Ready to stop hiding and playing small … and start living from the TRUTH of who you are?
Be the Wolf is for high-achievers who are tired of sacrificing for the sake of others, business, and finances.
They’ve done it “right” their whole life, and they’re still feeling stuck, exhausted, and unfulfilled.
If you struggle with burnout, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, chronic self-doubt, or feeling invisible even though you constantly over-deliver… this show is for you.
What does it mean to ‘Be the Wolf?’
When Yellowstone Park removed the wolves to make the park "safe," the entire ecosystem collapsed. The wolves weren't the problem … they were essential.
The same is true for you. When you hide parts of yourself to stay safe or be liked, the system of YOU gets out of balance, stays stuck in survival mode, and eventually collapses.
Being the Wolf means operating from the wholeness of who you are … because that's when the ecosystem of YOU thrives.
Host Genea Barnes explores what it means to stop performing for approval and start showing up as your full 100% REAL self. Not just the parts you think are acceptable.
Through deep conversations about self-trust, relationships, worthiness, business, boundaries, money, reclaiming your voice, and learning to feel safe in your own skin, you'll discover how to expand your capacity for a life you actually want … without sacrificing joy, fulfillment, and the light of who you are.
Topics include:
- Overcoming self-sabotage and breaking through plateaus
- Healing people-pleasing patterns and chronic over-functioning
- Trusting yourself when you've been gaslit or told your needs aren't real
- Moving from survival mode to feeling safe, embodied, and free to thrive
- Reclaiming creativity, visibility, and leadership after years of playing small
- Building relationships where you don't have to disappear to be loved and accepted
- Saying no, setting and holding boundaries without guilt or fear of rejection
- Releasing shame and learning you're not "too much" or "not enough"
- Saying yes to what you truly want without fear of repercussions
This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about remembering who you are.
Because when you stop trying to cram yourself into someone else's tiny box of who you should be, everything changes. Your work and business thrive. Your relationships deepen. Your body relaxes. You finally feel the peace, safety, and freedom you've been chasing.
You weren't meant to hide … you weren’t meant to disappear. You were meant to live from the TRUTH of you.
Be the Wolf.
New episodes weekly. Real stories. Real transformation. Real freedom.

For the past 29 years, I’ve talked with thousands of people about whales. Through the Whalemobile, my education enrichment program focusing on a life-sized inflatable model of a humpback whale (that kids go inside), I can provide an engaging learning experience to introduce a unit about whales or be the expert that comes in to close it and answer student questions. I use whales as the inspiration to get kids to start thinking critically about what they can do to protect our planet. My obsession for whales as a child has grown into a greater sense of responsibility to take action on behalf of the wild world. Now, I strive to cultivate that same awareness, respect and responsibility in the next generation of ocean advocates.

Everywhere I turn, another person is diagnosed with ADHD. And they always say, “Everything makes so much sense now.”
They finally have a reason why they struggle with:
- Can’t deal with stress
- Impatience
- Impulsivity
- Easily bored
- Can’t sit still
- Negative self image
- Lack of motivation
- Sleep issues
- Procrastination
- carelessness and not enough attention to detail
- starting new tasks before finishing old ones
- Emotional reactions
- Disorganized
- Distracted
- Can’t focus
- Losing or misplacing things
- Forgetfulness
- Restlessness
- Talking too much
- Blurting out responses and interrupting others
- Mood swings
- Irritability
But what does the diagnosis actually give you? Does it teach you how to live your life better? Does the amphetamine prescription get rid of the problem?
NOPE.
Dr. Gabor Mate believes that ADHD is caused in infancy by a stressful environment. It can happen when the caregivers experience financial, political, or emotional stress. And a sensitive infant picks up on that stress. Because the child can not escape, they’ll “check out” or dissociate. It’s a coping mechanism to escape the stress.
Once this strategy is learned, it becomes the go-to strategy for dealing with stress and feeling uncomfortable.
But what if you could make your ADHD work for you instead of against you? What if you could change your brain? And create new, healthier coping mechanisms for stress?
Don’t you deserve that?
This is exactly what Adult Therapist and AD/HD "Hypeman," Kate von Achen, is determined to do–for herself and others.
Join us for a conversation on diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and making ADHD work for you.

About Kate:
Kate von Achen is a clinical social worker working as an adult outpatient therapist in community mental health in Lawrence, Kansas. Kate’s journey into this line of work was anything but linear and makes perfect sense to those who have followed her at times chaotic journey. Overcoming (at times “self-created”) obstacles, running toward the flames while others run for safety, and being passionate about being of service to others has been the golden thread connecting the various hats worn internationally throughout her life. Finding out she is AD/HD at 42 and learning what that actually means has made her “at times chaotic journey” make perfect sense and has added tremendous value to her long “life experience list” she calls on in working in a community mental health setting.
