Show Notes
How many opportunities have you talked yourself out of because of a thought that wasn't actually true?
In this solo episode, Kat reflects on nearly five years since taking the leap to start The Morning GameChanger and reveals the invisible battle that almost stopped her before she even began.
From believing "Who's going to listen to me?" to building an international speaking business and a podcast listened to around the world, Kat shares why your biggest obstacle is rarely your ability - it's the stories you tell yourself.
If you've ever wanted to start a business, launch a passion project, improve your health, or simply make a positive change, this episode will help you recognise the thoughts that may be keeping you stuck - and show you one simple habit that can help you move forward. In this episode you'll discover: Why your thoughts are often your biggest barrier - not your circumstances. The limiting beliefs that almost stopped Kat from starting her business. How journaling helped separate facts from fear. Why action creates evidence that challenges self-doubt. Why "failure" is often just valuable feedback pointing you in the right direction. A simple question to ask whenever your mind tells you you can't.
You are not your thoughts.
Your thoughts are often stories. When you learn to notice them instead of believing them, you create space to choose a different response, take action, and build the life you truly want. Small actions create evidence. Evidence builds confidence.

In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Whitemore and Catriona Ralls from Warner Goodman - lawyers, colleagues and regular members of our Women Who PLNGE community. We explore the power of human connection - at work and in life and how shared experiences, vulnerability and simple positive habits have helped strengthen their team culture and the relationships they build with their clients. But we also go deeper into relationships, counselling, community, cold-water swimming, the expectations we place on others and taking responsibility for our own happiness. We explore: Why human connection matters at work How vulnerability and shared experiences can strengthen teams Why relationships can be a competitive advantage The power of community and taking responsibility for our own happiness Small positive habits that help us feel and perform at our best And we finish with an important reminder: Stop searching for the red flags and start searching for the glimmers.

In this episode of the Positive Habits Podcast, I’m joined by career coach and diversity & inclusion expert Sally for a brilliant conversation about women, careers, confidence and the power of backing yourself. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, Sally had reached the room she'd worked so hard to get into only to realise it wasn't where she wanted to be. She took the leap, left corporate life and built a career helping other women accelerate their careers, navigate change and create work that actually works for them.
