Katrina Megget Coaching

I help empower people to believe in themselves so that they can become the people they want to be and achieve their goals and dreams.

I realised my mission is to point to the truth that we are stronger, more capable, more resilient and more awesome than we think we are after my transformational journey walking the 3,000km Te Araroa Trail down the length of New Zealand and seeing all the other walkers achieving incredible things.

I work with women and men who:
·        have big goals or dreams but who doubt themselves and feel held back
·        are at a crossroads and need direction, support or a non-judgemental sounding board
·        struggle to shake the feeling they aren’t good enough or feel they need more confidence
·        feel they have lost themselves or are exhausted being someone they’re not

Based on a year of having my own life coach exploring the inside-out understanding of life, coupled with my own transformational experience in the New Zealand backcountry and healing from an emotionally abusive relationship, my clients come away from our conversations with:
·        a greater sense of clarity and control over their lives
·        peace of mind, more confidence and self-compassion, as well as feeling happier    
·        a renewed energy and spirit for forging a new direction and creating the life they want

“Katrina is a very supportive, positive and inspiring coach. She will gently prompt you to challenge your thinking, helping you to uncover your own insights and solutions. Her coaching has been invaluable to me, and I highly recommend her to anyone considering either personal or career coaching.” Anna

Motivational Speaker

Freelance (Self employed)

As a freelance healthcare journalist and adventure travel writer, with 20 years’ journalism experience, I cover topics as diverse as outdoor adventure, the pharmaceutical industry, health, new medicines, scientific discoveries, chemistry, mental health and wellbeing, self-help and self-development.
 
My work has appeared in The Telegraph, Raconteur Reports in The Times, iNews, The British Medical Journal, Breathe Magazine, Men’s Fitness Magazine, Yachting Monthly, New Zealand Listener, North & South Magazine, New Zealand Wilderness Magazine, Outdoor Enthusiast, PharmaTimes Magazine, Pharmaphorum, Chemistry & Industry Magazine, and Chemistry World Magazine, among others.

Besides news and features, I also do ghost-writing and advertorials for a number of healthcare companies, as well as advise pharmaceutical media teams on the best way to interact with the media and promote their news.

Freelance Healthcare Journalist Adventure Travel Writer and Pharmaceutical Media Adviser

I love nature and I love the challenge of seeing what is mentally and physically possible in spite of all the doubts and fears we might be feeling. The result is often that we can achieve more than we think.

My adventures include:

·        Walking the 3,000km Te Araroa Trail down the length of New Zealand – I’d put it off for three years thinking I wasn’t good enough to do it but in walking the trail I learnt I was enough already. I’m currently editing my book on my transformational journey.

·        Sailing around the coast of Great Britain in a small yacht with my now husband – he had 20 years sailing experience while I had 5 days but I learnt if I could sail around the coast of GB with virtually no experience then I could do anything from scratch.

·        Climbing 27 volcanoes – I had aimed to climb 40 by the age of 40 but I got stuck by my excuses and held back by my inner critic and that age milestone passed several years ago but I learnt to listen to the stories I was telling myself which is always the first step towards change. Now I’m just ticking them off as and when.

Arts, Fashion, Broadcasting Reporter

I believe there is an amazing awesomeness inside all of us just waiting to come out, if only we let it.

But often it’s stuck inside by our self-limiting beliefs, by the negative stories we tell ourselves that we’re not good enough or not worthy of success, by our fears & worries & by the expectations we place on ourselves & those we think society places on us. 
 
I’ve learnt that it doesn't have to be this way after:
•	Walking the 3,000km (1,864 mile) Te Araroa Trail down the length of New Zealand (more than 2,000km solo) 
•	Sailing around Great Britain with my partner in a 28-foot boat
•	Writing a book (yet to be published) on the Te Araroa Trail
•	Climbing 25 volcanoes
•	Surviving 8 years in an emotionally abusive relationship
•	Being self-employed as a freelance journalist  

I now write & speak about my adventures & about how we are stronger, more capable, more resilient & more amazing than we think we are. 

Adventure helped me deal with years of chronic self-doubt & self-worth, as well as the emotional fallout from emotional abuse. 

It taught me that self-belief & worth comes from within & that we are enough. 

It taught me that we are powerful; that we can overcome obstacles, rise up from failure & achieve what we initially thought was impossible.

I’ve seen it in myself. I’ve seen this in others. 

