Show Notes
In this powerful episode, Kat sits down with Hannah Baldwin - a modern-day energy healer and organisational and positive psychologist whose work helps people flourish and thrive.
Together, they explore The Hidden Energy Leaks in Your Life - the habits, behaviours, and situations that quietly drain your mental, emotional, and physical capacity. This is an inspiring, practical conversation designed to help you understand where your energy is going and what new habits will help restore and protect it.
You’ll hear real-world examples, simple daily practices, and grounded mindset shifts to help you feel more energised, balanced and in control.
Energy is your most important performance resource. You can have all the time in the world, but without energy, nothing moves.
Energy leaks show up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, digital distractions, over-giving, and constant overstimulation.
Awareness is the first step: notice who and what leaves you feeling drained, and make conscious adjustments.
Setting healthy boundaries is essential: saying no, slowing down, and choosing what’s right for you.
Meditation is a powerful life skill that helps you restore and regulate your energy.
You don’t need to live life at 100mph - slowing down creates more clarity, presence, and fulfilment.
Even 10 minutes a day of intentional self-care can change how you show up in the world.
BEST MOMENTS
“You can have all the time in the world, but if you don’t have any energy, then there’s no point… managing our energy leads to more time.”
“If you’re constantly living life like that, you’re leaking energy all the time - things like perfectionism, people-pleasing, shape-shifting.”

ABOUT THE HOST
Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting, working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life’ price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself.
She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.
