  • Take the painfully simple steps

    Take the painfully simple steps

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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 notThe 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 purposeHow 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

    Make peace with all the women you once were

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    Kat & Steve - Micro-moments of disconnection

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    My wheel of life reality check

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    Kat & Steve - The conversations you're not having

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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?

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

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

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    Kat & Steve - Holding space for the one you love

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    The afternoon of life

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    Kat & Steve - The reality check we needed

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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.

  • What's your relationship with patience?

    What's your relationship with patience?

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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 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

    The Dance Between Faith & Action

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    The work never ends

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    From head to heart

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    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, 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

    From hyper achiever to being at ease

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    Kat & Steve: Our path back to love

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

    When your truth won’t stay quiet

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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

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

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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?

    When did you last feel enough, as you are?

    · REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

    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.
