Welcome back, Wanderers!

After a long break, Kat returns with one of the most vulnerable, unscripted, and thought-provoking episodes to date. This week, she opens up about where she’s been, the intense personal exploration she’s been navigating, and the huge questions that have been emerging in her life.

If you’re interested in spirituality, faith, consciousness, or simply understanding your own beliefs more deeply, this is a powerful episode to sit with.

In This Episode, Kat Shares:

✨ Life Updates & Personal Growth

• Her journey toward qualifying as a functional health practitioner and mindset/life coach
• Burnout, shifting purpose, and stepping away from the polished online façade
• Returning to a raw, honest, “no-BS” version of herself and the show
• How a profound experience in 2021 opened her to synchronicities, intuition, and metaphysical phenomena
• The “previously untold” details: lights flickering in patterns, unexplained orbs, heightened senses, and more
• Why she no longer worries about judgment when sharing her story

Kat dives deep into a range of perspectives that have crossed her path recently, including:

Kat dives deep into a range of perspectives that have crossed her path recently, including:




• Spiritual manifestation and mindset work — what worked, what didn’t

• Investing in self-growth — the wisdom, the pitfalls, and the debt that followed

• Religion & faith — how a friend’s devotion to God and Jesus opened new questions

• Kabbalah teachings — themes of light, love, and connection




Conspiracy theories & alternative worldviews

• The idea of hidden power structures
• Theories about the nature of reality
• Why she approaches these claims with curiosity rather than certainty

  
  

  Throughout the episode, Kat emphasises discernment, self-reflection, and the importance of grounding curiosity in personal truth—not fear, not dogma, and not blind belief.

  
  

  “What if all of it is real—at least in part?”

  Kat explores the possibility that different traditions, spiritual experiences, metaphysical concepts, and human stories may each hold fragments of truth.




Rather than choosing a single path, she invites listeners to stay open, think critically, and examine what resonates with their own lived experience.




Kat reminds listeners that your energy never lies, and the deepest truths often come from within.

In today's episode of The Wellbeing Wanderer Podcast Kat is joined by Shauna Moran — a systemic team coach and executive coach who specialises in workplace burnout prevention.

Shauna’s work comes from lived experience: after multiple burnouts in her own corporate career she went back to study psychology, qualified as an executive coach, and wrote The Book of Managing Employee Burnout (2021).

In this frank, practical conversation we peel back and unpack what burnout really is, how it shows up in the body and the workplace, why self-care alone won’t solve systemic stress, and practical steps for leaders and individuals to reduce chronic workplace harm and reclaim wellbeing. Evidence, nervous-system tools and real, usable ideas.

If you are a leader and care about showing up better for the people and work you love or you are experiencing burnout, tune in, this episode is for you

Key points covered:

• What burnout actually is: WHO classifies it as an occupational phenomenon caused by chronic, prolonged workplace stress that hasn’t been successfully managed.

• How burnout shows up: Emotional and physical exhaustion, cynicism/withdrawal, sleep disruption, drop in cognitive clarity — and long-term risks like depression.

• Five stages of burnout (overview): honeymoon → onset of stress → chronic stress/withdrawal → habitual burnout; later stages are harder to recover from.

• Three Pillars to Burnout Reduction (Shauna’s framework):

  • Individual pillar: personal regulation, boundaries, non-negotiables, self-care practices and personal development.

  • Leadership pillar: leaders’ behaviours, unfair treatment, psychological safety, and leaders’ ability/skill to support teams.

  • Organisation pillar: systemic factors — workload design, meetings culture, role clarity, resourcing and processes.

• Unmanageable workload is a major root cause: realistic timelines, role clarity and resource gaps drive burnout — rest alone won’t fix a systemic workload problem.

• Use data to advocate for change: track actual hours, task lists and time spent to move conversations from “I feel overwhelmed” to evidence-based requests for resources or reprioritisation.

• Self-care vs systemic change: self-care helps regulate you but is not a cure when chronic stressors remain — organisations must change systems, not only tell individuals to cope better.

