#22: Small actions; BIG changes

Season #2

In this episode of Happy Go Fabulous, Catherine invites us into a warm and deeply personal reflection on how small changes can make a surprisingly big difference in our lives. She opens by sharing her experience with growing out her hair from a short pixie cut—a process that has tested her patience and confidence.

After months of feeling awkward and frustrated with the in-between stages, a spontaneous visit to a walk-in hairdresser in Canberra transformed everything. With just a tiny, precise trim, she felt an immediate and dramatic shift in her confidence and energy.

Catherine parallels this with another micro shift: her renewed focus on hydration inspired by a recent Ayurvedic consultation. She explains how drinking warm water at intentional times (especially first thing in the morning and around meals) made her feel more satisfied, less prone to snacking, and more connected to her body’s needs. These seemingly minor adjustments — a few millimeters of hair, a few extra glasses of water — significantly improved how she felt physically and emotionally.

She encourages listeners to explore what small tweaks they could make in their own lives—whether it's related to health, habits, or how we show up for ourselves. Drawing on the metaphor of how even a massive ship can turn course with just a tiny adjustment, Catherine reminds us that transformation doesn’t always require dramatic overhauls—just consistent, thoughtful steps.

She wraps up by offering two resources: The Power of Micro Habits, a practical guide to sustainable daily shifts, and Whispers, Nudges & Goosebumps, a soulful workbook to help listeners tap into their intuition. As always, her storytelling weaves insight with encouragement, inspiring us to stay fabulous and keep moving forward—one small change at a time.

Key Takeaways:

  • A tiny haircut adjustment helped Catherine feel more confident and energized after months of frustration.
  • An Ayurvedic consultation reminded her of the importance of hydration—especially warm water at specific times.
  • Small, precise lifestyle shifts can produce big emotional and physical results.
  • Micro changes build momentum and help realign us with what matters.
  • Listeners are encouraged to find their own “micro tweaks” in areas like self-care, wellness, or habits.