Through writing & public speaking, I share my insights from my adventures & my lived experience with the aim of empowering others to believe in themselves so they too can:
•	Overcome self-doubt 
•	Find their inner power & confidence
•	Own their awesomeness
•	Be the person they want to be
•	Achieve their impossible dreams   

My speaking engagements have included: Eton College's Shackleton Society, The Globetrotters Club, Women's Institute, Women's Adventure ACT, mountaineering clubs, Tough Girl Podcast, Why in the World Podcast, Previously Learnt Podcast, Love Her Wild weekend festival.   

If you need a life coach or motivational speaker to bust mindset myths & point to the truth about overcoming self-doubt, dealing with failure, self-belief & self-worth, finding resilience, growth mindset or on the topic of emotional abuse then please get in touch.

Katrina Megget

I've been on a writing retreat in north Devon the past week. 

Working on some bulk editing of my book on my experience walking the Te Araroa Trail down the length of New Zealand. 

It's been lovely having the space - I've ignored all emails. 

And I could get used to having someone cook my lunch and dinner every day and then also do the washing up! 

When I've not been writing I've stepped outdoors to feel the fresh air and see clarity. 

It's been a beautiful reflective exercise and I come away with things I hadn't expected. 

Two days left.

Self-belief & Mindset Coach | Adventurer | Empowering people to turn their impossible goals and secret dreams into reality

My favourite day of the year!

Not because it's Guy Fawkes (although I do love the fireworks) but because this day seven years ago was a beginning and an ending of my life. 

It's the day I started walking the 3,000km (1,864 mile) Te Araroa Trail down the length of New Zealand. 

I'd never done anything like this before. The doubt turned my stomach to mush. 

And it's all the more poignant because I'd denied myself this dream for two years because I didn't think I was good enough. 

Which is why this day marks both a beginning and an ending for me. 

A beginning because it was the start of seeing the awesome truth of me; that I was stronger, more capable than I thought.

A beginning to a new Katrina, a new life, a new purpose and direction. 

And as such it was the ending of who I thought I had been. 

An ending to being held back by chronic self-doubt and believing I wasn't good enough. 

Because in the end I see, I didn't walk the trail to prove I was enough. I walked the trail to learn I was enough already. 

So today I toast the old me and celebrate who I have become - and who I am becoming. 

Thank you for daring to believe you could take the first step. 

It's been a journey. 

🥂

__________________________

I now share my learnings and insights to help others through mindset work to wake up and fall back in love with themselves so they can go on to achieve their own scary, impossible and extraordinary goals and secret dreams. 
Message me if you want to hear more about turning your dreams into reality with my new monthly Dream Clinic community.

Other people can't make you feel anything. 

They can't make you feel stressed or inferior or affect your confidence - or even feel loved. 

That's because we're all in our own "bubbles", creating our own experiences of our life moment to moment from the tens of thousands of thoughts we have, most of which are subconscious. 

This is often called "separate realities" because we all are having different experiences (it's why some people like marmite and other people don't). 

We create our feelings, not other people. 

In other words, what we feel is the experience we have ourselves created from what we think about the other person, what we think about what they said or how they act, what we think about the situation and perhaps most importantly, what we think about ourselves.  

And what that means is we have the power. 

We have the power to choose how we feel by taking responsibility for our thought environment.

It's sort of revolutionary in a way. 

We haven't been taught this and as a result we live the wrong way round - from the outside. 

Instead of from the inside. 

It's why we're exhausted, burnt-out, stuck, and don't like ourselves. 

But there is another way to live. 

We can reclaim our power. 

#ownyourawesome

Monday mojo...

Our Ego Mind can be pretty loud and opinionated at times - and sometimes downright nasty. A real bully.

It likes to tell us all the things we can't do, backing it up with hundreds of seemingly perfectly logical reasons why. 

And what's really annoying is it tends to do this for the things we actually really want to do. The things that call to us. Our secret dreams. 

If we decide to listen to our Ego Mind, we're at risk of staying stuck, safe, small and unsatisfied. 

Imagine if van Gogh had heeded the thought that he couldn't paint?  

The thing is our Ego Mind doesn't know the truth of who we really are - strong, capable, resilient, awesome. Ultimate potential. 

When we see that truth - our truth before thought - when we do what we're called to in spite of our doubt, the Ego's persuasive skills don't hold as much power.  

That's where magic and freedom lie. 

#ownyourawesome

Monday mojo...

