Steve and I sit down and get real about where we're currently at in life—what's working, what's not, and how we're using the Wheel of Life to check in and recalibrate.Our wheels of life are awesome, but they're always changing. It's about being honest with ourselves, having open conversations about what needs attention, and making small, steady shifts toward a life that feels good and grounded.We share:How we each use the Wheel of Life to get clarity on where we're thriving and where we're notThe areas we're currently focused on (yep, we've got imbalances too)Why we both think this tool is one of the most practical, helpful ways to live more consciously and on purposeHow this practice helps us stay on the same page as a couple, without forcing itIf you've been feeling off, stretched, or unsure where to put your energy right now, this is a conversation to tune into. It's not fancy or complicated. It's just real life, reflected back to you in a simple way that helps you move forward with more intention.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowSunday Meds - live event by the beach, June 22ndWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

There's a version of you that came before this one. The one who didn't listen to her intuition. Who stayed in relationships she knew weren't right. Who kept her mouth shut to keep the peace. Who dimmed her light to make others comfortable. Who thought she had to be strong, unbothered, and bulletproof just to survive.That woman? She deserves your love. Not your shame. Not your judgment. Not your silence.She was doing her best with what she knew. With the patterns she hadn't yet seen. With the pain she hadn't yet named. With the wounds she carried like armour.In this week's episode, I speak to the importance of honouring her—not because we want to stay in her story—but because we need to thank her for getting us this far. And then, show her a better way.It's time to stop punishing the woman you used to be. It's time to love her. Forgive her. And let her rest. She doesn't need to run the show anymore. But she does need your compassion. Because without her, you wouldn't be here.And the woman you're becoming? She's watching how you treat the woman you once were. This one's a deep one.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowSunday Meds - live event by the beach, June 22ndWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

It's not always the big ruptures that create distance in a relationship.Sometimes, it's the tiny moments. The micro-misses. The everyday ways we unknowingly make our partner feel unseen, unimportant, or left out.In this episode, Steve and I talk about the slow burn of disconnection—what we call death by a thousand cuts—and how seemingly small behaviours can add up and quietly erode closeness over time.For Steve, it's when we're having a cuddle and the dogs jump in, and I start patting them instead. It might look harmless, but in that moment, he feels like something else just took priority. For me, it's when I'm mid-sentence and he glances at his phone or checks his watch.It sends the message—without words—that what I'm saying doesn't matter as much.We share how these moments land for us, what they actually mean underneath the surface, and how we're learning to own our impact, not just our intention.This isn't about getting it perfect. It's about being conscious of the little ways we disconnect… so we can choose to reconnect, again and again.If you've ever felt brushed off, dismissed, or like you're just not quite landing with your partner—this one will hit home.Big love,Kat & Steve xBuy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowFree Wheel of Life Assessment - take the test nowSunday Meds - live event by the beach, June 22ndWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Send us a textWelcome to Episode 59 of A Place to Call Home!This week, we're joined by Sam Skeat, founder of Regen Ag Asset Management (RAAM)—a business that helps rural producers turn knowledge into action and build more resilient, efficient operations.Sam's journey has taken him from running tree-lopping crews and working with NRM groups, to coaching producers through rehydrating landscapes and shifting the way they run their businesses. His work now focuses on helping people identify blind spots, implement systems, and focus on return on effort—not just tradition or busyness.In this episode, we discuss:

