From hyper achiever to being at ease

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/02/16

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 cycl...

Kat & Steve: Our path back to love

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/02/09

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 da...

When your truth won’t stay quiet

2025/02/02

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 exh...

2025/01/26

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...

When did you last feel enough, as you are?

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/01/19

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....

Kat & Steve - Fighting over (literally) nothing

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2025/01/12

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 magic...

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...

Kat & Steve - Our end of year process

2024/12/22

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. ...

A welcomed abundance in 2024

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2024/12/15

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, p...

Kat & Steve - The dating game

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2024/12/09

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 connecti...

*UPDATE* - Perimenopause journey

2024/12/01

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 ...

Kat & Steve - Navigating blended families

2024/11/24

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 aga...

Repairing the recent rupture with my bonus daughter

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2024/11/17

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 inaut...

Kat & Steve - Why we sleep separately

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2024/11/10

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...

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

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2024/11/03

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...

Promises worth making and keeping

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2024/10/27

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 pr...

Moving to the different rhythms of life

REAL, RAW, RELATABLE ·

2024/10/20

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

Kat & Steve - Remembering what matters

2024/10/13

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 a...

A real life update

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 h...
