Kate Harlow:

So if I'm walking around saying I don't want a

Kate Harlow:

relationship ever again, I'm done with relationships. We are

Kate Harlow:

complete. I'm guarded. There are walls around my heart, and I'm

Kate Harlow:

also projecting into the future what I how

Kate Harlow:

your experiences, through your ruptures, through your pain,

Kate Harlow:

through your pleasure, through your joy, through every

Kate Harlow:

connection you meet. Life is happening through you, not to

Kate Harlow:

you, not for you, but through you is it's a co creation of

Kate Harlow:

whatever your soul is meant to experience. And I've talked

Kate Harlow:

about this a million times, but like

Kate Harlow:

much greater intelligence than your mind will ever have as to

Kate Harlow:

what is meant for you and what you're meant to experience. And

Kate Harlow:

every new relationship that we attract is an opportunity to

Kate Harlow:

grow more into who we are, as long as we're self aware and

Kate Harlow:

bringing the new paradigm into relationship.

Kate Harlow:

Hello, beautiful. I hope you are enjoying the start to the new

Kate Harlow:

year 2026 although I was talking to my friend about New Year's

Kate Harlow:

the other day, and it's so funny, it's like such a weird

Kate Harlow:

time to have to be in the energy of starting anew. The astrology

Kate Harlow:

New Year is a lot is, is when the spring equinox is, and that

Kate Harlow:

makes so much more sense to me, because the energy we focus on

Kate Harlow:

for New Year's is all about like creating new things and new

Kate Harlow:

energy and growing and changing and evolving, which is, it's

Kate Harlow:

nice to have these little touch points in throughout the year to

Kate Harlow:

to actually be really intentional with how we're

Kate Harlow:

showing up, to check in, to see if we're, you know, showing up

Kate Harlow:

in in ways that are in alignment with how we want to be showing

Kate Harlow:

up. Are we growing? Are we are we evolving? Are we staying

Kate Harlow:

stuck? So I think, I do think it's nice to have these little

Kate Harlow:

touch points, but I feel like the big, big New Year really

Kate Harlow:

should be the spring equinox, because every that's like when

Kate Harlow:

there's life force energy. I suppose this is the spring Well,

Kate Harlow:

it's maybe a better time of year in the southern hemisphere,

Kate Harlow:

which technically I'm in the southern hemisphere right now.

Kate Harlow:

But the spring energy, the beautiful, powerful energy of

Kate Harlow:

spring, is such an amazing time to actually create new things

Kate Harlow:

and new beginnings and and winter, for those of you that

Kate Harlow:

are in winter is such a yin time. It's such a it's such an

Kate Harlow:

internal time. So whatever is going on right now, wherever you

Kate Harlow:

are in the world, if you are in winter and it's dark and it's

Kate Harlow:

cold, let yourself percolate. Let yourself be in pleasure and

Kate Harlow:

self love and self care, like maybe this is the time to go

Kate Harlow:

inward and actually take care of yourself. That is setting you up

Kate Harlow:

for when we go to the Chinese New Year, which is in mid Feb,

Kate Harlow:

and then to the astrology New Year, which is mid March, and

Kate Harlow:

start to build the energy for you to get back into that more

Kate Harlow:

Yang creation, action oriented energy. Just wanted to touch on

Kate Harlow:

that first, but it's so wild. How fast time is going right

Kate Harlow:

now? Are you feeling it? I'm feeling it a lot. I know they

Kate Harlow:

say astrologically, things are moving faster. So we are in a

Kate Harlow:

time where, even though I know they also say, as you get older,

Kate Harlow:

time goes by faster, but astrologically, the world is

Kate Harlow:

moving faster, the time is moving faster. But also time's

Kate Harlow:

an illusion. So I would say, you know, if you're feeling my

Kate Harlow:

practice with time, and feeling like time is going fast, is to

Kate Harlow:

slow down, because if time's an illusion, and I am, you know,

Kate Harlow:

rushing, and I have this never ending to do list, and every day

Kate Harlow:

is just a series of checking boxes and trying to get through

Kate Harlow:

to the end of the day, only to do it again tomorrow, probably

Kate Harlow:

time is going to be going by a lot faster. And also, we're not

Kate Harlow:

treasuring the time. We're not treasuring this moment and this

Kate Harlow:

experience. And I feel like that is the most important gift of

Kate Harlow:

all, is to be able to be present in our lives, and to be present

Kate Harlow:

and paying attention to what are we doing with our time? And am I

Kate Harlow:

doing things that matter to me? Am I making an impact? You know,

Kate Harlow:

we just did three episodes in a row around purpose is the work

Kate Harlow:

