  Bonus Episode: For Every Woman Who Has Treated Her Personal Growth Like A Checklist

  Aug 18, 202617 minS1

  In this episode, Katie invites listeners into the heart of her 12-week signature group program, Fully Expressed , a journey designed to help women stop self-silencing and start showing up with more truth, confidence, and ease. It is a candid and encouraging invitation for women who are ready to stop shrinking themselves, stop waiting for permission, and start living as the version of themselves that already knows the way forward. The central message is simple but powerful: this work is not about becoming someone different - it’s about becoming more of who you already are. Katie explores the patterns that keep women stuck in people-pleasing, overthinking, perfectionism, and constant self-editing, and explains how those habits can quietly shape relationships, decision-making, and self-trust over time. She walks listeners through two key phases of the program: Phase 1: Relationship with yourself Unpacking the protective patterns that once kept you safe, and learning how to back yourself in small, everyday moments. Phase 2: Relationship with everyone else Bringing that inner shift into real life through clearer communication, honest boundaries, and speaking up without spiralling into apology or second-guessing. This episode is for anyone who has been treating personal growth like a checklist, only to realise that ticking boxes hasn’t changed how they actually live. If you’ve been quieting yourself to keep others comfortable, this conversation is your invitation to pause, reflect, and choose something different. Key themes People-pleasing and self-silencing Overthinking and perfectionism Boundary-setting without guilt Self-trust and intuition Speaking up with clarity Taking up space in relationships and life Notable takeaways Becoming “fully expressed” starts with learning to trust yourself. Your protective patterns made sense once - but they don’t have to run your life now. You don’t need permission to want what you want. The relief of living more authentically can feel bigger than expected. Katie invites listeners to join Fully Expressed , her 12-week group coaching program, and take the next step toward becoming more visible, more honest, and more fully themselves.

  Episode 47: Guest Episode - From Solo Parenting to Reality TV, Love and the Panic Attack that Changed Everything

  Aug 16, 20261 hourS1

  Katie Murray speaks with Brooke about the wild, pressure cooker experience of going on the reality TV show 'House Rules', the fallout of being judged on reality TV, and the long arc of learning to trust herself. Brooke also shares how motherhood, relationships, burnout, and a major career pivot led her from mainstream teaching into founding Ground.Ed by Brooke, where she now uses horticulture and therapeutic gardens to support children and families. In this episode, Brooke talks candidly about the cost of being seen publicly, what it was like to be edited into a “hard ass” persona, and how she learned to separate other people’s opinions from her own identity. The conversation also explores the shift from rigid control to curiosity, from survival mode to self-trust, and from burnout to a more values-aligned life. Key Topics: Katie and Brooke discuss the difference between having an opinion and needing to express it every time Brooke shares how becoming a mum at 20 changed the way she used her voice and how she parented with more caution The conversation explores the tension between rescuing others and allowing people, including children, to own their own choices Brooke reflects on growing up with a strong voice, but also learning that maturity means filtering and speaking with more care They discuss friendship, authenticity, and why Brooke has always preferred a small circle of close, honest relationships over a large social group Brooke opens up about her time on House Rules, including the pressure cooker environment, the travel, the home renovation, and the media backlash afterward She shares how social media trolling affected her partner more than her, and why she learned to separate strangers’ opinions from her identity Brooke talks candidly about relationships, safety, and how a later relationship with a woman helped her understand vulnerability and emotional honesty She explains how years of suppressing stress in a demanding school leadership role eventually led to panic, depression, and a full reset “If you have a chance to put your hand up, put it up. No one’s gonna put it up for you.” Brooke Schiebel Resources: Groundedbybrooke Free Resources through Katie Murray Coaching Ways to Work with Katie Connect with Katie: Email: info@katiemurraycoaching.com.au Say hi to Katie on Instagram Connect with Brooke: Instagram Website Action items Ask yourself whether you’re speaking from empowerment or from habit Notice where you’re rescuing others instead of letting them own their path Get curious about why you want what you want Trust your gut when something feels off Let rest become part of your routine, not just a reward after burnout

  Episode 45: Client Episode - Burnout to Purpose: Carissa's Story

  Aug 2, 20261 hourS1

  In this episode of To Our Core, Katie sits down with client and guest Carissa for a powerful conversation about growth, identity and what it really means to step into self-leadership. Carissa opens up about the season of life that led her to coaching: postpartum burnout, overwhelm, and a deep sense of numbness while balancing motherhood, partnership, work, and the many responsibilities she was carrying. What started as a free connection call became the beginning of a 12-month transformation rooted in honesty, discomfort, and a willingness to challenge old patterns. Together, Katie and Carissa explore: How Carissa first found Katie through word of mouth and social proof The moment Katie named exactly what she offers and why that mattered The difference between holding many responsibilities and wearing “many hats” People pleasing, control, martyrdom, and validation as hidden patterns Why honest feedback can be an act of respect The contrast between one-to-one coaching and group coaching How certainty in self changes the way we handle uncertainty What Carissa now believes is possible for her future This conversation is full of honest reflection, mindset shifts, and practical leadership lessons for women who are ready to stop surviving and start leading themselves with more clarity, devotion and choice. Key takeaways: You do not need to be everything to everyone. The language you use about yourself shapes your reality. Coaching can uncover the root cause, not just the surface behavior. Self-leadership begins when you choose yourself without apology. Growth often comes through discomfort, not control. If this episode resonated with you, it’s a reminder that your life can shift at any point when you decide to choose differently.
