Hey everyone!
My name is Kat, and I have decided – finally – to start a blog. I’ve been putting it off for years now because I never think I have time to write, or that I have anything to write about that hasn’t already been written about, or that I should be working on my business, or that I’m not sure if I want to put my private thoughts out there etc. etc.
Basically, I have come up with a lot of EXCUSES!
I love writing, and I’m doing lots of interesting things and it will be nice to have a record of my journey as I continue to grow into the woman I want to become – whether anyone else reads it or not!
Some background on me for those of you who don’t already know me – and even for those of you who do. I am Kat and I am 27 years old. I have my own business SunshineSquared which has been, to date, a PR and marketing agency called Sunshine PR but I have begun a rebrand recently. My current mission is to decide exactly what it is that I want to do with my business and what really sets me alight. 
You catch me at a bit of a crossroads actually – as I write this I am on the cusp of going 100% all in with my business, having realised that being “employed”, even part-time, does not suit me. I have also just moved to Liverpool, joined a group course and hired a business coach. I have big goals that I have been slowly working towards over the last year. Well, actually, slowly isn’t strictly accurate. Six months ago I was a part-time receptionist living in a shared house that felt very temporary, with a large amount of debt and an even larger amount of emotional baggage. I worked every hour that I physically could (something that is a habit I am still trying to get past) and had occasional panic attacks and a persisting fear about leaving the house.
A year before that, well, I couldn’t even tell you who I was, where I was day to day or what I was doing. But that’s an old story, one I no longer choose to identify with.
From the outside, my life/career (these have been pretty much interchangeable until recently) has looked pretty successful and even, at times, glamourous. Flying all over the world, international business calls, 18 hour days, gala dinners and luxury hotels, running my own businesses, appearing on Channel 4 TV series’, award ceremonies… all in all, incredible experiences for someone of my age.
But I was, and am still, ready for a change. And part of that includes, to use a very over-used phrase in the world of business coaching, showing up authentically. I am ready to stand up and say this is me, take it or leave it. I am ready to share my highs and lows, both personally and in my business. I am ready to talk about some of the experiences that have brought me to this point and hopefully help some others in the process. And above all, I am ready to share my passions, experiments and interests as I explore how to live my best possible life!
This blog will include tips, guides and failures in my pursuit of a healthy body, mind and soul and a successful business which will allow me to travel, eat and live on my own terms. And believe me, if I haven’t already tried it, I’m sure it’s on my list! Considering eating nothing but potatoes? Been there. Want to know if your chakras are blocked… or if you even have chakras? So do I! Fancy taking off to Central America by yourself? This solo female traveler can give you some recommendations!
So what do you say? Ready to join me on this crazy journey and discover how to live your best life? It’s going to be a good ride at the very least!
Peace and love,
Kat