I'm doing in the world meaningful to me? Do I care

Kate Harlow:

about what I'm doing? Do I have passions? Am I pouring my heart

Kate Harlow:

into things that I love? Because if you're spending your time

Kate Harlow:

doing things you love, even if time is going faster and we get

Kate Harlow:

to the end of our lives sooner, at least, you spent your time

Kate Harlow:

doing what you love. So it's a little bonus, just thinking

Kate Harlow:

about that. This morning, I'm about to go on a little

Kate Harlow:

spontaneous trip. I got a phone call at 9pm last night from my

Kate Harlow:

dear Soul Sister Rose asking me to go on a. Little trip with her

Kate Harlow:

and her partner, because he's going to the coast for work, and

Kate Harlow:

apparently the coast of Kenya is incredibly beautiful, white

Kate Harlow:

sand, turquoise waters. I'll post it on my Instagram, so make

Kate Harlow:

sure you check it out, although I guess when this episode comes

Kate Harlow:

out, I'll already be back in Nairobi, but I'm just going on a

Kate Harlow:

little spontaneous trip. I am back in Nairobi when I'm

Kate Harlow:

recording this episode, but just going on a very last minute

Kate Harlow:

getting on airplane and going to the coast. I've never been to

Kate Harlow:

the coast of Kenya, and I'm definitely excited to take as

Kate Harlow:

many opportunities as I can, to to to explore this beautiful

Kate Harlow:

country, but also, again, to, like, make my time matter, do

Kate Harlow:

something that actually feels important. So I'm super excited

Kate Harlow:

for that, and I thought I would just record this episode before

Kate Harlow:

I go catch my flight, because this is a conversation that I've

Kate Harlow:

heard, that I hear over and over again. Haven't, haven't talked

Kate Harlow:

about love in a in a little while, we've been focusing on

Kate Harlow:

the holidays, and we've been focusing on purpose, but

Kate Harlow:

circling back to the favorite topic of the new the new truth,

Kate Harlow:

which is love, dating relationships, and this is such

Kate Harlow:

a common thing, the risk of putting your love life on hold,

Kate Harlow:

or when you've given up on love and you just want to throw the

Kate Harlow:

baby out with the bath water. What sparked this original

Kate Harlow:

episode? Or what sparked this episode? I was actually going to

Kate Harlow:

record it in the fall, and there's just there's just been

Kate Harlow:

so many other topics and interviews and everything. So

Kate Harlow:

it's coming out now is I had a Kenyan friend of mine over at my

Kate Harlow:

cottage, and she brought her sister with her, and they're

Kate Harlow:

amazing, powerful, beautiful women. And her sister was

Kate Harlow:

telling me about her love life and just saying, Yeah, I'm just

Kate Harlow:

dating for fun, you know, just playing around. But I left my my

Kate Harlow:

husband, I think he was unfaithful, and she just said, I

Kate Harlow:

am absolutely not open to ever having a relationship again.

Kate Harlow:

Now, this woman was like 35 or maybe 30, maybe not even. And,

Kate Harlow:

you know, it's such an interesting thing that people

Kate Harlow:

say all the time. I also have a male friend who's going through

Kate Harlow:

divorce, and he said almost the same thing. He's like, I'm I'm

Kate Harlow:

just gonna be free forever. I'm gonna be single. I don't have

Kate Harlow:

any interest in being in a relationship again. So there's

Kate Harlow:

multiple things happening here that I want to unpack. First

Kate Harlow:

off, we are projecting what we believe relationship to be after

Kate Harlow:

we've been hurt, what happens is we project that past hurt, or if

Kate Harlow:

we've been maybe we haven't been hurt like, I think of my male

Kate Harlow:

friend, it's not that he was hurt, but but that he was more

Kate Harlow:

just stifled, right, in an old paradigm relationship, that that

Kate Harlow:

was set up in a way that, you know, married with kids and and,

Kate Harlow:

You know, things had to be a certain way. And he did, made a

Kate Harlow:

lot of choices from obligation. So now he affiliates

Kate Harlow:

relationships with obligation and doing things you don't want

Kate Harlow:

to do, and being responsible for other people and having no

Kate Harlow:

capacity for yourself and putting everyone else before

Kate Harlow:

you, because that's what he would do in his marriage, and

Kate Harlow:

then flip to the the woman she was hurt and she was quote,

Kate Harlow:

unquote betrayed, and she had dishonesty in her relationship,

Kate Harlow:

and all of these things. So both of these people are projecting

Kate Harlow:

their past pain and their past struggles with relationships,

Kate Harlow:

and remember, most people are in the old paradigm of

Kate Harlow:

relationship, which is actually codependency, right? Most

Kate Harlow:

relationships are codependent, most but I mean, people don't

Kate Harlow:

even know that this is true. Most people, even therapists,

Kate Harlow:

don't even know, for the most part, that that the old

Kate Harlow:

relationship model we have been

Kate Harlow:

taught that we have learned in school is codependent. It's like

Kate Harlow:

you're responsible for how I feel. You're responsible for

Kate Harlow:

meeting my needs. In the beginning, you make me feel

Kate Harlow:

amazing. Later on, you make me feel horrible. You You have to

Kate Harlow:

make me feel attractive. You have to make me feel beautiful.

