Kat & Steve - If we had 24 hours left ...

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +1000

We asked a question ...“If we had 24 hours left on earth, what would we do?”

A real, honest question to look at what actually matters when time is no longer on our side. Because questions like this have a way of showing you your life as it is, not the one you say you want, but the one you’re actually living.

What would you drop?
What would you lean into?
Who would you call?
How would you spend your time?

And maybe the better question is, what’s stopping you from living a little more like that now?

"I'm not ready yet!"

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +1000

You keep telling yourself you’re not ready. Not clear enough, not confident enough, not quite there yet.

But if you’re honest, you already know.

You know the conversation you’ve been avoiding. You know the decision you keep circling. You know what’s not working anymore.

This episode is about that space. The in-between where you sit and think, and think and think some more whilst thinking you need more time, when really you’re avoiding what the next step is asking of you.

It might disrupt things. It might feel uncomfortable. It might require you to show up in a way you haven’t before. So instead, you stay in your head. You go back and forth. You wait for a feeling that isn’t coming.

In this episode I talk about the illusion of readiness, why clarity doesn’t come before action, and how we keep ourselves stuck by calling avoidance “not being ready.”

If you’ve been circling something in your life, this one will land.

Kat & Steve - To re-marry or not to re-marry

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +1100

I asked Steve a question - "were you scared to get married again, to be in a relationship again after your divorce?”

When something significant ends, especially a marriage, it changes you. It shapes how you see love, commitment, risk, yourself and others.

In this episode, Steve shares what it was actually like stepping back into a relationship after divorce. The hesitation. The awareness. The things he didn’t want to repeat. The work he needed to do on himself.

We talk about how he chose to do it differently the second time around.

This isn’t a conversation about getting it perfect and 100% right. It’s about being honest about what you carry from the past, and what you consciously choose to do differently moving forward.

If you’ve ever wondered if you can love again after something’s ended or how to not bring old patterns into something new, this one will land.

I give myself permission to ...

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +1100

Permission sounds simple, but most of us are waiting for it.

Waiting for someone to say it’s okay to slow down, okay to change your mind, okay to outgrow something that once made sense.

But life rarely hands us that permission, and so, we keep going. We keep doing the roles we’ve always played. We keep carrying responsibilities, expectations, identities that once fit even when something inside us is saying that we’ve changed.

Transitions have a way of bringing that nudge to the surface.

A shift in your work, your relationships, your body, your priorities, your sense of who you are. And in those moments, the mind wants certainty. It wants a clear answer, a plan, a way to get back to solid ground.

But real change rarely works like that.

In this episode, I explore the idea of permission. Permission to be in a season of change. Permission to not have everything figured out yet. Permission to let go of what no longer fits. Permission to listen to the quieter voice inside you that knows something is shifting.

Sometimes the most honest thing you can do in the middle of life rearranging itself is stop fighting it and give yourself permission to be exactly where you are.

Kat & Steve - What we are carrying right now (and how we can help the other)

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +1100

Steve and I asked each other a simple question this week:

“What are you carrying right now that I might be unaware of… and how can I support you?”

When you live with someone, love them and talk to them every day there are always things they’re carrying that you don’t see. Or maybe you do, but you're asking the best question to help them express it.

Pressure. Worry. Fatigue. Things they haven’t quite found words for yet.

It’s easy in relationships to assume we know what’s going on for the other person, or to get caught up in our own world and forget to ask.

This episode is just us talking about that.

Just a real conversation about remembering to look at the person you love and ask a real type of question that will give real answers.

The three stages of transition

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 15:00:00 +1100

In this episode, I wrote called Dear Change.

Lately I’ve been sitting in that strange space many of us know well. The space between who we were and who we are becoming. The space where something in life has shifted, but the next chapter hasn’t fully revealed itself yet.

It can feel foggy there, uncertain, even tiring. Our minds want answers and direction, but sometimes life is asking something else of us.

Patience.

Drawing on William Bridges’ work on transitions, I speak about the season many people try to rush through. The in between. The neutral zone. The place where things that once felt certain begin to loosen, old rhythms no longer quite fit, and clarity hasn’t yet arrived.

This episode is a reminder that not every season of life is for building.

Some seasons are for releasing. Some seasons are for waiting. Some seasons are simply for becoming.

If you’re in a moment where life feels unclear, slower than usual, or like something inside you is reorganising, snuggle up and listen in.

Kat & Steve - Pretending to like pizza

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +1100

In this episode, Steve and I revisit a story from my book that says a lot about how many of us enter relationships in the beginning: a little bit false.

When we first got together, Steve was a pizza-eating machine. Every time I went to his place, pizza was ordered. I didn’t even want pizza. But I went along with it. I wanted to be easy. Agreeable. Low maintenance. Cool.

Inside, I knew what I actually wanted but I didn’t say it.

That small moment became a much bigger realisation: if I’m being “cool” about pizza when I don’t want it, where else in my life am I abandoning myself because I fear losing what I have?

We talk about how many of us shape-shift early in relationships out of fear of being difficult, too much, hard work, or ultimately, unlovable. Showing up false isn’t sustainable. Eventually, the real you arrives anyway.

Relationships don’t deepen when we perform, they deepen when the real person finally walks into the room.

I didn't expect this at 40

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +1100

I felt ready for this chapter. I honoured the versions of me who carried me here . I stepped into this decade open, grounded, certain, and then grief quietly arrived.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the unexpected emotional landscape of entering a new decade, the tenderness that comes with seeing your parents age, wondering if the children you love are ready for the world, and realising even the companions who’ve walked beside you for years won’t be here forever.

I talk about the body changing in ways you can’t outwork or control.
The shift in ambition. The question that begins to surface when striving softens: now what?

This isn’t an episode about answers or silver linings. It’s an honest reflection on what happens when time stops feeling theoretical and starts feeling real. When love carries an ache. When life feels more precious and more fragile at the same time.

If you’ve felt a quiet grief you couldn’t quite name, if you’re moving through transition, ageing, or a change in identity, this conversation will likely meet you right where you are.

Kat & Steve - Supporting one another through transitions

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +1100

Steve’s turning 50. I just turned turning 40.

This isn’t a “new decade, new me” episode. It’s more tender than that.

For me, there’s been grief. Grieving parts of myself from the past. Versions of me that won’t be coming forward into this next chapter, and if I’m really honest, even pre-mourning what’s to come.

Sadness has been the emotion I’ve been honouring this week. I've just let it be there.

For Steve, it’s different. He’s more aware of time, how he’s spending it, how joyful his life actually feels and how he could inject more joy into whatever time he has left.

We’re both asking: What matters now? What needs to be let go? What needs to be chosen more intentionally?

This episode is a very honest reflection of where we’re at. No big answers. Just two people in transition, supporting each other, looking at time, identity, joy, and meaning a little more closely.

If you’re in a season of change, this will feel familiar.

Oh, to Be Sovereign

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +1100

In this solo episode, I share a personal reflection on what it means to live as a sovereign woman. Not in defiance, not from ego, but in true, grounded devotion to your own rhythm, your own knowing, your own life.

This is for the woman who’s done hustling for worth.
Who’s tired of fragmenting herself to be liked, seen, or accepted.
Who’s exhausted from being led by urgency and is ready to return to a deeper truth.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to come home to yourself, to rest, to trust, to let go of who you think you should be, this episode is for you.

You are not late. You are right on time.

This is your invitation to take your seat at the centre of your own life.

Kat & Steve - Limbo Land

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Stevie B and I talk about limbo land, that murky space so many people end up in early on in dating. The situationship. Not quite together. Not quite nothing.

We talk about how any interaction between two people is a relationship, whether you label it or not. And how often one person is being clear about what they want, while the other is quietly hoping it’ll turn into something more.

We get into wishful thinking. Reading into moments. Convincing yourself that chemistry, closeness, or intimacy means commitment even when the words say otherwise.

I share honestly about our early days and how easy it is to override what’s being said because you want a different outcome.

This episode is about:

The cost of staying in the grey
Why clarity matters more than potential
How self-respect gets eroded in limbo
And why honest communication is the only way out

If you’ve ever found yourself waiting, hoping, or trying to make something become what it isn’t this one will land.

I was an imperfect human recently

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +1100

In this episode I share a very human, very imperfect moment I had with a traffic control guy outside my house, one of those interactions where two egos meet, both think they’re right, and things go downhill fast.

He was frustrated. I was frustrated. And instead of choosing kindness, clarity, or calm, went high and mighty. Righteous. Chest out. Ego leading the charge.

And he did the same. Two strangers, both convinced we were justified, making each other’s day crap within 30 seconds.

That’s the work of living authentically, catching yourself when you’ve acted out of alignment, owning it, and doing something about it. And as Steve and I went for our walk, I knew exactly what I needed to do: apologise.

Not because I was “wrong.” Not because he “deserved it.” But because I know how I want to show up in this world and that moment wasn’t it.

This episode is a reminder that authenticity isn’t perfection, it’s repair. It’s self-awareness put into action. It’s choosing who you want to be, even after an ego slip.

Have a listen. It’s a good one.

Kat & Steve - I think we're old and grumpy

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +1100

This episode is exactly what it sounds like. No love. No light.

The other day, Steve and I were driving in the car airing our annoyances, the stuff that grinds our gears and halfway through we looked at each other and thought, why not share this? Because this is what relationships look like too.

It’s not always kissing and cuddling and smooching. It’s not always conscious communication and being hyper-aware. Sometimes it’s just getting things off your chest, laughing about it, and moving on.

This one’s light, funny and very human. If you’re in a relationship and thought you were doing it wrong because it isn’t all rosy all the time, you’re not, it's just life.

Checking in on my word of the year - unwavered

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +1100

In this episode, I share my reflections on my word for this year, unwavered, and how it’s moved itself through me this year.

Change happens in our home all the time. With the girls, with living arrangements, with things shifting, coming, going and for years, that stuff used to mess with me big time. I’d get thrown off, attached to the plan we just made that now suddenly changed again, stuck in my rigidness.

But this year this was the year I let that shit go. I stopped gripping so tightly to “how it was supposed to go” and softened into what’s here. It has been incredibly freeing.

The second part of the episode is about coming back to what you wrote at the start of the year with what you wanted to stop, start, and keep doing and actually checking in with how you went with that intention.

Let's check in together legends.

Kat & Steve - if we had a magic wand, what would we adjust about the other?

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +1100

We laugh a lot in today's episode, sharing what we would adjust about the other if we had a magic wand. In the many laughs, there are also some good truths to listen to, truths that we can tap into and, pardon the pun, adjust.

When you listen, see if you can hear where we can consider that other a little more, respect the other a little more, communicate with the other a little more gently. We of course can choose whether or not to adjust our ways, or not, either way, the truth is there.

Enjoy today's episode. We hope it brings you laughter, relatability and some home truths into your relationship.

Kat & Steve.

My choice and process around not having children

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +1100

This episode is my honest answer to a listener question (thank you, Sarah from Toronto): How did you land at the decision not to have children?

I’ve always known I wanted deep love, but I never felt that same undeniable, biological, aching pull toward having children. I assumed I’d probably have them one day but it was never a soul-deep calling for me.

When I met Steve who was very clear he didn’t want any more children, the question came to the front of the table. Is this something I genuinely want? Or something I think I should want? Can I be at peace with his door being closed while mine is maybe open, but not exactly active?

Becoming a step-mum gave me a real, unfiltered taste of parenthood. The joy. The mess. The demands. The shifts. It didn’t make the decision for me, but it did make me reflect deeply on the life I want to live and the woman I want to be.

But if I’m honest, my biggest tension wasn’t about biology or longing. It was guilt.
Guilt about not giving my mum a grandchild because she would be the most loving Lola on this earth.

The conversation I had with my mum softened everything. When I cleared that guilt with her, I finally felt free to choose the life that is true for me.

This episode is for anyone navigating choice, pressure, timelines, guilt, or the quiet knowing in your gut that doesn’t match what the world tells you you “should” want.

Kat & Steve - Scenic Sundays: faith, flow, and letting go of the plan

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Steve and I share our learnings (and laughs) from Scenic Sundays - a day once a month we set aside with no agenda, no plan, and no rush. Just faith, flow, and following what feels good.

Scenic Sundays have brought us some of the greatest memories and moments in our relationship. They're the kind of days that remind you what presence actually feels like: deep chats in the car, spontaneous detours, belly laughs, and finding new places we never would’ve discovered if we’d stuck to a plan.

We talk about:

How Scenic Sundays began and what it’s taught us
Letting go of rigidity and trusting intuition to lead the way
The balance between structure and spontaneity
How creating space for flow opens up new ideas and opportunities

This three year ritual we've committed to leans into our motto, 'adventure awaits'. It's probably one of my most favourite things in our relationship.

Deep down, you know

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +1100

You know how you want to live. You know how you want to feel in your body, in your relationship, in your life. You do know.

But so often, we tell ourselves we don’t. We tell ourselves we’re confused, unsure, not ready. We hide behind stories that keep us stuck in the same patterns, even when something inside us is screaming for change.

The gap between what we know and how we’re living is often the very thing keeping us disconnected, tired, resentful, or restless.

Isn't it about time you did something about calling yourself home to what you already know and taking the next real step toward living it? Listen to the episode if you are in need of the reminder that you, already know.

Kat & Steve - Perimenopause both our perspective

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Before I knew about perimenopause, Steve had never even heard the word either. Like a lot of men (and women), it just wasn’t on his radar until it started showing up in real time, through my body, emotions, and energy. And now, thankfully, medical professionals talking about it out loud.

We talk about:

What this season has looked and felt like from his perspective
The changes he’s noticed in me and in our relationship
How we keep the conversation open so he knows how to best support me
Why it’s so important for couples to talk about this, even when it’s uncomfortable or unknown

This episode is for anyone who’s in or around this stage of life. You don't have to be in a relationship with someone going through it. It could be your mum, your sister, your aunt, your friend.

Perimenopause doesn’t just affect the person going through it. It affects the people around us too. And when we talk about it openly, it becomes something to navigate together.

The decade of enough - reflections as I turn 40

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +1100

As I approach my 40th birthday, I wanted to take a moment to honour the decade that’s brought me here, my 30s. The years of building, pushing, proving, creating, and doing the deep work to come home to myself.

In the two weeks leading up to my birthday, I sat down with myself and wrote out some powerful reflection statements and journalled out the answers. A moment to say thank you for everything that’s shaped me, and to consciously step into what’s next; a decade I want to feel rooted, easeful, aligned, and full of quiet significance.

This episode is for anyone standing at a threshold. A birthday, a life change, a transition, that in-between space where you can feel something new calling you forward.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to stop pushing and start allowing… to stop chasing “more” and start honouring “enough,” this one’s for you.

Kat & Steve - When your kids are growing up

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Steve and I talk about the season we’re in as his girls turn 16 and almost 19, a chapter we used to ache for when they were little and life was full-on. They're more independent, seeking their own adventures and opportunities, and the this time of life we never thought could come fast enough, is here.

Back then, we dreamed about what freedom would look like. We talked about moving to Europe the minute they turned 18, chasing adventure, and living this big, wide-open life. But now that we’re actually here, something’s shifted.

We’ve changed. We love adventure and I've no doubt we'll pave our own path once they fly the soup. But we've also found contentment and peace in our reality and have realised more and more that we love the lives we lead. And what we once pined for doesn’t have the same pull it used to.

Enjoy this episode of us discovering our new phase of life.

Can I be loved?

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +1100

How do you let go of the old way when it’s the very thing that built you? How do you trust a new rhythm when the old one got you here?

Today, I share ...

The 'doing' voice that tells me stay on it, stay in it, don’t you dare let go
The fears that if I slow down I’ll disappear, become invisible, waste my potential
The soul voice that whispers, there’s another way
What it feels like to be wedged between don’t-let-go and surrender-darling

This is the work of the soul. To risk being smaller in the eyes of my own ego so I can be bigger where it actually counts, inside my own life.

If you’re terrified of letting go, yet aching for something softer, truer, and more sustainable… you’ll feel this one.

Kat & Steve - Using Esther Perel's cards for deeper conversation

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +1000

After eight years together it’s easy for Steve and me to fall into the rhythm of everyday questions like what’s for dinner? how was your day? and forget to ask the kind of questions that keep curiosity and intimacy alive.

Recently, we’ve been using Esther Perel’s Where Should We Begin? cards as a way to speak more deeply about topics and explore conversations we wouldn’t usually tap into. In this episode, we pulled a card that asked:

What is one thing you wish you had been told as a child?

We each share our answers, the reflections that came with them, and what this kind of intentional curiosity does for our relationship.

This episode is an invitation to remember that love doesn’t just grow on autopilot. It grows when we keep showing up with openness, playfulness, and a willingness to learn about each other, even and especially, years in.

Love after loss

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +1000

I sit with Ashley Hayball-Heald, a previous client of mine, who is a widowed, brave woman, who let love in again after her husband died. She tells the story of how she navigated grief, kids, other people’s opinions, signs from her husband who died, and what it looks like to say yes again to love.

Ashley is the founder of Team Hayball and Find Your HOPE. She coaches widows to find their hope again amidst tough times. She’s remarried now, but that didn’t come easily. She’s been through the dark nights, the silence, the judgments, the doubts. She knows what it looks like when life breaks you, and what it takes to slowly piece your heart back together.

If you’ve lost someone, or you’re holding space for someone who has, or you’re just someone who believes love always has the capacity to show up again, this one’s for you.

Kat & Steve - We're not good at pretending everything's 'fine'

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Steve and I talk about something we both know all too well: that awkward, subtle distance that can build up in a relationship when you’re not saying what you’re really feeling.

We recently found ourselves in a place of disconnection, nothing dramatic, no big argument, just a series of micro misunderstandings, missed cues, and moments where we assumed instead of asked. Steve played the, 'everything is fine' card. I kept going into the, 'ah, no it's not'.

We talk about:

The quiet buildup that leads to emotional distance
How easy it is to misread or misinterpret each other when we’re not fully present
Why the “I’m fine” act only works for so long before resentment starts to settle in
And what it took to finally come back into honest connection

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt a disconnect but didn’t quite know how to name it. For anyone who’s ever gone through the motions while something unspoken sits between you.

I was so busy trying to not be my mum, I missed 'seeing' here

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +1000

I share a deeply personal letter to my mum, a letter I’ve been slowly writing in my heart for years, and only now have the words, the softness, and the honesty to say out loud.

It’s about the part of me that believed I had to do more to be more.
That my worth was measured by my output, by my ambition, by how different I could be from the women before me. And how, in trying so hard not to be like my mum, I missed just how extraordinary she truly is.

This is a letter of humility and of finally seeing my mother for who she is, not just the woman who raised me, but the woman whose quiet strength, loving presence, and deeply caring nature are exactly what I once thought I had to outgrow and now deeply admire.

If you’ve ever wrestled with your identity, with the stories you’ve inherited about what it means to matter or if you’re only now realising how much your mum gave, loved, and shaped you this episode will land deep.

Sometimes the people we tried not to become were the exact ones we needed to learn from all along.

Remembering what decency looks like when travelling

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +1000

After witnessing a series of moments on my recent travels left me gutted.

People standing on coral. Ignoring signs that asked not to disturb nesting wildlife.
Disrespecting sacred sites with noise, ego, and entitlement.

This episode and letter is a call to all of us who travel to remember that we are guests. That we’re not entitled to the land, the wildlife, or the culture. That not everything needs to hold personal meaning for it to deserve our care and respect.

I speak about the pain of watching people override warnings and traditions. About how easy it is to forget we’re not the only important species on this planet. And how sometimes, staying on the path literally and metaphorically is the most respectful thing we can do.

This episode is a love letter to the earth, to those who hold sacred traditions, and to the animals just trying to nest, rest, and live. And it ends with the Tiaki Promise a beautiful, grounded commitment to travel with heart, care, and consideration.

“To care for land, sea and nature.
Treading lightly and leaving no trace.
To travel safely, showing care and consideration for all.
And to respect culture, travelling with an open heart and mind.”

This isn’t about shaming. It’s about remembering what decency looks like.

Kat & Steve - 5 things that annoy us about each other

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Steve and I lay it all out in this one, the little daily things or habits we find annoying or frustrating about each other.

It’s funny, it’s honest, and it’s the kind of real-life stuff that happens in every relationship but rarely gets talked about out loud. From petty habits to personality quirks, we share them openly with plenty of laughs in this one.

We all know that loving someone doesn’t mean they don’t drive you up the wall sometimes. We thought we'd have some fun with this episode.

To the part in you that won't let up, listen up

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +1000

I share a letter I wrote to the part of me that still believes I have to prove my worth to matter.

The part that panics when I slow down. That thinks I’m losing my edge if I’m not pushing. That tells me if I’m not doing, I must be failing.

This letter is from my truth to my ego. From the grounded part of me that knows there’s another way. A slower, more intentional way of living that isn’t fuelled by fear, but by presence. Substance.

I speak to what it’s like to walk away from the version of yourself that hustles for love, success, and validation and how confronting it can be to choose peace over performance.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re only as good as what you achieve, if rest makes you feel guilty, if part of you still believes you have to earn your enoughness, this one’s for you.

Kat & Steve - Step-parenting and the change of family dynamics

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Steve and I share about the reality of step-parenting and family dynamics, especially what happens when a step-parent enters a home that already has its rhythm, its ways, its rules.

Even when you try so hard not to disrupt the dynamic, the truth is, it changes. Because it has to. There's no way around it.

We talk about:

How the dynamic shifts when a new adult comes into the mix
Why it’s so bloody hard even when your intentions are good
The messiness of getting it wrong, being misunderstood, and still showing up anyway
The importance of self-awareness, communication, and staying on the same team

This isn’t a polished story. It’s real life. The kind that takes time, patience, and a lot of checking yourself. If you’re in a blended family, a new relationship with kids in the mix, or navigating the slow road of becoming a unit, this one’s for you.

Real talk about money - what is 'your' enough?

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, I take you back to a question that unraveled a lot for me: What is enough? Especially when it comes to money.

A few years ago, I was chasing the magic million. I thought hitting that number would mean I’d made it as a coach. As if that was the only metric that mattered.

Then I stopped and I asked what’s actually enough for me?

That question cracked something wide open. I started looking at my money differently. I got right up close to it, every single detail. I sat down with a spreadsheet and went through my finances with the kind of fine-tooth comb you use when you’ve had lice. No stone left unturned.

I calculated what it really costs for me to live on planet Earth, from groceries to business expenses, house payments, taxes, ETFs, donations, subscriptions, clothes, the lot. I factored in how Steve and I have set up our money together and got clear on what my version of enough actually looks like.

What I found was sobering. Eye-opening. And a bit of a slap. Because the million-dollar goal was never mine. It was a borrowed dream. And I would’ve kept pouring out energy I didn’t have chasing something that was never mine to strive for in the first place.

This episode is for anyone who’s been running on the treadmill of “more,” wondering why it never feels like enough. Maybe it’s time to stop and ask what your enough actually is.

Kat & Steve - repelling energy and how it messes with relationships

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, Steve and I talk about something we’ve both played into in our relationship - repelling energy. That vibe you give off when you're fixated on what’s wrong with the other person, when you're simmering in judgment, frustration, or unmet and unvoiced expectations. And how that energy pushes away the very thing you actually want to feel with them: connection, closeness, understanding, safety.

This one’s for you if you're single and you're not calling in what you want, and if you're in a relationship driving the very thing you want further away due to behaviour you might not have looked at yet.

If you want to feel closer, more aligned, and less at war (internally or externally), this episode is for you.

A letter to myself, mid perimenopause shitstorm

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +1000

This episode is not wrapped in a bow.

It’s not a how-to. It’s not love and light. It’s not advice.

It’s a letter I wrote to myself from the middle of the hormonal hurricane that is perimenopause. From the rage that comes out of nowhere. The anxiety that doesn’t make sense. The noise in my head that feels relentless. The days where I don’t feel like myself and wonder if I ever will again.

I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only one. And maybe, if you’re in your own storm, this will help you feel less alone. Less crazy. Less like you’ve lost yourself.

In this episode, you’ll hear the truth. The mess. The noise. The reminder that even when it feels like you’ve lost yourself, you haven’t.

You're not broken. You're not mad. You're not weak. You're in it. That’s all.

And this is me, speaking from the inside of it to remind you that you’re not alone, and you will come back.

Kat & Steve - When you love each other but you’re in different headspaces

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Steve and I talk about a recent experience where I was activated by something in the media. A majorly messed up story that stirred old wounds and brought up big emotion.

It wasn’t easy. I felt tender, raw, and flat. And it would’ve been so easy for Steve to pull away or take it personally but instead he stayed close, even when it wasn’t comfortable. He loved me through it by holding space for me to be exactly where I was.

We speak openly about what that looked like for both of us and how being in different headspaces doesn’t have to mean disconnection, if we’re willing to communicate from truth and not reactivity.

I also share how I told my family:
“I’m not okay right now, but I will be. This isn’t about you. I’m just in something.”
Because I’ve learned that shutting down or punishing the people I love because I’m in pain only adds more layers to work through.

And Steve reflects on how much that honest communication helped him stay connected to me, instead of trying to guess what was wrong or getting defensive. We talk about how far we’ve come from those reactive “What’s up your ass?” kind of moments and how we now use well-framed conversations to navigate tough emotional terrain with love and respect.

If you’re in a relationship or in a family where one person’s heaviness can easily pull the whole ship off course, this episode is for you.

It’s about holding space, taking responsibility and learning how to stay connected even when you’re not in the same headspace.

Laying her to rest - the one that chased significance

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 06:00:00 +1000

There’s a version of me I’m laying to rest - the one who chased significance, importance, and recognition because deep down, she didn’t feel like she was enough without it.

She worked hard to prove she mattered. She strived for impact, for relevance, for acknowledgment. And sure, she did some incredible things… but it often came from a place of needing to feel like someone, instead of already knowing that she is.

In this episode, I speak honestly about what it’s been like to let go of that version of me - to stop feeding the identity that’s addicted to doing more to feel more worthy - and to allow in a simpler, more grounded life. One with substance over sparkle. Where the way I do life - how I love, how I care, how I be is more important than what I do.

This isn’t about playing small. It’s about coming home.
To a life that’s real.
To a self that’s already enough.

If you’ve felt the tug to stop proving and start living more honestly… this one’s for you.

Kat & Steve - When your partner's healing becomes part of yours

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, we share a really personal part of our recent family trip — visiting Auschwitz, and what that experience meant for Steve and his healing journey. This wasn’t just a tourist stop for us. It was something Steve felt deeply called to do — to stand there, to feel it, to face a piece of his history, bloodline, and to keep doing the work of processing and healing.

I talk about what it looked like to support him through that. Not fix. Not rescue. But stand by him, hold space, and let him be where he needed to be — emotionally, physically, spiritually. And Steve shares what it meant to feel genuinely supported, not rushed or managed, but truly cared for and held.

We also reflect on how big moments like this shape a relationship. When one person heals, the ripple hits both. It deepens the connection. It builds trust. It strengthens the kind of love that grows not just in the good times, but in the hard ones.

It’s a vulnerable share — and one we hope reminds you of the power of showing up for each other in the hard, healing, holy moments of life.

Perception vs Reality — What You Think You See

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +1000

It’s easy to look at someone’s life online and think, “Damn, they’ve got it all sorted.” The polished posts, the reels, the programs, the podcast—it can look like there’s a whole team behind it all.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it actually looks like behind the scenes of my business. I’ve got one team member—my assistant—and the rest? I do myself. I record this podcast from home. I edit it. I upload it. I use AI tools to help with captions. I answer my own DMs. I’m in it, just like so many others out there who are doing big things with lean teams and real lives.

I’m sharing this not for sympathy or applause, but because this is the reality for a lot of people—but barely anyone’s saying it. And when we don't talk about it, it creates this perception that if you're not doing it all effortlessly with a huge support crew, you're somehow behind.

This episode is a reality check. A permission slip. A reminder that what you see online isn’t the full picture.

Kat & Steve - Being on the same team as parents

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, Steve and I open up about what it really means to be on the same team as parents—especially in the moments where we don’t fully agree, tempers are flaring, or it would be easier to throw each other under the bus because it's easier.

