Authentic

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...

Oki doki, you've set a word or theme for the new year and that's ace. But have you got a plan to integrate and embody that theme into areas of your life? If your word is LET GO - how will you be in the practice of letting go day to day, moment to moment and make the concept a reality?  Listen to today's episode for a coaching process I share to help you out.  Website: katjohn.com.au...

Alrighty, it's the last episode of the year and jeepers creepers it's been a year that has tested all of us in different ways. There's been some epic lessons that have knocked on my door that I've chosen to learn from and continue to evolve this little human self of mine. I'm a firm believer of reflecting regularly and not waiting until the end of year to do a major reflec...

I love this human so damn much! Nicole Hahn is a fellow lululemon ambassador which is where we met just over a year ago. Uber recently she was part of a lululemon shorts campaign which brought up a lot of my bullshit stories and shame around my legs. I have always told myself, "I'm not a shorts gal", when in truth, I was too afraid to wear them for the fear of being judged. Her voic...

Back in 2017 I went to a Vipassana 10 day meditation course. For some months before booking myself in I was intrigued and called to partake in this experience, but my mind was afraid to do it. I doubted that I could endure not speaking, looking at anyone, writing and expressing myself. In truth, I was afraid to be with my own mind without distraction. But alas, the call to go was too strong and of...

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, "tha...

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...

I am in the process of healing my body from sexual abuse trauma. My mind is like, "are you for real dud? You've done a fk tonne of work on this matter and mentally feel really good about it!", however, my body needs some attention and healing.  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...

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...

There's cool shit in your life that you want to go for and experience. It can be living in a new state or city, starting your own business, changing industries, leaving your job to travel, or whatever. But there's a little voice inside your head making up an excuse that says, "what will others think? I can't do that, they'll laugh at me!" That other can be your parent...

Calling all energy (over) givers, this one is for you. I'm a sucker for over giving when I listen to my ego. It gets off on being needed and wanted, yet feels resentful towards others and scolds me for when I reach burnout and am forced to take time out. The days are gone of good old solid burnout but I can still over give to a point where I notice my behaviour change (not for the good). In t...

There are many times a day, or week, where I feel the weight of the world and all its problems. When I feel it I feel sad, overwhelmed, angry and hopeless. I feel like a small ant that has no power to make a difference and think there's no point trying. However, I don't stay there too long, in fact, I can't. The anxiety is too much to bare so I choose to channel my fks where they ma...

Meet my mate Pete, a qualified Transpersonal Psychotherapist, Mental Health teacher and Counsellor at Elk & Me Therapies and Dispensary. He's a rock solid human being who I've had the privilege of working alongside back in the day, have experienced his work as a client and someone I get to call my friend. He's worked in the mental health sector and the Healing Arts for over 15 y...

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 dis...

Emily Osmond and I have shit tonne in common when it comes to creating a business and learning the sucky (but necessary) hard lessons along the way. Em quit her job to go full time in her business when she was 26 years old, with a mortgage to pay and no business plan (sounds like me legend). She knew her job wasn’t making her happy and believed she could create something of her own. After what she...

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 thi...

Prior to being told I was wearing my mask wrong and that, "it doesn't work unless it's above your nose", I was in a really flat, emotional and anxious state. I walked out of my home for some fresh air, to enjoy the sun and clear my head. I've been struggling with my the changes in our home of becoming an almost full-time step-parent, homeschooling for what seems like forev...

If only upgrading our lives was as easy as pressing new software update on our iPhones. We'd all be pressing that button right before bed, effortlessly being upgraded without needing to do any work. 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 thin...

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 w...

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 coul...

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. Th...

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 supp...

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 m...

This woman has had one hell of a life! She grew up with a mum with bipolar, didn't know who or where her dad was, landed in and out of foster homes when her mum got sick, was sexually abused, her first husband died and that's not even all of it! Hearing this you'd think, fk, surely she's messed up and in struggle down, but it's the absolute opposite. Erika Cramer, aka, The...

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 th...
