We had a beautiful opening circle for The Divine Plan, and with it the quietly exciting launch of this True Business School, for creatives with heart who want to do business differently.
This month our focus is Divine Inspiration. What business will you create with Divine Inspiration? My experience has been a business in harmony with your True Nature and the Earth. A business that nourishes and brings peace, deep fulfilment and prosperity for ALL. A whole world away from the traditional business I built.
Business without heart and Inspiration
In a traditional business, without heart and inspiration, I was BUSY on trains, planes and in a different office each week as a global communications and PR director. I loved orchestrating, producing, achieving, believing I was making a difference. This hooked perfectly into my need to feel important. It also whipped me up into an over-stimulated frenzy with accompanying anxiety and the painful emptiness of withdrawal when I slowed down.
Business with heart and inspiration
In my True Business (led by heart and inspiration) my true nature as a pioneer is forefront. My office is outside in the warm, natural beauty of the Caribbean, my business attire a mismatched bikini. As I immerse deeper into my purpose of connection, creativity and community we are birthing a new way of being in business. There is flow and freedom. It can be exhilarating. Mostly it is calm with a healthy sense of curiosity. I’m still a little stunned business can be like this.

Many more women are feeling called to express their true voice. To speak up, stand up for what they believe in.
This can bring up fears and vulnerability as well as the opportunity to break old patterns of keeping quiet to avoid conflict and replacing with courage, learning to be with the discomfort of disagreement and growing your resilience.
We need women’s voices at the table, feminine wisdom opening up new pathways and ways of being. We need women reclaiming the basic human right to speak.
Have a listen to what women in Obama’s cabinet did to ensure their voices were heard – now known as The Shine Theory – which ultimately resulted in more women’s voices at the table.
How can you amplify women’s voices in your business and community?
If you’d like to grow your visibility and voice naturally join us for PR with Heart.
With all the ups and downs and uncertainty it’s easy to have emotional overwhelm, emotional spikes. And then decision making, focus, creating our business goes skewiff!
Blue Mind Medicine, time out with water, can help reset our nervous system so we can make decisions and create from a calm, connected, serene space.
Wallace J Nichols in his book Blue Mind provides research, stories and evidence explaining why we are happier, healthier and more connected by water. The blue, red, grey mind concept is a simple way of understanding the contribution of water to our mental health.
Blue Mind – calm, connected, serene, space for grace and inspiration, able to receive
Red Mind – action, decision making, anxiety, pushing, city
Grey Mind – burnt out, disillusioned, indifferent, depressed
Where are you right now?
The antidote to Red and Grey is BLUE – get to the Water.
Where is the nearest water body you can be with or get in?
If there isn’t one, visualise being under a waterfall cleansing any negativity, anything you no longer need away. Take a long bath with epsom salts, stand under your shower for a little bit longer and breathe.
I’m so grateful to the shade of the sea grape tree, dozing whilst listening to the waves and the peace.
Bring your nervous system, your focus, back to your calm, core centre, back to your heart and inspiration to create your business from here, from Source.
Much love, until next week. x x
PS You can listen to the True Business Podcast with Wallace J Nichols for some more Blue Mind inspiration for your business too.
As I stop, take a breath, listen, Life is inviting me to surrender more deeply, to be in the present moment, moment by moment. Let go of expectations, attachments to outcome, control, rushing and panicking and thinking I know how anything will play out.
We’ve been spending time at sunset watering the vegetable garden, watching for whales, listening to the Peace, watching a rare blood red sun set into the turquoise Caribbean Sea.
Life may be inviting you into new skills and learning? Perhaps it’s your time to paint, write, explore a new idea, be with your family. Perhaps it is to serve others? Perhaps it is simply to survive?
Rise up to meet it.
Let yourself be free to ride the wave of Life exactly as you are called.
Do let me know what opportunity Life is opening to you, beyond the fears?
Much love,
Kat x
Friends, family and clients have been reaching out, sharing that whilst there is so much rapid, external change, redirection and uncertainty it can be challenging to stay balanced, connected to our calm, clear wise heart.

