25.01.2022 REMEMBER TO PLAY// Crank your favourite tunes, sing your favourite songs and dance when you feel it (if Rona rules havent shat on the fun). Most people dont even like themselves so please dont let what they may think of you enter your arena. Life is serious enough...heres to a life of being relentlessly playful. X

23.01.2022 Please don’t dismiss the way your feeling because you think you should be feeling a different way right now. You can drown in 7 feet of water or 70. Some days your load will feel really heavy. Some days it will make sense why, others will almost buckle you with seemingly no explanation. You WILL find reasons though, you will be able to name a dozen. Why? Because our brain wants to understand. Feel it, respect it, but don’t stay longer than you need to.... Use your tools. Name it. Share with someone you trust. Move your body. Fresh air. Tick something off your list and use your planner. Nourish your body. Prioritise sleep. These are my go-to’s to support me when life starts to feel a little heavier then usual and I work them into my life like my life depends on it. My quality of life does. What are your go-to’s that help keep your head above water? Are you prioritising them? If this is new to you, write them down, visit them often and give yourself every opportunity to float. Xox

21.01.2022 THIS BOOK by @sonyareneetaylor is MAJOR!!! I’ve just finished the audio version on Audible and I rate it. Sonja challenged me to look at the ways and where I wasn’t fully accepting myself. What’s even bigger... she challenged me to look at ways in which I may not be accepting other people. Pfwoooooor. BIG! ... Thank you @sonyarenaeetaylor .. Every-time I have gone to hang my head a little or shy away from being seen, your words held me. My body is not an apology.... A-fucking-men!

20.01.2022 To have a beach body, all youve got to do is take your body to the beach. Oh yeah... and everyone has tummy rolls when they sit. #fact I beg you to get curious with the story that youre telling yourself as to why you cant do the thing youve always wanted to do.... Also... Ill jump ahead to say no one is looking at you or worrying about you, theyre too busy worrying about their own stuff. Go forth and do that which you were putting off. Lifes too bloody short.

20.01.2022 Catch yourself when you feel scared and fearful or challenged. That feeling within your body before you flare up. There’s always a shift. Instead of the pattern you’ve rolled with, ask yourself ‘What is it that I REALLY need in this moment’. The moment we have taught ourselves to lock down is usually the moment we most need a hug.... The moment we want to rage is usually when our hearts are breaking. Dig a little deeper, own what you REALLY need and practice sharing that because it’s your truth and not because of an outcome you’re hoping to receive. Do it for you. And it’s totally ok if it’s scary. You’re changing patters and that shit is hard. It takes guts to change your programming but imagine the gift of embracing a PAUSE and moving from a place of what you actually really need or desire rather than what you’ve always done? Game Changer.

19.01.2022 This is a NY Resolution Free Zone peeps. Not up in here. Instead of your year being about things you want to restrict, cut out or punish yourself for, I invite you to make it about things you want to ‘add in. A vibe. A thread or intention you are going to weave throughout your days.... Let’s talk about YOUR WORD. If you already know it, I’d love for you to share it. My word still hasn’t landed yet, but I know it will. It always does. My word for 2020 was ‘Desire’. While things didn’t look how I thought it was going to look when I set it , I absolutely filled my year with so many things that I’ve always wanted to do. Clay workshops, swimming in new places, started pilates and basically strengthened my relationship with my desires and inner voice tenfold. So before you start your year focussing on everything you don’t want, try a different way and weave a word throughout your next trip around the sun. Do you have yours yet? @ Merewether

19.01.2022 Joy and happiness have the best marketing execs, but the real stars of the emotional wheel for me are CONTENTMENT and PEACE. The sweet and inevitably more sustainable middle ground is where its at my friend. If its costing you your peace, its too expensive. Game. Set. Match.... #protectyourpeace

19.01.2022 Wherever you are today, meet yourself there and greet yourSELF with compassion. Confused? Thats ok. Anxious? Totally fine. Relaxed? Enjoy it.... All of you, your experiences and your stories are part of the human experience. Go easy on yourself you cosmic combination of every second youve ever experienced. Compassion first. Then curiosity. What you do with that is entirely up to you but you are invited every second to light your world up. How you choose to love yourself teaches the world how to love you too. Now aint that grand? Fucking oath.

