WEBVTT - Huge Katie Spoiler Everyone NEEDS To Hear

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Good morning everyone.

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 2>I have some very big Katie news for today's episode

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 2>of the mat Sonya podcast.

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry if I sound a bit shit.

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:09.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm recording this in bed at six am, and aslad

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:11.879
<v Speaker 2>as i'm being I'm trying not to wake my housemate up,

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:12.120
<v Speaker 2>and the.

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Wind's banging against the window.

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>But I've just woke up and I want to get

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:17.919
<v Speaker 2>this wonderful update to all of you people as soon

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 2>as possible. But before I get to what's happening present day,

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 2>here's a grab from last night's episode, just to remind

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 2>ourselves of the latest what we've seen on screen of

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Katie and warning. I mean you've already watched it, but

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 2>this is quite emotional to listen to.

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:42.279
<v Speaker 3>It's just so much there. I'm trying to get to

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 3>know him, but like it's so obvious, like he's not

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 3>into me because of my physical like when I am physically,

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Like there's no lust, there's no spark, like I can

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 3>put it all together.

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not an idiot, like.

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Like why come here if you're going to not trying

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 3>to be open?

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>This sucks.

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Like after so many years, like what else is there?

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Like rejection after rejection after rejection like the common denominator

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 3>is me.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I've tried everything else. Now this isn't working either.

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 2>After revealing all of her insecurities and the body shaming

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>she's received in the past from exes to the experts

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>before our wedding. As we all watched earlier this week,

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, Katie was genuinely hopeful about doing the show.

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Then obviously we watched over the last four episodes as

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 2>that hope and little bit of belief she had in

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 2>herself has just been destroyed by Tim's continual rejection. Well,

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>this was all filmed at the end of July and

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>start of August last year, and if you're wondering how

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Katie is doing now six months later, she's basically a

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 2>new woman. A close friend of hers, who runs Studio Republic,

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>which is Australia's leading empowerment photo studio, reached out to

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 2>me yesterday and shared some audio that I'm about to

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 2>play to you. This audio was recorded earlier this month,

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>so a couple of weeks ago in their photo studio,

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>after Katie had asked them to do a photo shoot

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>for her.

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Now take a listen to this.

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm warning you will not be able to get through

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>this audio with a big smile farming on your face.

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 4>It's all about self love, though, I really resonated with

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.679
<v Speaker 4>empowerment and feeling great within your own skin. I'm going

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 4>on such a journey in my life. It's taken me

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 4>like a long time to feel really good in my

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 4>own skin, and I feel like this is just a

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 4>good reinforcement of that. Like we get one body, and

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 4>we get one chance about being like here now in

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 4>this moment, and I want to do it like shining.

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to be all of me one hundred percent.

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Doing things like this helps bring that out in you,

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 4>and all in all, I.

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Like what I see.

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 4>I like my curves are like my stretch marks are

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 4>like saggy bits, the lumpy bits, the good bits at all.

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.639
<v Speaker 4>The only person that I would to manifest love for

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 4>is myself right now. Like I feel like if your

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 4>cup's full, then it can overflow. You're the only one

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 4>with your journey, You're the only one with your background.

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 4>You're the only one that's had to pull yourself through

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 4>the trenches to get where you are, and that's worthy

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 4>of celebration. It doesn't matter what you look like, so celebrate.

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 4>That's I'm here celebrating myself. You become your own soulmate.

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 4>It's constant work to remind yourself to stay anchored in

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 4>who you are. I've been through my whole life under

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 4>the pressure of the scrutiny of society telling me what

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 4>I should be doing as a woman and what I

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 4>should be should look like as a woman.

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 3>And like the.

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 4>Shoulds of life always like it laid on everyone. Nobody's

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 4>exempted from it unless you really learned to stand in

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 4>your own power. So and everything else just fall the way.

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 2>How incredible is the contrast between that first grab from

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 2>last night's episode to.

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Her now speaking in that photo studio.

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 2>It feels like, as horrible as the Luke stuff is

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>to watch on screen right now, in a bizarre way,

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>there's like a positive.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 1>In it all.

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>And that experience was like the catalyst vocated to look

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 2>within and work on these insecurities and things that you

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>know she's struggled with and has been drowning in for

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>so long.

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>And now look at a literal queen.

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Also, I reckon a lot of us can kind of

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>relate to that, Like we have all had that one

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>person or shit situation or incident in our past that

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of led to our own bottom, and once at

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 2>that level, we then realized like, nah, fuck this, like

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.799
<v Speaker 2>we've got a change and we're doing it for ourselves.

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I literally released a book about mine in November.

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 2>And it was like my diary of the last few years,

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 2>which started the day my husband left me. And when

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>that happened, I just then I was destroyed. I spiraled

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 2>into sleeping with as many people as possible just to

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>try and get any kind of validation because I felt

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 2>worthless and all these things I'd struggled with for all

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 2>of my life, like confidence and a lack of belief,

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.239
<v Speaker 2>were now so heightened that Yeah, rather than looking within,

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to find that validation externally. But then

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>over time, and that's kind of the journey of my book,

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, maybe like this is what you know,

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 2>This that incident and him leaving was what I needed

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 2>to work on these things.

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's not exactly like Katie and said, but

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I think you know what I'm saying. And then yeah,

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 2>just to wrap this up, I'm just happy for Katie

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 2>because it seems like she's doing incredible present days. So

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 2>as we're I watching these scenes and you know, becoming

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 2>upset and heartbroken for her. Let's remember she's got through that.

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 2>That was six months ago, and she's killing it now
