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 energ…
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…
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 off…
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 t…
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 w…
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…

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…
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 enri…
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…
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…
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 …

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 ste…
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…