We talk about:

What “same team” actually means to us in real, practical terms
How we handle disagreements behind the scenes so we can show up united in front of the girls
Why we believe alignment matters more than always being in agreement
How presenting a united front has strengthened our relationship and created more safety and stability at home

This isn’t about being the perfect parenting duo. It’s about doing the inner work, respecting each other’s perspectives, and choosing the long game—for our partnership and our family.

If you’ve ever found yourself frustrated, disconnected, or unsure how to navigate parenting differences with your partner, this is a conversation we hope brings insight, honesty, and a reminder that you’re not alone.

Take the painfully simple steps

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 06:00:00 +1000

If you’re waiting for a breakthrough moment, a sign from the universe, or the “perfect” conditions to create change… this episode is your wake-up call.

Today I share with you the actual framework I use (and teach) to create meaningful, long-lasting change. No fluff. No hype. Just reality, honesty, and the painfully simple steps we often avoid because they seem too obvious or not enough.

Here’s what we cover:

Why change starts with meeting life exactly as it is.
The power of looking back—not to dwell, but to understand how you actually got here.
Looking forward—not with fantasy, but clarity on what you'd love life to feel and look like.
The unsexy magic of taking the next simple step. Then the next. Then the next.
Why playing the long game matters way more than chasing quick wins.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like change is too hard—get this episode in your earballs. Because the truth is, it’s not that complicated. It’s just uncomfortable. And most of us would rather stay in a known discomfort than face the unknown of change.

But if you're willing to show up, get honest, and take those painfully simple steps, everything shifts.

Kat & Steve - Our own wheels of life

Mon, 26 May 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Steve and I sit down and get real about where we’re currently at in life—what’s working, what’s not, and how we’re using the Wheel of Life to check in and recalibrate.

Our wheels of life are awesome, but they're always changing. It’s about being honest with ourselves, having open conversations about what needs attention, and making small, steady shifts toward a life that feels good and grounded.

We share:

How we each use the Wheel of Life to get clarity on where we’re thriving and where we’re not
The areas we’re currently focused on (yep, we’ve got imbalances too)
Why we both think this tool is one of the most practical, helpful ways to live more consciously and on purpose
How this practice helps us stay on the same page as a couple, without forcing it

If you’ve been feeling off, stretched, or unsure where to put your energy right now, this is a conversation to tune into. It’s not fancy or complicated. It’s just real life, reflected back to you in a simple way that helps you move forward with more intention.

Make peace with all the women you once were

Mon, 19 May 2025 00:00:00 +1000

There’s a version of you that came before this one. The one who didn’t listen to her intuition. Who stayed in relationships she knew weren’t right. Who kept her mouth shut to keep the peace. Who dimmed her light to make others comfortable. Who thought she had to be strong, unbothered, and bulletproof just to survive.

That woman? She deserves your love. Not your shame. Not your judgment. Not your silence.

She was doing her best with what she knew. With the patterns she hadn’t yet seen. With the pain she hadn’t yet named. With the wounds she carried like armour.

In this week’s episode, I speak to the importance of honouring her—not because we want to stay in her story—but because we need to thank her for getting us this far. And then, show her a better way.

It’s time to stop punishing the woman you used to be. It’s time to love her. Forgive her. And let her rest. She doesn’t need to run the show anymore. But she does need your compassion. Because without her, you wouldn’t be here.

And the woman you’re becoming? She’s watching how you treat the woman you once were. This one’s a deep one.

Kat & Steve - Micro-moments of disconnection

Mon, 12 May 2025 06:00:00 +1000

It’s not always the big ruptures that create distance in a relationship.
Sometimes, it’s the tiny moments. The micro-misses. The everyday ways we unknowingly make our partner feel unseen, unimportant, or left out.

In this episode, Steve and I talk about the slow burn of disconnection—what we call death by a thousand cuts—and how seemingly small behaviours can add up and quietly erode closeness over time.

For Steve, it’s when we’re having a cuddle and the dogs jump in, and I start patting them instead. It might look harmless, but in that moment, he feels like something else just took priority. For me, it’s when I’m mid-sentence and he glances at his phone or checks his watch.

It sends the message—without words—that what I’m saying doesn’t matter as much.

We share how these moments land for us, what they actually mean underneath the surface, and how we’re learning to own our impact, not just our intention.

This isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about being conscious of the little ways we disconnect… so we can choose to reconnect, again and again.

If you’ve ever felt brushed off, dismissed, or like you’re just not quite landing with your partner—this one will hit home.

Big love,

My wheel of life reality check

Mon, 05 May 2025 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, I’m sharing a season of my life I’ve never forgotten—because it brought me to my knees.

There was a time when my Wheel of Life was absolutely wrecked. I wasn’t taking care of my health. I had no grip on my finances. I was spiritually, emotionally, and physically burnt out—on autopilot, pretending everything was okay… until it wasn’t.

Eventually, life caught up with me. I couldn’t pay rent. I was scraping coins together for groceries. And it hit a point where I had to do something I never thought I’d do—I called my brother and asked for money. That phone call cracked me open. It was humbling, embarrassing, and confronting. But what it also did was lead me back to something I’d forgotten about: the Wheel of Life.

My dad reintroduced it to me not as some cheesy self-help tool—but as a mirror. To meet my life exactly where it was at. To stop pretending. To stop performing.
And to take responsibility—not shame—for how out of alignment I’d become.

This episode is real. And it’s a reminder that when life feels like it’s falling apart, sometimes it’s actually asking you to come back to what matters.

Kat & Steve - The conversations you're not having

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Is there something you want to bring up with your partner but are holding it back?

This question has the power to crack things open. Not to break, but to deepen. In this episode, Steve and I explore why it can feel so hard to bring up the things that actually matter—the stuff that’s sitting in your heart, the niggle that keeps coming back, the truth you’ve softened or silenced to avoid tension.

We talk about the very human reasons we hold back—fear of conflict, rejection, hurting someone we love, or rocking the boat when things feel “fine.” But the truth is that avoiding these conversations doesn’t keep the peace. It keeps the distance.

If we want real closeness, if we want a relationship where we feel each other—not just coexist—it requires a shared agreement to go there. To bring it up. To listen. To not punish each other for being honest. That’s the kind of love we’re here for.

We share what this has looked like for us—moments we’ve avoided things, moments we got it wrong, and how we’ve slowly built a relationship where these conversations are safe, even when they’re uncomfortable.

This one is an invitation:
To check in with yourself.
To ask the question.
And to consider—what’s the cost of not saying what’s true?

Big love,

When the heart pulls (and it doesn't make sense)

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +1000

You know that feeling when your heart is pulling you in a direction… and your mind is like, “Umm, what the actual fuck are you doing?”

That’s the space I’m in right now. The dance between fear and trust. Between the life I know and the unknown pull that keeps whispering, “this way.”

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about the kind of pull that doesn’t make logical sense, doesn’t add up on paper, and yet — something deeper knows. I share how this is the exact same pull I felt when I was a nurse, before I stepped into the work I do now. The curiosity. The resistance. The shaky-but-sure feeling that something bigger is moving through me.

If you’re in a moment of change, if your heart is whispering and your head is screaming, if you’re scared to follow the pull but scared not to… this episode is for you.

Let’s talk about the truth of it. The fear. The trust. And the courage it takes to say yes — even when you don’t have the full map.

Kat & Steve - Holding space for the one you love

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, Steve and I sit down to share a conversation we’ve been having privately for a while now — about the importance of true support in a relationship, especially when one person is going through a season of deep inner change.

Right now, Steve is in the thick of that kind of season. He’s been in deep contemplation about his life, his family, and what’s shaped him without even realising it. A huge part of that has been facing the generational impact of his family being murdered in Auschwitz. For so long, without even connecting the dots, he’s been carrying this invisible weight — the need to accumulate, achieve, control, and “secure” everything in his life as a way of trying to feel safe. But no matter how much he had… the safety never fully landed.

And that’s what’s starting to unravel now.

What we speak to in this episode is what it takes to hold space for each other when one of you is falling apart in the best possible way. Not fixing. Not rescuing. Not getting impatient or making it mean something about you. Just staying soft, curious, steady.

Steve shares how much it’s meant to him to feel met in this space — to not be rushed, or judged, or told how to move through it. And I speak honestly about what it’s like on the other side — to stay grounded in love and let someone evolve in front of you without needing to shape the outcome.

This one’s tender. Real. And a reminder that love doesn’t always look like doing something big — sometimes it’s in the quiet, consistent choice to just be there.

The afternoon of life

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, I’m talking about something that’s been landing deeply for me lately… the shift into midlife — and more importantly, the shift into living the life I’ve worked so bloody hard to create.

Over the last 17 years, I’ve poured energy, time, tears, grit, therapy, growth, healing, coaching, and a whole lot of “let’s go again” into building a life that’s actually in good knick. My relationships are honest, my work is aligned, my body is cared for, my mind is steady(ish), and my heart is full.

The wheel of life — that tool I teach, coach from, and reflect on often — is feeling juicy across the board. Not perfect, but solid. Lived in. Deepened.

And now I’m asking myself… What is this chapter about?

Carl Jung speaks of the “morning of life” and the “afternoon of life.” How the things that served us in the morning — chasing, striving, collecting — must be let go of in the afternoon to make room for new meaning. That’s what I feel unfolding now. The afternoon of life isn’t emptier, it’s just different. It’s more still. More honest. Less proving, more being.

So today I’m riffing on that. On letting myself enjoy my life without guilt. On not needing to earn joy or rest or a Wednesday spent in the garden. On trusting that this slower, steadier pace is not a backslide — it’s the reward. It’s the good life, lived.

🎧 Tune in, reflect, and if it resonates, share it with someone who's also entering the afternoon of their life — or maybe just starting to live like they’ve finally arrived.

Kat & Steve - The reality check we needed

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Steve and I were out on a hike recently, one of those soul-clearing walks where the body moves and the heart starts to open. We asked each other a simple but big question:

“If you died tomorrow, would there be anything you’d regret? Anything you wish you’d done, experienced, or seen?”

It hit us both, deeper than we expected.

And you know what surprised us? It wasn’t about all the things we hadn’t done yet. Not the trips we hadn’t taken, or the projects we hadn’t started, or some massive milestone we missed.
It was this: we wish we had allowed ourselves to actually enjoy the life we already have—more.

Like, properly soak it in. Let it land.
Not rush through it or stress over what’s next or what still needs fixing… but actually be in it.

It was such a wake-up call. Because we’ve worked hard to create a life we love. We’ve made big changes, taken risks, healed a lot. We’ve built something beautiful together—and yet, even with all of that, there’s still this pull toward the next thing, the improvement, the fixing, the striving.
And in that striving, we realised: we’ve been skimming past the gold that’s already here.

This conversation cracked us open.
We spoke about how hard it is sometimes to actually let ourselves enjoy what we’ve created. How uncomfortable it can feel to pause and receive.
Because there’s a part of us, like many of us, that still carries the old programming—“you’ve got to earn your joy,” “you’ve got to keep pushing,” “don’t get too comfortable.”

But what if this—this right here—is already enough?
What if joy isn’t something we have to chase or achieve, but something we’re allowed to feel now, exactly as things are?

That question on the hike reminded us: we don’t want to get to the end of our lives having missed it.
Missed the softness of the morning light, or the way our daughter laughs, or the quiet moments where everything’s okay and nothing needs to be fixed.

So this episode is us going there. Raw, reflective, and real.
We’re sharing the stuff that stirred in us, and what we’re choosing to do differently now—not later, now—so we can actually live the life we’ve got.

We hope it gets you thinking. Maybe even helps you pause.
Because it’s so easy to forget—but this moment?
It’s the one we’ve got. Let’s not miss it.

Not the soft, gentle kind that feels like a warm hug—but the gritty, uncomfortable kind that stretches you in all directions while whispering, “You asked for this.”

Because I did. I asked for a soul level-up. I said yes to deeper alignment, more truth, more clarity.
And now I’m in the thick of it.
Not doing the work—being worked on.

There’s a quietness to this chapter. A stillness.
And to be honest? I don’t love it.
I feel tired. Lethargic. Foggy. Like I’m in some kind of energetic surgery and all I can do is lay still and let the reshaping happen.
Meanwhile, my mind is doing cartwheels.
“Why is this taking so long?”
“Am I going backwards?”
“Shouldn’t I be more productive?”
“How long will this take?”

And yet… the part of me that knows—the one not caught up in fear or timeline obsession—keeps reminding me:
This is the work.
This, right here.
The waiting. The resting. The allowing.
Letting go of needing to understand it all while I’m still inside it.

So if you’re here too—suspended between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming—I see you.
This space is sacred, even if it feels messy and slow.
Patience isn’t passive. It’s powerful.
And sometimes, the biggest transformation doesn’t come from what we do—but from what we’re willing to let be done to us.

So I’m here. In it.
Not rushing. Not resisting (well, trying not to).
Just holding myself gently in the becoming.

The Dance Between Faith & Action

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +1100

I found something the other day—a letter buried in the pages of my 2020 journal. A letter from my future self—2023 Kat—written to 2020 Kat. And reading it now, with the perspective I have today, it hit me in a way I didn’t expect.

At the time, I was deep in my own push-and-pull with faith and action. Some days, I’d sit back and wait for the universe to do its thing, expecting clarity to just arrive—for the right opportunities, ideas, and next steps to be delivered to me, neatly wrapped with a bow. Other days, I’d swing hard in the other direction—hustling, grinding, trying to do it all on my own, convinced that if I didn’t keep moving, everything would fall apart.

And the letter? It reflected exactly what I needed to hear back then.

My future self didn’t say, “Kat, just trust, the universe has got you.” She also didn’t say, “Kat, work harder, you’re not doing enough.”

She said, “Keep going. Keep showing up. Keep making space for what’s unseen, and also take the next best step. Don’t force. Don’t wait. Move in alignment, and trust that what’s meant for you will meet you along the way.”

And that’s it, isn’t it? That’s the dance.

We don’t just sit back and hope. And we don’t just push until we break. We trust and we move. We listen and we act.

You plant the seed, but you also water it.
You set the intention, but you also take the step.
You trust that life is guiding you, but you also meet it halfway.

So, if you’re in that place right now—either waiting too much or pushing too hard—I want you to ask yourself:

Where am I waiting when I should be moving?
Where am I forcing when I should be trusting?
Where am I out of balance in this dance?

Because the magic, the alignment, the things you couldn’t have orchestrated if you tried—they don’t just show up because you wish for them.

They meet you on the path.

The work never ends

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +1100

There’s something incredibly powerful about choosing yourself—not from fear, not from old wounds, but from deep, grounded self-worth. And today’s guest, KG, embodies that in every way.

If you’ve read Authentic: Coming Home to Your True Self, you’ll remember KG’s story—where she was, what she was navigating, and the work we did together to help her see her patterns, her ego, and what was running the show beneath the surface. Back then, she was in a relationship, doing the deep work of untangling old beliefs about her worth, love, and what she thought she had to do to be chosen.

Now? She’s in a completely different chapter—single, standing fully in her worth, and having walked away from that relationship not because of drama, not because of a breaking point, but because she knew in her bones it was time.

In this episode, KG shares what it was like to navigate the ending of that relationship with grace, respect, and clarity—without falling into old patterns of staying too long, doubting herself, or making herself smaller. We talk about what it really takes to exit something not because you’re running, but because you’re rooted in knowing what serves you.

She didn’t repeat her old cycles. She didn’t let her ego convince her to stay out of fear, guilt, or obligation. Instead, she leaned into everything we worked through—noticing the beliefs, challenging the narratives, and leading herself from truth rather than survival.

This is the kind of conversation that reminds us what’s possible when we do the real work—when we stop settling, when we stop making ourselves wrong for wanting more, and when we stand in the deep knowing that our worth isn’t up for debate.

KG’s story is one of courage, self-respect, and radical ownership—and I can’t wait for you to hear it. Let’s dive in.

From head to heart

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Lately, my head and my chest have been in a full-blown tug-of-war. So much for my word of the year—unwavered. If anything, my ego’s been working overtime to shake me.

Every morning, before I even opened my eyes properly, I’d wake up with a pit in my stomach, my chest tight with anxiety. My body was telling me something, but instead of listening, I got annoyed. Frustrated. Tried to push it away, pretend it wasn’t there. Classic move, right?

But one night before bed, I remembered—this is the work. Not running from it. Not suppressing it. Turning toward it. So I pulled out my journal, wrote it all down, gave my angst the mic, and let it have its say.

Then, I closed my journal, took a deep breath, and fell asleep. The next morning? Space. Ease. Like my body had exhaled a sigh of relief. And in that clarity, I saw what I’d been missing—I hadn’t been checking in with my heart.

So I asked it. And the first thing my heart said? I want to sleep under the stars.

Ha—nothing to do with the stress, the anxiety, the overthinking. Just a deep, simple truth. A reminder of something I’d been circling for a year—this hiking trip in Western Australia that I kept almost booking. In that moment, I knew. No more um-ing and ah-ing. No more waiting. My heart had spoken. I booked the trip.

Since then, I’ve been making space again. Asking my heart to guide me. To remind me how I do life—not by pushing, forcing, or keeping up with some illusion of success, but by trusting what I already know.

And just like that, I can breathe again.

This episode is for you if you’ve been stuck in your head, overthinking, gripping too tightly. If you’ve been feeling the weight of it all and have forgotten to check in with you. Let’s talk about what happens when we shift from head to heart.

At fifty she finally started to live

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Podcast Episode: Michelle’s Journey – From Fear to Freedom

There’s a moment in life where you realize—you’re either going to keep living the same story, or you’re going to change it.

Michelle, who you might remember as Jacqui from my book, was stuck in a life that wasn’t hers. She was scared of life, scared of what would happen if she actually listened to what she wanted and scared of what would happen if she never listened to callings within.

She knew deep down what she wanted to do, but she kept pushing it aside. She put up with behaviour that didn’t serve her, stayed in a marriage that was well and truly over, and ignored the quiet voice inside her that kept whispering, there’s more for you.

And then? She made room.

She gave herself the space to hear her own heart. To ask herself, What do I actually want? And to finally stop waiting for permission to live on her terms.

Now? She’s in a new relationship, working in a way that feels good for her, and has traveled near and far—hiking, road-tripping, saying yes to life in a way she never had before. And the wildest part? This all started in her fifties.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, scared, or like it’s “too late” to change. Michelle’s story is proof that it’s never too late to start living for you. That when you clear the space, when you stop filling your life with things that don’t serve you, what’s actually meant for you can finally find its way in.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign—this is it.

From hyper achiever to being at ease

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Two years ago, my client Lynn was living a life that looked successful on the outside but felt completely out of alignment on the inside. She was the ultimate people-pleaser and hyper-achiever, saying yes to everything and everyone, pushing herself to meet expectations that weren’t even hers. She had spent so long putting everyone else’s needs ahead of her own that she didn’t even know what her needs were anymore.

When we first worked together, she was exhausted. Disconnected. Stuck in a cycle that felt impossible to break. But something inside her knew—this isn’t it. And that knowing became her turning point.

Fast forward to today, and Lynn is free. She’s at ease. Comfortable in herself in a way she never thought possible. She’s no longer hustling for approval or shaping herself to fit into someone else’s version of success. Instead, she trusts herself. She honors what she needs. And she’s finally living from a place that feels true.

In this episode, we dive into what that journey looked like—the moment she realized she couldn’t keep living that way, the uncomfortable but necessary work of getting to know herself again, and what life feels like now that she’s stopped running and finally come home.

Her story is real, raw, and proof that you don’t have to stay stuck in a life that doesn’t feel like yours. You can change. You can come home to yourself. And it starts with the decision to do so.

Kat & Steve: Our path back to love

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +1100

One year married. One whole, wild, beautiful, messy, heart-opening year.

If you’d asked either of us years ago if we’d ever find a love like this, we’d have laughed—or maybe cried. Because before we found each other, we were convinced it wasn’t possible.

Steve was gutted in 2016. The kind of heartbreak that cracks you open and makes you swear, never again. So he dated. A lot. But he kept women at arm’s length, never letting anyone too close, never risking that kind of pain again. Love felt dangerous. Love was dangerous.

And me? I never thought I could be loved as I am. I had this deep belief that love had to be earned, that I had to contort myself to be chosen. So I kept choosing men who were emotionally unavailable—who couldn’t meet me, couldn’t see me, and definitely couldn’t love me in the way I longed for. And every time they didn’t, it just reinforced what I already believed: I am too much. I am not enough. I am unlovable.

But life—life had other plans for us.

Because despite all our resistance, despite our egos kicking and screaming, there was something deeper pulling us together. The intelligence of our hearts knew. Our inner knowing whispered, this is your person. But knowing and surrendering are two different things.

Our egos put up a fight. The stories, the wounds, the fear of being hurt again—it all came roaring to the surface. But love, real love, isn’t here to cater to the ego. It’s here to break it down. And that’s exactly what happened.

In this episode, we’re sharing our paths back to love—the fears we carried, the ways we tried to protect ourselves, and ultimately, the moment we both chose to trust in something bigger than our past pain.

Because love like this? It’s not something you find. It’s something you surrender to.

Listen in. It’s a special one.

When your truth won’t stay quiet

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +1100

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m pumped to bring Megan on for a chat—a legend whose story I shared in my book. Megan’s journey struck a chord with so many of you, and today, she’s here to share where she’s at now after making one hell of a bold and brave move to align her life with her authentic self.

If you’ve read her story, you’ll remember Megan was stuck in the thick of it—pregnant with her first baby, navigating in the toxicity of a workplace that no longer fit, and caught in that exhausting loop of indecision. Her ego? Oh, it was in full force, firing off fears like, You’ll never find anything better. You should just stay. But deep down, her heart was saying something else entirely: This isn’t it anymore.

When Megan and I worked together, I guided her through a process to cut through the noise—the ego chatter, the doubts, the shoulds—and reconnect with her truth. And man, when she hit that place of clarity, it was undeniable. Her decision was no longer about “right or wrong”—it was about alignment. She resigned, she created space, and she opened herself up to possibilities that were waiting to flow in.

Fast forward to now: Megan is here to share the ripple effect of choosing her authentic way forward. She’s crafting a life that fits her—her rhythm, her pace—and her creative spark is fully alive. She’s proof of what can happen when you stop running the same old patterns and give yourself permission to live from your truth.

This conversation is for anyone stuck in the dance of indecision, feeling the pull to live differently but unsure of what’s next. Megan’s story will show you what’s possible when you stop fighting your truth and start moving with it.

Kat & Steve - When life gets in the way of your relationship

Mon, 27 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +1100

This week, Steve and I are sharing the realness of something that’s happening in our lives right now. We’re both deeply plugged into the business area of our wheel of life—so much so that other areas, like our relationship, are starting to feel the pinch.

Don’t get me wrong, we’re all for diving into work when it calls, but when it comes at the cost of connection and ease in your relationship, it’s a problem if it's not tended to. And we’re feeling it. The usual flow we have between us feels a bit more strained, and we’ve noticed we’re slipping down on each other’s priority list.

The good thing? We’re aware of it. We’re not ignoring it or letting resentment build. We’re talking about it, acknowledging how we’re both feeling, and finding small ways to sustain us while we’re in this period of “on-ness.”

It’s not about overhauling everything or magically balancing it all—it’s about doing little things that keep the connection alive while we’re both focused on our work. Things like scheduling time to properly check in, sharing a laugh, or even just a hug that lasts a few extra seconds.

This episode is an honest look at what happens when one area of life takes the spotlight and how to navigate it without losing the plot (or each other). If you’ve ever felt like work or another part of life is taking over, you’ll relate to this one. Give it a listen—we’re all in this together.

When did you last feel enough, as you are?

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Authenticity isn’t about trying to be authentic. It’s not something you force or perform. It’s who you are when you’re in your most natural, relaxed state—when you’re not overthinking how you come across or questioning if you’re enough.

But let’s be honest—most of us aren’t living from that place. Instead, we’re driven by a constant undercurrent of “I’m not enough as I am.” That belief creeps into everything—how we show up, what we say, what we hold back, and how much we feel we need to prove.

You know what I’m talking about. It’s the laugh you force when you don’t find something funny. It’s saying yes when every part of you wants to say no. It’s staying quiet when you’ve got so much you want to say. And in those moments, a small part of you shrinks.

The truth is, most of us are living out of alignment because we’re stuck in stories and patterns that make us believe we’re only worthy if we’re more—more successful, more liked, more agreeable, more perfect. And those stories? They’re exhausting.

But here’s the thing: they’re not you. They’re layers of conditioning, old patterns you’ve picked up along the way. Authenticity lives underneath all of that, in the part of you that’s still there, waiting for you to drop the act and just be.

In this episode, we’re getting real about what keeps us stuck, why we struggle to feel enough, and how to come back to your relaxed, real, authentic self. Because when you strip it all back, that’s who you’ve always been. Let’s uncover her together.

Kat & Steve - Fighting over (literally) nothing

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +1100

In this episode, Steve and I are in a real-life scenario that could’ve turned into a full-blown issue—if we didn’t have the tools we do. And honestly? The “problem” wasn’t even real. It was one I’d made up in my head.

Here’s how it went down: I was feeling off with Steve. Frustrated, withholding love, and just carrying this low-level resentment. Add in a bit of LOL - I hadn’t actually communicated my needs to him. Not once. Instead, I expected him to read my mind, know what I needed, and magically fix it. Spoiler alert: he didn’t, and I got annoyed at him for it.

This is where one of our tools came into play: “Is there something we need to clear?” It’s a simple question, but it creates a space for honesty, connection, and truth. So, we used it, live on the podcast. I shared what was going on in my head, openly and vulnerably, even though it wasn’t pretty.

I admitted that I’d been expecting him to guess my needs and that my frustration wasn’t about him—it was about me not expressing myself. Just saying it out loud shifted everything. The heaviness lifted, and I landed back in my heart.

Steve, being the legend he is, listened without getting defensive. We talked it out, and by the end, what could’ve turned into a massive disconnect became a moment of deeper understanding.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever let an unspoken expectation create tension in their relationship. We share how to use this tool to clear the air and stay connected, even when things get messy. Because the truth is, your partner isn’t a mind reader, and you can’t hold them accountable for needs you don’t express.

Give it a listen—it’s a game-changer. And as always, we’d love to hear your thoughts and how this lands for you.

What do you want to start, stop and keep doing this year?

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Alrighty, I’m sharing three simple but powerful questions that can create real clarity and momentum in your life:

What do you want to start doing?
What do you want to stop doing?
What do you want to keep doing?

These questions are beautifully straightforward, yet the answers they bring up can be deeply insightful. They give you a chance to reflect on what’s truly working for you, what’s not, and where you want to direct your energy moving forward. Whether you’re at the start of a new year or just need a reset, these are the kinds of questions that can shift the way you move through your life.

In this episode, I also talk about calling in a word or theme for the year ahead. My word for 2025 is unwavered—to continue in a strong, steady, and consistent way. It’s a far cry from how my life used to feel, swinging between extreme opposites. I was either all in, burning myself out trying to prove something, or completely out, shutting down and withdrawing because I couldn’t keep up with the chaos I created.

But life isn’t lived well in the extremes. It’s in the steady, grounded space between where I’ve found real freedom. Approaching my life and the areas of it with a steadier, more intentional way has been an absolute game-changer. And that’s what unwavered means to me—showing up consistently, without needing to overdo it or collapse under the weight of it all.

If you’re feeling pulled to reflect on the year ahead, or if you’re craving a way to approach life with more clarity and steadiness, this episode is for you. Tune in now and let’s start, stop, and keep moving toward the life you want to create.

Kat & Steve - Our end of year process

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +1100

In our final episode for 2024, Steve and I sat down for what has become a cherished tradition: our annual Partner Reflections. This is a practice we hold close to our hearts because it’s about more than just looking back on the year—it’s about truly seeing each other.

During this time, we reflect on what we’ve observed in the other person throughout the year. We share where we saw them grow, the challenges they faced, what we’re proud of in them, and what we hope for them in the year to come. It’s not just about acknowledgment; it’s about creating a space where we both feel deeply noticed, valued, and appreciated for who we are and who we’re becoming.

This process is raw and real, and it always deepens our love and connection. There’s something incredibly powerful about hearing your partner articulate what they’ve noticed in you—not in passing, but with intentionality and care. It reminds us that we’re paying attention to each other, even in the busyness of life, and that we’re rooting for one another every step of the way.

