The Layers & Baggage We Carry

The Weight of Downplaying Who You Are

Have you ever felt like you've somehow fooled everyone? This week, Kate unpacks imposter syndrome, why we struggle to own our place in the world, dismiss our achievements, and find it so difficult to believe we deserve to be celebrated.

The Weight Behind the Mask

Meet the mask. The one that smiles when you're hurting, laughs when you're exhausted and tells everyone you're "fine." This week, Kate explores why so many of us hide what we're really carrying, and why we don't always have to carry it alone. Because behind every mask is a human being carrying something.

The Unwanted Heckler

Meet our unwanted heckler: self-doubt. The one that roasts us, questions us and occasionally convinces us we've forgotten our own seat number. Join Kate as she explores the voice that tells us we're not enough – and why we don't have to believe everything it says.

Clocking in with Baggage

Episode 7: Clocking in with Baggage We don't leave our baggage at the door when we clock in. In this episode, Kate talks about the invisible weight of work, the pressure to keep smiling when life feels heavy, and why so many of us struggle to switch off long after we've clocked off. From people-pleasing and emotional labour to carrying workloads, worries and everyone else's problems, this is a conversation about the layer of ourselves we take to work every day. If you've ever spent a weekend worrying about Monday, felt overwhelmed by responsibility, or carried more than your fair share, pull up a chair. You're among friends.

The Weight of Words

"Can we talk later?" Four innocent words. Forty-seven catastrophic scenarios. In this episode, Kate dives into overthinking, the art of turning tiny comments into emotional luggage, and why our minds so often sprint towards the worst possible conclusion. With honesty, humour, and a few painfully relatable stories, she explores the weight words can carry, and how we can start putting some of that weight down. If your brain loves writing disaster stories before the facts arrive, pull up a chair. You're among friends.
