    There’s something powerful about hearing someone s There’s something powerful about hearing someone speak openly about love, vulnerability, connection, and the parts of ourselves we often keep hidden. This reel is a little glimpse into the conversations I’ll be bringing to the Mind Body Spirit Festival this month. So many of us long for deeper connection. To feel emotionally safe. To feel accepted as we are. To love and be loved without losing ourselves in the process. Across the festival weekend, I’ll be speaking about opening the heart, self-love, intimacy, emotional growth, and the courage it takes to stay connected to ourselves and others. ✨ Saturday 23 May | 10.30am – 12pm | Ceremony Space Opening the Heart: Reclaiming the Sacred Power of Love and Self Worth This deeper workshop experience is an invitation to reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have learned to close down through hurt, rejection, shame or disappointment. Together we’ll explore emotional openness, self worth, vulnerability, intimacy and the courage it takes to stay connected to yourself whilst navigating relationships and life. A space for reflection, healing, softness and remembering the love that already exists within you. ✨ Saturday 23 May | 1.15pm | Ceremony Space Opening Your Heart to Love ✨ Monday 25 May | 12.15pm | Ceremony Space Opening Your Heart to Self Love ✨ Monday 25 May | 1.30pm | Midlife Wisdom Stage Midlife Wisdom: Opening Your Heart to Love If you’re coming to the festival, I’d genuinely love to meet you. Come and say hello after the talks. ❤️ @mbswellbeing What helps you feel emotionally safe and connected in relationships? #MindBodySpiritFestival #SelfLove #Relationships #EmotionalIntimacy #AuthenticConnection #AttachmentStyles #LoveAndConnection #RelationshipTherapy #CateMackenzie #ConsciousRelationships
    Sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen Sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen when we step out of our usual routines and allow ourselves to be seen a little more openly. I’ll be at the Mind Body Spirit Festival this month, and I’d genuinely love to meet some of you there. Over the weekend, I’ll be speaking about love, intimacy, self acceptance, emotional growth, and the courage it takes to stay connected to ourselves and others. Here’s where you can find me: ✨ Saturday 23 May | 1.15pm | Ceremony Space Opening Your Heart to Love A guided experience exploring how we open ourselves to love in relationships and in life. ✨ Monday 25 May | 12.15pm | Ceremony Space Opening Your Heart to Self Love A gentle invitation into self acceptance, compassion and reconnecting with yourself with more softness. ✨ Monday 25 May | 1.30pm | Midlife Wisdom Stage Opening Your Heart to Love in Midlife A conversation about love, confidence, emotional growth and intimacy during midlife. So many people are quietly longing for deeper connection, emotional safety, and more authenticity in love. And often, healing begins in very human moments: a conversation, a reflection, a feeling of being understood. If you’re attending the festival, come and say hello. I would truly love to connect with you in person.✨ Have you ever had a conversation that changed the way you saw yourself or relationships? #MindBodySpiritFestival #Relationships #EmotionalIntimacy #LoveAndConnection #RelationshipCoach #EmotionalHealing #AttachmentStyles #AuthenticConnection #Embodiment #ConsciousRelationships #CateMackenzie
    Here’s a little snippet from when I was invited on Here’s a little snippet from when I was invited onto @singleladiespod with comedians Amy Gledhill and Harriet Kemsley, where we spoke about dating, vulnerability, relationships, and the emotional parts of ourselves that can unexpectedly show up. Dating can awaken younger parts within us. The part that wants to feel chosen, wanted, and truly seen. So when dating feels emotional, it is not always just about the person in front of us. Sometimes it is an older wound quietly asking, will I be wanted this time? The real work is learning to stay connected to ourselves whilst we date, rather than losing ourselves trying to prove our worth.

    I was reminiscing about the time I was invited ont I was reminiscing about the time I was invited onto @singleladiespod with comedians Amy Gledhill and Harriet Kemsley, two single women in their 30s navigating the world of dating, relationships, vulnerability, and everything that comes with it. We spoke about dating in general, but something that came up in the conversation has stayed with me ever since. Dating can awaken parts of us we thought we had already outgrown. The shy part. The uncertain part. The part that wonders, am I attractive enough? Interesting enough? Too much? And suddenly, we can feel much younger than we are. Not because we are immature. But because dating has a way of touching older emotional places within us. The parts that longed to feel chosen. Wanted. Delighted in. Met with warmth and care. So when dating feels emotional, or a crush suddenly feels overwhelming, it may not only be about this person in front of us. It may also be a younger part inside asking, will I be wanted this time? And this is where tenderness matters. Not shaming those feelings. Not forcing ourselves to “be more confident.” But learning to stay connected to ourselves whilst we date. To gently remind ourselves, I’ve got you. You do not have to go into this alone. Because dating becomes very different when it stops being about proving our worth, and becomes more about meeting someone whilst staying rooted in ourselves.

    Dating can feel like everything is on the line. N Dating can feel like everything is on the line. Not just “do I like them?” but “Will they choose me?” And often, that pressure isn’t only about the date itself. It’s older than that. Parts of us can show up feeling unseen, unchosen, not quite enough… hoping this new person will finally give us the validation we’ve been longing for. That’s a lot for one interaction to carry. So the deeper question becomes: Can I stay connected to myself while dating? Can I be present with my feelings without abandoning myself for approval? Because when you stop asking someone else to decide your worth, something shifts. There’s more ease. More curiosity. More choice.

    Have you ever felt like you and someone else are j Have you ever felt like you and someone else are just missing each other completely? Like no matter how much you try, it turns into confusion, distance, or frustration. It’s exhausting. And it can make you want to give up. But sometimes, what’s needed isn’t something big or complicated. It’s a few more words. A little more space. A bit more willingness to really hear each other. To let someone into your world. And to be brave enough to step into theirs. That’s often where things begin to shift. If you’re feeling stuck in this kind of dynamic, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Would you be open to trying something different? 💗 #relationshipgrowth #communication #couplesupport #emotionalintelligence #connection
