About Me
Hi, I am Cathy and I am glad you are here!
I am a former corporate lawyer turned life coach and horse mom. I became a lawyer because I wanted to help people, which I did. However, my motivation was also strongly driven by my inner perfectionist who chased the idea of success on society’s terms. At first, getting external validation for achieving career milestones felt great, but that feeling faded when personal tragedy struck. When my Dad was diagnosed with cancer, I decided to walk beside him as a caregiver. Losing him made me reassess my own values and I decided that life was too short to silence my instincts and diminish my natural gifts. I took a leap of faith to go all in on living a more authentic life.
I quit law, bought a horse, and headed out into the unknown. I went against what I was conditioned to do and instead of pushing through, I slowed down to process my grief. I found solace in the shelter of trees and comfort in spending time with my horse, Foxy. Rather than trying to please others, I tuned out the external noise in order to hear my own inner voice and figure out what was important to me rather than seeking external validation. Instead of staying silent, I asked myself powerful questions and took small steps to reclaim those parts of myself I want to share with the world.
Now, my life is about inspiring others to reclaim themselves, pursuing my own creativity and finding nourishment in nature and spending time with horses. It has not been an easy journey to where I am now, but it is one that I would choose every time.
