REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/07/06

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 ho...

Laying her to rest - the one that chased significance

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/06/29

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 ve...

2025/06/22

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 le...

Perception vs Reality — What You Think You See

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/06/15

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 ma...

Kat & Steve - Being on the same team as parents

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/06/08

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 termsHow we handle disagreements behind the scenes so we can show up united in front of the girlsWhy we believe alignment matters more than always being in agreementHow ...

Take the painfully simple steps

2025/06/01

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...

Kat & Steve - Our own wheels of life

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/05/25

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...

Make peace with all the women you once were

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/05/18

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 th...

Kat & Steve - Micro-moments of disconnection

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/05/11

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...

My wheel of life reality check

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/05/04

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 somet...

Kat & Steve - The conversations you're not having

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/04/27

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 someon...

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

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/04/20

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 nur...

2025/04/13

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 ...

The afternoon of life

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/04/06

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...

Kat & Steve - The reality check we needed

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/03/30

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 massiv...

What's your relationship with patience?

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/03/23

I’m in a season of patience right now. 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 t...

The Dance Between Faith & Action

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/03/16

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...

The work never ends

2025/03/09

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 untangli...

From head to heart

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/03/02

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 wo...

At fifty she finally started to live

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, b...