18.01.2022 Just over here, keeping things classy for a Thursday @innapropriategift

18.01.2022 Always and forever still learning how to be a soft place to land. I hope these words give you the same hope and peace they do me. Human AF and proud.

17.01.2022 BOUNDARIES - What a vibe at the moment am I am totally here for it. Boundaries arent put in place to hurt or offend anyone else, they are there to protect your peace. I looooove talking boundaries. Where you could benefit from them, how to hold them and how to overcome your resistance to them.... Every one of your friends could be shouting with jazz hands at you with suggestions of where you need some, but until youre ready to address lè resistance, you wont do it. Been there. Done it. Bought the T-shirt. But now? Ruthless in the protection of my peace. Let me know below if youd like a IGTV on them but here is a thread to get you started. #boundaryup @ Bar Beach, New South Wales

17.01.2022 You absolutely are. FACT!

17.01.2022 MUM GUILT // The day you become a mum you forever have two thoughts about everything. One for you, and one for how it will affect your littles. The girls and I are off tomorrow for 2 nights in Byron to celebrate one of our favourites Birthdays. We’ve been planning it since May. I’m fluffing so excited I have butterflies. 1 thought for me.... 1 thought for my littles. The guilt I’m swimming in today is real because this falls on my time with them, but I know they’ll loooooove the weekend with their nan and pop. Anxiety and excitement feel super similar within your body so I’m choosing to take it with me. I’m re-writing the story of what a ‘good mum’ does and going for a mum who lives her life to the full. A mum who challenges old stories and a woman who loves her friendships, celebrates them and let’s laughter lead. Plus wine.. oh and gin. Defo wine. If you can relate, get curious with it. Understand where it comes from. A place of love. ‘Mum Guilt’ always stems from a place of love for these little people so yay for that. And Mumma... loving on YOU doesn’t mean you love them any less.. if anything it gives you the capacity to love them even more. P.S @kobe.jadephotography these images of the boys and I are absolutely US. Thank you so much!

16.01.2022 Because when it all comes down to it, if you cant play... youre missing the point. If it feels good, do it. #ByronBay

13.01.2022 Driving yourself into the ground, sacrificing your joy and putting yourself last are corner stones of a broken system. A system that sold the message of in order to show love you must slowly forget everything that made you YOU to serve those you love. I even cringe writing that. Vom.... The people who you love deserve to experience you at your best. All your wild flying free. Lit up, jacked up on joy and feeling at home in your body. You are doing nobody any favours by pretending your needs dont matter while you slowly start to resent them and the system that encouraged you to sacrifice yourself in order to be a good one. Showing love for others neednt involve abandoning yourself. There is another way I promise you. And you dont need to go find yourself... youre still there. What you need has been within you all along. Just start listening friend.

13.01.2022 FACT. I get it. Youre uncomfortable. Perhaps theres hurt there? An unfinished conversation? Questions? Things you want to say?... Maybe you miss them, you want to let them know? I get that, I do. Perhaps you want to numb out, drink the things? Eat the things? Outrun the things? I get that too. I do. Sure, in the short term you may feel a slight shift, but the fact of why youre uncomfortable and feeling the feels remains. The fact is... it just is. The best thing you can do is meet it all with compassion, no judgement and know that it will pass. Its ok if it feels like shit. Youre paying attention and youre learning. Youre feeling and changing a pattern. Congratulations on having a big beautiful heart. I got you x

