LIVE COACHING SERIES - When Can I Be Me? With My Legend, Eve
When Eve and I jumped on this coaching call, to hear that her belief system said that there were only two options for how she could operate in the world, and that to get someone to love her were, "don't be too much or make sure you're enough", hurt my heart. In today's episode, we uncover where this belief came from, how this has impacted Eve's life up until today in relationships and how she shows up, and how life could be moving forward if she allowed herself to be who she is, rather than constantly adapting and abandoning herself.Eve, I am so damn proud of you for being so real and raw in this episode. Amen to you!**If you want to trust yourself more, make powerful choices in your life and back them, and become more of who you truly are then hit me up in my DMs about The Legends.

Inconvenient Truths
We've all had those moments where an inconvenient truth lands in your lap. It's the, "it's time to slow down and enjoy your life", "this relationship doesn't serve you", "you are settling for less than you're worth", "your health will be at risk if something doesn't give". Deep down you know it's true, but you also know it'll rearrange you. When truth comes in, resistance comes next . What you do next is completely within your hands. You're gifted with the opportunity to do the hard work, or, live a hard life.Today's episode will have you take the time to listen to the truths you've been "too busy" to make time for and give you the chance to make space for change.katjohn.com.aukat.johnSupport the show

How Not To Give Up On Your Ideas When Sh!t Gets Hard
When you have a wicked idea and it feels true, a rock block can be very fricken annoying. Some road blocks are small whilst others are harder to move through. When I first had the idea to create a meditation app, I knew I'd meet some block along the way, but this one tested my commitment to the end result. Many times I doubted the app and if I could trust my intuition on this one. I needed to become extra resourceful to bring this one into reality and meet a lot of my egoic limiting beliefs. In today's episode I share with you how I move through road blocks, the tools I use to keep me connected to the end result and what to expect from your ego when shit gets hard.kat.johnkatjohn.com.auSupport the show

What Are You Avoiding?
I meet resistance frequently, and these days I welcome it.It comes right after I’ve realised something that’ll help me grow or when I get an answer to act upon. It says, “nahhhhhhhh, let’s not do that for A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z reasons Kat!”Back in the day I’d hate myself for having resistance, thinking that I’m shit or not evolved enough yet to not experience it (thanks ego).So now I let resistance have its place and allow my ego to chuck a tanty. Maybe it’s a day, three days or a week. But I have a time limit on it, and after a period of conscious resistance, I take the reigns and take the action.It’s a new way of handling resistance and I really like it. I’m keen to hear how currently manage resistance. Or if you’d like some guidance on this, DM me. kat.johnkatjohn.com.auSupport the show

The Power Of "The Work"
A client of mine finished up coaching recently and she said in our last session, "Kat, I don't know how to be my old self anymore - it feels unnatural!" BOOM! In the beginning, her false self felt normal, to the point where she thought it was her. But overtime she distanced herself from this false belief. She created space between thoughts and slowly began to free herself. This is the power of the work!Is it hard? Yes. Is it unnatural in the beginning? Yes. Are there times you lose the battle to the old self? Yes. But eventually, with enough commitment and dedication, you make the shift.katjohn.com.au@kat.johnWanna coach with me?

Listen To Your Inner Child
I owe a massive s/o to my inner child for being the creative spark behind all I do. Meet little Neng (Filipino nickname), my kickass inner child who I shut out and hid away for too long, for fear of being rejected and not liked because I thought it’d be easier to be rejected for someone I’m pretending to be. I altered who I was to fit in, please others and sacrificed my soul for things I knew I didn’t want to say yes to, but did, which took me to a place of losing who I was and veering away from my true north. I keep her real close to me these days as she helps me lighten up, follow my bliss and do more of what lights me up!katjohn.com.aukat.johnSupport the show

When You Fear Letting Go Of The Old You
I was afraid to get better. And when I say "I", I mean my ego. I thought if I got better, no one would care about me anymore. No one would ask me how I am or think about me. That if I was well people would get on with their lives and I'd be left on my own. Sounds fkd up, and it is, however I appreciate the ways of the ego and the lengths it'll go to, to keep me in a box of, "this is just the way life is!"So when Professor Jackson, my Neurologist said to me, "you can be pain free if you choose to really put your mind and actions towards it", my ego felt threatened. And it felt threatened because he spoke to something in me that said, "YES, he's right!" His words woke up a dormant power inside that would eventually give life to self responsibility, freedom and choice.My ego reminded me of all the times I tried to get out of pain with no successful outcome, telling me, "there's no use, no point, it won't work, what does this guy know?" I now know it was trying to protect me from being powerful, which would then lead me to being well, free and happy. It was time for me to let go of getting love from something being wrong with me and choose to receive love just as I am. That no particular state would make me more loveable or gain more attention.Letting go of ego stories and reframing can be a hard slog as all my coaching clients will know too well. But fk, it's worth it.katjohn.com.aukat.johnSupport the show

Moving Through Resistance
There is so much magic around us and within us to experience, and for those who dare to open and play with this magic will know just how special it is. When it comes to my coaching clients, some are super open to It - intuition, energy, signs, spirit, whatever you want to call 'It'. Then there are some clients who are logical thinkers, who know something is out there but are more afraid to welcome it into their lives. Their ego's spook them, telling them, "it's not safe", and so they rely on logic and what they know cognitively to guide them through life.I tell them, "if want something more, deeper and soulful for yourself, you have to be willing to trust a new way forward". They agree.If you are in this same position then today's episode will be great for you.katjohn.com.aukat.johnSupport the show
