What a ripper of a chat with the absolute powerhouse that is Kath Essing. We met recently and within minutes I knew I had to get her on the show. Kath is real, warm, hilarious, and brave as hell. She’s just released her second book The Courage to Speak Your Truth, and in this convo, she opens up about what it took to get there. Remembering childhood trauma in her 20s, navigating the healing process (which she calls a total sh*t show), reporting her abuse, confronting her abuser, and working through it all to help others do the same.

We talked healing, sport, therapy (all of them), inner child work, punching pillows (or not), the joy of being fully honest, and how bloody hard but important it is to speak your truth. This one’s deep but somehow also full of laughs, swear words, and goosebumps. If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one carrying some heavy stuff... this ep is for you.