13.01.2022 My favourite memory from Christmas Day this year is this. Yes, I loved watching the boys with their presents and the magic. Yes I loved seeing them marvel at the carrots that the reindeer ate (aka I reluctantly ate at 9pm at night) and all the other things in between but geez. It’s a selfless show this gift of Christmas we put on for our littles. It’s hectic, exhausting, pretty stressful and the little turkeys don’t often realise how lucky they are. This walk that turned int...o a rain run made me so freaken happy because it reminded me of ME. And a season where you’re often thinking of everyone else... I’m forking claiming this moment. Unapologetically. Mine. Because our joy is our responsibility and being stoked with time by yourself doesn’t take anything away from anyone else. I said what I said. Peace out Christmas x See more

11.01.2022 CLOSE OUT THE LOOPS // 2020 is coming to a close, and I know many of us are keen to flick the calender over into a fresh new year but not so fast. It's important to pay homage to the year just gone before we look at what's next. P O D C A S T - closing out the loops of 2020. For some ideas on how to tell 2020 to "wrap it up hoe" and create space for calling in what you want search Simply Complicated on your fave poddy platform.... There in your palm will be 6 simple tasks to do throughout the month of December or whenever you feel ready to switch gears and support you in doing just that. Defo tag me in yours as you move through them. Let's close out those loops before we look forward to what's next. Game on betches.... #2020 #Closeouttheloops

11.01.2022 A life without fear is never the goal, but a life deciding what that fear means to you is. Reach an agreement with your fears that they can come along for the ride, but have no say in where youre going. This is where your freedom comes from. You can be scared, and still do it. You can be nervous, and still say yes. You can be petrified and still show up because life is pretty flipping sweet when its lived alongside your scaries.... Why? Because then you give yourself shit loads of opportunities to be proud. Fear is just a chance to be brave friend and all your feelings are welcome at the table x

10.01.2022 THIS PLACE There were times when I thought I would never get here, and there were times I thought it didnt even exist. But it does. Its chill. Its neutral.... Its being ok if it does happen and ok if it doesnt. Its contentment. Its taken a truck load of inner work, compassion and so many ewwwww, well this feels shit moments. But it passes. I dont know how long Ill linger in this beautiful and hilarious place of NOW. Everything is always changing, but Ive been here for over a week (not on this bench.. but in the feels) and Im loving this for me. Im sharing because I want to remember it and also that if I can find the sweet spot in my life thats unreliant on anyone else - you can too. Keep going. Keep meeting your heart and your hurts and fears with compassion. I see you. I got chu. Dont expect it to be easy, but its so much simpler than you think. If you dont believe me, just ask all my friends here on this bench...

10.01.2022 It may look different to how you thought it was going to look, but if it brings you peace you win. One more time for the folks in the cheap seats... I saaaaaaid.... PEACE = WINNING.... Love that for us. (Chefs Kiss)

10.01.2022 THIS SCENE JUST GOT ME, AND IM TOTALLY OK WITH IT. The idea that someone could walk into our lives and see my boys as the absolute legends that they are makes my heart happy. I havent had that experience. Yet. Even though this is a movie and even though I am so stoked with where I am, another possible path still dances across my consciousness occasionally.... A dream of being chosen... a dream of us being seen as valuable as I see us. Im no longer letting that dream be a painful one. Instead a reminder that I choose me and us and I see how valuable we are every single day. And we are... the most valuable and worthy of everything great in this world. Incase you were wondering? You are too x

09.01.2022 It doesn’t need to make sense to anyone else, as long as it feels like peace to you. #teamyou

07.01.2022 PARENTING .... I love them to bits, but sometimes I dont like the job very much

06.01.2022 There.. I said it. Not to you though, youre awesome. All moods are welcome here friend. All moods are welcome. Making mum proud since 1982. ... #mindsetmatters

06.01.2022 My word for 2021 is UNAPOLOGETIC. : not apologetic : offered, put forward, or being such without apology The more I circle the sun, the more sure I am of what brings me peace, what lights me up and what I hold close. ... This word feels a little sassy, strong and one heck of a North Star to guide me to stepping more into who I am, how I want to feel and what my day looks like even in the most simplistic ways. I am comfortable with you being uncomfortable with me. And so it goes.... Unapologetic. What’s yours?