In this episode, I'm sharing a season of my life I've never forgotten—because it brought me to my knees.There was a time when my Wheel of Life was absolutely wrecked. I wasn't taking care of my health. I had no grip on my finances. I was spiritually, emotionally, and physically burnt out—on autopilot, pretending everything was okay… until it wasn't.Eventually, life caught up with me. I couldn't pay rent. I was scraping coins together for groceries. And it hit a point where I had to do something I never thought I'd do—I called my brother and asked for money. That phone call cracked me open. It was humbling, embarrassing, and confronting. But what it also did was lead me back to something I'd forgotten about: the Wheel of Life.My dad reintroduced it to me not as some cheesy self-help tool—but as a mirror. To meet my life exactly where it was at. To stop pretending. To stop performing. And to take responsibility—not shame—for how out of alignment I'd become.This episode is real. And it's a reminder that when life feels like it's falling apart, sometimes it's actually asking you to come back to what matters.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - be the first to know hereSunday Meds - live event by the beach, June 22ndWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Is there something you want to bring up with your partner but are holding it back? This question has the power to crack things open. Not to break, but to deepen. In this episode, Steve and I explore why it can feel so hard to bring up the things that actually matter—the stuff that's sitting in your heart, the niggle that keeps coming back, the truth you've softened or silenced to avoid tension.We talk about the very human reasons we hold back—fear of conflict, rejection, hurting someone we love, or rocking the boat when things feel “fine.” But the truth is that avoiding these conversations doesn't keep the peace. It keeps the distance.If we want real closeness, if we want a relationship where we feel each other—not just coexist—it requires a shared agreement to go there. To bring it up. To listen. To not punish each other for being honest. That's the kind of love we're here for.We share what this has looked like for us—moments we've avoided things, moments we got it wrong, and how we've slowly built a relationship where these conversations are safe, even when they're uncomfortable.This one is an invitation: To check in with yourself. To ask the question. And to consider—what's the cost of not saying what's true?Big love,Kat & Steve xBuy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - be the first to know hereSunday Meds - live event by the beach, June 22ndWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

You know that feeling when your heart is pulling you in a direction… and your mind is like, “Umm, what the actual fuck are you doing?”That's the space I'm in right now. The dance between fear and trust. Between the life I know and the unknown pull that keeps whispering, “this way.”In today's episode, I'm opening up about the kind of pull that doesn't make logical sense, doesn't add up on paper, and yet — something deeper knows. I share how this is the exact same pull I felt when I was a nurse, before I stepped into the work I do now. The curiosity. The resistance. The shaky-but-sure feeling that something bigger is moving through me.If you're in a moment of change, if your heart is whispering and your head is screaming, if you're scared to follow the pull but scared not to… this episode is for you.Let's talk about the truth of it. The fear. The trust. And the courage it takes to say yes — even when you don't have the full map.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - be the first to know hereSunday Meds - live event by the beach, June 22ndWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

I'm copying from the previous post, just changing the bit to make it 2nd Nocturn. Even the audio pretty much does this. It's a shortcut. Hope it's not too aggravating.Matins is a bit of a tough one. The invitatory stays the same, so you get the hang of that. The responsories have a bit of variation and in Lent where the Te Deum is not said and instead there's a third responsory, “Felix namquam”. I'm singing the one from the Baronius Press book, which comes from Hartker's Nocturnale.But here is Matins for Tuesday and Friday from Septuagesima Sunday through to Holy Wednesday or Holy Saturday if you're praying in private.I've included the optional ending in case you don't go straight into Lauds.

Very similar to the last two posts, just subbing out the Psalms for the 3rd Nocturn. This recording was plagued by bird noises. First take it was Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, second take my voice was audibly much more tired and one chicken was hanging around, making her presence felt. So here you can hear one psalm from the first take and two psalms from the second take and you might guess which is which.Matins is a bit of a tough one.

In this episode, Steve and I sit down to share a conversation we've been having privately for a while now — about the importance of true support in a relationship, especially when one person is going through a season of deep inner change.Right now, Steve is in the thick of that kind of season. He's been in deep contemplation about his life, his family, and what's shaped him without even realising it. A huge part of that has been facing the generational impact of his family being murdered in Auschwitz. For so long, without even connecting the dots, he's been carrying this invisible weight — the need to accumulate, achieve, control, and “secure” everything in his life as a way of trying to feel safe. But no matter how much he had… the safety never fully landed.And that's what's starting to unravel now.What we speak to in this episode is what it takes to hold space for each other when one of you is falling apart in the best possible way. Not fixing. Not rescuing. Not getting impatient or making it mean something about you. Just staying soft, curious, steady.Steve shares how much it's meant to him to feel met in this space — to not be rushed, or judged, or told how to move through it. And I speak honestly about what it's like on the other side — to stay grounded in love and let someone evolve in front of you without needing to shape the outcome.This one's tender. Real. And a reminder that love doesn't always look like doing something big — sometimes it's in the quiet, consistent choice to just be there.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - be the first to know hereSunday Meds - live event by the beach, June 22nd Write into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