We hope sharing this inspires you to try your own version of Partner Reflections. It’s a beautiful way to close the year with gratitude and connection and set the foundation for more love, growth, and alignment in the year ahead.

A welcomed abundance in 2024

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +1100

In this episode, I’m sharing my theme for 2024: Plentiful. When this word came to me, it felt expansive, almost too big for the version of me who was used to letting things in just a little at a time. But I knew it was the one. Plentiful—existing in or yielding great quantities, abundant—moved through my life in ways my little ego self couldn’t predict but my soul knew what was needed.

This theme cracked my heart open to what I had been rationing—love, freedom, joy, celebration, peace, pleasure. Things I’d been allowing in smaller doses, as if I didn’t deserve the fullness of them. But Plentiful asked me to stop limiting myself. It asked me to welcome and accept these things in abundance, not just when it felt safe or earned, but as my birthright.

It hasn’t always been comfortable. Letting in abundance means facing the parts of yourself that resist it. But the more I leaned into this theme, the more I realised how much beauty and growth comes when you stop holding back and start saying yes to more.

As you listen to this episode, I invite you to reflect: What was your theme for 2024? What are you ready to welcome into your life in greater quantities? What would it look like to fully embrace it, even when it feels bigger than what you’re used to? Let’s walk into the new year together, hearts wide open.

Kat & Steve - The dating game

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 13:00:00 +1100

In this episode of Ask Kat & Steve, we addressed a question from one of our listeners, Carole, about finding a mature man—something I know so many people can relate to. Steve shared some real gold from his dating experiences, talking about how he learned to be more intentional in how he approached dating. Early on, he realised the importance of vetting people better: asking deeper questions, jumping on a FaceTime call sooner rather than later, and paying attention to the vibe and connection right away.

But what really stood out was the clarity he brought to the process. Steve talked about setting a clear intention for the kind of energy he wanted in a partner. It wasn’t just about swiping based on looks—it was about looking deeper and trusting his intuition. That focus kept him from wasting time and energy on matches that didn’t align with what he was genuinely looking for.

For me, I shared how, for a long time, I attracted immature men—boys, really—because of where I was coming from. If I was feeling needy, I’d choose someone who reinforced that dynamic. And if I was in a hyper-independent phase, I’d attract people who might have been right, but I was closed. It wasn’t until I got more comfortable in myself—more grounded and aligned—that I started to see things more clearly. I could read the red flags, tune into my gut, and choose not to date someone if it didn’t feel right, rather than trying to force something that wasn’t there in the first place.

This conversation wasn’t just about dating tips; it was about the energy we bring to relationships and how that shapes who we attract. Whether you’re swiping on apps or meeting people in real life, it all starts with how well you know and trust yourself. That’s where the real shift happens.

UPDATE - Perimenopause journey

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +1100

In this episode, I’m sharing an update on my perimenopause journey, thanks to a member of my community asking the question. It's been a chapter of life that has been anything but predictable. Working with Dr. Kirstey Holland has been a game-changer. We discovered that my progesterone levels were low, which caused my estrogen levels to spike. The result? Mood swings that left me feeling completely unrecognisable, heavy periods, moments of rage, crying on the bathroom floor, and just this deep sense of being not me.

Since starting on progesterone cream and a stack of supplements to address my gut health, it’s like I’ve found my way back to myself. My digestion is functioning well, the bloating is gone, the brain fog has lifted, my libido is back, and my mood feels steady. For the most part, I’m asymptomatic, which feels like a massive win considering where I started.

That said, there’s one thing that still throws me: the forgetfulness. It sneaks up on me in moments when I’m speaking or being interviewed, and it shakes my confidence. I catch myself feeling embarrassed or even stupid, which can be hard to shake. But this is a part of the cycle, and I’m learning to meet it with kindness rather than frustration. This stage of life is teaching me patience, humility, and how to trust my body as it shifts and changes.

If you’re navigating perimenopause, know this: you’re not alone, and there’s help out there. It’s about finding what works for you, paying attention to what your body’s telling you, and giving yourself grace as you figure it out. This isn’t a chapter we need to go through in silence. Let’s talk about it.

Kat & Steve - Navigating blended families

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +1100

In this episode of *Ask Kat & Steve*, we answered a listener’s question about navigating the complexities of blended families. She asked how to handle the difficult, messy moments and how to eventually feel like she fits in as part of a real and authentic family. This is a question that hits home for us because we’ve lived it, and we know how challenging those “ick” moments can feel when everything seems out of sync.

Steve and I shared the key principles we come back to time and again: honest communication and understanding the unique dynamics of the kids in the family. It’s about paying attention to their triggers, quirks, and egos—knowing what sets them off and how to bring them back to their relaxed, authentic state of being. It’s not about fixing them but holding space for who they are while remaining grounded ourselves. No easy feat may I add!

We also talked about the work we do on ourselves, which is the foundation for everything. If we’re not checking in with our own triggers and patterns, we can’t show up as the united front the kids need. Blended families aren’t about pretending to be perfect or forcing connection; it’s about consistently doing the work to build trust, create safety, and let the relationships evolve naturally. It’s a beautiful mess.

Repairing the recent rupture with my bonus daughter

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +1100

In this episode, I share about a recent rupture between Mia, my bonus daughter, and me. It wasn’t a blow-up or anything dramatic, but it was one of those subtle disconnects that can quietly erode a relationship if left unchecked. She’d been popping in every day before and after school when she was with her mum, and while I love her , I found myself withdrawing—not because I didn’t want her around, but because I wasn’t voicing my own needs. The energy I was shutting down felt wrong, felt inauthentic, and I knew I had to address it.

So, we went for a walk. Walking often helps open up the conversation in a way sitting across a table can’t. I asked her why she pops in every day, and she explained how much those moments mean to her, because she misses us. I shared honestly how those pop-ins impact me—when I’m in the middle of something important with work or needing quiet time. That conversation opened up something in both of us. We weren’t trying to defend ourselves; we were just hearing each other out.

What came next was so simple yet so powerful. By acknowledging each other’s feelings and needs, we were able to agree on something that worked for both of us. It wasn’t about compromise in a way where someone had to lose. It was about meeting in the middle from a place of mutual respect and care. That repair felt real, grounded, and authentic, and it goes to show every damn time that facing these ruptures—no matter how uncomfortable—is what keeps relationships healthy and alive.

Kat & Steve - Why we sleep separately

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +1100

In this episode, Steve and I are breaking down the decision we made to sleep separately, which, at first, was just about his snoring. It was disrupting our nights, leaving me on edge, waiting to see if I'd get a full night's sleep or end up dragging myself through the next day. But as we moved into this new setup, we realised it was about much more than just noise.

The truth is, we both need different things at the end of the day. Steve winds down with a show or something on his screen, giving him that moment of mental break. I’m the opposite. I want quiet, my salt lamp, a candle, and a book that pulls me away from everything external. And I like being in bed by 9 pm, whereas he naturally leans into a later night. Our decision to sleep apart evolved into something we didn’t expect – we could actually honor our individual needs without it taking anything away from us as a couple.

And here’s the thing: we love it! Since making this change, we’re more connected because we're not hating on each other. There’s no underlying frustration, no waiting for someone else to adjust or sacrifice their comfort. We cuddle when we want to, we’re close in the mornings, and both of us wake up fresher, more grounded. It’s not a sign of distance; it’s a deeper respect for what each of us needs to be at our best, so that when we’re together, we’re fully there. For anyone feeling boxed in by what they think a relationship *should* look like, this is a reminder: authenticity doesn’t follow a rulebook.

How long are you going to let the story rob you?

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +1100

Today’s episode speaks to those quiet, insistent yearnings in our hearts—the ones we often overlook or silence because they seem too risky, or even impossible. These yearnings are like markers, guiding us toward authentic living, toward a life and self that truly feel like “home.” Yet, too often, old pains and familiar wounds override these inner pulls. We get trapped in predictable patterns, repeating behaviors we think will protect us but really only keep us confined, far from the life we’d love to live.

This is something I’ve experienced firsthand, how the wounds we carry have a way of weaving into our habits, and they convince us that staying put, sticking to what we know, is the safest option. But what’s at stake when we keep ignoring our deepest yearnings? The cost is our authenticity—our ability to live and express who we genuinely are, free from the masks and patterns we hide behind.

In today’s episode, I’m here to speak directly to that part of you—the one that’s ready to consider, or even take, the next step toward living a life aligned with who you are at your core. It might feel confronting or uncomfortable, but that discomfort is a signal that something real is knocking, something that wants to be heard and finally acknowledged.

Promises worth making and keeping

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 06:00:00 +1100

So, here's the thing. We all make promises, right? Promises to ourselves about showing up, doing the things we say matter to us, and yet sometimes—especially when we’re tired, grumpy, or just not feeling it—we slack off. I had one of those mornings. Crap sleep, not in the mood, and all I wanted to do was skip my 3-good-minute practice. I almost didn’t do it. But in those three minutes—literally just three minutes—everything shifted. I was reminded of just how much those small, oh-so-little practices actually are treasure for the soul. They’re not just “habits” or “things to tick off the list.” They’re a way to reconnect, to remind ourselves of who we are, and what we care about.

That got me thinking—where are we placing our fucks? Are we giving our energy to the promises we said we'd make matter? And if not, why? Why do we say these things are important but then ditch them when the mood doesn’t feel right? It’s in these little moments, these small practices, that we build the foundation for the big things. And when we keep skipping them, what we’re really skipping is the chance to nourish ourselves on a deeper level.

After my 3-good-minute practice, a message came through so clearly: it’s the simple things that do funny things to our hearts. Moments like watching the moon’s shine, the stars, the wind moving through a plant, and it hit me—those simple, quiet moments have so much more to offer than the ego could ever recognize. They’re where the magic is. So, no matter how tired, grumpy, or off I am, I’ll keep showing up for those three good minutes because they move me in ways I can’t even explain. And I bet they’ll do the same for you if you give them a chance.

Moving to the different rhythms of life

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 06:00:00 +1100

In today's episode I talk about the rhythms of life and why it’s so damn important to recognize and respect them. Life isn’t meant to be lived in a constant sprint, nor is it about chilling in sloth mode all the time. It’s about knowing when to sprint, when to run, when to jog, when to walk, and when to just sit the fuck down and embrace the nothingness. Each rhythm has its own place and purpose, and if we’re always stuck in one gear, we end up paying the price—whether it’s burnout or letting our dreams slip through the cracks.

Coming off the back of my book launch and tour, I’m deep in this right now. The pace has shifted. I’ve hit that phase where I’m taking a slow-ass walk, and it’s exactly what I need. I could easily get caught up in the momentum and keep running, but I know better. If I push myself to sprint after months of nonstop effort, my well-being will suffer. And let’s be real, what’s the point of all the success if I’m too exhausted to actually enjoy it? The slow walk isn’t about being lazy or slacking off; it’s about preserving my energy and recalibrating before the next push. It’s intentional. It’s necessary.

It’s not always easy, though. There’s a little voice in my head saying, “You should be doing more,” trying to convince me that if I’m not moving at full speed, I’m somehow failing. But I’m choosing to trust the rhythm I’m in right now because I know what’s at stake if I don’t. There’s a cost to living in a constant sprint—it’s your well-being, your peace of mind. But there’s also a cost to staying in the land of “sit back and wait,” where you’re not pushing at all, and that’s the cost of your potential, your dreams, your growth.

So, wherever you’re at in the rhythm of your life, honor it. If you need to sprint, give it everything you’ve got. If you’re in a walking phase like I am right now, lean into it. The rhythm will change, as it always does, but what matters is that you’re paying attention to the pace your life is calling for.

Kat & Steve - Remembering what matters

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 06:00:00 +1100

Steve and I had one of those weeks where we both found ourselves caught up in focusing on what wasn’t going right, what was missing, or what we thought we should be doing better. It happens, right? You get into a headspace where you’re just seeing everything through this lens of ‘not enough.’ And when you’re in that space, it’s not just you who feels it; it impacts the whole dynamic. We were both touchy and disconnected, almost like roommates just getting by.

Then we decided to actually talk about it, which—let’s be honest—can be hard to do when you’re in that kind of mindset. But as soon as we acknowledged what was going on, it was like a weight lifted. We decided to make a conscious shift, focusing on what we do have and what’s right here, right now. And it changed everything. It didn’t just lighten our moods; it lifted the whole vibe in the house.

That night turned into one of those spontaneous, beautiful moments where we found ourselves singing, dancing, and just being present with each other. It wasn’t planned or forced; it was just a natural result of deciding to show up differently. It reminded me how quickly things can turn around when you’re willing to shift your perspective—even just a little bit. Sometimes, it’s the smallest adjustments that lead to the most significant changes.

A real life update

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 06:00:00 +1000

I want to share some real-life updates with you – the and-ness of life. My life right now is amazing. My book is out there, I’m working with incredible clients, and I feel deeply aligned with my purpose. But here’s the thing – alongside all of that, my old patterns still show up. Those sneaky thoughts that want to pull me back into old ways of thinking, like doubting myself, or feeling like I need to rush to get "there" – whatever 'there' is.

This podcast episode is about embracing both: the highs and the challenges. Life isn’t about waiting to reach some destination where everything’s perfect. It’s about recognising that great things can happen while difficult things are happening too. I’m in the very practice right now that it’s okay to hold space for both – to feel gratitude for the good, and at the same time, navigate the hard stuff without making it mean I’m doing something wrong.

We’re so conditioned to think life should be all sunshine or all storm – but that’s not the whole picture. It’s the and-ness of life that we need to normalise. We can be thriving in one area while still working through old patterns in another. It’s all part of the ride. So, let’s talk about how we can navigate this together without constantly chasing the illusion of “there.” We’re already here, and that’s more than enough.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Gratitude

Mon, 16 Sep 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Lately, Steve and I have been making a real effort to focus on gratitude, and it’s been a game changer. It’s easy to fall into the trap of noticing what the other hasn’t done, isn’t doing, or the little habits that get under your skin. But with gratitude, it shifts where our attention goes. Instead of zeroing in on what’s missing, we’re paying attention to what’s right in front of us—what we *are* doing for each other.

It’s not fluffy or forced, either. Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything is perfect, but it keeps us from getting stuck in the usual patterns of taking things for granted. Steve doesn’t need to do anything huge to make me feel appreciated. It’s the small stuff, like how he’ll step up and do something I didn’t expect, or even just his consistency that I might’ve overlooked before. When I take a second to actually notice, it shifts my mindset from irritation to, "Yeah, he’s got my back."

And the thing is, when we make gratitude a habit, it creates less space for resentment to build. We all have annoying habits or things we forget to do, but when we’re genuinely practicing gratitude, those things don’t seem as big of a deal. It keeps the focus on what’s working, and we end up appreciating each other more for it. It’s not magic, but it definitely helps keep things in perspective.

Perimenopause is here and I'm talking about it!

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Perimenopause—who knew this was even a thing? Not me! I always thought menopause was something that just suddenly happened when you hit a certain age, but perimenopause? That’s a whole different beast, and I’m right in the thick of it. It’s like this sneaky, slow-motion transition where your body starts doing things you never expected, and you’re left wondering what the hell is going on.

I’ve been navigating it as best as I can, but let me tell you, it hasn’t been easy. There are days when I feel like I’m losing my mind—literally. The brain fog, the mood swings, the physical changes—it's all so intense. It’s like my body is rewriting the rulebook, and I didn’t get the memo. I’ve been sharing these frustrations openly on Instagram because, honestly, I had no idea this was even a thing, and I know I’m not alone. If I can shine a light on what perimenopause really looks like, maybe it’ll help someone else feel a little less lost.

Thankfully, I’ve called in the big guns—Dr. Kirstey Holland. She’s been an absolute game-changer, helping me get my gut, brain, and hormones back to some kind of new normal. It’s a journey, and it’s not about getting back to the old me, but finding a new balance, a new way of being in this body that’s changing whether I like it or not. I’m learning to work with these changes, rather than against them, and it’s been a real lesson in patience, acceptance, and finding new ways to care for myself.

If you’re in this with me, just know you’re not alone, and it’s okay to reach out for help. This isn’t something we have to navigate on our own, and there’s power in sharing our stories and supporting each other through it.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & True Support

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 15:00:00 +1000

Lately, I've been reflecting on what truly makes a relationship successful, and one thing stands out: in a strong, healthy relationship, you never try to bring the other person down when they're shining in their light. Instead, you lift them up, cheer them on, and celebrate their successes as if they were your own. As I'm gearing up for the launch of my book, I've been feeling this more than ever, especially with Steve, my husband, by my side.

Steve has been my #1 cheerleader through this entire process. There hasn’t been a single drop of insecurity or jealousy—just pure, unwavering support. He’s the first to encourage me, to remind me of how far I've come, and to push me to keep going when I start doubting myself. It’s a kind of support that makes me feel even more connected to him because I know he's genuinely happy to see me succeed.

In moments like these, I realize just how lucky I am to have a partner who is not only secure in himself but also deeply invested in our shared journey. Steve’s encouragement has allowed me to shine even brighter, knowing that he’s right there with me, cheering me on every step of the way. It's a reminder that in the best relationships, you both rise together, and that kind of love and support is what truly makes a partnership thrive.

All In Good Time

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Recently, I found myself journaling about the phrase "all in good time." As I was writing, I noticed how much my ego wanted to rush, push, and brute force my way through the process. There was this constant sense of urgency and impatience, a nagging feeling that if I didn't hurry, everything would fall apart. Beneath this impatience, I recognized a deeper, more profound fear of failure, especially with the launch of my book.

The pressure I was putting on myself was immense. I felt like I had to get everything right, and get it right quickly. My mind was racing with thoughts of deadlines, expectations, and the endless to-do lists that seemed to grow longer by the minute. In the midst of this chaos, the simple phrase "all in good time" emerged. It was like a gentle reminder from a wiser, calmer part of myself to slow down and trust the process.

These four words—"all in good time"—became a mantra that helped ease the angst and stress I was feeling. Every time I felt the urge to rush or push too hard, I would remind myself of this phrase. It acted as an anchor, keeping me grounded and bringing me back to the present moment. I realized that success doesn't come from forcing things to happen, but from allowing them to unfold naturally and organically.

By embracing "all in good time," I've been able to release some of the pressure and find a more balanced, peaceful approach to my work. It’s a reminder that everything has its own pace, and that forcing things often leads to burnout and frustration. This mindset has kept me close to the ground, more connected to my purpose, and less caught up in the whirlwind of my ego’s demands. It's a lesson I'm grateful for, and one that I hope to carry with me as I continue on this journey.

What's your relationship with listening?

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Lately, I've been immersing myself in the art of listening, and it's been a transformative journey. I started journaling about my experiences with listening, prompted by Julia Cameron's book The Listening Path. Her insights have guided me to pay closer attention not only to the words people say but also to the deeper meanings and emotions behind them. Through my journaling, I've begun to notice patterns in my own listening habits, especially within my family dynamics.

One of the biggest revelations has been realising how often I cut people off, especially my family members. I catch myself assuming what they're going to say next or tuning out when I think I already know the gist of their message. Journaling about these moments has helped me become more aware of them. It's humbling to see how these habits can create distance in our relationships and prevent truly meaningful connections.

By consciously working on these tendencies, I'm learning to be a better listener towards the people I love, allowing them to fully express themselves without interruption. This practice has not only deepened my relationships but also enriched my understanding of those around me. It's amazing how much more you can learn about someone when you genuinely listen without jumping to conclusions or planning your response while they're still talking.

I invite you to join me on this journey of becoming a better listener. Pay attention to how you listen to others—notice when you might be cutting them off, assuming their next sentence, or tuning out. Journaling about these observations can be a powerful tool to deepen your own relationship with listening. It's a practice that has the potential to transform not only how we connect with others but also how we understand and connect with ourselves.

How would you love 'it' to be? The 'it' being your life.

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 10:00:00 +1000

I wrote this question down in my journal, played this song, closed my eyes, and let the answers find me.

The reason this question came up was due to writing the date, June 30th, at the top of my page and I thought, "wow, halfway through this year. How would I love the rest of it to be?" Then the question opened itself to the 'it' being 'life itself'.

Here's what came about ...

IMPACT - having major effect.
MEANINGFUL - worthwhile.
JOYFUL - great pleasure and happiness.
INTENTIONAL - done on purpose.

As I looked over my writings I thought, "shit yeah, that's how I'd love it to be! How great it would be to have major effect in the lives of my family, friends, loved ones and the world. To live a life that is worthwhile, create work in the world that is worthwhile. To do as such with great pleasure and happiness, and, on purpose.

This photo below sums the above up neatly. It was taken right after I finished recording my audiobook. This book has impact, meaning, was created on purpose, and written and recorded with great pleasure and happiness.

It begs the question, could all things be done this way? I'll come back to you on that.

Truly, how would you love it (your life) to be? And what would be your next best step to bring that way of life a little closer to you?

I'd love to read your insights and shares if you feel compelled to do so.

The lost self - no presence, no true essence

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +1000

Unhealed wounds from our past shape the personalities we present to the world, often causing us to make choices that align more with our trauma than with our true selves. These wounds can manifest as insecurities, fears, and defenses that influence how we interact with others and perceive our place in the world. When we don't address these wounds, we often wear masks that hide our authentic selves, leading us to make decisions based on the need for validation, acceptance, or protection rather than what truly resonates with our core values and desires.

I recently watched the series Dropout about Elizabeth Holmes, and it struck me how vividly it illustrated this point. Holmes, once a passionate innovator, gradually lost touch with her true essence. In her quest to become someone "important," she made choices that prioritized external success over internal integrity. This shift not only led to her downfall but also highlighted the dangers of losing sight of what is genuinely important.

When we make choices from our unhealed selves, we often end up pursuing paths that don't truly satisfy us or align with our deepest values. However, when we take the time to heal and reconnect with our true selves, our decisions become more authentic and fulfilling. Choices made from our true essence are guided by inner wisdom and genuine desires, leading us to a life that feels more aligned, purposeful, and meaningful. The contrast between living from our unhealed wounds and our authentic selves is profound, and the journey towards healing is not just beneficial but essential for living a truly fulfilling life.

The right kind of fucks to give

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 12:00:00 +1000

It's easy to give a lot of care to things that, in the grand scheme of things, don't really matter. Our egos often convince us to prioritize superficial concerns, social status, and external validation. However, our true essence knows better. It guides us to focus on what truly matters, to give the right kind of fucks. Living authentically means aligning with this deeper wisdom, caring deeply about the things that genuinely enrich our lives and reflect our true values. It's about finding the courage to let go of ego-driven worries and instead, nurture what is truly right, good, and meaningful for our authentic selves.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Holding Space

Mon, 27 May 2024 12:00:00 +1000

This morning, Steve held space for me in the midst of a raw emotional release.
I've been doing EMDR therapy for the past five weeks now, allowing and processing the raw emotions from childhood sexual abuse that I haven't felt in its purity. No bloody wonder why - IT'S. A. LOT.

As I journaled this morning, the emotion of anger was right there and I felt it in all its power and fucked-off-ness. Steve could sense that I wasn't quite myself and I let him know I was processing some stuff. He was about to go on his merry way and leave me to it when he got an intuitive sense to come upstairs and ask me if I needed a hug. My little Miss Independent didn't want to let him in, but instead, I chose to drop into his arms and let out the raw emotion.

Today's episode is about both our takes on this situation and how holding space for the other in relationships is so damn necessary.

A life that feels right, good and true for you

Mon, 20 May 2024 13:00:00 +1000

In my book I write about living a life that feels intrinsically right, good and true for us.

A life that we get to dance with and make up the dance moves and rhythm and pace as we go along.

A life that is so ours, so very much considered and intuited, a life that also considers the lives of others, all beings.

This is the life of someone who is in touch with their authentic nature and plugged into their core values, their heart, their truth. This is the life of someone who has chosen to step off the societal norm treadmill and dare ask, “hang on, is this even my life?”

I get it isn’t an easy question to ask because often we we ask the question, we’re bound to receive an answer from the well of truth that resides inside. At the same time, something in you is so relieved you’ve dared to ask because it, your true nature, can talk to you and guide you home to what you know deep down is right good and true for you.

Let us be willing, albeit scared, to dare ask if how we are living and how we are showing up is indeed true to who we are.

Your life, your pace, your rhythm

Mon, 13 May 2024 11:00:00 +1000

Living true to our own pace and rhythm is about honoring the unique cadence of our lives, rather than conforming to the timelines imposed by society. It's a reminder that our journey is deeply personal and cannot be rushed or dictated by external expectations.

When we tune into our inner rhythm, we reconnect with our true essence—the part of us that knows what feels right and authentic. This means allowing ourselves the space to move, grow, and evolve at a pace that feels natural and aligned with our deepest desires. By embracing our individual journey and trusting in our own timing, we empower ourselves to live authentically and wholeheartedly, free from the pressure to measure up to society's standards.

What sustains your spirit?

Mon, 06 May 2024 07:00:00 +1000

I had a magical moment this morning whilst sitting on the canal, listening to beautiful music and chatting with the forces at be.

For some time I have not been my most vital in energy and also in well-being. My guts are crook, pretty much always bloated, I've been experiencing brain fog, forgetfulness, losing the thread of thoughts and increasing fatigue. If I hadn't have known about per-menopause, which to be real I only heard of two years ago, I'd think I am quite literally losing my mind.

Anyway. When I am not right in my body, it is harder for me to connect to my Spirit and hear what it is wanting to share with me. After a session and being in the care of my dear friend and peri-menopause Queen, Dr Kirstey Holland, today I woke up for the first time in a long want feeling closer to and connected to my intrinsic nature.

So I took myself, my journal, airpods and chai latte for a stroll along the canal and sat on a bench. A moment with the forces at be and me. And boy did we have some seriously good chats.

In today's episode I share the insights that landed. Enjoy.

Kat & Steve - Relationships: Communicate or Detonate

Mon, 29 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +1000

If you find it difficult to communicate what's on your mind and/or heart in your relationship or the person you're dating, do you know why?

Do you know the story that keeps you from sharing, speaking, expressing?
Do you know the wound that the story was built upon?
Do you know the things you tell yourself that leads to 'ahhh, it doesn't matter, I won't bother saying anything, all good."

Steve has helped me have the hard chats. Typically (in my default pattern) I avoid hard chats. I haven't liked the awkwardness and the underlying fear is usually "this will lead to it ending". I've learned through our relationship that you can have hard chats and be clear and kind, and remain together. A new belief I'm happy to have!

In today's episode we talk about how we frame up difficult conversations and why it matters to keep having them.

Finish the sentence - "I am tired of ..."

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +1000

"I am tired of tolerating ......"
"I am tired of accepting ...... in my relationship."
"I am tired of speaking to myself poorly."
"I am tired of these behaviours I keep playing out ......"
"I am tired of the way I show up at work events and around colleagues."

Once you have your answers, the next question is ...

What am I willing to do about this? What is my next best step?

Self enquiry leads to greater knowing of who you are behind the you you think you have to be. It's worth asking the question.

Do it afraid

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +1000

If I waited until I wasn't afraid to go after the things that mattered to my heart and my life, I'd be waiting a long (long) time.

A part of me was afraid to leave nursing, make my own money and create my own life.
A part of me was afraid to start my business, speak on stage, create programs, run events, write a book and put myself out there.
A part of me was afraid to fall in love, commit and get married.

Because what if I failed? What if I got hurt? What if I looked like an idiot? What if I fell flat on my face and somewhere, someone would say, 'told ya so!'

The truth is, a part of us is going to be afraid when we do, say or go for something that is beyond what we're used to doing. Let the fear be there instead of fight it or will it out of your existence before you go for that something.

A practice of self honour and respect

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +1000

You know those uplevels where it’s happening from the inside out? A grumble, a pulse, a rise of ‘something’ that is so darn powerful that you know it’s going to rearrange the way you see yourself, others and life?

It’s that space between letting go of the self that got you here and welcoming in the self you’ve been rooting for. There’s excitement, fear, unsureness (is that even a word?), curiosity, grief, gratitude, silence, noise, questioning, faith all at once.