Kate Harlow:

You have to make me feel important. That's a Wounded

Kate Harlow:

Little kid. You have to make me feel prioritized, right? If you

Kate Harlow:

are in relationship, looking to get your needs met, that is a

Kate Harlow:

wounded little girl who actually needs your heroine. In my work,

Kate Harlow:

your heroine, she needs the sovereign woman to meet her

Kate Harlow:

needs, not a man, not a partner. And so if you have been in the

Kate Harlow:

old paradigm and you're now sitting in the story of, I never

Kate Harlow:

want love again, you've put love on hold. You're never going to

Kate Harlow:

date again. You're shut down from it altogether, whatever the

Kate Harlow:

story is, you are projecting your past experiences onto the

Kate Harlow:

present moment. But what if something else was available to

Kate Harlow:

you? What if there's a new type of relationship that you've

Kate Harlow:

never experienced before that is available to you? I can assure

Kate Harlow:

you of this. The deeper you go into your loving relationship

Kate Harlow:

with yourself, the deeper you go on this journey. If you're on a

Kate Harlow:

journey with me or with any other teachers, mentors. Guides

Kate Harlow:

or coaches that are helping you come home to yourself, that are

Kate Harlow:

helping you love yourself, that are helping you create a life

Kate Harlow:

you love. The deeper you go into that, the more you will be able

Kate Harlow:

to create a new paradigm type of relationship, which not many

Kate Harlow:

people on planet Earth have. So the new paradigm of relationship

Kate Harlow:

looks like this. It looks like we only get into relationship

Kate Harlow:

because this relationship expands us. Expanded love

Kate Harlow:

method, that's my entire coaching method, the saboteur

Kate Harlow:

and heroin and unlocking the truth of who you are is based on

Kate Harlow:

expansion. Does this relationship make my life

Kate Harlow:

bigger? Does it make it better? Does it make it richer, more

Kate Harlow:

meaningful, more intimate, more beautiful? Most people's

Kate Harlow:

relationships actually make their lives smaller. You might

Kate Harlow:

think it makes it better because it's like, oh, it's more

Kate Harlow:

efficient. We're sharing rent, we're sharing a home, we're

Kate Harlow:

sharing a bed, we're sharing and it might seem like, oh, it's

Kate Harlow:

really efficient. It's making my life better. But are you still

Kate Harlow:

taking responsibility for yourself in that relationship?

Kate Harlow:

Are you growing? Are you evolving? Are you seeing your

Kate Harlow:

partner with new eyes every day and allowing them to grow and

Kate Harlow:

evolve as they grow and evolve like what kind of relationship

Kate Harlow:

are you creating? Do you have open, honest communication? Do

Kate Harlow:

you own your pain? You know, there's so many episodes about

Kate Harlow:

how to navigate triggers that there's an amazing one from the

Kate Harlow:

holidays. I've been hearing lots of great reviews about that

Kate Harlow:

episode. So if you haven't heard it, go back to it. But are you

Kate Harlow:

owning your triggers, or are you projecting your pain all over

Kate Harlow:

your partner and making them responsible for you? Are you

Kate Harlow:

owning your pleasure, or are you projecting the pain of the lack

Kate Harlow:

of pleasure you feel onto your partner, making them responsible

Kate Harlow:

for you? Right? Of course, you're not going to want another

Kate Harlow:

relationship if you're thinking every single relationship is

Kate Harlow:

going to be the same as the last. If you're not taking

Kate Harlow:

responsibility for your patterns, then yeah, you will

Kate Harlow:

attract a similar relationship in the future, and that will not

Kate Harlow:

feel good, right? But here's the thing, you're not a victim

Kate Harlow:

anymore. So we spend our lives in such victim mentality of

Kate Harlow:

like, as if we have no control over anything, like, Oh, I'm

Kate Harlow:

never going to be in a relationship again, because

Kate Harlow:

Relationships are hard, and then we blame the relationship. Like,

Kate Harlow:

why don't you just show up inside of the relationship? And

Kate Harlow:

for now, if you're single, show up inside of your friendships in

Kate Harlow:

a new way. Show up inside of your relationship with your

Kate Harlow:

children or your ex or your whoever you're navigating your

Kate Harlow:

colleagues, learn how to transform how you do

Kate Harlow:

relationship, so that you're in the driver's seat so you don't

Kate Harlow:

have to blame relationships forever and ever, and close down

Kate Harlow:

a massive part of who you are, and a Beautiful opportunity to

Kate Harlow:

grow and an amazing opportunity to to, you know, I think, like

Kate Harlow:

love is, is why we're here. That's why we're here, not just

Kate Harlow:

romantic love, but romantic love is incredible when we know how

Kate Harlow:

to do it, right? The problem is, most people are out there in

Kate Harlow:

relationship, trained by the old paradigm, trained by the

Kate Harlow:

codependent model, right? That was taught by the fairy tale

Kate Harlow:

that someone's going to sweep us off our feet. They're going to

Kate Harlow:

rescue us from our tower. They're going to awaken us from

Kate Harlow:

our coma Sleeping Beauty. They're going to they're going

Kate Harlow:

to save us from our lives and from our misery and from our

Kate Harlow:

anxiety and our sadness and our depression, and one day, they're

Kate Harlow:

going to make us feel amazing, and then when we get married and

Kate Harlow:

mimic the fairy tale fantasy and create this extraordinary,

Kate Harlow:

perfect wedding, and then we create a build a family with

Kate Harlow:

them and create a life. And it doesn't work out. We're gonna

Kate Harlow:

blame relationships. We're gonna blame relationships forever.