In this episode, I'm talking about something that's been landing deeply for me lately… the shift into midlife — and more importantly, the shift into living the life I've worked so bloody hard to create.Over the last 17 years, I've poured energy, time, tears, grit, therapy, growth, healing, coaching, and a whole lot of “let's go again” into building a life that's actually in good knick. My relationships are honest, my work is aligned, my body is cared for, my mind is steady(ish), and my heart is full.The wheel of life — that tool I teach, coach from, and reflect on often — is feeling juicy across the board. Not perfect, but solid. Lived in. Deepened.And now I'm asking myself… What is this chapter about?Carl Jung speaks of the “morning of life” and the “afternoon of life.” How the things that served us in the morning — chasing, striving, collecting — must be let go of in the afternoon to make room for new meaning. That's what I feel unfolding now. The afternoon of life isn't emptier, it's just different. It's more still. More honest. Less proving, more being.So today I'm riffing on that. On letting myself enjoy my life without guilt. On not needing to earn joy or rest or a Wednesday spent in the garden. On trusting that this slower, steadier pace is not a backslide — it's the reward. It's the good life, lived.

Steve and I were out on a hike recently, one of those soul-clearing walks where the body moves and the heart starts to open. We asked each other a simple but big question: “If you died tomorrow, would there be anything you'd regret? Anything you wish you'd done, experienced, or seen?”It hit us both, deeper than we expected.And you know what surprised us? It wasn't about all the things we hadn't done yet. Not the trips we hadn't taken, or the projects we hadn't started, or some massive milestone we missed. It was this: we wish we had allowed ourselves to actually enjoy the life we already have—more.Like, properly soak it in. Let it land. Not rush through it or stress over what's next or what still needs fixing… but actually be in it.It was such a wake-up call. Because we've worked hard to create a life we love. We've made big changes, taken risks, healed a lot. We've built something beautiful together—and yet, even with all of that, there's still this pull toward the next thing, the improvement, the fixing, the striving. And in that striving, we realised: we've been skimming past the gold that's already here.This conversation cracked us open. We spoke about how hard it is sometimes to actually let ourselves enjoy what we've created. How uncomfortable it can feel to pause and receive. Because there's a part of us, like many of us, that still carries the old programming—“you've got to earn your joy,” “you've got to keep pushing,” “don't get too comfortable.”But what if this—this right here—is already enough? What if joy isn't something we have to chase or achieve, but something we're allowed to feel now, exactly as things are?That question on the hike reminded us: we don't want to get to the end of our lives having missed it. Missed the softness of the morning light, or the way our daughter laughs, or the quiet moments where everything's okay and nothing needs to be fixed.So this episode is us going there. Raw, reflective, and real. We're sharing the stuff that stirred in us, and what we're choosing to do differently now—not later, now—so we can actually live the life we've got.We hope it gets you thinking. Maybe even helps you pause. Because it's so easy to forget—but this moment? It's the one we've got. Let's not miss it.Buy my book - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me - Book a 20-minute call nowWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