Are you in harmony with the natural cycles of Nature, with your natural rhythms, or do you fight against Nature? Push yourself when you know you actually need to rest and rejuvenate?
True Business reveres Nature – it is sacred, inspiration, power.
The Water Lily has inspired me to close my business at dusk, to rest, to rejuvenate. I can have a bad habit of picking up work in the evening to finish off, send that invoice, edit that chapter. Watching the Lily close reminded me to go to the beach, walk, swim and close for the evening to rest.
This week…
.1. Schedule in time to be with Nature, to receive inspiration and flow.
.2. Close your business at dusk with the setting sun and the Water Lily.
.3. During your day notice the environment around you. Give your thanks to the plants, trees, flowers. 💕🙏🏻💕

Please stop with this BS that magic is found outside of your Comfort Zone.
This is magic for adrenaline junkies.
I played along with it for years and years.
For a longtime comfort was outside my comfort zone!
And yet I have found deep magic in connection with the divine, in peacefulness, in natural beauty, in the wilds of nature, floating in the Caribbean Sea looking up at the sun and the moon, the taste of a sweet mango straight from the tree, in skinny dipping with Trev under the full moon and shooting stars, in laughing with my niece and nephew, seeing kids having fun playing sport.
None of these gloriously magical moments are outside my comfort zone.
I used to be an outside your comfort zone junkie. It is fun to have your heart pounding at the mix of excitement and fear as you step over a threshold and do something new or something that challenges you. I used to do this so much that I was never in my comfort zone.
To intimate this is the place magic happens is BS.
Magic is natural beauty, is peacefulness, is wellness, is being free, is being in this one present moment.
Where’s your magic?
Create your True Business with Heart When I was working in traditional business as the global communications director for the Homeless World Cup, I wasn’t aware that I was disconnected from universal energy, source, our life force, nature. It was only when facing burn out, I turned to listen to the wisdom of my heart and it guided me to a month in Antigua. Here I walked barefoot on white sand, floated in the turquoise Caribbean Sea and ate mangoes from the tree. The life force of the island brought me back to life. Only then did I realise. Now it’s all about creating with this creative universal energy. Letting go of trying to work it out, get it relevant, right, perfect or contain and control it. This leads me back into anxiety, overwhelm, scattered. Instead it’s all about the dance. Listening, receiving, allowing, being with curiosity and wonder, letting go of any expectations. Whilst traditional business is cut off from our life force, nature, from this universal energy it will continue to hurt us and our planet. We need a new business model where we create with this universal energy. It leads us from stress, exhaustion, fears of survival, greed, devastation and destruction into regeneration, harmony, wellness, vitality, peacefulness, freedom, expansion and a new world of possibility. This is True Business. I’d love to invite you further into the dance with this universal energy in business, to explore and embrace the wisdom and creativity of your heart with a Live Webinar, Podcast, Online Course and Antigua Retreat coming up. Take your pick and please do share with your friends too. Free Live Webinar Create your True Business with Heart 22 August 2019, 8pm UK / 3pm NY / 12pm LA.

“The greatest gift from True Business has been simplicity. It has allowed my offerings to emerge and they are all things I never thought I’d be able to do as work. Photography and taking people into Nature feel so obvious as they are part of me. The business I needed to bring to the world has now been allowed to emerge.”
Edward Pike, Spiritual Mentor, Photographer & Writer“A really big “thank you” for all the hard work and dedication you put in to the Homeless World Cup and for the way in which you have helped to change the lives of thousands of people through football.”
Rio Ferdinand, FootballerBy following the wisdom of her heart, Step created her True Business: “Your invitation to sit with the new vision of working with men during PR with Heart, Kat, opened up and clarified the direction for my work.”
Steph Magenta, Breathwork Facilitator and Teacher“My PR plan became the creative, energetic heart of my project. What emerged was surprising, energising, and far larger than I expected. This has given me the courage to do effortlessly what I previously believed would be challenging. I cannot recommend Kat more highly. She is world-class.”
Simon Haas, author, The Book of Dharma“Kat prodded my intuitive thinking into reality. I created a better working space and products and generated more income for my business.”
