How authenticity can help you cope with Christmas chaos

Penguin Australia 2 mins read

With less than two months until Christmas, many are bracing themselves for the stress and chaos of the festive season, which can lead to overwhelm as people try to squeeze every bit of Christmas magic, socialising, work deadlines and family commitments into the last few weeks of the year.

Author Kat John says authenticity can help anyone deal with overwhelm at this time of year. Why? Because it means connecting with the true version of yourself, and making decisions that honour what's really important to you - rather than trying to please others. 

Kat is a Melbourne-based author (who also regularly travels to Sydney) and her new book is Authentic - coming home to your true self.

Kat is available for interviews and is great talent and experienced in giving live radio interviews.

Full details of Kat's book are below: 

An inspiring and relatable one-stop guide to living this one life as your authentic self, from leading authenticity coach Kat John. 

In her teens and twenties, Kat John was a gigantic people pleaser: a social chameleon with a habit for pushing herself too far. But despite appearances, inside she was plagued by self-hatred and low self-esteem, while struggling with drug addiction and an eating disorder. 

So when chronic nerve pain and unexpected brain surgery pushed her to question her very existence, Kat realised it was time to be real and honest with herself. And now she’s on a mission to help others do the same. 

In Authentic, Kat guides you through the stages and tools for accessing your authentic nature. 

Learn how to shake off the years of conditioning and compromising that have suppressed your unique intuition and values. 

Identify and overcome the threats to living life as your authentic self. 

Build self-compassion, deepen relationships and find profound fulfilment. 

This is a compelling and very real guide to living your authentic life, packed with relatable stories and practical advice. Your authentic self is there inside of you, buried somewhere. Your job – with this book’s help – is to locate it and set it free. 

TALKING POINTS 

Kat John is the host of the popular podcast Real, Raw, Relatable

Authentic is a practical guide to reconnecting with your inner self, reinforced with case studies from Kat's clients, and her own personal experiences. 

Kat launched the #zftuesday Instagram trend where every Tuesday people record videos of themselves dancing and letting loose. ZEROFKS has evolved into a movement of its own and Kat hosts four ZEROFKS dance events in Melbourne every year. 

Kat is an authenticity coach, and offers coaching for anyone who feels they've ventured too far from their true inner self. 

With our lives so steeped in social media and driven by consumerism, getting back to the heart of our true authentic selves has a new sense of urgency.
