Hi, I'm Katrina.
I'm the voice behind On Becoming. A few years ago my marriage ended, and with it, the version of life I thought I'd have forever. This podcast is everything I wish someone had said to me back then.
My journey
When my marriage ended, I didn't just lose a relationship. I lost the story I'd built my whole identity around. For a while, I didn't recognise the woman in the mirror.
The months that followed were the hardest, loneliest and, strangely, the most transformative of my life. Slowly, through a lot of trial and error and a few too many late nights, I started to rebuild. Not back into who I was, but forward into someone I actually liked.
Why I started On Becoming
I started this podcast because the conversations I needed most were the ones nobody was having out loud. The messy middle. The 3am questions. The grief that hides inside a 'fresh start.'
I wanted to create the warm, honest voice I went looking for and couldn't find, for the woman sitting exactly where I once sat, wondering if she'd ever feel like herself again.
You are not starting over. You are starting from experience, and becoming someone you were always meant to be.

What I hope you feel
More than anything, I want you to feel less alone. Whether you're in the rawest early days or finally finding your feet again, I hope this space feels like a friend who truly gets it.
There's no timeline here, and no 'right' way to heal. Just honest conversation, gentle encouragement, and the quiet reminder that you are becoming, and you are so welcome here.
Katrina xx
