The Kate Code

If you’re feeling stuck, like you’re living the same day on repeat, I want to share what these 30 days solo have taught me.

It’s so easy to get caught in the rat race. Working, paying bills, getting through the week… sometimes we’re so busy keeping everything going that we don’t stop to ask, “Do I actually like the life I’m living? What do I want?”

Being away on my own has been uncomfortable at times. But without all the usual distractions and other people’s opinions, I’ve had space to hear myself properly. What I enjoy. What I don’t. What I want more of, and what I’m ready to change.

Living alcohol-free, meditating and spending this much time with myself has helped me feel more connected to myself, to life, and to what I personally feel is something bigger than us. That feeling of being supported, even when I’m on my own, has been really powerful.

I haven’t suddenly figured everything out. But I’m coming home with a different perspective and more belief that I can choose how I want my life to look.

I know we can’t all disappear for 30 days. But I hope you give yourself some space, even a little, to step outside the loop and ask yourself what you really want. You deserve to give that question some attention.

I’m going to keep sharing this journey with you guys the uncomfortable bits as well as the beautiful ones. And I hope there’s something in it that helps you on yours. 🤍

Somewhere in Crete, on a lake, on my own, having a proper “f**k me… I’m actually doing this” moment. 🥹💙

Being here, on this lake in Crete, I felt proud of myself. For being fu***ng brave enough to come on my own. For following my curiosity. For giving myself the chance to feel this. For biking across mental roads ignoring my fear.

You don’t need a flight to find that feeling. Sometimes it’s going somewhere new by yourself. Trying the thing you’ve been thinking about but putting off.

There’s a quiet strength you build when you do things on your own. You learn to trust your decisions, work things out, and enjoy your own company. You start wondering what else you might be capable of.

I want more moments like this. I felt so alive, so fearless, so in the moment, where curiosity gets a say before I talked myself out of it.

Be that damn penguin. 🐧💙

There is a whole world out here. Change your perspective, change your life.

Trips like this make me chase my dreams even harder

My last week in Greece. How has a month gone that bloody quickly?

I needed this more than I even realised.

I’ve explored somewhere new every day, found beautiful places to swim, eaten in lovely restaurants on my own and got back on a scooter after nearly ten years. Also weathered the most horrendous storm completely by myself, Could’ve done without that bit 😂

At 44, it’s been lovely remembering how adventurous, spontaneous and fu***ng brave I am. I’m so proud of myself.
It’s easy to forget those parts of yourself when you’re caught up in work and life.

It’s so easy to get comfortable doing the same things, going to the same places, filling every day with work and whatever needs sorting. I forgot how much I missed waking up and thinking, where shall I go today?

But being here on my own has brought up something else too.

After my work when it’s just me I got that weird feeling of… right, what now?

At home, I’d go to the sauna/ gym. Another job. Something else to keep me busy. Here, I’ve mostly sat with it. Read, journaled, meditated.

I’ve started hearing myself a bit more clearly. What I want and need. What I miss. What I’m giving too much energy to.

I love routine, but turns out I need more freedom and adventure than I’ve been making room for. And I don’t want to keep filling every spare moment just because slowing down feels unfamiliar.

I’m incredibly grateful that I can do this. I’ve also worked fu***ng hard to get here, I really want to become more present and enjoy the life I’ve been working for.

I’ll be coming home ready to get stuck into the rest of the year, but I want to keep making space for this side of my life too. Thailand in December is looking tempting. I’d love to spend a month somewhere different two or three times a year.

I’ve absolutely loved my own company here. Even the slightly awkward bits.

Somewhere between getting lost, finding another swimming spot and sitting alone over dinner, I’ve remembered a version of myself I want to bring home with me. 🤍

Turns out I’m quite good company 🤣

Something I didn’t expect about coming away on my own is how strange it feels when you stop constantly consuming.

Wandering around the shops. Having a drink. Getting an ice cream. Finding somewhere else to eat. Picking up your phone. Always something to buy, taste, watch or do.

And some of you will read this and think, “F**k that, Kate. I’m on holiday.” 😂 Fair enough. I’m just sharing what’s coming up for me.

Because when you take away some of those distractions, there’s this awkward gap.

I’ve found myself wandering around here thinking… what am I actually supposed to be doing?

Surrounded by people enjoying their holidays, yet feeling slightly outside of it all. Almost like I’m standing on the edge of a bubble, looking in.

And it’s making me curious about that gap. That feeling I’m so quick to fill. What am I actually reaching for when I reach for something else?

So I’ve been journaling. Walking. Listening to things that help me understand myself. And spending some time without anything playing at all.

Sitting with the thoughts about coming home. About money. About what happens next. Letting myself feel uncomfortable without immediately finding something to take the edge off.

I’m also noticing that even a podcast can fill the silence. Sometimes I need to put that down too.

I want to find more ways to enrich and feed my body, mind and soul. Good food, movement, learning, connection, time in nature. I want to notice what leaves me feeling nourished and fulfilled, and make more room for it.

I haven’t suddenly worked everything out. Some days I feel peaceful. Other days I feel restless and a bit lost. But I’m starting to hear thoughts I usually drown out.

If you ever get the chance to spend a little time alone, with fewer distractions, I’d recommend trying it. Even if it feels bloody awkward at first.

I’m still on the edge of that bubble. Still curious about what’s on the other side.

For now, I’m giving myself enough quiet to find out.

Coffee. A 6am sunrise. A little balcony song

I’m putting so much into becoming the woman I want to be, but making sure she gets to have some bloody fun along the way. 🤣

I’ve worked really hard to challenge the limiting beliefs that kept me small and change how I live. The work is life on going.

But this morning, I’m letting myself enjoy where it’s brought me. Coffee in hand, watching the sun rise over Crete, feeling grateful that I get to be here.

This view deserved a moment. Apparently, it deserved a little dance too. 🤍

Taking life to seriously only leads to one direction and it’s not pretty. So today I challenge you.

Laugh. Dance. Be silly and watch how many souls that light energy effects

Love you 💙

“F**k. I used to picture this. Now I’m here.”

That was me this morning. Eyes open after meditation, looking out of my bedroom window at the sea in Greece.

For two weeks, I’d been tired, grumpy and distracted by the storms. Then it hit me: I was standing inside a life Id imagined this time last year

Sometimes you’re so busy getting through the day that you forget to look up and recognise how far you’ve come.

Meditation brings me back. To my calm. My vision. That part of me that knows fear doesn’t get to make every decision.

Because yes, I still get scared. Even with proof around me that I can change my life, the old doubts still turn up.

But you don’t have to become fearless before you begin. You can be scared and still choose differently.

Picture the person you want to become. How does she move? How does she look after herself? What does she make time for? What does she finally stop putting up with?

Then give her a say in what you do today.

Go for the walk. Look after your body. Keep that promise to yourself. Take the step you keep talking yourself out of.

You can have faith in a future you haven’t seen yet—and build it through the choices you make now.

I want this for you, too. Your own version of opening your eyes and thinking, “Bloody hell. I actually did it.”

You don’t need your whole future figured out. But you can decide today that your old patterns won’t keep choosing it for you. 🩵

Apparently Crete hasn’t had rain since May. I arrive, and within a few days we get the first proper storm of the season. Excellent timing from me. 😂🌧️

I did come for the sunshine, obviously. But I also came for the solitude. To spend some time with myself, figure out who I am away from everything familiar, and see how I handle the little challenges of being somewhere new.

Today’s challenge might just be getting out in this weather without losing my hat. But I’m here for all of it. The sunshine, the storms, and whatever I learn about myself along the way. 🤍
