Get to know yourself. And give that person a say in how you live.

A life not lived as who you are is one of the top 5 regrets of the dying

Here’s a stat that should stop you in your tracks: when people are dying, one of the top 5 things they say they regret most isn’t a job they didn’t take or a person they didn’t call. It’s that they didn’t have the courage to live as themselves. Not someone else’s version. Theirs.

Sit with that for a second. Not “I wish I made more money or spent time looking on social media.” “I wish I hadn’t spent my one life being someone I’m not.”

That’s what Authentic is for.

This is my signature program for women who are sick of performing, editing, shrinking, and managing themselves into a version of a person that’s easier for everyone else to be around. It’s mapped out to help you catch yourself doing it, understand why you do it, and come home to who you actually are before you’re on your deathbed wishing you had.

Nobody wakes up one day and decides to stop being themselves. It happens in moments repeated over time.

You can be very good at meeting expectations and still feel disconnected from yourself. You know what keeps everyone happy. What makes you dependable. What gets you approval.

But what do you want? What matters to you now? And how much room does that get in your actual life?

Authentic is my self paced program for women who want to understand themselves, work with the patterns that hold them back and practice living more honestly.

Through guided teachings, meditation, movement and a shit tonne of reflection, we explore the space between who you are and who you’ve learnt to be.

authentic the program will be good for you if …

  • You’re done with not feeling like yourself.
  • You don’t like who you’ve become.
  • You give way too many f*cks about what people think of you.
  • You’re done holding yourself back for all-the-reasons!
  • You no longer want to look in the mirror and wonder, “where am I, where have I gone?”
  • You simply cannot do another day not being you.
The weird shit we do to not be ourselves

Let’s get real specific, because avoidance is sneaky and it wears a lot of disguises. See if any of these are you:

You get “busy” on purpose. Not because your life actually requires it, but because a full calendar means you never have to sit still long enough to ask yourself what you actually want. Busy is a brilliant hiding spot.

You become a chameleon. Different you at work, different you with your mother, different you with your friends, different you online. Exhausting much?

You pick fights with the good ones. The safe person, the steady relationship, the thing that’s actually working and you find something wrong with it. Because being truly seen and truly loved is terrifying.

You numb out. Wine, scrolling, sugar, shopping, overworking, overexercising, whatever your particular flavour is. Feeling your actual feelings means facing the gap between who you are and who you’ve been pretending to be.

You say yes and it’s a clear no. Then you go home and quietly resent everyone involved, including yourself, especially yourself.

None of this makes you damaged. It makes you a person who learned to survive by disappearing a little at a time. But surviving and living are two very different games, and I’d bet money you’re ready to stop just surviving.

Why it actually matters

Here’s the bit people skip past because it’s uncomfortable, so let’s not skip it.

You don’t get this life again. Not this body, not this shot, not this version of you. And the research on regret is brutally consistent. It’s not the risks people took that haunt them at the end. It’s the risk they didn’t take: the risk of letting themselves be fully, embarrassingly, unapologetically seen as who they are.

Not being you isn’t a neutral choice. It’s not “playing it safe.” It has a cost, and the cost is your actual life, the one where you feel at home in your own skin, where your relationships are with the real you instead of the act you put on, where you’re not spending your precious energy managing an image instead of living.

This matters. You being you, right now, isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the whole point.

When was the last time you truly, felt like YOU?

This is where Authentic The Program
can serve you

The aim of the game here is to bridge the gap between who you are and who you think you have to be.

You will work through course material that is carefully mapped out at a steady pace, delivered via video tutorials, audios, meditations, journalling prompts and specific exercises.

These are the fundamental teachings to help you be you, and work with the part of you that resists being you.

Imagine …

Somewhere in your future is a version of you who’s grounded, who knows herself, who’s connected to her own gut instead of everyone else’s opinion and who is so unapologetically real it practically radiates off her.

Imagine how good that must feel. Imagine her navigating her own mind, her own triggers, her own patterns, and actually choosing how she wants to show up instead of defaulting to who she thinks she has to be.

