I started 2024 in the best shape and health I’ve been in for 15 years, while simultaneously facing some big wounds and receiving unexpected recognition, invitations and generosity.

There were times during the year where I really felt like I was failing in every area of life, but I also had some of the most exciting and fulfilling highs I’ve had in years. Looking back and seeing it all in its entirety was the only way I could comprehend what a wildly successful year it was. I’d go so far to say it was one of the best years of this chapter of my life, full of unforgettable events and memories and many breakthroughs personally and professionally!

Throughout the year I paid close attention to my own cycle and the lunar cycle and I really felt the impact of the eclipse seasons. April, September, October and November were challenging months for me energetically and emotionally. February, March and May were highlight months.

Between April and June I did a lot of work on my relationship with money and future visions for our family and businesses. Some of this work manifested almost immediately, but it wasn’t fully apparent until the end of the year when we looked back at everything.

I did more overseas travel than I’ve ever done before, including 5 overseas trips to Mexico, Japan, Portugal and twice to the USA.

I invested 10K+ in my own personal and professional growth and development including an incredible online business course, a live business conference, astrology support, energy work, therapy, Kindrêd retreats, and many online classes with educators I love and respect.

On the family front, it was a mix as always with my youngest having 3 bouts of croup (including two hospital admissions) being officially diagnosed with ADHD and on the positive front overcoming a lot of his fears. My eldest completed year 11 and got an awesome part-time job.

I gave myself the gift of spending several hours reviewing my year with my own (new) process and it was such a gratifying, validating and liberating thing to do. Leave me a comment below if you’d like to know more about how I did it.

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

One of my most important values is EXPERIENCE.

Experience can translate and manifest in lots of different ways but one of them is travel, adventuring and exploring.

It’s a way to learn more about yourself, to play, to find your edges, and to learn about experiment.

I fell in love with travel in my early 20s (which is when I first got to do it) and my travels feel less like holidays and more like messy adventures. And that’s what I want.

I have two Astro lines crossing through Japan, and my Venus line goes directly through Kyoto (a place I’ve been obsessed with for decades) so I knew this would be an unforgettable trip. And so it was.

My fave things about Japan are:
🇯🇵 The fashion - effortless layering and comfort fit clothing with simple sizing options and hidden adjustables.
🇯🇵 The food. I ate double what I normally do because I just had to try everything.
🇯🇵 The people. So polite, so respectful, so good at crowd management.
🇯🇵 The convenience and efficiency of everything. Public restrooms, vending machines, umbrella station, etc etc.
🇯🇵 The design of everything, from gardens to streets to interiors, everything thoughtful and beautiful.

❓Have you been to Japan? What was your favourite thing?

This post features 20 random phone pics from a highlight reel of 100 from my recent family adventure to Japan where we visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagoya and Hakone. Pics featuring me were taken by . ➡️

Do you believe this?

Can you look back on your life and see that even in the most difficult, dire moments that you still made it, that there was still enough, and that your toughest times taught you valuable lessons that moved you forwards?

I can honestly say that there have been chapters where I was too hurt, too unsupported and too deep in survival mode to be able to see this beautiful truth.

But the humility and perspective of hindsight is an incredible thing.

The words came from Rumi of course. And this is pinned next to my bed to remind me.

The universe wants the best for you. It wants you to succeed. Just like your loved ones do. Just like you do. The very worst things you can imagine haven’t happened and it’s very unlikely they ever will. How much easier and more wonderful would life be if we could let go of the fear and just believe that it’s all going to work out?

Sending you love, no matter where you are on this journey. ❤️🌌

👑 MY HOT TAKE on how to put yourself first 👑

1. Be really honest with yourself and get clear on what parts of your life are causing you struggle. Take small actions towards change, even if it’s uncomfortable or hard.

2. Get into personal growth, in whatever way is appealing and feels right to you. There are SO MANY options.

3. Spend more time with humans who inspire you and who put themselves first in their lives. Humans who are successful (according to your definition) and do things that you aspire to.

4. Spend less time with humans who enable you to stay small or who criticise you or who spend a lot of time complaining.

I call myself a growth guide because my gift is seeing the other (ie, you).

I’m also ok with being called a coach, a facilitator, an educator, an artist and/or an entrepreneur.

The truth is I’ve dedicated the last few years of my life to personal growth and healing because I learn by doing, so my lessons help me help others. I believe you have to be personally coming from the same place as the thing you do. People call it different things—congruence, alignment, integrity—it’s all the same to me.