If you find yourself here, may you save your fucks for giving thanks to the self that carried you to this very place and set your own practice of acknowledgement until it feels right in you. May you welcome in the self that seeks to be embodied with an ease, grace and warmth.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Being Tested

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +1100

Steve and I are being tested at the moment. We're in sleep debt. We're sleeping in separate beds. Why? Lately, Steve's snoring has reached new heights and we've gotten into an anxious sleep cycle where Steve is worried he'll snore, so isn't getting deep sleep. I'm worried I'll hear him snore so I'm stressing about getting to sleep first.

This resulted in poor deep sleep and waking up feeling less than fresh. So, we're sleeping separate whilst Steve looks into his snoring and whilst we're catching up on sleep and beginning to be in sleep credit, the closeness of us is strained. Yes we cuddle when I come downstairs but it's different than falling asleep together and waking up snuggling.

And so, this is our reality and we're navigating with as much awareness as we can whilst being slightly off with one another. Not enough to be dire, but enough to feel it.

Today's episode is us sharing this in more depth and what we do when we're tested.

Sometimes it hurts to give a f*ck

Mon, 25 Mar 2024 07:00:00 +1100

Animals have my heart. Period. When their true nature and innocence are taken advantage of, disregarded and used for pleasure, entertainment, food convenience and money, my soul breaks. Something breaks inside me.

A pig at MIDLAND BACON PIGGERY in Victoria Australia has been sexually assaulted by a male, the farm owners son in fact. @dominionmovement are doing their best to free Olivia the pig, @changedotorg have a petition to sign to apply pressure to surrender her so she can be taken into the hands of kindness and care.

Factory farmed animals have little regard in the legal system and therefore protection because they are seen as food and money makers. I get that farmers hands are often tied by the bigger corporations but to have farmers (humans) use their power against an innocent and confined animal quite literally fucks with my face.

We as consumers actually have the power to question where what we eat comes from and the lives those animals have lived. And we should, because green washing is peaking off its head. At the end of our forks are lives that have been lived, or, have been abused.

As you ponder this, and I really urge you to, please sign the petition in my stories or in my linktree to save Olivia and email rickoreilly@bigpond.com.au, the owner of MIDLAND BACON PIGGERY to surrender Olivia.

She, Olivia the pig, like all of us, has a right to know what kindness, freedom and living looks and feels like.

Sign this petition to apply pressure to release Olivia.
Sign this petition to demand stricter laws against beastiality in Victoria.

No longer needing an 'out'

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +1100

Previously I always looked for the metaphorical invisible door for me to escape. Where’s the exit when it gets tough, hard, too much, too close, too vulnerable? That door was something I kept very close to me.

But in the lead up to our wedding, writing vows to Steve and the girls, that door was disappearing. And on the day, our magnificent wedding day, it went. I was in. All the way in.

I know that I can leave at anytime, but I don’t want to. Before, it was a fantasy I played into a lot. Now, it’s not even an option unless it really needs to be an option.

That’s what has changed. All of me is in. This is a big deal due to my past and always needing “aloneness” to be safe. Aloneness is one of my coping strategies that is laying to rest. Now, my fks can be saved for loving with all of me, not just some of me.

Cleaning is one of my coping strategies

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 07:00:00 +1100

There’s cleaning and then there’s CLEANING!

Everyone knows that I love a clean, tidy, aesthetically pleasing home. And the ones closest to me know when I’m cleaning because the house needs it, or when I clean because I need it.

Cleaning for me became a coping strategy when I was younger. There was a hidden memory jammed up inside me that was causing disturbance. I didn’t have conscious access yet to the memory but my body did. Waves of emotion would surge and the only way I knew to get rid of it in order to cope was to clean.

I rearranged my room, wardrobe, books, underwear, strip my sheets and all the rest to bring some kind of order back into the world. “Ahhhhh, now it’s right”, was the thought and feeling. But of course, it didn’t last long.

Now knowing this locked up memory, I used cleaning and still do at times to this day, as a way to gain control of reality. To make it right in my mind because my insides are having some sort of conniption. I try not to judge myself or tell myself I’m a failure at not fully healing this coping mechanism. The way I approach it now is by asking myself, “am I cleaning the house because the now needs to be cleaned, or am I cleaning the house because something in me feels out of control?”

This means I’m aware of what I’m doing, why I’m doing it and whilst I clean to gain control, I enquire, get curious and talk to the part of me inside that needs acknowledgement, love, care.

Always, a work in progress.

The Frustration of FFT's (first fucking time)

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 07:00:00 +1100

I have to give thanks to Brene Brown for giving me the terminology for FFTs - first fucking time. Those experiences or situations you're in where it's new territory, new landscape and you're in pits of "what the fuck do I do here?"

It could be your FFT on a date after getting divorced, starting a podcast, having sex with a woman after being in a heterosexual relationship, writing a book, becoming a parent - basically anything for the first-fucking-time.

The stories in your head are loud. Your body isn't at ease or familiar with what is going on. There is no muscle memory of how to do this because, you've never done it before. And so, the limiting beliefs come up. The annoyances, frustrations, irritability and TO HELL WITH THIS rises.

Well, if you're there, then listen here, for how to manage yourself in an FFT.

Three Good Minutes

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 07:00:00 +1100

When I was at my lowest, even doing something for three minutes felt almost impossible. Almost. But even at my worst, I could do something good for three minutes. Three minutes of anything that could get me out of my most negative thoughts, that could break my stuckness. To this day, whenever I’m feeling out of sorts and disconnected with my true self, I take a moment. I consciously redirect my attention to doing something that I know can help me regroup. All it takes is three good minutes.

Three good minutes of standing with your feet on the grass, eyes closed, hands on your heart.

Three good minutes of listening to a song that takes you straight ‘home’, standing, swaying, feeling.

Three good minutes of sitting on a park bench, watching the world go by, listening to the birds, the trees, life.

Three good minutes of finding the suns light in your home, standing in it and letting it drench your face.

Three good minutes of your feet in a body of water – the ocean, a creek, a puddle.

Not every one of these needs to be done everyday, it’s more a matter of choosing three good minutes in your day to do something that brings you home. That gives you that feeling of, Ahh, there I am. Three good minutes where you find yourself, say hi to yourself and feel good that you’re still there. Because three good minutes a day is better than no minutes a day. It’s better than nothing, isn’t it? It may seem small and insignificant, but in practice, it’s the small and insignificant done consistently that makes the big, significant shifts.

Kat & Steve - We got married!

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 07:00:00 +1100

Our wedding was 100% us. There was nothing about it that catered to who we thought we had to be, what vows we thought we had to write, who we thought we had to invite, what food and drinks we thought we should get, what we thought we had to wear, what photos we thought we should get and all the rest. Everything about it was us, which is why it was so damn magical.

The brief was - we want this to be an extension of us. Fun, casual, relaxed and epic vibes. And the day delivered it in spades. The amount of times we heard, "this wedding is so you guys", "your wedding is so real and authentic from the ceremony, vows, speeches, the lot", "this day is how all weddings ought to be", was endless. And we felt it too.

Today we share about our day, our highlights, why it was a blessing to wait to get married now instead of 2020 and how important it is to stay true to your real and genuine self when it comes to big days like these.

I’ve done my best to keep this under wraps since April 2022 and now I can let the Penguin out of the bag! It’s with a big beating heart that I can now share openly that I’m writing my first book with @penguinbooksaus 🐧.

Why She Left Love Off Her Intention Setting

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +1100

This is a ripper story. My beautiful client and now friend, KG, left love off her intention setting because she thought it'd never happen. She didn't want to feel the pain of it never coming true if she had it on her vision board, so, she left it off to not feel or address the wounds that were sitting underneath it all.

When I said to her, "is love and a relationship important to you?", she said, "Kat fucking John, GO AWAY!" And so, we went to work on what stories were in her head, what situations took place when she was younger and what she made that mean about her and love.

You'll love this epic episode with a very happy ending. But kudos to KG, she put in the hard yards and the "why the fuck am I doing this' work to call in real love.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Back to Basics

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 07:00:00 +1100

In this month's episode of us sharing insights into our relationship, we reflect and share how not-so-good we have been in the past six weeks, how at times we've been hanging on by a thread questioning our relationship, using some tools to 'get us by' and avoiding the real hard chats we needed to have.

Yeah, relationships are real, aren't they?

When two people are truly in love yet stuck in ego-town, it's vital to know the work and do the work to not give up on the work and reconnect to the end result of their relationship. We also share our personal experiences and vulnerabilities, making it uber clear that we are human and shit the bed at times when it comes to our relationship. The tools and back to basics is where it's at.

There Is A Future You ... Waiting

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 07:00:00 +1100

Imagine that somewhere in your future there is a you who is grounded in who they are, knows who they are, connected to their intuition and true self, and who is so goddamn real and genuine that they ooze that special something.

Imagine how free and liberated that version of you must be to feel that way and how ace they are at navigating their own mind, ego trip wires and patterned responses. How cool must it be for them that they get to choose how they want to be rather than be who they think they have to be?

Imagine if you never met them. Imagine if you never game them the chance to go out into the world and play, meet people, call in opportunities and dance with life from that place. That would be soul crushing.

In today's episode I get real about the true impact of behaviours such as people-pleasing and overgiving, shedding light on the fine line between kindness from a place of self-respect and seeking external validation. We'll go into the personas we often wear and the tricky dance with our ego, any why authenticity is so damn important.

Tune in as I share insights on doing the inner work necessary for your future self to have a chance of being alive in your life! This episode is your invitation to embrace your authentic self and discover the inner freedom that comes with it.

Starting the year clear with intention

Mon, 15 Jan 2024 06:00:00 +1100

Alrighty, first episode back for 2024! Let's go!
In this episode, I share what my theme for this year is and how I landed at it. From what it started out to be (receive), shifted to (abundance) and where it landed (plentiful), I also share what next best steps I am taking. You know, the little itty bitty ones that you think don't matter, but they really (really) do, and the importance of being devoted to the itty-bitty-steps and being unwavering in that devotion.

Listen up for a cracking start to the year and if you want to go deep into it, put a journal pen by your side, sign up for the 90 minute session because it's solid. Everyone who has done it have been gobsmacked and in tears and have found it really beneficial for setting up their year. So highly encourage it if you feel called to do so.

The big one to sign up for is the ZEROFKS program. I'll have a number of enrolments throughout the year. But holy shit, there is a section in module two. I can't give it away, but fuck, I wish I could. I just want to show you already. I just want to show it to you and be like, there it is. There it is, go and do it.

Oh, I was uploading the content and I was crying. It's something, it's really something special, powerful, potent. For those of you who are truly wanting to give less fucks this year to areas that don't serve you, to liberate yourself, if you want to feel lighter, more free, more clear, more grounded, unwavered, confident, all of those fucking sick ass words, then yeah, I really do hope that you join me for this. It's a six month coaching container. So when you sign up, you've got six months with me, we've got six live monthly calls together, and within that six month period, there are three major modules for you to work through. And each of those modules are so beautifully paced.

How My Theme For The Year Cracked Me Open

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 06:00:00 +1100

The word and theme I worked and danced with this year was, "natures way", placing greater trust and faith in the great force and allowing it to crack me open where necessary.

In previous years I had hopes for the word and theme I set, often having in mind what I wanted it to do for me. But what I found was that it worked its way into other areas of my life that I'd left unattended and didn't give much attention to. So this year, I said, "you do what you gotta do and what is necessary for me to open my eyes and heart".

Today's episode shares those crackings, openings and widenings whilst sharing a few unexpected tears and breakthroughs mid episode.

Basic Bitch-ing

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 07:00:00 +1100

One of the greatest tools in my Mary Poppins bag is to be a basic bitch. Meaning, when all the tools in my toolkit aren't hitting the mark and I'm in the midst of an inner shift, I turn to this. No journalling, no meditation, no positive affirmation-ing. Yes, I still take care of my well-being by going for walks, doing some yin yoga or even a dance class, but that's it.

I take the pressure off to "develop my way through this" and remain "spiritual" and instead, do the most simple, basic things in life that help me to feel good amidst a shift-storm.

Have a listen to today's episode if you are in need of basic bitching and dropping the waving of the high achiever flag.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Conscious Communication

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 07:00:00 +1100

We've been in the practice of a tool called the three gates. First shared by Rumi, he said, "At the first gate, ask yourself, “Is it true?” At the second gate ask, “Is it necessary?” At the third gate ask, “Is it kind?” If our words pass through these gates, we can be assured that we are aligned with our Highest Self."

Can I tell you, this practice is a tough one. Often we can get past the first gate, but the second and third is where Steve and I are stopped in our ego tracks and called towards greater self reflection. Sometimes our auto-pilot speech gets the better of us, but immediately we remember and remind one another of the gates. Other times, we are conscious and take what we wanted to say to each gate and either remain silent, or we look to rephrase or reword what we wanted to say.

It's giving us even greater possibility to be and speak from our authentic selves as opposed to ego chatter.

This tool is so damn good for your relationship with self, your intimate partner and children. Even when you're around friends and there's gossiping taking place, the three gates can be applied.

A Tool To Use When Your Tools Just Aren't Cutting It

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 07:00:00 +1100

When all the meditating, yoga-ing, journaling, exercising, walking and everything else you have in your toolkit just isn't cutting it, here's one of my go-to's.

Sometimes, I just don't have the energy or gusto to "do the work" and basic-bitching is where it's at. Eat, move body, do what's needed, sleep, repeat. Plus, I say this little prayer in the mornings to the forces at be.

There are moments where you gotta let go and know that letting go is in fact part of "the work".

Self Enquiry - What have you been putting off?

What have you been putting off? The thing that you know is kinda there, but your ego is doing a gnarly job of hiding it from you saying, "it's all good, don't worry about this, keep doing what you're doing!" You know, that thing.

The Work Never Stops

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 06:00:00 +1100

One thing I wang onto my clients about is that the work does not stop and that I, nor anyone else, has THE solution for you. Each coach, healer, psychologist, trainer or whoever, has something to offer (hopefully of real value) and extend to you, to help you navigate life and see yourself, others and life in new ways. And this doesn't stop.

Instead of being all, "dammit, why do I still need help?", or, "what, I thought I dealt with this shit!", think of these people as adding to your Mary Poppins bag of tools to assist you with zooming out of your ego, to be aware of what's going on, to tap into yourself and access the answers from within.

Right now, I'm working with a Coach, a Kinesiologist, a Functional Neuro Kinesiologist and Chinese Medicine Doctor. All of these people are helping me with certain aspects of my life that are weighing me down and taking me away from my authentic essence. Each of them are offering me their gifts, I take what I need and add the learnings, lessons and tools to my Mary Poppins bag.

The work never stops. Nor should it.

Emptying Out To Fill With Purpose

The moment I turned 38, a very heavy load I was carrying (without knowing just how heavy the load was) dropped. Not an ounce in me wanted to pick the load back up and convince myself that we "need this load to keep us safe, loved, protected, accepted!"

A very clear image of my 40-year-old-self has presented and hot-diggity-damn, she is next level She! No wonder my now self is dropping shit like it's hot, because where I'm walking, where I'm headed, there is not an inch of space for this heavy load carrying.

And so, I empty myself out to, in time, filler up buttercup with purpose. What a time! And so the work, the healing, the breathing, the burger with the lot, continues.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Playfulness

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 06:00:00 +1100

Steve and I talk about about something we all crave in our relationships whether we're aware of it or now - playfulness and fun. Life can get pretty hectic with responsibilities, work, parenting or whatever it may be, and it's easy to lose that spark. But here's the thing, playfulness is the key to keeping the connection alive.

In today's episode we share our own experiences and give you some real talk on how we keep the fun flowing in our relationship. Plus, we'll chat about the importance of embracing our own inner child and how important that relationship is in order to bring joy, laughter, and adventure into your love life.

Whether you're in a long-term relationship, just starting one, or even flying solo, this episode is for you. It's all about bringing more fun and playfulness into your love journey.

When You're Done With The Stories In Your Head

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 06:00:00 +1100

Today's podcast episode hits close to home, my friends. I'm sharing something I think we've all grappled with at some point – those pesky stories in our heads that try to dictate how we interact with the world. You know, the narratives that creep in and tell us to keep people and our dreams at arm's length, all in the name of avoiding rejection. Well, I'm here to tell you that I'm absolutely fed up with these stories, and I'm ready to ditch them for good. It's about time we reclaim our power, drop the protective shields, and dive headfirst into the messiness of life. I'm excited to dig deep on this topic and explore how we can break free from these self-imposed limitations. Let's get real and raw, my friends, and let's do this together!

When You're Getting "The Call" Towards A Greater Purpose

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 06:00:00 +1100

Nine years ago, my brother said to me to ask myself this question when I got a "the call", that internal nudge, regarding living into a greater purpose - "what problem are you solving in the world?"

Of course, I got all heady about it and tried to come up with what I thought I wanted to solve. Plus, imposter-syndrome kicked in right on cue saying things like, "um, who are you to think you can help the world solve a problem?"

To help myself answer this question, I asked, "what problem(s) have I solved within myself?" Aaah, now I could get somewhere. This helped me feel more confident as there were areas of my life that I had certainly worked on and through, where I was so called, 'on the other side', of the fence due to the time, energy and effort I put into that area to evolve.

By doing this, the gigantic weight of "what is my purpose" eased and I had a clue, a piece of the puzzle that showed what problem I just might end up solving.

The Most Overlooked Spiritual Practice

Mon, 02 Oct 2023 06:00:00 +1100

Back in the day, all I did was THE practice that I thought would "make me more spiritual." I thought that by doing the 'thing' that it would mean I am more spiritual, when in fact, there is no such thing as being 'more spiritual'.

If I heard someone had been in Kathmandu meditating, I'd think, "well there more spiritual than me!" When I watched Eat Pray Love, I thought, "that's what I need to do to be more spiritual!" The shit I spun to myself I can laugh about now, but it really did send me into a tailspin and I was overlooking the single most important practice that reminded me that as I am, I already am Spirit.

Sharing this episode in the hope that it serves you on your path and that it resonates.

Kat & Steve: Relationships & Independence

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 06:00:00 +1000

Steve and I firmly believe that what contributes to our relationship being solid and built on deep trust, is that we are not dependent on one another. We have our own unique interests and aren't keen on dragging the other person along. I love going to dance classes, Steve loves riding his motorbike for example. We are two independent individuals who love being together, doing our thing together and also, doing what we love individually, apart.

I love watching the sun set and sitting there for a while longer. When I've asked Steve to come, he's usually fidgety and ready to leave as soon as the sun sets. I could (and have) judged him, make him 'wrong for me' because of it and try and make him be present to enjoy the moment more. Or, I could realise that this is my thing, go with my two doggies, sit there and enjoy it for myself.

He loves building giant size lego. He could ask me to sit there and join him or keep him company whilst he builds. Or, he could realise that lego is his thing and get lost in his world of building and enjoy it for himself. These are small examples, I know, but the niggles and the 'making the other' do something that is your own joy often starts small and grows.

We have our common loves like hiking, going on new adventures, seeing new parts of the world and dancing at parties or weddings. We treasure our joined loves and leave the rest to our own individual selves to enjoy.

I Needed A Break From Being "In Control"

Mon, 18 Sep 2023 06:00:00 +1000

After five days at Gwinganna Retreat, I found my joyful, playful, light-hearted Kat again. Prior to going, I was in 'just get it done' mode, serious mode, no time for joy mode.

I have created an enriched life by choice that has space and time to 'do my life', yet I couldn't see it. My lens on life was task orientated, tick it off, next!

The last five days gave me space from control Kat and I could see more clearly why she was out and what I needed to give her to ease back into softness, ease and playfulness. My inner child doesn't cope well with change and her first thing to make change okay is to control the environment. I remembered that as adult Kat, it's my responsibility to nurture little Kat during those times, hold her close and let her know that I've got it, and her.

This is now my practice.

What It Really Means to "Enjoy The Journey"

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 06:00:00 +1000

I was asked a question recently, and it was, "when you go for your goals, what do you hope to achieve?" Immediately I replied, "to actually the enjoy the journey along the way."

Yes, that sounds wanky and cliche, but it's true. I read the quotes and cognitively 'got' that it's about the journey and not only the destination, but when I put this into for real practice, a greater respect came about for the blood, sweat and tears (and lol's) that take place along the road to whatever is you're going for. That in the blood, the sweat, the tears, the lol's, the digging deep and widening of capacity, that is where the real juice is.

Today's episode shares about this. Hope you find it relatable.

Being "With" Reality

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 06:00:00 +1000

I’m currently in the practice of bringing myself back to reality, as in, what’s happening right in front of me and around me. Not what I think is in front of me or what I think is happening around me, but what is right there.

This is to help me get out of the stories running through my head and the meanings I’m about to make reality mean, which has the potential to hate on my reality, when I may in fact not need to.

It's to help me manage my output, my energy and how I can either choose to infect the room with my mood, or, choose to contribute to the 'all-goodness' that is taking place in the room.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Seven Game Changing Words

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 06:00:00 +1000

It's been a big month for us. Our richness of time has shifted to strained time, due to high workload and changes in family dynamics. This has challenged our relationship as the space we previously had changed overnight and we've been adapting to our new reality as best we can.

The other day, Steve and I were running hot, and we were doing our best to not unleash our inner assholes and take our frustrations out on one another. One harsh word or tone of voice would have sent us over the edge - the tension was building up. When I was in the shower Steve said seven words that allowed for a shift to take place. He asked, "is there something we need to clear?"

Shit yeah there was, but uninterrupted time was capped. I sent him a message a while later, sharing, clearing, venting. Underneath all of that was that I missed him. So we took luscious time for ourselves and went for a hike, just us, reconnected, created a plan we both felt aligned to and sat amongst the rocks and trees. And so on we go with a new reality with strength, alignment and connected.

How Can You Rest If You Have Guilt About Resting?

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 10:00:00 +1000

The other morning, I was eating my breakfast and watching Seinfeld. That's not my usual thing to do, but I was sick and wanted to sit snuggled up in my grey trackies, nom-nom-noming on my cereal with Bailey and Daisy sitting next to me. Ah, heaven.

Except the thoughts in my head weren't a fan of this. The doer in me, the achiever, the come on, get it done in me did a great job at attempting to make me feel like a lazy loser. Cool, thanks for interrupting my joyful moment!

Today's episode goes into the very funny but also mean-girl dialogue in my head, how I handled it and offers a few suggestions for you if you find it difficult to rest at times. Enjoy!

Trusting the Current 'Flow'

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 06:00:00 +1000

It seems my body ain't done with taking it slow, but I tell you, my ego is DONE with it.

After a week of rest and honouring my body, I was like, "yes, let's do this world!" And then bam, I got my step-daughter's cold (thanks Ally-bum). All the shit I didn't do the week before I was eager to sink my teeth into, plus get back to Life Hub and lift them weights. But alas, my body said, 'rest human, rest some more.'

The current of flow that presented itself to me was slow, quiet, conserve energy kind of flow. The current of flow I wanted was let's go, let's lift, let's pick up the pace. In the past, I'd have pushed through and forced the flow I wanted. Now, I know better to respect what's needed.

Today's episode shares light on my new found perspective on 'going with the flow'.

Holding Yourself Tenderly

Mon, 07 Aug 2023 06:00:00 +1000

It's been one week since the life awakening moment with the man on the beach. A week of managing my body and mind's response. I've been doing some reading about the normal and natural responses after delivering CPR and it's been a nice reminder that how I've been feeling is indeed, normal.

I've been doing nothing, so the doing can be done. Rest has been my best friend. Sleep has been my companion. Laying in the sun has been my healer. Talking to trusted friends and peers has been my warm blanket. Space, quiet and time has been my medicine.

To be able to honour the body by listening to it and tending to it, and not give power to the thoughts that say, "get up you lazy woman, get on with it, you're weak", has been the greatest gift of all. There is so much magic in the simplest remedies.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Really Being There

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +1000

**This episode speaks of an incident that includes the medical intervention of CPR. Please be mindful when listening and check-in with yourself if you feel okay to listen / read on.

I've spoken many times about being a believer of the right time, right place, right person and having deep respect and trust for this way of life. Last week, all the right things led to being in the right place at the right time to help save a man's life.

After a poor sleep the night before, I cancelled the gym and chose to listen to my body and rest. Steve woke up and was about to take the dogs for a walk and I said, "give me 15 minutes of shut eye and I'll come!" When we walked out the door, Steve suggested to walk the canal due to being time poor and I said, "nah, let's do the beach, we'll make it home in time."

All those little happenings that we were open to allowed for us to be on the beach. As we walked back home, Steve noticed a man on the path, surrounded by incredible humans who were doing all they could to save his life. I ran over to see what was going on and as an ex nurse, could see quickly that this could go either way really quickly. I relieved the woman who was giving CPR, all of us saying to him, "come on mate, come on buddy, stay with us, stay with us." Then, he took a breath.

Since recording the episode, I have spoken to his wife on the phone, a moment I'll never forget. He is alive, well, walking and hopefully heading home soon. My respect and trust in listening to our inner voice that leads us to the right time, right place, right person has only deepened more. Still processing this one.

With regards to this episode and relationships, I couldn't thank Steve more if I tried for holding space for immediately after this experience and in the days following.

Trusting In The Work You’ve Done On Yourself

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +1000

There comes a time where the solo work we do to unravel, peel and strip back our lives, patterns and thinking comes to a natural end. A time where we are called to come out of our sacred cocoon and ‘play’ with life and others with our new found perspective and next layer of authentic self intact.

Your ego can resist this, pushing life and others away which stems from a lack of trust in who you are. It’ll sell you stories that you might “lose yourself again” and keep up an invisible wall, blocking out love, opportunities and the chance to test your new found self in the world.

After years of pleasing everyone but myself, I journeyed hard into coming back to myself. I too feared letting people in because, “what if I stop meditating? What if I stop working out? What if I lose connection to spirit?” This way of thinking kept me isolated way longer than necessary and it all came down to not trusting that I had myself.

This resistance is a normal response, one to acknowledge, sit with and respect. But also one to not let fool you into not believing that you can indeed have love with another AND honour yourself.

The Egos Lines of Defence

Mon, 17 Jul 2023 06:00:00 +1000

I was speaking to a client the other day in a one-to-one session. She shared with me her writings from a meditation that had her access her heart and what she longs for. Immediately she said, "but who am I to have this? Who do I think I am?"

That's when I spoke to her about the egos lines of defence and it's multilayered approach in preventing you from receiving and experiencing what deeply matters. I asked her what her first line of defence was. She replied, "my ego cares what others think." I said, "let's say you broke through that limiting belief, what's the second line of defence waiting to block you?" She very quickly told me the stories and beliefs that came up immediately and we continued to do this until there were no further obvious lines of defence.

This is a great way to see the intricate ways your ego armours up and defends itself, the way things are and what it deems safe or unsafe. Listen to the full episode for further insights and how to get clear on your own lines of defence.

The Stories We Play Out In Our Head When Waiting For A Reply

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 07:00:00 +1000

That space between sending a text or email and waiting for the response for something we deem, or is, important, whether it be a job application, making the first move on bumble or asking someone out on a date, can send us bat shit na-nas.

"OMG, they haven't written back, I shouldn't have sent it!"

The ego's response when we find ourselves waiting anxiously for a response can lead to us questioning ourselves, doubt our worth, and experience heightened insecurities during these moments (hello old wounds resurfacing).

Our human instinct is to seek resolution and regain a sense of comfort, or possibly control, when faced with uncertainty. We apply coping mechanisms to manage the discomfort, from refreshing our inbox obsessively, re-reading our text or email to dissect every word and its meaning, to crafting alternative scenarios in our minds.

Today's episode is a reminder that it is okay to wig out. Even if you'd done all the work in the world and wig out, it's okay. We want to do our best to slow this automated response down by asking ourselves some important questions.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & The Ongoing Work

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 09:00:00 +1000

I held a pretty firm belief that once I found 'true love', it'd be smooth sailing and easy breezy. That when you meet, 'the one', you'll both just get each other and problems won't exist because you're 'so aligned'. What a reality check I was in for!

If anything, there was more work to put in as there were now two humans with their own ego's, views of the world, belief systems, values and all the rest coming together to cohabit, plus the added layer of children and step children.

Today's episode with Steve shares the realness of relationships and what's really involved when coming together AND staying together.

