The Play Project

This week we are YAPPING and the yap is all about actually implementing your goals into your weekly calendar when you're navigating a season of chaos. You want to make things happen for yourself. You have big plans, you have small plans. You have little changes, and lifestyle adjustments, and you simply want more space. To breathe, to think, to be. To do the things you feel like you were put o...

We're also yapping how to make routines happen when you're very time poor, w...

Welcome to a new era for the podcast: The Play Project. Oooooooo. Same Kat, same anti-hustle productivity brain… but with way more focus on fun, aliveness and feeling like a human again, not just a heavily time-blocked walking to-do list. This is the podcast for one-woman shows juggling business and family that isn't about becoming That Girl™. This poddy is about remembering what you like, wha...

If your days feel like: decent sleep, decent intentions… and a brain that still won’t boot properly - sames. In this week's episode, I talk through what’s been helping me feel sharper and calmer, so I can do meaningful work in the few focused hours I do have (I've cut this down to 3) and still feel like me. Disclaimer: This episode will NOT teach you how to manage your time. If you’ve been...

If you've ever thought: “My calendar says I’m doing everything right… so why do I still feel exhausted?” This episode is for you. (Baby, I'm baaaack) So you’ve ditched the 5am alarms, found your boundaries, lit your candle - but you're still oh, so very tired. Same. After another round of burnout (and a side of glandular fever to top it off), I finally realised something about the way...

This week we’re talking about overthinking (hi, it’s me). If you’ve been calling it “procrastination” but your brain feels like a browser with 57 tabs open... it's probably actually overthinking. And it's costing you. In this episode, we get into: five sneaky signs you’re overthinking without realising (including the one that looks like “being productive”) why millennial women are uniquely...

Welcome to the very first episode of Tuesday 10! Every Tuesday I’ll be sharing a short + practical episode (under 10 minutes… okay, sometimes 12 😅) sharing one practical thing that’s actually worked for me as a solo business owner to reduce mental load, shift my mindset, or just make life a little bit easier. This week I'm sharing 5 things I did over the last two weeks to consistently create...

Here for the IG reel-novella “I started a biz and now I work 4 hours a week from a sun-drenched balcony” story? Well, this is the other story. The one where a hypothetical mum of two (okay, fine, it’s me) left her corporate hellmouth thinking it would be easier, discovered it was… not, and spent three years trying to make maths, meaning, and motherhood all play nicely together. This episode does n...

Okay, so this one has strong voice note energy because I recorded it after one of those mornings (1am wakeup, coughing kids, feelings galore, cold coffee - I mean, what a vibe). And fittingly, in today’s episode, we’re talking about what happens when you STOP trying to be more disciplined… and start asking: “Who does she think she is?” We’re talking big goals, weird productivity pressure, women do...

This week's episode looks a little different, love. I'm going full voice note - reading out my latest Substack essay, plus sharing some off-the-cuff reflections you won’t find in the written version. Today we're talking about why standard productivity hacks leave us exhausted, overwhelmed, and still miles from the version of life we actually want. If you've moved from corporate to cafe and you're...

Okay, so last week I told you why the 10-week year might be the framework you didn't know you needed when it comes to finally getting that big thing on your list done. This week? I'm telling you how to use it to bring your big goals to life. Forget 12 months. What if it only took 10 weeks? If you’ve been craving a clear (realistic, mum-friendly, actually-sustainable) framework to bring you...

Ever look at that same big goal that’s been on your list since 2019 and think, “Why can’t I just DO the thing?” Sames. In this episode, we're looking at why that might not be a you problem – and why it’s definitely a timeline problem. I walk you through: ✨ Why the traditional year-long goal setting process is secretly sabotaging your motivation ✨ Why your brain is actually wired to lose stea...

Yes, you're right. You can’t concentrate like you used to. And it’s not because you’re lazy, or inherently flawed, or because you need a colour-coded planner. But it could be your dopamine. In this week's episode, I'm breaking down: What dopamine actually does for your brain (hint: it’s not just about feeling good) Why your phone is draining your brain juice Why your morning scroll tanks your abil...

Welcome to the very first episode of my new podcast series: Unsolicited Productivity Advice You Didn’t Ask For — aka me sliding (ew) uninvited into your ears with chaotic voice note energy and helpful strategies for navigating the season of life you’re in.

Every few months over the last few years, I would go through the same cycle: - Look at the goals I set at the start of the year. - Sigh dramatically. - Contemplate setting everything on fire. -Maybe Google flights to Italy. Because when things feel stuck, the internet will tell you the answer is a big change. Quit your job! Burn your business model down! Move to a tiny European village where you s...

This week, I'm in a bit of a pickle. This episode is all about why I’m kinda over traditional productivity hacks - because let’s be honest - we just don’t need another system to squeeze more out of ourselves. What we do need aka crave? A brain that actually gets a second to breathe. In this episode, I’m sharing seven tiny things I’ve been doing lately that have nothing to do with productivity (but...