Now imagine never meeting her. Imagine she just… stays hypothetical. Stays “maybe one day.” That’s the actual tragedy here not that it’s hard, but that it’s avoidable, and so many people avoid it anyway.

If you want to give her a shot at being real, this is your invitation.

Don’t take my word for it …

Ever noticed how the part of you that wants change can be followed very quickly by the part with seventeen reasons why it’s a terrible idea?

We begin by exploring the ego, the beliefs and familiar ways of protecting yourself that can influence your choices. You’ll get curious about where your patterns come from, what brings them up and how they play out in everyday life.

The aim is to recognise resistance and learn ways to work with it. You can understand why a pattern developed and still choose to practise something different.

What feels true to you when you give yourself enough space to listen?

Through movement, dance, qi gong, meditation and reflection, you’ll explore your relationship with yourself and what matters to you. The End of Life meditation invites you to step back and consider how you want to spend the life you’re living now.

You’ll clarify your values and explore how to give them a place in your decisions. Including the small, ordinary ones that are very easy to dismiss and quietly add up to your life.

There will be days you feel clear and connected. There will also be days an old habit makes an enthusiastic comeback.

This module explores how to keep practising when life gets complicated. How to notice when you’ve drifted from yourself, work with what’s happening and return to choices that reflect what matters.

You’ll bring the teachings into your relationships, work and daily life, with room to learn as you go. A familiar reaction becomes something to understand and respond to. It doesn’t have to become a week of giving yourself shit.

How it works

Authentic is an online, self paced program organised into three modules. You’ll work through tutorials, audio teachings, guided meditations, journalling prompts and practical exercises, with movement woven into the learning.

You can access the material on your computer, tablet or phone. There are no live group calls, so you can make space for the work in a way that suits your life.

I encourage you to take your time. Pause when something lands. Revisit a practice. Try what you’re learning in a real conversation or decision before moving on.

Finishing a lesson is one thing. Giving yourself the chance to live it is where it gets interesting.

For the women who are done. Done with editing yourself to the point where you can’t even recognise yourself or look into your own eyes. Done with screwing yourself over and contorting yourself to make others lives easier who have zero interest in anyone other than themselves. Done offering up your precious time and energy to those who benefit from your “saying yes” without even thinking about how this will affect you, syndrome. Done with living at a pace where you move through life so damn fast that you don’t even taste your food, your coffee, the morning air. Rushing to everywhere and everything acting all busy and that you’ve got no time. Done with being scared of what might show up for you, inside of you, worrying if people will still like if you are grounded, quieter, more still and say no to serve your wellbeing. Done holding yourself up to unrelenting standards, and others too! Done with saying that you want a real-ationship yet when a good egg comes along, you push them away and nit pick and find everything wrong with them. Done with being someone you think you have to be to be more likeable, palatable, acceptable, good and all the rest, where it’s costing you your freedom and stunting your expression.
You’ll learn how to navigate your ego, its thoughts and its patterns with greater presence, integrity and compassion. This will help you come back to your authentic self quicker as opposed to spending days, weeks or months ‘stuck’. You’ll befriend your ego rather than fight it or pretend it doesn’t exist. By understanding your past, why your ego is the way it is, you’ll understand why it’s flaring up and how to tend to it with powerful tools. You’ll be shown a number of practices and tools that’ll remind you how simple it is to come back to your real self. You’ll be guided on how to live with the ego AND your true self without the need to get rid of one. You’ll learn to accept and navigate both parts of you.
You can be new to the work, absolutely. The pre-requisite for this program is that you are ready to be accountable and responsible for your life and your future. It is beneficial to have awareness around your past and how it links to where you are at now. If you are seeking me to save, rescue, motivate or do the work for you to change your life, then respectfully, I am not your Coach.
Great question! You’ve done the courses, read the books, maybe even had some breakthroughs along the way. But here’s the thing: knowing something and living it are two very different things. Authentic The Program is designed to take what you know and turn it into a way of being. It’s not about piling on more information or ticking off another “self-help” box. It’s about uncovering what’s still keeping you stuck, breaking through the patterns that keep running the show, and reconnecting with the real you. If there’s even a small part of you still feeling out of alignment—like you’re living someone else’s life, overthinking, or holding back because you’re afraid to fully show up—then yes, this will be useful to you. Because this work isn’t surface-level. It’s about making the changes that actually stick and learning how to navigate your life with authenticity, no matter what comes your way. This isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being real. And if you’re ready to go there, this is the place to do it. Let’s take what you’ve learned and make it part of who you are.
Yes! This is open to anyone in any time zone, in any country.
If you choose a payment plan, your subscription will be billed one time each month for 4-months. Or, if you choose to buy the one-time payment you’ll be billed one time. If you are outside of Australia, please note that there will be exchange fees.

