Welcome to BEE REEL, a podcast that explores what it means to live, love, and lead from truth.

In this episode, Debra Ann Mumm, author of the upcoming book Authentic RESET, sits down with Katie Slimko—CEO of the Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce, community connector, and all-around force of authenticity.

Together, they dive into:

• The masks we wear and the roles we play (and how to take them off)

• The tension between ambition, service, and self-care

• How loss, chaos, and surrender can become turning points toward freedom

• Why leading with heart is the most radical thing we can do right now

• The daily rituals that help Katie stay grounded—faith, journaling, and time in nature

This conversation is a reminder that balance isn’t about time—it’s about truth.
It’s about remembering who you are, reconnecting to what lights you up, and having the courage to show up as yourself, again and again.