I'm in a season of patience right now. Not the soft, gentle kind that feels like a warm hug—but the gritty, uncomfortable kind that stretches you in all directions while whispering, “You asked for this.”Because I did. I asked for a soul level-up. I said yes to deeper alignment, more truth, more clarity. And now I'm in the thick of it. Not doing the work—being worked on.There's a quietness to this chapter. A stillness. And to be honest? I don't love it. I feel tired. Lethargic. Foggy. Like I'm in some kind of energetic surgery and all I can do is lay still and let the reshaping happen. Meanwhile, my mind is doing cartwheels. “Why is this taking so long?” “Am I going backwards?” “Shouldn't I be more productive?” “How long will this take?”And yet… the part of me that knows—the one not caught up in fear or timeline obsession—keeps reminding me: This is the work. This, right here. The waiting. The resting. The allowing. Letting go of needing to understand it all while I'm still inside it.So if you're here too—suspended between who you've been and who you're becoming—I see you. This space is sacred, even if it feels messy and slow. Patience isn't passive. It's powerful. And sometimes, the biggest transformation doesn't come from what we do—but from what we're willing to let be done to us.So I'm here. In it. Not rushing. Not resisting (well, trying not to).Just holding myself gently in the becoming.Buy my book - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me - Book a 20-minute call nowWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Today we continue our discussion around gambling harm here is Australia. Both Zen and Kate chat about their knowledge and personal experience around gambling harm and the impact it is having on Australians. Gambling harm is continually brushed under the carpet as an addiction. It’s easy money for the government and I can only assume that’s why it isn’t addressed more urgently, however, the impact it is having on families and communities cannot be diminished. If you are worried about gambling harm, you can reach out to the following organisations: Turning Point: www.turning point.org.au.

Lately, my head and my chest have been in a full-blown tug-of-war. So much for my word of the year—unwavered. If anything, my ego's been working overtime to shake me.Every morning, before I even opened my eyes properly, I'd wake up with a pit in my stomach, my chest tight with anxiety. My body was telling me something, but instead of listening, I got annoyed. Frustrated. Tried to push it away, pretend it wasn't there. Classic move, right?But one night before bed, I remembered—this is the work. Not running from it. Not suppressing it. Turning toward it. So I pulled out my journal, wrote it all down, gave my angst the mic, and let it have its say.Then, I closed my journal, took a deep breath, and fell asleep. The next morning? Space. Ease. Like my body had exhaled a sigh of relief. And in that clarity, I saw what I'd been missing—I hadn't been checking in with my heart.So I asked it. And the first thing my heart said? I want to sleep under the stars.Ha—nothing to do with the stress, the anxiety, the overthinking. Just a deep, simple truth. A reminder of something I'd been circling for a year—this hiking trip in Western Australia that I kept almost booking. In that moment, I knew. No more um-ing and ah-ing. No more waiting. My heart had spoken. I booked the trip.Since then, I've been making space again. Asking my heart to guide me. To remind me how I do life—not by pushing, forcing, or keeping up with some illusion of success, but by trusting what I already know.And just like that, I can breathe again.This episode is for you if you've been stuck in your head, overthinking, gripping too tightly. If you've been feeling the weight of it all and have forgotten to check in with you.

Today on the podcast we chat with two remarkable women who are helping to assist the community around gambling harm. Zen, is a social worker and counsellor for Turning point Australia. Her role is to assist clients who call or reach out for assistance with their gambling concerns. The statistics are clear; 27 million Australians and 32 billion was lost on gambling last year. Young men are the fastest growing demographic of gamblers. Kate bravely speaks around her own lived experience with gambling and the impact it has had on her life. She discusses how she no longer has shame around her gambling misuse disorder and discusses very frankly how we are being manipulated by companies to use pokies and online apps. The scary part is how young this is starting.

Send us a textListen to the powerful testimony of a faithful Christian sister who, through the healing power of Scripture and God's church, overcame tremendous trauma, adversity and hardship. In fact, as you will hear Jess share, she would go so far to say that she felt like she met a model of the Proverbs 31 woman! The persecuted Church unravels our understanding of the faith and in doing so teaches us much. We also  explore the impact of the persecuted church on personal faith and community along with the challenges faced by persecuted Christians, and the transformative power of their stories.