Excuses... you know what they're like. 

I'm too busy. I don't have the time. I don't have the money. I can't commit to that right now. I'm not ready. It will be too hard. I'm not brave enough.

And so it goes on. 

And those dreams we have? 

We put it off and put it off until it's dried up shriveled in a corner of our mind gathering cobwebs. 🕸️   

But the thing is the dream, the calling, it's still there - it doesn't go away. 

So just imagine what things might be like if you started and took one tiny little step today instead of putting your dream back in its box. 

Imagine what this time next year might be like if you did that.

How awesome could that be? 

#ownyourawesome

If you're a woman with a calling, impossible goal or secret dream and you're looking for a community of ambitious women who get it, filled with support, inspiration and motivation then check out the Dream Clinic community to help turn your dreams into reality. Link in my bio.

I have a dream. 

It's for women to wake up to themselves, their awesomeness, their desires, their own dreams. 

To believe in themselves so that they can feel they can take the first step on their journey to realising their dreams, creating the life they want, feeling confident to be more of themselves and shine their light. 

To feel free.

I have this dream because one of my superpowers is seeing the inner potential in everyone - what I call our pure, unadulterated awesomeness. 

It's something society teaches us to not see in ourselves - and often to not see in others. 

But I see it. 

And more than anything, I want other women to see it in themselves too. 

It's the main reason I was called to launch the Dream Clinic community for women who have a calling, impossible goal or secret dream and who are looking for support, motivation and inspiration to turn their dreams into reality. 

The work I do changes lives. It makes things possible.   

Because there is more to us than we realise. 

#ownyourawesome

The next session of the Dream Clinic community for women with a calling, impossible goal or secret dream is next Tuesday December 2nd, 8am UK time (9pm NZ time). If this resonates, more details in the link below.

Just for the record...

Men can bake. 

Hubby made cupcakes for my birthday (although I iced them). 

And they are delish. 

Baking is not something to be ashamed of. 

And yet it's easy to put ourselves in boxes - right, wrong, good, bad, masculine, feminine. 

Just do what lights you up. 

The universe, in its special way, will thank you for it. 

And right now, my belly is thanking the cup cake gods. 

🤤

#ownyourawesome

If you have a dream or a goal it will likely require you doing something new or different. 

You'll need to step outside your comfort zone (and that can feel scary). 

Being willing to do that, but knowing you have the courage, resilience and ability to cope is you stepping into the next-level you. 

That's where the magic happens. 

#ownyourawesome

If you're willing to do something you've never done before to achieve something you've never had, maybe the first step is joining the Dream Clinic community. It's for women who have a calling, impossible goal or secret dream. Our next call is next week. Link for more info in my bio.

Back from a glorious - albeit cold - week in North Devon on a writing retreat. 

It was so nice to give myself that time to just focus on my book and me - forget about email, forget about social media, forget about admin and Christmas. (And eat a lot of cake!) 

There were five other people on the retreat, writing and editing their books. 

All on their own journeys. 

All feeling the calling and working on their dream. 

You could feel the collective creative energy. 

And in spite of the writers block and the down days we still kept at it, knowing this was something we had to do - because it was part of us. 

We wanted to make our dreams happen. 

This is exactly the premise of the Dream Clinic community - a community for women who have a calling, impossible goal or secret dream. 

It's a community for support, inspiration and motivation. A chance for a mindset reboot and the opportunity to meet other like-minded women who get it. 

The Dream Clinic community is an invitation to turn your dreams into reality and start living your life. 

Our next session is next Tuesday, December 2nd, 8am UK time.

I'd love for you to join us. More details in the link below.

One of my favourite quotes. 

It's a reminder that growth is on the other side of our comfort zone. 

That if you want to stop feeling stuck, like you're not making progress or you want a change or to uplevel then often a little shift of doing something different is all you need.  

But that's easier said than done when we're stuck in our conditioned thinking. 

So, a more accurate version of this quote is...

If you always think what you've always thought, you'll always do what you've always done and you'll always get what you've always got. 

You see our reality and results are created by our thoughts - in other words, what we think about stuff.

Most of it is conditioned and subconscious. 

So, changing the thought, changes the actions which changes the results. 

It's all about perspective, and awareness is the first step. 

This is what we explore in the Dream Clinic community, a community for women who have a calling, impossible goal or secret dream to help turn dreams into reality through a mindset reboot. Join us tomorrow. More info via the link in my bio.
