REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

I've recently returned from Alice Springs after hiking the Larapinta Trail. It's safe to say that this time away cracked me open and fuelled my wild heart.The transition from civilised living to camping in swags under billions of stars, in the middle of nowhere and on the red dirt, was far easier than I thought. In fact, I loved it! Eating around the campfire, sharing stories with the women and living basic, revealed to me how beautiful life is and the magic that is right "there" when distractions no longer distract.In today's episode I share with you the change I feel making its way into my bones, the blessings I've taken away so far and that I loved being outside of my comfort zone.

Steve and I were driving to my friends wedding and we had the dumbest disagreement. Our defences were at play and we were going nowhere, fast! Beneath the bullshit, the disagreement was really  about Steve feeling unsupported by me, and I felt I was being controlled by him. On the surface we had our swords, shields and armoured suits on, both spitting fire and thinking we're both right. But underneath the stupidity of our disagreement, our old wounds were fuelling the sword fight. Once we acknowledged what it was really about, we could stop with the tit for tat, get to the bottom of it and move on.

We all do a pretty good job of hiding some amazing parts of ourselves. We can hide our self expression for fear of looking foolish. We can hide our values and what we stand for, for fear of being rejected. We can hide our dreams for fear they'll never come true.Whatever we hide has a story behind it. A story that has power over the next layer of authentic expression finding its way out of you and into the world, unless you choose to call BS on the story.NEXT LIVE EVENTSunday Meds - MelbourneGet your tickets - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/sunday-meds-in-real-life-tickets-315892431767COACHING PROGRAMSReal & Raw - Journey into The Self through the 7-chakra system.Begins June 8th, 2022 - https://katjohn.com.au/real-and-raw/The Legends - Powerfully manage your head, so you can live through your heart and focus on what matters.Begins June 21st, 2022 - https://katjohn.com.au/the-legends/Follow me on instahttps://www.instagram.com/kat.john/Support the show

I'm a big fan of asking the deep self enquiry questions that open us up to receiving the answers we need to hear. Yes, those answers can be uncomfortable as they have the potential to rearrange our lives, but they often bring us closer to living a life that feels true and aligned. These three simple yet powerful questions are ones to use in all areas of your life. They'll help you maintain an ace life if all is well, and redirect back to your truth when you've veered off path.

I've been watching Steve make a shift since February this year. As he's shifting, I've noticed he's more soft, present, patient and quiet. He has more time for his daughters, enjoys spending time with them. He's journalling, making more space in his life for those who matter, and less time for those who bring drama. As I watch him shift, I am falling more deeply in love with him. The fact that he chooses to grow, evolve and look inward is something I found incredibly sexy and inspiring about him. In today's episode I ask Steve to share with us what brought him to this shift, how he's going through it and what lessons he's been collecting along the way.

Always one to trust her intuition, after 20 years Tory Archbold knew that it was time to start a new chapter. Her ah-ha moment came after she launched 3 of America’s most powerful brands into Australia. At a sold-out launch event for Drew Barrymore’s brand Flower Beauty organised by Tory, Drew shared with the crowd about how she survived tough times. Watching, Tory thought, ‘lady, I see you and raise you five. You know what, I’m done.’Shutting the doors to her agency in 2019, Tory launched Powerful Steps, an online community and platform for women making global impact. Amongst her career change, Tory was also undergoing her own inner transformation; to show up on the outside as she was on the inside. Authentic living was calling her to show more of herself, and in today's episode we go into those juicy nooks to hear her gold. COACHING PROGRAMSReal & Raw - Journey into The Self through the 7-chakra system.Begins June 8th, 2022 - https://katjohn.com.au/real-and-raw/The Legends - Powerfully manage your head, so you can live through your heart and focus on what matters.Begins June 21st, 2022 - https://katjohn.com.au/the-legends/Follow me on instahttps://www.instagram.com/kat.john/Support the show

For many years I have used cleaning and having a clean (well, perfect looking) space as a way to feel in control, safe and that everything was okay (for a brief moment).Obsessive compulsive tendencies have been running through my veins since a teen, not knowing what the heck to do with large emotions and the impending feeling of needing to make sure that I was constantly in control and okay.  I started asking myself, "what else could or would I be doing if I wasn't sweeping the floor? What happened right before I decided to walk into the laundry, get the sweeper and start sweeping? What was I thinking about? Where was I feeling out of control or unsafe that has led me to sweep to feel fleetingly in control?" These questions led to greater awareness of what was going on beneath the surface and gave me clues to piece together. They also led to answers to begin making changes that served me and my life, and not a clean floor. Now, I sweep once a week, maybe twice and I have less charge and angst if a crumb is on the floor (winning). May sound strange, but this easing off has meant my fks can go towards far more fulfilling things.

What is your ego preventing you from experiencing, expressing, sharing, doing or being? This is the question I posed at my recent Sunday Meds In Real Life event. Is it preventing you from speaking your truth for fear you won't be taken seriously? Is it preventing you from experiencing real and deep love for fear you'll get hurt?Is it preventing you from standing up for what you believe in for fear you'll lose people in your life? These are the deep questions to ask yourself ...

My step daughter asked her PE teacher if she'd consider me coming in to run a dance and meditation class, to which she said yes! So last week I ran two classes and watched these girls freely express themselves, dance, sing, jump around, do the worm, do flips and cartwheels, chase each other around and laugh and be silly. Even the PE teacher got on board! My message to the girls was this. There are plenty of things in life we care about that matter, and that don't, and this can steal a lot of our attention. And, as we get older, more responsibilities are expected of us which can feel like there's a lot of pressure being human. Never forget to come back to these practices of having fun, freely expressing yourself and being in touch with you inner kid, because that's what helps us through what can be a boring and rigid life.Do you let yourself freely express yourself? Are you stuck in a rigid routine? Have you lost your spark?

Something magical happened after Monday's episode. My step daughters wrote me a note saying that they want to officially adopt me as their step mum (insert tears).I came home Wednesday night and Steve and the girls were in a funny mood. Little did I know that the three of them had chatted over dinner about me. Steve said, "Kat is choosing not to have children of her own. She's also choosing to take care of you two and guide you for the rest of hers and your life!" As a result of this conversation, the girls said, "let's let her know that we choose to take care of her for the rest of her life and adopt her". I go more into this in the episode. But can I tell you how much my ego's stories are being busted left, right and centre. I have all this love around me that I've been protecting myself from. Not anymore, I'm cracked wide open. LIVE EVENTS COMING UP!Sunday April 3rd 2022 - Sunday Meds IN REAL LIFE Melbournehttps://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/sunday-meds-in-real-life-tickets-275462424527Real & Rawhttps://katjohn.com.au/real-and-raw/The Legendshttps://katjohn.com.au/the-legends/Follow me on insta:https://www.instagram.com/kat.john/Support the show