The word “journey” might get a bit overused when speaking about business, but there truly is no better word for it. A business idea is one tiny part of the story. Besides the fact that the business idea itself will likely take many different forms along the way, and that you’re never ever done when tackling something like building a business for yourself, you evolve so much as a person along the way. If that isn’t a hell of a journey, I don’t know what is. Kathryn McGarvey knows all about this particular expedition, she’s in the business of audience insights today, and it’s one of a few businesses she’s learnt, grown, languished and flourished within – as I’m sure you can relate to. In sharing her business building story you’ll hear about: Realising you’ve become unemployable Finding the business within the business Why the term “journey” for the experience of business is fundamental Building as you go The dark revenue moments And finding connection as a solopreneur Connect with Kathryn on LinkedIn Check out the NosyHQ Website And don’t forget to follow Unemployed & Afraid on IG , TikTok and LinkedIn Subscribe to the U&A Substack Join our Facebook Group And show your support for this independent podcast and small business by shouting your host a cuppa at buymeacoffee.com/unemployedpod You can reach your host on email kim@unemployedandafraid.com.au on IG on LinkedIn or via unemployedandafraid.com.auSupport the show by shouting me a cuppa (or 2): https://www.buymeacoffee.com/unemployedpodSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It can be the smallest of things that can make or break us, a compounding effect of the experiences where we don’t feel seen, heard, successful or confident – but when we realise all those experiences are totally normal, we are far more empowered to crack on with it.

There's a lot we have to work through when building a business but learning to battle down your ego – the one who wants you to stay small or don't try – is one of the toughest. If you've been building an e-commerce business it's likely you're already familiar with my guest today, but if it's the first time you're hearing from Lisa Jones Founder of SHE-com let me tell you – this conversation feels like a deeply nourishing business coaching session and quite frankly, a little kick in the bum.

Etch sparkling was developed by Jason and Andy Quin. With a background in the wine industry, it seemed a natural progression for Jason and Andy to move to the non-alcoholic space once Jason gave up drinking alcohol.  Jason and Andy's story is one like so many Australians, alcohol started to take the reins, and they made the decision to live an alcohol free life.  So, in true Aussie spirit, they decided to make an amazing array of sparkling non-alcoholic drinks that use Australian Native edibles that were shared with them by Uncle Lionel Lauch from Living Culture.   Their drinks are amazing and they were the only available option when I stopped drinking and was feeling my way through an alcohol free lifestyle. They share their story on the podcast this week, it was such a pleasure to chat with them both and understand all they are trying to achieve.  You can find their amazing drinks at  www.etchsparking.com.auSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/tendernessnursesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Samantha stayed to do her thing, so you can mostly (when Ralphy sits on the mic) hear all of us! Which, is a wonderful thing as this week's guest brought his wonderful radio voice to our ears with stories & laughs about all sorts of things from which sinful categories some of the most famous sports stars of times gone by like George Best & Michael Jordan would fit into and more controversial topics like the "Fine Cotton" saga!

This conversation feels like an homage to us business owners who get ourselves into so many uncomfortable moments in pursuit of our dreams – and that sometimes you just have to laugh at the shit we do.    Andrew's art inspired sock brand, yes socks, called Mennie is a super rare brand these days, as you really get a sense that it's different, truly authentic and with its own personality.

Most of us tumble our way through business – this truth is a far cry from what we might think it's supposed to be. But while you might think you need a fully fleshed out idea and detailed business plan, most of the magic comes through doing, trying, pivoting and making mistakes.

In this episode of *Ask Kat & Steve*, we answered a listener's question about navigating the complexities of blended families. She asked how to handle the difficult, messy moments and how to eventually feel like she fits in as part of a real and authentic family. This is a question that hits home for us because we've lived it, and we know how challenging those “ick” moments can feel when everything seems out of sync.  Steve and I shared the key principles we come back to time and again: honest communication and understanding the unique dynamics of the kids in the family. It's about paying attention to their triggers, quirks, and egos—knowing what sets them off and how to bring them back to their relaxed, authentic state of being. It's not about fixing them but holding space for who they are while remaining grounded ourselves. No easy feat may I add!We also talked about the work we do on ourselves, which is the foundation for everything. If we're not checking in with our own triggers and patterns, we can't show up as the united front the kids need. Blended families aren't about pretending to be perfect or forcing connection; it's about consistently doing the work to build trust, create safety, and let the relationships evolve naturally. It's a beautiful mess.