Each episode will provide valuable insights and practical guidance to help you align with a meaningful practice that honours your deepest aspirations. Together we'll dig deep, tune-in and take intentional action as we honour what's important, and stay curious as to why we might sabotage.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Calling In Your Ideal Partner

Mon, 29 May 2023 06:00:00 +1000

Before we met, we had a pretty gnarly list of who we wanted to attract into our lives. Both our lists were specific in what the person looked like, what they had, how old they'd be and more. What both our lists didn't have was the essence of the person we wanted to be with and what the energy of our relationship felt like.

Steve and I were friends and sought one another for dating advice. We couldn't even see that the person our hearts were seeking was right in front of us because we were list focused at that time.

In today's episode we share what was on our lists, who we attracted in as a result and the wound that kept creating those lists to keep our hearts safe. We also speak about how we both shifted from our heads and into our hearts, and how that led to us being together.

Beneath The CBF Vibes

Mon, 22 May 2023 06:00:00 +1000

Prior to most work engagements, I have self talk that says, "I can't be bothered." It's a lazy, meh kinda energy I'm carrying around and I watch and observe it.

What I've realised and accepted over the last nine years of business is that no matter how on path I am or how epic an opportunity may be, there's a part of me (the ego) that resists the work. But why?

In today's episode I share what's beneath my CBF vibes prior to events, speaking engagements, coaching, recording podcasts, THE LOT! and how I manage it. There's an underlying narrative that is running, looking to convince me that this is not my path, "because if it was your path Kat, you'd be stoked all the time!"

Don't let it fool you out of doing what you love at the level of your heart.

Playing The Long Game

Mon, 15 May 2023 06:00:00 +1000

When I started my business I wanted to succeed really quickly. This was driven by the fear of and looking like a failure. I wanted overnight wealth, overnight engaged community and overnight full books. I guess that's kinda normal to want these things but when I was informed by trusted people and professionals that ...

it'll take three years to build your brand and to build a solid, engaged community
it's not a business if it can't support your life; it's a hobby
it'll take ten years to be highly regarding in your field

... I wanted to give up. Ugh, who the hell wants to wait this long for this?

Recently, my online community grew from 32K to 529K in a matter of four months. I wasn't doing anything new and applied no new strategy. I'd been plugging away for nine years, sharing my message, tweaking it, doing the inner work and showing up a little more each time as my authentic nature.

Today's episode shares how grateful I am for past Kat who played the long game, delayed gratification, put her head down and bum up and stayed with what felt good, right and true. Because now, I am reaping the hard work she (past Kat) put in, even when she wondered if what she was doing was a waste of time.

Following Through On The One-Percenters

Mon, 08 May 2023 06:00:00 +1000

I'm at that stage in my life where leaving the vacuum cleaner out after I make the house all shmick, isn't cutting it.

I'm at that stage in my life where folding the washing and leaving it downstairs, when it belong upstairs and I'm going upstairs but refuse to take it with me, isn't cutting it.

I'm at that stage in my life where leaving my clean underwear in the laundry, even though I need it every morning yet still don't bring it back into my bedroom, isn't cutting it.

People, the one-percenters are ready to be addressed and I'm kinda liking how I feel when I follow through. It's actually quite amazing! Today's episode will offer much laughter and relatability as I share the many one-percenters I am in the practice of following through on. Keen to hear how this lands for you.

Life Isn't Always "Good", And That's Okay

Mon, 01 May 2023 06:00:00 +1000

I've been pulling out the phrase, "this too shall pass", more and more recently, but different reasons.

Typically I'd use this phrase when times are tough and less that ideal. Instead, I've been using this amidst an awesome moment that's full of connection, joy or celebration. And it's not because I'm being a Debbie Downer.

It's been a habit of mine to live for the epic-ness and feel bummed when life returns back to "normal". I noticed myself being annoyed at the mundane-ness after something amazing took place either personally or professionally and felt the need to balance this out. I could see myself judging life, people or situations, looking for why it or they were not as good as yesterday.

We often use the term, "this too shall pass", for tough times, but often when times are good, we cling onto the good feelings and feel underwhelmed when life returns to normal. I have been reminding myself that even the good times pass and it's to remind me that the beige-ness of life is okay.

I hope you enjoy today's share.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Insecurity

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 06:00:00 +1000

If you've had those pangs of jealousy in your relationship that results in you being controlling, withholding of your love and distrustful, please, listen to today's episode.

If you are in a relationship where your partner is insecure and acts out in controlling, withholding and distrustful ways, listen too.

If you are single and are thinking, "shit, I think this was me in my last relationship", listen.

Steve and I share two examples from our relationship where our security in self, the other and the relationship were challenged. We share how we handled those situations powerfully and with integrity, even though our ego's wanted to control the other in order to feel safe.

We believe this share is important as many relationships end prematurely when one (or both) people are insecure in themself, therefore acting out and punishing the other. We hope you find this episode helpful for you and your relationship.

Step-parenting & Finding My Place

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 06:00:00 +1000

In today's episode, I share that after 6 years of navigating the complexities of blended families, I feel I have found my place and grown to be truly grateful for my step-daughters. Through this experience, I have discovered new depths to my heart that I never knew existed until I met these two beautiful girls.

As I watch them shift from little girls to teenagers, I see them becoming their own humans in the world. I enjoy hanging out with them, chit-chatting and really feel that we can be ourselves with one another.

It's a tough road blended families and I'm sure glad I didn't give up or give into the stories in my head, because deep down in my heart, I've always known that they are my people.

Expect This When You Go After What You Desire

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 06:00:00 +1000

As you embark on the journey of pursuing your dreams and desires, it's important to remember that it's completely normal to self sabotage and cock-block yourself. In fact, it's often in the pursuit of our goals that we are forced to confront our deepest wounds, limiting stories, and ego-driven beliefs. This can be uncomfortable and even painful at times, but it's an essential part of the process.

It's important to recognise that this is not a sign of failure, but rather an indication that you are growing and expanding beyond your current limitations. So, be kind and compassionate with yourself as you navigate old wounds and beliefs. Remember that you are not alone, and that this is a natural part of the journey towards fulfilling your next layer of potential.

Finally, I'm Allowing Myself To Experience Pleasure

Mon, 03 Apr 2023 06:00:00 +1000

For the last three years of our relationship, I have been sexually inhibited and it's been an area of mine and Steve's relationship that has been strained. As I ventured in and sought professional guidance to help me, a new layer of healing and liberation unlocked. And with that, layers of pain released.

In past relations, I gave my body but not my heart. With Steve, I gave my heart and withheld my body. Why? To feel a sense of control and safety. But, it started to take a toll on us, so it was time to look deeper.

For the first time in 37 years, I feel sexually liberated, safe in my body AND with Steve, allowing myself to actually experience pleasure without the shame story shutting down my body. To finally be present in this area of my life without making it mean something is truly something I am celebrating.

Today's episode shares the lessons I've learned, the healing that's taken place and the journey over the past three months that has been hard, but worth it.

**Please note, today's episode makes mention of sexual abuse. If right now listening to this episode may be triggering, skip it or come back to it when the time feels right.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Setting Agreed Intentions

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 06:00:00 +1100

Steve and I made an agreement at the start of our relationship. An agreement that we both contributed to in order to help us stay connected and move out of shitty states when in disagreement.

We agreed that when one of us is acting up, talking with a sharp tone, being care-less with out words or cold shouldering, that the other would remind us of our true intentions and what mattered more than the need to be right or in control.

As time has gone on in our relationship it's helped us shift out of holding grudges and death staring the other far more rapidly, because we both know the true feeling and intention that we predominantly want to be in.

Today's episode shares a simple tool we used that has proved to serve us time and time again.

Life Is Not Just About The Before And Afters

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 06:00:00 +1100

Sharing the mess of life can be challenging and vulnerable, especially when we tend to celebrate the "before and afters". It's also incredibly brave and empowering. Social media and other forms of communication often present an idealised version of life, showcasing only the highlights and filtering out the messiness and struggles that are an inevitable part of the human experience.

But when we have the courage to share the real and messy parts of our lives, we create space for authenticity, connection, and empathy. We show others that it's okay to struggle, to make mistakes, and to have imperfections. We give permission to others to be their authentic selves and to let go of the pressure to be perfect all the time.

Sharing our vulnerabilities can be scary, but it can also be transformative. When we open up and share our struggles, we allow others to offer support and love, and we often find that we're not alone in our experiences. We can create deep connections with others and build relationships based on authenticity and empathy.

So, while it can be challenging to share the mess of life, it's also incredibly brave and powerful. It's a way of showing up fully in the world and embracing all that life has to offer, both the highs and the lows.

Consider This On Your Personal Development Journey

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 06:00:00 +1100

It's crucial to understand that personal growth and development is a continuous journey, and it's normal not to have all the answers and breakthroughs at once.

We need space to process, to reflect, to integrate. We need to be patient with ourselves and our progress. Remember, the journey towards personal development is a process that requires time and effort, and there are bound to be twists, turns and setbacks along the way. Rushing to find quick solutions or trying to have all the answers at once can lead to frustration and burnout.

Instead, focus on taking small, consistent steps towards where you want to go and trust that the breakthroughs will come in due time. In the end, the most important thing is to keep moving forward with patience, perseverance, and an open mind.

The True Meaning Behind Giving ZEROFKS

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 06:00:00 +1100

In my world, giving ZEROFKS isn't about sticking the bird up to the world with fake, cocky confidence. To me, that is egoic protection and contributes to separation and carelessness between humans.

Giving ZEROFKS is about noticing and observing what thoughts, stories and beliefs are limiting you from expressing yourself, going after something you want or sharing with someone what's on your heart. What it's actually about is giving zero, or less, care, importance and airtime to what holds you back, so you can actually go after what matters. But first, you gotta look into the thought, belief and story, neutralise its power and then choose where you'd like to place your fks.

In today's episode I share why giving ZEROFKS in this way is vital to our mental well-being and how it keeps us accountable for how we're living our lives.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Feeling Heard

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 06:00:00 +1100

Ooh we had a doozy of a disagreement a few days ago. I wanted to have a moment of whinging and complaining about aspects of my business to Steve without any kind of solution or answer. Steve on the other hand, wanted to provide a solution and answer to help me overcome my pity party. Well, that went down like a sack of potatoes hard and fast!

In today's episode we go into why I cracked it, why Steve cracked it and what very simple tool we forgot to implement that led us to crack it at one another. We also go into how we moved out of this swiftly and powerful so we could refocus on loving one another and enjoying time together.

We hope you enjoy this episode.

Next Best Step (VS) Next Perfect Step

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 06:00:00 +1100

There's a difference between the next best step and the next perfect step.

A next best step is something we take that is in alignment with our core values and truth in that particular moment or phase of our lives. For example, you may be overworked, undervalued and treated poorly at work. Your next best step may be to take a leave of absence for some time, regroup, find your core essence again and rebuild your inner resources. This next best step will serve its purpose for a period of time. When you are full again, a new next best step will be ready to be taken.

A next perfect step has a different energy about it. It's often created by the ego which will want to know if the next step is perfect, if it's right or wrong, good or bad and if it will lead to something worth taking the risk. This can leave us in indecision, doubt and heavy in the mind as the need to know that it's a good step is stronger than doing what is best for us in that moment.

Today's episode goes into this concept in more detail as I share with you where I'm at in relation to this very topic and how I'm navigating it. I hope you enjoy the episode and get some goodness from it.

Love Kat x

What To Do When You Lose “It”

Mon, 13 Feb 2023 06:00:00 +1100

What is "it"? "It" can be your sense of self, connection to the Universe or faith, belief in your dreams, depth in your relationship or self respect. "It" is something that deeply matters to you and for whatever reason, you've lost connection to it.

That loss of connection in some way, shape or form has and might still be, contributing to you feeling out of alignment, incongruent and out of touch with your inner being. It's okay, this happens, this is normal and sure, it's upsetting. But there is always a route back to reconnect to "it".

Why do we lose connection to what matters? Why would we forgo something that's important for something that isn't? How do we claim "it" back and how long will it take? All of this and more in today's episode.

When Your Values Challenge You

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 06:00:00 +1100

Personal responsibility is one of my core values. It has been for some time and I'm pretty sure it will be for life. I think that because for the first two decades, this value was not my jam. I took little to no responsibility for life and played the victim card often.

I feel as though this value empowers and propels me to take action towards the things that matter to my heart which helps me feel aligned, authentic and congruent. Recently, personal responsibility was put to test when a company failed to recycle soft plastics. For the last 3.5 years my family have been diligent in putting soft plastics in the one of four bins we have, so when the company informed the public that they had not been recycling and now the plastics will go to landfill, my heart sank. Not to mention, I went into blame mode and, "ah, well there's nothing I can do, right?"

Turns out, there was something I could do. Listen to today's episode where I share how my core value was put to test and propelled me to be empowered and take action.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Money

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 06:00:00 +1100

At the end of each month, Steve and I are coming together on the podcast to share real, raw and relatable when it comes to our relationship. We sat down and agreed that we want to share with you how we powerfully manage difficult conversations and situations in our relationship, so we can be more in our hearts and focus on bigger matters (like loving one another).

In today's episode we speak about how we approached money in our relationship. Steve earns more money than me, I'm financially independent, we're in a blended family and have the girls here 50/50 - who pays what? What portion and percentage? Who pays for the girls groceries, clothes, etc?

There came a point where we needed to have some real chats to work out what was fair for both of us in this kind of situation.

Have a listen. We hope you enjoy it.

Feeling Safe In My Body Again

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 06:00:00 +1100

**Please note, today's episode makes mention of sexual abuse.

The end to 2022 was a special one for me. An end that I wasn't expecting, didn't plan but one that I'm sure a wiser part in me knew I was ready to experience.

I share openly how much I experience anxiety, often saying to Steve (my partner) that in the last two years, this is the most anxiety I have experienced on a daily basis than I've ever recalled. It seemed odd to us both as I'm in a sweet place in myself and life.

Part of me thought, "well, anxiety is something I need to suck up and live with." But another part of me said, "there is something more to explore to ease the intensity." I listened to that part of me and the right people at the right time showed up, and boy was it a profound visceral experience that I'll never forget.

Listen in to the episode. I hope you enjoy it and take some gold nuggets away for yourself.

Less Push, More Trust

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 06:00:00 +1100

My theme for this coming year (2023) is "Natures Way".

As time goes on, it becomes more and more clear to me that what I want gets considered, yet what I need gets delivered. So this years theme seems truly fitting, surrendering to natures way, natures force.

Nature has its own plan, its own patterns, its own connections. This teaches us to trust in a higher power, that there are connections forming which we might not see today, and that our place within the whole is becoming and will be revealed in time. Maybe not in my ego's time, but always, in time.

Today's episode shares more about this theme, how I came to it (or rather, how it came to me) and already what it's teaching me. I hope you enjoy.

Be Sure To Do This When Setting Intentions

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 06:00:00 +1100

In the final episode for 2022 and as we head into that time where new intentions are set, please, listen to today's episode before you get busy setting new goals and intentions.

The more I do this work, the more it becomes obvious that a greater force, far greater than my little human ego self, is asking me to surrender more into the unknown and trust it. That in surrender, a certain space is created for deeper parts of us to speak to us, sharing with us matters that matter deeply.

I get it isn't easy to hand over your life to an invisible force, but as time as passed I can see that I previously I have tried to control too many outcomes, set goals from my ego and haven't left space for my heart to speak. As this has shifted, what I've needed, not wanted, has come to fruition.

I hope you enjoy the final episode for 2022. See you in your earballs again on January 16th.

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 06:00:00 +1100

I set a theme at the beginning of each year and for 2022 it was, flourish.
In my little human mind I had it all mapped and planned out, thinking, "bam, I'm gonna flourish from the get go!"

Well, if you've listened to this episode at the beginning of the year, you'll know that I was quickly sat back down by the Universe and how quickly that plan went out the window.

This year I have flourished but in ways I originally didn't intend. Something deeper took over and I learned a heck of a lot. Today's episode are my reflections and learnings from the year, plus four questions to ask yourself to reflect on the year that's been. I hope you enjoy.

When You Act On Assumptions

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 06:00:00 +1100

In October I wrote my journal, "stop holding them in a particular shape. Stop bracing yourself for how think they are going to be. Release them from the shape you're holding them in. Instead, meet them where they're at."

This was after I noticed that I was basing my behaviour on how I thought certain people in my life were going to behave. I was going into my, well they always act that way, so because they're like that, I'm going to be like this! It kept me in a low vibe dysfunctional pattern, assumption land and gave no space for anyone to be anything other than what I perceived them to be.

More on this in today's episode. I hope you enjoy.

How Do You Resolve Inner Conflict?

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 06:00:00 +1100

We all have choice to deal with inner conflict and pain in powerful ways; with integrity. It takes consciousness and presence which can be hard at times, but it is possible.What makes it difficult is the surge of emotions that stir throughout the body when someone or something touches a wound. When we don't know how to slow this process down, we resolve the pain and inner conflict in less than helpful ways.

Handling conflict with integrity means you choose not to respond from yourpain. This means we spray less of our own hurt onto others, the world or ourselves and take greater self responsibility.

Whose Mountain Are You Climbing?

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 06:00:00 +1100

Are the mountains, aka goals, you're climbing, yours? Or are they what you think you have to climb in order to feel more worthy, more enough, more important or more whatever? Or are they societal mountains that you've adopted as you're own, only to make your way to the top and ask yourself, "is this really what I want?"

Today's episode will have you take a step back and ask the question, "are the mountains I'm climbing mine? If not, whose are they? Are they ego driven or heart driven?"

Have a pen and journal with you to note the questions down and give yourself some space to answer them.

Discomfort With True Space And Time

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 06:00:00 +1100

Do you find yourself wanting more space and more time to breathe, to be, to ponder and do as you please? Do you also find that when you have that space and time to do as you please, there's a part of you that resists it, finds it uncomfortable wishes you'd never created space in the first place?

If so, then welcome to the, "I live with two opposing forces in me Club that seek different things!"

In today's epidise I share how my current coaching clients and I were only recently discussing this and how their ego's find space difficult, because it allows them to ask themselves deeper questions and have greater connection to themselves.

Such Is Life

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 06:00:00 +1100

Well, one week has gone by and my beautiful Grandfather passed. The night before he left this world I got to sit with him, kiss his forehead and tell him, "I love you." A precious moment I'll forever cherish.

Amidst the McFlurry of emotions this past week, there have been some incredible experiences that have brought joy and juice to my heart. That really is life isn't it - one moment it can rip open your heart and the next it can fill it with love.

That's how the last 7-days have felt; the human experience in full flight! Such is life.

Rushing To “Feel Better”

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +1100

I'm watching my ego as it tries to "make things better" as I currently experience the emotion of sadness and feeling of anxiety. The sadness is linked to my Pop being palliative and the anxiety is linked to family tension and dynamics.

Both situations are linked to uncertainty. How long do we have Pop for? How long will the family dynamics be tense? To try and ease the discomfort in not knowing, my ego is looking to feel better, faster. This means skipping over how I currently feel which will eventually lead to being overcome with feelings it's trying to run away from and appease.

Today's podcast shares how I am being WITH sadness and anxiety, rather than rushing to feel better or being swamped by the feelings. A fine dance, that's for sure.

When Enough Is Actually Enough

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +1100

I had a great realisation about a week ago when I saw my Kinesiologist, Elena Pilch. The way I have chosen to live my life, the space, the time, the choice of how I work, who I work with, etc is enough. The way I used to work was more hectic, leading to burnout, and my ego believed that when we hit burnout, THEN we've done enough!

So the past pattern was, "work until you're flatlined, because ONLY when you're on your knees with zero juice and life-force can you say you've worked your ass off and proved your worth!" Hands up how many of you do that?

Today's podcast shares more on this. Enjoy.

When The Worst Thing Turned Into The Best Thing

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +1100

Before every ZEROFKS dance party, the dream I have the night before is that the sound system fails. Each event it’s never bombed out, but at the last event, it did.

Mid dancing our assess off, the power went out — no lights, no music, 250 sweaty legends in a room. Ahhh, the dream (nightmare) came true.

Within a matter of a minute Nicole — @theartisanssolutions was up on stage. A woman I’d never met until last night, standing in front of everyone creating a magical moment where the whole room started singing acapella to whatever song she started singing. Her dear friend @jessicaroberts_official nudged her to get up and buy us time until we got the system working again. What a friend!

The deep fear I had turned into one of the best ZEROFKS memories where the definition of community came to life! Still blown away from this moment. Nicole and Jess, you’re my hero’s. Check it out here.

Shaming And Inhibiting What Is Natural

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +1100

A recent realisation has come about after having new photos taken a few weeks ago. I felt it was time to re-shoot photos that capture not only the happy, smiley and "out there" side of me, but also my feminine, softer side.

When I saw some of the images on the day, my initial response was, "I won't be putting those up!" Of course I'm curious as to why that's my first response, and it came down to shaming and inhibiting my beauty. That I'm not allowed to see myself that way or accept my own beauty because it's wrong and stuck-up.

It's been a cool realisation and one that I can now be in the practice of accepting more and more as I allow my feminine side to further emerge.

More on this in today's episode.

Life In The Slow(er) Lane

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +1100

After almost two years of slowing down the pace of my life and rearranging the way I 'do' so that I'm not always 'doing' for the sake of doing, I had a really lovely moment.

It was a simple moment of putting away a placemat. It was the way I put it away that made me go, "ahhh, this moment right here is the culmination of the last two years." The ease and slowness of picking up the placemat and putting it away without grabbing it in a huff or hurry, and shoving it in the cupboard so I could 'do' the next thing, made me realise how nice it is to have created a slower paced life.

More on this in today's episode.

What's The Story?

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 06:00:00 +1000

We all hold ourselves back from following our Truth due to a myriad of stories we tell ourselves. These stories are powerful, potent and are loaded with evidence as to why you can't speak your truth, or express yourself more freely, or say "I love you", to your partner, or leave a toxic environment.

This is normal, we all do it, but you don't want to let the stories become your truth. Today's episode has you has the question, "what's the story I'm telling myself?", and invites you to become curious why the story is there. Then there's a follow up question to ask, which you'll find in the episode. Enjoy!

Hitting Rock Bottom

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 06:00:00 +1000

I believed that hitting rock bottom was the only way to change, or at least to enforce myself to change. That feeling so low, or burnt out, or afraid of my thoughts would catapult me into action. Often, it did, hence thinking that rock bottom was how I could grow.

This past week I spoke to year 10 students from St Michael's Grammar School. We spoke about the dark voices in our head that lead to self destructive behaviours towards ourselves, our family and friends, and to hitting rock bottom. We also spoke about the light voice, the quieter voice that nudges us to reach out for help, or to do "X" before hitting the lowest of lows. It was a great chat.

The question I left them with was this. If you listened to your light voice a little more, "what would it say to you to help you not hit rock bottom over, and over again?" Some took the question away to ponder. Others shared immediately. But there was a strong sense that they knew what they needed to do and that it's about listening to that a little more.

The Ongoing Ego Battle

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 06:00:00 +1000

Not a day goes by where the ego won’t attempt to steal your focus and plant it on petty shit.

It’ll rant and rave about how you’re not ready, worthy, enough or perfect and make you do shit to be all those things before you can focus on what you truly want.

But denying that the ego exists, desperately trying to make it go away so that you'll live happily ever after without it is a quest that'll disappoint you until the end of your days. Toxic positivity, spiritual bypassing or shoving your ego into a box hoping it'll never return isn't going to bring you inner peace.

No one is exempt from the ego, no matter how much work we do on ourselves. The work needs to become about the sheer desire to grow and develop, rather than to eradicate a part of ourselves.

Self Punishment Cycle

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 06:00:00 +1000

Clinging onto negative thoughts as if they are the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you baby Jesus, will have you act out patterns that have no intention of serving your deepest good.

If you’ve been following along you’ll know that my thoughts have tried to eat me alive so that I don’t eat! Those thoughts tried to direct me toward a stubborn pattern of self punishment and restricting food like the old days. But instead of giving into them, I let them be there, watched them, observed the feelings that arose in my bod and chose to focus on being as kind as possible.

Two opposing forces all at once. One say RESTRICT and the other saying KINDNESS. I mean, talk about being pulled in different directions. But when you follow the one that you know will deep down serve you and not give into the old pattern, that’s big win.

Losing Focus From The Original Intention

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 06:00:00 +1000

I just played myself today. Well, my ego did.

For months I have truly enjoyed buying my stepdaughters flowers and putting them by their bedside. On the weeks when the girls are with us and I go to the local store and see the flowers, I can't help but think, "hmm, which ones would they love?" They have never asked for the flowers, it's simply a gesture from my heart to theirs.

Today my ego stepped in and hijacked my heart's intention, disguising itself as being of service to the girls. I didn't buy them flowers to see if they'd notice. If they did notice and said, "hey Kitty, where are our flowers?", my response would have been, "well, wouldn't it be nice to appreciate the flowers when they're there rather than when they're not?"

Yep, I made this all up in my head and had their response and my response ready to go. After getting home I realised, this was a bullshit trap that took me away from my original intention and focusing on a petty lesson they didn't even ask for.

I hope you enjoy! x

Energy Leaking Or Energy Hoarding?

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 06:00:00 +1000

Today's episode is an invitation to look at how you spend your energy. Do you spend it hard and fast? Do you spend more than you have? Do you keep it all to yourself for fear you'll burn yourself out again?

I was this close to spending my new and refreshed energy, fast! After returning from Hawaii, swimming in crystal clear oceans, being sun-kissed, no-where to be and not a lot to do, I had recharged myself to maximum capacity. And I felt freakin' great.

When I returned home, I felt an old pattern return. The one that spends my energy faster than it took to regain in. This too was a pattern with me and money back in the day. Just when I was about to overstep my own boundary and give another part of me away, I stopped, observed what I was doing and why, and remained in curious observation for some time. As a result, I've maintained the energy the energy I restored whilst away and intend to keep it that way.

I hope you enjoy treasures.

A Great Book To Support Simple Living

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 05:00:00 +1000

I took a book away with me on our recent family holiday. It had been sitting on my, "pile to read", shelf for a good few years, and it didn't disappoint.

If you, like me, have been summoned by The Greater part in you to lead and live a more simplified life that truly matters at your core, then you'll get a lot out of this book (if you haven't read it already).

It's a great companion as you go on your quest to peel back what is no longer for you. Amen to you for being brave and courageous to listen to your heart; a true legend you are.

Sacred Sundays

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 05:00:00 +1000

I’ve been less inclined to be on social media recently. To me, it’s bombarded with ads, peeps I don’t know, feels “noisy”, algorithm-ised to the max and the feed just doesn’t end!

I actually don’t scroll on here or get sucked into a vortex and end up a zombie. I do look at reels for inspo, check DMs as peeps reach out to do business, potential clients want to work with me and then I tap out.

But something in me just doesn’t feel the same desire I once had to always be on here. Something in me is saying, “live and drink in the life that is around you.” And I’m listening.

Maybe I’ll tap out for a few months. For now, I’m just off it more and will commit to Sacred Sundays of no socials. That feels like a nice place to begin.

I’ve definitely noticed already how much more time I have, space to tap into myself and my life, and am very much enjoying the additional peace in my mind.

Slower Paced Living & Why It Matters

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 06:00:00 +1000

Coming back to your natural rhythm is one heck of a journey, especially when you've ventured very (very) far away from it.

When you land back there, it's easier to hear what you want, what you don't want, what you need and no longer need. You can hear Your Self again, rather than the noisy chatter of doubt rattling around in your head.

In today's episode I share about what slower paced living allows us to experience again and how it's the basis for us being connected to our true Self. I hope you enjoy.

Are You Doing Life Your Way?

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 06:00:00 +1000

The song, "My Way", has been one of those songs that speaks to something real deep inside of me. My eyes tear up, I think of my late Nana who used to sing it and I'm immediately reminded to live my life, my way.

It beckons me to look inside, ask myself, if I lived my life my way, what would that look like? How would it be different to now? Or am I on track and can stop looking for something grander?

Today's episode is about living life in alignment to the way we deep down know is best for us, and tapping back into that internal wisdom. I hope you enjoy it.

When Clarity Starts To Land

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 06:00:00 +1000

After four weeks of being away on our family holiday, some light has found its way back to my soul and clarity is beginning to land.

