Welcome to Create Your Own Truth. I’m your host Kat and I’m a fitness and mindset coach. I’m here to share my journey to authenticity knowing it will help others create their own truth too because we all deserve to live freely and authentically without fear of judgment or expectation. I’m still learning every day and that will never stop so I hope you join me on this wild and uncomfortable but oh so freeing ride.
Episode 3 of Season 4 is here! This week we are discussing how over-planning can prevent you from actually taking action because it focuses on perfectionism instead of just getting started. We have to be willing to take a look at our past attempts at hitting a goal and realize if we were trying to change too much all at once or not taking action at all. Realizing that moving forward imperfectly gets you so much further than not doing anything at all because you're so focused on making the perfect plan or trying to change everything overnight which creates burnout. Don't miss this week's action step which will have you taking action TODAY towards one of your most important goals that you've wanted to achieve for a long time.
Episode 2 of the "GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER" season! This week we are talking all about excuses we have used that have been holding us back from becoming who we desire to be. It's all about self-awareness, not shame. But we need awareness in order to move forward & create change. Your action step for this week is to write a letter to your past self releasing everything you are ready to finally let go of in order to create space to welcome in who you want to be! No shame or judgment in the letter, just acknowledge and release. Get real with yourself and what you're ready to leave behind. I have done this many times and it is so healing! Feel the sense of release that comes from this action step!
Season 4 of Create Your Own Truth is here and it's going to be a juicy one! This season is a series called "GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER" and I mean that in the most loving, least judgmental way possible! And I'm talking to myself too with this series, so we are in this together!
Each week will build upon the last with realistic action steps that you will take weekly to finally create change you have been wanting to see for a long time! You'll have a clear vision and support! Show up and let's do this!
Episode 1 is all about getting freaking clear! It's really hard to know how to move forward or how to take action when we don't even know what we want to achieve. So we'll be answering some reflective questions to gain clarity on how we want to live our lives and who we want to be. There is only one rule - whatever comes to mind, write it down because no matter how farfetched it might seem, if you can imagine it, you can achieve it!!!! Oh and one more rule - BE SPECIFIC! The Universe has no idea what to bring you if you are vague. Let's do this!
The final episode of Season 3! This episode is all about recognizing and taking the steps to overcome self-sabotage. We all have our own unique forms of how we sabotage what we truly want in our lives and it's up to us to be accountable and take steps to heal those parts of us so that we are able to move forward and achieve anything we want.
Let's talk about how we can change our minds about things we thought were 100% right for us! Life is a never-ending journey and so is taking care of our bodies. It is okay to need and want different things at different stages in our journeys. We show up for ourselves the best that we can and that may be different at certain times than what we ever thought for ourselves. We are constantly learning and growing and that's why it's important to keep an open mind and practice so much self-love!

This episode is short and sweet about how change doesn't have to - and shouldn't be - difficult and forced. It should be realistic for where you are in your life right now. It should be enacted in a way that's enjoyable to you and brings you feelings that you are desiring. If it's not, there is always a way to switch it up!

I recorded this spontaneous episode a day before my birthday and I'm so glad I did! This episode can be the fresh start you need even if your birthday isn't near. I talk about my intentions for the next year, how I want to feel, remind myself that it's never too late to go after anything in life and even talk about giving myself a little challenge for my 33rd year!
This episode of Create Your Own Truth is all about self-love and learning to love yourself on your journey rather than waiting to hit the finish line before you feel worthy of happiness. Practicing self-love along the way will not only make the journey more enjoyable but it will bring a sense of ease and remove any unrealistic pressure you are putting on yourself. It is absolutely okay to want to make changes to yourself, but doing it out of self-love rather than self-hatred or limiting beliefs is going to be a game changer when you do hit your goals and for your entire life moving forward.
In this new episode, I talk all about releasing past versions of ourselves that no longer align with who we want to be in the one life we get. Releasing past traits, past versions of ourselves allows us to create space to welcome in who we want to be - without creating space, it is very difficult to be have the energy to show up as who we desire to be because we are still dedicating energy to who we don't want to be. It all takes energy and we only have so much. Take a listen and I guarantee you'll be ready to release anything you've been wanting to let go of by the time the episode is done.
In this episode of Create Your Own Truth, I talk about how we can be many things and embrace being multifaceted in life. If we limit ourselves to one label, we may feel restricted in life and held down by that label. We don't need to just claim one thing about ourselves. The sky is the limit - let's start living as all the things we desire to be.
In this episode, I keep it casual and just chat about my own realization that I can't do it all. I tend to go, go, go and then I burn out. I know so many people can relate to this and the pressure that we put on ourselves so I knew this episode would be beneficial to others. Slowing down can benefit us in so many ways and the life that we want to live.
This episode is all about checking on how 2023 is going so far!