Kate Harlow:

We're gonna blame we're gonna project that that is the only

Kate Harlow:

option, and we are going to shut down a part, a huge part, of who

Kate Harlow:

we are. Now I'm not saying you have to be in relationship. This

Kate Harlow:

isn't about relationship thing, the be all and end all. Of

Kate Harlow:

course, I have lots of episodes that are the opposite of this,

Kate Harlow:

that this is not what it's about. It's about are you taking

Kate Harlow:

responsibility for how you're doing anything right, how you're

Kate Harlow:

engaging with everything. Are you just blaming relationships

Kate Harlow:

and marriages and men or women or whoever you're dating and

Kate Harlow:

just shutting that out of your life and then missing out on so

Kate Harlow:

much beauty that you could be experiencing if you were open to

Kate Harlow:

it? Because here's the thing, you're not in charge of your

Kate Harlow:

life. You you are if you're in your saboteur, and then your

Kate Harlow:

life is actually not the life that's meant for you, right? We

Kate Harlow:

have two options in this life. We can choose to create, co

Kate Harlow:

create, a magical existence, a beautiful. Unscripted path that

Kate Harlow:

is made for our soul, that will evolve us and grow us, and that

Kate Harlow:

every single experience we have is part of that evolution and

Kate Harlow:

part of the becoming, and part of the reclaiming and the

Kate Harlow:

uncovering, all of the magic that's inside of your own soul

Kate Harlow:

and that's available on this planet.

Kate Harlow:

That's an option. It's the soul led life, and that's the life

Kate Harlow:

that I live. That's the life that all my clients live. The

Kate Harlow:

soul led life is so good because you don't, you're not, you're

Kate Harlow:

not like, I need a relationship, but you're not like, I'm shut

Kate Harlow:

down from a relationship. There's a soft, beautiful place

Kate Harlow:

in the middle where you're just enjoying your life. And when

Kate Harlow:

love comes around, you're open to it, you're not resistant to

Kate Harlow:

it, and you you're in relationship with your patterns

Kate Harlow:

as they arise, because they will, right? But if you don't

Kate Harlow:

know your patterns, and you're not aware of your patterns, then

Kate Harlow:

the then the patterns take over, and then we blame relationships.

Kate Harlow:

So the option is the soul led life, or the scripted life. And

Kate Harlow:

the scripted life is where you feel like you got to control it,

Kate Harlow:

like as if you have to put out a statement to the universe, I'm

Kate Harlow:

not open to relationships. You tell everyone I don't need a

Kate Harlow:

man. I'm done with relationships. I'm putting that

Kate Harlow:

on hold. I'm never doing that again. What are you doing?

Kate Harlow:

You're literally just painting the past over the present moment

Kate Harlow:

and your future, and you haven't even met your future self yet.

Kate Harlow:

And what if your words matter? What if life is listening and

Kate Harlow:

life is like, okay? You want to control your path, okay? You

Kate Harlow:

want to choose the man that doesn't feel good to be in

Kate Harlow:

relationship with and just stay and be miserable for the rest of

Kate Harlow:

your life. Okay? You want to blame relationships and shut

Kate Harlow:

down from your heart and your intimacy and your sensuality

Kate Harlow:

forever and just live a life that's all workaholism and and,

Kate Harlow:

you know, disconnection and man hating, okay, the universe is

Kate Harlow:

like, go ahead. I don't think it's offended. I don't think the

Kate Harlow:

universe is attached to what which choice you make, but just

Kate Harlow:

know that it's a choice, right? If you think you know how this

Kate Harlow:

story is going to go, just know that's your guarding talking. If

Kate Harlow:

you've decided and it's the same on the other side of the the

Kate Harlow:

flip side of the coin is the same thing, right if you're a

Kate Harlow:

single woman, desperately longing for a relationship and

Kate Harlow:

needing one right now, and wanting a husband and needing it

Kate Harlow:

and trying to find it, it's the same thing. You are trying to

Kate Harlow:

control your future based on someone else's story of what

Kate Harlow:

your life is supposed to look like. How do I know that?

Kate Harlow:

Because the life that's meant for you. A I've said this before

Kate Harlow:

that. David J white quote, you cannot see the path. You can you

Kate Harlow:

can have soul desires. You can have feelings in your body, of

Kate Harlow:

like things you want to experience in your body, but

Kate Harlow:

when you are trying to control your path and what your life

Kate Harlow:

looks like now, like shutting love out or being obsessed with

Kate Harlow:

having it you're missing right now. And right now is a part of

Kate Harlow:

your story, right we throw the baby out with the bath water.

