In this soul-deep episode of Hello Void, Kate Paullin welcomes leadership and transitions coach Laura Shepherd for a rich conversation on emotional wholeness, self-trust, and the messy, magnificent process of becoming.

Together, they dive into:

* The myth of “arriving” and why healing is a spiral, not a straight line

* What happens when we stop suppressing emotions and start integrating them

* The cost of being “too much” in a world that rewards emotional restraint

* Why self-trust is the real antidote to uncertainty

* How Laura uses photography and nature to make space for pain and perspective

* The power of choosing authenticity—even when it’s inconvenient

You’ll leave this episode with a deep exhale, a fresh lens on emotional wellbeing, and a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to be whole.

Final reminder from Laura: “Lean into who you are and who you want to be. That’s where the magic begins.”

About Kate Paullin

Hi, I’m Kate Paullin, a holistic depth coach, reflective writer, and deeply curious human. My mission at this point in my life is to connect with and help people who are done outsourcing their answers and want to build a stronger relationship with themselves so they can actually enjoy being human in all of its messy glory.

My approach is grounded in self-compassion, emotional agility, and honoring your natural energy patterns. After learning I’m AuDHD at 38 and becoming an entrepreneur at 40, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to embrace who you are in a world that doesn’t always get you. But I also know the power that comes from owning your strengths, doing what interests you, and letting that guide your way forward. That’s why I do what I do.