Just follow these simple tips and you will be turning your year around and going down the path you desire.
I am sharing my story of "breaking up with alcohol". I get real during this episode and share a bit about my past and why this past version of myself no longer aligns with who I am or who I want to be. I don't know what my relationship with alcohol will be in the future - I am just sharing where I am today. I hope this helps anyone who has been on a similar journey of wanting to reduce or control their alcohol consumption.
Gaining clarity might be the missing step that is preventing you from hitting goals you have. If we don't know what we actually want, it is really hard to take action forward because we have no direction of where to go. I provide some reflective questions that will help you gain clarity about what you want at this point in your journey so you know how to move forward and get momentum going.
Yes - another rebrand! Listen in to hear all about the evolution of my brand and where I want to go from here. I will rebrand as many times as my little heart desires so I hope you're along for the ride. My goal is to make as big of a positive impact on this world as I possibly can. This rebrand is all about dismantling society's expectations of the human body and focusing more on self-love and inclusivity. I don't know exactly where my path leads from here but we'll find out together!
Awareness is essential for being accountable in your own life. If we are not aware of changes we need to make and how our actions affect others, we are not being accountable and we are probably doing harm to others. Similarly, when we allow others to dictate how we live our lives, we are not being accountable either - we are giving away our power. Take back ownership over your own life and set yourself free.
Comparing ourselves to others is something that is deeply ingrained in us. In this episode, I discuss two major reasons why it is super harmful and actually prevents us from becoming who we want to be. We can choose to lift others up instead of comparing ourselves, and by doing this, we set ourselves free.
Starting your day with intention is a game changer. Whether it's 5 minutes or 2 hours, taking ownership over how your day begins will create a domino effect on your life like you won't believe. And don't worry if you're not a morning person, I address how to start your day intentionally without getting up at the crack of dawn.
We all have goals that are important to us but when we allow temptations or temporary pleasures to get in the way of creating long-term happiness, that is when we need to take a step back and reflect on what is really going on. In this episode, I discuss 3 tips that I use for myself and my clients that help to dig deep on what we truly want and how to overcome temptations that may get in our way.
Eating less is not always the way to go to hit your physique goals. In this episode, I talk about how under-eating calories can do more harm than good and can keep you from achieving your goals. I discuss several points of why eating more may be better for you physically and mentally and why we need more food to nourish and fuel our bodies.
We all claim certain things are important to us, but when the effort doesn't match the importance we are claiming, then there is not enough of an overlap to create change. In this episode, I share examples from my own life that I claim are priorities but my effort just isn't matching. I also go over how we can start to make an effort so they truly become priorities in our lives - without the burden of feeling overwhelmed or exhausted trying to do so.
If new year's resolutions never go the way you want, this episode is for you! Look at the "fresh start" through a different lens and you can change the way you show up for yourself and make 2023 the year you desire!
I felt compelled to just hit record and think outloud with this episode. Being less judgmental is something I have been working on for years. It is a tough habit to break as it seems ingrained in humans to judge what is different than us. But I am continuining down this never-ending journey to spread kindness and compassion instead of judgments. I hope you'll join me so we can make this world a better place.
This topic is such a passion of mine! It's all about the connection between fitness and mindset and how incorporating mindset into your fitness regime can be your key to success! This is the basis of my coaching and my business because it's what I truly believe in. If you don't believe in the mind-body connection yet, I think this episode will change your mind!
Let's learn to enjoy the holidays guilt-free! It is great to have goals and be diligent about working towards them but if you are not willing to let yourself have fun in life and you are missing out on so much because you are only focused on your nutrition or your fitness or losing weight, then you are missing out on joy! In this episode, I talk about how we can rewire this mentality and just enjoy ourselves.
So often people are stuck in the "tomorrow" mentality of waiting for the right time to start making changes in their lives. In this episode, I discuss how there is never a right time and how starting today will help create a compound effect of positive changes.
Having an "off" week doesn't need to be filled with guilt and shame. In this episode, I talk about my recent "off" week and how I'm choosing to look at being in a funk from here forward so that I'm learning to embrace it instead of resist it.
Let's talk self-talk! In this episode, I discuss how negative self-talk can keep us stuck in a certain mindset that prevents us from moving forward. I give suggestions on how to rewire negative self-talk into positive self-love so that we are not stuck in the past versions of ourselves while we are trying to move forward. We all can practice more self-love on a daily basis!
In this episode, I chat about the difference between making excuses so that you are not prioritizing yourself versus being unable to keep up with extremes physically and mentally that cause you to feel like you are making excuses. There is a big difference between excuses and extremes so listen to this episode if you want to overcome both!
If you rely on motivation to try and hit your goals and that hasn't been working out too well for you, then give this episode a listen! Learn to ditch motivation and you'll get so much further.
This episode will kickstart your week with a fresh dose of accountability! It's all about our willingness to look within in order to be accountable for any change we want to make in our own lives.