Kate Harlow:

Right now is a part of your story, and it's a beautiful

Kate Harlow:

part. And the heart led life, which is living from your

Kate Harlow:

heroine, the soul led life, the heart led life. That is the life

Kate Harlow:

that is made for every single one of us. But unfortunately,

Kate Harlow:

not a lot of people are living from this place when you're

Kate Harlow:

truly rooted in who you are, your home in your body, your

Kate Harlow:

home in your heart, your home in your soul. The Heart led life is

Kate Harlow:

about being with what you're experiencing right now, and

Kate Harlow:

being open to everything you have no idea where life will

Kate Harlow:

lead you and if your controlled mind and all of these

Kate Harlow:

preconceived notions and stories and scripts of of who you're

Kate Harlow:

supposed to date, what relationships are supposed to

Kate Harlow:

look like, what I think Like, what I'm attracted to right now.

Kate Harlow:

I've never been attracted to in my life when in a man like the

Kate Harlow:

qualities and what matters to me now have nothing to do with the

Kate Harlow:

the checklist or this the the story of what I thought I wanted

Kate Harlow:

in relationship before, because I'm just engaging with me right

Kate Harlow:

now, and with my life right now, my heart is so open, and I'm

Kate Harlow:

noticing what I'm attracted to the most is energy. If I feel an

Kate Harlow:

energetic connection with someone, even in friendships,

Kate Harlow:

that's when and the energy just flows. And it's this beautiful

Kate Harlow:

reciprocal energy that's what I'm attracted to. It's not about

Kate Harlow:

where they come from, what they look like, what they what

Kate Harlow:

they're, what they do for a living, how much money they

Kate Harlow:

make. None of that stuff matters anymore, because I'm sovereign.

Kate Harlow:

I make my own money. I have my own my own life, my own world. I

Kate Harlow:

take responsibility fully for myself. I'm not looking for some

Kate Harlow:

perfect. Paper partner to fill something I'm engaging with,

Kate Harlow:

what I'm attracted to in life, and that goes for experiences,

Kate Harlow:

too. I'm about to go on a journey to the coast. Yeah, I

Kate Harlow:

did, and I am so excited. It was not even on my radar. But a week

Kate Harlow:

ago, I wasn't looking for a trip to the coast. I met someone at

Kate Harlow:

Ola pangi who was going, who was going to the coast, and she

Kate Harlow:

lives in Nairobi. She and her mom were on their way, and

Kate Harlow:

actually think they were going to the same place that we're

Kate Harlow:

going. And she said, Oh my gosh, Kate, you're gonna love the

Kate Harlow:

coast. It's so beautiful there. It's really hot right now, but

Kate Harlow:

it's so beautiful. The water is like a warm bath. It's

Kate Harlow:

incredible. And I was like, Oh my gosh, cool. And I felt this

Kate Harlow:

little spark. And I was like, I wonder when I'll go I'm gonna

Kate Harlow:

I'm not going to be in Nairobi long enough to plan a trip to

Kate Harlow:

the coast, because I'm back and forth between here and Ola

Kate Harlow:

pangi, and then I'm going to Greece, and then I'm going to

Kate Harlow:

Canada. So I just thought maybe I'll go, like, next year. I

Kate Harlow:

guess I'm not going to have time this year. That was one week

Kate Harlow:

ago, and here I am going to the coast. So that's the magic of

Kate Harlow:

life, right? So, so my and when, when I got the invitation to go,

Kate Harlow:

even though I had to make the decision last minute, my heart

Kate Harlow:

was such a yes. It was just like the feeling of having this

Kate Harlow:

experience was such a yes and a yes for right now, right? So

Kate Harlow:

this is like with love. Let it when you live from your heart,

Kate Harlow:

there's an openness to all energetic connections, but we

Kate Harlow:

don't need to make a meaning of where it's going and if it's not

Kate Harlow:

going, Oh, I'm not open to a relationship or this person

Kate Harlow:

needs to be my partner. You see how we're constantly projecting

Kate Harlow:

onto the thing, as opposed to just being present with the

Kate Harlow:

experience this my loves will change your whole life when you

Kate Harlow:

can learn to just be present with what you feel and to let

Kate Harlow:

yourself be expanded and have expansive moments, and to let

Kate Harlow:

yourself create a life that expands you so that that becomes

Kate Harlow:

your normal, right? We only get sideswiped by fantasy, fairy

Kate Harlow:

tale love and some like, some hope of like, Oh, here he is.

Kate Harlow:

He's arrived, and now I'm going to be rescued when we're not

Kate Harlow:

when our life isn't expanded, like, if your life is dull and

Kate Harlow:

mundane and boring and scripted and predictable and empty and

Kate Harlow:

disconnected and numb, of course, you're going to get

Kate Harlow:

sideswiped by the idea of some Prince rescuing you on a white

Kate Harlow:

horse, of course, right? But when your life is amazing, and

Kate Harlow:

you feel so good in your body, and your devotion is to taking

Kate Harlow:

care of yourself and feeling good in every possible way,

Kate Harlow:

physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, all the

Kate Harlow:

ways. Like, if that's your life, and you have designed a life of

Kate Harlow:

pleasure, you're not going to need to close to love, and

Kate Harlow:

you're also not going to be so attached to it, right? There's a

Kate Harlow:

beautiful place in the middle where you're just living from

Kate Harlow:

the heart, and you just are following your yeses in the

Kate Harlow:

moment and trusting that life has a greater plan. And every

Kate Harlow:

time you forget that life has a greater plan for you than your

Kate Harlow:

mind ever could. Just say thank you giving this to you like.

