    Someone else can organise the Christmas dinner this year, because you deserve a f*****g break. This time of year is so focused on social plans, parties and tradition. I am here for all of it. But it’s also so easy to do way too much for everyone else and end up neglecting yourself in the process. In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 principles (plus a bonus tip) to help you enjoy the festive period feeling present, connected and having tons of fun, without over-functioning, without people pleasing and without burning out. In this episode: Decide what you actually want and what you care about this seasonPut yourself in your calendar first and plan aheadDefine your version of enough, and your permission slip to say noDon’t be afraid to question traditionDon’t over-function, and ask for help (time, energy and money)Bonus tip: make space to reflect on the year and celebrate itFree 3 day live challenge: Her Next ChapterStarts Mon 30th Nov, 7:30pm UK time, live on Zoom.

    STOP! & Give Yourself Credit for How Far You’ve Come This Year

    FREE CHALLENGE SIGN UP > https://www.khorrocks.com/chapter Have you actually given yourself credit for how far you’ve come this year? I mean properly sat down, looked back and celebrated what you’ve overcome, what you’ve learnt and who you’ve become. I’d bet most of you listening haven’t, because women are so guilty of not giving ourselves enough credit. This episode was inspired by a conversation with one of my clients. I was sending her the info for the new programme I’m launching in January, and I described the kind of woman it’s for: the one everyone looks at and thinks, “how does she do it all?” My client said she didn’t feel like that woman. So I reminded her how far she’s come this year alone, and she told me, “I don’t give myself enough credit.” That is so relatable, because it’s so many women. So today I’m talking about why we need to stop and look back before we start looking forward, especially as we head into the chaos of the end of the year. This one is going to make you feel pretty f*****g proud of yourself. In this episode The client moment that inspired it, and why so many women can’t see how far they’ve comeThe 10 minute exercise: look back through your calendar, diary or to-do list and see what you’ve actually done this yearWhy the end of the year is a golden opportunity to honour yourself, not just rush into the next thingThe balance between staying humble and having a “f**k yeah, I did that” momentWhy celebration and gratitude are such rich, fertile ground for manifestation, and why hustle energy keeps you at the foot of the mountainWhat pleasure-led planning is and why it’s here to stayWhy it’s easier for most of us to say what’s wrong than to say “I’m smashing it in these areas”Why doing this reflection on your own, in the busiest time of year, is harder than it soundsJoin me for Her Next ChapterThis is my brand new free 3 day challenge, starting 30 November. On day 1, in the first 20 minutes, we start this process together. All you need to do is show up with your journal and your pen, and I’ll guide you through the rest.

    A woman who knows what she wants is unstoppable: 3 ways to get clarity

    The number 1 word my clients use when they first start coaching with me is clarity. Clarity on what they actually want. Clarity on what to do next. Even clarity on who they want to be. If you’re feeling stuck right now, with a big decision to make, a career move you’re mulling over, or big goals for 2027 you can’t quite put pen to paper on, this episode is for you. In a 1 hour session I can help a woman untangle her thoughts like a giant ball of string. But there are things you can do in your own week to get clear, and I’m sharing 3 of them here. In this episode, I talk about: the one thing most of us reach for the second we’re alone (and why it might be keeping you foggy)why sitting with a notebook, waiting for the answer to arrive, might not be how it workswhy waiting for a lightbulb moment could be the very thing keeping you from clarity You might notice you’re neglecting one of these. You might notice you’ve already got one down and it’s carried you through a season where you needed a lot of reflection. A woman who knows what she wants is unstoppable. A woman who knows her full f**k yes from her full hell no is powerful beyond measure. Mentioned in this episode I’m building a brand new coaching programme that starts in January 2027.