My mission is to help you find pathways to growth, authenticity, relationship with self, personal power, deeper connection and meaning.

I believe that your nervous system capacity, your relationship to yourself and your body, how you relate to your lived experiences and what you believe all have a huge impact on how your life feels to you. And that’s why I think these are the things that need tending to FIRST.

👑 Last chance to be part of Project Self 👑

Today, my second intake of Project Self completed their creative journey.

We finished with an emotional online celebration where the group of three
open-hearted, curious women shared their work, their experiences and their reflections.

This program explores all the modalities, techniques and approaches that I know, love and trust and have been responsible for my own growth, transformation and healing. It’s an honour and a privilege to hold this space and to witness the courage and vulnerability that comes.

“The journey of Project Self has been the most beautiful 6 months of my life. What we have all shared and felt and experienced alone and together has been a treasure to say the least. Thank you for creating an amazing space for humans to find themselves again and to feel safe enough to be open and raw.”

“Project Self delivered on its promise from day one. Gently nudging me out of a decades’ long creative black hole, and freeing me from the pressure of perfectionism. It clarified a new way of being where I prioritise my needs, and actively manage my nervous system, for a calmer, more fulfilling existence. I know that the benefits of this course will continue long beyond our last session. Thank you Katie for all the enlightenment.”

Project Self is an intimate and unique group program to show women the magic inside them, unlock their creativity and guide them to build a compassionate and congruent relationship with themselves, so they understand themselves better, create incredible work they love and can boldly step into the life they always dreamed of having.

🌟Scroll through the carousel to find out more of the details.🌟

📌And comment or DM ‘self’ for more info. We start the final intake for 2024 at the end of this month.📌

Most things in the world are sold through the premise that they will FIX you. Because you are BROKEN and MISSING SOMETHING.

Kindrêd is not like that.
💫Kindrêd is where you get to discover (or rediscover) the magic inside you.
💫Kindrêd is where you get to connect (or reconnect) with your body, your imagination and your intuition.
💫Kindrêd is where you get to regulate your nervous system and your emotions by spending time in a safe, creative space with no expectations or judgements.
💫Kindrêd is where the wildness inside you has permission to be set free.
💫Kindrêd is where your humanness—your vulnerability, your curiosity, your truth—is your power and your doorway.

Kindrêd is a modern form of meditation powered by movement, human connection and mirror neurons. Kindrêd directly connects your body, imagination and intuition and helps you learn how to regulate your emotions and access heightened states of consciousness quickly and easily. It’s also a form of play which is something that neuroscience tells us adults need just as much as children.

Classes are now open for booking in April and May. Please note, I will have a lot more classes in June, July and August, but April and May are big months with lots of events and travel. So start now, and build up later.

There is one free 30 minute intro class each month. Take this one if you’ve NEVER done Kindrêd before. Then take the other ones.

The longer classes are for after you’ve done an intro class. You can sign up to multiple classes. They are all different.

All classes are held on Zoom. You just need a device or laptop in a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted, headphones if you wish, sitting comfy. Kindrêd is suitable for all ages, abilities and neuro-types.

See you in class!

“It amazes me how old you can be when you're still figuring s**t out! But over the last year I've come to understand myself better.

I now know what I need. And do what I want, rather than what others expect of me.

My therapist credits Project Self as a major contributor. Alongside therapy and yoga, it gets me into a more balanced zone, then everything becomes easier.

I've become my own advocate. I give myself the time I never used to. I've set boundaries I never thought I would, and I've said things I've never dared.

Now I fill my cup first, rather than at the end when I'm depleted from doing things for others, so I can do things for me too.

I'll always be a work-in-progress.”

They were spoken out loud to me by an amazing woman who had 3 months earlier completed my signature online program.

I’m not saying that Project Self was the biggest thing that’s helped her in her healing journey. And neither is she.

The biggest thing is that she chose herself.

And in that process she found resources and support that accelerated her growth and expanded her capacity and how she shows up in the world.
My mission is to help as many women as possible choose themselves, and keep choosing themselves.

If it’s time for you to start choosing you, I offer a 6 month, intimate (small group) online program for women called Project Self. This program helps you find the magic inside you and step into the life you always dreamed of. Our toolkit includes creative expression, self inquiry, nervous system work, somatics and more.