Kate Harlow:

Let's say you you meet someone you really like, and your

Kate Harlow:

saboteur wants to shut down and run, I'm not open to love. Or

Kate Harlow:

your saboteur wants to chase them and grab on and, you know,

Kate Harlow:

get win them over.

Kate Harlow:

Those are the moments where you come back to the present moment.

Kate Harlow:

Feel your feet on the ground, take a breath. Do some somatic

Kate Harlow:

re reconnecting to your own body, to your Soma, and then

Kate Harlow:

saying to the universe, thank you so much for taking this I

Kate Harlow:

know you've got it. I know your plan. I feel really amazing in

Kate Harlow:

this moment at this potential job, or this potential love, or

Kate Harlow:

whatever the thing might be, or I feel terrified of it. Whatever

Kate Harlow:

your story is, you give it to the universe and you say, or the

Kate Harlow:

divine, or God, or whoever you want to call, it doesn't matter.

Kate Harlow:

It's just they're just names. You choose the name that feels

Kate Harlow:

the best. You give it to the universe, and you say, Thank you

Kate Harlow:

for taking this because the reality is, every time you're in

Kate Harlow:

fear of your future, you are suffering, and all that means is

Kate Harlow:

you're disconnected from your divinity. Every time you're in

Kate Harlow:

fear of the future or you're questioning the past, you are

Kate Harlow:

disconnected from your divinity because the reality is the

Kate Harlow:

divine part of you knows that it's all perfect, all of it,

Kate Harlow:

every mess, every challenge, every heartbreak, it's all

Kate Harlow:

perfect. This is exactly how your life is supposed to go,

Kate Harlow:

even if your life is in the script, in the script,

Kate Harlow:

controlling life, controlling life. And then one day, Kate

Kate Harlow:

says something on the podcast, or I read a book and I and that

Kate Harlow:

one line hits me so hard, or I go on this retreat, or I. Have a

Kate Harlow:

moment in the bath, or whatever the whatever your turning point

Kate Harlow:

moment might be. One day, there's a moment where you stop

Kate Harlow:

believing the script, and you stop trying to control your

Kate Harlow:

life, and you stop painting a horror story onto every future

Kate Harlow:

potential relationship you've ever had, and you actually allow

Kate Harlow:

what comes to you to be there so you can grow and evolve and

Kate Harlow:

learn. One moment will change everything for you. And

Kate Harlow:

sometimes it's many moments. Usually it's many, many moments.

Kate Harlow:

It's like the seeds have been planted, and then one day that

Kate Harlow:

garden starts to bloom, and you're like, oh my god, I get

Kate Harlow:

it. Whoa. I get it. I was a victim, being passive to

Kate Harlow:

relationships, blaming relationships and thinking every

Kate Harlow:

future relationship is going to be the same, because I have no

Kate Harlow:

choice. You have all the choice in the world my loves. You can

Kate Harlow:

learn about your saboteur patterns. You can learn about

Kate Harlow:

what part you contributed to that relationship that didn't

Kate Harlow:

feel good, even if on paper, it looks like your partner was way

Kate Harlow:

worse than you, even if they betrayed you, they hurt you. It

Kate Harlow:

was toxic. What was your part? You played a part, right? If you

Kate Harlow:

were in a toxic relationship, were you self sacrificing? Were

Kate Harlow:

you shape shifting? Were you ignoring all of those horrible

Kate Harlow:

gut feelings that were screaming at you? What is your part, and

Kate Harlow:

that is right now, instead of just staying in some limited,

Kate Harlow:

ridiculous story that love is not for you and you're never

Kate Harlow:

going to have it again. Like, how much time do you spend

Kate Harlow:

feeding these stupid stories that just keep robbing you from

Kate Harlow:

your life versus being with like, Okay, I'm on my own right

Kate Harlow:

now. I'm going to get really intimate with myself. Join us in

Kate Harlow:

the reclamation. Join me on the heroin journey of uncovering and

Kate Harlow:

unlocking all of who you are. Like go work with someone and

Kate Harlow:

actually use this time to devote yourself to understanding your

Kate Harlow:

patterns really intimately and deeply, and use this time to

Kate Harlow:

awaken who you really are and unlock all of those repressed

Kate Harlow:

parts of you. So the next time love does come knocking on your

Kate Harlow:

door, you're not afraid of it. You're not looking for it to

Kate Harlow:

save you. You're not obsessed with it. You're not shut down

Kate Harlow:

from it. You're not sacrificing for it, right? That's all

Kate Harlow:

saboteur patterns, like something else is possible, and

Kate Harlow:

