Holding Yourself Tenderly

It's been one week since the life awakening moment with the man on the beach. A week of managing my body and mind's response. I've been doing some reading about the normal and natural responses after delivering CPR and it's been a nice reminder that how I've been feeling is indeed, normal. I've been doing nothing, so the doing can be done. Rest has been my best friend. Sleep has been my companion. Laying in the sun has been my healer. Talking to trusted friends and peers has been my warm blanket. Space, quiet and time has been my medicine. To be able to honour the body by listening to it and tending to it, and not give power to the thoughts that say, "get up you lazy woman, get on with it, you're weak", has been the greatest gift of all. There is so much magic in the simplest remedies. UPCOMING EVENTSZEROFKS Dance Party - 22nd August, Melbourne, Australia.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & Really Being There

**This episode speaks of an incident that includes the medical intervention of CPR. Please be mindful when listening and check-in with yourself if you feel okay to listen / read on. I've spoken many times about being a believer of the right time, right place, right person and having deep respect and trust for this way of life. Last week, all the right things led to being in the right place at the right time to help save a man's life. After a poor sleep the night before, I cancelled the gym and chose to listen to my body and rest. Steve woke up and was about to take the dogs for a walk and I said, "give me 15 minutes of shut eye and I'll come!" When we walked out the door, Steve suggested to walk the canal due to being time poor and I said, "nah, let's do the beach, we'll make it home in time." All those little happenings that we were open to allowed for us to be on the beach. As we walked back home, Steve noticed a man on the path, surrounded by incredible humans who were doing all they could to save his life. I ran over to see what was going on and as an ex nurse, could see quickly that this could go either way really quickly. I relieved the woman who was giving CPR, all of us saying to him, "come on mate, come on buddy, stay with us, stay with us." Then, he took a breath. Since recording the episode, I have spoken to his wife on the phone, a moment I'll never forget. He is alive, well, walking and hopefully heading home soon. My respect and trust in listening to our inner voice that leads us to the right time, right place, right person has only deepened more. Still processing this one.  With regards to this episode and relationships, I couldn't thank Steve more if I tried for holding space for immediately after this experience and in the days following. Support the show

Trusting In The Work You’ve Done On Yourself

There comes a time where the solo work we do to unravel, peel and strip back our lives, patterns and thinking comes to a natural end. A time where we are called to come out of our sacred cocoon and ‘play’ with life and others with our new found perspective and next layer of authentic self intact.Your ego can resist this, pushing life and others away which stems from a lack of trust in who you are. It’ll sell you stories that you might “lose yourself again” and keep up an invisible wall, blocking out love, opportunities and the chance to test your new found self in the world.After years of pleasing everyone but myself, I journeyed hard into coming back to myself. I too feared letting people in because, “what if I stop meditating? What if I stop working out? What if I lose connection to spirit?” This way of thinking kept me isolated way longer than necessary and it all came down to not trusting that I had myself.This resistance is a normal response, one to acknowledge, sit with and respect. But also one to not let fool you into not believing that you can indeed have love with another AND honour yourself.UPCOMING EVENTSSunday Meds -  30th July, Melbourne, Australia.

The Egos Lines of Defence

I was speaking to a client the other day in a one-to-one session. She shared with me her writings from a meditation that had her access her heart and what she longs for. Immediately she said, "but who am I to have this? Who do I think I am?"That's when I spoke to her about the egos lines of defence and it's multilayered approach in preventing you from receiving and experiencing what deeply matters. I asked her what her first line of defence was. She replied, "my ego cares what others think." I said, "let's say you broke through that limiting belief, what's the second line of defence waiting to block you?"  She very quickly told me the stories and beliefs that came up immediately and we continued to do this until there were no further obvious lines of defence. This is a great way to see the intricate ways your ego armours up and defends itself, the way things are and what it deems safe or unsafe. Listen to the full episode for further insights and how to get clear on your own lines of defence. UPCOMING EVENTSSunday Meds -  30th July, Melbourne, Australia.

The Stories We Play Out In Our Head When Waiting For A Reply

That space between sending a text or email and waiting for the response for something we deem, or is, important, whether it be a job application, making the first move on bumble or asking someone out on a date, can send us bat shit na-nas."OMG, they haven't written back, I shouldn't have sent it!"The ego's response when we find ourselves waiting anxiously for a response can lead to us questioning ourselves, doubt our worth, and experience heightened insecurities during these moments (hello old wounds resurfacing).Our human instinct is to seek resolution and regain a sense of comfort, or possibly control, when faced with uncertainty. We apply coping mechanisms to manage the discomfort, from refreshing our inbox obsessively, re-reading our text or email to dissect every word and its meaning, to crafting alternative scenarios in our minds.Today's episode is a reminder that it is okay to wig out. Even if you'd done all the work in the world and wig out, it's okay. We want to do our best to slow this automated response down by asking ourselves some important questions.UPCOMING EVENTSSunday Meds -  30th July, Melbourne, Australia.

Kat & Steve - Relationships & The Ongoing Work

I held a pretty firm belief that once I found 'true love', it'd be smooth sailing and easy breezy. That when you meet, 'the one', you'll both just get each other and problems won't exist because you're 'so aligned'. What a reality check I was in for!If anything, there was more work to put in as there were now two humans with their own ego's, views of the world, belief systems, values and all the rest coming together to cohabit, plus the added layer of children and step children. Today's episode with Steve shares the realness of relationships and what's really involved when coming together AND staying together. UPCOMING EVENTSSunday Meds -  30th July, Melbourne, Australia.