Prior to being away I was wound-up, unwell and deep in a transformation period (I willingly asked for, ughhhh). At times I wondered if I'd ever feel clear in my mind again, be happy or sure about my path. But like many times where I have felt this way, clarity has always come, and it has once more.

In today's episode I'm sharing about the clarity that's landing and small steps to honour what feels good and true for my life. I hope you enjoy.

What Are You Missing Out On?

Thu, 16 Jun 2022 06:00:00 +1000

There'll be times when the stories in your head create conditions on why you can or can't do something. Maybe you really want to book in a fitness class, and you do. When the day comes to attend the class, your ego starts rattling off, "oh, it's too cold! I have too much to do at home. I need to get fitter before I go. I'm not in the mood!"

These stories place conditions on how you, or something (weather, weight, work) has to be before you can go and do that small little something you'd love to do.

Today's episode gets real about the stories in your head that are currently cock-blocking you from following through on something that you know will deeply serve you and your life.

Dare To Ask The Hard Questions

Mon, 13 Jun 2022 06:00:00 +1000

If you dare to ask the hard questions, are brave to hear the answers and courageous enough to act upon them, you are well on your way to being an aligned, authentic legend.

The reason you don't ask the hard questions is because your ego fears that the life, relationships and person that you've built will collapse, so it keeps you busy and distracted with "life".

If there is a part in you that is ready to ask, be brave and courageous, please, honour that. To do what deeply serves you and your life is a precious gift to give yourself, and this is one sure way to begin doing what is in your best interest.

Taking Time To Heal

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 06:00:00 +1000

After asking myself the question, "what can I do that would be deeply beneficial to me?", I received the answer, "take a step back where you can." Straight away I began to notice where I could pull back and one of those places was to take a break from podcasting this week.

Of course, my thoughts are flying around saying how I can't do that. But, I can. I'm buying back some of my time to heal and process current upgrades.

See you next week treasures. x

What's Your Relationship With Control?

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 05:00:00 +1000

As children, we create a control dynamic in order to deal with life's happenings.

For example, maybe you were the eldest child and had all the love and attention from your caregivers. Then, your sibling is born and that love and attention is shared. Unconsciously you make a decision about what that means and how to behave in order to gain control back. Maybe it's by being overpowering to your younger sibling or becoming reckless to take the attention back. This is control dynamics at play and we all do it to feel safe.

I've recently uncovered one for myself which I share about in today's episode.

When You’re Filled With Anxiety

Mon, 30 May 2022 05:00:00 +1000

What do you do when you're filled with anxiety? Do you find it too uncomfortable to feel? Do you look for ways to distract yourself, will-fully tell it to, "fk off", or do you become it and let is take you over?

I used to get angry when anxiety would show its face. I made it mean that something was wrong with me and that I wasn't mentally resilient. Now, I'm still not a fan but I have better ways of managing it.

In today's episode I share about being in the hight of anxiety and how I'm currently managing it.

What’s Your Relationship Like With Your Thoughts?

Thu, 26 May 2022 06:00:00 +1000

Do your thoughts rule the roost?
When they come in, do you grab onto each thought and hold it to be the whole truth?
Do you behave in ways where you question, "what the hell am I doing?"
Do you know you're not your thoughts but you don't have a way to not be overcome by them?

Today's episode is about what can happen when we don't powerfully manage the thoughts in our head, how that contributes to feeling shit about ourselves and what you can begin doing to shift the current relationship with your thoughts.

Not Just A Highlight Reel

Mon, 23 May 2022 06:00:00 +1000

Last week the full moon hit me hard! I woke up and felt like I'd been whacked across my head and was in a state of, "ughhhhh!"

I shared about this on insta and plenty of people were in a similar boat. Most were like, "OMG, me too, thank God I'm not alone", whilst others offered advice to help shift the state I was experiencing. If you've watched Brene Brown's Atlas of The Heart on Binge, then you'll recall her talking about how control is the near enemy to compassion. That when you open up to someone and they feel uncomfortable, instead of sitting with you, they feel the need to fix or offer a solution.

To me, it's important to share the whole journey of mental health and not just a highlight reel. It helps people feel heard, seen and less alone. In today's episode I share more about this and how our need to fix locks out compassion and as a result, connection.

One Very Powerful Way To End Indecision

Thu, 19 May 2022 06:00:00 +1000

This is a tool I have used for years when I am unsure about what decision to make or when I'm wondering if I've made the 'right' one.

To be real, there's no right or wrong decision, as both lead to experiences, however this practice really helps provide certainty and a feeling of support from the invisible forces that you're on the right path. Enjoy.

Stop “Fixing” Yourself

Mon, 16 May 2022 06:00:00 +1000

To all my fellow, “I need to fix myself in order to be loved, accepted, chosen, taken seriously”,
or whatever wonderful limiting belief you’ve made up, this one’s for you.

My ex full time job was to fix me to perfection and it drove me to feeling so low about myself. I didn’t want one shard of broken piece left in me, and I made it my business to clean it all up.

Turns out, the real work was in accepting the bottomless pit of brokenness and darkness, acknowledging it, listening to it, understanding why it’s there and learning to coexist with it.

If this is you right now, please, reach out. I am here to show you another way that will bring greater peace, empowerment and freedom than trying to get rid of it can.

5 Signs You're C@$k-Blocking Your Authentic Self

Thu, 12 May 2022 06:00:00 +1000

The first step to allowing your authentic self to come out into the world and be part of your life again is to acknowledge when you’re not letting it out, and then ask yourself …

• Why was it difficult for me just now?
• What story was playing in my head that stopped me from being me?
• What do you I fear most, even though it’s irrational?
• How did I feel in my body after hiding my authentic expression?
• What will help me next time to be more me? What is my next best step?

Have a listen to today's episode to get in on some juicy points and questions to ask yourself.

Are You Investing In Yourself?

Mon, 09 May 2022 06:00:00 +1000

I wondered why I've been feeling so bloody good lately. It got me thinking and I asked myself, "what's changed?" It became clear that I've been investing in myself and am in 'learning mode'.

At present, I have a coach who I reached out to, to help me expand. Recently, I went on the Her Trails Hiking Retreat in the Northern Territory and I signed up to Tory Archbold's business attraction program.

It makes sense, I'm filling myself up with the goods and have tapped into people I respect and who I believe can help me. My usual ways of thinking, doing and being are being challenged, questioned and reset which I am loving!

Are you investing in yourself? If not, why? If yes, how's it going for you? If you haven't for a while, do you feel called to? Today's episode is here as a reminder to check in with yourself.

Do You Ignore Your Truth?

Thu, 05 May 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Do you listen to the needs of your body? Do you listen if your body needs rest? Do you listen to the answers inside of you, or give your power away to others and only listen to them?

After an amazing client session recently, it came about for her to listen to herself, and to make space for that to happen. The simplicity of this message had a profound effect on her, because for so long the opinions of others mattered more than her own. For her, that ends now.

Today's episode is a great opportunity to check in with yourself and ask if you listen to yourself, or not. If you don't, why? What are the stories you tell yourself? What would be different if you did start listening?

Fuelling My Wild Heart

Mon, 02 May 2022 05:00:00 +1000

I've recently returned from Alice Springs after hiking the Larapinta Trail. It's safe to say that this time away cracked me open and fuelled my wild heart.

The transition from civilised living to camping in swags under billions of stars, in the middle of nowhere and on the red dirt, was far easier than I thought. In fact, I loved it! Eating around the campfire, sharing stories with the women and living basic, revealed to me how beautiful life is and the magic that is right "there" when distractions no longer distract.

In today's episode I share with you the change I feel making its way into my bones, the blessings I've taken away so far and that I loved being outside of my comfort zone.

What Is The Fight REALLY About?

Thu, 28 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Steve and I were driving to my friends wedding and we had the dumbest disagreement. Our defences were at play and we were going nowhere, fast!

Beneath the bullshit, the disagreement was really about Steve feeling unsupported by me, and I felt I was being controlled by him. On the surface we had our swords, shields and armoured suits on, both spitting fire and thinking we're both right.

But underneath the stupidity of our disagreement, our old wounds were fuelling the sword fight. Once we acknowledged what it was really about, we could stop with the tit for tat, get to the bottom of it and move on.

Freeing Your Next Layer Of Authentic Expression

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

We all do a pretty good job of hiding some amazing parts of ourselves. We can hide our self expression for fear of looking foolish. We can hide our values and what we stand for, for fear of being rejected. We can hide our dreams for fear they'll never come true.

Whatever we hide has a story behind it. A story that has power over the next layer of authentic expression finding its way out of you and into the world, unless you choose to call BS on the story.

Three Powerful Questions To Ask Yourself

Thu, 21 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

I'm a big fan of asking the deep self enquiry questions that open us up to receiving the answers we need to hear. Yes, those answers can be uncomfortable as they have the potential to rearrange our lives, but they often bring us closer to living a life that feels true and aligned.

These three simple yet powerful questions are ones to use in all areas of your life. They'll help you maintain an ace life if all is well, and redirect back to your truth when you've veered off path.

Reassessing Life And Letting Go, With My Love, Steve

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

I've been watching Steve make a shift since February this year. As he's shifting, I've noticed he's more soft, present, patient and quiet. He has more time for his daughters, enjoys spending time with them. He's journalling, making more space in his life for those who matter, and less time for those who bring drama.

As I watch him shift, I am falling more deeply in love with him. The fact that he chooses to grow, evolve and look inward is something I found incredibly sexy and inspiring about him.

In today's episode I ask Steve to share with us what brought him to this shift, how he's going through it and what lessons he's been collecting along the way.

The Road Back To Self, With Tory Archbold

Thu, 14 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

Always one to trust her intuition, after 20 years Tory Archbold knew that it was time to start a new chapter. Her ah-ha moment came after she launched 3 of America’s most powerful brands into Australia. At a sold-out launch event for Drew Barrymore’s brand Flower Beauty organised by Tory, Drew shared with the crowd about how she survived tough times.

Watching, Tory thought, ‘lady, I see you and raise you five. You know what, I’m done.’
Shutting the doors to her agency in 2019, Tory launched Powerful Steps, an online community and platform for women making global impact.

Amongst her career change, Tory was also undergoing her own inner transformation; to show up on the outside as she was on the inside. Authentic living was calling her to show more of herself, and in today's episode we go into those juicy nooks to hear her gold.

I Don't Sweep The Floors Four Times A Day Anymore!

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

For many years I have used cleaning and having a clean (well, perfect looking) space as a way to feel in control, safe and that everything was okay (for a brief moment).

Obsessive compulsive tendencies have been running through my veins since a teen, not knowing what the heck to do with large emotions and the impending feeling of needing to make sure that I was constantly in control and okay.

I started asking myself, "what else could or would I be doing if I wasn't sweeping the floor? What happened right before I decided to walk into the laundry, get the sweeper and start sweeping? What was I thinking about? Where was I feeling out of control or unsafe that has led me to sweep to feel fleetingly in control?"

These questions led to greater awareness of what was going on beneath the surface and gave me clues to piece together. They also led to answers to begin making changes that served me and my life, and not a clean floor.

Now, I sweep once a week, maybe twice and I have less charge and angst if a crumb is on the floor (winning). May sound strange, but this easing off has meant my fks can go towards far more fulfilling things.

What Is Your Ego Preventing You From Experiencing?

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 05:00:00 +1000

What is your ego preventing you from experiencing, expressing, sharing, doing or being? This is the question I posed at my recent Sunday Meds In Real Life event.

Is it preventing you from speaking your truth for fear you won't be taken seriously?
Is it preventing you from experiencing real and deep love for fear you'll get hurt?
Is it preventing you from standing up for what you believe in for fear you'll lose people in your life?

These are the deep questions to ask yourself ...

Letting Kids Be Kids

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +1000

My step daughter asked her PE teacher if she'd consider me coming in to run a dance and meditation class, to which she said yes!

So last week I ran two classes and watched these girls freely express themselves, dance, sing, jump around, do the worm, do flips and cartwheels, chase each other around and laugh and be silly. Even the PE teacher got on board!

My message to the girls was this. There are plenty of things in life we care about that matter, and that don't, and this can steal a lot of our attention. And, as we get older, more responsibilities are expected of us which can feel like there's a lot of pressure being human. Never forget to come back to these practices of having fun, freely expressing yourself and being in touch with you inner kid, because that's what helps us through what can be a boring and rigid life.

Do you let yourself freely express yourself?
Are you stuck in a rigid routine?
Have you lost your spark?

Cracked Wide Open

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1100

Something magical happened after Monday's episode. My step daughters wrote me a note saying that they want to officially adopt me as their step mum (insert tears).

I came home Wednesday night and Steve and the girls were in a funny mood. Little did I know that the three of them had chatted over dinner about me. Steve said, "Kat is choosing not to have children of her own. She's also choosing to take care of you two and guide you for the rest of hers and your life!" As a result of this conversation, the girls said, "let's let her know that we choose to take care of her for the rest of her life and adopt her".

I go more into this in the episode. But can I tell you how much my ego's stories are being busted left, right and centre. I have all this love around me that I've been protecting myself from. Not anymore, I'm cracked wide open.

Tired Of Closing My Heart

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1100

Triggers can be so automatic that when you realise you're triggered, you're already neck deep in your shit. That was me a week ago.

Control is something my ego loves to have. It's how I feel safe and sure about my environment. So when something changes that I wasn't ready for, I feel like my space is being invaded, that something bad is going to happen to me and as a result, I close up my heart and energy and head into the brace position.

I'm so aware of this, however at times, the trigger is so strong and I end up sitting inside a closed heart which I'm so done with. In today's episode I share about my most recent example of this, how I reopened my heart and started call major BS on my ego's same old story.

Why I’ve NOT Seen Myself As Sexy

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1100

This is a recent breakthrough that I have uncovered and am seeing in all its light.

I've been working with my coach and brought this to her after noticing how I dull myself down when it comes to feminine and pretty clothing, telling myself and others, "oh I'm just not a dress person". I did this also until recently when I told myself, "I'm not a shorts person", and would wear tights and pants throughout summer!

After guest speaking at an IWD event, I admired the woman who dressed sexy and boldly and wondered why I felt so uncomfortable expressing this part of me. With some solid self enquiry it became clear that I have used clothes as my boundary to communicate, "I'm not a sexy or sexual person, so stay away thanks!" During my late teens and early twenties I allowed people to treat my body however they wanted and gave it up freely. In my later twenties and early thirties I swung the opposite way, became closed and dressed to say, "not interested!"

In today's episode I share where this stems from, why I've made these decisions to date and how I'm allowing myself to express this suppressed part of me in a way that feels good for me.

**Please note that in today's episode there is mention of sexual abuse. Please be mindful of this prior to pressing play, treasure.

My 2014 Diary Entry

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1100

I found my diary recently and read through some of the entries. Wow-wah-wee!

The limiting thoughts I had back then are still the same limiting thoughts I have now, only in 2014 they were fully charged and triggered me to go down into a black hole of despair. Now, the thoughts are there, however due to ego work and knowing it more intimately, I no longer become the thoughts.

This is a great episode to share with you why knowing your ego is so important, and to befriend it rather than pretend it doesn't exist, or spend the rest of your years trying to fight and get rid of it.

If I Get Better, Will People Still Care About Me?

Thu, 17 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1100

Back in the days of chronic pain and taking pain medication on the daily after brain surgery, I got a lot of sympathy from people. My family and friends would often ask me how I'm doing, what can they do for me, and if I was okay. The frustrating part was that they couldn't do much, but it was nice to know they cared.

After hitting rockbottom and wanting out, I met my Professor of Neurology who gave me an alternative approach (listen here to the podcast I did with him) which eventually led to being pain free, happy and reclaiming myself.

But during that process from pain to freedom, there was a deep fear of getting better, followed by thoughts like, "no one will care about you, no one will ask you how are you, no one will offer their time". I began to notice a pattern across my life, that part of me was conditioned to get love from being unwell or something being wrong.

In today's episode I share how I let go of the belief that held me in the identity of a suffering victim and what was waiting for me as a result.

When Guilt Leads To Over Giving

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1100

I've learned this lesson the hard way many times. Over the past two weeks with the intensity of the world, I could feel the guilt of getting on with my life, business and responsibilities kicking in. All I wanted to do was more and more for the NSW/QLD floods, and my batteries were running low.

After a huge few days of helping organising Melbourne's mass donation drop for the floods, I looked at my week and it was full! My step daughters were coming back, coaching clients and guest speaking gigs for International Women's Day were ahead of me, and I thought, "if I don't pull back on the need to give out of guilt, I'll fry myself".

Today's episode goes into how the guilt of being safe in a world where others are suffering can cause over giving for fear of being selfish or insensitive. There's a balance between giving and ensuring that you're filling yourself up.

Have a listen to today's episode and lemme know your insights.

How To Discern Between A F!k YES And A F!k NO

Thu, 10 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1100

I was a YES gal! My immediate response was, "yeah sure, no worries", or, "yes of course, I'd be happy to", when in actual truth, I was not happy to.

The immediate yes came from a people pleasing, validation seeking and "please see me as an awesome human" place that led me to go against my deep down values. This further led to burnout due to giving out my energy without replenishing it.

Over the years I have learned to say no, which really messes with the people pleasing part of me. In today's episode I share with you one powerful and simple way that with practice, allows you to know if you truly want to say yes, or deeply want to say no.

Be Proud Of How Far You’ve Come

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1100

Sometimes it's easy to forget how far you've come and be constantly looking forward to be your best self! I do that too as I use it as a way to step into who I choose to be, but there's a time and place to remember where you are now and where you have been in relation to that.

Recently, I was doing a meditation when I was feeling doubtful about trusting the future I was moving towards. I imagined my future self came and took a seat next to me and gave me tender loving care, and a, "shhh, it's okay girl, everything is a-okay".

It was mega comforting, and then something very special took place. All my previous selves appeared in my imagination and took a seat next to me too, reminding me that where I am NOW is where my previous selves have wanted to be. It was a humbling moment that took me out of stressing about the future, and being totally proud of where I'm at now.

Listen to today's episode for juicy deets and golden nuggets.

What To Do When The World Seems F!d

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +1100

My youngest step daughter said to me, "Kitty, when will the world get a break?" My heart, oh my heart. She's at that age now where she's aware and also bombarded with information about the world and can't un-see or un-hear what she's taken in.

I get that there's always things going on in the world that are less than ideal, even cruel. It pains me to see people treating one another poorly, animals being seen as waste products or food, and the planet being stripped of its natural beauty.

When I get like this, I know I need to shift my head, because I'm heading into dooms day mentality. I do truly believe to my core that if we humans took greater responsibility of ourselves, knew ego from Truth, head from heart and acted in alignment with our values, the shit that we do to each other, sentient beings and our home would would reduce.

Today's episode is a raw one from my heart.

Top Shelf Self Care

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1100

I had one of those epic mornings recently, where I got to do all the things I love without time pressure and I friggen loved it! I call these kinds of mornings my "top shelf" self care moments.

I have three levels of self care - top shelf level, first shelf level and bench top level.

Bench top level self care is where I do the non negotiables, no matter how full my schedule is. This includes moving my body, journalling or meditation.

First shelf level is where I take a little more time with the non negotiables. I'm not as rushed and I might take my meditation and journalling into nature with my decaf soy latte. I walk a little longer or hang back after boxing to chat with my coach. I'll add in a coffee catch up during the week.

Top shelf level self care is where time is not a thing and I milk the shit outta what I'm doing, who I'm with and fall into the things that bring me joy.

Have a listen and I'd love to hear what your top shelf level of self care is. Please also reach out if you struggle to put into place bench top level self care.

Lotsa love x

Challenging My Belief That Being Feminine is Weak

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1100

I've judged the feminine hard. For a long time I've viewed being "feminine" as being weak and offering no value to the world. This judgement stemmed from how I viewed my mum.

She stopped nursing when my brother and I were born, to be there for us whilst my Dad worked. In my little head, I made up the belief that women have nothing much to give, whilst men go out there and get shit done.

As a result, I hyper-idealised the masculine, putting all my eggs in doing, pushing, proving and working hard. Giving myself a break, time, the luxury of space to be, wander, feel and do as I please has been hard for me. My egoic beliefs flare up when I want to rest and my thoughts hammer me, saying. "you're lazy, you're a loser, you're a nobody".

Over the last two years a new way forward has been calling me, and I've been listening. The resistance to balancing out the masculine and feminine in me has been real, but, worth it. Have a listen to today's episode and lemme know your insights and takeaways.

Give ZEROF!S To The Limiting Stories In Your Head

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1100

My boxing coach, Roger and Tania from Fit2Box, threw me into the ring and my ego shat itself.

I've been happy training on the pads, on the bags and in the ring with them doing drills. So when they said, "hey, jump in the ring with Mikayla" (who by the way is a boxing beast and has been training for one year), all my shit came up!

"No I'm not ready! I'll look like a dick in front of her and them. I'm amateur and will make a fool of myself", plus SO MUCH MORE. These barrage of thoughts came in hot and strong within seconds and I was thinking how the fuck to get out of it. Instead, I chose to focus on learning and growing from this and steer my fks away from the thoughts in my head.

Today's episode is a goodie if your head and limiting stories are currently messing with you, and stopping you from trying something new.

Why It's Hard To "Be Yourself"

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1100

When people say, "just be yourself", that can be uber confusing to decide which "self" to be.

There's a self in all of us that has an agenda and guideline for how you HAVE to be in order to be loved, accepted, valued or the most powerful. This is the self that you'll put forward on dates, job interviews, around friends or new people without even thinking. It's an automatic patterned response directed from your ego to act and behave in a certain way to get an unmet need validated.

Then there is another Self. This part of you has no agenda - it only wants what's best for your deepest and highest good. This Self watches, observes and notices how you think, act and behave and asks, "does this feel true to you?" It's the Self that is here to help you be You without the need to impress, adapt yourself, be a chameleon, be the class clown, be the most powerful. It has no agenda.

Today's episode is a goodie to buckle up and listen in. Lemme know your takeaways.

Respecting The Phases of Being Woman

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1100

In the last two years I have leaned in on knowing how I act, behave, think and feel pre period, during period and post period. Prior to that, I just thought I was nuts and coo-coo and tried to push through however I was feeling. These days, my body ain't having it.

I've learned about the four phases of menstruation - summer, autumn, winter and spring. I've listened more to what my body needs and what's going on, noticing when I have more energy, creative juices, low vibes and nothing to give. It's been really cool to honour this layer of being a woman.

In today's episode I share what I'm like during the different phases and let you in on the weird and wonderful behaviours I get up to. It feels nice not to suppress how I am for how I think I have to be.

These seven words keep me very grounded.

Whenever I feel the need to live up to societal timelines of getting married, having a baby or getting my eggs frozen because I'm now considered geriatric in the fertility world, I remind myself of these seven words.

Whenever I am looking left and right at what others are doing in my industry and I start telling myself stories that I'm a loser, that I need to hustle more and that I'm going to lose it all if I don't hurry up, I remind myself of these seven words.

Today's episode encourages you to take a look at where you are hurrying up your life based on external expectations or if they're coming from your pressure based thoughts.

Alone Time VS Keeping People Out

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 07:00:00 +1100

I love my alone time — it’s where the introvert in me thrives and I love the silence.

I can hear my inner voice clearly, the quiet space is freeing and it’s where some of my biggest chats with my higher self takes place.

I do need to manage this part of me because I can shift into shutting people out and not needing to see anyone. There’s a part of me that’s very happy on my own however I now know that can turn into a dysfunctional pattern of behaviour to lock off my heart and keep people out.

Previously I did this mega unconsciously and didn’t even realise how far I’d pushed the “alone time”. Back then it was a defence mechanism to not let people see my flaws, the not so pretty side or that I wasn’t coping with life.

But now I can sense when it’s healthy space or if I’m closing up. I’ve learned to honour and communicate when I need it and to stay open when I want to close off.

Knowing yourself, your edges, dysfunctional patterns and getting to know more of your true self is one of, and if not the most important thing to discover in this life.

When you know more of who you’re not and live more into who you are, that’s living authentically to you. No one else’s views or opinions of how you should be living matter as much because you know what’s true for you.

How To Handle The Messy Phase When You’re Doing The Work

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 05:00:00 +1100

I am smack bang in the middle of my self initiated growth shit storm. My ego is throwing up MAJOR resistance to listening to my Truth and I'm in all sorts. Self doubt is alive! Second guessing my Truth is alive! Hanging onto the things I have always been done is alive! The chaos feels real!

This is the mess that comes right after you've summoned the Universe and asked for change, growth, and new ways of thinking, doing and being in certain areas of your life. The Universe hears your call or reads your note, delivers you a message or opportunity to change and off you go and make that change. And then, your ego gets in on the action and starts getting in your head, questioning what you've just done. It's the perfect shit storm of anxiety, overwhelm, self doubt and resistance.

Time and time again, this phase comes with growth. It's normal, it's natural and it sucks ass. If you're in the same boat, have a listen to today's episode to help normalise this part of growth.

Healing My Relationship With My Body And Food

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 05:00:00 +1100

It has been the LONGEST journey to like my body. For as long as I've been inside my body, I have punished it in many ways. From over training, under eating, restricting food then binge eating then throwing it up, to drugs, alcohol and allowing myself to have sex with people I didn't want to.

Over the last two years I have been healing my relationship with my body through actually nourishing it with good foods, cooking at home, eating good carbs, protein and fats and training less than I have. As a result, it's the best I've felt in my body and that's a big thing for me to say out loud!

Listen to today's episode as I share with you what I've done to get here and the mental shift that took place to take my focus off how I looked, and rather on how I want to feel.

The Lesson I Learned When I Got Covid

Thu, 27 Jan 2022 05:00:00 +1100

Covid put me on my butt big time! What started out as hay-fever symptoms, it quickly turned into below zero energy, a non-stop headache, loss of taste and smell and reduced lung capacity.

But what knocked me for a six was the zip-a-dee-doo-da energy levels and not having anything to give expect for going to the toilet, eating food, watching Sex And The City reruns and moving from the couch, to bed.

My ego was really challenged during the 8 days of intense symptoms. No energy to cook, clean, sweep the floors, fluff the cushions, straighten the rug, pick up tiny granules of dirt that no-one else can see but me, and more! Plus, no energy to meditate, journal and make plans for the new year. I felt like the biggest blob and sloth who had nothing to offer or give, and that taught me something.

Have a listen to today's episode and lemme know your takeaways.

Own The Fact That You Judge

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 05:00:00 +1100

I am a Judgey Mc Judge. I used to think it was wrong and bad to judge others and have thoughts in my head like, "why are they wearing that? Why is she with him? Why do you talk that way? OMG can you chew any louder?"

Over time I have come to accept and normalise judgement. I was done with pretending I don't judge, when I do! I got sick of the shame I felt and wondered if trying to rid judging was the best path, or if it's something to accept as being human.

When it comes to judging others, I believe what matters is what we do, what we say or don't say, or how we act after the judgey thoughts have entered our minds. Have a listen to today's episode and lemme know what your take on this.

Face Altering Filters Are F***ked!

Thu, 20 Jan 2022 05:00:00 +1100

Never will I support or encourage the use of face altering filters. Do you know how long it’s taken me to love and accept my goddamn face?

From hating the shape of my eyes due to being called a “chink” in primary school, to being called a “round moon head”, to my skin and all its acne and being dumped for someone else who didn’t have pimples, AND MORE!

It’s been a long ass journey for me, and I’m sure for you too. So to be in a culture that has this so readily available to us all, AND CHILDREN is not okay.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you are a person of influence on here, stop using it and lead from the front when it comes to self love, confidence and acceptance.

When Your Gut Says, "NO", You Listen

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 05:00:00 +1100

What a ripper start the year! First up, I was in bed on NYE with COVID and got hit pretty hard. Second, I had my ideas and plan for this year and started mapping them out when I got some energy back. It took some decent time planning out the year as I have OCD tendencies, so when I took a step back to look at the year in a snapshot, my whole body, namely my gut, said, "NO"!

In today's episode I share where I'm currently at - a little lost, unsure and overwhelmed, but also in deep knowing that what has come through for me to shift and change to align more closely with my Self, is my deepest truth speaking.

