Q & A with Catherine

What do I think the world needs more of?

I think the world needs more compassion; not just for others but towards ourselves too.  One of the biggest lessons I think we need to learn in life is we are enough.  We’re good enough, we’re smart enough, pretty enough, handsome enough and just enough enough. 

At Mind Matters of course we’re here to mentor others in business and life to create and develop a high performance mindset but most importantly to ensure we also realise and create thought patterns that on any given day we believe we are enough.

In my own moments of adversity or self-doubt what is my go-to to lift myself up?

I have a very science based background in psychotherapy, biochemistry and neuroscience, psychology but we’re all human! I’m also very in-tune with soul based mastery so when you mix the two it’s life mastery on steroids!

As I often say though, the only constant is change and whether that’s good or bad change, life’s natural ebbs and flows will always throw new challenges and curve balls. We just have to learn how to navigate and master our reactions to it.

My go-to is getting out into nature, grounding myself and channeling the energy of life beneath and above and checking in what’s good for my soul.  I practice the art of breath that allows me to breathe in life and breathe out or exhale the energetic patterns of negative thoughts, feelings and attitudes that are triggering my negative emotions.  It’s incredibly powerful and believe me once you have created these reinvigorating habits you find that those feelings of adversity come and go very quickly and with ease.  It’s incredibly liberating and freeing.

What are some of my own traits I’m proud of?

I’m nothing if not resilient! 

I’m obsessed with mastering the multiplicity of our true powerful nature because I have first hand experience, as well as mind blowing experiences watching others transform and shift their own lives. My work is not just my work; it is my purpose and my calling to help others live a more meaningful, connected and sustainable harmonious life. I couldn’t be more grateful that this is what I was called to do.