I've witnessed heroin after heroin after heroin. Women work

Kate Harlow:

with me have the most horrible relationships prior to the

Kate Harlow:

journey of unlocking all of who they are and untethering from

Kate Harlow:

their saboteur conditioned self, attract relationships and and

Kate Harlow:

and, or even I think of a woman I'm, I've, I'm working with

Kate Harlow:

right now, who is married and has been married for years, has

Kate Harlow:

two children, and they have their relationship is better now

Kate Harlow:

than ever, like it's a whole new relationship. This is what's

Kate Harlow:

available to you. You when you stop blaming relationships, you

Kate Harlow:

stop blaming men, you stop blaming being single, you stop

Kate Harlow:

blaming being married, you stop blaming all of these

Kate Harlow:

circumstances outside of you, and you learn about your

Kate Harlow:

blueprint and how you've been doing relationships in the past,

Kate Harlow:

and how you can alchemize those protective mechanisms and start

Kate Harlow:

to live from the truth of who you are, you get to experience

Kate Harlow:

the new paradigm of relationship, which, prior to

Kate Harlow:

this moment, didn't exist for you, right? It's such a limited

Kate Harlow:

perspective to sit back and just blame relationships and blame

Kate Harlow:

other people like you are absolutely powerless, but you're

Kate Harlow:

also missing a huge part of who you are. You are missing the

Kate Harlow:

magic that you can experience and the love and the beauty from

Kate Harlow:

deepening an intimacy with someone, even if it only lasts

Kate Harlow:

for three weeks, even if it only lasts for three months or three

Kate Harlow:

years. I don't know why I'm stuck on threes today, but no

Kate Harlow:

matter how long this relationship lasts, if you

Kate Harlow:

attract one, it's a gift, because it's an opportunity for

Kate Harlow:

you to grow, and there's something there for you.

Kate Harlow:

So let's rewrite the story like it's time to become the heroine

Kate Harlow:

of your own life. The world is changing. Systems are crumbling.

Kate Harlow:

They were in the age of Aquarian, which is all about

Kate Harlow:

big, dreaming, big, thinking, living, big. You know, this is

Kate Harlow:

time is flying by. Your life is so precious. Every moment is

Kate Harlow:

precious. Why don't you stop projecting the past onto the

Kate Harlow:

future? Stop thinking you know how this story is going to go

Kate Harlow:

stop wasting your time in all of these stories that aren't true,

Kate Harlow:

that are limited, that are hurting you, that are keeping

Kate Harlow:

you suffering, and come back to your Divine Self. Come back to

Kate Harlow:

your heroine, where you get to create a new story. You get to

Kate Harlow:

not be a victim of the past. You get to create. Create a new

Kate Harlow:

story and and not walk through life with guards. Because my

Kate Harlow:

love, even though you think your guards are in reaction to your

Kate Harlow:

ex and that, you know, like I'm gonna block love forever because

Kate Harlow:

I was hurt by a man, and I'm gonna block every man on planet

Kate Harlow:

Earth, you think that's, you know, harming someone, if you

Kate Harlow:

only person it's harming is you. You know you've heard that

Kate Harlow:

statement. Holding on to resentment is like drinking

Kate Harlow:

poison and expecting the other person to die. Like you're not

Kate Harlow:

actually hurting the other people. You're hurting yourself

Kate Harlow:

because you're walking through the world with guards up. You

Kate Harlow:

can walk through the world with your heart open. Your heart

Kate Harlow:

doesn't ever need protection. I will tell you this your mind

Kate Harlow:

might tell you otherwise, you never need to protect yourself.

Kate Harlow:

You need to know how to speak your truth, how to say no when

Kate Harlow:

it's a no and yes when it's a yes, lovingly, you need to know

Kate Harlow:

how to stand firmly and rooted in you and how to listen to your

Kate Harlow:

own inner compass, rather than everyone else's opinion of what

Kate Harlow:

your life is supposed to be, or who you should be, or what you

Kate Harlow:

should do. But you don't need guards. The protection is only

Kate Harlow:

hurting you. It's not helping you. It's not serving you in any

Kate Harlow:

way. So when you want to give up on love, just know that that

Kate Harlow:

means you're giving up on a huge part of who you are. Instead,

Kate Harlow:

make your life like. Create a life of love. Create a life of

Kate Harlow:

love like, let's like, reclaim that word. That word is not just

Kate Harlow:

about some person that you share a bed with. Love is who you are.

Kate Harlow:

Love is the life that's available to you. You can create

Kate Harlow:

a life that you love, where you actually love every person in

Kate Harlow:

your life deeply you don't. You're not in stories of blame

Kate Harlow:

or resentment or whatever, but you're only surrounded by people

Kate Harlow:

who you feel expanded by. You're only you know, spending time and

Kate Harlow:

if you're not expanded by someone that you again take

Kate Harlow:

responsibility and look in the mirror and own your own part and

Kate Harlow:

take the medicine and the lesson from this person who's

Kate Harlow:

activating you so that you're not just stuck in some victim

Kate Harlow:

story that that you blame your sister in law, you blame your

Kate Harlow:

your your mom, or you blame your ex husband, like if you're If

Kate Harlow:

you're blaming anyone for your pain, and you're keeping this

Kate Harlow:

story alive inside of you that they're at fault for your pain.

