REAL, RAW, RELATABLE

My boxing coach, Roger and Tania from Fit2Box, threw me into the ring and my ego shat itself. I've been happy training on the pads, on the bags and in the ring with them doing drills. So when they said, "hey, jump in the ring with Mikayla" (who by the way is a boxing beast and has been training for one year), all my shit came up!"No I'm not ready! I'll look like a dick in front of her and them. I'm amateur and will make a fool of myself", plus SO MUCH MORE. These barrage of thoughts came in hot and strong within seconds and I was thinking how the fuck to get out of it. Instead, I chose to focus on learning and growing from this and steer my fks away from the thoughts in my head.Today's episode is a goodie if your head and limiting stories are currently messing with you, and stopping you from trying something new. LINKSWhere to find me ...Are you ready to do the work with me?

When people say, "just be yourself", that can be uber confusing to decide which "self" to be.There's a self in all of us that has an agenda and guideline for how you HAVE to be in order to be loved, accepted, valued or the most powerful. This is the self that you'll put forward on dates, job interviews, around friends or new people without even thinking. It's an automatic patterned response directed from your ego to act and behave in a certain way to get an unmet need validated. Then there is another Self. This part of you has no agenda - it only wants what's best for your deepest and highest good. This Self watches, observes and notices how you think, act and behave and asks, "does this feel true to you?" It's the Self that is here to help you be You without the need to impress, adapt yourself, be a chameleon, be the class clown, be the most powerful. It has no agenda. Today's episode is a goodie to buckle up and listen in. Lemme know your takeaways. LINKSWhere to find me ...Are you ready to do the work with me?

In the last two years I have leaned in on knowing how I act, behave, think and feel pre period, during period and post period. Prior to that, I just thought I was nuts and coo-coo and tried to push through however I was feeling. These days, my body ain't having it.I've learned about the four phases of menstruation - summer, autumn, winter and spring. I've listened more to what my body needs and what's going on, noticing when I have more energy, creative juices, low vibes and nothing to give. It's been really cool to honour this layer of being a woman.In today's episode I share what I'm like during the different phases and let you in on the weird and wonderful behaviours I get up to. It feels nice not to suppress how I am for how I think I have to be. Support the show

These seven words keep me very grounded. Whenever I feel the need to live up to societal timelines of getting married, having a baby or getting my eggs frozen because I'm now considered geriatric in the fertility world, I remind myself of these seven words.Whenever I am looking left and right at what others are doing in my industry and I start telling myself stories that I'm a loser, that I need to hustle more and that I'm going to lose it all if I don't hurry up, I remind myself of these seven words.Today's episode encourages you to take a look at where you are hurrying up your life based on external expectations or if they're coming from your pressure based thoughts.

I love my alone time — it’s where the introvert in me thrives and I love the silence.I can hear my inner voice clearly, the quiet space is freeing and it’s where some of my biggest chats with my higher self takes place.I do need to manage this part of me because I can shift into shutting people out and not needing to see anyone. There’s a part of me that’s very happy on my own however I now know that can turn into a dysfunctional pattern of behaviour to lock off my heart and keep people out.Previously I did this mega unconsciously and didn’t even realise how far I’d pushed the “alone time”. Back then it was a defence mechanism to not let people see my flaws, the not so pretty side or that I wasn’t coping with life.But now I can sense when it’s healthy space or if I’m closing up. I’ve learned to honour and communicate when I need it and to stay open when I want to close off.Knowing yourself, your edges, dysfunctional patterns and getting to know more of your true self is one of, and if not the most important thing to discover in this life.When you know more of who you’re not and live more into who you are, that’s living authentically to you. No one else’s views or opinions of how you should be living matter as much because you know what’s true for you.LINKSWhere to find me ...Are you ready to do the work with me?

I am smack bang in the middle of my self initiated growth shit storm. My ego is throwing up MAJOR resistance to listening to my Truth and I'm in all sorts. Self doubt is alive! Second guessing my Truth is alive! Hanging onto the things I have always been done is alive! The chaos feels real!This is the mess that comes right after you've summoned the Universe and asked for change, growth, and new ways of thinking, doing and being in certain areas of your life. The Universe hears your call or reads your note, delivers you a message or opportunity to change and off you go and make that change. And then, your ego gets in on the action and starts getting in your head, questioning what you've just done. It's the perfect shit storm of anxiety, overwhelm, self doubt and resistance.Time and time again, this phase comes with growth. It's normal, it's natural and it sucks ass. If you're in the same boat, have a listen to today's episode to help normalise this part of growth.LINKSWhere to find me ...Are you ready to do the work with me?

It has been the LONGEST journey to like my body. For as long as I've been inside my body, I have punished it in many ways. From over training, under eating, restricting food then binge eating then throwing it up, to drugs, alcohol and allowing myself to have sex with people I didn't want to.Over the last two years I have been healing my relationship with my body through actually nourishing it with good foods, cooking at home, eating good carbs, protein and fats and training less than I have. As a result, it's the best I've felt in my body and that's a big thing for me to say out loud!Listen to today's episode as I share with you what I've done to get here and the mental shift that took place to take my focus off how I looked, and rather on how I want to feel.Lemme know your takeaways and feedback.LINKSWhere to find me ...Are you ready to do the work with me?

Covid put me on my butt big time! What started out as hay-fever symptoms, it quickly turned into below zero energy, a non-stop headache, loss of taste and smell and reduced lung capacity. But what knocked me for a six was the zip-a-dee-doo-da energy levels and not having anything to give expect for going to the toilet, eating food, watching Sex And The City reruns and moving from the couch, to bed. My ego was really challenged during the 8 days of intense symptoms. No energy to cook, clean, sweep the floors, fluff the cushions, straighten the rug, pick up tiny granules of dirt that no-one else can see but me, and more! Plus, no energy to meditate, journal and make plans for the new year. I felt like the biggest blob and sloth who had nothing to offer or give, and that taught me something.Have a listen to today's episode and lemme know your takeaways.Love Kat @kat.johnwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

I am a Judgey Mc Judge. I used to think it was wrong and bad to judge others and have  thoughts in my head like, "why are they wearing that? Why is she with him? Why do you talk that way? OMG can you chew any louder?" Over time I have come to accept and normalise judgement. I was done with pretending I don't judge, when I do! I got sick of the shame I felt and wondered if trying to rid judging was the best path, or if it's something to accept as being human. When it comes to judging others, I believe what matters is what we do, what we say or don't say, or how we act after the judgey thoughts have entered our minds. Have a listen to today's episode and lemme know what your take on this.Love, Kat xwww.katjohn.com.au@kat.johnSupport the show

Never will I support or encourage the use of face altering filters. Do you know how long it’s taken me to love and accept my goddamn face?From hating the shape of my eyes due to being called a “chink” in primary school, to being called a “round moon head”, to my skin and all its acne and being dumped for someone else who didn’t have pimples, AND MORE!It’s been a long ass journey for me, and I’m sure for you too. So to be in a culture that has this so readily available to us all, AND CHILDREN is not okay.I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you are a person of influence on here, stop using it and lead from the front when it comes to self love, confidence and acceptance.Support the show