No group calls. This is a self-paced program that has been laid out carefully so you can follow it easily.

“I finally know who I am and who I’m not.”
For years I lived as the version of me that kept everyone else comfortable—saying yes when I wanted to say no, avoiding conflict, and playing small so I wouldn’t be ‘too much.’ I thought that’s just who I was. But this program showed me something different. I saw where those patterns came from, how I built them to survive and most importantly that they weren’t actually me. Now, I move through my days with a deep knowing of who I am. I don’t seek approval the way I used to. I trust myself in a way I never have before. And for the first time in a long time I feel free.

 

– Sarah M.

“I used to abandon myself. Now, I choose me.”
Before this program, I didn’t even realize how often I abandoned myself. I thought I was just being easygoing, or keeping the peace.’But underneath that, I was betraying myself over and over, staying silent when I had something to say, swallowing my needs, avoiding hard conversations because I was terrified of rejection. This experience cracked me open in the best way. I faced the beliefs that were running my life and looked at them in a new way. Now I set boundaries. I say what I mean. And I no longer make myself small to make others comfortable. That is the biggest gift I could have given myself.

 

– Emma T.

“I thought I had to be strong all the time.”
I came into this program exhausted—mentally, emotionally, and even physically. I had spent my entire life being the strong one, the one who had it all together, the one people relied on. I didn’t know how to let myself just be. But through this work, I saw how much of that was armour, how I had learned to be strong because, deep down, I was afraid no one would catch me if I wasn’t. The weight of that nearly broke me. This program didn’t just help me let go of that story—it helped me rewrite it. I am still strong, but not in the way I used to be. Now, my strength comes from being real, from letting myself be seen, from trusting that I don’t have to carry everything alone. That has changed my life.

 

– Marika D.

“This was the permission slip I didn’t know I needed.”
Somewhere along the way I stopped trusting myself. I outsourced my decisions, looked for validation and second guessed everything. I told myself I was ‘logical’ and ‘reasonable,’ but really I was scared to trust my own voice. This program gave me permission to come back to myself. To listen. To honor what I know instead of always searching outside of myself for answers. The shift wasn’t loud or dramatic—it was deep, steady, and undeniable. I walk differently now. I own my choices. And for the first time in my life, I feel at home in myself.

 

– Jasmine R.

“I hoped, but did not expect, to reclaim myself. But I did.”
And I see myself, my life and the people in it in a whole new light. I still can’t quite believe that I get to move through the world as this person for the rest of my days. That I get to live in my body as me, as who I truly am. I’m just so bloody grateful.

Thank you for creating this course, and being so authentically yourself in a way that creates such a beautiful space of safety for us to navigate the path in becoming our authentic selves. I’ll carry the tools you’ve shared with us for the rest of my life, and tell everyone I know that they need to find you. 
– Kahlia L.

    a word from your coach, kat john …

    I know how much energy it takes to keep being who you think you need to be. I also know the discomfort that can come with choosing differently, even when that choice feels right.

    These teachings are part of my own life and the work I share through coaching. I return to them because I’m still human, still changing and still capable of getting in my own way.

    I created Authentic to give you guidance you can practice with. Something to return to as you learn more about yourself and how you want to live.

    You’re allowed to take that seriously. You’re also allowed to enjoy getting to know yourself.
