Show Notes
We spend so much of our lives taking care of everyone else. Our work. Our families. Our responsibilities.
But when was the last time you truly invested in yourself?
In this 10 minute solo episode, Kat explores why so many of us struggle to prioritise ourselves, where those beliefs come from, and why even just 10 minutes a day can completely change how you show up in every area of your life.
Drawing on her own story of life explosion, four years of speaking to thousands of people across more than 20 countries, and simple real-life examples, Kat challenges the belief that self-care is selfish and shares why it is actually the foundation of sustainable performance.
In this episode you'll discover:
Why so many of us put ourselves last The childhood conditioning that shapes our daily habits The question Kat asks every audience around the world Why your first 10 minutes can shape the next 24 hours How one small habit creates a ripple effect at work and at home Why your loved ones often get the worst version of you Simple ways to start prioritising yourself today
Key takeaway: When you neglect yourself, everyone pays the price. When you invest in yourself, everyone benefits. You don't need another hour in your day. You just need one small positive habit.
If you'd like to learn how one small positive habit can improve performance, resilience and wellbeing for your team, connect with Kat Thorne and learn more about the Positive Habits for Performance programme.

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.