06.01.2022 F A C T // One of the worst feelings in the world is being in love with someone who’s busy not choosing you. You become addicted to the little highs, which make you forget the extent of all the lows. You become fixated on hoping that they choose you, instead of actually stopping for a second and wondering if you choose them. ... Then just as you put your big girl panties on to bail, they say just enough to reignite that hope in you and make you feel crazy for ever doubting the connection in the first place. I’ve been there a few times in this lifetime and I give it no stars. Do not recommend. Here’s what I know... You can’t hate a clown for being a clown. You gotta ask why you keep going to the circus. You get what you settle for. You get what you believe you deserve. I know the thought of being alone can be scary if you’re used to a roller coaster of anxious attachment. The one for you though will never be toxic for you. It’s not how it works. It’s so much better to be alone, than be in love with someone who leaves you feeling lonely. Promise you that 1000x over, but it’s not my belief in you that matters. It’s yours

06.01.2022 Sunday mornings can be a lonely place if youre hung up on your relationship status. Or you can go climb a mountain, bike ride, swim at the beach, dominate bottomless brunch, lay in the sun or have fun in a million different other ways. Not one of them has anything to do with your relationship status. Big SUNDAY energy over here get it friends.

05.01.2022 REST Can we all stop wearing busy as a badge of honour already and normalise rest friends? I have a 1.5hr break in between client sessions today, and past Katie would have stayed at the desk, drafted emails or pushed through to maximise her time.... Current Katie knows that if I allow myself a little pause to have lunch, drink a coconut coffee and snuggle an incredibly cute dog I will feel sooooo much better, do better work and not want to go to bed at 4pm. Future Katie will be so proud. @mitch.wallis said it perfectly this morning. Work hard - Rest Hard. Give yourself what you need friends. Future you thanks you. Also, how flipping cute is Rubys snoot? I forking love this dog.

04.01.2022 S T O R Y // You are who you are because of every person youve ever met and situation youve ever experienced. What happens though when you want to block a part of it out, avoid or push it away? The more you try, the louder it gets. The best way to turn the page is to take it with you. Learn from your story.... Meet your revisits with compassion and understanding and choose what you will allow it to mean to you moving forward. ACKNOWLEDGE the thought, story and shift in the way you feel. ASK why this is coming up for you AMEND meet it with compassion and choose how you wish to FEEL about this story and memory moving forward. PROCEED. Carry on. Your story is still there, but youre rewriting your response and creating a future alongside your stories. Its all so very simple, but that doesnt mean that its easy. Its NOT EASY.. but freedom is always worth it right? Hit me up if youre ready to work 1:1 with me friend or secure your place on the website now. Places are available from October. X

04.01.2022 E Y E. C O N T A C T // Today I locked eyes with a super handsome man on my walk in Byron, and Im all about that eye contact. Its hours later and Im still thinking about it. Eye contact is the absolute best. Its a way to connect, its vibe-ing, its reading each other. When youre walking, where do you look?... When you meet someone, where does your gaze go? If your eyes meet, do you hold their gaze and smile or do you look away? Give me that old school, soul gazing eye contact any day. Hold your gaze. Hold your gaze. Hold your gaze. If youre open to new friendships and connections keep your energy open and eyes up. If this is super uncomfortable for you, thats totally ok to begin with but lean in to that. You are worthy of being seen and loved. You are worthy of being gazed at and into. And you have soooo much spice and depth to give the world. Whos got a great our eyes locked story for me.... ?

