketing. It was Katrina that introduce me to having a business that can be global and mobile. She gave me the tools to launch and build my online empire and create my very first tele-seminar that feature me interviewing top 6 & 7 figure women entrepreneurs including Kat the Kat-alyst herself.  All of this has allowed me to receive and sell $10,000 coaching program within a week. I would not be the entrepreneur I AM today if it weren’t for my coaching session and connection with Katrina. I highly recommend working with her if you are serious about becoming successful and abundantly prosperous in your life.”
