You built a successful life, followed the rules, and did everything "right" - so why do you still feel disconnected from your true self?In this conversation with Kat John, we unpack authentic living, why we abandon ourselves to keep the peace, and how to stop performing for the approval of others.Kat wrote the book ‘Authentic’, runs the Zero F*cks Movement, and you'll feel every part of her story in your chest.You'll hear Kat's deeply personal journey through childhood trauma, six years of chronic pain, brain surgery at 23, and the single question from her neurologist that ended her pain in 10 months. We also get into the daily practice that rewired her body, the trap of weaponising "authenticity" once you find it, and the body-based check Kat uses the second she walks into any room.By the end, you'll have a clearer way to drop the mask, trust your gut, and feel at home in your own skin again.Tune in to hear aboutWhat authenticity really means in everyday lifeWhy people-pleasing can become a survival strategyHow childhood trauma can shape self-worth, relationships, and safetyKat John’s experience with chronic pain, brain surgery, and mental healthWhy high-achieving women often feel empty despite external successHow to be authentic while still honouring your relationships, responsibilities, and family lifeKey moments:-👉About Kat JohnKat John is an authenticity coach, speaker, and international author of “Authentic: Coming Home to Your True Self” - whose podcast has racked up over 2 million downloads worldwide.