Kate Harlow:

You are wasting your life. Your life is so precious. Let this be

Kate Harlow:

the year that you become the heroine, that you become the

Kate Harlow:

leading lady of a story that you love, of a film that you want to

Kate Harlow:

put out to the world that you be proud of, of all of the

Kate Harlow:

adventures you've been on and all of the risks you took, and

Kate Harlow:

all of the courage and all of the heart felt meaningful

Kate Harlow:

moments you had with a lover, with a with a one person, one

Kate Harlow:

night on a date that you know, even if it didn't go anywhere,

Kate Harlow:

you had one magical night, right, with friends, with with,

Kate Harlow:

with purpose, your life purpose and doing work that's

Kate Harlow:

meaningful, like create a life that you love, then you're don't

Kate Harlow:

have to protect yourself from anything, because you're happy.

Kate Harlow:

You're satiated. And of course, let me reiterate, you're not

Kate Harlow:

happy in every moment, but in the moments that the saboteur

Kate Harlow:

kicks up. The stories get loud. Know that every time your

Kate Harlow:

saboteur is like, I don't need love, I don't need men, I'm shut

Kate Harlow:

down. I'm never going to be in relationship again. Know that.

Kate Harlow:

Oh, thank you so much, Regina. I see you writing the future

Kate Harlow:

again. I hear you. I understand Regina is my saboteur. I name

Kate Harlow:

your saboteur if you haven't already, I understand why you

Kate Harlow:

want to protect me from the future, from future pain because

Kate Harlow:

of past pain. It makes sense. Thank you so much. And then you

Kate Harlow:

love up that little wounded girl who's underneath, who

Kate Harlow:

internalized the hurt, who made it mean something about her,

Kate Harlow:

who's feeling not good enough, not who's feeling deeply hurt by

Kate Harlow:

the past. That little girl just needs your heroine to love her.

Kate Harlow:

She needs the sovereign woman to say, you're okay, my love, you

Kate Harlow:

are going to be just fine. I've got you. You're safe. I'm not

Kate Harlow:

putting your your safety in the hands of anyone in the future,

Kate Harlow:

but we're going to experience so much love and so much adventure

Kate Harlow:

and so many meaningful connections and so much

Kate Harlow:

intimacy, and we're going to do it differently this time, right?

Kate Harlow:

Your heroine says that to the little girl inside, instead of

Kate Harlow:

the alternative when you're in the story, projecting that

Kate Harlow:

you're not open to love, projecting that every man on

Kate Harlow:

planet earth is going to hurt you, projecting all of these

Kate Harlow:

stories onto your future self and your future that hasn't

Kate Harlow:

happened yet, that little girl needs you, and your saboteur

Kate Harlow:

just needs to be heard. And like I just did, I just gave a demo

Kate Harlow:

of holding space for her being empathic, understanding or not

Kate Harlow:

empathic, empathetic, like understanding her I understand.

Kate Harlow:

Why you want to protect me right now? I haven't heard in the past

Kate Harlow:

that makes sense. Thank you so much for protecting me. I

Kate Harlow:

actually don't need your services today, right? And then

Kate Harlow:

giving that little girl that's underneath every time your

Kate Harlow:

saboteur patterns are there and you're in the story of

Kate Harlow:

limitation and lack and fear, there's a Wounded Little Girl

Kate Harlow:

underneath. So just spend some time with these parts of

Kate Harlow:

yourself love them up, and that is the sovereign woman. That is

Kate Harlow:

your heroine, taking charge and now from that place and those

Kate Harlow:

parts feeling tended to and cared for by the person that

Kate Harlow:

they need to be cared for, which is you. Now you can come back to

Kate Harlow:

the present moment. You can come back to the truth. You can come

Kate Harlow:

back to allowing life to lead right, allowing life to bring

Kate Harlow:

you what you're meant to experience, and you saying yes

Kate Harlow:

to all those things that grow you in the meantime, that grow

Kate Harlow:

your heroine, say yes to those things that feel scary but that

Kate Harlow:

you're excited about. So you can keep growing who you are and

Kate Harlow:

your connection to your heart and soul, and then when you're

Kate Harlow:

living from that place, you get to experience a new paradigm of

Kate Harlow:

love. So much more is available. So hopefully this episode was

Kate Harlow:

helpful. Share this with every single woman you know who's shut

Kate Harlow:

down from love, every woman going through heartbreak that

Kate Harlow:

never wants to go there again. So much more as possible, and

Kate Harlow:

you are missing the magic of your shut down from anything

Kate Harlow:

like trust life, life will show you, and you start to, over

Kate Harlow:

time, rebuild that trust, because you see that when you

Kate Harlow:

follow your own heart and your own compass, how much life is on

Kate Harlow:

your side and how much life in the universe are supporting you

Kate Harlow:

on your journey, and that you're not alone and you're not so.

Kate Harlow:

Love you lots. If you're curious about the heroin journey, reach

Kate Harlow:

out to me. Send me a DM, or you can go to my website and sign up

Kate Harlow:

for a phone chat with me, and we can see if it's aligned, to go

Kate Harlow:

on the journey together. But it's a pretty life changing one,

Kate Harlow:

when you take responsibility for your journey and become the CO

Kate Harlow:

creator of it, so you're no longer a victim of the past and

Kate Harlow:

projecting it onto the future, so much more is possible. Love

Kate Harlow:

you. We'll see you next week.
