WELCOME
Welcome to Rise and Shine Adventures! I’m Kathryn but everyone calls me Kat (this is Australia after all and if there is one thing we all do its lazy shortening of words). I live just outside of Melbourne in Victoria, I’m in my 30s and I did a thing - namely, this site!
If you want to read more about my story you can read my full bio here, or read some journal entries here. I really hope that sharing my tales will bring something to someone else and in some small way I can help you make your dreams come true too.
So now that we’re introduced you may want to check out some of the more popular posts, I’ve made a list below.

RISE AND SHINE BOOK
Implementing a conscious personal growth focused morning routine has been such a game changer for me. It’s helped me learn more about myself and what is important to me.
You may already have a morning routine in place but if you’re feeling flat and frustrated with life I would ask that you check in with yourself to find out if it’s really serving you. So many women start there day in reaction mode, emails, family demands, work demands, even your pets. Having a conscious personal growth focused morning routine helps you move into proactive mode and ensuring your day starts by serving you.
I started writing it during the circuit breaker lockdown in May 2021 and I look forward to launching it in September!

Sarah
After throwing in her scrubs, this lab tech decided to pursue her love of dog training. After becoming a qualified dog trainer she helped pet lovers to understand their furry family members and teach all dogs new tricks. Sarah got Lacey in 2019 and the rest is history. Sarah is a fan of sending postcards, cheese, and long conversations.

Lacey
Lacey is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd. She loves playing with toys and other dogs. Her favourite treat is sardines, and the first time she went to the beach she ran until her legs shook. Lacey has no idea whats going on but she’s always up for anything.

Kathryn
After an epic tour of Europe in 2018 Kathryn has been considering her next adventure. She came to the realisation that she’s always said she wanted to see more of Australia and there’s no time like the present! She enjoys writing and illustrating books for kids when she’s not planning new adventures. She likes 80s bops and the colour yellow. She’s also very bossy but Sarah’s cool with it.