• Nervous-system & neuroscience work: Shauna blends neuro-science (how we form new patterns), polyvagal theory and nervous-system regulation to help leaders and teams create safety and better decision-making.

• Practical personal practices Shauna uses: daily self-ratings (mental clarity, emotional state, physical energy, spiritual connection) to tune into needs and plan the day.

• Leadership, vulnerability & duality: leaders showing appropriate vulnerability and processed regulation model resilience — you can hold multiple realities (joy + grief) at once.

• Concrete steps for people in high-pressure roles (doctors, nurses, NHS contexts): collect workload data, ask for prioritisation, propose specific resource solutions (hire/delegate/prioritise), and create short-term plans while longer hires are arranged.

On today’s guest episode of The Wellbeing Wanderer Podcast, Kat sits down with intuitive wayfinder and soul guide, Colby Wilk, for a deeply nourishing and thought-provoking conversation about healing, soul alignment, and what it truly means to remember who you are.

Together, they explore the unique challenges empaths and highly sensitive people face on the path to wellbeing, why traditional methods often fall short, and how real transformation comes from tuning into your body and soul—not striving for outside validation. Colby shares practical insights on how to access inner stillness, stop chasing awakening, and start listening to the wisdom already within you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, disconnected from your purpose, or unsure of what’s next, this episode is your gentle nudge back home to yourself.

In this powerful episode, we explore:

• Why healing is about remembering, not fixing
  The clarity you seek is already within—it's about slowing down and reconnecting to who you truly are.

• How empaths and HSPs need a different healing path
  Traditional self-help advice often misses the mark for sensitive souls. Real transformation comes from within.

• The soul’s role in guiding your life
  Your soul isn’t steering you randomly—it’s helping you evolve into who you were always meant to be.

• Stillness as the gateway to clarity
  Whether it's through meditation, movement, or laughter, calm and elevated states help you tune into your truth.

• Why you can’t chase awakening
  Spiritual growth happens through rest and allowing—not through force or striving.

• The impact of energetic connection
  Being around soul-connected people helps reinforce your own connection and clarity.

• Trusting your body’s wisdom
  Your body knows what’s aligned. Learning to listen to it is key to living in flow.

  
  

✨ Plus, Colby shares a free gift to help you begin connecting with your soul’s path.

Welcome to another transformative solo episode of The Wellbeing Wanderer Podcast — and this one’s extra special. Why? Because something huge just happened. ..

Our community has exploded with thousands of new listeners, and I am beyond grateful. But with this milestone came a deep, personal revelation — one that just might change the way you think about happiness, purpose, and how you're living right now.

In this episode, I peel back the layers on what it truly means to stop chasing happiness and start living it. If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll be happy when…”, this one’s for you. It's raw, it's real, and it might just be the reminder you didn’t know you needed.

🔑 Key Episode Takeaways

• Big Life Update: Thousands of new listeners joined the community — thank you for helping this dream become a reality.

• Living in "Lack": The trap of waiting for happiness in the future ("I'll be happy when...") keeps us in a state of lack and low vibration.

• Happiness Is Now: True happiness doesn’t come from achieving goals — it starts with appreciating where you are, right now.

• Mind vs. Intuition: You can’t always trust your mind — it’s wired to protect, not empower. Your intuition/instinct and body are often more truthful guides.

• The Power of Presence: Stillness and tuning inwards — even for just a few minutes — can shift your energetic state and unlock peace.

• Rewriting the Narrative: You can't always control your first thought, but you can choose your second. Happiness is a choice in each moment.

• Meditation Myths Debunked: Meditation isn’t about a blank mind. It’s about creating space between you and your thoughts — a powerful daily reset.

• Gratitude as a Gateway: A consistent gratitude practice grounds you in the present and opens the door to deeper joy.

• The Illusion of Control: Let go of attachment to outcomes. When you're energetically free, you become a magnet for what you want most.

• Coaching Invitation: For those seeking deeper transformation, one-on-one wellbeing coaching is open — a safe space to heal, grow, and rise.