04.01.2022 P O D C A S T // BOUNDARIES. Boundaries arent put in place to hurt or offend anyone else, they are there to protect your peace. Its a lofty topic with all the segways but the first poddy of season 3 is geared around 8 steps to consider plus examples of where you could benefit from them, how to hold them and how to overcome your resistance to them. Every one of your friends could be shouting with jazz hands at you with suggestions of where you need some, but until youre re...ady to address lè resistance, you wont do it. Boundaries also don't need to involve another person, they can be just for you because your peace is worth whatever it takes. I thought Id get an IGTV on this topic but this is actually better.

03.01.2022 When old wounds resurface its easy to blame, its easy to turn away or numb out. I dont want to do that. You can feel all your feelings, meet your wounds with compassion and live your life from a place of choosing your path, not your pain. Here we go.... Humaning is messy business... but Im here for it x Normalise youre feeling friend x

02.01.2022 Letting it be easy and calling in our best Summer yet. 4 days to Byron. 76 Days to Summer. Endless opportunities for @cocowhip at one of our fave places. ... Whats a fave summer ritual of yours?

02.01.2022 CHECK IN FRIEND // Never under estimate the power of checking in with yourself. No one knows what you need in any given moment better than you. Every day will feel different so what you need will be different. Let it be easy, but make it consistent.... Check yo self before you wreck yo self as many times as you can throughout your day. If you dont honour what you need friend, how on earth do you expect the world to?

02.01.2022 F A C T // If the festive season feels forked, please take it easy on yourself string bean. It’s totally normal to feel more grief, more alone or more overwhelmed at this time. I definitely have moments where I relate to the Grinch more than a spicy ‘Santa’s Helper’. There’s more late nights, more things to do, raging expectations of everything needing to be magical that it’s easy to feel suffocated by it all.... I don’t know what the answer is but I know I generally feel a lot better by Boxing Day. - A good cry - Staying Active and healthy - Connection - Honesty - Prioritising sleep A few things that I know support me during these emotionally heightened times. Here’s the thing though, you are feeling how you’re feeling for a reason. It’s usually because you’re wishing that this moment you’re in looked or felt differently, but there’s power and freedom in letting it look and feel how it does. If you miss someone... miss them. If you long for someone... long for them. If you’re lonely... practise loving your alone-ness. Nothing about this needs fixing, it needs feeling. I’m right there with you friend. Please reach out to someone you trust and let them know if you’re feeling swamped by it all, you don’t get a medal for suffering in silence friend. Why not leave a comment or emoji in this thread if you can relate and let’s show each other that all feelings are welcome this festive season.

01.01.2022 Your brain loves what it knows. Its a super computer and if youve programmed it to follow a certain pattern, then you betcha thats what its going to do. Eg. Get triggered. Emotions flood.... Story about what you have made this mean goes on loop. Then you use that story to affirm the BS because now youve found proof. See... I knew it This always happens to me Im unloveable, unlikeable, dont fit in Your brain fulfils its known circuit and you carry on feeling shit, looking for proof to prove the point to yourself. Sounds savage because it IS so go easy on yourself. Youre not busted, negative or hopeless ...youre following a program. At least you have been. But... you can change the sequence. You can re-wire your program and you can meet yourself where you are and update the software upstairs. I work towards doing it everyday and I support clients doing the same. Theres no secret, its a practise and one Im totally here for. Start paying attention to your programming. Awareness is the first step to saying NOT THIS. Then compassion. Then you get to choose. Wild. Wild. Wild. Brains are awesome.

01.01.2022 You are your greatest teacher sweet potato. Pay attention.

01.01.2022 FACT. I have gone to write so many versions of this post because it’s BIG and applies to so many areas. Here’s the thing... take these words, apply it where it fits and take your power back. Instead of hoping that ‘they choose you’... ask yourself if you really want to choose them?... Instead of making their needs more important, what would it feel and look like to honour yours? Instead of waiting, asking and hoping for a space to open, you take up space, hold your head high and run towards anything that feels like sunshine. Imagine what it would be like to choose, prioritise and honour you... then do that