    The Hardest 2 Months of My Life - Grief, Half Marathon + What's Next

    Trigger warning: This episode talks about grief, death and end of life care. Ladies, I haven't come on here for a proper chit chat in a while. So grab a coffee (or a glass of wine, no judgement) because this one is a catch up. 2026 has been the best and worst year of my life. I married Adam on 20 June. On 31 July, his mum Diane passed away after a brutal, fast battle with cancer. Same summer. Same year. The duality of life is real. In this episode, I'm sharing what the last 2 months have actually looked like. What we talk about: The highest high and the lowest low in the same summerThe story of coming home from Italy to see Diane, and why I believe she held on until we got backWhat it was like to be there in her final moments, and why it felt like a portalEasing back into work in September and finding the balance in grief (there is no right way to do it)The women in my community who showed up with voice notes, cards and flowers, and what that kinship in grief meant to meRunning my first half marathon on 4 October for The Christie, the cancer centre that treated Diane earlier in her lifeHow the race really went: under trained, quad cramps at 16.5km, electrolyte mistakes and hyperventilating over the finish line like a toddler mid tantrumRunner's flu, the lessons running has taught me about self belief and rest, and why I'm going back to parkrun for the next 6 monthsWhy the hardest moments can be fertile soil for what comes nextThe feeling I had in 2019 when I launched my first group programme, and why I'm feeling it again Big news: Something major is changing in my business in 2027. It feels like a fresh start. I'll announce it properly on the podcast next week. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll hear before then.

    What Season Are You In? Real Women's Takeaways From Put Yourself First Live

    In September, I hosted my 5th annual Put Yourself First Live, and this week I'm sharing the 3 biggest takeaways from the women in the room. In this episode, I cover: Knowing your season: why the season you're in (growth, rest, recovery, whatever it is) determines your capacity, your boundaries, and what you can realistically expect from yourself right nowThe power of guided reflection: why I'll keep banging on about looking back and celebrating how far you've come for decades to come, and how you can create that space for yourself even without an event to go toThe value of real community: what it means to be in a room (or an online space) full of women who just get it, and why putting yourself out there into new communities, even when it's uncomfortable, is so worth itI also share a little hint about something new coming in my world in 2027.

    You've Had the Lightbulb Moment. Now Do Something About It.

    This week I'm talking about the gap between understanding something and living it. Why that lightbulb moment feels so good, why it can leave you more frustrated when nothing changes, and the question I'm happy to be unpopular for asking every client. In this episode Why awareness feels so good (hello, dopamine) and why it's not the same as a shiftMy teacher's pet confession, and why even I'm not immuneHow the hardest working women can still get caught in thisWhy understanding your patterns can leave you more resentful and more stuckThe difference between knowing you're a people pleaser and embodying a woman who puts herself firstWhat a client told me about why she keeps coming back to work with meWhat women need instead of more to consumeWhy even I block out study days a month in advanceHow your habits decide what your life looks like in six monthsThe question to sit with Once you've had the reflection and the understanding, ask yourself: and now what are you going to do about it? Something big is coming I'm building something new, and it comes straight from everything in this episode. Sisterhood members will hear first. Everyone else, I'll announce it here at the end of October. Instagram is where you'll see it in real time, so make sure we're connected on there - https://www.instagram.com/kat_horrocks/

    Rebuilding Your Life When Everything's Changed

    This one's for the woman rebuilding herself right now. Maybe you're coming out the other side of grief, a breakup, a job loss, or just a proper existential "what the hell am I doing" moment. Maybe it's not an ending at all, maybe it's a beginning: a new place, a new job, a new chapter you didn't see coming. I'm sharing this from the middle of my own rebuild. Adam's mum passed away this summer after a short and brutal battle with cancer, and life has looked nothing like what we thought this year would be. I've been in proper survival mode. But I've turned a corner, and I'm ready to get my spark back. In this episode I'm talking about: Why the instinct to fill your diary with admin and plans isn't actually rebuilding anythingThe one question I asked myself (and Adam asked me) that cut straight through the overwhelmWhy trying to be everything to everyone right now is keeping you stuckThe two simple rituals I've gone back to that ground me before I even open my laptopWhy your alone time deserves the same reverence you'd give your closest relationship, and what happens when you skip itThe "f**k it" permission slip I'm giving you to be a bit more selfish for a whileIf you've been the one doing the most, the over-giver, the over-functioner, this episode is your nudge to put yourself first and fill your own cup back up. Comment on Spotify or DM me @kat_horrocks and tell me what you're taking into your own rebuild. - https://www.instagram.com/kat_horrocks/