Enjoy my loves, oh and also, I'll be releasing two episode per week! Monday's and Thursday's you'll have me in your earballs.

Why I Turned Away $19K

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 05:00:00 +1100

It can be a real pain in the ass when your values remind you why "this" or "that" doesn't align with you anymore.

Recently, I was offered two decent paying TV commercial roles. One was for four 'n' twenty pies and the other was Sportsbet. When I received the emails the answer was an immediate no. My whole mind, body and heart sang it like a gospel choir. It was such a spectacular "NO" that there wasn't any room to fight it.

It kinda made it easier because I don't eat animals, they're my friends, and I don't support gambling. But what I was most wowed by was the speed at which my values came in and spoke through me.

In today's episode I share about values, staying true to them, why they can be a pain when $19K is wanting to come into your bank account and how to gracefully move on and send in a new order to the Universe without making a big deal of it.

Stop Blaming The Universe For Intervening

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 05:00:00 +1100

You're either consciously creating outcomes in your life, or wishing that things would change, continuously talking about it and then being smacked down on your ass by the Universe.

I was having this chat with my client last week after two major areas of her life went down the toilet. One being her relationship that she wasn't happy in for years, and the other, her work. She wanted both to be better, to be different, to be more aligned with who she truly is. But talk without action creates an accumulative effect, a back log of energy that is stored and can only be stored for a period of time before it goes boom.

In one of our sessions, I let her know this and said you're heading for a Universals ass kicking if you don't start making conscious choices. Her ego was strong, stubborn and in victim mode. But all the while, the Universe was listening, responding and acted before her ego was ready.

In today's episode I go deeper into the benefits of being the conscious creator of your life and share why it's hard. Enjoy!

Mon, 29 Nov 2021 05:00:00 +1100

My ego has been getting caught up in living at a pace and rhythm that actually isn't mine. It looks at people around me and thinks, "oh shit, you're not doing enough Kat! You need to hustle more, post more, do more, create more, busy your schedule more!"

It feels when I try to force myself out of how I know I want to live, how I want to create and to dance with life at the pace and paces that are true to me.

So it's been my practice watch this pattern come up, create a shit tonne of anxiety and attempt to put pressure on me. It's been my practice to stay in my lane, own that lane and be a-okay there.

I hope today's episode lands with you. Lemme know your take-aways and insights.

Don't Just "Do" The Work, Integrate It

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 05:00:00 +1100

I had a great moment on a coaching call with The Legends a few weeks back. A good handful of them felt the need to confess that they had taken a break from the modules as they were integrating the work. To their surprise, they got a big "hallelujah" from me and a round of applause.

There's one thing to "do" the work. To know it, read it, talk about and think about it, but the next and most important layer is to integrate what you know, what you've read, talked and thought about into your life. That's the hard layer.

The ego will resist that step because it means change. "What if you lose your partner, job, friends, or your whole identity?" These are the silent thoughts the ego has that cock-block you from making brave and bold steps.

Enjoy today's episode and be sure to give us your feedback via review, DM or email.

Throw Your Relationship Criteria List In The Bin

Mon, 15 Nov 2021 05:00:00 +1100

I had a list, a big fat giant list of everything I wanted in a man. But I didn't just have one list ... I had umpteen lists because I kept forgetting to add "this" or "that" and wanted to make sure the Universe got my order right!

For years I was delivered what I wanted - the height, the success, the hunger for life, the physical chemistry. But for all those years, each person I'd meet and date never quite hit the sweet spot in my heart.

With spiritual maturity and epic annoyance of not attracting in the real deal, I got rid of all the lists and started focusing on the essence of the relationship I desired. I imagined the energy of "us", the feel "us", the way I was around him, felt around him and imagined that I could be my full self with "him".

This practice helped me open my mind, my heart, my eyes and senses to look beyond what I thought I wanted, and instead, acknowledge the essence of the person. As a result, my mind, my heart, my eyes and senses helped me acknowledge Steve as my person, someone who I friend-zoned for years because I had that darn list!

Living An Enriched Life

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 07:00:00 +1100

Something is definitely shifting in me of late, and I'm letting it happen. Usually, I'd psychoanalyse it and try to make sense of it, but this time, I'm allowing the intelligence to do it's thing as I step aside.

I can feel areas of my life that I have ignored or not placed as much importance on call me to lean into them, like family, adventure, and creating experiences and moments that I've previously deemed boring.

My clients have been inspiring me so much with their lives and it's sparked conversations between Steve and I. We've talked about living in different parts of the world, to travelling alone and honouring our independence, to how we want to lead as parents and care-givers, and more. It's been enriching and I'm excited.

Permission To Grieve

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 05:00:00 +1100

My beautiful client and now friend, Maddie, experienced a miscarriage over twelve months ago after falling pregnant unexpectedly. Being a mum was not on her radar at that time in her life, so this threw her for six.

Maddie went through a McFlurry of emotions and thoughts about what to do, what not to do and reassessed her life in a very rapid and short period of time. At her core, she knew that having this baby was not for her, but she felt guilt and shame around this. She thought of all the women finding it difficult to fall pregnant when they so badly wanted to, and how she was in a position of choice of whether to keep the baby, or not.

After looking online with not success for groups, podcasts or forums of women who has been pregnant, didn't want the baby and miscarried before having an abortion, left Maddie feeling alone and unsure of what to do with all the feelings moving through her.

In today's episode, Maddie shares her tough emotional journey with allowing herself to feel grief and how difficult it was for her to own her choice due to considering other womens' feelings before her own.

Take The Lesson And Put It Into Practice

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +1100

After my big fat healing last Sunday, it was time for me to put the lessons into practice. Once I had let out the big tears and journaled, I knew to create an end result to help me channel my focus into what matters ... my family.

Every part of my ego wanted to revert back to the old pattern of being open for a day and then shutting up shop, aka my heart, for the rest of the week. But fk that - there's a new sheriff in town and that's my true authentic self.

In today's episode I share the end result I created to help me focus on letting my heart stay open and what I put into practice to make the healing and epiphany real.

When Radical Change Is Necessary

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +1100

Holy mother of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The last four days have been some of the most intense, in your face healing that's taken place for some time. I have breakthroughs regularly, but this one was one of those almighty one's that cracked me open so I could see, hear, feel and be in new ways. Ways that were more in line with my truth, my authentic self - my essence.

In these last four days our family has undergone very deep and radical healing. I woke up on my birthday plagued with the same thoughts about my family, not belonging and wishing for a different life. I woke sad, unhappy and anxious. This made me really fking mad and so over myself and my ego. I knew something had to change and today was the day!

In today's episode I share the change that has taken place and why radical change was imminent and vital!

Being Okay With Choosing To Not Have Children

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +1100

It's been a long process to land in owning that I don't want to have children of my own. I've wrestled with this for some time, listening to others opinions, watching others with their children and thinking, "fk, am I missing something?" I've been told me many, "oh but Kat, you'd be such a great Mum!" I look at my parents and think I'm robbing them of something wonderful, come on Kat, just do it!

But to be radically honest, I just don't have that deep down feeling in my guts to have a child. And when this deep down feeling has spoken to me about other areas of my life, I know, "yep, this is for me!"

I feel pretty raw about sharing this and uncomfortable. But this is my truth and I'm becoming more confident in owning this, despite what my ego, or others, say.

My Journey To Being Vegan

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +1100

When I don't live true or closely to my values, my inauthenticity radar starts ring-a-ding-dinging! Most of my life before the age of 25 years old was having no values or saying I had them but never being able to stick to them. People pleasing and seeking approval came first and as a result my self esteem, confidence and trust in self dwindled. No wonder I struggled to look at myself in the mirror.

Over time, I started paying attention to what truly mattered to me, how I wanted to show up, how I could be proud of myself and like myself. As a result, my values started to come forth and challenge the way I was thinking, feeling and behaving. It's been one heck of a journey and to this day they still challenge me.

In today's episode I share about my path to becoming vegan. I thought this was fitting as it's Be Kind To Animals Week this week and I wanted to share the time it took to finally land in a place where I am congruent with my value of Kindness with regards to animals. To be real, it's been a long road of 9 years to get here.

Edgars Mission: Championing Kindness

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Pam Ahern is a deadset super hero in my eyes. She's the creator of Edgars Mission here in Victoria, one of my most favourite places on Earth. A lifelong animal lover and activist, Pam always had her heart for the animals. After being a long-time champion equestrian, everything changed when a tiny piglet, the eminent Edgar Alan Pig, trotted into her life in 2003 and led her down a path she’d never imagined.

She gave up her full-time paying job, hung up her riding boots, and dedicated her life to the protection of farmed animals. With Edgar firmly at its heart, Pam built the sanctuary, Edgars Mission from the ground up and set in motion outreach programs that would bring farmed animals out of the dark unknown and into public view.

Pam is also the proud Australian Ambassador for World Animal Day and was a 2014 Victorian Local Hero Finalist in the Australian of the Year Awards. In the lead up to Be Kind To Animals Week, I have brought Pam on the podcast to talk all things kindness and how we humans with beating hearts and change animals' fate through our choices.

How Now Milk: An Alternative Approach In The Dairy Industry

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +1000

I rate Cathy. She's an awesome human who took a huge leap of faith that was driven by her heart and values. Cathy couldn't comprehend that calves were being taken from their mother's and slaughtered so we could drink their mother's milk. I for one stand with her on this matter, big time!

HOW NOW Dairy is the end result of her heart and vision. It's what happens when a music industry exec (that's Cathy) meets a third generation dairy farmer, and together they decide to challenge the globally accepted inhumane dairy industry practices and create an ethical dairy farm based on the simple premise of kindness.

Third generation dairy farmer and renowned dairy nutritional consultant, Dr Les Sandles found himself becoming increasingly disenfranchised with the direction of the Australian dairy industry toward mega-dairies and in 2012, he and partner, Cathy Palmer, a passionate animal right activist who had built a career in the music industry, decided to stop complaining about the problem – and become part of the solution.

The dairy is small, family owned, and fiercely independent. They're proud of their commitment to a more ethical approach to dairy production.

Keep your ears and heart open in this one and see how much impact the value of kindness has when it's put into action.

Captain Asshole!

Mon, 13 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Been doing my darnedest to keep Captain Asshole at bay, however, she's making a regular appearance at the moment and it's been a real face ache. It's been exhausting coming back to my senses, getting out of them, coming back to then and so on, and I want to share here I manage myself during these times.

It’s not always easy sharing when I’m not okay. I fear that people will think I’m unstable or not fit for the work that I do. I fear I’ll turn people off and fk up my business. But, I’m a firm believer of not posting about not being okay one day of the year and then showing a highlights reel every other day. That to me is inauthentic.

I hope this serves you well. Love Kat x

Let Yourself Feel Again

Mon, 06 Sep 2021 05:00:00 +1000

For a lot of years, I numbed pain through drugs, cigarettes, dysfunctional behaviours and avoiding being with myself. To feel meant I had to address what I wanted to turn a blind eye to. It meant that there were truths for me to face or accept as reality when it was preferable to live in la-la land.

These days, feeling all the feels can be incredibly overwhelming, especially in areas I give a fk about - the environment, animals and the state of humanity. Accepting the extreme contrast of beauty and pain of this world can be a real struggle, so it's important that I have tools at the ready to support that feeling journey.

But I'd rather feel than numb out, than turn a blind eye, then pretend something isn't happening, when it is. Feeling the feels allows emotions to move through me, each of them communicating a different message that helps me make an empowered choice once I've allowed them to pass.

Have a listen to today's episode about allowing yourself to feel again. I hope you enjoy it and take some gold nuggets from it.

Stop Hiding Your True Essence

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +1000

My ego's greatest fear is being taken down. I have a story that goes something like this. "If I be me, I'll be taken down and have nothing left. I'll have everything to lose and I can't bear that pain again. So don't have anything to lose".

Recently this came up when I was doing a process on being my real and raw self. The same story reared its head and it became obvious that my ego is so consumed with, "not being me", because if I'm not the true me, then nothing can hurt me. As a result, if I stayed focused on that, protecting myself for fear of being rejected and alone, I'd abandon my soul for a false sense of security.

Listen to the podcast for the deep insights and how this can relate to the stories your ego sells you.

Focus On The True End Result

Mon, 23 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +1000

I've got big dreams that I focus on and act in favour of. I call them my True North Stars, or end results. These are the desires in my heart that long for me to live into, embody and materialise. They help me grow, be more resourceful and challenge the shit outta my limiting beliefs.

A few of my clients ask me, "but what about on the daily Kat? What about little goals for the day, do you set them?" For sure I do. I call these, "my daily practice". When I ask myself, "what am I in the practice of today?", I intend for the practice to help me serve my highest good and the good of others. This becomes a mini end result for me to keep me in check and remind myself that this is the matter I want to make matter.

In today's episode I share about how I go about this in greater depth in hope to serve you in your journey.

Lotsa love x

Peace Begins With You

Mon, 16 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +1000

In 2013, I wrote a peace essay on what peace means to me. It was an essay competition led by Rotary, that would see 10 young people chosen to go to the Rotary Global Peace Forum in Japan. 60 applicants sent their essays in, me included, and I was one of the 10 chosen to go.

At this time in my life, I had overcome chronic pain, stopped taking medication, broke up from my co-dependent six year relationship and felt like something in me was calling for more. I had overcome so much adversity and felt like an overflowing cup of energy, power and a new zest for life. Something in wanted to give back and take the learnings I had learned and share them.

I spoke to my Dad about this. Dad's a devoted Rotarian and pointed me in the direction of some programs I could get involved in, plus the peace essay. These were the first steps I took towards a path that I couldn't see clearly into, but I could feel it.

In today's episode I share this journey and the essay that I wrote (with a few tears). I believe this episode is an important one as when I wrote this essay, I had no firm vision around what I wanted to do, but had a feeling in me that wanted to be explored. Choosing to follow the feeling led me to where I am today, and maybe there is a feeling inside of you waiting to be acted upon too.

Bust Your Ego’s Illusions

Mon, 09 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Can you tell when you're in egoic truth (illusion) versus "truth" truth?

In my illusion (although it feels like reality), I’m right and everyone else is wrong. They’re the problem, not me. I haven’t done anything wrong, it’s all on them. They have to change, not me!
My head hurts. I’m tunnel visioned. My energy and heart is closed for business and I’m defensive as all hell. Then I judge, project, separate and disconnect (what a catch)!

When I am aware of myself in this ego drunken state, to sober myself up I unplug from the noise in my head and tune into KAT'S SOUL FM Radio Station (aka, my soul). In there I have access to higher truth and have greater capacity to expand my view of myself, others and life beyond limited thinking.

It's a humbling process to come out of illusion and back into reality. It'll hurt your ego but liberate your soul.

Spiritual Perfection

Mon, 02 Aug 2021 05:00:00 +1000

I fooled myself. I'd tell myself if I did "this", then I'd be rewarded by the Universe and be deemed a true spiritual person. The stories I'd tell myself if I did or didn't do my practices was causing mental disturbance, unrelenting standards and a path of spiritual perfection.

I'm all down for keeping our minds in check and doing the work. But sometimes, part of doing the work is allowing ourselves to be human, to be real with our emotions and to feel what's going on before spiritually bypassing everything with practices.

LIVE COACHING SERIES - Rebuilding A Life Where I Matter, With My Legend, Michelle

Mon, 26 Jul 2021 05:00:00 +1000

We have reached the final session of the coaching series with my Legends, and to finish us off, Michelle has bravely brought herself forward.

Michelle lived for everyone else for a really long time. Her needs, wants or desires weren't ever up for consideration because in her belief system, everyone else's needs, wants or desires were for her to support.

" Kat, I have been living and operating unconsciously for so long, that I have had a massive realisation that I have not taken personal responsibility for anything for as long as I can remember. I have just gone along with whatever anyone wants to do, have been too afraid to make decisions that might “rock the boat”, have not used my voice, and have lost myself - I am 53. For my whole life I have felt as though I am unworthy and that is why I have let others make decisions for me. I am also a procrastinator and think of, “what if this goes wrong?" My husband was in a relationship with another woman for 2 and a half years, 9 years ago. Can you believe that I have hung around for this long? I have been pretending for soooooooo long".

As a result, many of her deep inner longings have gone unacknowledged and unnoticed, and now she is rebuilding herself, doing the work and digging deep into herself. Michelle's story is a familiar one to so many and I am thrilled to share her with you all.

LIVE COACHING SERIES CONTINUED - The Pain Of Perfection! With My Legend, Sylwia

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 05:00:00 +1000

After the coaching series with four of my Legends, two additional Legends reached out and said they were keen to jump on board. And I couldn't resist!

Sylwia's primary limiting belief is, I need to be perfect, and this belief is interfering with her desire to pursue her passion for photography and take the next step in getting experience. In today's coaching call, we uncover where this belief stems from and what her environment was like as a child to feel the need to be perfect.

The reasons that are blocking her from taking the next steps revolve around, "what if she's not good at it, or the photos don't turn out good, or that she may not enjoy doing it". I share with her how her ego is making it about her and not the true end result, which is to express herself through photography.

Listen up to today's episode and see how Sylwia shifts from avoiding taking action to being made accountable for her next best step.

LIVE COACHING SERIES - Who Am I If I’m Not A People Pleaser? With My Legend, Kat

Mon, 12 Jul 2021 05:00:00 +1000

My coaching client and legend, Kat, is upgrading herself in monumental ways. She's currently navigating life and herself without the unconscious need to put everyone else first, do what serves her and connect more deeply with her true self.

This is creating a shit storm for her ego. Her ego sees her as the helper, the pleaser, the "shut your mouth woman and get on with it" kinda woman. Since she was little, seeking validation from those around her became her job description. When her mum died and step-father left, she doubled-down to become the carer of her two sisters and shoved her needs aside.

You'll hear in this episode just how much this decision has fkd with her over her years. And now, she's writing a new story for herself.

LIVE COACHING SERIES - Running From Reality With My Legend, Kieran

Mon, 05 Jul 2021 05:00:00 +1000

When Kieran reached out and emailed the below, I knew he had to come on the podcast.

"After so long of thinking I knew who I was, I realise and understand that my lifestyle and a job I miss dearly, clouded my actual perception of myself as I would tend to live two separate lives (I guess a contrast of my ego vs my heart). I am learning ways in which to deal with this anxiety when it happens but I just want to understand more and how to lean into my kick-ass self".

In this episode, it becomes clear to Kieran why he learned to shove his feelings and needs aside to ensure he wasn't an extra burden on his mum. Her ease came before his which led him to carry on and be okay when wasn't. This pattern created a reality of unconsciously finding ways to escape reality, and in most recent times this was through his work.

Now, life for Kieran is about staying with reality which is helping him be more real and facing things rather than running from them. Amen to you Kieran.

When Eve and I jumped on this coaching call, to hear that her belief system said that there were only two options for how she could operate in the world, and that to get someone to love her were, "don't be too much or make sure you're enough", hurt my heart.

Inconvenient Truths

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 05:00:00 +1000

We've all had those moments where an inconvenient truth lands in your lap. It's the, "it's time to slow down and enjoy your life", "this relationship doesn't serve you", "you are settling for less than you're worth", "your health will be at risk if something doesn't give".

Deep down you know it's true, but you also know it'll rearrange you. When truth comes in, resistance comes next . What you do next is completely within your hands. You're gifted with the opportunity to do the hard work, or, live a hard life.

How Not To Give Up On Your Ideas When Sh!t Gets Hard

When you have a wicked idea and it feels true, a rock block can be very fricken annoying. Some road blocks are small whilst others are harder to move through. When I first had the idea to create a meditation app, I knew I'd meet some block along the way, but this one tested my commitment to the end result.

Many times I doubted the app and if I could trust my intuition on this one. I needed to become extra resourceful to bring this one into reality and meet a lot of my egoic limiting beliefs.

In today's episode I share with you how I move through road blocks, the tools I use to keep me connected to the end result and what to expect from your ego when shit gets hard.

What Are You Avoiding?

Mon, 31 May 2021 05:00:00 +1000

I meet resistance frequently, and these days I welcome it.

It comes right after I’ve realised something that’ll help me grow or when I get an answer to act upon. It says, “nahhhhhhhh, let’s not do that for A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z reasons Kat!”

Back in the day I’d hate myself for having resistance, thinking that I’m shit or not evolved enough yet to not experience it (thanks ego).

So now I let resistance have its place and allow my ego to chuck a tanty. Maybe it’s a day, three days or a week. But I have a time limit on it, and after a period of conscious resistance, I take the reigns and take the action.

It’s a new way of handling resistance and I really like it. I’m keen to hear how currently manage resistance. Or if you’d like some guidance on this, DM me.

The Power Of "The Work"

Mon, 17 May 2021 05:00:00 +1000

A client of mine finished up coaching recently and she said in our last session, "Kat, I don't know how to be my old self anymore - it feels unnatural!" BOOM! In the beginning, her false self felt normal, to the point where she thought it was her. But overtime she distanced herself from this false belief. She created space between thoughts and slowly began to free herself. This is the power of the work!

Is it hard? Yes. Is it unnatural in the beginning? Yes. Are there times you lose the battle to the old self? Yes. But eventually, with enough commitment and dedication, you make the shift.

Listen To Your Inner Child

Mon, 10 May 2021 05:00:00 +1000

I owe a massive s/o to my inner child for being the creative spark behind all I do.

Meet little Neng (Filipino nickname), my kickass inner child who I shut out and hid away for too long, for fear of being rejected and not liked because I thought it’d be easier to be rejected for someone I’m pretending to be. I altered who I was to fit in, please others and sacrificed my soul for things I knew I didn’t want to say yes to, but did, which took me to a place of losing who I was and veering away from my true north.

I keep her real close to me these days as she helps me lighten up, follow my bliss and do more of what lights me up!

When You Fear Letting Go Of The Old You

Mon, 03 May 2021 05:00:00 +1000

I was afraid to get better. And when I say "I", I mean my ego. I thought if I got better, no one would care about me anymore. No one would ask me how I am or think about me. That if I was well people would get on with their lives and I'd be left on my own. Sounds fkd up, and it is, however I appreciate the ways of the ego and the lengths it'll go to, to keep me in a box of, "this is just the way life is!"

So when Professor Jackson, my Neurologist said to me, "you can be pain free if you choose to really put your mind and actions towards it", my ego felt threatened. And it felt threatened because he spoke to something in me that said, "YES, he's right!" His words woke up a dormant power inside that would eventually give life to self responsibility, freedom and choice.

My ego reminded me of all the times I tried to get out of pain with no successful outcome, telling me, "there's no use, no point, it won't work, what does this guy know?" I now know it was trying to protect me from being powerful, which would then lead me to being well, free and happy. It was time for me to let go of getting love from something being wrong with me and choose to receive love just as I am. That no particular state would make me more loveable or gain more attention.

Letting go of ego stories and reframing can be a hard slog as all my coaching clients will know too well. But fk, it's worth it.

Moving Through Resistance

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 05:00:00 +1000

There is so much magic around us and within us to experience, and for those who dare to open and play with this magic will know just how special it is. When it comes to my coaching clients, some are super open to It - intuition, energy, signs, spirit, whatever you want to call 'It'. Then there are some clients who are logical thinkers, who know something is out there but are more afraid to welcome it into their lives. Their ego's spook them, telling them, "it's not safe", and so they rely on logic and what they know cognitively to guide them through life.

I tell them, "if want something more, deeper and soulful for yourself, you have to be willing to trust a new way forward". They agree.

If you are in this same position then today's episode will be great for you.

When Friendships Become Toxic

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 05:00:00 +1000

I had a pattern of attracting in a BFF where we would become inseparable and then the friendship would die. Little did I know there was an unconscious belief going on that sought a BFF who could help me direct my life because I sure as hell didn't trust myself to run my life. There was a mutual dependency on one another and that eventually led to toxic ways of relating. Not being myself was a big contribution to the friendships being tumultuous and it was my responsibility to shift that.

In today's episode I share how I began to trust myself and become an independent being and how I now see friendship. Enjoy!

Don't Be Afraid Of Anxiety

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 05:00:00 +1000

Gabe is one hell of a guy. His energy and smile is infectious! He values connection and community which is a huge reason why he is the Founder of @heymate - an online Men's Health community, the Co-Founder of @the_finishr - a run club based down on the Victorian Surf Coast, and is a lululemon Ambassador.

Whilst going for his own personal pursuits of happiness and potential, Gabe has needed to meet anxiety head on since a child after losing both his grandparents in a short amount of time. Not knowing how or who to express his emotions and feelings to, his thoughts turned on him, leading to anxiety and obsessive compulsive behaviours.

He now learns to live with anxiety rather than run from it or fear it. A true warrior with the kindest heart.

Don't Allow Yourself To Suffer

Mon, 29 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1100

I experience anxiety pretty frequently. I can get anxious that I’m not doing enough, that I’m doing too much, that the house isn’t clean enough, that I have a full week of coaching and meetings, that I don’t have a full week of coaching and meetings AND SO MUCH MORE!

I feel it in my chest. My breath becomes shallow and I’m breathing in my upper chest only and not into my belly. It gets real tight. Sometimes I do something to ease it - dance, listen to music, write the shit out that’s in my head, talk it out to Steve or just leave it alone and get on with my day with it there.

I get anxious due to my beliefs and stories created by my ego that is never fking satisfied with now life “is”, or how life is changing or ANYTHING really! It finds something about me to pick on, my relationship to pick on, my business to pick on. As I move forward in life, it focuses on all that could go wrong. When I’m in my manifested reality, it wants the old life. If I stay still for a moment, it tells me I ain’t doing enough.

There is just no winning with it!!

So I know it’s there, doing it’s best to create angst and suck me into the angst. That’s where I’m most proud. The sucking in of the anxiety is no longer there. I feel it, I observe it and I choose what is best to do next. There is freedom in allowing anxiety to come up, be there and to powerfully choose what do to next.

Embodying The Work Through Experience

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1100

I love to learn through experiences. For me, it creates massive and immediate transformation in my body. It's not just my head learning something, it's an integrative process. I've made it my personal responsibility to bridge the gap between where I am and where I want to be and that's been my jam for over a decade now.

Back in the day when I hated my body and disrespected my boundaries, I reached a point where I was so tired of the self hate. After a chat with the Universe and myself about wanting to shake this, signs started coming in about nude modelling. I took a big leap of faith and followed my intuition which led to incredible healing around my body and past traumas.

Feeling Lost In New Territory

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1100

I’ve been having chats with my future self and receiving guidance on the changes to make to live even more in alignment with my heart. After making the changes, I’m now in new territory of more space for myself and my default is to fill it with work. I asked for the change I’m experiencing, and with that change comes a rearranging of how I once lived to how I choose to live moving forward.

I’m right in the midst of resistance and angst to the new reality I’ve created and I’m in the practice of being with this current state. Instead of avoiding or running away from it, I’m allowing it to be there because it’s simply part of the process. The less I fight it, the easier it will pass, because it always passes.

Make Yourself Matter

Mon, 08 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1100

I spent a lotta good years abandoning myself. Taking care of me wasn’t on the priority list, so you guessed it, everything or everyone came before me. The message I was sending was, “I don’t matter, I’m not important, I don’t have a backbone”. Speaking up and standing up for what I wanted felt too awkward, so I bid farewell to my sense of self.

It’s taken a lot of years to find my way back and to stay true to the most basic and foundational work — taking care of myself. This looks like moving my body daily, giving my mind space in meditation or contemplation, having quality alone time and eating well. These are my absolute non-negotiables that I just won’t fk with anymore. No matter how full life gets, these stay!!

This is sending a message that I matter, I’m important and I’m strong mentally to honour myself”. If you’re fking with your foundations, ask yourself what are your non-negotiables and choose one to focus on. Start somewhere.

Listen To Your Inner Voice

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 05:00:00 +1100

For so long I lived not listening to, or honouring the voice inside me. The voice that knows exactly where I need to go, what to do, what not to do and how to be me. These days, it’s legit my #1 BFF and has led me to create a world I once dreamed of. Do I have resistance to it? Yah! Is it easy to follow its guidance? Sometimes yes, sometimes naaaaat!

Learn To Be Still

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 05:00:00 +1100

I’m undergoing some deep energetic shifts and my ego ain’t liking it one little bit. To be truthful, I’ve been experiencing a fair whack of anxiety and self doubt. There’s a call I’m answering to really serve how I choose to serve, to create my life and use time how I really want to and it’s causing me to look at what I’m doing, reassess it and make changes. My word INTENTIONAL for this year is really well lit.

This means I’ve been working my absolute ass off to get things ready for The Legends launch, and at the same time reevaluate and reflect on what and what isn't working. It was perfect timing when I looked over @taniayorgey instagram today to pick a card and it was The Tower. Time to let go, let whatever needs to crumble, crumble, to rebuild or leave space and not fill it.

So as I hear all the doubt and feel all the anxiety, I choose to focus on what I know I’m being called to step into. Even though it’s challenging, I know it’s right and my future self is guiding me.

Losing Yourself In Relationships

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 05:00:00 +1100

I was that gal who morphed into what my partner did, ate, who be hung out with and how he lived. All my ways of being went “bye bye” because of a belief I held true that went something like this - “If you don’t do what they want to do, they’ll break up with you. You’ll appear difficult, you’ll be a drainer and that’s not how to keep a boyfriend. So just put your shit aside Ms John!”

That led me to planet LOST! and it took months (sometimes years) to retrieve my lost self and put it all back together again. Well fk that! I'd rather lose a relationship than lose myself again. However I do believe there is a sweet spot in the middle and that is that we can own who we are and share ourselves with another without getting lost.

Stop Getting Caught Up In Drama

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 05:00:00 +1100

Oh it's easy isn't it, getting caught up in other people's shit storms, or, being the creator of a shit storm and wanting people on your side. I used to contribute to other people's drama by getting emotionally invested and involved, which was a complete waste of time. I added no value or real support to the person, giving away my power and encouraging them (unknowingly) to give theirs away too.

These days, I have way better boundaries in place as a way to respect my energy and offer empowerment to the other person. If you create drama or get sucked into it, listen to this.

Leaving Behind What You Know For What You Stand For

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 05:00:00 +1100

Cathryn Wills established Sans Beast in June 2017, after a career spanning close to
30 years in the Australian fashion industry.

The late 80’s saw time in retail at Benetton, followed by various roles at Palmer Corporation, before gaining a BA Fashion at Melbourne’s RMIT. A substantial chapter at Country Road then followed, where Wills worked in knitwear, eventually becoming Knitwear Design Manager across the men’s and women’s divisions.

Post leaving Country Road, Wills pursued a freelance design career for a number of
years, before finding her niche at Mimco, joining founder and former owner Amanda
Briskin (-Rettig) in 2004. Wills went on to the role of Creative Director post the sale
of the business, and in 2010, expanded her creative remit to encompass the
commercial leadership of the brand, as Managing + Creative Director.

After living and breathing the world of leather handbags + accessories for over a
decade, Wills adopted a vegetarian diet in mid 2015 - going vegan 18 months later -
and progressively recognized a disconnect between her professional role and her
ethical stance on animal welfare and the environment. Through further education,
Wills saw the need to change her consumptive and creative path, eventually
resigning from MIMCO in early 2016.

In establishing Sans Beast, Wills has dedicated herself to building a design led,
quality brand, with compelling visual + written storytelling. The brand sources
responsibly manufactured, non-leather materials for the collection + manufactures in
an ethically run, family owned factory in Southern China. Sans Beast is PETA
accredited vegan + donates to animal sanctuary, Edgars Mission with every
purchase made on the website.

Stop Wasting Time

If you spend money how you're currently spending your time, would you be broke? This is a question I've been challenging my coaching clients on recently when they tell me they haven't followed through on the work. If you're not using time to your advantage and following through on what truly matters to you, then it's no wonder you're tired, exhausted, pissed off or burnt out. Aka, you're energetically broke.

I've been using a new technique recently to use my time more wisely and intentionally (my word for this year is "intentional"). Have a listen to apply this technique so you're no longer "broke".

Building Authenticity

Mon, 18 Jan 2021 07:00:00 +1100

One area where you can build authenticity and the ace feelings it brings, is to match your actions to your words. You would've heard the phrase, "practice what you preach", and this is exactly what I'm talking about. Too many times you may say things about love and light, but act in ways that have zip-a-dee-doo-da with those words. You may preach about forgiveness but are being stubborn as all fk about a past situation. This is being out of alignment and chips away at being authentic.

Living true to your word (and you ain't going to get it perfect every time) is one way you can begin the journey towards being authentic, or sharpen yourself up if you're already on that journey.

From Anxiety To Living In Her Purpose

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 07:00:00 +1100

This is a MUST listen to be inspired to follow your heart.

Emma is a past coaching client of mine who reached out in 2019 to seek help after having an anxiety attack and feeling depressed for a short period of time. That experience rocked her and I remember our conversation on the phone when she said to me that she wanted these negative thoughts to be gone and never come back. I replied, "that ain't going to happen". I helped Em realise that it's about learning to live with negative thoughts whilst focusing on the things that truly matter to her, and as a result the anxiety should ease.

She came on-board my six month coaching program to help her to focus on bringing into life what her soul desired. Ultimately, she realised she wanted to expand her focus beyond the corporate world and in her heart she wanted to write and create music. Six months went by and she created over 60+ song ideas and is now producing her very own music.

If I could describe Dani Stevens, it'd be that she is a HUGE ray of sunshine. Man is one heck of an energy - she's legit palpable and oozes vibrancy. She is someone who is living in alignment with her truth that continues to evolve and I have major respect for that.

Her vivacious personality and down to earth sense of humour is part of her success in motivating others to take control of their lives through health and fitness. Once a corporate ladder climber and living the hustle and bustle life, her journey from burning the candles at all ends to becoming her own version of superwoman, is very inspiring. She began to motivate women by sharing her weight loss (100kg weight loss) journey online in 2012 which took on a life of its own and has opened so many amazing doors and opportunities.

Just talking to Dani you can't help but think, "shit, if she can do it, I can too!" She's an incredible role model for us all and I'm so stoked to bring her to your lives.

When my step-daughter's are here and I hear them walking down the stairs on down the hall, my body literally freezes. My mind logically knows it's them but my body is right back in the moment of being sexually abused.

Living In Duality

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 07:00:00 +1100

The freedom I’ve found in letting my darkness be there without needing it to go away or fixed in order for me to do epic shit, is beyond words.I can’t tell you how many YEARS I wasted trying to fix the dark so I could THEN play in my light. Yet every damn time I’d fix it, thinking BOOM, I’m free, it’d come back and I would feel utter despair and hopelessness.

I’d think I’m a screw up, an idiot, a loser, a nobody, a failure. When I realised my focus was in wasted territory I made it my mission to let my darkness be there, come up when it wanted to have its say and then leave it be. So now when I create something new or meet a new level of potential and I’m metaphorically shitting myself, I let myself feel excited, courageous and pumped AND anxious as all fk.

Prior to this I would hate that I felt all the “bad” feelings, punishing myself for thinking and feeling negative things. It’s been one of the toughest lessons to learn to accept my dark side and appreciate its presence, but it’s been worth the battle.

Long Term Relationships And Sex

Mon, 05 Oct 2020 07:00:00 +1100

Not gonna lie, Steve and I are nearly four years into our relationship and my sexual drive has shifted from when we first met. Now I know this is a normal thing but I wanted to know why for two reasons. One, my, "it's too late, I'm too tired, I'm about to get my period", and so on reasons were wearing Steve down. Second, I didn't want to be nearly 35 years old and dismissing my sexual energy.

I got onto an incredible book by Esther Perel, Mating In Captivity. In my opinion this is a must read for everyone to appreciate the real reasons why it takes a lot of work, creativity and open communication in long term relationships for sex to be part of the relationship.

Her mission is to help other women to create a business on their own terms that provides them with the income, lifestyle and freedom they desire. Em is an international marketing coach, top-ranking podcast host, speaker, interiors lover and black coffee drinker.

Giving ZEROFKS Ain't Easy

Mon, 21 Sep 2020 07:00:00 +1000

To this day, giving ZEROFKS for the things that I "think" are important or matter (but aren't) isn't easy. I'm forever determining and asking myself, "is this really where I want my focus to be?" There's a part of us all that cares a lot about what others think, how we're going to be perceived and if we'll be accepted or rejected. And it's this part of us that tends to focus and project our own thoughts and fears onto others, taking zero self responsibility for the quality of our thinking. Every time I put out an episode, instagram post or create a new program, this part of me is 100% focused on what others will think and if they'll like it. The key to giving ZEROFKS is how much am I going to make that matter? How much energy and attention am I going to give that thought? Enjoy today's episode and let's see what comes up for you!

When this person corrected me, I was mid taking in three fresh breaths of air to ease the anxiety in my chest. I thought are you fking kidding me? Is this what we've come to?

Before correcting another person about their mask, consider the human behind the mask, because there is one there with a beating heart.

How are they doing?

Maybe they’ve lost their job.

Maybe they’re as over it as the rest of us.

Maybe they have asthma.

Maybe they just want some fresh fking air for a minute too.

Maybe they have something I don’t know about.

We’re now conditioned to correct people about mask wearing but please, don’t lose your sense of humanity in the process.

What a dream! But alas, we're human and it doesn't work that way (boo). Why is it so darn hard to face the shit in our lives? To avoid communicating honestly withy your partner when things aren't good, having a hard chat with yourself when you're screwing up your health, or facing really your finances when they're all messed up? It may sees easier to avoid what is actually causing pain or suffering but that eventually catches up with you and bites you in the butt.

Get this episode into your earballs for some tough love kick up the butt!

Humble Warrior

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 07:00:00 +1000

This is how I'd best describe Manoj Dias. A humble warrior, beautiful friend to me and a teacher for the world, this legend's energy is something else. We met well over a decade ago in the party scene and even then he was always my safe space. If Manoj was around I felt like an angel was watching over me, for real!

Prior to the life he leads now Manoj was climbing the corporate ladder working his ass off and seemingly "had it all". The job, income, invites, parties, you name it. Yet anxiety was building inside him and escaping through drinking and drugs wasn't cutting it anymore. Insomnia was impairing him and his thoughts were all too consuming. This inevitably led to a major panic attack which scared the living shit out of him, but opened the door to finding alternative solutions to what was going on inside.

His shift from where he was to where he is today reminds us that real and lasting change for the better is possible. It sure isn't easy but it's possible when you take responsibility and accountability for where you are, what you're prepared to do about it and where you'd prefer to be. The work he shares through writing, meditation and speaking pierces straight through your heart and is the medicine our souls longs for. The world is a better place with Manoj in it.

Redefining Masculinity

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 07:00:00 +1000

I met Tom Harkin, founder of Tomorrow Man, in 2019 at a facilitated event run by Lululemon. 150+ legends were there to hear Tom speak about masculinity, what it looks like today and what it could look like tomorrow. Tom took us through some powerful exercises that opened up my eyes which is why I've brought him on the podcast.

He struggled with his own masculinity growing up, wishing he could be like the traditional bloke that was sold to him as a kid. On the night he said he hates public speaking and still gets nervous, wondering why he puts himself through that. But it's obvious to see that this guy has a massive heart to help guys, blokes, dudes and little dudes to redefine what masculinity is through disrupting the traditional stereotype of what it means to be a man, build emotional muscle and talk with greater depth, and reinvent a more flexible version of tomorrow's man.

Struggletown

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 07:00:00 +1000

Been struggling. Between looking after Steve who’s been off his feet for two weeks, homeschooling, coaching, launching a rebrand and lockdown 4 restrictions, my energy has been going out with not a lot coming back in. Last week I cracked and burst into tears in the bathroom. I needed a release. After letting it out I realised I’d shifted into martyr mode and, “I can do this all by myself” mode. This is a default position of mine, proving I can do it alone. I could see myself becoming tough on the exterior, hear my harsh tones and feeling guilty for acting like a bitch. So I’m sharing my little shit-show, how I've (really) been and what I’m doing about it. Hope you're all doing okay out there!

Rescuing Kids From Child Sex Slavery

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 07:00:00 +1000

Millions of children around the world are trafficked or trapped in sexual exploitation with little hope for freedom. Within the first six months of being trafficked, the traffickers intention is to break the children - break their will, their choice and their freedom. I mean fk, can you imagine? The thought of this breaks my heart to say the very least and it's a matter I am dedicated to supporting and helping those committed to shutting down these operations. Today I speak with Paul Mergard from Destiny Rescue who has been helping free children in trafficking for over 20 years. Hearing what he has to say are really hard truths and realities not many of us have to think about. But knowing there are kids out there being forced to have sex with sometimes 20 plus men a night and forced to do it with a smile on their face is devastating which is why I am bringing this topic out of the dark and into our consciousness. One child said to Paul, "I have dreams too but they will never happen for me, so please don't let me dream".

Destiny Rescue's mission is to rescue, restore, empower and protect these children and shutdown these brothels. They have the man power standing by waiting to rescue but are busting for funds. It costs $1500 to rescue one child and $10,000 to do a full raid and shut the whole place down. We as a legendary community can begin these children's birth right to dream again, to dream something better for themselves.

The Professor Who Gave Me The Key To Change My Life

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 07:00:00 +1000

Professor Graeme Jackson is the man I met who changed the game of life for me. I walked into his office riddled with chronic pain, over life and desperate for a way out. He was unlike any doctor or healthcare professional I had met when it came to an outlook on chronic pain. He told me that if I really wanted to change and become pain free then it was up to me to take self-responsibility and put my power in healing this myself.

He is one heck of a human who took the time to sense into what I needed. He offered me the greatest gift of all time which was to take responsibility for my life, leading me to this path I now get to share with you.

Professor Graeme Jackson is a clinician researcher with primary interests in MR imaging technologies applied to the human brain and the neurobiology of epilepsy. He is a Neurologist at the Austin Hospital, Melbourne, Deputy Director of The Florey Institute of Neuroscience & Mental Health and co-leader of the Epilepsy research theme.

Lonely Lies

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 07:00:00 +1000

Feeling as though no one gets you, understands you or knows how you feel can feel very real. The mental stories tell you, "you're alone, no one cares about you and that no one is ever there for you", can also sound real. But more often than not, this isn't the truth. It's a warped version of reality that keeps you thinking and feeling isolated and disconnected.

I played this game for a long ass time, and still do but now know it's my pattern to keep others locked out of my heart so I don't have to open it up and fear getting hurt. In today's episode, I share what I did to get back in my heart and remember who stood by me, even though I was selling myself bullshit lies.

When You Feel Lost

Mon, 13 Jul 2020 07:00:00 +1000

I've felt lost many times in life and it was mostly due to putting my soul away somewhere I couldn't find it, all in the name of fitting in and being loved. Years of this people pleasing behaviour added up, eventually leading to realise, "who the hell am I and where have buried my true self?" I'd wandered so far from being my soul that the journey back felt impossible and uncomfortable, but what I know for sure is that when you realise you're lost, you can begin the process of finding yourself, again.

Focus On What Matters To Your Heart

Mon, 06 Jul 2020 07:00:00 +1000

It’s so inconvenient waking up! It’s a hell of a lot easier to go about life and be unaware of the shit that goes down. Last week, I bared my broken heart when I saw a sheep being treated as if it didn’t feel pain. My blood boiled and my fists clenched, then I sobbed. It hasn’t left my mind and I’ve been on @animalsaustralia site looking at ways to donate and contribute to taking action.

I give one hell of a fk about animals lives and how they are treated and the disconnect we have from how their lives have been, to fill our guts or wear. I will endeavour to use my voice more on matters of my heart to inspire you to reach inside your heart too, on matters worth taking action for. What broke in me has lit a fire inside to do that right thing. I’ll now turn my anger into change.

When it’s your last moments on this earthly plane, be sure to have a smile on your face and a full heart, because you focused on the shit that mattered.

Identity Crisis

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 07:00:00 +1000

Who am I without the pain? What's life like when I'm not suffering? What's it like to be deserving of the good life? I was so used to identifying with pain and suffering that when the time came to shift out of that belief system, I went through an identity crisis. I wasn't used to feeling good or being in control of my life. Wandering in unknown territory, slowly, slowly I began to dismantle entrenched limiting beliefs and began the practice of creating my life whilst dying to who I no longer was.

How To Converse With Kids About The Ego

Mon, 22 Jun 2020 07:00:00 +1000

My youngest step-daughter confides a lot in me and one day she was telling me about a daydream (when her mind wanders off and she thinks "bad" things). Her daydream had her believe that the guest speaker talking at the front of the class was bad, which led her to treat him differently and stay away from him. When she told me this I thought, "shit, how can I help her see the difference between false reality and actual reality?" That question created an idea to share about the "dark voice" and the "light voice" inside of us.

This idea has now become a framework for her to come back to when she's acting in ways that don't feel good or that impact others. It's a game-changer.

It's too easy right now to stay quiet for fear of getting it wrong. I am challenging myself to stay open, to show up and educate myself to serve the end result of normalising equality.

Giving Up Was Never An Option

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 07:00:00 +1000

I was waiting for my family to come over to celebrate my 12th birthday. My parents were quiet and seemed concerned. My family arrived late and it was less than a celebratory vibe. My brother had just been admitted to hospital for a skin condition that was taking over his body, and life. To be frank, it looked like someone had blowtorched his body, head to toe, leaving one a small ring of his natural skin around his eyes. It was fkd to say the least. After being told his condition was incurable, my brother went on one long ass journey, battling his own mind and the seemingly finite diagnosis from the medical profession. But that finite diagnosis wasn't good enough for him and never gave up on finding the solution he was after.

Here is his journey of overcoming what the medical profession deemed impossible.

One way is to ask empowering and re-orientating questions that take me out of egoic small talk and back into my true essence.

Sneaky Sneaky Ego

What a whirlwind the last 48 hours have been. Steve's ego took us all on one epic goose chase over the weekend. Out of the blue he had us booked in to look at housing inspections, telling the girls about these new places with more space, doing an ace job at selling us all on why we should move. But my intuitive spidey webs were going off and after letting him toe the line for some-time, I took him for a long walk at 9PM to share truth he really (really) needed to hear. Enjoy this one, as it is an honest share of how sneaky that darn ego is.

A client of mine has discovered the beauty of knowing herself after being in relationship after relationship. Another has realised she loves waking up and starting her day on terms after rushing around like a mad-woman to get to work. I've discovered being more adaptable when it comes to my home after being rigid and controlling.

Intuition on demand is a thing! It's easy to think you have to be in the "right mindset" or "mood" to be intuitive, however that's conditional thinking and often born out of the ego. Intuition when you want it and need it can be available to you, not just randomly or when you least expect it.

Take An Ego Minute, Then Get Back On Track

Mon, 20 Apr 2020 07:00:00 +1000

Since COVID-19 some of my coaching clients have fallen off the bandwagon of making daily choices, tuning into their higher wisdom and taking action to retrain their subconscious mind. Life turned upside down and with new ways of living, being and working came about and with that, they stopped the things that served them. It's normal and natural to take a minute to regroup and settle into new realities, but to ride that excuse for weeks and months is simply the ego taking over and creates lame excuses.

There can be delusion thinking when it comes to living your life purpose. Many of my clients who are starting out in their life purpose believe they should be rocking up to everything they do with a pump full of passion and excitement and feel bad when they don't.

Let's Keep Our Heads In Check During The Corona Virus Disruption

Mon, 16 Mar 2020 07:00:00 +1100

Right now our freedom to go out without second thought, shop with an abundance of food on our shelves, see our friends and fam, go to concerts, shows, travel, run businesses, etc is being disrupted. And I’m hearing noise that we’re fkd off about that!

Just remember that each of us have a part to play in slowing down this virus so it doesn’t overrun our healthcare system and medical professionals. Humans feel threatened when something is being taken away from us and right now it’s our freedom to do as we please and live our lives as normal. —But right now we could do with a tad more gratitude and reflect on all the times we had full shelves of food, to have the choice to do as we please, that business ran seamlessly to keep us fed, clothed and entertained.

We need to do our part to slow this fkr down whilst keeping the spirit of humanity alive by keeping our heads in check and focused on what matters, eg, keeping yourself and others safe through hygiene measures and distancing when required to help out our medical systems.

This shall pass but we all have our outer and inner work to do during this time.

Keep Your Emotions In Check

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 07:00:00 +1100

Yeowsa, this is good in theory but way more difficult to practice in the moment when you have emotional charge running through your veins, causing you to feel like sh!t, alone, disconnected or victimised by life. Throughout our days people, situations, conversations, etc are potential triggers that activate egoic stories and beliefs that warp reality. Once reality is warped, it's like you're under a spell and can't control your actions, behaviours or responses and risk saying something you don't mean, or pulling away and hiding from life. Developing emotional maturity begins in the mind, becoming superconscious of your unconscious programming when situations take place that are fairly neutral, but your ego feels attacked. In today's episode I share with you one of my simple yet powerful ego clearing processes to keep my emotions in check, which means I am the master of my actions, and therefore my reality.

Meditate, Mate

I'd be screwed without meditation. It is my go-to tool to pick up the imaginary phone and directly dial my higher self, for guidance and answers to serve me and my world. In the beginning I was scared to meditate, knowing I would get answers to help better me and my life. It meant I had the choice to change and advance beyond my bullsh!t, so my ego had me focusing on how boring it is, or how time wasting it is, or how sh!t I am at meditation (cheers ego). But with perseverance I developed a new relationship with it, and that was when I go inside, I get the answers I am seeking. And as a result I started to trust my inner voice, my intuition which grew self-trust, self confidence and the belief I can change the trajectory of my life, anytime.

In this episode I give you a taste of meditation. I hope you enjoy.

The ego wants to do things that are easy, that it knows how to do and looks for shinier objects to focus on which causes distraction. The distraction leads to not following through on your original intention and then you end up making lame excuses for why you didn't get the original thing done in the first place. Ugh, tiring right?

You Can Show Up, Not Be Okay And Still Be A Powerful Legend

Mon, 21 Oct 2019 07:00:00 +1100

I stand behind that being a true leader is to lead from the front. That you can show up, not be okay and still be a powerful fkn legend. I believe a true leader doesn’t just preach the, “it’s okay to not be okay” message, but instead embodies it and applies the tools to shift the shit.

Stop Trying To Change People

Mon, 14 Oct 2019 07:00:00 +1100

It's painful watching the people around you that you love suffer. You want to help them, cheer them on to victory and offer pumped up words in hope of inspiring change. But if you're doing this, nothing is changing and you're meeting resistance, here's what I suggest.

Hold Your Own

Mon, 07 Oct 2019 07:00:00 +1100

FOMO often got the better of me, which meant it took a while to stop habits like smoking, drugs, binge drinking, binge bitching, binge complaining and all the rest. My people pleasing desire to fit in and be part of the gang overrided my true desire to live life how I wanted to. I had to make peace with the fact that shifting to a new level of life involved growing pains and that my life wasn't about fitting in anymore.

Control Issues

Mon, 30 Sep 2019 07:00:00 +1000

I hate to admit it but yep, I do have control issues and it comes out in the form of wanting a perfect house with perfectly puffed pillows that are perfectly colour coordinated. Over the years I have made this matter more than what is truly important and it's been recently tested since becoming a step-mum. For anyone out there who knows what I'm talking about, you'll want to listen to this.

When You Show Up, Magic Happens

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 07:00:00 +1000

You can be anxious about your dreams and still fulfil them. You can be overwhelmed about your souls vision and still bring it to life. You can be scared about making changes that lead into the unknown and still take that step forward. Trying to fix the sh!t conditions before fulfilling your dreams only puts your dreams heartbeat on hold and keeps the unwanted condition alive.

Meet life heart on with all the shit and show up anyway.

How We Keep Our Relationship Fresh AF

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 07:00:00 +1000

Steve and I don't fight. We sure as hell see things differently (because he's always wrong and I'm always right, haha), and we absolutely have our moments where we want to yell, scream, shutdown and control the other - but we don't. We have committed to a relationship that has a certain energy, emotion and vibe and when we're off path, we do specific things so we remain connected, in our hearts and in love.

Fking Around In Indecision

Mon, 09 Sep 2019 07:00:00 +1000

Making powerful choices and decisions means you are a powerful person, and most of us have forgotten how powerful we truly are. I catch myself plenty of times pretending not to be powerful and it results in behaviours that are counterintuitive to where and what my heart truly longs to do. Awareness is always key to shift the sh!t but it isn't enough - you have to do something about.

Get Off The Sidelines Of Your Life

Mon, 02 Sep 2019 07:00:00 +1000

You contribute nothing to your life, others or the world when you sit on the sidelines and comment on all the things that would be great if they were different. For real change to take place you've got to stand up, rise up and walk down to the arena of life and overcome your fears of playing big. This is what I faced when becoming a step-mum.

When Overwhelm Is Killing Your Vibe

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 07:00:00 +1000

Overwhelm is a state your ego creates to act incapable, taking your focus away from the obvious next best step. When you're overwhelmed you feel lost, confused, blocked, stuck, stressed and all the fun things (not) which literally blocks you from knowing what your next best step is. But as always, when there is a will, there's a way.

Do Not Give Up On The Vision In Your Heart

Mon, 19 Aug 2019 07:00:00 +1000

The first meditation class I ever ran, one person showed up. The following week, no one showed up, and you should have heard the narrative that went on in my head. I was convinced I should give up on my business, pull the plug and never attempt to live my purpose, but instead turned to my heart for real guidance. It was then I understood what it meant to shift the plan WHILST holding the vision, and not give up.

Believing Horrible Thoughts To Be True (when they aren't)

Mon, 12 Aug 2019 07:00:00 +1000

I have demonic present to this day but they don't frighten me like they used to. In the past they frightened me because I believed every word that voice would say and it led me to feel down, flat and act in ways that weren't in line with my true self. This only made those thoughts seem more real and turn up the volume.

Destined To Be Alone Forever

Mon, 05 Aug 2019 07:00:00 +1000

I had a constant tug of war between my head and my heart. My heart wanted and knew I could love and be loved in return, but my little ego believed I was too messed up for anyone to love me. It was torture. And even though I wanted to be in love I was scared to let love in so I kept attracting men who weren't emotionally available which reinforced my belief that I'd be alone forever. A painful cycle that reached its end when I met Steve.

My Facade To The World

Mon, 29 Jul 2019 07:00:00 +1000

Pretending to have my sh!t together to the world had me falling into a heap when I'd shut the door in my one bedroom apartment. The fake-ness and inauthenticity was haunting me and I kept people at go-go-gadget's arms length so they couldn't see the real me. I would deflect conversations away from myself, defend my reasons for shutting people out and was defiant in many ways. But as always, something's gotta give and the loneliness I felt was too painful to bear.

I Don't Wake Up Happy

Mon, 22 Jul 2019 07:00:00 +1000

I set a cruel intention seven years ago that I had to wake up happy and be happy all day in order to be a good spiritual person and a coach. Ugh, I know! This intention was a wasted chase of striving for perfection for six months, inevitably leading to stress, being down on myself and losing faith on the path I was walking. Lucky I caught myself out!

Be Responsible For Your Sh!t

Mon, 15 Jul 2019 07:00:00 +1000

I experienced sexual abuse at the age of six and it was one of, if not the most uncomfortable experiences of my life. For nearing two decades after the abuse, I was ruled by a limiting belief system that I had created that deemed me worthless, un-loveable and that no-one, especially males, don't support or love me. These limiting beliefs created one hell of a life that I wanted to escape from, but discovered how hard it was to escape those demons in my head. I saw no other option than to face them and free myself.

The ZEROFKS Life

Mon, 08 Jul 2019 07:00:00 +1000

The amount of fks I gave about so many things that in truth, really didn't matter, blows my mind. I was holding myself back from being and doing "me" because I preferred to be liked, accepted and keep the peace. After a relationship breakup and countless dates that ended as quickly as they begun, I was left looking in the mirror at a version of myself I didn't really like and needed to make a choice to keep up with my facade, or start facing the truth. This is when the zero fks life came to life.

Pain To Power

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 07:00:00 +1000

In 2010 I was ready to check out of my life. I was overweight, depressed, an absolute drainer to be around, riddled with chronic pain and addicted to high-dose pain killers. It's fair to say I wasn't the picture of health and happiness I am today. I blamed the world for how I was and could barely look at myself in the mirror. In this episode, I share what it took to get out of my darkness and into my light, what I call from pain to power.
